My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 310

Chapter 310 Only… Can You Defeat the Inner Demons!

The wooden fish sounded and the bell rang.

The three paper effigies transformed into a young girl, an old woman, and a middle-aged woman, respectively. They sat cross-legged around Youqin Xuanya, raised their Dharma artifacts, and chanted the ‘Grand Pure One’s Heart-Calming Incantation’ in unison.

Under the activation of the immortal power that was of the Golden Immortal, the incantation condensed into small green words that revolved around Youqin Xuanya.

However, in the blink of an eye, the pain on Youqin Xuanya’s face had mostly disappeared. Her body was no longer trembling. That would not treat the cause of the problem.

Li Changshou pointed at the door of her Cave Abode and used the barrier to seal it before walking forward.

He took out a meditation cushion from his sleeve and sat five steps behind Youqin Xuanya. He used a simple incantation technique and carefully probed Youqin Xuanya’s essence soul.

Upon doing so, Li Changshou realized… Her toxic mind was in a mess. Her mental demons had grown to a very serious state.

Li Changshou could not help but feel puzzled.

Back then, his evaluation of Youqin Xuanya was that she had a flawless Dao heart and would never have any mental demons in her life. However, Youqin Xuanya had proved him wrong.

Indeed…

one can never be too sure about something and jump to conclusions.

I should include this in the next version of the Steadiness Sutra in the future. It also serves as a warning

How should I deal with other people’s mental demons?

Li Changshou made seven to eight plans in a row. Those were originally prepared for his master and junior sister. He did not expect to use them on his toxic junior sister…

Moreover, his cultivation level was much higher than Youqin Xuanya’s. It was a piece of cake for him to do that. There was no risk at all.

However… I should stabilize myself first. After all, it’s a mental demon. I have to respect him.

There was a saying in the Primordial World:

After the Demon Ancestor, Rahula, died, his demonic thoughts did not die. Therefore, he condensed a Great Dao Demonic Resistance and prevented the Qi Refinement cultivators from cultivating.

Therefore, Li Changshou did not dare to be careless in the face of Youqin Xuanya’s mental demons.

Li Changshou raised his hand and tapped seven times on his chest, using the Seven-Star Demon-Expelling Array to protect his essence soul.

Then, he used his merit to put on underwear, long-sleeved shirts, and boots for his essence soul. He also put on a Christmas hat, a pair of protective glasses, and a mask. He was fully equipped.

Li Changshou still felt that that was not enough. His essence soul held onto the Sea God’s Divine Power Treasure, and a wisp of Heavenly Dao power was added to his body. His essence soul shone with a brilliant golden light!

Set off!

Hence, he released a wisp of his essence soul, which was about one-tenth of the power of his essence soul. He carefully entered Youqin Xuanya’s unguarded sea of consciousness and headed towards her inner demon.

In a daze, the clouds and fog rose.

Li Changshou saw a dark world.

That was the manifestation of Youqin Xuanya’s mind. It was similar to a dream. Youqin Xuanya’s Dao heart was trapped by her mental demons.

The sounds of killing and shouting entered his ears with the wind. The world was filled with black smoke as groups of soldiers fought everywhere. There were immortals fighting in the sky, while mortal soldiers were fighting on the ground. The corpses were piled up like mountains and oozing rivers of blood. Both parties seemed to have fallen into a frenzy. They did not retreat because of the large number of casualties…

Is this her inner demon? That doesn’t seem right.

Li Changshou frowned as he looked at the place. Everything looked lifelike, but there was no aura of a demonic resistance. After some calculations, he realized that those images were just a scene in Youqin Xuanya’s memories.

Youqin Xuanya’s Dao heart was trapped there.

Was it because of the memories regarding the war in the mortal world that had triggered the mental demons?

Li Changshou was not in a hurry. He was just an innocent bystander. He wandered around the battlefield and searched for Youqin Xuanya.

Not long after, Li Changshou discovered Youqin Xuanya’s spiritual will in a corner of the battlefield.

She stood at the edge of a cliff. Her icy-blue dress was dyed red with blood. Behind her, there were two figures leaning against each other. In front of her, there were blurry shadows.

That was naturally the scene that Youqin Xuanya had imagined, and the scene… was very tragic. Aren’t the two people behind Youqin Xuanya, me and Ling’e?

Naturally, they were also the “Senior Brother Changshou” and “Junior Sister Ling’e” that Youqin Xuanya had imagined.

Junior Sister Ling’e is fine. Her dress is neat and tidy, but there are faint bloodstains at the corners of her mouth. There are thousands of wounds on “Senior Brother Changshou’s” body!

No, to be precise, the entire “Senior Brother Changshou” is pieced together from wounds. He barely has a human form and is almost dead…

What the hell?

Can’t you just hope for me to be in a better state?

Li Changshou was speechless. He almost turned around and left.

At the edge of the cliff, the black shadows kept attacking

Youqin Xuanya, who was covered in wounds, raised her sword fingers and continuously activated more than ten flying swords that barely repelled the black shadows’ attack.

