104: Chapter 104 To save you! This disciple has no choice but to humble myself!

Chen Yan watched in surprise as the golden light beneath his feet dissipated, transforming into a golden stairway that led straight into the depths of the clouds.

Every step was covered in mysterious runes, imbued with a vast aura!

"Nine thousand steps of the Lihuo Immortal Abode, each step a new realm!"

A magnificent, celestial voice resonated throughout the space.

"Only those with a clear Dao Heart and sincere intentions may reach the summit to behold the true Legacy!"

Chen Yan looked at the golden stairway beneath his feet and muttered speechlessly: "Again? This is endless!"

This Lihuo Immortal Abode was not generous at all; to bestow a Legacy Cultivation Technique, it had to create so many twists and turns!

He looked up along the direction of the stairway and was shocked to see many beams of golden light connecting the heavens and the earth.

Figures were moving about on them; clearly, some people had already begun to challenge this second trial!

Looking at the dense crowd of heads, Chen Yan couldn't help but click his tongue: "There are way too many people passing the trial, aren't there?"

Leng Qingshuang looked at his expression and laughed softly: "Now do you realize just how many Prodigies there are in this world?"

Chen Yan curled his lips but did not refute her. He never considered himself a Prodigy.

If not for the System, even if he had undergone Transmigration, he would be nothing more than a common fish in the river of the cultivation Dao! Just another face in the crowd!

He turned his head to look at Leng Qingshuang, sensing that her aura was unstable. He understood in his heart that the impact of her shattered Dao Heart had not yet completely dissipated!

He smiled slightly at his Revered Master, tightly gripping her hand, their fingers interlaced. "Revered Master, this Disciple will help you up."

Leng Qingshuang's delicate body trembled as she felt the heat in her Rebellious Disciple's palm. Remembering the wedding ceremony between them in the illusion just now, a faint blush quietly crept up to the tips of her ears.

If it were truly the Rebellious Disciple in the illusion... Pfft! Leng Qingshuang! How could you have such thoughts? With family vengeance yet to be avenged, how can you speak of love!

Even if it were the Rebellious Disciple... even if he... it would have to wait... wait until everything is over...

Chen Yan held Leng Qingshuang's hand, his heart filled with heartache. "Why are Revered Master's hands so cold today? Could it be that she was truly injured in the illusion just now?"

"Could it be that, just like me, she saw herself marrying someone else in the illusion? Was she so angry that it affected her heart?"

"I don't care, Revered Master can only be mine! If she is to marry, it must be to me! I said so!"

He quietly slowed his pace, leaning closer to his Revered Master, sniffing the fragrance wafting from her body, unable to help but feel refreshed and delighted.

Leng Qingshuang naturally noticed the Rebellious Disciple's small movements. However, she only pursed her lips and made no other move!

[Detected Rebellious Disciple behavior from the host, rebellious value + 1485!]

Chen Yan curled his lips, feeling somewhat disdainful. Can this rebellious value be exchanged for favorability? Waiting online, super urgent!

He pulled Leng Qingshuang and stepped onto the first stair together! Boom! An invisible pressure instantly enveloped them both! It struck directly at their Divine Soul, questioning their inner hearts.

Chen Yan stood still, but in his mind, strange images emerged. Endless Spirit Stones piled into mountains; beauties surrounding him like clouds; red lights and green wine, luxurious and lascivious... every single one of them was what everyone yearned for in their hearts!

But Chen Yan sneered, waved his hand casually, and everything instantly vanished into thin air! Is that it?

Compared to the heart-tempering of the illusion, this trial tested one's willpower. But who was Chen Yan? A member of the Transmigration army!

In that era of information explosion on Blue Star, what kind of scenes hadn't he seen? He had a terabyte of torrents of movies even more lascivious and luxurious than this on his computer!

You're trying to test a cadre with this stuff now? If you don't know how, I can teach you! This is absolutely a dimension-reduction strike!

