Chapter 214 Go Out and Join the Brothers and Sisters
The Annihilation Array? I've never heard of such an array before.
Shi Heming immediately suppressed his killing intent and walked to Song Yin's side in three quick steps.
"I'm sorry, Yinyin, I couldn't distinguish between illusion and reality just now." He instantly transformed back into the normal Shi Heming in Song Yin's eyes.
Shen Yuzhu anxiously said to Shi Heming, "Wake up, don't be fooled."
Song Yin sighed deeply, "Senior brother, do you really think I'm fake?"
Shen Yuzhu hesitated. Song Yin in front of him seemed perfectly normal. Could it be that he had really returned to reality?
Song Yin raised her hand and pushed away the sword pressed against her neck with her fingers. It was very easy and there was no resistance.
"Really?" Shen Yuzhu lowered his raised arm back to his side, his gaze sweeping over every face present.
Song Yin didn't let the Qingyang Sword leave; it remained aimed at Shen Yuzhu. She had no choice; she was afraid her senior brother might suddenly become suspicious and attack her again.
She patted Shi Heming's arm, then walked to the bleeding Mo You, poured out a Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, and put it into Mo You's mouth. The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and its effects took hold immediately.
Shi Heming recognized the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill and transmitted his voice: "Yinyin, the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill is precious, why give it to Mo You?"
To them, Mo You wasn't even a close friend; at best, he was a friendly collaborator.
Upon hearing the telepathic message, Song Yin thought to herself that things had indeed returned to normal.
Shen Yuzhu anxiously transmitted his voice: "This is your Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, how can you give it to a complete stranger, a demon?!"
If he was still somewhat skeptical before, after seeing Song Yin take out the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, he completely believed that the Song Yin in front of him was real, and that he and Shi Heming had truly returned to reality.
Song Yin transmitted her voice to the two people who knew the truth: "Don't worry, I have refined many Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills and I still have some on me."
Now they were no longer in a hurry and silently watched the pills take effect.
"Cough cough cough!" Mo You coughed, the blood in his throat hard to ignore.
The dead life slowly awoke, and he truly came back to life. Even those who knew about elixirs were shocked, let alone those who only learned about the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill today.
This scene was breathtaking.
Chu Tang opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak, because the voice rang out again, this time trying harder to sow discord between her and her master, trying to make her distrust her master, or even hate her master.
"You see how powerful the pills are, right? Your master knows how to refine pills, so she must have a lot of these kinds of pills, but she just won't save your mother."
No one noticed Chu Tang's subtle change; everyone was observing Mo You.
Chu Tang clenched her fists tightly, so tightly that they even made a cracking sound. The others who heard the sound didn't suspect anything, assuming that Chu Tang was clenching her fists to calm herself down, since that's what they did.
Chu Tang closed her eyes, roaring inwardly: Enough! Get out of here!
She didn't say anything, afraid of causing trouble for her master and also afraid that her master would feel uncomfortable because of this.
Chu Tang, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but curse inwardly:
I don't know who you are or where you come from, nor do I know why you've targeted me. I won't pursue it. Now get out of here! Get out of here! I don't care about fame and fortune, and you can't do anything else that would make me resent my master!
Even if I had the power to bring the dead back to life, I wouldn't easily use it to save people. Back then, I was just an ordinary mortal. My master could save people if she wanted to, and she couldn't if she didn't! I also don't want to resurrect my mother. She's been dead for so many years, she might have already been reincarnated. Our fate has run its course, so why force it!
So get out of here, get out!
The mysterious voice was indeed gone. Chu Tang waited for several minutes but did not hear it again.
Has the strange sound really left?
Chu Tang slowly opened her eyes, only to see several faces staring at her.
The masters and the others stopped paying attention to Mo You and instead looked at themselves.
Chu Tang subconsciously took two steps back, feeling uneasy. Had her emotions surged too much just now, and she blurted out what was on her mind? Had her master heard everything she said?
What to do, what to do, what to do!
"Xiao Tang," Song Yin spoke, "you've recovered your spiritual energy and broken through to the Golden Core stage."
"Golden Core stage, Golden Core stage... Golden Core stage?!" Chu Tang didn't react in time when repeating her master's words. It wasn't until the third time that she realized the meaning behind her master's words.
"I...I...I've reached the Golden Core stage? But I haven't experienced the Golden Core Tribulation yet, let alone the Heart-Questioning stage." Chu Tang was both happy and flustered. She paused when she mentioned the Heart-Questioning stage.
