Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!-Chapter 253 Imminent Danger!
"It has started!" Elysia notified Noah when she sensed the resonance between the laws of nature and Xin Yan.
Her eyes stayed on the black-haired woman, filled with caution. Just like when Noah went through his tribulations, Elysia remained ready to make her move at any time necessary.
Just like her, Noah looked through his memory to find something that could help him before being ready for any scenario, just in case.
It did not take long before Xin Yan's aura grew stronger and stronger. Soul energy pulsed on the surface of her body from one part to another.
With each pulse, the area covered by the soul energy started to increase bit by bit.
Even though the advancement was going very slowly, Noah could tell it was going on smoothly.
But that did not last for long. Xin Yan's aura suddenly started trembling. The calm and serene growth of her soul energy became erratic and went out of control.
Seeing Xin Yan still deep in her cultivation, Noah guessed that she was having an encounter with her mental demon at the moment.
The signs of a frown on her face also indicated that she was having some problems.
'You have to get through this,' Elysia thought but kept her lips sealed. Her thoughts mirrored the concern in her eyes.
Noah did not have any intentions of making a move, as going through tribulations was something everyone should do on their own. Dealing with their demons in the start is the best way to prevent them from reoccurring.
But his face turned into a frown when Xin Yan suddenly released a malevolent aura filled with anger and cruelty.
Elysia turned to see if Noah could help her in any way.
'Should I interfere…' Noah gritted his teeth in anxiety. He could not stop thinking about helping Xin Yan deal with her mental demons, but even he did not know much about mental demons to stop them.
The only thing he knew about them was similar to what others know, that the inner demons are the manifestation of someone's subconscious mind.
Each inner demon differs from the other. They all attack on the very spot where the person is vulnerable. The demon wants the person to follow the desire that has taken a hold in their mind.
For instance, if someone wants to kill a person, the mental demon would amplify the desire and make the person want to kill everyone in their sight.
If a guy wants a woman, whom he lusts after, the demon would tempt the guy into chasing after that girl and making her his own, but that won't be all it would also make the person go after any other girl he would eventually come to fancy.
One after another, the cycle continues!
If someone falls prey to their inner demon, they will be controlled by it for all of their lives unless they find a way to deal with it, but if they manage to resist the demon and breakthrough, the person will have a smooth journey ahead.
…
Noah used his soul sense to cover Xin Yan's entire body. Noticing that it was not enough, he forced his way through her Soul realm with a strand of his own soul sense.
Someone as strong as Xin Yan naturally had her ways of protecting her consciousness and soul, but to Noah who was further affected by the Soul Blossoming Lotus, it was as easy as opening an already unlocked door.
As soon as he entered, Noah was welcomed by a vast sea in the middle of which, Xin Yan's adult Soul sat in her meditating position. Your next read is at novelbuddy.com
Noah also noticed Elysia using the laws of her own world to manifest in the consciousness.
It seemed like she could not move or do anything besides observing.
*Rumble!!*
The lightning in the sky of the soul realm started preparing for the strike, causing both Noah and Elysia to frown.
Since she was facing her Inner Demon, Xin Yan could not move herself to deal with the incoming thunderstrike.
*Crackle!*
Noah felt the pressure building up in the air when the lightning started to charge itself, preparing to strike.
He felt the difference at this very moment!
The very first strike that Xin Yan was about to face had the strength to destroy the last strike he faced in his tribulations easily.
He could feel his instincts telling him that if he let the lightning attack him, he would get damage to his soul.
Only an idiot would do something like letting themselves be struck by lightning…. Then again cultivators had to do this for their lives.
*Boom!*
Right before Noah's eyes, the first lightning descended on Xin Yan's astral body.
The soul stayed in its original place, barely moving, causing Noah to breathe a sigh of relief.
It was not that there were no damages to the souls, several parts of the soul seemed to have been chipped by the strike in different places.
But the fact that the damage was minimal, the souls immediately healed themselves as the cultivation technique Xin Yan was using helped her with it.
Ice shards replaced the chipped-away places and healed the soul, leaving no traces of damage.
*Crackle!* *Crrrkkk!!*
But before Noah could rejoice any further, another lightning strike started to prepare itself to strike downwards.
Noah just hoped that Xin Yan could do something about the inner demon before the strikes became too strong for her to handle without making a move.

"Are you here because I let my son die?" back in the empty dark subconsciousness of Xin Yan's mind.
Two women with almost identical features stood face to face with each other. One seemed to be impatient while the other seemed happy about something.
"Come on, at least say something that you believe in yourself. Don't forget that we both have our memories intact," the inner demon seemed irritated at Xin Yan about something. " You know that I have access to all of your memories. Had you released your bindings to help your son he would have been killed another way…"
Xin Yan tried to open her mouth to speak, but no words escaped her mouth. She lowered her head in admittance.
If she had released her restrictions, she would have been noticed by the same person who sent her here to rot in the lower realms.
"You know the answer deep down. Look for it deep in your heart," the demon's voice suddenly became hollow and obsessive at the same time. " The thing that your subconscious mind wants to do all the time. More than killing your husband and going back. What is the one thing that you are suppressing in your heart!"
Its screaming let the craziness flow on its face, black strands of energy pulsed from its body moving in the opposite direction towards Xin Yan.
Before they could touch Xin Yan, the strands vanished on their own, including the ones that were excluded from its body.
Seeing that sight, the demon did not show any signs of panic, but it smiled instead.
Xin Yan, who saw the smile, widened her eyes a little, realizing what she had missed before.
