This time, no one was there to help Bai Qiulan absorb the Yin Poison.
The two Yin Marrow Worms within her body began to fight each other, stirring up immense amounts of Yin energy. The resulting pain was unimaginable.
Eventually, both worms fought to the point of mutual injury, no longer caring about the purity of the Yin energy they absorbed. They began to devour each other, allowing Bai Qiulan to catch her breath.
By then, five days had already passed.
The first thing Bai Qiulan did was turn to look at Yue Hongling.
At this moment, Yue Hongling’s expression was frozen. Her eyes were devoid of any light, as lifeless as a corpse.
Bai Qiulan’s heart dropped.
But she dared not attempt to thaw Yue Hongling. Being frozen by the Chaotic Yin Energy, if she were to unseal her without waiting for the Primordial Morning Mist to completely dissipate, the instant Yue Hongling was released, her soul would shatter.
They had to wait for seven days.
They had to wait until the Primordial Morning Mist had completely dissipated.
Bai Qiulan paced around Yue Hongling, restless and on edge.
Somehow, she had a terrible feeling that something had gone terribly wrong with Yue Hongling.
Time passed slowly. Every second felt like an eternity to Bai Qiulan.
Finally, the seventh day arrived.
The Primordial Morning Mist had dissipated.
Bai Qiulan cautiously began to dissolve the Chaotic Yin Energy.
Gradually, the ice melted away.
Yue Hongling’s body fell forward. Bai Qiulan hurriedly caught her, checking her condition, and let out a sigh of relief.
Not dead.
She’s not dead.
That’s all that matters.
“Hongling, Hongling, wake up. Are you alright?” Bai Qiulan gently called out to her.
Yue Hongling’s eyes were blank and unfocused. She wasn’t unconscious, but it seemed as though her mind was frozen, trapped in a daze.
“Hongling!”
“Hongling!”
Under Bai Qiulan’s repeated calls, a trace of light finally returned to Yue Hongling’s eyes.
She looked at Bai Qiulan, her voice hoarse and raspy. She asked in a confused tone:
“Who are you?”
Bai Qiulan: ???
Before she could respond, Yue Hongling started to laugh foolishly, “I remember now. You’re my master. You’re the master who used to sleep naked with me.”
“Hehehe... No, not just the two of us. There was someone else. Who was it again?”
“Ah, ah, my head hurts. My head hurts so much!”
“It’s Senior Brother. It’s Senior Brother. Senior Brother, I was wrong. Senior Brother, don’t hit me. Senior Brother, Senior Brother, Senior Brother...”
“Hehehe... Senior Brother is a big fool. He gave me everything good. He didn’t keep anything for himself.”
“I’m a bad woman, a bad woman... Slap, slap, slap...”
Yue Hongling suddenly started slapping herself viciously across the face.
Bai Qiulan stood there in shock, watching as Yue Hongling descended into madness, her disheveled ponytail swinging wildly as she slapped herself over and over.
Only one thought remained in Bai Qiulan’s mind:
Yue Hongling has gone mad!!!
“Hongling, calm down! Calm down!”
Bai Qiulan grabbed Yue Hongling’s wrists.
“Hongling, listen to me. Go to sleep. You need to rest. You’re too exhausted right now.”
“Master, I’m a bad woman. You’re a bad woman too. We both deserve to die, don’t we? How about we die together?”
“Hongling, stay calm!”
“You... you seem to deserve to die even more than I do.”
Bai Qiulan acted swiftly, striking Yue Hongling on the neck.
Yue Hongling: ???
“Why did you hit me? Who gave you the right to hit me? What makes you think you can hit me? Fearless Seal!”
Bai Qiulan: ...
...
Meanwhile, Lu Ye was oblivious to the fact that Yue Hongling had lost her mind. But he had his gossip system.
At that moment, he was still immersed in cultivation.
“Ding! Host, Yue Hongling has gone mad!” the system’s voice echoed in his mind.
Lu Ye didn’t stop cultivating.
“What happened?”
“Ding! She was hit with the Primordial Morning Mist by the crazy woman Yin Qingcheng. She nearly self-destructed and was sealed by Bai Qiulan using Chaotic Yin Energy. Although she didn’t die from the pain, ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ she was driven insane.”
Lu Ye’s lips curled into a slight smile.
Karma.
No one understood the pain of the Primordial Morning Mist better than Lu Ye. It was truly a pain that no living being could endure.
Even he had almost lost control.
That Yue Hongling couldn’t withstand it was entirely expected.
“Now that she’s mad, has she forgotten about me?” Lu Ye asked.
“Ding! Not exactly. It seems like she’s even more obsessed with you now.”
Lu Ye: ...
“Forget her. Keep cultivating!”
“Ding! Understood!”
Shen Xitong, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
After going mad, how was Yue Hongling going to face Lu Ye now?
Great. The system now had to figure out how to handle this too.
But Shen Xitong was confident in her abilities. She was incredibly intelligent, after all.
With the Dao of Seeking growing rapidly, Lu Ye’s cultivation progressed at lightning speed.
As he had calculated, in just three years, he had reached the peak of the Causality Realm.
The mysteries of the Causality Realm were something he had already comprehended in his previous life, but re-experiencing it now brought new insights.
Push through!
Last time, he hadn’t pushed himself too hard in the Heaven’s Mandate Realm, since he had been guided by an intense spiritual epiphany and had broken through effortlessly.
This time, with no such impulse, he decided to do things properly.
And so, he pushed to the limit:
Causality Realm Level Ten!
Causality Realm Level Eleven!
Causality Realm Level Twelve!
There was no further to go.
The eighth poison that hadn’t appeared last time didn’t appear this time either.
Breakthrough!
In that moment, his true essence roared.
In Lu Ye’s eyes, it was as if he saw the passage of millennia, the rise and fall of the sun and moon.
The Three Lives Realm was the first step into the domain of time.
Comprehend the three lives. Regret nothing in the present life.
When the three lives become clear, the Dao path becomes apparent. When the three lives are without regret, the Dao path becomes unyielding.
The Three Lives Tribulation was one of the more dangerous tribulations. The memories of past, present, and future experienced during the tribulation would merge seamlessly with one’s real memories.
For instance, if one experienced the death of their parents during the Three Lives Tribulation, once they emerged, they wouldn’t remember it as a mere illusion but as an actual memory.
A person’s life is a path forward. The Three Lives Tribulation was akin to throwing obstacles onto that path.
Whether those obstacles were blissful or agonizing, they would forever remain on that path.
...
Seventh Heaven.
Yin Qingcheng’s eyes were fixed upon the Three Lives Stone.
The stone glowed with three distinct colors, and at that moment, Lu Ye’s figure appeared upon it.
The moment he appeared, cracks began to form across the stone’s surface.
Yin Qingcheng didn’t care. Her hand pressed firmly against the stone.
“Husband, let me see your past life, present life, and future life.”
“Let me be part of every moment of your world.”
At that moment, Lu Ye’s Three Lives Tribulation began!
Simultaneously, Yin Qingcheng, using the power of the Three Lives Stone, entered Lu Ye’s Three Lives Tribulation.
Shen Xitong’s figure emerged beside Lu Ye.
Her brow twitched.
Yin Qingcheng had actually forced her way into the tribulation?
No way. She was going to watch the drama unfold too!
Shen Xitong’s figure also vanished into the Three Lives Tribulation.