The strange sound just now, the sound that only she heard, was perhaps part of her self-examination. Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense.
Song Yin: "It must be because of the special nature of the Blood Demon Pool that there is no lightning tribulation inside, just like in a secret realm. After you come out, you will face the lightning tribulation, so take this opportunity to prepare well and adjust your mindset."
Chu Tang nodded, her mind too busy, making her seem a little dazed.
Song Yin didn't pay any attention and continued to observe Mo You's condition.
Mo You stared intently at Shi Heming and Shen Yuzhu, her eyes wide open. Upon closer inspection, a hint of fear could be seen in her eyes.
The two people in the illusion are madmen. One second they die in the illusion, and the next second they wake up and see the person who killed them. It would be strange if they weren't scared.
"You, you two, don't, don't come near me," Mo You stammered, shrinking his neck and leaning back until he hit the wall, with nowhere to retreat.
Song Yin: "It's good that you're awake. You were seriously injured and on the verge of death. You would have died if you had waited any longer. I used a lot of high-grade pills to save you. Seventh Prince of the Demon Clan, you owe me another life."
The taste of blood lingered in his throat, and he had no doubt about Song Yin's words. "Thank you. When we get back, you can choose any of my treasures."
Song Yin smiled and said, "No problem."
Song Yin simultaneously transmitted a message to her own people: "Do not reveal the matter of being resurrected to anyone, including any demons."
She could only say that she saved Mo You from the brink of death, not that she brought Mo You back to life.
Song Yin: "Everyone has experienced the illusion, and now everyone has awakened from these illusions, but the Blood Demon Pool still has no end. Do you have any other ideas to help us get out?"
Mo You swallowed hard, but all she swallowed was a mouthful of blood. "Could I have a glass of water to rinse my mouth?"
Song Yin: "Of course, I almost forgot that the ropes on you haven't been untied yet."
Mo You, now freed from his restraints, moved his body, then grabbed the teapot and cup on the table, poured himself a cup of water, and drank it down in three gulps.
After finishing his drink, Mo You wiped his mouth and asked, "Are we never going to reach the end of the Blood Demon Pool?"
The group nodded.
Mo You: "That's right. My time in the illusion wasn't wasted. After coming out, I realized why. The reason we couldn't get out was because I wasn't in reality, and this endless Blood Demon Pool was also an illusion."
"The Blood Demon Pool has definitely been tampered with. As far as I know, there is only one demon who has experienced this situation more than 8,000 years ago. He then wrote it down in his biography and it has been passed down in secret."
"According to the biography, after falling into the Boundless Blood Demon Pool, the trainee must control the flow of time. The Boundless Blood Demon Pool will blur the trainee's perception of time. One day inside the Blood Demon Pool is equivalent to one year outside."
Xia Xining suddenly wailed, "It's over, we've definitely been inside for more than a day."
Mo You: "There is no record of how he got out. The biography says that he took a nap in the Boundless Blood Demon Pool and got out on his own when he woke up. But he felt that he was only inside for ten days, while the demons outside said that he had been missing for ten years."
Everyone fell silent.
Song Yin broke the silence, "We must find a way out first, no matter what. Although we can't predict how time will change inside, our cultivation will still improve, and Xiao Tang is the best proof of that."
Xia Xining: "That's possible, but it would be even better if we could restore our spiritual energy, as it would make finding a way out much faster."
Song Yin: "Since Mo You said that the Blood Demon Pool we are in is also an illusion, it means that our power has not disappeared, but is constantly increasing. Try to treat it as an illusion and not be controlled by the illusion."
Song Yin's suggestion prompted several people and demons who had not yet recovered their spiritual and demonic energy to try it immediately.
Seeing through the inner layers of falsehood is true insight, and seeing through the surface layers of falsehood is also true insight. When they all perceive it as false, power naturally returns; conversely, the more they try to deny it, the less power they can regain.
"It's recovered! It's really recovered!" Chu Tang was the first to recover, so happy that she wanted to jump for joy, but she had to suppress it because there were so many people around.
The remaining few also recovered one after another, clearly in order of their cultivation level, with those of higher cultivation level recovering last.
With their spiritual energy restored and the flying boat back, they felt more confident in finding a way out. They didn't need to rush; they could simply count the days to see how long they would be trapped.
Even though she was anxious, Song Yin said to calm everyone down, "Let's take it slow, we'll get out eventually."
They may distrust other people's words, but they will not distrust the magical Song Yin.
My anxious and restless heart was miraculously soothed by Song Yin's magical words.
