Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 161 Shattering the Core to Form a Nascent Soul
"They may display the beauty of celestial maidens, or bring down calamities and terrors, or bestow fame, fortune, and power, or incite doubt and slander against the true Dharma—and so for a thousand kalpas, they will not be able to escape..."

As Mingkong chanted softly, countless demonic phantoms appeared around him, sometimes transforming into celestial maidens scattering flowers, sometimes into Asura demons, and even more beings of all kinds floated and sank within them.

However, when these illusions reached within three feet of Mingkong, they shattered like bubbles, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating.

"All obstacles are obstacles of the mind; if the mind is not confused, the obstacles will naturally disappear."

Mingkong smiled slightly, and with a light tap of his fingertips, the shattered demonic shadows reformed, transforming into golden lotuses that bloomed all around him.

"Refine your heart with demons, and transform demons with your heart. You will be free from them. This is my original intention."

As the chanting of the scriptures was completed, Mingkong's aura suddenly changed. The originally pure and undefiled Buddhist light now faintly revealed a trace of demonic nature.

But this demonic nature did not impair his cultivation; on the contrary, it made his Buddhist teachings more harmonious and unobstructed.

"This 'The Sutra of the Original Vow of the Other-Transformation Heavenly Demon' is not simply a method for subduing demons, but rather a way to refine the mind through demons and prove the Tao through demons. Demons are an integral part of the workings of heaven and earth."

Mingkong took out a jade slip, recorded the newly comprehended scriptures on it, and then shared it with his main body and other incarnations through the inner vision anchor point.

"Although this sutra originated from the demonic path, it secretly conforms to the Buddhist principle of 'afflictions are enlightenment,' so it can be considered a karmic connection."

Meanwhile, in the world of mortals cultivating immortality.

Wei Wuxian concealed his whereabouts all the way and finally found a remote mountain range, where he opened a cave, set up many restrictions, and began to cultivate in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the stone chamber, with the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords floating in front of him. Bloodlust and demonic energy intertwined, forming a blood-red vortex around his body.

"Prove the Dao through killing, refine your heart through demonic means... The Nascent Soul realm begins today!"

Wei Wuxian formed hand seals, his golden core spun rapidly within his body, and boundless spiritual power surged through his meridians. Abundant internal energy was injected, impacting the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage.

The crimson vortex spun faster and faster, and the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords emitted a piercing buzz. Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, and six rotating demonic runes appeared in his pupils.

"Driven by the six desires, the demon descends upon the world!"

With a low shout, Wei Wuxian's demonic energy surged, and his complex thoughts manifested, combining with the demonic energy to condense into thousands of hideous demonic shadows. These shadows burrowed into his seven orifices, conjuring countless temptations in his sea of ​​consciousness.

There are peerless beauties undressing, mountains of gold and silver piled up like seas, and even illusions of immortality and invincibility.

Wei Wuxian sneered, and his Heavenly Demon Body suddenly appeared from behind him. With six arms outstretched, it tore apart and devoured those Heavenly Demon thoughts!

With each celestial demon he devoured, a new crack appeared in his golden core. When the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth celestial demon was devoured, the golden core shattered with a roar, and a miniature nascent soul, entirely black with six arms, leaped out!

Nascent Soul Realm, achieved!

Subsequently, a blood-red vertical line appeared between Wei Wuxian's eyebrows, within which seemed to be a pitch-black world, with a black sun hanging above and the netherworld below.

The world of mind transmitted by the Buddha of Emptiness can be governed by a Bodhi tree, or naturally by other things.

In the center of that world stood a pitch-black mountain, extending 80,000 yojanas underground and rising 80,000 yojanas above ground. At its summit was a demonic palace, where countless demonic figures danced wildly, like subjects of a sovereign, paying homage to the six-armed Nascent Soul. All demons came to pay homage. At the same time, a thousand miles away, Ancestor Yunlu crushed the paper figure in his hand for the 107th time, his eyes flashing with cold light: "Well done, Li Feiyu! How dare you toy with me like this!"

