Chapter 2277
Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine from that look, his heart filled with anxiety, yet he knew he was powerless to do anything about it.
The tribulation of inner demons is a tribulation within a cultivator's heart. During this time, apart from fluctuations in aura, there are almost no outward manifestations. Once the tribulation is failed, what remains in the outside world are only two soulless corpses.
Time flew by in the dull and oppressive atmosphere.
Ten days, twenty days... Qiu Zixian and Xia Jiuyou's auras remained stable, which reassured everyone.
But when the thirty-seventh day arrived, a sudden change occurred! The two of them suddenly weakened, and their originally fair skin gradually turned dark yellow and orange, losing its former luster, and their vitality was rapidly fading away.
"Not good!" Upon seeing this, the Immortal King Youyue's eyes twitched violently, and his face turned extremely ugly.
"Their aura suddenly weakened; they must have encountered a desperate situation in the world of inner demons!" Jue Wuqing's face also darkened. "If they can't break free, I'm afraid..."
"What should we do then?" Chen Xuan could no longer contain himself and looked anxiously at Jue Wuqing, his eyes full of pleading.
"We can only wait." Jue Wuqing slowly shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness. "The tribulation of inner demons must be overcome by oneself; external intervention will often backfire."
Qing Tianyu'er, Lu Xueqi, and Piaoxue also had solemn expressions. Looking at Qiu Zixian and Xia Jiuyou's increasingly weak appearance, they were helpless and extremely anxious.
Another ten days passed, and the two of them were like leaky buckets, their strength steadily waning.
At this moment, Qiu Zixian and Xia Jiuyou's skin was covered with wrinkles, and their once jet-black and shiny hair had become dry and gray, as if they had lost all their vitality in an instant. The sense of despair from the loss of life was so real that it was heart-wrenching.
"What should we do? What should we do?" Chen Xuan looked at the three Immortal Kings again and again, but all he got was silence and a shake of the head.
"Little Tower! Little Tower!" Chen Xuan cried out frantically in his heart.
"Are you crazy? This is their inner demon tribulation; anyone who interferes will surely die!" Xiaota's voice was stern. "Are you out of your mind?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Just tell me if there's any way to help them!" Chen Xuan was extremely anxious, his voice almost shouting.
"Chen Xuan, even if you want to die, you should at least find me another host first, right?" Little Tower snapped impatiently.
"Stop arguing! Speak up!" Chen Xuan roared inwardly.
"Alright!" The little tower finally gave in. "You should immediately follow Xia Jiuyou's example and invade Qiu Zixian's soul with your consciousness to establish a mental connection with them. Qiu Zixian is your Daoist partner, and she will never reject your intrusion deep down."
Xiao Ta said, “But let me be clear, once your karma is added to the inner demons of the two of you, the consequences will be unimaginable—perhaps the three of you can successfully overcome the tribulation together, or perhaps... you will all die and perish.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan did not hesitate for a moment and immediately severed his connection with the small tower. With a determined look in his eyes, he strode toward Qiu Zixian and Xia Jiuyou, whose auras were growing increasingly weak.
"What are you doing?!" Jue Wuqing noticed his actions and immediately rebuked him with her divine sense. "There's no other way! If there's even a glimmer of hope, they will naturally seize the opportunity to turn the tide!"
"Young friend Chen Xuan, this matter is of utmost importance, you must not act rashly!" The Holy Lord of Radiance hurriedly dissuaded him—he absolutely did not want Chen Xuan to get into trouble at this juncture, otherwise it would inevitably affect Lu Xueqi's Dao heart.
"Sigh..." The Immortal King Youyue looked at Chen Xuan's resolute back and stretched out his cane to stop him, but in the end he withdrew his hand and transmitted his voice, "Go back, don't die in vain."
Chen Xuan didn't turn around, but said in a low voice, "I have a way, perhaps we can give it a try."
Before the three Immortal Kings and their Daoist partners could react, he swayed and sat cross-legged between Xia Jiuyou and Qiu Zixian. A wisp of pure divine thought flowed from between his brows, like a gentle stream, slowly invading Qiu Zixian's sea of consciousness.
"No!" Jue Wuqing's eyes widened, filled with shock and frustration.
"He's gone mad! This kid is absolutely insane!" The Holy Lord of Yaoguang was also shocked and furious, but there was nothing he could do.
"Alas, why are you like this?" Immortal King Youyue stood there for a moment, his resentment towards Chen Xuan completely dissipated, replaced by a trace of regret. "If you die, my Yanlong Realm will lose a great arm in resisting the border war."
Now that things have come to this, even if Jue Wuqing is furious, he can only suppress it by force—Chen Xuan has already intervened in Qiu Zixian and Xia Jiuyou's inner demon world, and any disturbance at this moment could lead to the simultaneous demise of all three of them.
"At most thirteen days." Jue Wuqing slowly closed his eyes, his tone heavy. "If they cannot awaken within thirteen days, they will become soulless corpses, beyond any hope of recovery."
He sighed inwardly: Man proposes, God disposes.
Originally, Chen Xuan, as someone blessed by the fortune of the Heartless Holy Land, was confident about his tribulation, but he never expected things to turn out this way, which caught him completely off guard.
"Heaven is merciless, setting obstacles at every turn." Jue Wuqing opened his eyes, gazing at the gradually darkening clouds in the sky.
"Even if we try every means to pave the way for you, Heaven will eventually find a way to stop your success. I just never expected it to be in this way."
