Boundary Angels and Sin Angels

Qian Renxue has been very frustrated over the past six months.

Everything was fine at first, especially in the three months immediately following the end of the Spirit Master Competition, when Su Cheng and she spent almost every day together.

Although they mostly just cultivated together, she was quite content.

In the real world, the two had never spent so much time together.

However, everything changed six months ago when Su Cheng's cultivation reached level sixty and he went to absorb Soul Ring to advance to Soul Emperor.

They had said it wouldn't take too long, but for some reason, they suddenly replied, saying they would have to wait six months before returning to Spirit City.

Moreover, the letter was sent from a major city in the western part of the Heaven Dou Empire, a place far away from Spirit City and Sunset Forest, which made her feel uneasy.

In the following six months, the other party never sent a single message back.

There have been no relevant clues from the various Spirit Hall Main Hall and Spirit Hall Sub-Hall- Halls located throughout the mainland.

However, even in this unstable state of mind, Qian Renxue's understanding of her two states of mind made rapid progress.

The reasons for this situation are also somewhat bizarre.

Generally speaking, mental instability is undoubtedly harmful to cultivation, and at the very least, it will lead to a significant reduction in cultivation efficiency.

But Qian Renxue's situation is different.

During this period, her main task was not to cultivate Soul Power, but to cultivate her mind and focus on comprehending the artistic conception.

When this happens, it may be a good thing or a bad thing for cultivators, depending entirely on their own qualities and how they choose to face such changes.

Qian Renxue benefited from this because of the unique nature of twin souls.

Although the process was by no means pleasant for her.

During this time, an unprecedented and intense conflict occurred between her two twin souls.

In fact, let alone the fact that Qian Renxue is now a dual-soul entity.

Even the same person may experience hesitation, disagreements, and difficulty in making choices when dealing with and thinking about many things.

What's more, what about two completely different souls, even with vastly different personalities, and both extremely self-centered?

The reason they were able to coexist harmoniously before was because they were both intelligent enough, shared the same obsession, and devoted their hearts entirely to Su Cheng.

However, when the conflict originated with Su Cheng, the tension and conflict between the two quickly escalated.

"... What are you still worried about? Are you going to stay in this lousy place and wait like an idiot?!"

"Now that the teacher has sent a message, we should wait patiently and trust his decision."

"Idiot! Is this a matter of belief or not? That letter is clearly suspicious! If Su Cheng isn't lying, then he must be in some trouble."

"If he can't solve the problem, our current strength will be useless to us, and we will only make things worse."

"That's better than doing nothing! Is the Spirit Hall such a powerful force just for show? What about Qian Daoliu? Bibi Dong? What about all those Titled Douluo elders?"

"They won't be willing to take action."

"Then let's stir up trouble, muddy the waters of this world. When the time comes, whether others want to or not, they'll have to take action!"

"This is not the situation the teacher wanted to see."

"How do you know he doesn't want it? Do you think Su Cheng is a saint?!"

"You're a complete lunatic!"

"You coward!"

"..."

Similar arguments have happened countless times.

The reason is quite simple.

One wanted to follow Su Cheng's instructions in the letter and wait patiently. The other wanted to actively search for him at all costs.

Fortunately, they restrained themselves and tried their best to maintain a basic balance. The conflict was temporarily limited to verbal disputes and did not progress to the point where they were expending their Soul Power to fight for dominance.

However, it is foreseeable that as time goes by, this contradiction will inevitably intensify until it eventually leads to self-destruction.

This is not because they are stupid or unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

For them, coexistence is already an extreme compromise.

Death is terrifying, but there are some things that are even harder to accept than dying.

If you keep giving in until you completely lose yourself, you might as well not exist at all.

It is precisely because of the constant struggle and confrontation between the two consciousnesses that their wills are rapidly strengthened in this competition, and they both try to outdo each other.

If Su Cheng knew that his disappearance had actually led to Qian Renxue's rapid progress in cultivation, he wouldn't know whether he would be happy or worried.

There is only one week left until the six-month deadline.

On the lake of Qian Renxue's heart, two stunningly beautiful figures faced each other directly.

One of them, dressed in white like snow, stood suspended in mid-air, holding a golden longsword. Behind him and beneath his feet, countless chains crisscrossed, resembling a cage.

Another figure, dressed in black, sat high on a throne, a black longsword hanging from his knees, surrounded by a dark, thick fog, as if standing on the Abyss.

Neither of them emitted the slightest energy fluctuation.

This is not a clash of strength, but a battle of wills.

"Madness and desire should be restrained by reason, and ultimately they will be restrained by reason."

As the golden sword pointed forward, chains swept across the sky like giant pythons and spears, Entanglement and encircling the black-clad figure opposite.

"You're wrong. There's no need to restrain it at all." Black Flame burned fiercely on the longsword.

The figure in black rose abruptly from the throne, radiating an astonishing majesty. "All living beings are sinful; there are no innocent people."

Without any further offensive moves, he slashed forward with his sword.

The black flames transformed into an overwhelming sea of fire, scorching the chains.

After a long stalemate, the flames gradually died down.

But before the flames died down, the golden chains gave way and turned into drops of golden liquid that fell onto the lake below.

Until it completely dissipates.

"You've lost." A cold voice came from the throne.

"You've gone too far," the figure in white sighed softly.

"No, it's because you're too weak."

The next moment, Qian Renxue in reality began to have Mo Hen appear on her white clothes.

It then quickly climbed and spread, turning everything completely black.

"There's still a week left. I'll go talk to that guy first." With a light hum, she turned and walked out of the Elder Hall.

The outcome of their confrontation was almost predetermined from the very beginning.