At that moment, Youqin Xuanya did not have much immortal power left. She was on the verge of collapsing.

The danger of the mental demons was that Youqin Xuanya did not know that everything was fake.

If her mental projection in this place collapsed, or if she was killed by the mental demon, her mind would be imprisoned there forever.

A lighter consequence would be cultivation deviation, while a terrible consequence would result in her perish!

Among the black shadows, Li Changshou saw Yuan Qing, the “kind man” who had died in the hands of Youqin Xuanya. He saw the fierce Elder Wan Linyun, the old man who guarded the sect, and so on.

The so-called mental demons were nothing more than an obsession in one’s heart. If he wanted to save Youqin Xuanya, Li Changshou only needed to get rid of the demonic-resistance and give her a hand to save her.

However, doing so would make her waste this opportunity Although the mental demons were dangerous, if he defeated them, her Dao heart would become stronger and her Dao realm would improve.

Li Changshou looked at “Senior Brother Changshou”, who was lying in the arms of “Junior Sister Ling’e” and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Tsk, this toxic girl has such a strong desire to protect.

How can I help her obtain this opportunity?

At that moment, Li Changshou had a flash of inspiration and immediately understood how to guide her.

That wisp of consciousness quietly entered “Senior Brother Changshou’s” obsession.

The lips of the deformed “Senior Brother Changshou” trembled slightly. The extremely weak and intermittent voice transmission entered Youqin Xuanya’s ears. “Charge to the 4th… Ahem, I, I’ll retreat to the 6th…

“Junior Sister Youqin… a ferocious beast under the cliff has been alarmed. Later, when I tell you to jump… You’ll bring Ling’e and me behind and jump backwards…”

It could be said that he had gotten immersed in acting out the scene in an instant and his ability to come up with lines was fully displayed!

Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips and nodded secretly. In the intense battle with the inner demon, a wave of fierce attacks suddenly erupted and forced the inner demon in front of her to retreat.

Suddenly, the cliff began to tremble. Li Changshou turned to look at the bottom of the cliff, and he could not help but have his vision turn black.

A Qilin’s head, which was thousands of feet wide, was rushing over from below. Below the cliff, there was a black, poisonous pool!

Youqin Xuanya had subconsciously imagined that situation. The Qilin was the same! Have I been poisoned?

Why did I make things difficult for myself?

Li Changshou felt that if he did not come today, Youqin Xuanya would really use her imagination to kill herself!

Fortunately, Li Changshou quickly found a way out and sent it to Youqin Xuanya. Youqin Xuanya turned around and hugged “Senior Brother Changshou” and “Junior Sister Ling’e”. At the crucial moment, she flew towards the sky…

Below, the huge Black Qilin swallowed the cliff. Countless black shadows and the Qilin dissipated at the same time.

That’s it?

Li Changshou wanted it to be that simple too, but it was obvious that there was a long story behind it.

He watched patiently and realized that the mental demon drama led by Youqin Xuanya was getting more and more exciting.

After breaking free from the cliff, Youqin Xuanya brought “Senior Brother Changshou” and “Junior Sister Ling’e” to a large mortal city. That was the capital of the Youqin Kingdom.

They welcomed the people who were celebrating, singing and dancing, the dukes and ministers who were scheming against each other but had blurry faces, and the king who was sitting on the platform and surrounded by a few enchanting beauties…

That should be Youqin Xuanya’s childhood memories.

Not long after, the scene changed. “Senior Brother Changshou” and “Junior Sister Ling’e” got married in the city and held a lively wedding banquet. Before and after the wedding banquet, Youqin Xuanya had been smiling and giving her blessings. She then watched as “Senior Brother Changshou” and “Junior Sister Ling’e” entered the warm pavilion with the word ‘joy’ on it…

Li Changshou was almost touched by Youqin Xuanya when he saw that.

In Toxic Junior Sister’s subconsciousness, she does not have the intention to own me by force. This is…

The mumbling in Li Changshou’s heart had yet to end when the plot suddenly changed. It could be said that the situation had changed!

“Senior Brother Changshou” suddenly pushed open the door of the warm room and ran to Youqin Xuanya. He made a firm vow to become her Dao companion.

“Junior Sister Ling’e” appeared by the window with a relieved smile. She nodded slightly at Youqin Xuanya, her eyes filled with blessings. Hence, amidst the surrounding applause, Youqin Xuanya and “Senior Brother Changshou” became Dao companions. They left the country and lived happily together. Every day, they would fish, roast fish, and row boats in the rivers, lakes, and seas. They rode the clouds in the sky.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

At that moment, Li Changshou finally understood that Youqin Xuanya’s biggest mental demon was him, Li Changshou.

How should he save her?

If other immortals were to come here, they would probably only be able to forcefully pull her away from such a magical place. However, it was Li Changshou… Let’s take a look at the happy life that Youqin Xuanya had imagined with Senior Brother Changshou.

Every day, they would repeat the monotonous routine of traveling and cultivating together. The two of them did not have any physical contact at all. They were mostly more than a foot apart. Their interaction was pure and tasteful.

