Psyche Break

A psyche break is a kind of deviation in which a cultivator's mind is damaged, typically due to a traumatic event. Such deviations can lead to heart demons, or if serious enough could result in outright "Demonification" where a part of the subconscious takes control and the cultivator becomes a slave to their bases desiresChapter 23 - Ha Yun POV.
This kind of deviation is especially bad before manifesting a Nascent Soul.
