The Inner Demon That Feeds on Karmic Debt

"Let's go find the immortals. Ordinary people in Liyue need to reason with them, but immortals don't. Besides, the Liyue Qixing of Liyue might have a misunderstanding of the Geo Archon's strength, but the immortals won't. Letting them judge whether you have the right to commit violence is definitely the most appropriate thing to do," Chen Luo said, arms crossed.

"Okay, I understand. Let's set off quickly and deliver the undistorted information to the immortals before the Liyue Qixing's messenger arrives." Lumine nodded.

"..." Chen Luo fell silent for a moment after hearing Lumine's words.

Chen Luo wondered whether he should tell Lumine that he was the messenger of the Liyue Qixing.

But Chen Luo saw Lumine's request to find an immortal, and didn't say anything.

Lumine, or rather, Traveler, all have one advantage: they like to do things themselves.

Although they will issue commissions, they will also carry them out themselves after issuing them, meaning they will accompany Chen Luo on his quest for immortality.

So... Chen Luo decided to shut up.

"They're over there! That blond stranger! And the white floating thing over there!" Just as Lumine and Chen Luo were walking towards the path leading to Jueyun Karst, a group of Millelith suddenly rushed out.

"Who's the white floating object!" Paimon shouted angrily at the Millelith.

"Run!" Lumine grabbed Paimon's little hand and ran forward quickly.

What are you shouting for? If you shout again, you'll be caught.

"Remember to call me after you escape the pursuit." Chen Luo waved to Lumine from where he stood.

Aren't you going to run?

"Why should I run? I'm not wanted." Chen Luo shrugged as he watched Lumine run and turn her head.

"..." Lumine pouted and continued running forward.

Chen Luo is right; it is indeed himself who is wanted.

Although Chen Luo said that Chen Luo had also committed a crime and needed to be fined a huge sum of money.

But Lumine doesn't think this huge sum can really exceed 10 million Mora.

Chen Luo now has 1.5 billion.

Why are you running away? It's just a fine, right? I'll pay 100 times the amount!

"Who... who are you people?" The group of Millelith paused briefly as they passed Chen Luo, then left only four or five men with their weapons pointed at him, ignoring the others, and continued chasing Lumine forward.

This was not a pre-arranged order, but rather a tacit understanding developed over time.

"I..." Chen Luo was about to explain.

"Alright, let's ignore him. This is a messenger sent by Lord Ningguang to inform the immortals. Although we don't know why he's with a wanted criminal, we don't need to worry about it." Chen Luo was about to explain when he was interrupted by a man who looked like the leader of the Millelith.

Chen Luo turned his head and saw that this was the same Millelith leader who had reported Lumine's escape to Ningguang and issued a warrant for Lumine's arrest.

The leader of the Millelith wasn't stupid either. He gleaned something from Ningguang and Chen Luo's conversation, so he took the people who were originally meant to guard and question Chen Luo and continued chasing after Lumine.

Those who reach the top ranks of the Millelith are unlikely to have low emotional intelligence.

"What should we do now?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked, turning his head.

"Well, while Lumine is on her way, let's go and pay another visit to Cloud Retainer," Chen Luo said after a moment of contemplation.

It would take Lumine some time to get to Jueyun Karst. The reason Chen Luo didn't use the Herrscher of Knowledge's ability to help Lumine was mainly because Chen Luo didn't want to go looking for another wave of Moon Carver.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lumine will be able to meet the Moon Carver if she follows the procedure and enters Jueyun Karst.

In that case, Chen Luo can find one less immortal.

While waiting for this time Chen Luo first resolved the situation on the side of Cloud Retainer.

In that case, Chen Luo would only need to find two more immortals.

As for which of these two immortals to choose... one is naturally the Plam Leaf.

As for the other one, Chen Luo wasn't sure if Grandma Ping counted. Streetward Rambler was definitely an immortal, but Chen Luo had a feeling that Grandma Ping must have already heard about this.

After all, Grandma Ping is different from other immortals; Grandma Ping has always lived in Liyue Harbor.

That said, immortals can probably stay young forever, so is the reason why Grandma Ping looks so old just because it makes her more suitable to blend into Liyue Harbor?

After all, Ganyu has lived for so many years, and he's still so young, isn't he?

