Chapter 1668: The Demon in the Heart

A grand illusion.

Seeing that the scene in front of him began to distort, Lu Li did not panic.

He had expected this.

Then he took out a formation talisman and held it in his hand.

When the formation talisman was activated, the scene in front of him changed again, and a towering volcano appeared.

This is a real scene that cannot be seen outside, and can only be manifested after possessing the formation talisman or breaking the illusory formation.

There is a concave valley on the top of the volcano, which is filled with red magma and filled with a strong atmosphere of the fire attribute. It is the destination of Lu Li's trip.

The fire attribute is different from that of water and wood. In addition to facing the oppression of the avenue, it also has to resist high temperature and burning.

Although Lu Li's cultivation level was not low and his body was not afraid of such high temperatures, the clothes on his body were somewhat unbearable, so he could only sit down in a cross-legged position far away from the lava in the valley.

There was no sun or moon in the mountains. As soon as Lu Li sat down, another two hundred and thirty years had passed.

On this day, he finally raised the fire element Dao Ya to the peak bottleneck stage, and successfully created a fire element magical power 'Burning Sky Fire Cloud', and then left the Burning Sky Mountains with satisfaction.

At this point, Lu Li had learned all about the four middle-grade treasures in the Western District.

Two years later, Lu Li arrived at Black Mountain Lake in the North District, found Ning Wuzhou's earth attribute treasure land, and began to sprint for the last Dao Bud among the Five Elements.

This is all thanks to Ning Wuzhou and Yu Wenshu. If they hadn't provided so many cultivation resources, Lu Li would have spent a lot more time if he wanted to advance normally to where he is now.

In this way, more than two hundred years have passed.

At that time, Lu Li was 4,254 years old. He finally raised all the Five Elements Dao Buds to the peak bottleneck level, and was only one step away from entering the tribulation stage.

At this time, more than 1,400 years had passed since the moment he left the Immortal City.

Lu Li was determined to improve the Light and Dark Dao Ya before returning to the city.

But thinking that Ning Wuzhou's time seemed to be running out, feeling guilty, he stopped staying outside and embarked on the return journey.

Ning Wuzhou is now more than 46,000 years old. If there are no accidents, it will only take three to four thousand years for his destiny to be exhausted.

These days, he is very anxious and helpless.

Every few days, he would go to Lingyun Mountain and Xuanyu Mountain, but unfortunately, both Lu Li and Yu Wenshu disappeared as if they had disappeared from the world.

In fact, Yu Wenwen had returned a few days ago, but he just pretended not to see Ning Wuzhou's message.

Today, Yu Wenwen was sitting on a wicker chair as usual, looking worried. Suddenly, the Shanhe Ling in his arms rang again. He sighed softly and took it out.

However, after sensing it for a while, he looked happy: "I'm back."

Then he activated the Mountain and River Order to open a hole in the formation. A moment later, a tall and handsome man in white flew over and landed in front of Yuwen.

"Boss, you are finally back."

Seeing the visitor, Yuwen Wen immediately walked up to say hello with a smile.

"What's wrong? Are you waiting for me?" Lu Li said slightly surprised.

"Yes, that guy Ning Wuzhou comes here every two days. If you don't come back, I have no choice but to let him in." Yu Wenwen said as he walked towards the pavilion.

"Brother Ning? You... blocked him out?" Lu Li followed, a little surprised.

"I can't help it. He came to me just to find out about you."

"Letting him in will only give him a disappointing result. It's better to shut him out. Although you are anxious, you won't be disappointed."

Yu Wenwen shook his head and poured Lu Li a cup of creation tea.

"Disappointing result?"

Lu Li frowned, "Didn't you say there was a way? Could it be that you..."

"Boss, don't worry. I have a solution, but I just don't want to say it out of my mouth. I've been waiting for you to come back these days, just because I want you to tell him the solution." Upon seeing this, Yuwen hurriedly explained.

"You guy, can't you just tell him yourself? Why do you have to borrow my words?" After hearing Yuwen Wen's words, Lu Li couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, don't you want him to owe you a favor, boss?" Yu Wenwen said with a sarcastic smile.

"A favor? What's the use? He doesn't have much life left. If he delays for a little longer, let alone overcoming the tribulation, he might not even be able to pass the peak level." Lu Li rolled his eyes at Yuwen Wen and said.

"Boss, you are looking down on him too much. Let me tell you, that guy is awesome."

"Having understood the rules of time, the first two levels of overcoming the tribulation are nothing to him. As for the Mahayana bottleneck, let alone that. He has been at the peak for so many years. As soon as Dao Ya is separated, it is easy to break the shackles. ..."

Yu Wenwen said with some emotion, then took out an ancient animal skin book and handed it to Lu Li:

"Now, boss, this is the method of opening and closing the Dao buds. It's called the 'Dao Yan Jue'. Once you are fully proficient, you can easily complete the opening and closing of the Dao buds with just a thought."

Lu Li was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly took the Dao Yan Jue and read it.

Dao Yan Jue is similar to normal exercises. It involves magic formulas, formulas and luck routes, which seems very complicated.

In the early stage, it requires the coordination of formulas, techniques, and movement routes before it can be used.

However, once you are fully proficient, you can combine the spells and formulas into one and condense them into a seal, which can be engraved in your mind, and then you can do it with just one thought.

After roughly reading the Dao Yan Jue, Lu Li put it away. Then he asked: "How far has your cultivation reached now? Are you ready to start overcoming the tribulation?"

"My cultivation is almost complete, and I can start to overcome the tribulation at any time."

"It's just that once the tribulation begins, it cannot be interrupted."

"Isn't that right? The period of relief that happens once every three thousand years is coming soon. I'm going to go out for a trip. After sorting out some causes and effects, I'll come back and meditate to overcome the tribulation."

Yuwen looked at the forest path outside and said in a daze.

"Resolved cause and effect?"

Lu Li looked at Yu Wenshu in surprise.

"Well, try your best not to have any regrets in your heart. Otherwise, you will most likely be disturbed by your inner demons during the tribulation, which will greatly reduce the success rate of the tribulation." Yu Wenwen nodded.

Having said this, Yu Wenwen seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, boss, I forgot to tell you last time that this tribulation is different from the 39 and 69 heavenly tribulations."

"There is no specific heart tribulation this time."

"However, the inner demon may appear at any time and interfere with the normal journey through the tribulation."

"So, if you have any worries or regrets in your heart, try to make up for it as much as possible, otherwise it may be more troublesome when you go through the tribulation."

Concern and regret?

Lu Li couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "I understand, I will take some time to go out for a walk."

Speaking of which, he really has a lot of worries and regrets in his heart. It's just that he has been thinking about improving his cultivation these past years and suppressed these distracting thoughts in his heart.

It seems that it is time to go out.

Otherwise, no matter whether the tribulation is successful or not, some people in this life may be separated forever.
