"Come out."
Upon hearing this voice, Shen Chongxu’s face showed a hint of delight, and he swiftly dashed out of the tower.
"Third Uncle."
Facing Shen Wen’an, Shen Chongxu respectfully saluted.
"This isn’t the place to talk, we must leave here immediately."
The activation of the Glazed Hidden Mechanism Compassion Light Tower surely alerted Hong Jing and the others battling above, he must quickly escort Shen Chongxu out of Jianan Temple.
Grabbing his shoulder, Shen Wen’an immediately transformed into a Sword Aura and flew towards the distant sky.
On the other side of the void.
"Not good, someone has intruded into Jianan Temple!"
"That little beast from the Shen Family has been rescued!"
Catching a glimpse of a sword light fleeing into the distance, Hong Jing’s expression immediately changed drastically.
On the opposite side, Hong Ye who was completely suppressed by him also noticed the activation of the Glazed Hidden Mechanism Compassion Light Tower, and instantly shook off the Zen Staff pressing down on him, roaring in anger!
"My Nine-leaf Bodhi!"
"My opportunity!"
"Damn it! You all deserve to die!"
Carrying intense Demonic Qi descending from the void, he looked at the already withered Nine-leaf Bodhi, and Hong Ye was instantly so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
In the Southern Border, on a hidden peak near Yangquan Mountain, Shen Chongxu sat cross-legged, his body trembling, expression somewhat grim.
Shen Wen’an cut off the roots of the Nine-leaf Bodhi, rescuing him from the Glazed Hidden Mechanism Compassion Light Tower.
But in essence, it was also equivalent to saving the Outer Celestial Demon residing in his Sea of Consciousness.
With the balance lost from the Nine-leaf Bodhi, the Outer Celestial Demon could finally spare a hand to contend with Shen Chongxu for the final victory.
If it were to succeed, it could devour Shen Chongxu’s Divine Spirit and return to its own lair.
However, if defeated, it would be nothing but nourishment for Shen Chongxu.
From the beginning, the Outer Celestial Demon never considered the weak Shen Chongxu as a threat.
Upon its arrival, it sensed that this Human Race cultivator had forcibly elevated his Cultivation through some Demon Cultivation method.
Defects in his mental state were numerous, and there were miscellaneous resentments within his body that could be exploited.
The Outer Celestial Demon believed that crushing his Dao Heart, rendering him utterly fallen, and obediently devoured would be a mere trivial matter.
But now...
In Shen Chongxu’s Sea of Consciousness, the Outer Celestial Demon morphed into various forms, and with the Innate Divine Power of the Celestial Demon, it attempted to lure Shen Chongxu’s deep-seated desires.
Yet ultimately, none of this succeeded.
The root of the problem was that the majority of its power had been absorbed by the Nine-leaf Bodhi.
Conversely, Shen Chongxu, with the help of the Nine-leaf Bodhi, resolved most of his internal hazards, and even utilized the Cultivation Technique from Jianan Temple to greatly enhance his mental state.
With the waning of one and the waxing of the other, the Outer Celestial Demon suddenly realized it could no longer handle the Human Race cultivator it once dismissed.
"As you see, I am a Demon Cultivator."
"Summoning you here with the Ancient [Demon’s Arrival] Secret Skill was a last resort."
"Strictly speaking, you’ve saved my life once, and I don’t really wish to kill you, or devour your Origin Demon Qi."
Shen Chongxu’s Divine Spirit stood atop the Spirit Platform, looking at the elusive black mist ahead.
During their confrontation, this Outer Celestial Demon had transformed into his parents, brothers, and sisters, using various words to seduce him.
But ultimately, due to its damaged strength, it was uncovered.
"You wish to spare this king?"
An indistinct, raspy voice emerged from within the black mist.
Shen Chongxu nodded.
"Continuing this stalemate, facing your methods, is merely self-inflicted torment."
"Even if I eventually win, the long and painful process in between makes me dread the thought."
He spoke the truth.
The creator of the [Demon’s Arrival] Secret Skill intended to refine the heart using the Outer Celestial Demon, but the dangers and pain involved are not something ordinary people can endure.
Shen Chongxu had just experienced it and did not wish to spend a prolonged period in the future immersed in such agony.
Although this Celestial Demon had been greatly troubled by the Nine-leaf Bodhi, having much of its power sucked away.
But it’s not that simple to completely refine it.
"As the caster of [Demon’s Arrival], you will pay a significant price to undo it."
"Have you thought it through?"
The Outer Celestial Demon pondered for a moment before suddenly speaking.
Being a Celestial Demon, cunning and suspicious by nature, it didn’t believe Shen Chongxu would willingly pay the cost of his lifespan to forcefully dissolve [Demon’s Arrival] and let it leave.
Moreover, the Origin Demon Qi of the Celestial Demon Race is extremely alluring to these beings containing Divine Spirit.
This Outer Celestial Demon felt Shen Chongxu was surely trying to deceive it.
To make it relax its vigilance, so as to strike at an opportune moment.
Shen Chongxu’s Divine Spirit shook his head and said, "If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do."
"Later, I will find a way to dissolve the [Demon’s Arrival] Secret Skill, and if you don’t leave then, don’t blame me."
The Outer Celestial Demon didn’t speak, seemingly contemplating something.
Seeing this, Shen Chongxu waved his hand, using the Power of the Divine Soul to set a barrier in the Sea of Consciousness, completely trapping it, preventing it from absorbing his negative emotions and the unclean forces of the world to restore its strength.
It was also to guard against it attacking him.
After completing all this, he let his consciousness return to his body.
"Third Uncle."
When Shen Chongxu opened his eyes, he saw Third Uncle Shen Wen’an sitting beside him, cross-legged, acting as his Guardian.
"How is it, has everything been resolved?"
Shen Chongxu nodded: "That Outer Celestial Demon is indeed unfortunate, restrained by Jianan Temple’s Nine-leaf Bodhi, its power nearly entirely absorbed."
"Otherwise, your nephew would have truly struggled to deal with it."