Li Changshou did not delay any further. After all, there were still many important matters waiting for him to handle outside. He observed everything and immediately began to tackle the problem.

The method was very simple. He once again focused his attention on “Senior Brother Changshou “. As he accompanied Youqin Xuanya on a scenic tour, he suddenly reached out and hugged Youqin Xuanya. His movements were very skillful, and he extended his “Claws of Anlu Mountain” at Youqin Xuanya… “Junior Sister, there’s no one here and we like each other. Why don’t we just go through the traditional custom?”

Youqin Xuanya was stunned. Then, she broke free and jumped dozens of feet away. She frowned and looked at “Senior Brother Changshou”.

“Senior Brother… what traditional custom?”

Li Changshou smiled evilly. He raised his hand and pulled open the collar of his long robe, exuding an evil aura.

“Junior Sister, hold your tongue. Let me do it.” Youqin Xuanya’s face turned red, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes. Li Changshou took the opportunity to make the three paper effigies speed up their recitation of the Heart-Calming Curse. In the mental demon realm, he tried his best to perform!

“No, you’re not Senior Brother Changshou!”

Youqin Xuanya suddenly regained her senses. She struggled free from Li Changshou’s hands and jumped into the air. She was surrounded by immortal light and emitted rays of golden light!

She shouted firmly, “Senior Brother Changshou is so polite and gentle. He would never do such a rude thing to me! Who are you?”

“Hahahaha!”

“Senior Brother Changshou” laughed loudly. His body began to expand and turned into a ball of sinister black Qi, revealing the main body of the mental demon.

At that point, Li Changshou managed to extricate himself from “Senior Brother Changshou” in time. However, he was still worried and continued to observe.

Youqin Xuanya looked determined and attacked the mental demon decisively. The two of them fought a huge battle. In the end, evil could not triumph over righteousness… When Youqin Xuanya cut off the head of the mental demon, the entire illusion collapsed.

A moment later, in the Cave Abode, Yougin Xuanya slowly opened her eyes. Her beautiful face was flushed red. She was the only one in the Cave Abode.

It was as if she had just gone through a dream. At that moment, she was still blushing because of the happenings in the dream. Her heart was in a mess, and she raised her hand to grab her collar.

“Senior Brother Changshou would not…”

Crack!

She suddenly slapped herself hard and chided softly,

“Youqin Xuanya, why are you so weak? Why do you still have the thought of making Junior Sister Ling’e give in to you!?!” Li Changshou, who was hiding in the mountain wall, was amused when he heard that. Shaking his head, Li Changshou used Earth Escape and left the Heaven-Breaking Peak quietly. He pretended that he had never been there.

This junior sister… has really lived up to her reputation of being toxic.

To summarize, what had defeated her mental demons was not her strong willpower or unyielding willpower, but… the pure shyness of a young girl.

However…

“That’s it?”

Li Changshou cursed in his heart and secretly returned to the Pill Chamber. He hid his main body according to the sixth old rule and began to wait quietly.

Li Changshou was waiting for General Dongmu to go to the Sea God’s Residence in the Heavenly Courts and for the Heavenly Soldiers to take their positions.

He had only spent four hours at Youqin Xuanya’s place. In the Mental Demon realm, time flowed like a dream.

His immortal senses captured Youqin Xuanya talking to herself in her Cave Abode for a while before she entered seclusion again. I should be fine this time, right?

After thinking about it, Li Changshou was still worried. He wrapped a wisp of his immortal senses around her wrist.

That was all he could do.

His immortal senses scanned the sect. The Immortal Du Sect was bustling with activity. Tribulation Transcendences happened occasionally.

They had already decided which disciples of this batch would stay and which ones would be made to leave.

In a few months, the Immortal Du Sect would send a batch of “elites” to the trichiliocosm and the five continents of the Primordial World.

The disciples of the Immortal Du Sect, who had succeeded in learning and were going out to continue cultivating, would spread the news of the opening ceremony of the Immortal Du Sect to the people in the places that they could go to. As a result, more immortal seedlings would be attracted to the Immortal Du Sect.

That was actually the way most immortal sects accepted disciples. There was no choice. The resources in the immortal sect were limited. It was impossible for them to accept disciples endlessly.

If there were a thousand disciples in the same batch, there would only be a small group of disciples that were the most outstanding. They could choose to stay on the mountain or go out to train according to their wishes. The other disciples could only leave the mountain and spread the Dao heritage…

Li Changshou waited for another four days before General Dongmu rode a cloud towards the Sea God Residence. However, he had already deployed 100,000 Heavenly naval troops and was waiting for Li Changshou to take over.

Although 100,000 was not a big number, they were directly controlled by Li Changshou and its significance was extraordinary. When Li Changshou arrived at the Heavenly River with General Dongmu, he saw the handsome young man standing at the edge of the Heavenly River. He could not help but smile.

General Dongmu smiled and said, “Sea God, look. That’s the deputy commander of the Heavenly River Navy, Bian Zhuang. I heard from the Heavenly Courts that Bian Zhuang has a background in Ren School. It’s most suitable for you to command him.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Look, this is the power of rumors.
