Journey to the head

Magical power: Pink Skull!
Secret Art: Dream Weaving!
At this moment, Lin Le's consciousness was fully opened, his spiritual awareness surged, and a strange light radiated from his eyes. He used the wonderful magical power of "The Mysterious Truth of All Laws" to harmonize and integrate them, and simultaneously launched these two techniques to confuse the mind and soul.

Just as he was confused and self-doubting because of the sentence "I am the seed of the Tenth Heavenly Lord", Master Chiyu's eyes blurred as he stared at Lin Le. Suddenly, the person in front of him turned into Junior Sister Fang, whom he had buried deep in his heart.

It was her, but it seemed not to be her.

Those eyebrows, eyes, lips, nose, every frown and smile, they were all hers. But she showed unprecedented charm and temptation, making Pei Lie unable to look away.

Her dark cloud-like hair cascaded down her porcelain-like body, and every inch of her skin radiated a lustrous, white sheen. On her absolutely beautiful and charming face, purity and desire intertwined into an extremely alluring expression, which made people feel a strong urge to defile.

"Senior Brother Pei..."

A low moan was heard, and at first glance, Pei Lie felt his mouth dry and he couldn't help but step forward. Everything around him turned soft pink, and many pairs of delicate arms began to climb up his body. Waves of either immature or mature moans filled his ears.

The devilish lustful woman, the heart-eating Rakshasa!
Pei Lie grabbed Junior Sister Fang's hand tightly and held this soft body tightly in his arms.

But at this moment, Junior Sister Fang suddenly sneered.

That piece of exquisitely beautiful flesh suddenly began to rot all over. The black hair fell off, and maggots swarmed all over. The yellow flesh burst into thick liquid, seemingly slowly but quickly, and turned into a skeleton!
Beauty bewitches the heart, and skulls frighten the soul!
The supreme lustful woman turned into a rotten skeleton in the blink of an eye. During this transformation, no living thing could escape the great terror between life and death. The boundless fear directly hit Pei Lie and devoured him completely.

The whole world changed again and returned to that cold stone chamber.

The elephant is born from the heart, and fear is the cage!
Lin Le stood aside, observing everything from a completely invisible God's perspective.

Akabane Zhenren has been lying all the time. He is resisting the truth. Simple dream weaving is no longer effective, so Lin Le uses his magical power, the Red Skull.

This is the magical power gained from the "White Bones Contemplation Method" by the evil cultivator Skull.

This magical power will awaken the deepest fear in everyone's heart, making people fall into a terrifying illusion and unable to extricate themselves. One must resolve one's own karma. Once hit, unless the caster can resolve it or has a transcendent mind to overcome one's fear, one will be devoured by the inner demon and die in the illusion.

True Man Akabane was originally in a state of being possessed by a demon, but his mind was only confused by the demon in his heart, which affected his mind and personality, and he was also fighting against the demon to a certain extent.

And now, Lin Le has to risk his life to survive. He must use the rosy skull to free the inner demons of Akabane Zhenren, and then use dream weaving to influence and guide him, so that the truth will be revealed and the key to rescue Akabane Zhenren will be found!
A few handfuls of flames could not illuminate the dim stone room. Pei Lie knelt on the ground, clenching his fists tightly. His face was full of struggle and pain. After a long while, he whispered, "Does it have to be like this?"

"It has to be this way." In front of the stone wall stood a tall and thin monk dressed in black. His voice showed no emotion. "You want to succeed in building your foundation, right? You only need to bring six monks. Six for one is a good deal and very fair."

When he looked closely, Lin Le suddenly discovered that the monk was not wearing black clothes. He was actually naked. His skin seemed to be severely damaged and burned by lightning. It was as black as charcoal and covered with cracks. All the blood in his body had been evaporated!

How could he still be alive with such injuries?

"But you have killed so many people, isn't that enough?" Pei Lie argued hard, "The Danxia sect is in a state of panic right now, and the brothers dare not go out casually. Where can I find six monks for you?"

"That's your problem." The dark monk said, "I can't hold on for much longer. You only have one day left. Find six monks for me, and you can learn the magical skills of the Tenth Heavenly Sovereign."

"It is easy to successfully build a foundation, and the future is limitless. It is that simple."

"Build your foundation with profound skills or fail again and die. It's your choice."

The dark monk suddenly disappeared, leaving only Pei Lie kneeling there, breathing heavily.

I have failed twice.
Ling Rui was severely injured as a result. Since the establishment of our sect, I have never heard of anyone succeeding for the third time after failing twice.

