The second level of the Tower of Demon Subduing was similar to the first level. The only difference was that there were forests on both sides of the path instead of weeds.
After Lu Li and Patriarch Chen came in, Lu Li used psychic power to check the forest. Just like before, he could find nothing.
Lu Li asked, "Patriarch Chen, what are the demons here like?"
"The demons here are called Dream Beasts!"
Patriarch Chen explained, "The demons here mainly use soul attacks. Of course … their soul attacks are different from regular ones. They can create strange dreams that you will never be able to walk out of.
Even if you have Enchanted Souls to protect your soul, it will be useless.
If you cannot walk out of the dreams, you will be torn apart by them. "
"Oh, let me try?"
Lu Li was interested. He cupped his fists and said, "If something goes wrong or I cannot wake up for a long time, please help me, Patriarch Chen. I need to go to the Jilei Mountain to cultivate."
"Sure!"
Patriarch Chen nodded. Lu Li strode forward. He had absolute confidence in his defense. The Dream Beasts should not be able to break his defense. He just didn't want to stay in the dreams for too long.
He walked on for more than 300 feet. The forests on both sides of the path began to tremble. A gentle breeze blew over, bringing with it a faint fragrance.
Lu Li scanned with his Divine Perception and found a strange demon floating over. It didn't seem to have a physical body and was constantly changing its appearance with the wind. From time to time, it would turn into a flirtatious woman, a strange demonic beast, or a strange plant.
"Eh!"
Lu Li suddenly felt the world in front of him had changed. Patriarch Chen had disappeared. He was no longer in the path. The forests on both sides had disappeared.
He could only see strange faces appearing in midair, and they were all women's faces. Some of them were pure, some were flirtatious, some were cold, some were flirtatious, some were singing softly, some were self-pitying …
One after another, faces appeared and changed. Lady Yi's face appeared, followed by the Goddess of Shangqing Palace, Lady Man's face, Ling Qingyan's face, Pan Yuqin's face, Chi Xi 'er's face, Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang, Lu Ling, and Prajna.
All the faces behind were those of women he was familiar with. Some were in pain, some were sad, some were sad, and some were in tears. Lu Li didn't know what to feel.
Lu Li knew very well that these were all illusions. He should be in his own dream.
These women were all related to him, or women that he missed.
Although he knew it was a dream, he still felt extremely uncomfortable. He didn't know how to break out of this dream, so he could only stand there and watch the scenes around him change.
A moment later, all the faces disappeared!
The scenery began to change. It was the Northern Desert of the Heaven Reverse Universe.
Two identical girls appeared in front of him. They were Autumn Snow and Bai Xiashuang.
The two of them stood far away and smiled at him. Bai Xiashuang kept beckoning him over.
Even though he knew it was a dream, Lu Li could not help but want to go over and hold the twins in his arms.
At this moment, even if he knew it was a dream, he didn't even want to wake up. He wanted to stay in there forever, because … he would be able to see the woman he loved the most.
"Darling, I miss you so much!"
Jiang Qiling appeared in front of him. She looked at him affectionately. Before he could do anything, Jiang Qiling disappeared in the wind.
Then, a beautiful girl with waist-length hair and a cyan robe showed up. She had an exquisite face. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Brother Lu, you lied to me. You said that when Prajna went to the Divinity, you would marry me.
Now, I have become an immortal and I am in the Divinity. Where are you?
You have broken Prajna's heart … "
"Prajna, it's me!"
Lu Li couldn't help but say. Before he could finish his sentence, the scene changed again. Chi Xi-er appeared in front of him. She looked at Lu Li with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother, where are you?
Don't you want me anymore?
Come back. Without you … I will die. "
"Xi-er!"
Lu Li's heart ached. He closed his eyes in pain, afraid to look into Chi Xi-er's pearl-like eyes.
The next second, he heard a familiar voice. He opened his eyes involuntarily and said, "Sweetheart, don't worry. I have taken care of the Lu Family. You can explore the Second Heaven with peace of mind.
Qingyan will take care of them for you. Yuqin and I will wait for you at the Land of Youyan. "
Lu Li opened his eyes. As expected, he saw Ling Qingyan and Pan Yuqin. He sighed to himself. It seemed that he would never wake up from this dream.
Deep down in his heart, he had too many things to worry about. They would become nightmares that would trap him forever.
"Phew, phew ~"
All of a sudden, the wind came up. The world in front of him was covered in ice and snow. Faintly, a small tribe emerged. Outside the tribe, several figures were becoming clearer.
"Eh …"
Lu Li saw a girl standing outside the tribe. She was weak, wearing a white cloak and holding a walking stick. Her beautiful face was filled with joy.
Seeing this, Lu Li's heart trembled.
This was the scene when he came back from carrying coffins for the Liu Family when he was 15 and Lu Ling was waiting for him outside the Di Long Tribe.
Lu Li's heart melted when he saw Lu Ling's pale and pretty face.
Before he knew it, tears were running down his cheeks. He knew that he could never get over this nightmare because the nightmare in the depth of his soul was too deep.
The girls that appeared just now were his demons. They could keep him in a dream for the rest of his life, never to wake up.
"Alas …"
A leisurely sigh suddenly came from the horizon, which pulled Lu Li back from his dream.
Lu Li took a closer look. The world around him had changed back.
He was standing on a path with woods on both sides. Patriarch Chen was standing next to him. His robe was torn in many places and there were some blood marks on his skin.
"This Beast of Nightmares is impressive. I was attacked and I didn't even feel it!"
Lu Li was surprised. He had been in a dream. He was bleeding but he didn't notice anything.
"Lu Li!"
Patriarch Chen frowned and said, "I didn't know that your nightmare was so serious.
You cannot go through the second Heaven's Tribulation in this state. Otherwise, you will be stuck in the Tribulation of Mind and Soul for the rest of your life.
You cannot go through the second Heaven's Tribulation without dispelling the demons in your heart! "
"I know!"
Lu Li sighed. This was his own business and he knew it.
He had risen too fast and his realm was improving too fast. However, his foundation was not solid enough, especially his soul. He relied too much on the dragon's soul.
The Heaven's Tribulation was a test of his all-round abilities. His comprehensive abilities might be strong, but his foundation was not solid enough.
At a critical moment, such as the Heaven's Tribulation, his flaws would be exposed and he would be doomed eternally.
"More haste, less speed?"
