What do you mean the game swordsman I controlled has come back to life?

Yue Qingwu immediately headed towards her master Su Qinghan's cave.

The cave gate opened automatically.

"Disciple, what brings you here?"

Hearing her master's familiar line, Yue Qingwu couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. She had heard it no less than a hundred times yesterday.

"Master, I have been possessed by a senior figure like the Demonic Ancestor."

"Is that so?" Su Qinghan scanned his disciple with his divine sense but found nothing unusual.

Instead, he noticed that his disciple had actually broken through to the 8th level of Qi Refining.

"Disciple, you must have been possessed by a demon. Qi Refining cultivators will start to develop demons from the 7th level until the Foundation Establishment Tribulation is fully formed."

Overcoming one's inner demons is a prerequisite for achieving Foundation Establishment.

Su Qinghan explained the science to her disciple.

She anticipated that her apprentice, who was of above-average talent, would need three more years to break through to the 8th level of Qi Refining.

She underestimated her disciple.

"No, Master, that senior is currently hiding inside my body. Yesterday, he controlled me for a whole day and fought against you for a long time."

"He also called himself the Lord of the Soul Palace, Soul Extinction."

Yue Qingwu looked anxious.

"Disciple, you spent the whole day meditating in your cave yesterday. How could you have sparred with your master? You should temper your Dao heart and not let your inner demons take over your body."

Furthermore, there is no sect called the Soul Hall on the Jade Void Continent.

Su Qinghan shook her head. She had just carefully checked Yue Qingwu and found nothing unusual.

"It's true, Master. That demon, Senior, has mastered the laws of time and space and the reversal of Yin and Yang. I really fought against Master for a long time."

Yue Qingwu was extremely anxious.

"Reversing Yin and Yang to master the two laws of time and space, each of which can only be mastered by a great being at the Mahayana stage."

Moreover, only the most outstanding among the Mahayana stage masters can master one of these two heaven-defying supreme laws.

"Simultaneously mastering two [skills] is something no powerful being in the Jade Void Continent possesses."

Su Qinghan knew very well that even if such a powerful being existed, he would have already ascended to the Immortal Realm and could not possibly attach himself to a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator like himself.

There is only one possibility: Yue Qingwu's inner demons affected her mind.

"Your inner demons have begun to erode your mind, my disciple."

Could it be that I was really affected by my inner demons during my breakthrough?

Yue Qingwu hesitated, wondering if everything she had encountered yesterday was due to her inner demons.

She still couldn't believe it; the feeling of having her body controlled was too real.

Seeing this, Su Qinghan guessed that her disciple's mind had really been affected by inner demons, and as her teacher, she had to help her clear away these demons.

Inner demons originate from a cultivator's own Dao foundation. As the foundation is established and the Dao foundation is solidified, the inner demons become more and more solidified, and they will erupt during the final tribulation, engaging in a fierce battle with the cultivator.

A cultivator who cannot overcome their inner demons will die and their body will be taken over by those demons.

"Tell me, what did that Soul Hall Master, Soul Extinction, tell you?"

Su Qinghan decided to follow his disciple's advice and see just how far the inner demons had eroded him.

He said a lot, but I didn't understand what he meant, except that he told us to go on a killing spree.

Sure enough, inner demons began to grow.

How could his own disciple, with his pure heart, utter such words as "going on a killing spree," which only a demonic cultivator would say?

Inner demons are formed from the desires within a cultivator's heart.

His disciple said he had fought with him for a long time.

Is it because I've been too strict with her lately?

He still needed to make his disciple realize that he had been influenced by his inner demons.

The best way is to prove that what the other party is saying is false, and that they are being blinded by their own inner demons.

"Since you said you fought with your master for a long time yesterday, what was the result?"

"I died many times, but in the end I killed you, Master."

Yue Qingwu said.

What an arrogant inner demon.

Su Qinghan thought to herself.

