Chapter 94 (First published on Jinjiang Literature City): I really like you now! ...
Yao Sisi sat on the bed meditating, and seeing his timid manner, she thought he was scared. "Young Master, why don't you go back and hand in your task? And hand in mine while you're at it."
The sect is quite peaceful; everything will be fine once I return.
Her tone was flat, somewhat different from usual. Those who knew her well would certainly sense the lack of her usual vitality and liveliness, as if she were very tired and her words were somewhat powerless.
Qi Mu was not only familiar with her, but he also paid more attention to her than he did to himself. Every glance and every movement of hers was magnified in his eyes. He sensed this unusual situation more clearly than anyone else.
Only she herself failed to notice these differences.
"I want to go back with you."
Yao Sisi nodded gently, closed her eyes and sat on the bed. In her mind were the little boy's unseeing eyes and his face contorted with pain.
She knew she could never forgive herself.
She's a coward.
What's the point of her repairing this knife? What's the point of her practicing cultivation?
Do you want to be an old turtle who lives as long as the heavens?
she……
How could it have turned out like this...?
The spiritual energy in the air gradually became chaotic, and countless questions questioned her heart. She felt as if she had opened her eyes to look into the distance, yet she also felt as if she couldn't open her eyes, having fallen into a pale white maze.
This place is a mirror reflecting one's inner self. No matter how glamorous your appearance is, if your heart is ugly, it will be completely reflected.
She saw her face turn into a blurry surface of water, inside which was a struggling fish. The fish's tail had been cut off, and it was swimming desperately with its fins, slamming its uninjured back against the cold water.
One moment, then another.
The inner demon tribulation didn't come during the Golden Core tribulation, but now it's all come to an end.
Qi Mu, who was not far away, saw that her spiritual energy was disordered and there was a faint red flame mark on her forehead.
He quickly scrambled up from the cushion and stood protectively in front of her.
Can……
He can't interfere in the current situation.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he sensed the cultivation level of the person in front of him starting to rise, but now that the spiritual energy in Yin Hun Town was so thin, no one was willing to advance their cultivation here.
If one cultivates Yin energy or demonic energy, it's fine. But if one cultivates spiritual energy, and is discovered, there might be many people eyeing them covetously.
He quickly set up a concealment formation, and then added another layer of defensive formation outside the formation. By the time he finished, she had already reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
He breathed a sigh of relief, took out several mid-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, and placed them in front of her to consolidate his cultivation.
But after waiting for a while, she didn't see her cultivation level stabilize; instead, it continued to rise.
The spirit stones he placed there were absorbed in an instant. Qi Mu panicked and quickly took out all the spirit stones stored in his storage bag.
But it wasn't enough. He watched as the spirit stones were quickly absorbed, and her cultivation level had already risen to the late Golden Core stage.
Yao Sisi felt a sharp pain in her meridians. She had been practicing body cultivation for a long time, so she hadn't experienced such pain in her meridians from being stretched by spiritual energy for a long time.
She felt the fish beneath the surface struggling against the water like a salted fish trying to flip over, its life force seemingly pounding against the surface, and faintly, blood seemed to seep from beneath its bluish scales.
But it was very happy; it knew it was about to jump out of the pool that had trapped it.
Just then, she felt that her spiritual energy was insufficient. Just when she was about to succeed, her energy could not keep up. She seemed to feel herself opening her eyes and holding a bright red flower in her hand. Each petal of the flower carried the power of spatial rules, and the flower itself was full of energy.
When Qi Mu saw that she had opened her eyes, he hurriedly said, "Sisi...stop, don't advance any further, your meridians won't be able to hold on, stop!"
Yao Sisi felt a mosquito buzzing in her ear, which was very noisy. She raised her hand and swatted it, and the mosquito finally stopped buzzing.
She happily tore off a petal and put it in her mouth. The sweet juice traveled down her throat and into her lower abdomen, extremely fresh and sweet.
The sudden supply of enormous energy caused the previously listless fish to regain their courage and crash against the surface of the water, making the cold magic seal on the surface of the water sway.
Yao Sisi's cultivation level is gradually moving past the late Golden Core stage and she is about to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
It was at this moment that the fish finally broke through the magic circle and regained consciousness briefly.
