Chapter 357: Trapped in the Inner Demon
Wei Yunqing was able to condense her Nascent Soul so quickly thanks to the help of True Monarch Yunze.

When Yun Qing sought help from the Buddhist monk Yun Chen, it was Yun Ze who ultimately helped Yun Qing expel the evil spirit sealed in her sea of ​​consciousness.

As the evil spirit was crushed by the Buddha's light, it roared hysterically:
"Wei Yunqing! You are consumed by jealousy, narrow-minded, and your resolve is wavering. You are best suited for the evil path. I await the day you fall into evil! Hahahaha!"

Wei Yunqing's face contorted with rage as she angrily rebuked:
"Hmph! You evil spirit, don't try to disturb my Dao heart! I'm just competitive, I would never do anything against my Dao heart! And you'll never live to see that day!"

Although Wei Yunqing spoke toughly, she was actually a little guilty inside. She was almost able to reach a deal with the evil spirit, but in the end, it was the spirit of the crimson bracelet that brought her back to her senses and prevented a disaster.

Now, with Yunze's help, the evil spirit sealed in her sea of ​​consciousness has been completely expelled. When the Buddha's light shines on Wei Yunqing's sea of ​​consciousness, she feels very comfortable and lets out a soft breath.

True Monarch Yunze's Buddhist heart was steadfast, and he did not attempt to probe Wei Yunqing's sea of ​​consciousness. Therefore, after the evil spirit dissipated, he quickly withdrew his Buddhist supernatural powers and exited Wei Yunqing's sea of ​​consciousness.

So neither of them noticed that a gray wisp of energy, thinner than a hair, had slipped into the deeper part of Wei Yunqing's sea of ​​consciousness and silently concealed itself.

Afterwards, Wei Yunqing took the opportunity to go into seclusion at Yunmen Temple, and she actually managed to transform all her gains into cultivation, breaking through the barrier of the Nascent Soul stage and attracting a tribulation lightning.

Although somewhat surprised, Wei Yunqing remained calm. She took out the array plate, pills, and magic treasures she had prepared beforehand and placed them beside her. Then, she closed her eyes, concentrated, and began to circulate the "Water and Wood Mutual Generation Technique," frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

The first wave of nine lightning bolts fell without interruption, tearing holes in Wei Yunqing's robes and charring her skin. She immediately swallowed the pill she was holding in her mouth and began to repair the injuries caused by the lightning with the help of the pill's power.

Wei Yunqing struggled even more to cope with the second wave of lightning tribulation. She lost count of how many magical treasures she had thrown out. In the end, she even had to activate an array to resist the lightning tribulation in order to barely survive the second wave of nine lightning strikes.

As the tribulation clouds brewed the third wave of tribulation lightning, Wei Yunqing swallowed two pills to repair her internal injuries with difficulty. Then, she held the spirit stone and began to absorb spiritual energy, preparing to face the final nine tribulation lightning bolts.

The final nine bolts of tribulation lightning grew thicker and thicker, seemingly intent on striking Wei Yunqing to death. Even the Buddhist cultivators from Yunmen Temple who were watching from the sidelines noticed this and whispered among themselves.

Standing not far away, Buddhist disciple Yun Chen frowned but said nothing. Yun Ze simply chanted a Buddhist prayer:

"Amitabha! It seems that Fellow Daoist Wei's Nascent Soul Tribulation is somewhat unusual."

As soon as he finished speaking, three bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting Wei Yunqing squarely on the head and knocking him to the ground, unable to even maintain his five-heart-facing-the-sky posture.

Wei Yunqing was already on her last breath. She hadn't expected this Nascent Soul Tribulation to be so dangerous. She had used every means at her disposal. If she didn't want to die under the lightning tribulation, she could only hide in the crimson bracelet.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, her spatial ability would be exposed, and she wouldn't even be able to protect her last trump card. Just as she hesitated, the eighth bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck down on her head, giving her no chance to react.

Just as Wei Yunqing was about to hide in the crimson bracelet, the bracelet on her wrist reacted first. A red light shot out from the bracelet, enveloping Wei Yunqing completely and colliding head-on with the falling purple tribulation lightning. In the end, the two forces canceled each other out, the tribulation lightning was consumed by 70%, and the red light completely dissipated.

In her hazy state, Wei Yunqing heard a childish voice in her ear:

"Master, Crimson can only help you this far."

As the remaining tribulation lightning entered her body, Wei Yunqing coughed up blood, and the crimson bracelet fell to the ground beside her. Just as she grasped the bracelet, the last black tribulation lightning silently struck, causing Wei Yunqing to lose consciousness completely. Yunze clasped his hands together and whispered:
"Amitabha! It's actually a tribulation of inner demons! I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wei can get through it safely."

At this moment, Wei Yunqing was trapped in an illusion woven by her inner demons and could not extricate herself. In the illusion, she was always the pride of the Wei family and the only child of her parents. She was also very talented and could be said to have been pampered and spoiled as she grew up.

When she reached the age for cultivation, the Wei family actively planned for her, using their connections to send her to the Haoran Sect, where she became a disciple of the sect leader, the youngest disciple of the Imperial Geng True Lord.

She had been cultivating alongside her senior brother Sheng Yuhong since childhood. The two were childhood sweethearts who were both teacher and friend. Just when she was happily planning to become Daoist partners with her senior brother after she formed her core, a swan event suddenly appeared.

When Sheng Yuhong went out to train, he rescued a female cultivator. Coincidentally, she was also surnamed Wei and was a member of a collateral branch of the Wei family. She was even one of the Wei family members who were not qualified to live in Kunyu City.

When she first met this female cultivator from the same clan, she could barely suppress the nameless anger in her heart, because her senior brother was speaking to her with a gentle and tender expression, and even raised his hand to smooth the stray hairs flying by her ear.

Then things took a strange turn. She tried every means to drive the other party out of the Haoran Sect and wanted her senior brother to stay away from her. As a result, her senior brother not only blamed her for being narrow-minded but also grew closer to her, doing everything he could to protect her. He even begged the sect leader to let her become a disciple of the Fire-Controlling True Monarch.

All of this drove Wei Yunqing insanely jealous. Things shouldn't be like this. The more she tried to drive him away, the further her senior brother drifted away from her.

"Kill her, and you'll win the love of my senior brother!"

The thought seemed to pop into her head in an instant, startling her, and she quickly banished it from her mind.

But when she saw her senior brother embrace the other person, that thought resurfaced in her mind.

"Kill her, and Senior Brother will belong to me alone!"

"Kill her, and my senior brother will only love me!"

"Kill her, and all the problems will be solved."

As these thoughts grew stronger, a flash of blood red appeared in Wei Yunqing's eyes, and her body outside began to emit wisps of gray mist.

"Oh no, she's about to be controlled by her inner demons!"

Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, put his hands together in prayer and said:
"Amitabha! This can only be overcome by her own inner demons; there's nothing we can do to help!"

Yunxi, on the other hand, was unaware that Wei Yunqing had fallen into an illusion woven by a demon while undergoing the Nascent Soul Tribulation. Even if she knew, she would probably just laugh it off, since the other party hadn't cultivated his mind and had given the demon an opportunity to take advantage.

The outermost layer of red lotus petals of the Seven-Colored Lotus had perfectly merged with the dantian, repairing the tear in Yunxi's dantian. The little nascent soul inside the dantian also breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the very center of the dantian.

As her dantian began to heal, Yunxi unconsciously curled the corners of her lips. She then continued to infuse the orange lotus petals into her dantian, making it even more resilient.
