The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1823 - 1819: Fellow Travelers

Shen Luo furrowed his brows, preparing to drive the Hongming Saber to break through the inky shadow when a strange heat suddenly entered the saber and, along the Divine Sense Mark within the blade, invaded Shen Luo’s mind.

This all happened as fast as lightning; he had no time to stop it before the strange heat intruded into his mind.

Suddenly, Shen Luo’s body inexplicably heated up, his heart pounding fiercely as if it were about to explode, and before his eyes appeared various illusory memories, throwing him into a nightmare from which he couldn’t wake up.

"Heart Demon!" he was startled, hastily using the Suppressing God Technique to steady his mind.

The Suppressing God Technique was extremely effective against ordinary illusion attacks, but it fell short against heart demons. Fortunately, as he had upgraded to the Taiyi realm, his Soul Power had greatly increased, enhancing his ability to resist heart demons. The illusion of the heart demon quickly dissipated, and his body returned to normal.

However, due to this delay, the golden cloud transformed by the Jin Jian had already disappeared into the distant horizon, and it was impossible to catch up.

"Fire Daoist friend, just now the strange heat from within the inky shadow seemed to be a Heart Demon Method." Shen Luo did not pursue further but put away the Profound Yellow Staff and the Hongming Saber, looking towards where the Jin Jian had disappeared, transmitting to communicate with the Fire Spirit Child.

"No mistake, it was indeed a Heart Demon Method, likely the work of Dragon Tooth and Qing Qing." The Fire Spirit Child chuckled as if very excited.

"Why are you happy encountering those two?" Shen Luo asked in confusion.

"Young Master Shen, you really lack perception. Although those two are nothing extraordinary, the Heart Demon Method in their hands is a wonderful treasure. The Demon Clan’s Heart Demon Method is exceedingly profound. It both utilizes the method of heart demons and has God’s Power to restrain heart demons. If you can obtain it, it will be highly beneficial for your future progression to the Heavenly Venerate Realm." The Fire Spirit Child explained.

"The Heart Demon Method aids in advancing to the Heavenly Venerate Realm?" Shen Luo raised an eyebrow.

"Naturally! Advancing to the Heavenly Venerate Realm has no thunder tribulation for cleansing, but there is a heart tribulation, and among heart tribulations, the heart demon tribulation is the most challenging. Countless monks throughout history have been blocked by this difficulty, unable to step into the Heavenly Venerate Realm. Yuan Tiangang, on the day he broke through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, used the Lingbao Blocking Three Disasters Method. In principle, it involves sealing the heart demon within a powerful treasure, temporarily cutting off the heart demon with the Lingbao Blocking Three Disasters Method to seize the opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm." The Fire Spirit Child elaborated.

Listening to this, Shen Luo’s knowledge greatly expanded, silently praising the Fire Spirit Child for its extensive knowledge beyond his own reach.

However, he had upgraded to the Heavenly Venerate Realm within the Dream World and did not experience much heart demon interference at that time; perhaps it was related to his Dao Body in the Dream World?

Another possibility was that his existence in the Dream World was from a thousand years ago, nearly rootless in that world, so perhaps there was no heart demon interference.

"If the Lingbao Blocking Three Disasters Method can resist heart demons, why seek the Heart Demon Method? My relationship with Yuan Tiangang is good. If I ask for that secret technique, he probably wouldn’t refuse, and I have plenty of treasures to execute this method." Shen Luo transmitted in response.

"Though the Lingbao Blocking Three Disasters Method is ingenious, it is a deceptive way, only temporarily pacifying one’s heart demon. It’s akin to drinking poison to quench thirst. Even if you manage to survive the Heavenly Venerate Tribulation by luck, the heart demon will only grow stronger when advancing to the Great Heavenly Venerate Realm." Fire Spirit Child shook its head.

"So that’s the case." Shen Luo raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Therefore, encountering Dragon Tooth and Qing Qing again is a rare opportunity. Both have very weak cultivation levels. Next time, you must obtain the Heart Demon Method from them; you must not miss this chance." Fire Spirit Child advised.