She saw Qi Mu lying in front of the door, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. The surrounding area was covered by the magic array set up by the other party, and there were no signs that it had been disturbed by outsiders. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask him what happened, whether she had hit him.
But she found that she couldn't speak.
Qi Mu clutched his chest and slowly got up. "Sisi, don't advance anymore. Your Golden Core tribulation was extraordinary, and the Nascent Soul stage is even more difficult. Don't advance. Let's go back. Let's go back now, okay?"
Yao Sisi turned her head to look at him, understood what he was saying, but she closed her eyes and didn't listen.
I'm sorry, young master...
Qi Mu saw her pick up another petal, and then her cultivation level began to surge. Not only that, the formation he had set up could no longer withstand the impact of her spiritual energy.
what to do……
what to do……
He hated his own powerlessness; if he had been given more time, things would never have turned out this way.
It usually takes ordinary people many days to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but Yao Sisi's advancement this time was so fast, it didn't even take long...
Finally, all the defensive and concealment formations failed, and her situation was exposed to everyone.
Soon, many people with ill intentions flew to this place. It was too rare to see a cultivator advancing here. Was it because they could no longer suppress it?
Cultivators are at their weakest point when they advance in a cultivation stage; it's like easy prey delivered right to their doorstep!
More and more people came to watch her intently. Before she knew it, the roof of the inn where she was staying was cut off, leaving her completely exposed to the crowd.
Yao Sisi saw all sorts of people in mid-air, each with their own thoughts and different expressions, but none of them showed even a trace of goodwill. She also saw that the Black Blade Demon Cultivator was there.
She curled the corners of her lips and smiled at him.
He said familiarly, "You've arrived."
Those in mid-air seemed surprised by this turn of events, all turning their gazes to Black Blade. Someone asked him from afar, "What's going on? Do you know this person?"
The monk with the black blade was completely bewildered. "I don't know him!"
Yao Sisi closed her eyes, picked up another petal and put it in her mouth. Her immense spiritual power gathered in her dantian, and she formed her nascent soul.
The baby was conceived in full view of everyone.
A voice in mid-air asked Black Blade in a sarcastic tone, "You say you don't know me, so you don't? Why did you greet me? Are you plotting something?"
Some people said, "The newly formed nascent soul is the most tender and delicious. In a little while, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities!"
Inside the inn, Yao Sisi's nascent soul gradually formed. Interestingly, her inner demon tribulation did not appear, but the lightning tribulation arrived first.
The crowd in mid-air dispersed, retreating a kilometer away, waiting to pick up any remaining pieces of her energy when she was at her weakest after the tribulation.
Inside the room, Qi Mu saw that the situation was completely out of control. He sent a message to the sect's stronghold, hoping that they could come up with a solution together. He couldn't abandon her, and the sect shouldn't abandon her either.
Yao Sisi glanced at the sky, then turned back to Qi Mu, a cold smile playing on her lips: "Why don't you go out and hide, young master? This lightning tribulation is very fierce."
A distorted light flashed in her palm, and before Qi Mu could speak, she was pushed far away.
Those observing from a distance couldn't see where she pushed the person.
Yao Sisi utilizes the energy of spatial rules, and unless someone else also masters these rules, it is difficult to find a flaw in her strategy.
She looked up at the sky. The first lightning tribulation was still gathering power, and its overwhelming appearance gradually caused panic among the people below. Some even gave up on picking up any leftovers and started running away.
She saw that the street had become a deserted area. Yao Sisi got out of bed and scanned the room. She saw a familiar pair of gloves on the table.
She had spotted it on the street but didn't have time to buy it; it's likely that the young master bought it.
She walked to the table, put on her gloves, and spread her divine sense throughout the city. Her divine sense, which she had deliberately cultivated, was more stable and powerful than that of most people.
With a smile on her lips, she uttered, "Found you, Senior Black Blade!"
All the onlookers saw was her incredibly fast movement; in a few flashes, she grabbed someone from mid-air and murmured, "I found you unforgettable the first time I saw you. Come and join me in this tribulation!"
boom!
The first lightning bolt had already struck, and Yao Sisi, wearing gloves, had hands that appeared almost eerily pale.