"Ah, damn it, speaking of which, it seems we shouldn't go to the Cloud Retainer first, but should go to the Demon Slayer first!" Just as Chen Luo was thinking about the fourth immortal to choose, Chen Luo suddenly realized something.

To fulfill all the reward requirements, Chen Luo must notify the four immortals.

The Moon Carver, the Plam Leaf, and the True Lord of Borrowing the Wind and Clouds—we are still missing one immortal.

The best choice for this immortal would definitely be the Demon Slayer, but everyone in the Wangshu Inn where the Demon Slayer resides is Ningguang person.

Therefore, Chen Luo had to tell the Demon Slayer the news before Ningguang could inform the people at Wangshu Inn.

Otherwise, Chen Luo wouldn't be able to receive the reward.

Damn it, is this Ningguang quest a trap for me?

Was the purpose to make me not collect all the rewards, just to annoy me?

Even if it's uncertain whether the other party has any means of remote information transmission, the speed would still be very fast, even if it's done by carrier pigeon.

In other words, if Chen Luo had been any slower, he might not have been able to collect all the rewards.

There may be other immortals, but finding other immortals is definitely not as convenient as finding the Demon Slayer.

Although in the story, the owner of Wangshu Inn seemed unaware of the death of the Geo Archon and did not tell the Demon Slayer Xiao about it.

But who knows if I'll tell them now?

But don't panic. Although the Demon Slayer is staying at the Wangshu Inn, it won't be easy for the people at the Wangshu Inn to find Demon Slayer immediately.

After all, this person comes and goes without a trace.

"The Demon Slayer?" Shenhe said softly.

"Let's go, let's go, hold on tight, we're about to depart." Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and several transparent lines instantly extended and bound Shenhe, Sirin, and the Herrscher of Knowledge, before using the Teleport Anchor.

Chen Luo just likes to randomly place ships and send anchor points everywhere. When Chen Luo and Hu Tao returned to Liyue Harbor, they took a slightly roundabout route, and one of the Teleport Anchor was relatively close to the Wangchu Inn.

In an instant, Chen Luo and his group arrived at a Seven Statues of the Seven through the Teleport Anchor.

Chen Luo then looked up and used the Herrscher of Void's ability to teleport to the sky.

The higher you stand, the farther you can see. So, if you want to quickly reach Wangshu Inn using the Herrscher of Void's abilities, flying higher is a good option. The higher you fly, the farther you can see.

The Wangshu Inn is built quite high; I don't know whose taste it was, but it certainly serves as a lighthouse to attract merchants and travelers.

Once the coordinates are known, Chen Luo's Herrscher of Void ability can be activated.

"Whoosh!" The next moment, Chen Luo and the others disappeared again.

After only a few flashes, Chen Luo arrived at the bottom of Wangshu Inn.

Chapter 330 The Inner Demon That Feeds on Karmic Obstacles

"Sigh, I'm really curious, why is Wangshu Inn built so high?" Chen Luo asked curiously, standing at the foot of Wangshu Inn.

"Alo, alo, I feel an incredibly delicious sensation, a sensation so delicious it's almost thrilling." But as soon as they appeared here, the Herrscher of Knowledge immediately embraced Chen Luo.

"Ah, I felt it too, but can you calm down?" Chen Luo did not reject the embrace of the Herrscher of Knowledge, because Chen Luo also felt it.

"No, I can't calm down if I don't hold you," the Herrscher of Knowledge said with some difficulty.

"... Then you should go into the sea of consciousness first, so you don't lose control and suddenly take action later." Chen Luo looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was particularly excited, and directly took out a chocolate bar and stuffed it into the Herrscher of Knowledge's mouth, while saying this.

"That's the only way." The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded and transformed into a beam of light, flying into Chen Luo's body.

As for what exactly that delicious food the Herrscher of Knowledge was talking about...

Learn about karmic obstacles.

"Hmm, karmic obstacles, that sounds like a delicious food." He licked his lips as he looked at Chen Luo at the top of Wangshu Inn.

Inner demons are demons, and when you eat them, you can say there are no taboos.

Inner demons, inner demons—don't just focus on the mind, but also pay attention to the demons.

In ancient times, inner demons were the nightmare of all cultivators, not only because they came and went without a trace, but also because as long as evil thoughts continued in the world, inner demons would never disappear.

