Chapter 498: Wu Yidao’s Heart Demon

Chapter 498: Wu Yidao's Heart Demon

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and two years flew by. During these two years, both Wu Yidao and Shen Youwei had already passed the second trial within the Haotian Divine Realm.

In the third trial, both of them sat cross-legged on the ground with their brows furrowed, unaware of what they were seeing.

The third trial was the Heart Demon Tribulation, which would pull the trial-taker into a Heart Demon illusion. Only by defeating the Heart Demon within the Heart Demon illusion could one pass the third trial.

Looking at the pitch-black illusion around him, Wu Yidao's expression was extremely solemn. He was very curious about what kind of Heart Demon he was encountering.

After all, based on his own understanding of himself, he shouldn't have a Heart Demon.

But in the next second, not knowing what he had seen, Wu Yidao's pupils suddenly constricted.

"My good Great-grandson, long time no see."

Looking at the 'Wu Hao' appearing before him, Wu Yidao's tone was filled with disbelief.

"Great-Grandfather, why are you here?"

"Why am I here? That is naturally because I am your Heart Demon."

After 'Wu Hao' finished speaking, he suddenly attacked Wu Yidao in the next second.

Seeing Great-Grandfather attack him, Wu Yidao's heart was filled with shock, but he quickly reacted and began to fight back against 'Wu Hao'.

However, because of 'Wu Hao's' identity, Wu Yidao fought timidly and was simply no match for 'Wu Hao'.

In the next second, he was sent flying by a punch from 'Wu Hao'.

Looking at Wu Yidao lying on the ground, 'Wu Hao' snorted coldly and said.

"In your current state, how can you protect the Wu Family, and how can you lead the Wu Family to a higher Peak!"

Hearing 'Wu Hao's' words, Wu Yidao felt immense guilt. Perhaps even he himself did not realize it, but since he was young, his parents' education had been to follow what Great-Grandfather said, to Cultivate well, and to lead the Wu Family to a higher Peak.

Therefore, Wu Yidao had always been Cultivating and striving with this goal in mind. Yet, invisibly, the 'culprit' of all this, Wu Hao, had quietly become Wu Yidao's Heart Demon.

"What are you still crying for? What is the meaning of your tears? Can your tears protect the Wu Family?"

Looking at Wu Yidao on the ground, 'Wu Hao' pressed him step by step, continuing to mock him, wanting to break through Wu Yidao's psychological defenses.

And the situation was just as 'Wu Hao' had expected; Wu Yidao broke down and roared at 'Wu Hao'.

"You don't understand me at all! Die!"

After saying this, Wu Yidao launched a fierce attack against 'Wu Hao', but anger was never a good behavior; it would only accelerate his failure.

Under his anger, Wu Yidao's flaws were repeatedly found by 'Wu Hao', and he was sent flying again and again. Soon, Wu Yidao was covered in wounds, and his aura gradually weakened; it looked like death was only a matter of time.

Lying on the ground, Wu Yidao gasped for air, looking at the pitch-black sky with empty eyes. At this moment, he had begun to feel lost. What was he Cultivating for? His family's goal for him was to lead the entire Wu Family to become stronger.

But that was others' goal for him. So, what was his own goal?

Not far away, 'Wu Hao' watched as Wu Yidao's body was being devoured bit by bit by the void, feeling satisfied inside. His task was almost complete.

Soon, the void had devoured Wu Yidao until only his head remained, and it was about to completely devour him.

But at this critical moment, a voice appeared in Wu Yidao's mind.

"Wake up, Yi Dao, wake up!"

Wu Yidao suddenly came to his senses. Looking around again, the surrounding space was no longer the previous Heart Demon illusion, but a bright space.

At the end of this space, Wu Yidao only saw a back figure, but just by that back figure, Wu Yidao recognized the other person.

"Great-Grandfather."

As Wu Yidao spoke, the figure slowly turned around to look at Wu Yidao; it was indeed Wu Hao.

Looking at Great-Grandfather, Wu Yidao's heart was filled with self-reproach, and he couldn't help but say.

"Great-Grandfather, did I disappoint you all?"

"No, child, you have done very well."

Wu Hao walked up to Wu Yidao with a smile, reaching out his hand intending to pat Wu Yidao's head, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he patted Wu Yidao's shoulder instead and said.

"I know your concerns, and I know why your Heart Demon was born, but you must understand one thing, and that is, all of that was just what you thought it was."

"Just what I thought?"

Wu Yidao's eyes were filled with confusion.

Wu Hao nodded.

"Correct."

As Wu Hao's words fell, in the next second, Wu Yidao was pulled into his past memories. In those past memories, Wu Yidao saw many things he had never known before.

"Husband, do you really want Yi Dao to Cultivate so diligently?"

In Wu Yidao's memory, his mother, Li Yulong, was looking at him—who was currently Cultivating—with a worried expression, while his father, Wu Xuanyuan, stood beside her.

His father's expression was solemn, but he sighed and said.

"As long as Yi Dao is happy, that is enough."

That was when he had just started to Cultivate. Wu Yidao remembered it very clearly; after all, there was still a Brother ahead of him putting pressure on him, so Wu Yidao was eager to become stronger.

Looking at the past, Wu Yidao's heart was also quite complex.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed. At that time, he was eighteen years old, so it was only natural that he was kicked out by Great-Grandfather to gain experience.

Although he was a bit reluctant at that time, he felt more happy than anything else. After all, he had needed to Cultivate very hard even while staying in the Wu Family, which had made him feel very repressed.

Subsequently, bits and pieces of the past reappeared before Wu Yidao. Looking at everything from the past, Wu Yidao felt extremely moved, but in the next second, he saw something and couldn't help but be stunned.

"This is… the first time I saved someone?"

Looking at the environment before him, Wu Yidao said in disbelief.

In Wu Yidao's memory, he had just reached the Nascent Soul Stage at that time, and while passing by a big mountain, he encountered a young girl being attacked by a Yao Beast.

At that critical moment of life and death, he had stepped in and saved her. This scene had always been kept in Wu Yidao's heart.

Looking at this scene, Wu Yidao couldn't help but be stunned, because he had remembered—he had remembered the purpose of his Cultivation.