"I will do my best." Shen Luo quietly replied.

At this moment, a cheer erupted from below; it was the Dragon Palace People from East Sea Dragon Palace cheering enthusiastically, seeing him severely injure a strong foe.

Ao Hong, Nie Caizhu, and others flew over. Ao Hong’s complexion had recovered, seemingly no longer in any distress.

"Brother Shen, it’s been a while. I didn’t expect your God’s Power to advance to such a degree, admirable." Ao Hong praised.

"Brother Ao is too kind; your upgrade to the Taiyi realm is still unstable, and you can’t fully exhibit your strength. Once your realm stabilizes, the Jin Jian is not an opponent for you either." Shen Luo laughed lightly.

Ao Hong shook his head. He did not exert all his strength just now, but the Jin Jian was immensely powerful, already capable of using Law Powers, and even if he fully stepped into the Taiyi Realm, he would still win less than he would lose.

Although a strong enemy had retreated, the threat from the Demon Alliance had not disappeared. Ao Hong immediately ordered the strengthening of defenses across the Dragon Palace to guard against any demon alliance attacks.

All prohibitions across the palace were activated, and layers upon layers of light curtains soon enveloped the entire palace, appearing as solid as gold and stone.

Seeing this, Shen Luo nodded slightly.

"Brother Shen, I still need a few days to stabilize my realm, so looking for the East Sea Abyss will be delayed a bit." After handling these trivial matters, Ao Hong said to Shen Luo and others.

"No problem, this matter is not urgent." Shen Luo did not press, later offering Ao Hong some advice on things to watch for when first entering the Taiyi realm.

Afterward, Ao Hong offered his thanks and went back into seclusion for cultivation, while Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu also returned to the East Sea’s Other Garden to meditate.

Three days flew by, and Ao Hong arrived at the gates. His entire aura was fully collected, clearly indicating that his foundation had thoroughly stabilized.

"The East Sea Dragon Palace indeed has profound depth, stabilizing the realm in just three days, impressive." Shen Luo said in slight surprise.

"It wasn’t my doing, but all thanks to the Ancestral Dragon Soul’s assistance." Ao Hong shook his head slightly.

"Young Master Shen, you handed over that half of the Ancestor Dragon Horn to Ao Hong; how unreasonable!" the glowing light at Ao Hong’s brow flashed, and the Ancestral Dragon Soul appeared, staring angrily at Shen Luo.

The form of the Ancestral Dragon Soul was much more corporeal than before, showing signs of turning from intangible to tangible, clearly due to refining that half-dragon horn.

"Your Excellency, the Ancestral Dragon, has already obtained half of the dragon horn. Why covet the other half?" Shen Luo smiled.

The Ancestral Dragon Soul, quite apprehensive of Shen Luo and bound by their contract, snorted discontentedly and fell silent.

"I’ve agreed to Your Excellency’s requests. Now you should tell me where the East Sea Abyss is, right?" Shen Luo inquired.

"Of course, I’ll go with you." The Ancestral Dragon Soul replied.

"You want to come along as well?" Shen Luo raised an eyebrow.

"Certainly, the East Sea Abyss is extremely unpredictable. Without someone to guide you, even if I tell you the location, you won’t be able to get in." The Ancestral Dragon Soul explained.

"It’s wonderful to have the Ancestral Dragon Elder accompany us, but if you are coming, should Ao Hong join as well? The situation within the East Sea Dragon Palace is not yet stable, Brother Ao, can you leave?" Shen Luo’s face lit up with joy, then he turned to Ao Hong.

"I have already instructed the East Sea Dragon Palace to consolidate forces and defend the palace. There should be no issue in the short term. Moreover, our journey is still within the Eastern Sea Region, and I can return immediately if there is any trouble at the palace." Ao Hong replied.

Only after hearing this did Shen Luo feel at ease.

"By the way, Elder Ancestral Dragon, before I asked you about the origins of the East Sea Abyss and the Beiming Giant Scale, you only mentioned the East Sea Abyss. Do you know what the Beiming Giant Scale is?" He recalled something and asked.
