In the dimly lit environment of the library, Ye Tian was flipping through an ancient book in his hand, on which were engraved five characters— Profound Soul Suppressing Palm).
It sounds incredibly intimidating, but in reality, it helps to stabilize the mind and invigorate the spirit.
However, there's a lot of skill involved in striking out with that palm.
The slightest mistake could result in being mentally impaired for two or three days, or having a minor ailment like seizures.
After briefly flipping through it, Ye Tian didn't have time to ponder it carefully and went straight out to call for help.
A short while later, a row of Medicine King Valley disciples stood in the main hall of Medicine King Valley.
The ten disciples looked at each other, wondering what their valley master wanted to do.
Ye Tian pretended to cough twice. "Ahem, there is something that concerns the life and death of Medicine King Valley that I need you to do today."
Upon hearing this, the disciples' faces instantly became extremely serious.
"I need your help to test a cultivation technique..." Ye Tian said.
One of the disciples scratched his head, his eyes revealing a clear sense of naivety. "Valley Master, aren't we not allowed to conduct experiments?"
Ye Tian's expression was complicated. "This experiment is an internal experiment, what's wrong with it? And don't you want to use your brain and think about whose request this is?"
"Well..."
They understood what the Valley Master meant and what White Court wanted.
"Come on, Valley Master! I'll go first!"
A burly disciple stepped forward and volunteered.
"Good! Very good! You deserve credit!"
Ye Tian's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to the disciple. Then, while looking at the book, he aimed his palm at the disciple's forehead.
"Um... Valley Master... you... don't know how?" The disciple was a little scared at this moment.
"Yeah, I learned it on the spot. It's okay, I feel it's alright, not difficult."
Ye Tian didn't look at him directly, but just kept comparing his movements with the cultivation technique.
A gurgling sound rang out from Adam's apple.
The disciple felt that he had made the decision too early.
"Valley Master, why don't you learn first... I'll go first..."
"Oh! It's alright! Come on!"
"Huh? Wait a minute..."
"Bang!"
Before the disciple could prepare, Ye Tian channeled his True Qi, covered his palm, and slapped it against the disciple's forehead.
The disciple's eyes instantly lost focus, but his body remained upright.
Ye Tian looked left and right, anxiously awaiting the result.
It took about three minutes for the disciple to regain consciousness.
Just as Ye Tian was about to ask a question, he heard a very simple-minded voice:
" SpongeBob, let's go jellyfish hunting!"
Ye Tian: o.0?
"The jellyfish are over there, go catch them yourself." Ye Tian pointed in a direction, and the disciple walked away with a silly grin.
This situation made the other disciples tremble with fear.
Ye Tian suddenly looked at the other disciples. "Next!"
"That..."
"Hurry up! It's urgent!"
And so, one disciple after another entered the main hall.
"Patrick! Please don't bite my flute!"
"I'm ready!"
"Oh! Money! Ah~ this is the smell of money~"
"Hand over the Krabby Patty recipe!"
About fifteen minutes later, Ye Tian squatted down and wiped his face as he looked at the disciples standing against a wall.
You guys watched this in a group, huh?
No, that's not the key point. The key point is that we failed!
Ye Tian took a deep breath, studied it carefully, and then brought over another group of disciples.
This group saw demons and monsters by one side of the wall and had a very bad feeling.
"Valley Master..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up!"
"Bang--!"
The disciples all suffered a brutal attack, but this time it was different...
"Big Bear, I'm here!"
"Bald Qiang, you won't get away with this!"
"Stinky bear!"
Fifteen minutes later, Ye Tian covered his face with his hands.
Damn it, they even changed it.
After making some adjustments, Ye Tian had no choice but to continue.
If you don't succeed, you die.
He was also curious to see what else this group of people had watched!
A day later, the main hall was filled with disciples.
After the outburst, many disciples fainted simultaneously.
At this moment, Ye Tian's eyes were bloodshot, and there was only one disciple in front of him, trembling.
He took a deep breath, feeling the flow of True Qi, and stared intently at the forehead of the last disciple.
"Come!"
"Bang--!"
Ye Tian struck out with his palm, and the disciple in front of him leaned back sharply, but did not fall down.
Tense and uneasy gazes fell on this disciple.
Soon, the disciple stood up straight, his eyes looking blank.
"Who are you?" Ye Tian's lips twitched.
"Valley Master, I am who I am."
Ye Tian was overjoyed to hear this perfectly normal conversation.
At that moment, he even wanted to burst into tears. It had finally happened!
It must be said that Ye Tian is also a talent, able to learn this palm technique in just one day.
