I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Chapter 115 Broken Mirror

Xuantian Sword Sect, somewhere on a mountain.

Dark clouds covered the sun and the wind howled in the mountains.

The trees shook violently, and the branches that could not withstand the wind were suddenly broken by the wind. A pure spiritual energy surged in madly, crushing the broken branches into pieces.

Ling Yebai stood in the woods and casually threw the Chengtian Pagoda given to him by his master. The Chengtian Pagoda then hung above his head and spun at a high speed.

It emits pure and soft light in the dazzling electric light.

Ling Yebai has been practicing here these days.

This place is not far from the main mountain range of Xuantian Sword Sect, and is not even out of the range protected by the Mountain Suppression Bell.

The mountain here is relatively short and inconspicuous in the entire Xuantian Sword Sect. Ling Yebai was annoyed by those female cultivators and had to hide here.

After practicing here, he found this place very good.

It is extremely quiet and has abundant spiritual energy.

Ling Yebai then began to practice here with peace of mind.

The Qianji Sect has emerged as a new force in recent days and has attracted a lot of attention. As a result, less attention has been paid to him, and Ling Yebai feels lost.

Yes, he was proud by nature and didn't even want anyone to see him feeling lost.

This is also one of the reasons why he stays away from people.

Practicing in this mountain forest allowed him to calm down and reflect on himself.

But countless scenes of introspection are of Gu Lan.

Ling Yebai was silent...

In countless moments of frustration, he wanted to swing his sword to chop Gu Lan's face into pieces, but he felt that Gu Lan's figure was like a poison in his tarsal bones, and he could not completely drive it away.

He recalled the night when Gu Lan came with a basket to pick herbs. When her bright eyes looked at him, he felt a momentary excitement, but he suppressed it deeply.

Ling Yebai was conflicted. On the one hand, he looked down on Gu Lan, but on the other hand, his heart involuntarily moved closer to her. He began to look at her and pay attention to her.

Those images hidden in his consciousness were like gorgeous fireworks, and Gu Lan's figure was deeply hidden in each burst of bright light.

Her angry expression, her happy laughter, or her solemn posture were all inadvertently engraved in Ling Yebai's calm observation.

This also made Ling Yebai very confused.

It was obvious that he didn't like her, and he even hated her a little.

But why can't she be erased from my mind?

But today, he suddenly came to his senses.

He, Ling Yebai, the direct disciple of Xuantian Sword Sect, a rising star looked up to by many people, is not a timid coward!

If a person won't leave you no matter how hard you try, why not open your heart to her and express your feelings?

If you want Gu Lan to be your lifelong Taoist partner, just say it. Why torture her like this?

Given his excellence, I'm sure Gu Lan would not refuse.

After figuring this out, Ling Yebai felt his heart beating like a drum, and then his whole body began to tremble. The violently surging spiritual energy gathered into a vortex and madly squeezed into his dantian. At that moment, he actually broke through.

The cultivator's breakthrough is very mysterious.

Some people find it difficult to break through a realm in a hundred years, while some people are born with a destiny to become immortals and can break through again and again without any pain, which is really enviable.

The lightning broke through the clouds and rushed straight towards Ling Yebai. The Chengtian Pagoda spun rapidly, and in a moment it became as big as a bucket, and it managed to absorb most of the power of the lightning. Ling Yebai also avoided the danger of burning his muscles and bones, and successfully broke through to the out-of-body stage.

On the other side, Lingyao gradually calmed down from her ecstasy.

When the situation changed drastically, she thought she was going to break through to the Golden Core Stage, but unexpectedly, the thunderbolt passed directly over her head and flew straight to another hill.

Who is this deity?

He actually snatched away her thunder tribulation!

Lingyao was so angry that she drew out the golden sword from her waist and vented her anger on the giant trees in the mountains.

The demon lord laughed twice.

"Why get angry? You can break through without enduring the thunder tribulation, so why envy others?"

Lingyao stopped when she heard this. She breathed slightly and looked at the thunder and lightning in the distance with resentment. If she were to meet that person, she would definitely tear him into pieces!

Then he looked hesitantly at the shadow sitting on the stone.

From the shadow, one can make out the outline of a person, but with two wings on its back, drooping down, and a tail swaying behind.

Lingyao looked up and down at the shadow and saw that the other person was looking into the distance with his chin in his hand.

Hearing that his voice was that of a man, Lingyao treated him as a man, observing all the necessary etiquette, and did not allow the shadow transformed by the Demon Lord to overstep the boundaries with her.

In recent days, the two sides have been getting along more and more harmoniously.

"Are you serious?" Although she was reluctant, Lingyao was unwilling to give up the opportunity to break through. After all, she was already accustomed to the cultivation methods of cultivators. There were still doubts about using the method provided by this Demon Lord. Lingyao was also unwilling to completely believe this Demon Lord.

"Hmph." The Demon Lord looked at the crackling lightning in the distance with disdain.

"There are many ways to cultivate in the world, and it is definitely not just a method for you cultivators. Think about it, the way of cultivation of the Demon Sect is different, and there is no need to go through any thunder tribulations or fire tribulations. It's just that you cultivators are so stubborn. Do you think you can only achieve the Great Dao after going through thunder tribulations?"

When Lingyao heard him say this, she knew that he did not understand the ways of Demon Sect's cultivation, so she explained.

“Although the Demon Sect can break through the realm without going through the thunder tribulation or the fire tribulation you mentioned, no one in the Demon Sect can cultivate to the fusion stage, let alone the tribulation stage, so it is impossible for them to ascend.

“In addition, their cultivation is mostly unorthodox, and it is not easy to practice. In the later stages, most of them will go astray and become the most despised human-demons. Becoming a human-demon is not the worst. In the end, human-demons will lose consciousness and become puppets.

"As you just said, not having to go through the tribulation is good, but becoming a puppet? Who is willing to do that?"

Lingyao finally looked at the phantom with a questioning look, "Are you demons willing?"

That phantom was the Demon Lord Xiangliu.

His original body was destroyed, and now he can only live in Lingyao's jade pendant. If he wants to rebuild his body, he must take over another body.

However, the cultivation level of the female cultivator in front of him was still too low, and she was not a suitable candidate for the time being. Xiangliu waited patiently for her to grow.

From what Lingyao said, the cultivation method of those people in the Demon Sect must be another one. I just wonder if they would destroy their own future in order to achieve a breakthrough in their realm?

Xiangliu and Lingyao knew very little about the people of the Demon Sect. Lingyao only knew the contents of the sect's booklet. As for the truth, how much could someone who was not from the Demon Sect know?

Xiangliu thought of those demon cultivators in the Demon Realm who had degenerated into human-demons. In the end, they indeed became puppets as Lingyao said, being controlled by others. They were no better than ants and extremely pitiful.

Thinking of this, I can understand why Lingyao doesn't want to learn the Demon Sect's cultivation method.

Which cultivator would want to end up as a mindless puppet?

Realizing that he was being rude, Xiangliu changed his sitting position and coughed.

It is not so easy to seduce Lingyao. Both parties must trust each other. Xiangliu does not want to anger her at this time.

Then he continued speaking according to Lingyao's words.

"The cultivation of our demon clan is naturally different from that of the people of the Demon Sect." The Demon Lord explained, "Our demon clan naturally has a better method. We don't have to go through tribulations, and we won't become puppets."

After hearing this, Lingyao smiled softly.

The demon clan's cultivation method is indeed twice the result with half the effort. She has made rapid progress in the past few days. If nothing unexpected happened, she should have been able to break through today.

But for some reason, the breakthrough that I had anticipated did not come.
