Chapter 137 Bloodline Resonance: Emotions come from experience and memory...
Chapter 137:
In the secret realm, even the flow of time is controlled by Chi Yu.
He could also temporarily take away Xie Xiyi's ability to use forbidden spells, but in the end he only suppressed the black fog.
Perhaps it was because Xie Xiyi gave him the impression that he was too unfathomable - not long ago, he had snatched the artifact Haotian Mirror from Wanqiongzhou from the hands of ten people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
Chi Yu didn't dare to push him too hard. If he let him take a gamble and destroy the secret realm, it would be more trouble than gain.
Chi Yu: "Brother Xuanji, you really didn't remember anything?"
Xie Xiyi chuckled softly, a hint of sinisterness lingering in his soft and pleasant voice. "Are you so anxious? How am I inferior to Xuan Ji?"
"..." Chi Yu said, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji, you are Xuan Ji. You just lost your memory. Why are you jealous of yourself?"
Xie Xiyi laughed and said, "You're lying again—if you truly believed I was Xuan Ji, why would you want me to recover my memory?"
Chi Yu paused, then spoke frankly, "Because memory is the bond of emotion, and since you have no memory, you can only love me based on instinct. But instinct can still be restrained and violated, which is why you often want to kill me."
"..." Xie Xiyi's laughter faded a little, "I didn't kill you."
Chi Yu said: "You killed me twice before."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
A familiar dull pain came over him, and he couldn't help but put his hand on his chest. The pain before seemed to have no source, but now the severe pain emerged so clearly from this heart that had not yet fully formed.
His heart beat even more violently, pumping out energy as hot as magma, burning his internal organs—this burning pain made him not care much.
Chi Yu didn't notice his unusual behavior and continued, "I don't think you need to be so resistant to regaining your memories. Those things are undoubtedly yours. That's why I'm by your side. You are undoubtedly my Senior Brother Xuan Ji, and never someone else."
Xie Xiyi wanted to lie, but the words melted away at the tip of his tongue.
He stood up without a word and prepared to leave.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji." Chi Yu also stood up and called out.
Xie Xiyi said, "No need to say more."
After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.
Chi Yu lowered his head, looked at Huandian who was still in his arms, and asked in a low voice: "Is he a little different?"
Huandian didn't care much and continued to buzz in his arms like a puppy, as if acting coquettishly.
Chi Yu laughed softly and said nothing more.

Two more days passed.
Xie Xiyi did not continue to attack the secret realm, but he disappeared without a trace.
Chi Yu was also anxious, but when he thought that even if many days had passed in the secret realm, only one night had passed outside, he managed to calm down.
The phantom lightning in his hand seemed to have endless energy and kept sticking to him. Chi Yu caressed him from time to time with his hands, while feeling the slightest movement in the secret realm.
Soon, he found Xie Xiyi.
He sat cross-legged on a mountain peak, but was not meditating. His back was straight, and in one hand he held a ball of Yuanpo emitting white light, kneading it from time to time, causing the other party to scream miserably.
Chi Yu: "..."
Well, no matter what time, Senior Brother Xuan Ji will never let himself be wronged.
A few days passed and Chi Yu calmed down.
He even played Go with Xue Yi.
Xue Yi said, "I didn't expect your Go skills to be so average."
Chi Yu laughed and said, "I just took a few months of interest classes. I'm sorry for making a fool of myself in front of you, senior."
Xue Yi said, "You always say things that I don't understand." After a pause, she smiled and said, "Maybe this is what makes you special."
Chi Yu picked up the chess piece and was about to continue playing chess when Xue Yi suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Chi Yu was stunned for a moment, lifted his thin eyelids and looked around, and sure enough, he saw Xie Xiyi's figure in the distance.
He waited for a while until Xie Xiyi walked up to him.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji." Chi Yu called softly, and his golden eyes seemed particularly bright because they were filled with shallow expectations, like a dazzling meteor.
Xie Xiyi sat where Xue Yi had sat and chuckled, "Who are you playing chess with?"
Chi Yu said: "A senior."
He stared at Xie Xiyi, his heart beating wildly. He couldn't help but call out again, "Senior Brother Xuanji." He paused, "Do you remember?"
Xie Xiyi said in a pleasant voice, "You seem to be asking me, 'When will you die?' I am truly heartbroken."
Chi Yu: "..."
It's all my fault, why should I worry so much?
In fact, Xie Xiyi has not changed in the past few days. Many memories have emerged, which are memories of his childhood in this body.
Up to now, Xie Xiyi has changed two bodies, and even in the black fog, there is still the first body whose spine he had extracted.
