After confirming that the other party had walked far away, Ye Lin stopped pretending and used the Disintegration Technique to slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sealing one's cultivation is useful for ordinary cultivators, but for Ye Lin, it is like throwing a meat bun at a dog—it never comes back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of Pei Jiuye being out busy, he also had things to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin severed a finger and left it in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, his main body activated the Great Void Technique and slipped out directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long yearned for the two forbidden grounds of the Joyous Union Sect; he had never found the opportunity before, and now it was time to explore them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, if the situation went wrong, he would just use the Disintegration Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for being caught? There was no need to panic; Pei Jiuye would speak up for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who in the Joyous Union Sect didn't know that he, Ye Lin, had been captured by Pei Jiuye and taken to the Punishment Hall for torture? To say he had escaped would be to slap Pei Jiuye in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I go to the Thousand Red Cave or the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well first...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xi had once told Ye Lin that the Thousand Red Cave held some cauldrons with superb talent and powerful strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well, Elder Xi did not elaborate, only saying that if one's cultivation was too low, going there would induce inner demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin remembered that the Spirit Peak Master, Situ Qi, had explained the concept of inner demons to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So-called inner demons are divided into two types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One is the external inner demon, which generally occurs when a cultivator's body dies but their soul remains intact, requiring them to find someone to possess; however, if their soul power is insufficient to complete the possession, this soul entity will invade your body and transform into an inner demon within you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other is the internal inner demon; demons are born from the heart. Internal inner demons are actually formed by the condensation of your own evil thoughts and negative emotions along the path of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a cultivator experiences extreme negative emotions, such as fear, despair, obsession, resentment, or guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the practitioner cannot digest these negative emotions alone, this energy may condense into an independent conscious entity, like a tumor parasitic on the soul—this is the internal inner demon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether it is an external or internal inner demon, their essence is an evil soul entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When an inner demon first appears, it only affects your emotions and judgment; later, it will gradually erode your sanity until it completely devours you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inner demons can be said to be the thing every cultivator fears most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout history, countless cultivators with stunning talent have died at the hands of their own inner demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is even more terrifying is that the generation of inner demons is not divided by cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one steps onto the path of cultivation, there is a chance for inner demons to be generated; the higher the realm, the greater the probability of inner demons appearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking, there are three ways to deal with inner demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first is to start from oneself, regularly severing one's own evil thoughts to prevent them from growing, or through karmic repayment, such as redeeming those one has harmed, to weaken the foundation of the inner demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second is to use external means, such as soul-suppressing artifacts or talismans, to forcibly suppress the inner demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third is to draw the inner demon out of the body and refine it into an artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the third method is extremely dangerous, because it is equivalent to helping the inner demon condense into a powerful soul entity in advance; once the inner demon backlashes during this process, the cultivator is very likely to die on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when he was listening to Situ Qi's lecture, whenever he lost focus, Situ Qi would elbow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Ye Lin remembered this content very clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In summary, comparing the two forbidden grounds, it was clear that the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well was more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To go to the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he had always been curious why he didn't have the slightest sign of developing inner demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The location of the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well was in a cave behind the Hall of No-Thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Great Void Technique active, Ye Lin cautiously approached the back of the Hall of No-Thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Void Technique could deceive ordinary cultivators, but it likely could not deceive the Seven Emotions Elders and the four Hall Masters, so Ye Lin dared not be too reckless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving at the back mountain, Ye Lin quickly found a cave two people tall; there were no guards at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin wanted to go straight in, but he soon discovered something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is... a formation restriction!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder this Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well was a forbidden ground of the Joyous Union Sect, yet there was no one guarding it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the formation knowledge taught to him by the Force Peak Master, Zheng Tongfei, the first restriction here could likely easily obliterate a cultivator at the Fifth Tribulation of Dao, and even a cultivator at the Seventh Phase of Spirit would be severely injured or killed if they forcibly broke in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for such a terrifying restriction, there were three whole layers set up at the entrance of this cave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin crouched on the ground and carefully observed these three layers of restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing for a long time, he suddenly stood up, a smug smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good, I can't break it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I can't break it, I'll just force my way in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin took a step forward, striding toward the first restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stepped across, Ye Lin only felt a terrifying force flash by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he was decapitated; the head that fell to the ground clearly saw his body being sliced into pieces, a gruesome sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a terrifying restriction...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin's eyes were full of gravity; perhaps the power of a formation restriction set up by the Force Peak Master, Zheng Tongfei, himself would be no more than this, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone resisting, he hadn't even discovered where the force attacking him had come from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mangled corpse slowly pieced itself back together, then he picked up the head from the ground and reattached it to his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, there was no one nearby; otherwise, this eerie scene would likely have scared many people into fainting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First restriction, done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin stretched his regenerated body and walked straight toward the second restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stepped across, Ye Lin instantly felt a scorching sensation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red-purple flames erupted from his entire body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is... Karmic Fire?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin was somewhat surprised; he was no stranger to this thing. Among the forbidden spells he knew, one was called Karmic Fire Burning the Heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karmic Fire is extremely terrifying; once contaminated, it is impossible to extinguish, and it will burn everything to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a situation like this where one is covered in Karmic Fire, besides relying on high cultivation to forcibly endure it, one could only peel off a layer of skin alive to save one's life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin soon discovered something even more terrifying: even his soul had begun to have Karmic Fire rising from it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This second restriction was clearly intended to make the intruder's body and soul perish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So ruthless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin's pupils shrank violently; he couldn't even withstand the first restriction, let alone the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-purple Karmic Fire burned fiercely until Ye Lin was burned to nothing but ash, his soul scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a newborn-aged Ye Lin appeared behind the second restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just one life, second restriction, passed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin strode toward the third restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin had assumed the third restriction would also cost him a life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely, after Ye Lin crossed the third restriction, nothing happened at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange, could this third restriction just be a decoration? Forget it, never mind, as long as I'm in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin walked straight into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceiling of the cave was embedded with night-luminescent pearls, emitting a fluorescent glow that stretched Ye Lin's shadow long and thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ye Lin were to look back at this moment, he would discover that his shadow... had actually started moving on its own!\u003C\u002Fp>",1456,"2026-06-21T02:52:50.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6131f76adc6fcb3ef9faa7f88f0df1e7f27384a3e70b4569ff46f368934f360e","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-701","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-699",847,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-cover.jpg"]
