"Master Su, from the moment I met you on the first day and interacted with you, Yuxi knew you possessed a special talent, similar to telepathy.

However, because this is likely your special secret, Master Su, Yuxi pretended not to know and never revealed it.

Yuxi never expected things to develop this way.

But don't worry, Master Su, Yuxi will do everything possible to help you escape this crisis.

Master Su, you are very likely being targeted by Mystic Master Zhuge and Master Zhuge, so they staged an emotional drama to deliberately deceive you, Master Su.

Yuxi is certainly not one to gossip behind people's backs, but Yuxi sees through Mystic Master Zhuge's character very clearly.

Yuxi's former family was killed by Master Zhuge and those special existences from the Hua Clan.

Yuxi knew this long before Senior Hua was aware.

Yuxi observed for a long time, and it seems you, Master Su, accidentally awakened the Heavenly Secrets Soul, one of the Twin Souls of Demise. The Soul of Demise is the second soul of a Cultivator, and this soul is equivalent to a special innate divine ability, including various powers.

However, abilities related to Heavenly Secrets and fortune are extremely rare and precious. Of course, this is also what other Cultivators who truly understand this knowledge desire most.

Especially since you, Master Su, currently lack any matching cultivation realm, you will naturally be coveted.

Yuxi is saving you, Master Su, not only because you have always treated her with sincerity.

More importantly, Yuxi doesn't want them to succeed, because if they do, Yuxi will absolutely have no chance for revenge.

"Master Su, you must be very curious now, why does a seemingly naive and foolish seventeen-year-old girl have so many schemes, and why is there such a big difference between what she thinks internally and what she shows externally, right?"

"Because only with this kind of personality can Yuxi survive. Only with this kind of personality can Yuxi become sisters with the Saintess—of course, subconsciously, she has always treated Yuxi as a maid, not a sister.

The moment danger arrives, she will definitely suspect Yuxi first."

"Master Su, do you still remember what happened the first time you deduced the Saintess's secret? She immediately suspected that Yuxi and Master had colluded to scheme against her.

But before that, Yuxi had risked her life to save her a full five times.

One time, she almost shattered into pieces!

If not for that, Master Su, do you think Yuxi could have become a true disciple?

It's not just Yuxi; in fact, aren't all of us true disciples just "soul food" being raised?

The most fundamental reason Yuxi can truly live is her Mysterious Yin Sacred Body constitution.

This constitution is a treasure to any Cultivator.

And when you, Master Su, advised Yuxi to leave before, Yuxi actually couldn't leave.

Because the time for harvesting is almost here.

If nothing unexpected happens, Fang Yueheng will be the first to be harvested, Que Xinyan will be the second, and Yun Qingxuan, Yun Qinghong, Feng Qianqian, and others will also be harvested.

And what will be Yuxi's final outcome?

Either, she will be... apologies, Yuxi is not disrespecting them by not saying their names, but rather, people who cultivate the Way of Heavenly Secrets will have a special sense if their names are spoken, and then they will confirm that we are 'mentioning' them at this moment.

Yuxi's outcome will be her soul being suppressed, her seven spirits locked.

She will be treated as a tool for integration and cultivation, and then suppressed.

At that time, it could be the older generation of Zhuge, the younger generation of Zhuge, or even the older generation of the Hua Clan, possibly even Senior Hua...

Or it could be all of them together.

This kind of thing is bound to happen!

And each time, they will ensure Yuxi just barely survives, then use spiritual medicine to restore her to a similar state before continuing the harvesting...

This is the value of Yuxi's existence.

A medicine slave, a soul slave!

If the Holy Lord didn't genuinely care for Yuxi, Yuxi would have found a way to dissipate into death long ago.

However, dying just like that, Yuxi is very unwilling.

So, the last time Yuxi went out, she deliberately leaked information to Junior Brother SunJunior Brother Sun was also brought back by the Holy Lord, but he belongs to Imperial Lord Yun.

You should know who Junior Brother Sun and Imperial Lord Yun are, Master Su, right?

Yuxi's idea was that if she could be accidentally killed by the Puppet Death Warriors, that would be best.

If not, then she would be captured by Imperial Lord Yun. Although the outcome would be the same, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right, Master Su?

They want to deal with Master Su now, so Master Su is Yuxi's friend.

As long as they don't get their way, it's a victory.

Not only that, Master Su is the only one whose eyes were clear after learning about Yuxi's constitution, and the only one Yuxi truly respects, admires, and looks up to from the bottom of her heart.

However, Yuxi carries too much burden, so she cannot accompany Master Su all the way...

"I'm sorry, Master Su, Yuxi cannot say these words directly because, although they cannot directly deduce your actions or monitor you with formations, Yuxi cannot avoid these things.

