The Emperor of Zongmen Workers is here
Chapter 48: The Past of the Bamboo Secret Realm Revealed (7)
Su Chen's consciousness struggled on the edge of illusion and reality, and the inner demon took the opportunity to enter and tried to drag him into the abyss of darkness.
"Su Chen, look at how unfair this world is to you. Why bother sticking to the so-called righteous path? Fall into the devil. After falling into the devil, you will have endless power. You can take revenge on those who hurt you and make them pay a heavy price. Fall into the devil's way. Let the power control everything. You can dominate your own destiny. Fall into the devil's way. Let the power lead you to escape from this endless pain." The inner demon whispered and bewitched in Su Chen's mind, and his treacherous words were full of temptation.
Su Chen's brow furrowed, a look of pain and confusion on his face. His heart was filled with helplessness, and his eyes revealed struggle and pain. "I... Can I really do this? But after I fall into the demon world, what will become of me?" he muttered to himself.
The inner demon continued to tempt him, "Think about the torture you endured in the Nirvana Sect. Those people deserved to die. Only the power of the devil can give you the ability to seek revenge and make them pay the price."
Su Chen's body trembled slightly, and a glimmer of struggle flashed in his eyes. "But what will become of me after I fall into the devil? Can I find myself again?"
Seeing Su Chen waver, the inner demon increased his temptation. "What are you still hesitating about? Think about the suffering you endured in the Nirvana Sect. They used you as a tool, wantonly trampling on your dignity and dreams. Once you fall into the demon, you will have enough power to destroy them and make them pay for their actions. You will be able to break free from all this and become a powerful being who controls your own destiny."
Su Chen's mind reeled from painful memories of his time in the Nirvana Sect. The images of him being bullied by his senior brother and exploited by Zang Zhili stabbed his heart like sharp blades. He clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly, his heart a tangled mess, and resentment gradually welled up.
"But... after falling into the devil, will I still be myself? I will lose myself and hurt more innocent people..." Su Chen's heart was full of contradictions.
The inner demon sneered, "Innocent? There aren't that many innocent people in this world. If you're not strong, you'll always be bullied. Only by falling into the devil's way can you control everything and protect yourself and those you care about."
Just as Su Chen was struggling internally, the Qi injected by Jiang Qingwu slowly flowed through his body, like warm sunlight gradually dispelling the darkness. Su Chen felt a sense of clarity, and he tried hard to grasp this glimmer of reason.
"What a joke! I didn't fall into the devil in my previous life, and in this life I have fellow disciples who treat me like family. How could I easily believe your nonsense?" Su Chen gritted his teeth and said, "This is just a mental illusion. Don't let your villain succeed."
Seeing Su Chen gradually regain consciousness, the inner demon illusion became even more impatient. "You are courting death! Give up resistance, falling into the devil is your only way out!"
"Su Chen, hold on, you can't be controlled by your inner demons. You have your own way to go. Don't forget the beauty of Wuliang Sect, and don't forget those who really care about you." Jiang Qingwu's voice seemed to come from a distant place, echoing in Su Chen's heart.
Su Chen's consciousness gradually cleared, and he began to fight the temptation of his inner demon. "No, I can't fall into the devil. I can't let the pain and hatred consume me completely." He said through gritted teeth.
Seeing Su Chen's resistance, the inner demon attacked his will even more frantically. "Do you think you can escape? You are destined to sink into pain, and the path of evil is your destiny."
Su Chen's heart was filled with fear and confusion, but Jiang Qingwu's innate energy continued to give him strength and courage. "I was able to defeat my inner demon in my previous life, and I can do it now," he shouted, using all his strength to fight against his inner demon.
After a fierce struggle, Su Chen gradually regained consciousness with his own will and Jiang Qingwu's help. He slowly opened his eyes, with a trace of fear and fatigue still in them, but more of determination.