It wasn't that the main personality was weak-willed or lacked strength, but rather that she had too many concerns.

In contrast, the eccentric second personality is much purer.

Abandon life and death, abandon everything, and have nothing but the obsession in your heart.

In this situation, the combat power that can be exerted at the level of willpower will naturally be a level higher.

However, it is precisely because of this that the two souls can coexist and have the possibility of joining forces; otherwise, they would surely suffer mutual destruction.

The second personality is completely extinguished as soon as it appears, without any chance to grow further.

However, the dominant personality is also unlikely to escape unscathed; even if it doesn't die, its foundation will be severely damaged, and its soul will be incomplete.

The Pope's Palace in Spirit City.

Bibi Dong's brows were furrowed as she silently pondered her thoughts.

She already knew that Su Cheng had visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School.

Moreover, she also learned about the other party's situation at the time from the Spirit Hall Main Hall in that border city.

Given its unique location, she couldn't help but wonder if Sea God Island and Bo Saixi were related to Su Cheng's departure.

She hadn't thought deeply about Bo Saixi's question before because Ah Yin's previous answer had misled her.

She mistakenly believed that only she and Su Cheng possessed memories of another world.

But with Su Cheng completely out of contact during this period, it was hard for her not to suspect that there were other problems involved.

Although the Douluo Continent is vast, it is not difficult for High-level Spirit Master to travel there, nor does it take too long.

Even if something really happened, there's no need to go half a year without returning to Spirit City.

Besides, even if they couldn't get away, they wouldn't be unable to send a message.

She has decided that if the other party has not returned by the end of the six-month period, she will personally go to Sea God Island to check on the situation.

However, we should wait a while before doing so to avoid disrupting Su Cheng's action plan.

She believed that since the other party had set this deadline, they must have their own reasons.

"Bibi Dong".

Just then, a tall, slender figure dressed in black walked into the main hall.

Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised to see Qian Renxue suddenly arrive.

"What's up?"

"Send someone to find Su Cheng."

"This is not something you should worry about."

Bibi Dong frowned.

She had certainly done it, but Qian Renxue didn't know it.

She didn't feel the need to let the other person know.

In fact, Bibi Dong is in an even greater hurry than Qian Renxue right now, and she knows more inside information.

After hearing Bibi Dong's answer, Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow but did not say anything more.

She didn't care how the other person answered.

She's only informing them now; a week later, she'll naturally have other methods of her own.

"There's one more thing."

"Speak."

"After Su Cheng comes back, let him do the task you assigned him six months later."

"Why should I?!" Bibi Dong was furious upon hearing this.

"He said he would accompany me in my cultivation for a year, but the time wasn't up yet, so of course we'll make up for it later," Qian Renxue said matter-of-factly.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong became even more displeased.

She didn't think Qian Renxue had the right to say such things.

Su Cheng has done more than enough for her.

Whether it was treating her mental illness, planning 100,000 Year Spirit Ring for her, or even specifically teaching her cultivation, he did everything he could.

Su Cheng isn't her nanny, nor is he her deadbeat father, so why should she have to spend so much time and energy on him?

Moreover, Qian Renxue's cultivation method was not the same as Su Cheng's.

Bibi Dong believed that no one understood Su Cheng's cultivation path better than her.

"Absolutely not." She refused without hesitation. "Your agreement is between you two, it has nothing to do with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, a chilling, ruthless, yet extremely suppressed Killing Intent suddenly pressed down on her.

"This madman..." Bibi Dong's eyes twitched slightly as she sensed the other party's Killing Intent.

She knew that whenever the personality Qian Renxue appeared, she would act without any restraint.

But she never expected that the other party would be so audacious, showing no restraint in front of her and being so presumptuous.

The next moment, the two forces collided violently.

"Uh-huh--"

With a muffled groan, Qian Renxue staggered back several steps, a few drops of blood trickling from her nostrils and the corners of her mouth.

"Before you go crazy, know your own limitations," Bibi Dong. "Besides, it's pointless for you to say such things now. When Su Cheng comes back, ask him yourself if he agrees."

"Hehe." Qian Renxue chuckled, too lazy to argue, and immediately turned to leave.

"Wait." At this moment, Bibi Dong took the initiative to call out to her, gazing at her fair profile that was as sculpted as a sculpture, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of something called Immortal Herb?"

"What?" Qian Renxue's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this.

"Immortal Herb." Bibi Dong silently scrutinized her reaction. "It seems you do indeed know about it."

"..." Qian Renxue narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, "And how do you know about the Immortal Herb?"

"Chrysanthemum Elder has the illustrated guide."

Bibi Dong was not lying about this.

In her memory, there was the appearance of that Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. At that time, in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Su Cheng's initial choice for her was Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.

She also knew that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's Martial Soul was this plant.

Yue Guan's obsession with studying flowers and plants is well-known within the Spirit Hall, and Bibi Dong recently went to learn more about it.

Although the other party initially seemed secretive and reluctant to reveal his research findings to her.

However, after she casually revealed some of her knowledge in this area, she easily engaged in an in-depth discussion with Yue Guan about the research on Immortal Herb.

The other party even seemed to regard her as a close friend.

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's reply, Qian Renxue's eyes flickered slightly.

He then turned around and said calmly, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

"You've eaten the Immortal Herb, haven't you?"

"It's none of your business."

Seeing Qian Renxue walk away into the distance without turning her head.

Bibi Dong couldn't help but continue, "Is it the Lovesick Heartbreak Red?"

She paused for a moment, but didn't respond, continuing to walk away into the distance.

Bibi Dong, her face grim, stood there, gently clenching the Pope's Staff in her hand.

P. S., I've made a slight modification to the settings for the golden sword and the black sword.