Furthermore, Yuxi cannot be entirely sure that you, Master Su, can sense all these words clearly. Therefore, Yuxi is speaking these words very slowly in her heart, and has also used a great deal of mental effort to make these words clearer and more emotionally charged, so that your 'Heavenly Secrets Soul's' 'telepathic' talent can sense them more clearly.

Master Su, on the path of cultivation, the most terrifying thing has never been trickery, demons, monsters, or demonic souls, but the human heart!

Behind every Cultivator who embarks on the path of cultivation, there must be countless corpses."

So, if there was a great catastrophe that killed ten thousand Cultivators, perhaps there were indeed innocent people among them.

But, if there was a disaster that killed a hundred Cultivators, then there would definitely be no innocent people among them!

This is the world of Cultivators.

Master Su, if you can hear what Yuxi is saying, just blink your eyes.

If you cannot hear, or if your senses are unclear, then consider it a 'crisis premonition'."

Mu Yuxi wore a gentle smile, her large eyes shimmering with light.

However, her inner thoughts sent chills down Su Li's spine, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

This is a Cultivator?

This was a complete subversion of his thoughts and mind!

Moreover, Mu Yuxi had repeated these inner thoughts three times while wearing a shy smile like a village maiden before they finally faded!

Su Li did not blink. Instead, he pondered for a long while before saying seriously, "Since Fairy Yuxi says so, what you're thinking must be completely different from how you appear, right? My deductions show that Fairy Yuxi's Destiny is undergoing drastic changes recently, fraught with danger.

Furthermore, there's also the risk of... losing your purity and being schemed against.

However, there is a way out. In the Blazing Wasteland region, that Soul Suppressing Stele also represents a glimmer of hope."

Su Li thought for a moment and offered a reminder.

Now, including Mu Yuxi, he didn't dare to trust anyone.

Therefore, he didn't dare to respond to Mu Yuxi's inner thoughts.

What if Mu Yuxi was deliberately trying to 'test' him to see if he possessed 'telepathy' or similar talents?

Mu Yuxi's breathing hitched slightly, and the smile on her pretty face froze for a moment.

She sighed softly and said, "Master Su, Yuxi will not leave. Since Yuxi promised to protect Master Su, she will definitely protect Master Su, even if it means losing her life."

Su Li nodded and said, "Then, I will trouble Fairy Yuxi."

Mu Yuxi replied, "It's my duty. Master Su, please rest well. Yuxi will take her leave now."

Mu Yuxi bowed, then quietly withdrew from the courtyard and stood guard outside.

Inside the courtyard, ancient pines stood tall, with small bridges and flowing water, creating a picturesque environment.

But Su Li felt as if this place was hell, an abyss, unfathomably deep.

"It's almost time for the harvest. Once Fang Yueheng dies, this fuse will be lit."

"Then, we'll see how much Heavenly Secrets Value can be harvested."

"Once the Heavenly Secrets Value is harvested, the Life Archive can be refreshed to re-examine future changes. It can't lie to you now, can it lie to you in the future?"

"The key is that there's hope to buy the Latent Dragon Pill—but I'm afraid the Heavenly Secrets Value will suddenly exceed 100,000 and trigger an automatic upgrade!"

"If it upgrades automatically, I'll be even more passive. At that time, if there's extra Heavenly Secrets Value, I'll have to give up on the Latent Dragon Pill..."

"An automatic upgrade might unlock new skills. I don't know if new skills can help deal with the current predicament."

Su Li was very calm at this moment.

According to this method of harvesting Heavenly Secrets Value, a lot of Heavenly Secrets Value was consumed before, so once harvested, it could be a large influx.

With a large influx of Heavenly Secrets Value, it was highly likely to exceed the automatic upgrade threshold of 100,000 Heavenly Secrets Value.

This held various uncertainties.

"If I can resolve this situation, from now on, I must be extremely cautious! Moreover, having revealed some secrets inexplicably is a major taboo!"

"If possible, eliminate everyone who knows these secrets! Then, find a way to create a powerful 'Master'."

"Otherwise, I won't survive in this world!"

"I once thought that transmigrators would definitely have it easy, living carefree lives every day, and that a bunch of powerful figures would kneel and beg for mercy after I displayed some mysterious abilities.

Now I understand how cruel the world of Cultivators is!

Even ordinary people are not fools!

Let alone those old monsters who have lived for tens or hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years?"

"In such a world, if one doesn't tread on thin ice and act with extreme caution, the consequences will likely be dire!"

"No, not likely, but certain!"

Su Li's mood was heavy!

Whether in his past life or this one, he was a carefree, thoughtless, and even shameless person. But such a personality was simply courting death at the moment!

Su Li took a deep breath, then returned to the room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and brought up Mu Yuxi's Life Archive.

Mu Yuxi quietly glanced at Su Li's courtyard, a hint of loneliness appearing on her pretty face.