Black Blade's pupils dilated: "Are you fucking insane?! You're dragging me into your tribulation? Get lost!"
Yao Sisi wouldn't let go, pinching even harder: "Why are you being so formal..."
Before she could finish speaking, the lightning tribulation struck the two of them. Blood seeped from Yao Sisi's mouth, and Hei Ren was in an even worse state. As a demonic cultivator, he had an instinctive fear of heavenly lightning, and this lightning tribulation was even worse. It took away most of his life, and he was already on the verge of death.
Yao Sisi looked up at the sky, then leaned closer to him and said, "Is it comfortable to hold a well-behaved child? I think Senior Black Blade is right, a person you like should also be comfortable to hold!"
I really like you right now!
The black blade's aura was weak. Upon hearing her words, it trembled and said, "No, no, I shouldn't have held it. I was wrong, I was wrong. Please let me go!"
Yao Sisi chuckled softly, her voice growing louder and more eerie, making those hidden in the shadows tremble with fear. Was another great demon about to emerge?
In the distance, Qi Mu steadied himself in mid-air. He had just been thrown far away by her using the power of rules, almost leaving Yin Hun Town.
When he rushed back, he saw her laughing freely, but it was a cold kind of freedom, not a happy kind of freedom.
He could tell she was unhappy.
"Sisi..."
Yao Sisi stroked Hei Ren's hair with her gloved hand and asked him in a low voice, "Where are your companions?"
Black Blade dared not hide anything at this point and told everything like spilling beans. Yao Sisi patted his head, her fingers tracing his hair down to his ear, much like a lover's caress, leaving the people in the distance looking on in bewilderment.
"You're such a good girl!"
Qi Mu, watching from a distance, showed a pained expression. He guessed what she was about to do. "Don't...don't get your hands dirty..."
But he was too far away, and everyone's attention was focused on mid-air; no one cared what he was saying.
He saw that the pair of white hands in mid-air pulled his head out with a forceful tug, and the nascent soul in Black Blade's dantian took the opportunity to escape, carrying the falling body away at high speed.
Yao Sisi looked up at the sky: "Where are we going? The tribulation isn't over yet!"
boom!
The second lightning bolt struck down.
The nascent soul didn't even escape the range of the lightning tribulation; it was directly annihilated into dust by the lightning tribulation, and its physical body also fell to the ground in a state of utter ruin.
Yao Sisi did not try to withstand the lightning tribulation; half of it was drawn back into the space by her.
The lightning tribulation expertly located the spirit's hiding place once again and struck down fiercely.
There are no good people around here; they are all burdened with sins, their hearts practically black. Yao Sisi glanced into the distance, wondering who she should ask for help from for the next tribulation.
As she looked so intently, those around her felt as if they were being stared at by a venomous snake, their bodies going numb. Taking advantage of the third lightning tribulation, Yao Sisi activated her spatial rules and quickly began to grab people again. This time, those she grabbed were immediately locked into her personal space. Everyone only saw whoever she grabbed disappear.
Terrifyingly tight!
She captured many people in a row, and when the lightning tribulation struck, everyone saw that those she had captured were thrown up like trash...
In the end, the lightning tribulation grew stronger and stronger, and Yao Sisi, no longer satisfied, tried to grab it with her bare hands.
On this day, a bloody battle took place in Yin Hun Town. Led by Lei Jie, and using one person as a raft, the entire town was extensively destroyed, resembling a chaotic battle involving tens of thousands of people, with severed limbs flying everywhere in the sky.
Something landed on Qi Mu's face. He wiped his face, and the smell of blood filled his nostrils. He looked at his hands and saw that his fingertips were stained with blood.
With her cultivation level soaring, has Sisi found the Dao Heart?
What path...
Evil cannot prevail over good; should we stop killing with killing?
He's sorry to her...
Qi Mu's usually gentle, warm face and her eyes that curved into crescent moons when she smiled suddenly transformed into a completely different sight.
The warm sun dipped below the horizon, while a chilly atmosphere swept in.
He turned his back, his eyelashes shimmering as if covered in frost.
Later, the frost accumulated more and more, probably because it was too heavy for the eyelashes to support.
Soon, the frost fell, hitting the ground and turning into tiny raindrops.
