Heart-devil

Heart-devil (心魔 xinmo), inner demon
== Story ==
*Being hit by lightning was nothing to Long Chen, so he didn't care if it really happened. But to an ordinary cultivator, this could cause a heart-devil during tribulation, and it was one of the most frightening oaths.
*Yin Luo is killed by his own heart-devil.
*In dual cultivation, being tricked could result in the formation of a heart devil.
== Description ==
“If you encounter a bottleneck, it means you’ve cultivated too quickly, and that your cultivation base has far exceeded your mental realm. If you forcibly break through, it will become a heart-devil. When it comes to this point, you should believe your Elders. I’m sure they’ve already told you this. That’s why many experts will tell you to go into seclusion and calmly meditate to increase your mental realm. This is a very traditional cultivation method. However, I don’t fully approve of this method. When my brothers run into bottlenecks, I will tell them to stop cultivating and go do whatever they want to do. Some go fishing, some go drinking, and some even go fighting with others. Some might even go begging on the streets. They forget that they are a cultivator and return to their roots. The goal of seclusion is to forcibly calm yourself, and this method is more suited to seniors who have experienced everything that they want out of life. As for youngsters, our hearts are naturally restless, so trying to forcibly calm ourselves will be twice as hard. Doing what you want to do will allow you to reach the realm of forgetting yourself. In truth, the goal is the same as going into seclusion, but there is an immense difference in effects. At the very least, in my Dragonblood Legion, people rarely run into bottlenecks because our mental realms far surpass our cultivation bases,” said Long Chen.
This method of Long Chen’s made the disciples cheer. This was their first time they had heard of someone combining cultivation with playing. There was no need to be so grave and inflexible.
Although they didn’t know whether this method was effective for them, at the very least, the Dragonblood Legion was the strongest legion in the Martial Heaven Alliance. They had over ten thousand people who never ran into bottlenecks, so this method had to be effective on at least some people. They had an urge to go try it immediately.