But no matter how he changed, his current body was born from the previous one, just like a snake shedding its skin.
Therefore, his flesh, blood, and bones, after all, are all mysterious things.
After having a heart, the memories in the body emerge continuously and gather in the heart that has already taken shape.
No matter what kind of creature it is, its emotions and personality are derived from experience and memory.
Even Xie Xiyi, who is now controlled by the devil's heart, cannot escape this rule.
He could have used forbidden spells to stop this change, but... he was so reluctant to disappoint Chi Yu, and he was also reluctant to let the hopeful light in his beautiful eyes disappear.
He could be so soft-hearted.
But he really couldn't kill Chi Yu, who changed him to this point, so he could only watch as his cold-blooded beast-like self began to be invaded by the mysterious thing.
The blood resonance finally took effect at this time, and he developed an irresistible concern for the family of this body.
Something was driving him to do something, making his blood boil.
Xie Xiyi hated this change, but he couldn't make up his mind to isolate himself from this influence.
He just smiled and said to Chi Yu as if nothing had happened, "I'm going out."
Chi Yu naturally said, "No, I can't let you out."
Xie Xiyi said, "I have something to do."
Chi Yu said, "Killing? I'm sorry, Senior Brother Xuanji, I can't let you out just yet. In this secret realm, at least time won't flow too quickly."
Xie Xiyi chuckled and said, "I'm going to rescue Xie's people—isn't this what you expected?"
Chi Yu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "Brother Xuanji, do you remember?"
Xie Xiyi denied it: "No, it's just that your thoughts are too obvious."
He grabbed the chess piece on the table and crushed it into fine powder. "I'm bored in this secret realm. Going out and killing some people is better than staying here in a daze. What do you think?"
Chi Yu looked at him suspiciously.
Xie Xiyi didn't say anything and let him examine him.
After an unknown amount of time, Chi Yu said, "Okay."
Xue Yi's voice reached his ears, "You have to think clearly. Once you let him out, it will be difficult to lock him back up."
This secret realm has a flaw. It requires the other party to walk into the city by themselves to enter the secret realm.
The first time Xie Xiyi fell for this trick, it might have been to play with Chi Yu, but he would never do it again.
Chi Yu replied, "At this point, I can only trust him. And I don't think Senior Brother Xuan Ji, who has always been driven by his demonic heart, would say the word 'save'."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xue Yi said no more.
Chi Yu put away the secret realm, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
Xie Xiyi disappeared without saying a word.
"Senior Brother Xuanji——"
Damn it, Chi Yuren is crazy, please at least take me with you!

On the other side, the monks who were chasing Xie Xiyi soon discovered that Xie Xiyi's disappeared aura reappeared and was approaching them.
Some people were incredulous, “What is he doing?”
"Come to hunt us down?"
The laughter suddenly rang out and then stopped abruptly.
Perhaps it was because Xie Xiyi was too unpredictable. Even cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing stage felt unsure about how to deal with him. Two cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing stage actually started to panic. "Xie Xiyi knows too many forbidden spells. Although you and I are at the Tribulation Crossing stage, we are not Soldiers and Disbanding Immortals. How can we possibly deal with him if we have been tainted by a little bit of Ascending Immortal Qi? It's better to retreat to Wanqiong Continent and make plans later."
"That's what I mean. Why don't we retreat back to Wanqiong Continent and make plans together with the Immortal Sect?"
Zhan Kuanglan scoffed, "Everyone, in the final analysis, Xie Xiyi was the cause of trouble caused by your family. You wanted to enjoy the benefits alone, but when something goes wrong, you drag us into the blame? How can this be justified in this world? Moreover, the Haotian Mirror was lost because of you, and fleeing without a fight has only tarnished the reputation of Wanqiong Continent. Everyone, please set a good example and don't let the cultivators from other continents in the Haoyuan Realm look down on us."
"you--"
"Alright, stop arguing. Since this guy dares to come to our door, why don't we set up a formation in advance and catch him in the trap."
"Not only did the last formation fail, but he also took three people away to transcend the tribulation. This time, without the Haotian Mirror, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it."
"Why not return to Wanqiongzhou..."
"Enough!" The one with the deepest cultivation in the Tribulation Crossing Stage shouted loudly, "We are only one step away from ascending to the Immortal Realm. You are all well-known figures in Wanqiong Continent. If we go back like this, do you think anyone will still believe us? Even if we are defeated, you must not escape. Kill Xie Xiyi!"
The others looked at each other, their morale barely lifted a bit.
Zhan Kuanglan looked at this scene and felt it was ironic.
