The moment he sat down on the cushion, dense black mist rose throughout the confinement cell.
Enveloped in the thick mist, Chen Lin felt distracting thoughts spring up in his mind. All manner of desires surfaced, impossible to suppress.
It was like an inner demon.
At the same time, he sensed that the concentration of nightmare qi had increased severalfold. With his mind unable to focus, wisps of it seeped into his body.
Fortunately, his soul power defended him automatically, repelling the nightmare qi.
To prevent his soul power from being depleted too quickly, Chen Lin took out a Xianji Stone and held it in his hand.
But he immediately discovered that the Xianji Stone's glow could not completely block the dense nightmare qi. It only weakened a portion of it, while large amounts still invaded his body!
This shocked him greatly. It was the first time a Xianji Stone had failed him.
That tiny lapse in concentration was enough to twist Chen Lin's face. Waves of black qi began emanating from his body. Alarmed, he hurriedly calmed his mind and focused entirely on resisting the invasion of inner demons brought on by the thick mist.
It took a full quarter of an hour before he suppressed the black qi again.
About another two hours passed before the black qi in the stone chamber receded like a tide. The Dao Heart Inquisition ended, and everything returned to normal.
Chen Lin was drenched in sweat and trembling all over. It took him quite some time to recover.
This Dao Heart Inquisition was terrifying, even worse than the inner demons he had encountered when breaking through to Nascent Soul. Had he not experienced countless cycles of samsara through the Dao-Inquiring Stone and fortified his convictions, he might not have endured it.
