Chapter 2299
Chapter 2299
After they finished speaking, the thirteen True Immortal Elders exchanged glances, nodded solemnly in unison, and then raised their hands to make a Heavenly Oath to the heavens—the oath contained nothing but the promise to "never reveal Chen Xuan's tribulation."
They knew that Chen Xuan's extraordinary abilities were enough to attract covetousness from both inside and outside the realm, and that protecting this secret meant protecting the future of the Heartless Holy Land.
Jue Wuqing watched the elders' actions, nodded slightly, then turned his gaze back to Chen Xuan, muttering to himself:
"The Great Tribulation of Inner Demons... the Great Tribulation of Love, the beginning of inner demons, the two are closely linked. How much has the obsession with the deaths of your four Daoist companions affected your Dao heart?"
He knew clearly that the inner demon tribulation was to amplify all the regrets, resentments, and obsessions of a cultivator on their path to immortality by several times or even a hundred times, and to create a perfect illusory world in the sea of consciousness.
Once one falls into its clutches, one will perish and never be able to escape its clutches.
At this moment, although Chen Xuan had just sat down cross-legged in the void, his state of mind in his sea of consciousness had already fallen into the world of inner demons, experiencing a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation.
Biluo, Zimo, Tianxing, Lin Yuyao, Zhanxin... all those who were his benefactors, his Daoist partners, or those with deep karmic connections with him appeared in this world.
The beginning of the inner demon world was the point of his greatest regret—this time, when Biluo helped him relocate the people of Longxia, there were no accidents; all the Longxia people who were scattered due to the relocation gathered in Zelinhai and were safe and sound; his disciples Jiang Linglong, Shi Hao and others were also by his side, and none of them perished.
Later, he left Qushan with his Daoist companions Biluo and Baili and successfully became an apprentice. Later still, he met Qingtian Yu'er, Zhanxin, Zimo, and Tianxing. With his own strength, he won first place in the first Immortal Destiny Grand Gathering and successfully helped Xuanxiao Mo regain control of the stars.
During his journey through the outer void, he encountered Lin Yuyao, Qiu Zixian, Xia Jiuyou... all his friends from the real world gathered around him.
This coexistence has lasted for tens of thousands of years.
In order to completely corrupt his Dao heart, the inner demon deliberately erased the catastrophe of the civilization invasion and caused his true body to fail in his tribulation, leaving only his primordial spirit body—without the pressure of rising against the heavens, without the pain of life and death, only peace and fulfillment.
Zi Mo, Zhan Xin, Lin Yu Yao... all those who died and perished in the real world successfully survived the heavenly tribulation and stayed with him. The family was happy and harmonious, with children and disciples adoring them, and the clan living in peace and prosperity.
I don't know how long this went on.
Initially, Chen Xuan was able to barely control his emotions, deliberately ignoring his Daoist partners in the world of inner demons, constantly reminding himself that this was an illusion.
But as tens of thousands, millions, and hundreds of thousands of years passed, the daily fulfillment and warmth eventually began to erode his Dao heart.
His memories of the real world became increasingly blurred, and his Dao heart gradually showed signs of fluctuation.
Finally, just as he subconsciously tried to break free from this world, something unexpected happened—
In the world of inner demons, Xueqi, Piaoxue, Zimo, Tianxing, and several other Daoist partners, along with more than a dozen children who looked like golden boys and jade girls, stood in front of him with red eyes, tears streaming down their cheeks, pleading with him in choked voices.
"My husband, we have been together for seven million years, are you still not satisfied?" Zi Mo, who looked like a young woman, looked at him with teary eyes, her eyes full of grievance and reluctance.
"Husband, where are you going? Don't you want us, our child, or this family anymore?" Lin Yuyao clutched his sleeve tightly, her fingertips icy cold, her voice trembling.
The other Daoist companions also spoke up, their words filled with pleading; a dozen or so children rushed forward, clinging tightly to his legs and clutching his clothes, their large eyes brimming with tears, crying out, "Daddy, don't go! Daddy!"
Seven million years of living together day and night, every bit of warmth and fulfillment, have long been etched into our bones.
Chen Xuan's heart wasn't made of stone. Looking at his wife, daughter, and child crying in front of him, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer, and they streamed down his cheeks.
He looked up at the endless void of the inner demon world, his voice choked and hoarse as he murmured, "How I wish I could stay by your side forever... How I wish it were all real..."
