Lin Xiyue: Shocked, my inner demon is so beautiful!

"Alright, Girl Yue, go ahead and try."

"The four of us will be your Protectors!"

Hearing that Lin Xiyue wanted to try it on the spot, Several Elders' spirits immediately lifted.

They nimbly locked the conference room door from the inside, cutting off any possibility of being disturbed.

Then, the four stood in a row, retreated to a short distance, and each held their breath, preparing to observe Lin Xiyue Cultivate this supreme secret method that was about to overturn Great Xia.

Looking at the solemn formation of her four grandpas, as if facing a formidable enemy, Lin Xiyue felt a bit helpless.

She shook her head, said no more, took out the Jade Slip recording the Nine Nether Demon Seeding Heart Sutra, and immersed her Divine Sense into it, beginning to study it carefully.

The conference room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Soon, Lin Xiyue had all the contents of the Jade Slip clearly in her mind, but a trace of hesitation appeared on her beautiful and peerless face.

How sharp were the eyes of the Four Elders? They immediately noticed Lin Xiyue's unusual state.

"What's wrong, Little Yue?"

"Is there something wrong with this secret method?" Grand Elder asked with concern.

"No." Lin Xiyue shook her head, explaining with some helplessness:

"The essence of the introductory chapter of this secret method is to capture that purest wisp of desire or fear during intense emotional fluctuations, using it as a 'seed' to draw out the demonic shadow in the Sea of Consciousness."

"But right now... my emotions are very stable, so stable that there isn't a single ripple."

The Four Elders were all stunned at her words.

They never expected that the entry threshold for this secret method, which could be called a Demonic Path treasure, would be this.

"Then... what should we do?" The Second Elder was a bit bewildered.

Did they have to find a way to make this girl furious, or scare her pale, first?

They wouldn't dare.

Lin Xiyue was also troubled. She thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.

"How about I try self-suggestion?"

Saying that, without waiting for Several Elders' reaction, she directly sat down in a chair, closed her eyes in a proper manner, and began to mumble.

"I'm very angry... I'm very angry..."

"That's right, I'm very angry right now, so angry I want to hit someone..."

"So angry that smoke is coming out of my seven orifices, filled with raging fire..."

"Blown up... Blown up..."

"I can't take it anymore, I'm really going to die of anger..."

She repeated these words over and over in a monotonous tone, trying to suggest to herself that she was angry.

The Four Elders watched from the side, looking at each other, all with question marks over their heads.

This... could this work?

The facts proved that it seemed... not very well.

She didn't get angry at all; after muttering for a while, Lin Xiyue instead felt an inexplicable wave of intense drowsiness washing over her.

Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and her consciousness gradually drifted away from the external noise, beginning to sink uncontrollably into the bottomless depths of her spiritual ocean.

The mumbling stopped.

The conference room was silent.

The Four Elders waited for a long time without any movement, then cautiously leaned closer to look.

Well, well.

Her breathing was steady, and she was sleeping soundly.

She actually fell asleep just like that!

The Four Elders collectively turned to stone, looking at each other, wide-eyed, all dumbfounded.

"She... she just fell asleep?" Looking at Lin Xiyue's bizarre behavior, the Third Elder's jaw almost dropped to the floor.

"There wasn't any emotional fluctuation at all. She was like counting sheep before bed, just a few mumbles and she fell asleep..." The Fourth Elder also had a look of utter disbelief.

"Uh... is Girl Yue really okay like this?" The Second Elder looked at the Grand Elder with some uncertainty.

The Grand Elder was silent for a moment, then finally said calmly:

"Trust Little Yue. When it comes to Cultivating, she is the true Genius."

"All we can do is guard her and not let anyone disturb her."

...When Lin Xiyue's consciousness awakened again, she found herself in a strange place.

There was no sky, no ground, and all around was a pure, boundless void.

Everything was hazy and frighteningly silent.

"Is this... my spiritual Sea of Consciousness?"

Lin Xiyue looked around blankly, her small face filled with curiosity and confusion.

She waited here for a long time.

And drifted aimlessly for a long time.

As a result, besides herself, she didn't even find a ghost.

It seemed only she existed here, a loneliness that made one panic.

"What's going on?"

"Where is my Heart Demon?"

"Could it be that I'm too kind, so I don't have a Heart Demon?"

Lin Xiyue began to doubt life.

Others always had Heart Demons sprouting when Cultivating, but why was it so hard for her to even find one?

She was a bit frustrated, and even started muttering to herself in this void.

"Heart Demon, oh Heart Demon, please come out quickly, I beg you, I really need you!"

"Without you, I won't have a tool demon, who will work for me in the future!"

"Come out, I promise to feed you delicious emotions every day, absolutely no abuse..."

Just as she was about to give up muttering.

In the void in front of her, a blurry figure actually began to slowly condense.

Lin Xiyue noticed it immediately!

She instantly stopped muttering, looking over with anticipation.

However, when that figure completely solidified and revealed its true appearance, Lin Xiyue was stunned.

What she saw floating quietly opposite her was another her.

An equally beautiful, incomparably lovely young girl with a world-shaking appearance.

However, the other's temperament was vastly different from hers.

This 'Lin Xiyue' in front of her wore a complex and luxurious purple long dress, upon the hem of which stars seemed to flow, mysterious and distant.

Her temperament was even more extremely cold, carrying an innate nobility and detachment.

That feeling was not like a mortal, but more like a peerless female emperor overlooking eternity and controlling heaven and earth, yet also carrying the solitude of a secluded valley orchid.

Lin Xiyue was momentarily mesmerized.

Oh my goodness!

The her opposite was too beautiful!

This temperament, this beauty, simply amazing!

"You... you are my Heart Demon?!"

"Sister... you are so beautiful!"

"No, I am so beautiful!!!"

After admiring the stunning beauty of her other self for a long time, Lin Xiyue almost drooled shamelessly.

But she quickly reacted, and with a heart full of curiosity and amazement, she asked the other self in front of her.

The purple-clad girl opposite her, with her clear and deep, cold eyes, quietly watched her, without any emotional fluctuations.

After a moment, she finally parted her red lips.

"You can call me Ziyue."

Her voice was clear and ethereal, yet carried a strange texture, devoid of any worldly Qi.

"But strictly speaking, I am not your Heart Demon."

"Your Origin is pure and flawless."

"Therefore, no Heart Demon is destined to be born."

Ziyue calmly stated a fact, then changed the subject.

"But... you just yearned for another self to appear, so I was born."