"Junior Master, thank you. I almost fell into the illusion of the inner demon." Su Chen said weakly.
Jiang Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with a smile: "It's okay, Su Chen. I believe in you, we will definitely get through this together."
Su Chen hurriedly meditated to regulate his breathing, while Jiang Qingwu used the Awakening Bell to protect him.
In the dreamland, during the dark years of Nirvana Sect, Su Chen lived a life worse than death. However, by chance, a kind pilgrim secretly offered him a manual. This manual was like a ray of hope in the darkness, illuminating Su Chen's despair.
Su Chen knew this was his chance to change his fate, so he carefully hid the technique. However, under Zang Zhi's strict surveillance and pressure, learning the technique proved difficult. He could only practice secretly during his meager free time. Every night, when the other disciples fell asleep, Su Chen would quietly hide in a corner of the meditation room, using the faint moonlight to carefully study every word of the technique, striving to comprehend its mysteries.
Whenever he was exhausted from being squeezed by Zang Zhi, he would use the few moments of leisure to secretly review his techniques. The process of cultivation was arduous, as he had no master to guide him, relying solely on his own exploration. In that small room, he would often ponder the techniques alone, rehearsing every movement and every flow of spiritual energy countless times.
He faced many difficulties. On the one hand, he had to be careful not to be discovered by Zang Zhi and other disciples, as the consequences would be disastrous if they were discovered. On the other hand, practicing the technique was not smooth sailing, and there were many obscure and difficult parts that required him to explore and comprehend on his own. But Su Chen did not give up. With his perseverance and desire for freedom, he overcame the difficulties bit by bit.
As the days passed, Su Chen encountered numerous difficulties on his path of cultivation. Practicing the techniques required a great deal of energy and time, and his heavy daytime lectures and rituals left him physically exhausted. But he refused to give up. With unwavering perseverance and a yearning for freedom, he gradually accumulated strength.
Ten years passed like a flash, and after countless failures and setbacks, Su Chen finally achieved his ultimate power. One day, he decided to seek justice from the Nirvana Sect.
Inside the Nirvana Sect, the atmosphere remained as solemn and dignified as ever, with curls of incense and resonant Buddhist chants. Yet, unaware of the impending bloody storm, Su Chen, clad in a black robe, his eyes gleaming with the rage of revenge, stepped through the Nirvana Sect's gates. For ten years, he had endured, and today was the day of his triumph. He appeared in the Nirvana Sect's main hall, clad in a black robe and holding a longsword, like a ghost.
The sky was thick with dark clouds, oppressive and suffocating. The wind howled, as if playing a prelude to the coming slaughter.
Su Chen looked at those once familiar buildings and faces, and the hatred in his heart erupted like a volcano. He first found the senior brother who had bullied him. When the senior brother saw Su Chen, a look of horror appeared on his face.
"You...how could you..." Before the senior brother could finish his words, Su Chen had already taken action.
"This is the retribution you deserve!" Su Chen roared, and the powerful force instantly knocked his senior brother away. His senior brother hit the wall heavily, spitting blood.
Su Chen did not stop and continued to walk towards Zang Zhi's residence. Along the way, the disciples he met attacked him one after another, but he easily repelled them all.
"Zang Zhi, today is the day you die!" Su Chen came in front of Zang Zhi and said coldly.
Zang Zhi looked at Su Chen in panic: "Su Chen, you dare to betray the sect!"
"Betrayal? You were the ones who pushed me into the abyss first!" Su Chen said, and started a fierce battle with Zang Zhi.
A fierce battle unfolded within the Nirvana Sect. Su Chen's swordsmanship was incredibly sharp, each stroke imbued with years of hatred and anger. The surrounding disciples rushed forward to stop him, but were each repelled by Su Chen.
"All of you who aided and abetted the evil should die!" Su Chen roared, showing no mercy under his sword.