A moment later, she silently took out a jade slip and wrote on it with profound Runes: "Senior Mystic Master Zhuge, Yuxi has confirmed that what Master Su has revived is not the Heavenly Secrets Soul from the Soul of Demise, nor does he possess the talent for telepathy.

His telepathic ability is not strong; it's purely due to a soul mutation and the power of his inherited deduction."

"Moreover, it seems there are significant limitations on the number of times he can use this ability. But the specific limitations are unclear."

As Mu Yuxi spoke, she raised her hand and conjured a light projection, embedding it into the jade slip. She then used runes to transmit a message: "This is the process of my investigation. I've recorded a complete projection. Mystic Master Zhuge, please take a look. Master, Yuxi is willing to cooperate, willing to do anything! Please, Master, you must help Yuxi get revenge and kill that ancestor of the Hua Clan."

Afterward, she used a special hand seal technique to send the information on the jade talisman.

Then, she cast another deep glance at Su Li's courtyard, closed her eyes, and thought to herself, "Master Su, Yuxi knows you suspect me, but Yuxi will never betray you. Yuxi despises people like that, so Yuxi will never become like them!"

"This time, Mystic Master Zhuge wanted to use Yuxi, so he told me part of the truth and assigned a mission... Yuxi decided to play along and gave him a wrong answer."

"But this answer probably won't fool him for long because that Mystic Master Zhuge doesn't fully trust Yuxi to begin with."

"Of course, for now, Yuxi truly has no motive or benefit in being loyal to you, Master Su, so he will still believe me for the time being."

"Master Su, if we want to escape this calamity, we must hurry."

Su Li closed the Life Archive System and grabbed a handful of his hair.

At this moment, he even wanted to smash his head against the nearby table a few times.

Because he could no longer determine whether Mu Yuxi's actions were genuine or fake.

The intelligence of these Cultivators was truly terrifying.

To think that Mu Yuxi was only seventeen years old!

Seventeen years old, with such schemes and methods?

A spy within a spy?

Or was she truly sincere?

Su Li silently took out the Nine Night Spirit Sunflower Cold Stem and cast another divination for Mu Yuxi.

The divination result was, as always, the Heaven and Earth Hexagram Pi.

Then, he cast one for himself.

The result was also, as always, the Lake Wind Hexagram Da Guo.

The Da Guo hexagram, seventh in the Zhen Palace, represented making a huge mistake and indicated great misfortune, with everything going wrong.

Those who obtained this hexagram would be restless, their affairs would not go as desired, and they should not force anything, lest they have great regrets!

Moreover, Su Li had initially thought this hexagram could be changed, as changing it was not difficult with his abilities.

However, whether he tried to change it to the Lake Earth Hexagram Cui or the Heaven Wind Hexagram Gou, neither was possible.

Only by changing it to the Lake Heaven Hexagram Guai did Su Li see a glimmer of hope in his calculations.

The Guai hexagram, sixth in the Kun Palace, represented 'decision' or 'lack,' a state hexagram.

This changed hexagram signified that different matters would have different fortunes and misfortunes, warning that one should not delay anything; once a decision was made, it must be executed immediately and decisively!

But the result of this execution was unseen – unseen here, but the Da Guo hexagram predicted a very tragic outcome!

In other words, this was almost a dead end!

"Now, all we can do is wait for Fang Yueheng's situation to explode! Fang Yueheng, I beg you, don't believe my divination, so you can die even more miserably! And I can be free of any psychological burden!"

Su Li thought to himself.

At this moment, he thought of Yun Qingxuan again but immediately gave up – he no longer had any hope for that woman.

Currently, no one could be relied upon; only he himself and the system could be trusted.

Noon.

The Lishui Lake reflected the autumn sun, and purple lotuses bloomed like brocade, with colorful phoenixes soaring.

Fang Yueheng stood on his flying sword above the Lishui Lake of the Wanli Holy Land, sensing the wonders of water-attribute Spiritual Qi.

"Perhaps, after some more time, I will be able to revive the physical attributes of the Water Spirit Physique."

"It seems Master Su's divination has already gone wrong. Another half an hour, and the hour of Wei has passed, yet no one has sent a message!"

"These ordinary people who get puffed up after a bit of luck are ultimately not good enough. Besides, with Mystic Master Zhuge around, how could the Wanli Holy Land be in crisis?"

"I, Fang Yueheng, don't understand Heavenly Secrets very well, but I do know that when a Heavenly Secrets Master clearly states the future, that future is no longer the previously deduced future."

"He doesn't even understand basic common sense. This Master Su is truly a laughingstock!"

Fang Yueheng shook his head and smiled. He then sheathed his sword and stood on the water's surface before turning to walk on the waves.

Suddenly, his figure paused, and his sunny smile faltered slightly.

He then took out his Communication Jade Talisman and glanced at it.

The message on the jade talisman was from his father.

"Yueheng, hurry back to the family! Your mother, she, she was beaten to death by the Liu Family Members!!!"