Song Yin was anxious to get out, and the demons and monsters outside were also anxious for them to come out.
Mo Ying didn't live to see her younger brother emerge from the Blood Demon Pool. Due to various reasons, she considered having the old Demon Emperor replace them. Unfortunately, while the idea was good, it would be difficult to implement, especially since the old Demon Emperor had a loyal advisor by his side.
At first, Mo Ying and her brothers and sisters had speculated that Jin Chen might be interested in the old Demon Emperor and want to become the Demon Queen. After much investigation, it turned out that Jin Chen was only loyal to the Demon Emperor and had no other ambitions. Rather than becoming the Demon Queen, she seemed to have a stronger desire for power and authority.
Mo Ying and the princes broke the ice because they decided to use the old Demon Emperor to nourish the Blood Demon Cave and Blood Demon Pool in their place, so that whoever succeeded to the throne would not be allowed to hunt down their brothers and sisters.
The situation was special, and this was the best and most unexpected method they could think of. No matter how the old Demon Emperor thought about it, he would never have imagined that his children, who were rivals, would one day unite to deal with him.
Mo Ying waited outside the Blood Demon Pool for a month, but when Mo You did not appear, she stopped waiting and returned home to carry out their plan.
In the plan, anyone can ascend to the position of Demon Emperor. If only one demon can ascend to the position of Demon Emperor, then it must be Mo Ying.
The first year since Mo You and the human cultivators disappeared.
Mo Ying and her siblings secretly annexed or destroyed important forces under the current Demon Emperor. While the current Demon Emperor was investigating the enemy, the princes openly confronted each other but secretly covered for each other.
The second year since Mo You and the human cultivators disappeared.
The current Demon Emperor's lifespan is nearing its end, and his princes are eyeing him covetously. His numerous schemes and executions have all failed, and the current Demon Emperor is clinging to life.
It has been three years since Mo You and the human cultivators disappeared.
The prince discovered the minister's plot and learned that the minister coveted the Demon Emperor's throne. The prince then joined forces to sever the minister's influence, ultimately killing him after six months. The minister's body was sent to the Blood Demon Pool, becoming insignificant nourishment.
In the same year, Song Yin and others, along with Mo You, were fully awakened.
It has been four years since Mo You and the human cultivators disappeared.
The current Demon Emperor finally reached the end of his life. At the moment of his death, all his children except Mo You were in front of him, each of them becoming a death warrant.
The long-running struggle for the throne finally came to an end. Mo Ying ascended the throne, while the remaining princes faced their inevitable fate, heading to the Blood Demon Cave and Blood Demon Pool, under Mo Ying's personal supervision. Unbeknownst to them, the old Demon Emperor's corpse was secretly sent to the Blood Demon Cave and Blood Demon Pool, allowing the princes to survive by changing their names.
"Bury the remaining half to the side," Mo You, now the Demon Emperor, instructed his subordinates from the outer edge of the Blood Demon Pool.
The old Demon Emperor's body was buried half in the Blood Demon Cave and half in the Blood Demon Pool by his children.
"Yes!" The subordinates who knew the details were all trusted confidants. They skillfully buried the remaining corpses next to the Blood Demon Pool. After being buried, the corpses quickly turned into blood mist and dissolved into the earth.
Mo Ying looked at the calm Blood Demon Pool, and thinking of Mo You who had not returned, she sighed, "Let's go back to the palace."
Just as Mo Ying turned around, the surface of the Blood Demon Pool began to churn violently, unlike its usual state.
All the demons turned their heads at once, only to see a flying boat suddenly appear above the Blood Demon Pool!
"It's out! It's out! I told you my method worked!" Mo You's voice came from the flying boat, and all the demons present heard it.
Mo Ying's pupils contracted, and she easily stepped onto the flying boat with a light touch of her toes, where she saw her long-lost younger brother and human cultivators walking out.
Upon seeing Mo Ying, Mo You immediately rushed forward: "Sister!"
Mo Ying opened her mouth, "You've been in the Blood Demon Pool all this time?"
Mo You was very excited: "Yeah, yeah! But sister, why are you wearing clothes that only the Demon Emperor can wear?"
Mo Ying: "Naturally, because I am the current Demon Emperor."
Mo You: ?
Mo You finished explaining in a few words, without telling them the details.
Song Yin and the others standing to the side had already widened their eyes, their minds filled with astonishment: "Is that even possible?!"
Song Yin: Oh my god, brothers and sisters unite!
