Within his body, wisps of eerie blue flames surged and crashed through his meridians, quickly leaving most of them severely damaged. Gradually, the Netherworld Divine Fire, no longer content with remaining only within the meridians, forcefully rushed towards a certain location once more.

Lu Fuyue's expression changed drastically. She circulated her cultivation technique again, mobilizing her spiritual energy to try to stop the Netherworld Divine Fire. However, the Netherworld Divine Fire was too fast, and she could not control it with spiritual power alone.

The wisps of Netherworld Divine Fire that had been circulating throughout his body all entered his sea of ​​consciousness, violently impacting and sweeping through it. Instantly, the divine consciousness within the sea of ​​consciousness shrank and was devoured by the Netherworld Divine Fire.

Lu Fuyue's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her whole body was soaked in sweat, as if she had been pulled out of the water.

She bit her lip tightly, the intense pain causing her to unconsciously bite it until it bled. Her mind felt as if it were being pierced by thousands of silver needles.

No, if this continues, won't everything she's done be in vain?

Lu Fuyue forcefully activated the Yin-Yang Life and Death Technique once again, and the spiritual power in her dantian surged out like a fountain. The Yin-Yang Life and Death Taiji Diagram emerged in the very center of her dantian, splitting into two, one black and one white, which traveled throughout her body. Instantly, the meridians that had long been broken began to heal again.

She has always believed that human will can overcome fate!

The Ghost Emperor stood by her side to protect her. He was originally very happy to see Lu Fuyue pass the first test, but now, less than a quarter of an hour later, his heart was filled with worry for his little disciple.

When he first made a contract with the Netherworld Divine Flame, he was able to pass the first test by nearly losing half his life.

However, he was surprised that the girl was able to pass the first test so quickly.

The Ghost Emperor sighed, raised his hand and cast a spell into her body to protect her heart meridian, and transmitted his voice into her ear: "My good disciple, calm your mind and focus your attention. Do not be distracted. Everything in the world has a weakness. As long as you grasp those weaknesses and use skillful force, you can always tear open a gap and gain a chance of survival."

The cultivation technique this girl practiced was ultimately not from their underworld, making it much more difficult for her to refine the Netherworld Divine Fire than it had been for him before.

However, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. If you can get through it, it will be a blessing, and you may even have unexpected gains and a great increase in your cultivation. But if you can't get through it, it will be a disaster, and you will die and your cultivation will be destroyed.

Whether this is a blessing or a curse for his young apprentice is hard to say.

As the incantation was performed, Lu Fuyue, whose eyes were tightly closed, heard the Ghost Emperor's words clearly. A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind, which she seized immediately, and she was suddenly enlightened.

Yes, weaknesses. Once she finds a weakness, she can exploit it to create an opening and break the deadlock.

The weakness of the Netherworld Divine Fire is... that ninth-grade Netherworld Spirit Flower in her space.

That Netherworld Spirit Flower was formed by fusing the Black Mystic Stone with space. The Black Mystic Stone is one of the treasures of the Netherworld, and the Netherworld Divine Fire is also one of the treasures of the Netherworld. They are born together and can naturally counteract each other.

Upon thinking of this, Lu Fuyue suddenly opened her eyes, and the spiritual herb emitting a faint blue light appeared in her palm.

Upon hearing this familiar aura, the Ghost Emperor was instantly shocked. He hadn't expected his little disciple to have such good fortune. It seemed that the Netherworld Divine Fire was destined to be hers.

However, this kind of good fortune should be related to the Phoenix Clan.

Otherwise, how could a cultivator rejected by the Heavenly Dao have such good fortune?

Lu Fuyue opened her eyes, continuing to circulate her cultivation technique to fight against the Netherworld Divine Fire within her body while refining spiritual liquid.

The spiritual liquid was something she accidentally created. Compared to pills, the spiritual liquid was faster and more effective, and even the method of refining it was simpler.

With a thought, Lu Fuyue conjured a ball of golden-red divine fire in her palm. The divine fire firmly enveloped the Netherworld Spirit Grass, and in no time, the entire spirit grass transformed into a flowing, dark blue liquid that floated in her palm.

She opened her mouth and swallowed the dark blue spiritual liquid. In no time, a warm current flowed through her body, the Netherworld Divine Fire gradually subsided, her sea of ​​consciousness returned to normal, and everything returned to normal.

It was right after all.

Lu Fuyue steeled her resolve and, seizing the opportunity, channeled her spiritual power to guide the black and white energies of the Yin-Yang Life-Death Taiji Diagram within her body into her sea of ​​consciousness, repairing it bit by bit. She then used the black death energy to create a large net, firmly enveloping the wandering Netherworld Divine Fire. Finally, the net snapped shut, and all the Netherworld Spiritual Fire transformed into a small, dark blue sphere, floating within her sea of ​​consciousness.

Lu Fuyue separated a wisp of her divine consciousness and sent it into the small, dark blue sphere. The next second, information about the origin and function of the Netherworld Divine Fire reappeared.

Finally, the contract was successful!

Just then, the strings of the Fire Zither, which were originally hidden in the Netherworld Divine Fire, were also refined by Lu Fuyue, and streams of pure spiritual energy were fed back into her body.

As Lu Fuyue's cultivation at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm weakened, a large amount of ghostly energy surged into her body, then transformed into spiritual energy in her meridians and entered her dantian.

Although the Ghost Emperor had long suspected that his little disciple had a secret, he was still somewhat shocked when he saw with his own eyes that she could absorb ghost energy and use it for her own benefit.

It seems that she has contracted with the Netherworld Divine Fire, and this is combined with the effect of a dark power within her body.

He sighed. Since they were his own disciples, he should lend a hand.

Anyway, he had been trapped here in the form of a remnant soul for too long, so long that he had forgotten many things from his past, so long that he was already tired of existing like this.

Thinking of this, the unreliable feeling on the Ghost Emperor dissipated, and his aura became extremely unfathomable, and his eyes sharpened.

He closed his eyes and silently recited the incantation. In no time, all his cultivation transformed into a black ghostly aura and entered Lu Fuyue's body.

His remnant soul should have dissipated long ago, but he was reluctant to dissipate because he wanted to find a suitable master for the Netherworld Divine Fire that had followed him for so long.

Now that the owner of the Netherworld Divine Fire has been found, his remaining cultivation is useless. It's better to give it to his little disciple. Although it won't allow her to ascend to immortality in one step, it will certainly enable her to break through one major realm at a time.

If it weren't for the fear that her cultivation level was unstable, she could have actually made even greater progress.

Lu Fuyue, who was preparing to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, suddenly sensed a large amount of ghostly power surging in from the outside, constantly transforming into spiritual power and flowing into her dantian. It seemed that she would break through at any moment.

She suddenly had a bad feeling and couldn't bear it any longer. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the Ghost Emperor's figure disappearing rapidly.