The inner demon can consume almost anything negative and intangible, and it will gradually grow and change as it absorbs these things.

The same applies to the Herrscher of Knowledge and Chen Luo, these two aberrant inner demons. Perhaps it is because of the combination of the Herrscher of Knowledge and inner demon abilities that the Herrscher of Knowledge's version of the inner demon recipe is even more extensive.

Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge dared not say that they could eat everything, but they could sense what they could eat.

For example, this karmic obstacle, once Chen Luo got close enough, he could tell that it was edible.

Chen Luo didn't know if ordinary inner demons could be eaten, but he and Herrscher of Knowledge definitely could.

Chen Luo always felt that he and the Herrscher of Knowledge were like a low-budget version of the Evil Sword Immortal.

The reason it's described as a low-end configuration isn't because it lacks potential or strength, but because Chen Luo and Herrscher of Knowledge have limitations.

If Chen Luo and Herrscher of Knowledge really went crazy, they would eat anything, but if they wanted to maintain their human emotions, they would need to be restrained.

Eating is fine, but it needs time to digest; otherwise, it can easily affect one's mental state.

Chen Luo and Herrscher of Knowledge are already quite satisfied with themselves as they are now, and they don't want to become even more "inner demons" themselves.

Karmic obstacles, my karmic obstacles

Hey-hey...

As expected, there are many good things in this Different World. Not only are there tangible treasures like the Gnosis, but there are also things like Karmic Obstacles, which are a rare delicacy for inner demons.

Karmic obstacles that have been brewing for thousands of years are like wine that has been brewing for thousands of years.

The 50,000 years of darkness is unbearable for Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge in their current state, so it can only be used after purification.

Therefore, Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge never had any improper thoughts about the darkness belonging to the Herrscher of Corrosion stored in the Childhood Fun Park, for fear that their consciousness would be destroyed.

However, the karmic burden accumulated over thousands of years is still barely acceptable, at least for those Herrscher of Knowledge; Chen Luo, on the other hand, finds it somewhat unacceptable.

After all, Chen Luo only lived for a little over ten years, while Fu Hua lived for over 50,000 years.

Of course, even those Herrscher of Knowledge need to eat little by little if they don't want to be affected, and Chen Luo's appetite is Xiao Yi than that of Herrscher of Knowledge.

Herrscher of Knowledge can eat three large bowls, while Chen Luo can only eat one bowl.

But it doesn't matter, Chen Luo has already decided to develop Xiao into a customer.

Even if I have to pay extra for the Primogem, I must keep this Xiao.

Chen Luo made this decision.

Of course, he couldn't afford to lose much; Chen Luo's bottom line was 20 Primogem.

"Hiss, this temptation is really tempting." Chen Luo rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

The inner demon is never satisfied, which is why it is called a demon, and the inner demon will never be full.

Although he knew that the Demon Slayer above was not to be trifled with, Chen Luo still felt a little uneasy.

Feeling this sensation, Chen Luo immediately shut down his Inner Demon's Body.

Laughing to death? You're not going to laugh yourself to death.

Despite having so many strange physical attributes, Chen Luo is essentially just an ordinary person.

The others are all considered Semi-Conceptual Physique.

This is the benefit of the Semi-Conceptual Physique; you can turn it off if you don't want to use it anymore.

If you find that one of your physical attributes is countered by the other party's ability, you can turn it off.

It's incredibly convenient.

But the Herrscher of Knowledge different. Her constitution is such that she is a modified constitution of the Herrscher of Knowledge plus the inner demon, so she cannot shut it down. That is why Chen Luo asked her to hide in his sea of consciousness.

However, Chen Luo turned it off, but not completely, leaving 1% of his inner demon constitution to sense the location of the Demon Slayer Sage.

The Demon Slayer Xiao can conceal his physical form, but he cannot conceal his karmic burdens.

"Shenhe, the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony is almost over. After all, the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony is over. Did you learn anything?" Chen Luo asked Shenhe beside him as he walked towards Wangshu Inn.

In fact, the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony had already ended when the Geo Archon fell from the sky and died, but Shenhe's mission was not fully completed.

Besides having Chen Luo Shenhe to see the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony, Shenhe's other task was to have Chen Luo Shenhe whether it was appropriate for him to enter the market now.
