Chapter 173 Who exactly is she?

At this moment, Ye Li belatedly realized that if Xie Sixing really wanted to use her body to revive, she would have no power to fight back.

He could easily threaten her with Big Black, or he wouldn't even need to threaten her; he could just move his finger.

If that's the case, then why did he go through all that trouble to deceive her, and even risk his own life to save her?

Just as I was thinking this, a snap of fingers was heard in front of my face.

Xie Sixing tilted his head to look at her, amused, and said, "Daoist Master, you're about to die, and you're still daydreaming?"

Perhaps because she had died once, practice makes perfect, and Ye Li was frighteningly calm at this moment.

Her greatest wish before her death was to ascend to immortality and attain the Dao, and to receive the affirmation of the True Man Qingyu.

But now, she only wants to have a clear conscience.

Pay back what you owe, and do what you should do.

She cannot disregard Xie Sixing's help and decide his fate simply because he is an evil spirit. Nor can she assume that her actions are always right just because she considers herself to be on the righteous path.

People are fickle; let's look at the present.

In that instant, she felt an unprecedented sense of relief, and her body felt lighter.

The long-dormant soul once again gathered spiritual power.

Xie Sixing never expected that Ye Li could not only be distracted, but also break through to the next level.

He took two steps back, politely giving Ye Li space, "You break through first, I'll wait."

"..."

Ever since Ye Li used the Soul Offering Curse, her soul has been damaged. During her last two breakthroughs, she almost lost her soul.

Not to mention that she is currently paralyzed and unable to use her spiritual power to protect herself, and she can't stop.

If things go wrong, this body will become unusable for anyone and will simply dissipate on the spot.

Ye Li frowned, trying to signal Xie Sixing with her eyes, but he didn't react at all. He even made a "please" gesture to her, indicating that she should take her time and not rush her breakthrough.

She was speechless; if she could speak, she would have already started cursing.

Do you even want to be resurrected?

Breakthroughs wait for no one.

In the blink of an eye, spiritual energy gathered and flowed along his limbs and bones.

Unfortunately, her good fortune didn't last long. Soon, Ye Li felt the excruciating pain of her soul being torn apart again.

When one achieves a breakthrough in soul cultivation, spiritual energy will flow through the spiritual veins and converge at the center of the brow.

However, because her soul was damaged, when spiritual energy flowed through her damaged spiritual veins, it was like a boulder blocking the way, and the spiritual energy that was moving forward would only continue to accumulate and expand.

This would cause Ye Li's soul to suffer pressure that it shouldn't have to bear, and it might even cause it to be completely destroyed.

Just when Ye Li thought she was about to give up, suddenly, a pill was stuffed into her mouth.

Before Ye Li could react to what was in her mouth, a spicy and bitter taste instantly filled her oral cavity.

Her expression instantly twisted.

Without a doubt, it must have been the pills refined by Xie Sixing!

No one but him was so enthusiastic about adding seasonings to these pills!

Sure enough, Xie Sixing looked pleased with himself, "How is it? It tastes good, right? These are the Spirit Pivot Replenishing Pills you brought back. I specially changed the cooking method. Isn't it tastier than the Marrow Cleansing Pills?"

tasty?

It tastes awful!!!

Ye Li was speechless, staring intently at Xie Sixing.

To have to suffer like this before death, is there no justice left?

Finally, once the spiciness subsided, the broken spiritual veins caused by damage to the soul were miraculously reconnected.

The moment Ye Li's soul was restored to its complete form, a hand covered her forehead.

A continuous stream of spiritual energy flowed in, and the domineering force dispersed the accumulated spiritual energy.

Soon, it gathered between her eyebrows.

At the same time, she also broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm...

wrong!

It's the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

Ye Li looked up as if to ask something, but her hand blocked her view. She could only see Xie Sixing's upturned lips and the opening and closing of his thin lips.

"Go to sleep."

Those two short words were like a curse; she lost consciousness as soon as they were spoken.

-

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Li woke up.

She floated in an endless sea, as if her whole body was being lifted up.

Freedom, tranquility.

Is this what it feels like to be dead?

It felt surprisingly comfortable.

Slowly opening my eyes, I was greeted by a vast expanse of blue, with soft light streaming down from above, refracting into halos in the water.

Ye Li had never felt so relaxed before, as if nothing in the world had anything to do with her, and she belonged only to the world.

Suddenly, the seawater surged up and pushed her out of the water.

Then, she saw a view she had never seen before.

Everyone says that Tianmen Sect is a sacred place of immortals, filled with ethereal energy, but it is not even a fraction as good as this place.

Is this the afterlife?

As Ye Li was thinking, a golden light streaked across the sky.

In the blinding sunlight, she saw a giant dragon whose entire body shimmered with golden light.

The golden dragon's whiskers fluttered in the wind, its eyes gleaming brightly, and with each turn it stirred up a golden wave of light.

On the back of the dragon, a man sat leisurely with his hands on his knees, descending towards an island in the sea.

Xie Sixing?

Ye Li was very surprised to see him. "The resurrection failed? You died too?"

Xie Sixing did not answer; he seemed to be unable to see her.

The moment the golden dragon landed, it transformed into a seven- or eight-year-old boy, still bearing horns on his head and sporting a smiling face.

For some reason, the moment Ye Li saw him, she recognized the boy as Ah Jin.

So, Ah Jin isn't some big-bellied snake, but really a golden dragon?

"Master, you're back."

A little girl with fire on her head ran over from a distance, circling around them, asking, "Where's Huo Huo's meat?"

Looking out, the islands in front of me are faintly visible in the sea mist. The islands are covered with flowers and strange trees shimmer with a soft light, just like a fairyland on earth.

Xie Sixing lay on the ground with one arm as a pillow, laughing mischievously, "If you want it, take it yourself."

After saying that, he casually tossed an oil paper package into the sky.

As soon as Huo Huo smelled the aroma of meat, it kicked its toes and let out a deafening phoenix cry. Its red clothes burst into flames, transforming it into a fire phoenix.

It caught the oil paper package in its mouth.

Once she stepped back onto the ground, Huo Huo immediately started eating.

She not only ate all the meat inside, but she also chewed up the oil paper wrapping.

Looking at the leisurely manner of the person and the two beasts, Ye Li looked bewildered.

Therefore, what she saw in the mural illusion was all real.

Huo Huo and A Jin are indeed ancient mythical beasts.

If Xie Sixing could control them, how could he have become an evil spirit and been imprisoned in the Tianmen Sect?

Is he... really an evil spirit?

Just as Ye Li was deep in thought, Xie Sixing, who had been gazing at the sky, suddenly turned his head to look in her direction.

A lazy smile, "Still hiding?"

Ye Li was taken aback. "Are you calling me?"

Xie Sixing propped himself up to sit up. "Otherwise what? Is there another Ye Li in this world?"

The second Ye Li...

In an instant, countless images flashed before Ye Li's eyes, so fast that she couldn't see anything clearly.

She was certain that it wasn't her memory, nor was it Li Yuehua's memory.

She felt an excruciating pain in her head.

She kept hearing people calling her name.

"Li'er".

"Moonlight".

"Ye Li."

Who are they calling? Who is she?

Just as Ye Li felt her head was about to explode, her wrist was suddenly tightened.
