Ding Gan wanted to let everybody know that he was very happy.

His daoist partner had not come with him this time, so he roared loudly in hopes that his love would reach her ears through the recount of his master and senior sisters.

He wanted to take this opportunity to tell her how much he loved her.

His love was genuine and had absolutely no relation to inner demons!

Moreover, there was absolutely no problem with his love for her; it was pure and not twisted in the slightest.

“I’m very happy!” Ding Gan exclaimed. “Are you happy too?”

“No, my surname is Song.” Song Shuhang could not help but crack a dad joke out of instinct.

Ding Gan’s momentum was suddenly cut off.

“My surname is Su.” Sixteen chuckled.

“My surname is… Onion, I guess?” Lady Onion mused while pointing to herself.

“I… No, nevermind.” Senior Turtle stopped halfway, seemingly unable to speak out its true name.

Ding Gan was frozen in place for a good few seconds.

After a while, he calmly brushed aside Senior Tyrannical Song and the others’ teasing.

“Senior Sage White, thanks to what you said, I realized that my love is genuine. Now, I feel as if I’m overflowing with power. No matter how twisted the love of this inner demon is, it won’t be able to affect me,” Ding Gan roared loudly once more.

Roaring could enhance one’s spirits and boost one’s confidence.

The louder one roared, the greater the effect on one’s confidence.

“The inner demon that resides in me, regardless of why it was born, is doomed to be obliterated! It cannot shake my heart!” Ding Gan then yelled at the inner demon tribulation attached to him, “Get off of me! Get out!”

Behind him, the wriggling tentacles continued to struggle.

But the more they struggled, the more the tentacles knotted themselves together, until there were thousands of knots.

In the sky, Song Shuhang pinched his chin and said while in thought, “Is this… The power of love?”

“Sigh, the power of love…” Senior Turtle stroked its chin with its forelegs. “I now understand ‘psychology’ a little bit more.”

“Fellow Daoist Turtle, I feel that ‘love’ may have only played a part in Little Fellow Daoist Ding Gan’s sudden increase of power. Rather, do you also feel that this Little Fellow Daoist is showing the symptoms of a hen-pecked man? “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said happily.

It suspected that being a hen-pecked man may be one of the reasons for the formation of Ding Gan’s inner demon.

But interestingly enough, it was also what enabled him to expel his inner demon.

Of course, this was only the black Scarlet Heaven Sword’s guess. It did not actually have any hard evidence to support its claims.

It was merely food for thought.

Amidst the constant roars of Ding Gan, the inner demon that was attached to his body was slowly but surely being expelled.

However, no inner demon tribulation was easy to deal with.

The inner demon hung on to a thread, continuing to survive despite Ding Gan’s arduous efforts to expel it.

The two sides had entered a game of tug of war.

It caused those who were watching to be on edge.

When it came to dealing with something like an inner demon tribulation, it was unfortunately very difficult for outsiders to lend a helping hand.

The inner demon tribulation was also a part of the heavenly tribulation, so it was not easy for outsiders to intervene in such a thing.

“Fairy Creation?” Song Shuhang tried to summon her.

After all, her singing had the power to weaken inner demons.

Half of Fairy Creation’s head popped out of Song Shuhang’s body and she glanced at Ding Gan. “Song~ Dumb~”

Then, Fairy Creation went back into his body, showing a clear lack of interest in the matter. “Song~, Bazaar~ Hey~”

Song Shuhang: “…”

It seemed that Fairy Creation would not be lending any help this time.

“Senior White,” Shuhang called out.

Senior White turned his head curiously. “Hmm?”

Song Shuhang said, “Do you want to try eating this inner demon tribulation? After all, none of us have gotten to taste it yet.”

When he heard this, Senior White’s eyes flashed with intrigue.

Song Shuhang continued, “According to the Heavenly Tribulation Grand Banquet, the level of the Inner Demon Tribulation Sashimi Slices dish is even higher than that of the Braised Heavenly Tribulation.”

Senior White’s eyes shone even brighter after hearing this.

There seemed to be hidden the splendor of the sun and moon within his eyes. They shone with their own brilliance, a brilliance that was simply dazzling.

In the sky, the tribulation clouds dispersed.

A beam of sunlight shone on the body of Ding Gan’s inner demon tribulation through the gradually clearing tribulation clouds.

This beam was like a light straight from the heavens, welcoming the return of a lost soul.

Under this light, Ding Gan’s inner demon tribulation began to separate from his body and slowly rose into the sky.

Song Shuhang said, “Is it ascending to the heavens? Or is it being retrived?”

Sixteen said, “Speaking of which, will an inner demon tribulation disappear once it’s expelled?”

Senior White said, “Inner demons are ever-changing, so no matter what happens to an inner demon tribulation, you should not be surprised. Didn’t Fellow Daoist Northern River even have a relationship with his inner demon for many years?”

In other words, it was quite normal for an inner demon that was expelled from a cultivator’s body to still be alive and kicking, or even go back from where it had come from.

It should not come as any surprise if there were even more bizarre events.

Song Shuhang said, “However, Ding Gan’s heavenly tribulation has already come to an end, right?”

Pavilion Master Chu said, “Yes, it’s over. He has ascended from the Second Stage Realm to the Third Stage Realm, and the first of his four mysterious meridians have begun to open.”

“That means…” Song Shuhang took out a glove and put it on.

The Ancestral Witch’s Blessing allowed the user to perform short-distance spatial teleportation within a range of 500 meters.

Song Shuhang’s figure appeared directly above the knotted tentacles.

The inner demon tribulation did not seem to notice Song Shuhang and continued its journey up into the sky.

Song Shuhang reached out and grabbed the inner demon tribulation tentacles. “I’ll be taking this inner demon tribulation.”

The squid-like tentacles, which were still wriggling around, let out a shrill cry.

However, the mass of tentacles could not invade Song Shuhang’s body as the black-skinned Soft Feather’s hands had already reached out and tightly grabbed onto its body.

Song Shuhang teleported again and reappeared next to Senior White. He handed Ding Gan’s inner demon tribulation to Senior White, wishing for him to seal it.

Senior White placed his hand on the inner demon tribulation and made more than ten hand seals in a row to seal the inner demon tribulation.

With that, Ding Gan’s heavenly tribulation had officially come to an end.

❄️❄️❄️

In the middle of the sky, Song Shuhang silently took out his phone and unlocked the screen with his password.

He then opened the interface of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

“Time to change my daoist name,” said Song Shuhang as he changed his daoist name to Tyrannical Saber Song One. After looking at his past experiences, every time he used this daoist name, he would be a little bit luckier.

Then, while Senior White was sealing the inner demon tribulation, he quickly typed a message into the chat box.

Tyrannical Saber Song One: “Seniors, quietly spread this piece of news. Senior White said that if he were to choose his other half, they must at least be as good as the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group. In other words, if Senior White were to choose a partner, it is likely to come from this group👍. So, all the fairies in the group, prepare yourselves well! PS: This message will be deleted in ten seconds.”

Su Clan’s Sixteen: “…”

I’m that little white crane at the edge of the Earth’s End: “What did you do to Senior White? Why did you talk about marriage with him?”

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: “Shuhang, have you lost your mind again?”

Song Shuhang smiled slightly.

After about ten seconds, as Senior White finished sealing the inner demon tribulation, Song Shuhang quickly tried to delete the message.

But then, the fingers of his wooden body became stiff.

A prompt had popped up—[Network Connection Error].

Song Shuhang’s heart froze.