The paper figure turned to ashes and scattered, but a faint wisp of demonic energy emerged from the ashes. Ancestor Yunlu made hand seals and chanted incantations, and nine pink halos suddenly contracted, trapping the demonic energy within.

"Chasing the soul and seeking the shadow, searching for traces across ten thousand miles!"

The pink halo trembled violently and suddenly pointed to the northwest. Ancestor Yunlu sneered and his figure transformed into a pink stream of light, soaring away into the sky.

Inside Wei Wuxian's newly created cave, the six-armed Nascent Soul sat cross-legged in his Purple Mansion, his body shrouded in blood-red malevolent energy. Wei Wuxian suddenly opened his eyes, a cold smile creeping onto his lips: "That old demon is indeed still persistent."

"Then don't blame me for leading you here!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the layers of restrictions on the cave dwelling lit up.

After a while, the outermost layer of the barrier suddenly fluctuated violently, and the soft, feminine voice of Ancestor Yunlu pierced through the stone wall: "Fellow Daoist Li, is this your way of treating guests?"

Wei Wuxian stood up, and the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords flew out from his waist. The stone door of the cave opened with a roar, and a blood-red sword light slashed out like a bolt of lightning.

Ancestor Yunlu was prepared, and nine pink halos formed an array. The sword light collided with the halos, producing a metallic clang.

"Why are you being so aggressive, Fellow Daoist Yunlu?" Wei Wuxian stepped out into the air, his Heavenly Magic Body appearing and disappearing behind him, and said deliberately.

Ancestor Yunlu narrowed his eyes, and seeing Wei Wuxian's aura, he was not surprised but delighted, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Li has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, which is truly a cause for celebration. Why don't you come with me to the Hehuan Sect to become a Supreme Elder? Resources, cultivation techniques, and even furnaces are all available for you to choose from."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuxian's eyes flashed with a hint of bloodlust, but a playful smile appeared on his lips: "Fellow Daoist Yunlu has extended such a warm invitation. If I were to refuse again, it would seem as if I were ungrateful."

Seeing that his attitude had softened, Ancestor Yunlu was secretly pleased. The nine pink halos trembled slightly, emitting a bewitching aura: "Fellow Daoist Li is indeed straightforward. Please follow me..."

Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, Wei Wuxian's Heavenly Magic Body spread out its six arms, each palm revealing a Xuanhuang talisman. The six talismans intertwined in the air, instantly transforming into a vast Xuanhuang net that blotted out the sky, covering an area of ​​ten miles in radius.

"Earth Vein Sealing Heaven Formation!"

This formation was created by the Venerable One by combining the Tongtian Talisman and the Qi Bureau's terrain. It uses talismans to trigger changes in the Qi of heaven and earth, forming a force that seals the heavens and destroys the earth.

Although Han Yun did not understand the array formations of the cultivation world and had no relevant references, he still believed that they were all based on the changes of spiritual energy. The so-called array formations relied on the power of heaven and earth.

Coincidentally, talismans can also leverage the power of heaven and earth. Once one method is mastered, all methods can be mastered. Creating a ley line sealing array is not a difficult task.

Ancestor Yunlu's expression changed drastically, and he retreated hastily, only to find that the surrounding scenery had become sluggish and frozen. A magnetic force as large as a mountain pressed down on Ancestor Yunlu, making it difficult for him to even use the technique of levitation.

He shouted sternly, "Li Feiyu! What do you mean by this?"

Wei Wuxian stood with his hands behind his back, the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords hovering beside him, their blades glowing with a bloody light: "Fellow Daoist Yunlu, haven't you always been curious about my origins? Today I'll show you clearly."

Having said that, a vertical pupil suddenly split open between his brows, its pitch-black pupil reflecting countless demonic shadows. An aura far more terrifying than that of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly erupted, causing the entire Xuanhuang Barrier to tremble.

"You...you're not an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator?!"
