Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
By the lake, Yuchi looked at the trembling body in his arms and was slightly puzzled.

Then, for Yu Shengyun’s own good, he pulled Yu Shengyun’s soul back to reality.
When he saw Yu Shengyun opening her eyes slowly with tears in her eyes, he asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? You’re asking me what’s wrong?”
Yu Shengyun was crying.
She was acting like a child.
She was frightened.
Yu Shengyun hugged Yuchi tightly and buried herself in his chest, crying.
Heaven and hell were separated by a sea of clouds!
If one were to stand above the clouds, then it would be impossible to tell that there was something wrong with Yuchi’s sea of consciousness.
However, when they went below the sea of clouds, all hell broke loose, literally!
All kinds of indescribable monsters that had completely lost their minds ran amok.
Yu Shengyun was just an outsider who was observing Yuchi’s sea of consciousness.
Even so, she felt that she could not bear the great destruction being wrought within his sea of consciousness.
The scene of monsters tearing at each other, and dyeing the landscape red with blood would linger in her mind for a long time.
Even now, thinking back, she clearly recalled that there was a monster with more than 20 hands. The monster had already rotted, and its body was full of all kinds of maggots.

Even worse, this thing was throwing those maggots into its mouth!
Its laughter was filled with madness.
She even remembered that there was a dragon that was riddled with holes!
Yu Shengyun had seen its rotten heart beating underneath its ribs and the pressure it exerted on the sea of consciousness when it moved around!
It was a scene straight out of hell!
Yu Shengyun was sure that if any of those monsters entered her sea of consciousness, even if it was the weakest one, her sea of consciousness would be completely contaminated. She did not have the confidence that she could suppress it.
She would go crazy eventually!
She had already reached the first grade of the Dao realm. If she could not suppress it, then how did Yuchi suppress it back then?
Was he a demon?
There were so many ghosts and monsters in his mind, but he looked just fine.
The more Yu Shengyun thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt and the more her heart ached.
She could not hold back her tears, and cried until her face was red.
Her tears rolled down her cheeks and wet Yuchi’s clothes.
Yuchi was confused.
“What’s wrong? Why are you crying like this?”
Yuchi did not know what had happened to Yu Shengyun. How did she become like this after entering his sea of consciousness?
Did he see something incredible, or did she simply want to vent the emotions that she had been suppressing for a long time?
“Uh, then, go ahead and vent your emotions.”
“It’s fine to vent a little.”
“I won’t think less of you just because you’re crying now.”
Yu Shengyun kept wiping her tears away.
She choked a few times. She wanted to hit the man in front of her, but she held back.
Finally, she asked, “Have you not seen the demons and ghosts in your sea of consciousness?!”
To Yu Shengyun, it was impossible for her to be wrong. There were definitely many dangers in Yuchi’s mind.
If any of these dangers were to appear in her mind, she would definitely not be able to withstand it. Her cultivation would definitely be greatly damaged.
A question appeared in Yu Shengyun’s mind, ‘Didn’t Yuchi feel any fear?’
‘Could it be that Yuchi didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with having so many demons and ghosts living in his mind?’
Yuchi understood what Yu Shengyun meant.
So this was what she was talking about.
His answer was straightforward, “I have.”
Mmm.
Okay, he knew.
Then what?
Yuchi looked at Yu Shengyun with a puzzled look.
Yu Shengyun’s eyes widened.
Was that it? Where was the explanation?
“Heavens!”
“You’re aware that there are so many demons and ghosts living in your sea of consciousness, but you’re still so calm?”
“Aren’t you worried that these demons and ghosts will suddenly go berserk one day and destroy your sea of consciousness?”
Yu Shengyun really wanted to return to her original three-meter height, then jump up and stomp on Yuchi’s feet.
This fool!
Why was he being so nonchalant about it?
“Oh, I think I understand what you’re getting at.”
Yuchi was still very calm.
“I’m not afraid.”
“They lack intelligence and the capacity for thinking.”
“Why should I be afraid of such simple evil creatures?”
Yu Shengyun’s eyes were wide open. She did not know how to respond to that.
To Yuchi, the matter was quite simple.
During those years, when he killed these ancient beings in the Netherworld Sea prison, they would enter his sea of consciousness and strengthen his body. It seemed like a good thing, but in reality, the ancient beings were eating away at his mind, which took some time to recover from.
At that time, he had been consumed by their hatred, and had appeared a little crazy, like a poor person suffering from a mental illness.
However, after some time, he understood.
People had two sides; the good side and the bad side.
Even the most pious person would not dare to say that he had done nothing wrong.
Who did not have their own little secrets?
If one’s state of mind did not experience trials and tribulations, how would one cultivate it?
He just had to rely on his own cultivation and mental fortitude to suppress it.
It was no big deal.
It was just like Yuchi right now, who was able to calmly roam around with Yu Shengyun to see the flowers.
Although he was not exactly a normal person, at least he was not a lunatic who tried to kill himself and abused himself for fun like before.
After slowly getting used to it, Yuchi had already regarded the malice of these ancient beings as part and parcel of his tempering experience.
Therefore, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with these demons and ghosts in his mind. After all, he was a living creature with both good and evil thoughts in his mind.
Who did not have some sort of demon hiding in a closet?
This was very normal.
Therefore, when Yu Shengyun entered his mind, he subconsciously felt that there was nothing to hide. The demons and ghosts in his sea of consciousness were something that he had accepted and lived with.
It was fine for him, but for Yu Shengyun, it was completely different.