He looked up at the others on the stairway. He saw countless Prodigy Disciples, struggling with every step they took on the stairs.

Some were covered in sweat, their eyes dazed, their faces pale; some were bleeding from their seven orifices, their aura weak, teetering on the edge. Some even lay directly on the stairs, their eyes lifeless, unable to move!

Chen Yan felt a wave of disdain in his heart. Tsk, tsk, tsk~ They are all just little fledglings who haven't seen the world!

He turned his head to look at Leng Qingshuang, intending to clown around with his Revered Master and show off his might. But he saw Leng Qingshuang with her eyes tightly closed, a layer of fine sweat seeping from her forehead. Her breathing was rapid, and her aura was rising and falling erratically!

"Revered Master?" Chen Yan whispered, seemingly unable to understand why his Revered Master had been broken by this small psychological test!

Little did he know. After Leng Qingshuang's Way of Emotionless Dao Heart shattered, her Divine Soul defense was already weak. The higher the cultivation, the more severe the erosion of the Heart Demon!

She had fallen from the Mahayana Stage to the Nascent Soul, and the Heart Demon had been looking for gaps all along! Those repressed emotions, her feelings for the Rebellious Disciple, her hatred for her enemies. Everything, absolutely everything, had turned into a Heart Demon, surging forth.

Now, having encountered the illusion and the questioning of the Dao one after another, her already weak Divine Soul was on the verge of being breached by the Heart Demon!

Leng Qingshuang was anxious in her heart, yet helpless! The Heart Demon Tribulation, the Heart Demon Tribulation! She never expected it to come at this critical moment!

Chen Yan sensed something was wrong immediately! "Xuantian Appraisal Technique!" [Divine Soul weak, Heart Demon invading, need to disperse inner thoughts, can temporarily alleviate Heart Demon erosion.]

Heart Demon invasion? Chen Yan was shocked. He naturally knew how dangerous the Heart Demon was for a Cultivator! One wrong step, and it would be eternal damnation!

What to do? How should he help his Revered Master? Disperse inner thoughts? But how to disperse them?

He looked at the frowning Leng Qingshuang, and suddenly an idea came to him. He didn't know how to disperse them, but changing the thoughts in his Revered Master's mind should work, right?

Immediately, he leaned over, lowered his voice, and whispered in his Revered Master's ear: "Revered Master, look at that person in front, taking two steps forward and one step back, their legs clamped together as if they can't hold it in, they look like they have kidney deficiency!"

"And that woman, crying and wailing, her makeup is all ruined; the image in her mind couldn't be that she can't get married, right?"

"And that one lying on the ground, unable to move at all, yet still trying to crawl up, shaking all over like they have Parkinson's!"

These lewd words, like a mudslide, forcefully swept away all the gloom in Leng Qingshuang's heart! Her originally tightly furrowed brows were instantly smoothed out.

In her mind, the images the Rebellious Disciple mentioned involuntarily emerged. She couldn't help but want to laugh, yet felt it was undignified. She could only press her lips together tightly, forcing herself to endure it.

But Chen Yan saw his Revered Master suddenly clenching her teeth, looking as if she were struggling in pain. His heart skipped a beat! Oh no! It backfired!

Could I have led my Revered Master into a trap? Could it be that instead of helping my Revered Master, I have harmed her? What to do? What to do?

If Revered Master gets hurt because of this, I won't be able to forgive myself! He watched as Leng Qingshuang began to tremble all over, and his heart became even more anxious! Looking at his Revered Master's tightly pursed red lips!

A bold idea instantly appeared in his mind! "Revered Master! I'm sorry! To save you! This Disciple has no choice but to sacrifice myself!"

He held Leng Qingshuang's shoulders, took a deep breath, and quickly pressed his lips onto hers! [Detected Rebellious Disciple behavior from the host, rebellious value + 6666!] [Favorability + 5!]