Blood stained the ground, and the entire Nirvana Sect was plunged into chaos, a cacophony of cries and screams. Su Chen's power was like a raging flood, unstoppable, leaving devastation wherever he went. The sky was now thick with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, as if roaring for revenge. The temple buildings collapsed in the battle, and flames shot up into the sky.
Su Chen was so angry that he only wanted revenge. However, at the last moment when he was about to destroy Nirvana Sect, he suddenly saw the terrified eyes of some innocent disciples.
Those disciples had not participated in the persecution of him, they were just helplessly surviving in this dark sect. A trace of hesitation flashed through Su Chen's mind, and his Buddhist heart began to waver.
"I can't go on like this. I can't let hatred turn me into a demon. What's the difference between me and Zang Zhi?" Su Chen thought to himself.
Just as his heart was wounded and on the verge of falling into evil, Su Chen chose to self-destruct. He knew he couldn't be completely consumed by hatred, couldn't let his inner demons control him. In that final moment, his eyes were filled with calmness and relief.
"Let all this end..." Su Chen said softly. With a loud bang, at that moment, his body burst out with powerful light, illuminating the entire Nirvana Sect. His body turned into a piece of light and dissipated in the world.
His soul seemed to be liberated at that moment. He used his life to end this painful revenge and also kept the last kindness in his heart.
After this great change, the Nirvana Sect fell into silence and gradually disappeared from the history of immortal cultivation...
Jiang Qingwu, who was outside the illusion, was shocked by the ending of Su Chen's previous life, but she also knew that she had to help Su Chen break free from the shackles of the illusion. On the one hand, she continued to give Su Chen spiritual support and encouragement, comforting him with firm words, making him feel that there were still people who cared about him and tried to rekindle the fire of hope in his heart.
"Su Chen, you are not alone. We face this together. You must believe that you have enough strength to overcome this illusion." Jiang Qingwu said firmly to Su Chen, his eyes full of concern and trust.
Meanwhile, Jiang Qingwu began to carefully study the patterns and flaws of the illusion. She explored every corner of the illusion, observing every detail, trying to find the key to deciphering it. She discovered that the illusion seemed to evolve based on Su Chen's most fearful and painful memories, so she decided to start with Su Chen's fondest memories.
Jiang Qingwu guided Su Chen's memories of the happy times he spent playing with his friends in Sujia Village, recalling those simple yet heartwarming moments. "Su Chen, do you still remember the days when you were picking vegetables at your doorstep, waiting for Wu Mo San Ren? Wasn't that your happiest time?" Jiang Qingwu whispered softly, trying to evoke Su Chen's deep yearning for beauty.
At the same time, Jiang Qingwu used his cultivation and magic weapons to try to create some beautiful scenes similar to reality in the illusion, such as a tranquil sea of flowers, so that Su Chen could feel tranquility and peace in it and temporarily forget the pain in the illusion.
She also constantly reminded Su Chen of his real life in Wuliang Sect, telling him about every little thing they experienced together in Wuliang Sect, so that Su Chen could understand that there was a bright future waiting for him in reality.
"Su Chen, we still have many unfulfilled dreams in Wuliang Sect, and many wonderful times are waiting for us to create. You can't be trapped by this illusion." Jiang Qingwu encouraged.
At the critical moment, Jiang Qingwu discovered a faint trace of connection between the illusion and reality, and she decided to take a risk. She concentrated all her strength, using the power of the magic weapon, trying to open up this connection and gradually bring Su Chen's consciousness back to reality.
"Su Chen, hold my hand, let's go home together." Jiang Qingwu held Su Chen's hand tightly and passed his strength to him continuously.
After strenuous efforts, and with Jiang Qingwu's unwavering perseverance and wise guidance, Su Chen finally broke free from the constraints of the illusion, regaining consciousness and his understanding of reality. He emerged from that terrifying illusion and embraced a new hope and dawn. When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a mysterious space. A soft glow permeated the air, as if a warm and mysterious power was flowing.
