I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 188 Demon or Immortal, a Single Thought Away (24 pages)
Although many external factors caused her harm in her previous life, what ultimately led her to her doom was her own inner demons.

External injuries can gradually heal with enough time and appropriate medication. Even the most difficult-to-cure spiritual wounds can be restored with the help of others or elixirs.

The only thing that can be overcome is one's own inner demons. Others can only offer words of comfort; ultimately, it is up to the cultivator to break free from them.

If a cultivator cannot overcome their inner demons, their cultivation will either stagnate or even regress.

In severe cases, it can lead to demonic possession, mental derangement, and loss of consciousness, ultimately resulting in death, with both body and soul dissipating and tragically disappearing into the world.

Throughout history, countless spiritual practitioners have fallen on their path forward because they could not overcome the hurdle of their inner demons.

The 【Dream-Affectionate Heart-Binding Array】has nothing to do with cultivation level, spiritual power, or greed.

It is only related to the strength of one's soul.

And, it's related to love.

This is not only a test of one's resistance to inner demons, but also a test of the strength of the soul of those in the formation.

Humans are subject to the seven emotions and six desires, and all living beings will inevitably encounter emotional tribulations.

The strength of the soul is closely related to the level of the divine soul, because even though Yu Muhuai is just a beginner spirit array master, he can pass the level more easily than others.

Because she had already experienced many different worlds, her soul strength far surpassed that of others.

The divine soul is a level that is more difficult to cultivate than spiritual power. Ordinary people can only gradually sense the existence of the divine soul after reaching the divine soul realm.

Although Liu Chengze did not have the talent of a spirit array master, nor had he reached the Divine Soul Realm, he had an old senior within him.

A few days after Liu Chengze was 13 years old and Hua Yingyue broke off their engagement, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

The other party called himself Yuan, a Supreme Realm expert who died hundreds of years ago, leaving behind only a wisp of divine consciousness attached to a certain object.

When Liu Chengze was a child, he accidentally picked up that item. Yuan, who was in a deep sleep, subconsciously entered Liu Chengze's body and began to absorb nutrients from his body from that moment on.

Therefore, in public, the young Liu Chengze appeared to have no talent for cultivation whatsoever.

It wasn't until ten years later, when Yuan gradually regained a little consciousness, that he began to guide Liu Chengze in his cultivation, teaching him many things and even giving back some spiritual energy.

After years of refinement, the spiritual power that originally belonged to Liu Chengze has become even more refined.

After absorbing the power, his strength improved rapidly, so much so that in just six years, he went from zero to the ninth level of the Initial Spirit Realm.

There is a treasure that Yuan is determined to obtain on this journey to the secret realm.

However, Yuan never revealed what it was, only saying that obtaining this treasure would be of great help to Liu Chengze.

Liu Chengze could only vaguely guess that the treasure might have some connection with Yuan. However, since he had no clue, he could only speculate wildly.

For a long time, Liu Chengze had become accustomed to communicating with Yuan in his mind and to receiving help from him.

Although he didn't know exactly what was inside the secret realm, Yuan said it was something good, so Liu Chengze had to get it.

Yuan also said that if Liu Chengze brought a girl with him into the secret realm, the chances of obtaining the treasure would be much greater.

As for the reason for bringing a girl along, Yuan really didn't know.

He only said that he had seen people enter the secret realm, but they returned empty-handed because they had no female companions.

Since that's the case, then without a doubt, Liu Chengze will bring his closest junior sister, Shi Yumian.

To his utter surprise, the reason why the secret realm required a man and a woman was because of the [Dream-Fulfilling Heart Array].

(Yu Muhuai: Senior, you're being a bit off. Love isn't limited to just one man and one woman. Shangguan Tao is open to both men and women, and Tian Menglong and Changzai can also be together. Tian Menglong: You little brat, you're asking for it!!)
Liu Chengze and Shi Yumian had feelings for each other, but they had never expressed them explicitly.

In the game "The Dream of Qi Xin", the two characters were completely immersed in their roles, falling deeply in love with each other.

A sudden clash of heavenly thunder ignites a passionate fire, the endless clouds and mists of Wushan Mountain, and the indescribable warmth of the red candlelight in the boudoir.

The windowpanes closed themselves in embarrassment, and the moon hid behind the clouds in shame.

After a brief period of sweetness comes excruciating pain.

This is the power of the [Dream-Fulfilling Array]: it can lead all the plots to a tragic ending, and will definitely make the lovers clash and fight each other.

Both Liu Chengze and Shi Yumian experienced excruciating pain before finally making up their minds.

Because of the abyss within Liu Chengze's body, his soul unleashed an unprecedentedly powerful force at that moment.

In the end, his spirit overcame his inner demons, and he ended his lover's life with his own hands in the illusion.

When everything around him shattered and Shi Yumian disappeared, all of Liu Chengze's sealed memories came flooding back, and he realized what he had just experienced.

Just when he was overjoyed to have broken through the formation and thought he would be able to obtain the treasure, fate played a cruel joke on him.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared near the big tree at the entrance, with Shi Yumian lying unconscious beside him, injured by him.

"Yuan, what happened? Where is the treasure? Where is that powerful being? Didn't I already pass the trial? How did I just come out? Did I already get the treasure? Why didn't I feel anything?"

Liu Chengze felt inexplicably apprehensive. He didn't know what had happened, so he kept asking questions, without even noticing that Yuan's condition was a bit off.

After a long while, the voice finally echoed in his mind.

But now it sounds even older and weaker.

You missed out.

"What?" Liu Chengze was shocked. He was about to ask more questions, but Yuan's next words made him even more uneasy.

"To help you escape that formation, I exhausted the little energy I had stored up. Now I need to go into hibernation and will not be back anytime soon. Take care of yourself."

After saying that, Liu Chengze's mind went silent.

He panicked and kept calling the other person's name, but received no response.

This is the first time since he was 13 that Liu Chengze has been unable to communicate with Yuan.

It was the first time he had ever felt so helpless, powerless, and hopeless.

If you had never received it, there wouldn't be such a huge sense of loss.

Unfortunately, he seemed to be talking to himself in his mind the whole time, and he didn't hear any response.

When the surrounding noise reached Liu Chengze's ears again, he looked around in confusion.

That's right! Someone else must have gotten it!
Liu Chengze completely ignored the unconscious Shi Yumian and went straight to Shangguan Tao, who was closest to him.

"Were you the first one to come out just now?" Shangguan Tao and Ye Mingren didn't know what had happened between them, as both of them were injured.
