Gu Qingxue's Inner Demon Tribulation, a protagonist in the "Broken Engagement&q

Perhaps it was because Lu Yuan had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and his power was too great, or perhaps it was some kind of secret expectation in her heart.

Gu Qingxue's makeup today was more refined than usual, with a touch of cinnabar between her eyebrows, adding a touch of earthy charm to her originally aloof and otherworldly temperament, making her seem like a celestial being descended to earth, yet willing to fall into the mortal world for love.

"Your humble servant congratulates my husband on attaining the Dao and becoming a deity!"

Gu Qingxue bowed gracefully, her voice soft and charming. Her usually cold eyes were now like a pool of spring water, gazing at Lu Yuan with deep affection.

Get up.

Lu Yuan reached out to support her, and a gentle magical force lifted her up.

With a flick of his sleeve, the emerald-green, translucent Biluo Huangquan Sword floated in front of Gu Qingxue.

"This sword is called Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs. It is a low-grade spiritual treasure. I see that you use swords often, so this treasure is perfect for you."

As he spoke, he took out another jade slip, which was the very book "The Great Void Dividing Light Sword".

"Also, take this top-grade Heaven-rank sword technique and practice it as well. With this sword and this technique, you will have the strength to fight against a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."

Gu Qingxue looked at the spiritual treasures and cultivation techniques floating in front of her, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

Spiritual treasures are hard to come by, and Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques are even rarer. Her husband always gives her the best of everything.

"Thank you for your kindness, my husband."

She put away the treasure, but did not retreat. Instead, she moved gracefully to stand in front of Lu Yuan.

She raised her head, two captivating blushes rising on her stunningly beautiful face, her pearly teeth gently biting her lower lip, as if she had mustered immense courage.

"My husband has just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, while my cultivation is still shallow, and I still have many things I don't understand about the Nascent Soul path."

"I wonder if my husband...would you be willing to guide me further, and...cultivate together and discuss the Dao?"

After saying that, her cheeks were burning hot, and even her ears were red.

As the head of a sect, it was already her limit to say such things.

Looking at the captivating sight of her, ready to be picked at will, Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with a smile.

He didn't say much, but simply reached out and gently embraced her slender waist, pulling her into his arms.

Inside the cave, the restrictions were activated.

The five elements circulate and yin and yang harmonize.

Lu Yuan used his pure Yang Dao body origin at the Nascent Soul stage to guide the Yin power within Gu Qingxue's body.

Every fusion of souls, every cleansing of spiritual energy, is a transformative experience for Gu Qingxue.

The feedback from the origin of the divine is immense.

Gu Qingxue felt that her golden core was undergoing some kind of mysterious transformation. The originally solid bottleneck was as fragile as paper under the impact of Lu Yuan's vast and boundless magical power.

Her cultivation level is improving rapidly.

Golden Core Perfection... Half-step Nascent Soul.

After an unknown amount of time, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Gu Qingxue nestled lazily in Lu Yuan's arms, her internal energy reaching a critical point.

She was truly only a thin veil away from reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, thanks to the perfect fusion of the Taiyin Yin body and the Pure Yang Dao body, her foundation is far more solid than that of ordinary people. Even without taking the Nascent Soul Pill, she has a more than 90% chance of breaking through the nascent soul and forming a nascent soul.

More importantly, what she condenses will be the legendary Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

"My lord, I feel... I'm about to break through," Gu Qingxue said softly, her voice filled with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

"Go," Lu Yuan said gently, stroking her hair. "You can cultivate in seclusion in my cave. There's a spirit-gathering array I set up here, and remnants of the Five Elements' essence. It's the perfect place for your breakthrough."

"Um."

Gu Qingxue nodded obediently, got up, straightened her clothes, walked to the cold jade bed deep in the cave, sat down cross-legged, and began to adjust her breathing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Lu Yuan did not leave, but sat aside to protect him.

time flies.

Midnight arrived quietly.

Lu Yuan spared a sliver of his mind to summon the system interface.

[Ding, daily intelligence update.]

Three new pieces of intelligence slowly emerged.

[Blue Intelligence: Xiao Fan, the chosen one of destiny, will, at Chenshi (7-9 AM) today, in the Netherworld Dungeon, take advantage of the most intense Nine Nether Winds to endure the excruciating pain of having his bones scraped, thoroughly cleanse his physical body, and forcibly break the second shackle of the Ancient Sacred Body.]

[White Intelligence: Gu Qingxue will attempt to break through her core and form a nascent soul today. When she undergoes the Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation, she will encounter enormous psychological obstacles, resulting in damage to her mind and spirit.]

Without external intervention, although she could barely survive the tribulation, she could only condense a mediocre Nascent Soul, thus obstructing her path to the Great Dao.

Note: The root of her inner demon tribulation lies in an old incident from her youth. The Gu family had arranged a marriage for her with the holy son of the Taiyi Sect, a Nascent Soul sect in the neighboring Great Yan Kingdom of Zhao.

Gu Qingxue, devoted to the Dao, forcibly annulled her engagement. This led to the Gu family being targeted and suppressed by the Holy Son, causing the family to plummet in status. Gu Qingxue felt guilty towards her family as a result, and this incident became her greatest weakness.

[White Intelligence: The person Gu Qingxue rejected back then was named Ye Chen. He is also a chosen one, possessing great opportunities.]

He had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage ten years ago and succeeded as the leader of the Taiyi Sect.

Taiyi Sect is the only Nascent Soul sect in the Great Yan Kingdom. It is a top-tier power in the second tier in the Eastern Wilderness Dao Domain, with profound foundations.

Ye Chen still harbors feelings for Gu Qingxue and is deeply attached to her. After learning that Gu Qingxue is now the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, he plans to visit her at the sect, hoping to rekindle their past romance.

After reading these three pieces of intelligence, a cold glint flashed in Lu Yuan's originally calm eyes.

Xiao Fan was still bouncing around there, breaking the second shackle.

He does have some perseverance. However, this only makes him, like a leek, grow a little stronger.

What truly concerned Lu Yuan were the last two pieces of information.

Gu Qingxue's inner demons.

And then there's Ye Chen, who supposedly had a marriage agreement with Gu Qingxue.

A Nascent Soul cultivator, a chosen one, and the leader of the Taiyi Sect.

"The protagonist of the 'Broken Engagement' genre."

A chillingly mocking smile curled at the corners of Lu Yuan's lips.

If things had gone according to the original script, Ye Chen would probably have been following the "Don't underestimate a young man's potential" trope, rising against all odds to achieve success and fame, and now he would want to get revenge or win back Gu Qingxue.

pity.

He was late.

Gu Qingxue was already Lu Yuan's Daoist partner, and she was his person.

"I want to rekindle our relationship."

Lu Yuan glanced at Gu Qingxue, who was meditating with her eyes closed not far away, preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

"That depends on whether you have the fate to leave the Qingyun Sect alive."

As for Gu Qingxue's inner demons...

Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

Inner demons are the most hidden pain in a cultivator's heart, and are extremely difficult for outsiders to interfere with.

If left to develop unchecked, it will only condense into a Nascent Soul, which would be a great pity for Gu Qingxue, who possesses the Taiyin Body.

"It seems I'll have to resort to some extraordinary measures when she undergoes her tribulation later."

Lu Yuan immediately had a solution in mind.
