Ouch!
So painful!
Bai Qiulan had really never experienced such suffering.
As her strength grew, the explosion of Chaos Yin Power became more frequent, and naturally, the pain was even more intense.
Right now, this pain was worse than the previous bout of Chaos Yin Poison.
In her last life, she had Lu Ye with her the whole way.
Lu Ye not only helped her alleviate the physical pain but also eased her mental agony by telling the world that it was her stubbornness that needed his help.
But she just couldn’t get over that mental hurdle.
Back when she was in the First and Second Heaven, she held her pride, refusing to let Lu Ye detoxify her when the Chaos Yin Poison wasn’t manifesting.
However, when the Chaos Yin Poison flared up and the pain became unbearable, by the time they reached the Third Heaven, she reluctantly agreed to let him absorb the Chaos Yin Poison while she was conscious, under Lu Ye’s pleading.
But it had to be done with a blindfold.
And no touching!
By the Fourth Heaven, she had taken off the blindfold, and the two were becoming more normal, almost like Dao Companions. At that time, Bai Qiulan had not felt the pain of Chaos Yin Poison for a long while.
And then later, it was even less said.
She had suffered from hand, foot, and mouth disease.
She never imagined that merely in the Fourth Heaven, the pain of Chaos Yin Poison would reach such a terrifying level.
This meant that Lu Ye had to endure the same suffering back then.
At this moment, she desperately wished to transfer the Soul Capturing Technique and control Yue Hongling at all costs to help her eliminate the Chaos Yin Poison.
But she couldn’t do it.
All she could do was plead, beg.
But now, Yue Hongling was not giving her any leeway at all.
Just watching coldly.
This bout of Chaos Yin Poison lasted a full two hours.
Bai Qiulan was in excruciating pain, initially struggling and pleading, but eventually, she was completely frozen in place, her expression one of extreme struggle.
“In pain? Are you in pain?”
An Li’s indistinct voice echoed in Bai Qiulan’s mind endlessly.
Bai Qiulan didn’t respond.
Because she was now filled with a glimmer of hope: Lu Ye had almost forgiven them.
They could no longer get entangled with An Li; she had to change herself for the better.
An Li was also furrowing her brows uncontrollably.
The backup plan she left behind hadn’t been activated. Originally, she planned for the Dark God Sect to trigger it, but the Dark God Sect was totally incompetent and had been wiped out clean.
Now, the best course of action was to incite Bai Qiulan or Yue Hongling to activate the backup plan she left behind.
But evidently, inciting them was not going to be easy.
She had no idea what kind of mind control drug Bai Qiulan had been subjected to, because her dark side, which was already significant, now seemed to have diminished quite a bit.
The more prominent one’s dark side is, the more power of Darkness Origin she could use to influence the other.
Meanwhile, for someone with a minor dark side, like Shangguan Huanling, she couldn’t influence them at all.
An Li even felt like she was under the influence of Shangguan Huanling.
That woman was just too terrifying!
Finally, Bai Qiulan opened her eyes, her gaze filled with the relief of having survived a calamity.
She was alive again.
Yue Hongling approached Bai Qiulan.
“Feeling better?”
Bai Qiulan’s expression was complicated, “I’m sorry.”
It was just too painful!
After she uttered those three words, Yue Hongling suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, now you say ‘I’m sorry,’ what good does that do? If ‘I’m sorry’ fixed everything, my Senior Brother would have forgiven me ages ago!”
“No rush; anyway, I see that the latest bout of Chaos Yin Poison won’t kill you, so let’s make you experience this a few more times, so you can truly understand the pain I’ve endured!”
“Let’s see if you can learn a lesson!”
“Do you understand now that the pain of Chaos Yin Poison could actually kill someone? If you can’t endure it, neither can anyone else!”
Yue Hongling remembered how Bai Qiulan had relentlessly forced the Chaos Yin Poison into her body, and she was seething with anger.
Bai Qiulan’s face turned pale as she weakly nodded.
“Hongling, you need to remember to cultivate your Dao of the Fearless too.”
Yue Hongling’s expression shifted unpredictably.
Dao of the Fearless, Dao of the Fearless…
Her current Dao of the Fearless was continuously diminishing.
If she were to enter the Chaos Dao Field now, she was afraid she couldn’t even compete with a royal-level Dao.
She had to find a way to rebuild her Dao of the Fearless; otherwise, she would be done for.
But how to rebuild it?
There seemed to be only one way.
This Dao of the Fearless shattered before; it had appeared in her last life.
That was during the Dark Turmoil.
Her Senior Brother single-handedly battled four taboo existences.
There was really no time or energy to care about them, but Yue Hongling faced one of the taboos directly. Though she was saved, she endured immense fear.
So much so that her Dao of the Fearless began to crumble.
Later, her Senior Brother brought her along and they trained hard, eventually exterminating the taboo that scared her, which stabilized her Dao of the Fearless.
Face the fear directly!
To stabilize the Dao of the Fearless, she still had to confront her fear.
Currently, what she feared was pain.
Speaking of which, a Great Emperor practicing the Dao of the Fearless is actually afraid of pain—how ridiculous!
But the pain Yue Hongling experienced was far from ordinary.
Primordial Morning Mist could twist Lu Ye into a pretzel.
Chaos Yin Poison could frost Lu Ye’s life away and made Bai Qiulan contort in excruciating pain.
Either of these pains was something she couldn’t bear!
Not to mention, Yue Hongling had gone through the double whammy, leaving her with a psychological shadow.
She could help Bai Qiulan absorb the Chaos Yin Poison.
But it had to be under her control—absorb as fast as she wanted or as slow as she wanted!
The two of them continued to cultivate.
Yue Hongling had to admit that without practicing the Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra, merely cultivating the Eternal Countercurrent Sutra, her speed was really not that fast.
Of course, it was definitely faster than a regular Tianjiao, but compared to those who had been reborn or reincarnated Great Emperors, it was absolutely slow.
Time ticked by.
Soon enough, the second frenzy of Chaos Yin Poison erupted.
Yue Hongling remained unmoved by Bai Qiulan’s cries for help.
Bai Qiulan endured again, and after recovering, she fell silent for a while.
Too painful!
“Bai Qiulan, Sister Bai, join me! I have a way to resolve your Chaos Yin Poison. Just help me with one thing, and I can absolutely help you solve it!”
An Li’s voice became clearer.
“I don’t trust you!”
“If you don’t trust me, who else can you trust?”
“I wouldn’t trust anybody who isn’t you!”
An Li…
Bai Qiulan now had hopes of being forgiven by Lu Ye, so she certainly didn’t want to team up with An Li again.
She could still hold on!
The third bout of Chaos Yin Poison erupted.
Too painful, how to hold on? Who can hold on in such circumstances?
Finally, Yue Hongling moved.
The Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra circulated.
She came up behind Bai Qiulan.
“If you keep on crazily forcing the Chaos Yin Poison into yourself, the next five times, you’re going to have to withstand it all on your own!”
“I refuse to believe I can’t cure this nasty problem of yours!”
Her hands gently pressed against Bai Qiulan’s back.