If I had relied on myself alone, my path would have been ruined!
The scene around him changed again. Pei Lie was walking alone on the mountain path of the Danxia Sect, and his fellow disciples on both sides were looking at him with pity, contempt and sarcasm.

As he walked past, whispers began to be heard.

"This is Pei Lie from Huoyun Peak. He has failed twice in building his foundation. In my opinion, there is no hope for him in his lifetime."

"His luck is so bad. I don't know what he did to be abandoned by fate. It's pitiful that he will be cut off from the future."

"I heard that he was a highly-regarded seed at Huoyun Peak before, but it turns out that he is nothing special."

"With his qualifications, how did he accomplish so many feats before? I'm afraid those feats are not real. Shouldn't the Law Enforcement Hall investigate?"

"Hush, he was quite popular before, and many of his juniors were his fans. Be careful that his supporters may treat you badly."

"Hahaha, that's a good joke. Supporters, who is still his supporter now? You?"

Pei Lie's footsteps became heavier and heavier, and his head lowered lower and lower.

Those negative emotions swallowed him like an abyss.

How high-spirited and ambitious you once were, now you are depressed and lonely, humble and timid.

Lin Le could feel the pain, gloom, despair and hatred in his heart.

I can't go on like this, I can't die in the dust, this is not my ending!

I must succeed in building my foundation, I can give everything!
The scene changed, and in a dark and winding stone path, Pei Lie and several fellow apprentices were arguing.

The fellow disciples all agreed that this trip was too risky and that this place was definitely not a good place, so they wanted to evacuate.

"Brother Pei, we don't need to take this risk." A fellow disciple said, "Since you have discovered the hiding place of the evil cultivator, we can just inform the sect to deal with it. Why do we have to act privately?"

"Brother Pei, if you had said from the beginning that you were here to kill the evil cultivator, we would definitely not have followed you." Another fellow disciple said, "This evil cultivator has come all the way from somewhere else and has killed many cultivators. He is very dangerous. Let's go back quickly."

Pei Lie's throat was dry and he was stuck in the passage, with one hand already pressing on the hilt of the sword.

My fellow apprentices have become suspicious and want to leave. What should I do now?
Suddenly a gentle female voice sounded.

"Everyone, please be patient."

"After all these years, don't you still trust Senior Brother Pei?"

It’s Junior Sister Fang.

She walked up, took Pei Lie's arm, and stood side by side with him.

Her hands were warm, while Pei Lie's were cold.

"It is indeed inappropriate for Senior Brother Pei to gather everyone together privately. But he is just eager to make achievements and wants to kill the evil cultivators and get rewards to build his foundation."

"Senior Brother Pei is in a difficult situation right now, and we are the only ones he can rely on. He has always been very caring towards us in the past, so let's give him a hand now and help him build his foundation!"

The fellow apprentices looked around, their expressions wavering.

"Besides, eliminating demons and defending the Way is our duty."

"That evil cultivator has been wreaking havoc on the village, causing great harm. Many people have already been harmed by him."

"We have already alerted the enemy by coming here to siege them. If we return without success, the evil cultivator will surely take the opportunity to escape, and I am afraid that they will cause even greater trouble in the future."

"He has been hiding and not daring to show up. It must be that his cultivation is not high and his direct combat ability is not strong. We are all in the late stage of Qi training. When the time comes, we will rush in together and we will definitely be able to eradicate him and get rid of the harm to the people!"

The fellow students were all excited and made up their minds.

"Since Senior Sister Fang also said so, let's give it a try."

Junior Sister Fang turned around with a smile on her face and whispered, "Senior Brother Pei, don't worry. I will definitely help you. I believe you will be able to successfully build your foundation. Let's go quickly."

Pei Lie hurriedly avoided her gaze, and after a long time his dry voice was heard from the stone road.

"Thank you very much... If I can successfully build my foundation, I will definitely remember your help."...

The door to the stone chamber opened and then closed, and shadows covered everyone.

The few of them saw the charred figure at the first sight, and their hair stood on end in an instant.

They couldn't feel the spiritual pressure from that person at all!
The dark monk leaned back on the stone chair and glanced around without any emotion.

"There are six in total. You successfully brought them here, Pei Lie."

The fellow disciples were originally preparing to face a formidable enemy; all kinds of magical instruments were already in hand, and talismans and various spells were ready to be used, just waiting for Pei Lie's order.

At this moment, everyone turned around in shock, unable to believe their ears.

Junior Sister Fang suddenly shouted, "Don't be fooled by this evil cultivator. He is trying to sow discord. Kill him now!"