"Is it done?" Uncle Wu appeared in the main hall, his figure like the Grim Reaper bringing death.
"Alright!"
Ye Tian exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Then let's go."
Without saying a word, Uncle Wu turned and left, with Ye Tian following closely behind.
After Ye Tian left, the disciple's expression suddenly changed, becoming serious:
"That cunning frog keeps touching your belly!"
He pointed to a group of mad disciples by the wall.
"You are all murderers!"
Inside Jiang Junyi's private ward in Longevity Tower.
Jiang Junyi was sitting in a chair, with Ye Tian in front of him.
Ye Tian was under immense pressure at this moment, and cold sweat was pouring down his face.
Because behind him were the Black Palace group, and in front of him were the Trio from the White Court, Wan Qingyun, Uncle Wu, and Aunt Zhao.
After hearing about Ye Tian's method, they had to take precautions.
Aunt Zhao said coldly, "If you have even the slightest wicked intention in this, you will surely die without a burial place."
"No, no... I will definitely do my best," Ye Tian said with a forced smile.
This pressure is really overwhelming!
Jiang Junyi was on high alert, raising his head slightly. "Come on."
Ye Tian kept taking deep breaths, worried that something might go wrong.
Not only did Medicine King Valley explode, but he himself had to be in Medicine King Valley first, where he exploded on the spot!
Seeing this, Wan Qingyun unleashed wisps of black energy that transformed into several sharp blades, aimed at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian also felt a sharp, cold pain coming from behind him.
Taking a final breath, the emerald green True Qi surged wildly!
A palm strike was unleashed!
"Bang--!"
Jiang Junyi's head snapped back heavily.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment. In a world unseen by everyone, Jiang Junyi's illusory body suddenly sprang out of his physical body! Then it all rushed back into his body.
Heart Lake, a realm of illusion.
Jiang Junyi stood on a tranquil lake, looking around.
There was nothing here; the surroundings were an extremely empty expanse of white.
Where is this?
Jiang Junyi frowned.
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the Heart Lake beneath my feet.
"This is deep within your heart, which I call the Heart Lake."
A pitch-black figure with no face sat cross-legged in the air, propping up its chin, with something seemingly wrapped around its neck.
Jiang Junyi's gaze fell on the dark figure, his brows furrowing even deeper. "Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important; what matters is who you are?"
As soon as the shadowy figure finished speaking, a dense array of "Who are you?" text appeared around Jiang Junyi.
"What's the meaning?"
"Literal meaning."
"You're really lucky to have survived that much blood loss, and you only lost your memory." A dark figure suddenly appeared beside Jiang Junyi, walking along.
Jiang Junyi turned around abruptly and looked at the dark figure.
"I don't care who you are, is there any way to restore my memories?" Jiang Junyi said seriously.
The shadowy figure seemed to have no ill intentions, so he needed to deal with the immediate problem.
"Yes, but it will cost you all your Pure Love Points." The shadowy figure strolled by.
Pure Love Points? What is that?
Jiang Junyi frowned. "Okay."
"Besides that, you will also have to endure some pain." The shadowy figure turned to Jiang Junyi.
"It doesn't matter."
Really?
Before Jiang Junyi could react, he felt his head suddenly sink into a pool of water!
A feeling of suffocation, physical pain, and mental exhaustion.
Fear, panic, grief...
An endless stream of negative emotions surged in like a landslide and a tsunami.
Jiang Junyi felt like his head was about to explode!
"Splash!"
"Whoosh—! Whoosh!"
Jiang Junyi gasped for breath, his eyes filled with a hint of fear.
"How does it taste?"
"Everything you have is at your feet; it's up to you to see if you can bear it."
The shadowy figure pointed to the ground.
Jiang Junyi calmed himself down and looked down.
Scenes he had never seen before flashed across the bottom of the lake.
He fell silent for a moment.
I felt terrible just now, but I can't even say I felt terrible.
He even doubted whether that was something a human could truly endure.
There is no concept of time here, and Jiang Junyi stood there for a long time.
A series of happy and joyful scenes flashed by.
Wan Qingyun's joys and sorrows, her own worries and anxieties.
Two people's happiness, the same unforgettable love.
All of this swept over him.
"What choice do you make? Even if you back down now, it won't affect your future with Wan Qingyun." The shadowy figure stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Junyi.
"Oh."
Jiang Junyi smiled.
"How could I possibly abandon everything we had together?"
He looked at the shadowy figure. "I can't bear to see sadness in her eyes!"
After saying that, Jiang Junyi gritted his teeth and plunged headfirst into the Heart Lake!
