As Ye Xiao continued to walk, he soon arrived in front of a floating palace. This palace was not floating in the air but on the surface of the blood ocean. This palace was more like a haunted palace, a demon palace.
Ye Xiao frowned, he used the Eyes of Insight again but this time, the haunted palace did not disappear. It stayed there. But Ye Xiao could see that this palace was also created from formations.
Anyway, since the palace did not disappear, Ye Xiao chose to enter the palace.
The moment Ye Xiao entered the palace, miserable screams could be heard from within as though they were in danger. A silhouette transformed into a stream of light, attempting to leave the Demon Palace, but was struck by a bloody spear from behind, piercing straight through, causing blood to splash out into the air.
"Ye Xiao, save me!"
Xue Xiaofei's body froze, her entire body was drenched in blood as she cried loudly.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment. Even though the surroundings were all illusions, he was unable to see his own woman in this condition. But the moment he started hesitating, Ye Xiao immediately realized that his mind was being affected by the formation once again.
After the sudden realization, the hesitation only lasted for an instant, and then Ye Xiao's expression suddenly became extremely cold. He gave Xue Xiaofei a deep look, then retracted his gaze, and left in big strides.
In the face of Xue Xiaofei being injured and other gurls' fate unknown, Ye Xiao had to have an extremely strong will to be able to ignore everything.
Of course, it wasn't that Ye Xiao wasn't going to save them, it was just that he could see through the illusions with his Eyes of Insight, and it broke the last bit of the illusion in his heart.
"Ye Xiao, why are you so cold-blooded? Why are you not saving us? Don't tell me you have forgotten our relationship. Have you forgotten we are your wives? Have you forgotten your promise? Have you forgotten the time you spent with us?"
Xue Xiaofei's despairing voice sounded out from behind him, shaking his heart. Any cultivator here would feel sympathy for Xue Xiaofei and others.
However, Ye Xiao soon calmed his heart and suppressed the emotions that were about to break out. Ye Xiao's expression turned cold, and not a single ripple could be seen deep within his eyes any longer.
After a moment, Ye Xiao had already gone far away, and the shouts behind him had gradually disappeared. The Demon Palace also disappeared at an unknown time. Maybe, the Demon Palace's only work was to stir the heart demon.
Although Ye Xiao has some regret in his heart not being able to meet his women and spend time with them, but he did not have a heart demon. This must be the reason behind Demon Palace's early disappearance.
As the Demon Palace disappeared, Ye Xiao found himself once again standing in a place with endless corpses. But then, the sea in front of him slowly started fading away, and the endless floating corpses also quickly disappeared.
In the end, Ye Xiao realized that everything had returned to normal. The quiet and peaceful sea, with a drizzle of water falling everywhere.
He turned his head and looked back, only to see no one. His wives were no longer anywhere.
In the illusion world, there was no danger. Everything was about the person who entered. The 'evil' side of human nature, if it was triggered, the path of advancement might just end there.
If not, then there would surely be gains. If one's will is resolute, then one would be able to see human nature more clearly. If one treated this as a fortuitous opportunity, then it would no longer be dangerous.
Ye Xiao finally left and proceeded forward alone!
Following that, he encountered a few more tempting things. There were half-naked beauties that were lightly veiled, emitting an orchid-like fragrance.
However, Ye Xiao was not moved. As someone who had died once, as long as he persevered with his will, nothing would be able to stop him. As a result, he walked even faster in the Sea of Tranquility.
Days after days started passing and very soon, ten days passed.
The test continued one after another and Ye Xiao has no idea when this test will end. He could only continue to pass all the tests one by one.
Ten days later, on the quiet sea surface, Ye Xiao saw a woman wearing a long white dress. She looked like a fairy and stood on the surface of the sea.
One did not even need to look at her face. Just from the aura and charm she exuded, one could tell that she was a peerless beauty who could topple empires.
However, Ye Xiao did not have any thoughts of appreciating it, the back view made him feel a sense of familiarity.
"Ye Xiao, how have you been in recent years?"
Suddenly, the white figure turned around and greeted him.
"Yu Rong!"
The moment he saw the other party's face, for an unknown reason, Ye Xiao's eyes revealed killing intent. He was suddenly reminded of her kind words and then the tests and how she destroyed his future by crippling his Chaos Divine Sea.
Ye Xiao's heart was overwhelmed with hatred, and this hatred seemed to be boosted by something mysterious. Very soon, Ye Xiao even felt as if he had etched Yu Rong in his mind day and night, wanting to find her and kill her.
"It seems that you have become obsessed with me. Do you want revenge? Do you want to kill me?" Yu Rong said in a cold and sorrowful voice.
However, in Ye Xiao's eyes, this woman was too hypocritical. Back then when she tried to train him, thinking that he is the one she and her two senior brothers were looking for. However, when she found out he is not the person destined to walk the path of the First King, she did not hesitate to destroy his future. Her outer appearance was like an orchid in a valley, but her heart was sinister and extremely hypocritical.
"Tell me, why did you destroy my Chaos Divine Sea? Even if I am not the one you all were waiting for, you could have simply told me that and stopped me from advancing on that path. Why do you have to destroy my Chaos Divine Sea?" Ye Xiao shouted coldly, his eyes filled with dense killing intent.
"Didn't I already tell you? Didn't I tell you that you are a very lucky person? Your luck is something that made you easily pass the first trial. We were afraid that your luck might make you become the biggest stone in the true destined one's path, so we decided to kill you. However, later I pitied you. So I decided to not kill you. I only destroyed your Chaos Divine Sea. This way, you could have at least lived an ordinary life. Why do you have to cultivate again?"
"Anyway, what more reason do you want to know? Well, there really is another reason. If you really want to know, then come and fight me. If you can defeat me, I'll tell you." Yu Rong's tone carried a tempting intent, inciting Ye Xiao to attack, his expression revealing a trace of unspeakable strangeness.
Ye Xiao's Chaos Energy and blood rushed to his head with a bang, causing him to be unable to resist rushing over. However, when he saw Yu Rong's evil eyes, he stopped in his tracks, and the surging killing intent in his heart was suppressed by his strong will.
Evil... Yu Rong's eyes were too evil, this should not be her eyes!
Ye Xiao's thoughts were once again preoccupied with reason. Although he was not familiar with Yu Rong and had the least contact with her, he was still familiar with her eyes. She had never shown any evil intent toward him. Even when she destroyed his Chaos Divine Sea, she gave him a way out by telling him about the Second Life Elixiar. It was her who told him he will find the clue about the Second Life Elixiar in the nearest city. If not for her, he would not have gone to the city where Qi Family was located.
The reasonings told Ye Xiao that she could not be the real Yu Rong and he immediately realized that he was affected by the illusion once again. He also realized that Yu Rong had started becoming his heart demon. Fortunately, before she could really become his heart demon, he realized everything.
Now, all he has to do is to truly clean his heart, mind, and soul.
"It's the Sea of Tranquility. It's able to read the memories in my head, copy them out, and use Yufei, Qing'er, Ying, Xue Er, Xiaofei, and even Yu Rong to stimulate my heart demon. Other girls failed, but Yu Rong almost succeeded. If I had made a move just now, the Heart Demon would have really been born and then my mind would have been controlled by my heart demon."
Ye Xiao reacted, revealing a trace of fear. It was really terrifying!