She flew the sword and slashed at the dark monk. But with a clang, a long sword surrounded by flames opened the flying sword.

This is Pei Lie’s flying sword!
Under the incredulous gaze of Junior Sister Fang, Pei Lie pleaded with the Dark Monk: "Let her go, okay? Just let her go, okay?"

Seeing the dark monk shook his head, Pei Lie said, "Then I'll find another one for you."

"Senior Brother Pei" Junior Sister Fang was trembling all over.

"Shut up!" Pei Lie suddenly yelled at her, then knelt down in front of the dark monk, "Please, I'll find someone else for you, okay?"

"Pei Lie!" Several fellow disciples finally reacted. They felt it was extremely absurd and extremely angry.

One magical weapon after another was pointed at Pei Lie, and no matter how loud the roar was, it could not express the pain of being betrayed.

"Pei Lie, we trust you so much, but you——"

Snapped!
The dark monk snapped his fingers lightly.

The five junior brothers were suddenly unable to utter a sound. Wisps of fire radiated from their bodies, becoming more and more intense. The next moment, raging flames burst out from their facial features.

In just a blink of an eye, the five junior brothers had turned into a pile of charcoal. And five balls of green light were drawn out and held in the hands of the dark monk.

Pei Lie stopped talking and just kept kowtowing.

Junior Sister Fang stood there stupidly, looking at Pei Lie, then at the five charred corpses on the ground.

She suddenly felt a piercing pain and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pei Lie."

The dark monk walked up to Pei Lie and said, "I don't have enough time. I can't wait for you to change people."

"Besides, what is this?"

"A belated awakening of conscience? That's a little too ridiculous."

"You humans are so hypocritical."

Pei Lie was about to speak when he heard the sound of a sharp blade piercing into the body from behind!
His pupils dilated instantly, and he turned his head suddenly, only to see that Junior Sister Fang had already sent the flying sword into his chest!

Blood bloomed on her body like flowers.

Pei Lie staggered forward and held her horizontally in his arms, just like he had done countless times before.

But this time, her body was cold.

She looked at her lover with extremely disappointed eyes and spoke her last words in an extremely desperate tone.

"Brother Pei, you shouldn't do that."

Snapped!
Another snap of the fingers was heard, her body trembled, and a ball of green light was drawn out and put into the hands of the dark monk.

Pei Lie knelt there, his mind was blank. He tried to touch his lover's cheek with his trembling hands, but the pair of eyes that were still open made it impossible for him to reach out his hand.

Pei Lie! Pei Lie!
He opened his mouth in vain and let out a wild animal roar.

Pei Lie, what have you done?

In the stone chamber, only the dark monk's voice without any emotion was heard: "My time is up. Pei Lie, accept my gift as agreed."

In response to him, there were two flying swords emitting billowing flames!

Pei Lie clenched his swords, jumped up, and slashed at him frantically, his face full of tear marks.

"Why, why me!"

The dark monk just touched him lightly, and Pei Lie was fixed in mid-air, unable to move at all.

"I didn't choose you, Pei Lie. You chose me."

He paused and then sighed.

"Humans always do inexplicable things. I really don't understand. You want revenge on me now, but why did you agree to the deal in the first place?"

"Isn't there a saying in human history that goes, 'If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.'"

Pei Lie collapsed all of a sudden. He cried loudly and roared in pain like a dying beast.

"Kill me, kill me now!"

"I was wrong, I deserve to die, how can I live in this world like this!"

The dark monk sighed for the first time: "You can't die, otherwise all my efforts will be in vain. I never thought that I would have to find a reason for you to live?"

"In that case, then, for the sake of 'atonement', keep living."

He opened his hands, and balls of emerald green, vibrant light lit up on his charred body, and in the brief moment, they just healed the horrible burn marks.

He looked into the void and murmured devoutly.

"The Great Ming Golden Palace Sun Lord, the master of the Fusang Temple, one of the Twin Saints, the Lord of Birds, the King of the Sky."

"My Lord."

"My Lord, my mission cannot be completed. I can only pass it on to the next person."

"Golden Crow Dao Seed Rotation Method, command!"

A ray of bright sunlight burst out from his broken body, and the quiet room suddenly became bright!
The next moment, the charred monk turned into ashes and disappeared.

Only Pei Lie, who was freed from his restraints, fell down with a dull sound.

After a long time, Pei Lie slowly stood up. He tightly grasped a glittering jade slip on the stone table and whispered: "Atonement." (End of this chapter)
