Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 640 - 327, Foreign Demon Attacks

"My Father Emperor chose the path of a Commoner Disciple. He showed... a measure of kindness towards my Mom... and was willing to let her step onto the Immortal Path..."

"And what about me..."

The Old Emperor sighed deeply.

On his first day of joining the Immortal Sect, he chose Palace Choosing A Son-in-law, abandoning his Wife, and took the path of the Family Line.

Afterwards, he spent many years without returning to Fengxi Country.

Even the promise to the Crown Prince was not fulfilled.

"Your Majesty, everything is in the past."

Xu Xing fell silent for a moment, then patted the Old Emperor's shoulder to console him.

"Everything is in the past."

The Old Emperor chuckled a few times.

He finished the last sip of Spiritual Wine in his glass, then slumped onto the table case, falling into a deep sleep.

「Time passed with the rising and setting of the sun.」

The next day, the Old Emperor descended from Dao Cliff Peak and left the Immortal Sect, never returning to the Hai Family.

「There are no years in Cultivation.」

It wasn't until the twenty-third year, while Xu Xing was on a mission down the mountain, that he accidentally discovered the Old Emperor's remains buried on the shore of the South Sea.

Is this Heart Devil Tribulation meant to resolve my emotional knots, or... does it have another purpose?

Xu Xing rubbed his chin. After stepping onto the Immortal Journey, he had always felt a certain sense of guilt towards Zhao Yunniang and her son. Although this guilt wasn't substantial, over time, it had formed into emotional knots.

This illusion must be broken.

A cold light flashed in Xu Xing's eyes. After being trapped in the illusion for decades, his memories of being 'Xu Xing' had gradually faded, replaced by the persona of Fan Xia. However, he possessed a Free and Unrestrained State of Mind. Although trapped within, he could still see through the haze of mortal life and find his true self.

Xu Xing stood on the shore of the South Sea, closing his eyes, re-experiencing his Great Unrestrained Realm.

Spiritual Energy swirled around his body. Monstrous waves from the South Sea slammed against him, yet he stood firm and still, like a huge rock. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

A few breaths later, the huge wave subsided, and the South Sea disappeared. Countless living beings vanished like smoke. The illusion before him began to shatter, frame by frame, revealing the reality behind.

「One quarter of an hour later.」

Xu Xing returned to the White Cloud Gate Cave.

This Heart Devil Tribulation is finally over.

Without this Free and Unrestrained State of Mind, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to awaken from the Heart Devil Illusion...

Xu Xing opened his eyes, his face etched with weariness.

At first, he had been willing to become Fan Xia and follow Xu Zhang into the Flying Feather Immortal Palace. However, this was not his own intention but the influence of the Heart Devil Tribulation. The Heart Devil Tribulation had invisibly affected his every judgment. Entering Xu Zhang's life, seeing himself as this Father Emperor from Xu Zhang's perspective, seemingly helped him dissolve his emotional knots, but in reality, that was not the case...

After becoming an immortal, by paying a certain price, I can revive those I once knew. If I have the chance...

Xu Xing gently rubbed the Six Harmonies Jade Cicada in his palm.

At first, when he met Zhao Yunniang, he didn't have much affection for this woman from the Brothel. She was also a spy for Han Sui, and he had been wary of her. However, Time can change everything. Zhao Yunniang's constant companionship eventually touched his true emotions.

Xu Xing lowered his head and hung the Six Harmonies Jade Cicada back around his neck, hiding it within his robes.

But just as he lowered his head, an illusion reappeared before his eyes. This time, it was the Xu Family Ancestral Home, Zhao Yunniang's burial place.

"Husband, Yunniang does not want to be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum. I only wish to rest here, waiting for you to find me..."

An elderly woman wearing a Phoenix Hairpin, accompanied by a female attendant, stood before an unmarked tombstone, her eyes filled with reminiscence.

"Still trying to use this illusion to confuse me, Foreign Demon? Are these paltry tricks all you've got?"

At this moment, Xu Xing sneered. A purple light flashed in his eyes, and he summoned a few clusters of black flames, directing them towards the elderly woman.

The black flames pounced on the elderly woman and instantly began to burn.

However, unlike previous times, this Yin Fire didn't immediately succeed in incinerating the elderly woman to ashes.

"Husband, how ruthless your heart is!

"You abandoned this Concubine and Zhang'er, going alone to the Immortal Sect to seek immortality...

"This Concubine hates you so much!"

In the black flames, the elderly woman's flesh gradually disappeared, leaving only a black skeleton. Staring at Xu Xing, it shrieked with resentment.

This Yin Fire Principle is actually ineffective against a Foreign Demon? It seems... I'll have to use the Tide Feather Sword...

Seeing this, Xu Xing's brows furrowed slightly.

The reason he had feigned being moved by the scene earlier was precisely to lure out the Foreign Demon that had triggered this Heart Devil Tribulation.

Generally speaking, most Cultivators undergoing a Heart Devil Tribulation wouldn't have a Foreign Demon appear in person, because it also required Foreign Demons to expend their Origin Energy to cross realms. However, he was an exception. As an Immortal Body Cultivator, his vital energy was abundant, and his foundation was extraordinarily robust. Furthermore, his entire being was composed of Innate-grade spiritual roots that had undergone a reverse transformation. It would be somewhat abnormal if such a constitution didn't attract the covetous attention of Foreign Demons.

This time, I'll make sure you never leave...

Xu Xing snorted coldly. With a flip of his palm, a feather-shaped Immortal Sword appeared in his hand.

The Tide Feather Sword is a Half-Immortal Artifact, sufficient to combat peculiar species like Foreign Demons.

There were also some records about Foreign Demons in the Ancient Books of the Cultivation World. These records stated that although this peculiar species possessed the ability to trigger Heart Devil Tribulations and cross realms, their actual strength wasn't considered formidable. The true difficulty lay in how to injure these intangible and insubstantial Sky Demons.

"Go!"

Xu Xing uttered a soft command.

As his words fell, the blade of the Tide Feather Sword instantly erupted into raging flames. This was the Sun True Fire, manifested through his Great Sun Dao Principle.

Sun True Fire is the epitome of hardness and yang energy. Coupled with the Tide Feather Sword, a Half-Immortal Artifact, it is enough to pose a lethal threat to Foreign Demons.

Then, a golden light flashed within the Cultivation Room. The elderly woman before Xu Xing instantly changed, transforming into a swirling mass of ethereal black gas.
