“It hurts so much!”
“It really hurts so much!”
Bai Qiulan had no time to deal with Yue Hongling’s madness, as the Chaotic Yin Poison was now erupting within her.
However, unlike before, this eruption didn’t cause any tangible harm. It only brought unbearable pain.
The two Lunar Marrow Worms seemed uninterested in the current Yin power or perhaps sensed some impurity within it.
Within Bai Qiulan’s mind, her inner demons began to swell, their influence expanding infinitely.
Thoughts flooded her mind.
Why?
Why couldn’t Lu Ye act like a real man and domineeringly claim her, making her completely his — body and soul?
He had taken her body but never made her heart submit.
Instead, she remained trapped in the shackles of ethics and morals, unable to free herself.
Wasn’t that Lu Ye’s fault?
He had already made her his woman, yet he continued to call her “Master” with every breath.
Yes, it was her request.
But even so, she was already his woman. Couldn’t he just ignore her requests for once?
No initiative whatsoever!
Acting like a husband in one moment and then like a disciple the next.
Moreover, they had already admitted their mistakes. Why couldn’t he forgive them?
Clearly, he was also at fault. They had already forgiven him, so why couldn’t he forgive them?
In their past lives, they had been so deeply in love.
And just because they made a single mistake, he could now watch them suffer without any remorse?
Lu ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) Ye — enough is enough!
She would show him that she could live perfectly fine without him. In fact, she would live even better!
Darkness began to pour rapidly into Bai Qiulan’s body.
The Lunar Marrow Worms squeaked and wriggled in agony. Yet, the darkness turned into whips, lashing the worms several times until they became obedient and quiet.
Fighting against Lu Ye was an impossibility.
A terrifying light flashed in Bai Qiulan’s eyes. She had to come up with a good plan — a plan to completely ruin Lu Ye’s reputation!
Bai Qiulan’s aura began to swell.
This black mist — it seemed to distort people’s minds.
But was it truly distorting them, or was it merely amplifying their existing thoughts? Who could say for certain?
Shangguan Huanling had just collected a massive haul of Dao treasures and was now obediently cultivating.
Her cultivation speed was agonizingly slow. She had only just reached the fourth layer of the Causality Realm.
Ah, the treasures that Lu Ye used to give her were so much better. A single item could elevate her strength significantly, and the True Essence it generated was far purer — unlike now, where everything was of uneven quality.
Some of these Dao treasures were truly treasures, while others were practically useless junk.
Still, Shangguan Huanling had come to understand how difficult life could be.
After all, she had resorted to picking up trash. No matter how poor the Dao treasure was, it was still a Dao treasure, and it was still something she could use.
At that moment, tendrils of black mist surged into Shangguan Huanling’s body.
“Oh, I miss Brother Lu Ye so much. I don’t want to cultivate. I just want to see Brother Lu Ye,” Shangguan Huanling muttered to herself.
“Cultivation is so exhausting!”
“If Brother Lu Ye sees me, will he hit me?”
“If he really slaps me, what would it feel like? Would I become obedient?”
The black mist: ???
The black mist that had entered Shangguan Huanling’s body promptly flew right back out.
“No, no, I can’t think like that. Focus on cultivating! I have to follow in Brother Lu Ye’s footsteps!”
The black mist surged into Shangguan Huanling’s body again.
“Aiya, I can’t cultivate. My mind is full of Brother Lu Ye. The Dao of Affection is increasing. No, I have to go find Brother Lu Ye!”
“Even if he slaps me, I’d still accept it!”
The black mist: ???
The black mist withdrew once more.
“No, I can’t waste time. Brother Lu Ye is about to ascend. I need to speed up my own ascension!”
The black mist...
At this moment, the Source of Darkness was at a loss.
Sigh...
This Shangguan Huanling...
The black mist vanished without a trace.
“Cultivate, cultivate! No random thoughts allowed! I must cultivate well and be Brother Lu Ye’s little tail!”
Shangguan Huanling finally obediently closed her eyes.
Lu Ye successfully broke through to the Unity Realm.
The Jiang Clan’s resources were almost entirely depleted. In fact, considering the sheer number of Unity Realm cultivators they had raised, one could only imagine how abundant their resources had once been.
But precisely because of this, one could also see just how terrifying Lu Ye’s consumption rate of resources was.
An entire top-tier clan’s worth of treasures had only allowed Lu Ye to cultivate from the Heavenly Fate Realm to the Unity Realm.
Now, Lu Ye could be said to be far more voracious than Shangguan Huanling.
His True Essence had been compressed, compressed, and compressed again.
Before breaking through to the next realm, he would continue to consolidate it as much as possible. Even if it only resulted in a minor increase in power, it would still be worth it.
In his past life, he hadn’t consolidated his True Essence, which only allowed him to fight across one major realm. It had been a massive disadvantage.
Now, by compressing his True Essence, he could potentially fight across two major realms.
It was a bargain!
A rumor began to spread from the Third Heaven.
No one knew whether the rumor was true or false, but the news was explosive enough to spread like wildfire.
The rumor claimed that Lu Ye was the reincarnation of a Heavenly Lord!
Not only did he possess secrets for becoming an Emperor or Heavenly Lord, but he had also left behind massive caches of treasure in every realm before his rebirth.
In the Third Heaven, the treasure was said to be located in the Abyss of Three Valleys!
Once this news spread, it sent shockwaves throughout the Third Heaven. Yet despite the uproar, few dared to provoke Lu Ye.
Of course not — the man was hiding in the Abyss of Three Valleys, a place infamous for its maddeningly intoxicating aroma. Who would dare to court death?
Unless the formations of the Abyss of Three Valleys were broken...
Everyone knew that Lu Ye himself wasn’t particularly powerful.
The real threat was the ancient formation protecting the Abyss of Three Valleys.
That formation was an artifact from an ancient era. Though it was old and worn, the fact that it had endured through the ages was testament to its terrifying power.
Back when the Jiang Clan was hunting him down, Lu Ye had been forced to use blood-red escape techniques repeatedly.
That formation simply couldn’t be broken!
Lu Ye was still unaware of this situation. That intoxicating scent was especially troublesome, preventing him from effectively communicating with others.
And for now, he had no way to dispel it.
He was running out of resources!
Unconsciously, he had already reached the third layer of the Unity Realm, and the Dao Scent around him now permeated an area of thirty miles.
Time to acquire more resources.
The Eternal Teachings Sect?
This time, they had been unusually quiet. And why was that?
Obviously because Lu Ye was powerful. No one seriously believed the Eternal Teachings Sect had suddenly turned over a new leaf, right?
If Lu Ye hadn’t had the Abyss of Three Valleys as his refuge, at least two of the top three would-be pursuers would have been from the Eternal Teachings Sect.
Therefore, everyone from the Eternal Teachings Sect was fair game. Killing any of them wouldn’t be a mistake.
That was just how the cultivation world worked — survival of the fittest.
And then there was the Wang Clan — another old foe. It was time to pay them a visit. As for the Invincible Sword Sect, they could be set aside for now. Their elder had merely intercepted members of the Jiang Clan, not clashed directly with Lu Ye. Perhaps he could consider letting them off.
Lu Ye took a step forward, leaving the Abyss of Three Valleys.
His divine sense spread out in all directions.
Before long, he heard the news.
“Did you hear? That Lu Ye in the Abyss of Three Valleys is supposedly the reincarnation of a Heavenly Lord! They say his rapid cultivation speed is because he’s found all the treasures he buried before his reincarnation!”
“Some say these treasures are enough to cultivate anyone to the Emperor Realm!”
“Emperor Realm? More like the Heavenly Lord Realm!”