In fact, if they unilaterally pursued Xie Xiyi, they would be extremely courageous.
But now, Xie Xiyi's aura was rapidly approaching them, which undoubtedly foreshadowed one thing - Xie Xiyi, with only his Yuanpo left, had recovered his strength and even dared to chase after the seven of them in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
In just ten days, Xie Xiyi was able to recover his strength, which also demonstrated the power of his forbidden spells.
How can this not be frightening and panic-inducing?
Those who can cultivate to the tribulation stage are only one or two steps away from ascending to the fairyland, so they value their lives more. It is no wonder that they want to escape when encountering such a situation.
The one with the highest level of cultivation, who was in the Tribulation Crossing stage, took over the burden of deployment and quickly organized the other six people in the Tribulation Crossing stage to set up a trump card formation, waiting for Xie Xiyi to fall into the trap.
Not long after, Xie Xiyi's figure appeared.
A person in the Crossing Tribulation Stage was very shocked, "His cultivation is still at the Golden Core Stage, his flesh, body and soul are perfectly integrated, it's not a possession."
"He actually rebuilt his body? How did he do that?"
"Is this also the power of a forbidden spell? How many forbidden spells does he know?"
Those of them who were in the Tribulation Crossing Stage were not cowards. They wanted to retreat and escape simply because Xie Xiyi was too terrifying.
People from Wanqiong Continent actually understand very well that the so-called forbidden techniques are actually immortal techniques and divine techniques.
These cultivators, even if they are in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, as long as they have not ascended to become immortals, they are ultimately considered "human beings".
Only by becoming an immortal can one use immortal arts.
If you are not an immortal or a god, you will have to pay a heavy price for using immortal or divine arts.
This is common knowledge among the top families and immortal sects in Wanqiong Continent.
As a result, this Jindan realm cultivator in front of him can actually use forbidden spells without any scruples and without any side effects. What an incredible miracle is this?
There was a man who was well-informed. He murmured, "No, this is wrong. This goes against common sense. The barrier between the Haoyuan Realm and the Immortal Realm is so deep that even we have to rely on the power of the ancestors of the Immortal Realm to barely use forbidden spells. But he is so reckless that he can even use forbidden spells to reshape his body in a short period of time. There can only be one reason -"
"What?"
"That means there's something wrong with his bloodline itself."
*
On a mountain shrouded in mist and clouds, a female cultivator stood on the peak and gazed into the distance.
A maid behind her whispered, "Princess, it's time to go back."
This female cultivator is Xie Qingning.
Xie Qingning covered his chest and laughed softly, "I felt the big brother, he appeared."
The maid opened her eyes wide, "Princess, you mean..."
Xie Qingning said: "Big brother is back."
After five hundred years of absence, it was not until today that Xie Qingning sensed the unique beating of Xie Xiyi from the resonance of blood.
*
In the huge palace, a young man with a face as pale as paper opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.
A clear bell rang out, and a handsome man lifted the bed curtain and snapped his fingers to clean up the bloodstain. "Hey, take it easy. You've been given quite a few elixirs over the years. If I collected this blood and sold it to mortals, it would give you an extra hundred years of life."
"Your Highness," the young man began to speak. His voice was hoarse and difficult because he hadn't spoken in such a long time. "Your Highness has returned."
"What? Where is your brother Aotian?" The handsome man, Raven, spoke hurriedly.
"I don't know." The young man closed his eyes again, his voice weakening, "Brother Aotian..."
He fell back into a coma.
"Hello?" Raven pushed him but failed to wake him up.
Xiao Jingyu walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "How is he now?"
Raven said, "It was just a flash of life, but fortunately, this man hasn't rotted away in our hands yet. He said his highness has returned."
Xiao Jingyu asked, "That Xuan Ji?"
Raven said, "Yes, we must go find him quickly. Don't let him die in my hands, or it will be difficult to ask for money later."
Xiao Jingyu laughed softly.
After spending so many years together, he deeply understood that Raven was just harsh in words. In the past five hundred years, he had gathered all the main ingredients of the elixir of immortality and refined this one and only elixir of immortality.
This little ball has survived until now thanks to this elixir of immortality.
If it was just for the resources to cultivate, neither Xuan Ji nor Long Aotian would be able to pay it back.
"If Xuan Ji can't repay this debt, ask him to exchange it for a single spiritual root." Raven cursed, "He can definitely do it. He was hiding it from me at the time, thinking I couldn't afford it. Now that I'm his creditor, I ask him to exchange it for you, so he has to do it, otherwise I won't give you this little ball."
Xiao Jingyu smiled dotingly, "Yeah."
