Chapter 25: Painful Seven Days

Breaking Embryo.

Lu Ye successfully broke through the Breaking Embryo realm and returned to Bai Lan Peak at the Grand Dao Sect, slipping into seclusion.

He seemed unscathed.

In reality…

Lu Ye grinned; the pain was quite satisfying.

But in this normal state, the sensory amplification from the Primordial Morning Mist was still not as intense as the pain he endured from the Chaos Yin Poison.

Tolerable.

Not lethal.

Lu Ye sat cross-legged, his muscles trembling and twisting.

Chu Ling sat at Lu Ye’s door, guarding him, though she was utterly useless.

Yue Hongling stirred awake.

First, she was in a daze, then a jolt of realization hit her, and she sat up in bed.

“Master, how’s my Senior Brother?” Yue Hongling said anxiously.

Bai Qiulan replied gently, “Hongling, don’t worry too much, he’s fine now.”

“Seven days have passed?”

“Only a little over a day; it hasn’t even been seven yet.”

“That doesn’t make sense!”

Yue Hongling’s face turned pale.

“The Primordial Morning Mist lasts a minimum of seven days before it dissipates, meaning that sensory amplification will last for a full seven days.”

Sun Ruowei quietly stepped back, listening intently.

“For seven days, he certainly felt pain while breaking through, but now that he’s succeeded, there shouldn’t be any pain. What’s the big deal about seven days?” Bai Qiulan asked, confused.

“The Primordial Morning Mist is extremely domineering; even without any pain, its presence can still impart intense suffering. Just a breath feels like magma pouring down your throat, one training session is like being pricked by a thousand needles, and even a gentle breeze feels like skin being peeled away.”

“Master, think about it—there are only a few toxins in the world that can affect my Senior Brother. How could it be so simple?”

Bai Qiulan fell silent.

Right, there aren’t many things that could affect Lu Ye at the Celestial Lord Realm.

“But your Senior Brother seems completely at ease,” Bai Qiulan said.

Yue Hongling furrowed her brows tightly.

Why was that?

“Master, does my Senior Brother often endure pain?” Yue Hongling asked.

“How could he? He’s so strong, who could inflict pain on him?”

Bai Qiulan’s first thought was that it was impossible.

Lu Ye was invincible, battling against heaven and earth, countless talented warriors bowed at his feet.

Even in the fiercest battles, he never felt extreme pain.

“So why can he endure it?”

Yue Hongling said, somewhat broken.

“Isn’t this a good thing? If he can tolerate such pain, that’s a good thing!”

At least, it wasn’t Yue Hongling’s fault that Lu Ye was hurt.

She realized clearly that she had long since fallen deeply in love with Lu Ye.

Before her rebirth, she was obsessed with Feng Wuxie, but now, after rebirth, she hardly mentioned Feng Wuxie, completely fixated on Lu Ye.

Bai Qiulan didn’t dare to imagine what kind of pain Yue Hongling would feel if Lu Ye really died because of her.

“Is Senior Brother really okay?”

“Really okay!”

Yue Hongling jumped to her feet. “No, I’m going to guard my Senior Brother!”

She ran to Lu Ye’s door, and after Chu Ling glanced at her, Yue Hongling plopped down next to Chu Ling.

Chu Ling???

“I’ll stay here with you to guard Senior Brother.”

Chu Ling…

Bai Qiulan watched the two silly girls and couldn’t help but shake her head in exasperation.

It’s over; Yue Hongling is finished.

Sun Ruowei stared at the back of Bai Qiulan’s head with sparkling eyes. Did she hear something?

There are only a few kinds of toxins that could affect Lu Ye?

Lu Ye is so strong; who could bring him pain?

Wait, isn’t Lu Ye still in the Breaking Embryo realm? Why does it sound like he’s at least in the Unity of Dao realm from what you two are saying?

What is the reason behind it?

Bai Qiulan felt the intense gaze on the back of her head and couldn’t help but rub her forehead.

She vanished in an instant.

“Hey, don’t run!”

Sun Ruowei’s figure also disappeared.

Clearly, she couldn’t catch up with Bai Qiulan.

Bai Qiulan took a detour, shaking off Sun Ruowei, and arrived at a certain location.

Without much conscious thought, she ended up at Lu Ye’s favorite training spot.

The green mountains were picturesque, and the trees provided ample shade.

Bai Qiulan, not caring about the surroundings, sat on the ground in her flowing white dress.

She quietly gazed at this piece of heaven and earth.

But in her mind, Yue Hongling’s question echoed continuously.

“Master, does my Senior Brother often endure pain?”

Her answer was no.

But…

Just then, Bai Qiulan suddenly realized.

Lu Ye had also endured pain. Before he obtained the Great Yin Transformation Scripture, he could only rely on the Yin-Yang Technique to transfer pain away from her.

Pain was transferred to whom?

Obviously.

Sometimes, when Lu Ye couldn’t bear the pain, he would become particularly violent, and she couldn’t withstand it at all.

She felt conflicted and heartbroken.

During that time, Lu Ye truly experienced a lot of pain because every time, he bore the Chaos Yin Poison, leaving her ignorant of how painful it could be.

Could it be that…

No, if it was true pain, why would Lu Ye keep seeking her out?

It couldn’t be; it couldn’t be because of the Chaos Yin Poison.

The more Bai Qiulan thought about it, the more uneasy she became, so she forced herself to calm down, enjoying the mountain breeze while beginning her training.

Seven days passed in a flash.

Lu Ye not only withstood the Primordial Morning Mist; his Nascent Soul even bore a misty mark.

Yes, he had refined the Primordial Morning Mist into his Nascent Soul. Although the amount was small, using it against enemies—one could imagine how they would fare.

Correct, he gained an extra tactic in the early stages.

Later, he could just head into the Primordial Mist realm and collect more of the mist there—a direct upgrade in his arsenal.

Without personal experience, Lu Ye truly didn’t realize how effective the Primordial Morning Mist could be.

He gently made a small cut on his arm, and the pain nearly shattered his soul.

After seven days, he felt as if he had been reborn.

He glanced at his Nascent Soul.

Just a little version of himself, so vivid and lifelike. The reality of it, given its size, was clearly a Sacred Infant.

Sacred Giant Infant!

He was in the Breaking Embryo realm now, and if he continued this way, he could leave Yue Hongling and Chu Ling in the dust. At that time, they’d be on entirely different levels; he wanted to see if they’d be in despair or not.

Speaking of which, it was quite a leap in cultivation without any real trials.

The key was, there wasn’t much to challenge!

If he needed understanding, he had enough. If he needed the Dao, he had that too. Anything that was unclaimed—he’d just rush in and take it in the morning, and be back by afternoon.

He could even help improve some formations for the previous owner.

In this situation, what was there to train for?

Suddenly, Lu Ye felt a stirring sensation.

He froze, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

Dear Master, has your Chaos Yin Poison resurfaced again?

The Great Yin Transformation Scripture could indeed dissolve the Chaos Yin Poison, but the dissolved Chaos Yin must have somewhere to drain away.

Otherwise, if it stayed in your body while you dissolved it here and condensed it there, what good would that do?
