Inside the Crystal Palace.
The divine light of the Heavenly Phoenix Domain shimmered like one overlapping illusion after another.
At this moment, it all seemed to blend into Ying Bing’s third eye. She couldn’t hold the Divine Sword in her hand, causing it to drop uselessly to the ground, buzzing pitifully, almost as if it were worried for its owner.
A tall and cool girl, her exquisite figure radiated divine light, which accentuated her icy skin and delicate bones. Her flowing black hair, surprisingly, bore a hint of frost.
With an expressionless face, her eyes conveyed both aloofness and majesty.
“She….”
Qin Yuzhi finally snapped out of her grief over the unfortunate demise of the Eighteen Arhats.
In fact, when she saw the Heavenly Phoenix Domain melding into Ying Bing’s third eye, it almost made her scalp tingle, and her spiritual cap nearly levitated off her head.
It was as if she had seen something more terrifying than the Dream God.
“Ice Chunk…”
Li Mo didn’t bother to look for any rewards. Instead, he reached out, intending to grab her.
“Wait!” Qin Yuzhi stopped him, her face filled with urgency:
“Quick, let’s go back to the coffin and lie down, just close the lid and pretend we saw nothing.”
“Why?”
Li Mo was not the type to get overly curious in a crisis.
But to this former semi-legend, now a head of the Huan Shen Sect, it was clear Ying Bing was showing signs of some uncontrollable change.
“Your little lady has three and a half of the Nine Phoenix Souls all in one place!”
Qin Yuzhi spoke rapidly, clearly frazzled.
“…..”
From her jumbled words, Li Mo faintly caught a few threads.
Phoenix Qi, bl**d Phoenix essence, Jade Phoenix Divine, Heavenly Phoenix Domain—all belonged to the Nine Phoenix Souls. Combined with that half-truth from Yun Meng Xian’s earlier words…
Could it be that Ying Bing was experiencing something similar to what Qin Yuzhi had gone through?
Reviving celestial gods?!
Thinking this, Li Mo felt his heart squeeze tightly, as if a piece had been gouged out, leaving a bottomless void.
“Is there any way?”
Li Mo first looked to Tian Miao for help, but her heavy expression and slow shake of the head dashed any hopes.
Then, he turned to Qin Yuzhi.
“A way… let me think…”
Qin Yuzhi showed a thoughtful expression, but then her face revealed confusion as she slowly squatted down.
“A way… is there even a way? I’ve been sleeping too long…”
Locking herself with secret techniques in a coffin hadn’t come without its price.
In her consciousness soul, many parts had gone blank, causing her memories to become hazy.
If one had to describe a symptom, it would be somewhat akin to a senile old man’s muddled thoughts…
After a while, Qin Yuzhi gave up trying to remember.
She scratched her head while squatting on the ground, mumbling:
“Maybe I just have a gut feeling that my current situation resembles how it used to be.”
“Maybe… it’s not that bad after all. After all, her realm is still shallow… as long as… hmm? What was I going to say?”
“Oh right, she might just be integrating with the Heavenly Phoenix Domain.”
This one isn’t going to cut it…
Li Mo felt the seventh-level powerhouse he’d expected was so unreliable.
“At the very least, we need to figure out what’s happening with Ice Chunk…”
He gritted his teeth, released his Taiyin divine intent, and braved the light of the Heavenly Phoenix Domain to move closer.
Ice Chunk stood there like a breathtakingly beautiful jade sculpture, a super presence that possessed an aura of authority over realms, dominating the atmosphere around her.
It was unclear whether this aura stemmed from the Heavenly Phoenix Domain or from her own essence.
At this moment, Li Mo felt as if he had stepped into the seed of a realm amidst chaos and uncertainty.
However, this time, he wasn’t the master of this realm.
He gritted his teeth and seized the power of the realm, trudging through the thick air, finally struggling to reach Ying Bing’s side.
“Ice Chunk…” Li Mo gently called out.
At that moment, he thought he saw Ying Bing’s finger tremble slightly.
A response!
Thus, Little Li lost all hesitation!
He grabbed her delicate hand, seized it firmly, and pulled her into his embrace.
Her exquisite body felt somehow even colder than before.
《Lush and Elegant》 activated!
Kind reminder: The top right corner of the page has functions like “switch between traditional and simplified,” “adjust font size,” and “change reading background color.”
This martial art has already been comprehended and progressed to a state of excellence by him through martial insights. Even though Ice Chunk’s consciousness was still unclear, he could forcibly awaken her consciousness soul.
The light of Taiyin divine intent once again shone behind her.
The two souls re-established their connection.
At that moment…
Ke Mo’s eyes exploded with brightness as he witnessed the births, prosperity, wars, ruin, and extinction of numerous realms…
In an instant, he felt like a spectator, unable to do anything, as if his consciousness was being ground to dust.
But at least.
He knew what Ying Bing was experiencing at that very moment.
It felt like ages later when Ke Mo finally regained clarity, and his first instinct was to look down.
That once colorless face regained its blush, the Cold Fairy lay quietly in his arms, gazing up at him.
Noticing his gaze, she slightly lowered her head, her holiness now tinged with a bit more liveliness.
“Ice Chunk?”
“Mm…”
Ke Mo felt slightly relieved in his heart.
“Wait!”
Qin Yuzhi’s expression remained serious; it seemed she recalled something and said in a grave tone:
“She might not truly be herself.”
“No way.”
Ke Mo shook his head; their souls were connected after all.
But Qin Yuzhi shook her head and said:
“That kind of change is subtle and imperceptible; she wouldn’t even know it herself!”
Just like a person with a mental illness believing they are fine?
Ke Mo’s smile vanished.
“But I have a method.”
Qin Yuzhi raised a finger, finally showing a hint of the wise aura:
“When there are other consciousnesses awakening within, they will forget things they would never do.”
“For example, the ancestral god of Yun Meng absolutely loves chess; there’s no way he’d play mahjong, so the real me would never forget how to play mahjong.”
Things they would absolutely never do…
Ke Mo looked at Ying Bing.
He saw Ice Chunk’s eyelashes quivering, her delicate lips slightly parting:
“You’re a gentleman who likes legs and feet, and you have so many naughty thoughts in your head…”
The Cold Fairy’s crimson lips began to blabber, ready to unleash a barrage of forbidden words like a machine g*n.
Ke Mo: “!?”
Well, that was unexpected.
And worse still, Tian Miao was right there, stretching her neck to listen!
Letting Ice Chunk finish, who knew what his nickname would turn into on the Qianlong List?
He could still be alive, but in nine heavens and ten earths, he’d be socially dead…
Ke Mo quickly covered her mouth, saying with a serious demeanor:
“No need to say anymore, I believe you!”
Qin Yuzhi: “?”
Tian Miao: “?”
What just bulldozed through their faces, leaving a mysterious tire mark behind?
The skepticism in their eyes shifted from Ying Bing to Ke Mo.
Was this invigorating?
It sounded somewhat exciting…
In any case, it seemed that the crisis surrounding Ice Chunk had temporarily eased.
Yes.
Temporarily.
What the few of them now had to face was another problem.
Ke Mo, with a face full of righteous indignation, changed the subject:
“We’re currently trapped; there are at least two forces outside, eyeing us like hawks.”
“When the doors of the Crystal Palace swing open, they’ll probably rush in like wolves and tigers.”
“Although it’s well known that I’m a genius, three cobblers together can outsmart Zhuge Liang. We need to brainstorm some strategies.”
“How do we escape?”