"Then let your master see your strength. One test will tell you whether it is your inner demons causing trouble."

"As long as you can withstand three moves from me."

Yue Qingwu nodded. This was the best solution; it would be even better if it truly was a demon within her.

That is a terrifying being who controls time and space and reverses yin and yang; it is far more terrifying than inner demons.

"Please enlighten me, Master!" Yue Qingwu held his sword and assumed a fighting stance.

He gripped the sword tip tightly in one hand, which hung at his feet, less than two inches from the ground, his posture suggesting that he had just slaughtered someone's entire family.

Su Qinghan frowned, realizing that her disciple was greatly affected by her inner demons.

"I'm about to make my move, watch out."

Yue Qingwu faced his master with a solemn expression.

Looking at his master's familiar starting stance, it was the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

Yue Qingwu had seen this move no less than a hundred times, and had died from it many times.

Of course, it wasn't her, but the demon or inner demon that controlled her body.

Should I give it a try myself?

Yue Qingwu suddenly had a whimsical idea to give it a try.

As the attack was about to be launched, her body shifted to the side.

"Ouch!"

The back of the longsword from the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" struck her solidly in the abdomen.

The pain made Yue Qingwu's eyes redden, and a few tears welled up.

She got up and rubbed her stomach.

"Disciple, what are you doing? Why aren't you even trying to dodge?"

Su Qinghan was slightly taken aback when her disciple inexplicably shifted her cold and aloof expression.

His own disciple wouldn't think he could avoid her attacks with such a simple method, would he?

It seems he's been driven to a state of mental instability by his inner demons.

"Hmm, it must be a mental demon. Why isn't my dodging working?"

Yue Qingwu became increasingly convinced that she was being influenced by her inner demons.

"It's nothing, I probably just didn't sleep well. Master, let's continue."

Yue Qingwu held her sword horizontally in front of her chest with both hands, her body slightly lowered; this was her normal fighting stance.

It's the familiar "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin" opening stance.

Yue Qingwu watched as her master's attack came at her. Her master had sheathed most of his swords, leaving only one aimed at her.

It was so fast that Yue Qingwu couldn't even react.

She knew she couldn't dodge this move at all.

Just as she was pondering how to escape, memories of being controlled by her inner demons yesterday flooded back.

I don't have the invincible power of the inner demons, so I can find ways to avoid them.

Yue Qingwu, on a sudden impulse, shifted to one side, and the flying sword narrowly missed her shoulder.

As she moved sideways, she attacked her master, thrusting her sword out.

"Catch the skill's recovery animation, flank from behind and get a greedy hit."

The unfamiliar voice inexplicably popped into Yue Qingwu's mind.

Her sword pierced her master's lower back.

This sword strike stunned both Yue Qingwu and Su Qinghan.

How did I (she) do it?

Yue Qingwu looked up, her face full of innocence, on the verge of tears: "Master, I didn't mean to."

Su Qinghan's face was icy: "Impressive skills, actually hiding your talents in front of your master."

With a surge of spiritual energy, a long sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed at his disciple behind him.

Yue Qingwu seemed to have anticipated her master's actions. She lowered her body, supported herself with one hand, and circled around behind her master in an extremely low posture, unleashing another sword strike.

It hit the target again.

These combat movements seemed to be etched into Yue Qingwu's muscle memory, causing her to react subconsciously.

There was no way around it; she was simply too familiar with her master's moves.

Although she didn't control the body to fight, she personally experienced hundreds of battles with her master.

Whether it's the subtle changes in the master's circulation of spiritual energy, or the slight exertion of muscles in the limbs,

She could subconsciously guess what moves her master was going to make based on these details.

Yue Qingwu and Su Qinghan grew increasingly alarmed as they fought.

Especially Yue Qingwu felt her heart sink as the battle progressed.

"Could this not be a demonic possession, but rather the possession of a demonic sect patriarch?"
