Missing Thoughts Literature

But what of it? She still wore a mask, playing the part of a seductive consort who ruined the country.

She made the Jiang Emperor obsessed with her beauty, favoring sycophants and alienating wise ministers. She increased corvée labor and taxes, pursuing the path of immortality...

The Jiang Kingdom fell into dire straits, and everyone cursed the demon consort and the foolish emperor.

Meanwhile, she secretly contacted the former forces of the Sheng Kingdom, her influence growing.

However, the Grand Commandant of the Jiang Kingdom discovered her plot. Despite the Jiang Emperor's opposition, blinded by lust, he imprisoned her.

He said he wanted her to witness the shattering of her hopes with her own eyes.

The Grand Commandant colluded with Evil Cultivators to develop Gu poison to deal with the former forces of the Sheng Kingdom.

How could a mortal body resist the power of malevolent spirits?

The Sheng Kingdom was doomed to fall.

Bai Huan was unwilling. She tried her best, contacting the forces she had secretly cultivated in the Jiang Kingdom, and finally found the location of the Gu Mother on the eve of the war.

At that time, the Gu poison had already been released. To save the soldiers of the Sheng Kingdom, she had to control or kill the Gu Mother.

She couldn't kill the Gu Mother, so she swallowed it without hesitation.

How could a mortal body resist the power of the Gu poison?

She only controlled the Gu Mother for two hours before being backlashed by the Gu poison.

But it was these two hours she bought that allowed the Sheng Kingdom to achieve victory.

The Jiang Kingdom was destroyed, and Bai Huan returned to her homeland.

She thought she would be welcomed by her people, but she was met with cold stares.

They cursed her for her inaction during the massacre in the Jiang Kingdom, denounced her actions as a consort, and denied all her efforts to restore the kingdom...

Even when they learned she was poisoned, they feared contagion and threatened to burn her to death.

Disheartened, she found a quiet place, enduring the torment of the Gu poison while waiting to die.

It was on the day she was about to die that she was brought back to the Cultivation World by the former Old Ancestor of the Hehuan Sect, her Master.

Cultivators could not interfere in the succession of dynasties, but they could guide others.

"Thousands of years have passed. The Sheng Kingdom is long gone, and only I am still alive."

She spoke like a storyteller, her tone flat, as if the princess who rivaled gods with her mortal body was not herself.

Yun Luo perhaps understood her inner turmoil.

She feared that after giving her all, she would only be met with misunderstanding.

"Old Ancestor..."

Yun Luo wanted to say something, but Bai Huan interrupted her.

"Old people like to reminisce. Thank you for chatting with this old woman today. It's getting late, you should go back. The restriction on you can withstand the pressure of the Scripture Pavilion for half a year. I hope you comprehend it soon."

Yun Luo paused, then finally raised her hand silently.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor."

The sound of footsteps gradually faded. Loneliness filled Bai Huan's eyes, and the black hair that hung to the ground instantly turned snow-white.

She had burned her lifespan, yet still hadn't reached the Great Perfection of Tribulation Crossing.

"Master."

She murmured, looking at the portrait on the stone wall.

It was the previous Old Ancestor of the Hehuan Sect, her Master.

"When you died, what were you thinking?"

"Disciple might not be able to fulfill your last wish. Will you be disappointed?"

Yun Luo stepped into the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion once more.

When the golden book touched the restriction around her, it automatically displayed the second layer of the cultivation technique in the air.

Her cultivation had now reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but just a glance at the words in the air felt like a heavy hammer blow to her Sea of Consciousness.

Blood immediately trickled from her nose and mouth.

Yun Luo frantically drew spiritual energy from the Qi Yuan Pearl to prevent damage to her Sea of Consciousness.

"So this is what it means to barely manage."

She gave a self-deprecating smile and stopped looking at the words in the air.

She calmed the surging blood and qi within her body, then began to comprehend it according to the method of cultivating the first layer.

The first layer of the Moon Sea Tide Sound Technique only involved the tempering of meridians, while the second layer involved the tempering of the Sea of Consciousness.

It is said that the Ninth Floor can reach the realm of spiritual and physical integration.

Chapter 49: I'm Here to Cultivate With You (Page 2/2)

However, within the sect, only Martial Ancestor Bai Huan reached that realm; even her Master only cultivated to the seventh layer.

The Sea of Consciousness was once again repeatedly pounded.

Yun Luo felt as if she were a W, experiencing pain and pleasure in this pounding.

Ten days later.

As spiritual power flowed through the last meridian, the second layer of the Moon Sea Tide Sound Technique, Great Accomplishment.

Her apricot-colored dress was stained a reddish-brown, and Yun Luo once again resembled a vengeful spirit.

She excitedly rushed out of the pavilion, the Scripture Pavilion elder calling after her.

"Yun Luo, you, you succeeded?"

Yun Luo turned around, revealing a brilliant smile uglier than a ghost.

"Yes."

With that, she didn't look back and rode her sword back to Lingxi Peak.

The Scripture Pavilion elder was dumbfounded.

Wasn't it said that the Moon Sea Tide Sound Technique became more difficult to comprehend the further one progressed?

Why did Yun Luo do the opposite?

It had only been ten days from when she entered to when she came out.

"Terrifying, truly terrifying," she murmured, trembling. While taking out a jade slip to inform the elder group of the news, she also took out cultivation techniques, intending to cultivate.

The younger generation nowadays was more formidable than the last. If they elders didn't step up their game, they would lose their authority in front of the disciples.

Back at Lingxi Peak, Yun Luo took a refreshing bath in the spirit spring.

Although she knew the cleaning spell now, a dry clean was nowhere as comfortable as a wet one.

After relieving her fatigue, she left a message on a jade slip and then went to the Pill Pavilion.

She requested two bottles of Soul-Consuming Pills.

The Soul-Consuming Pills had no other purpose than to enhance pleasure. As the name suggested, they made dual cultivation more ecstatic and had no side effects.

Yun Luo patted her Qiankun Pouch with satisfaction and then rode her sword away from the mountain gate.

She was going to restock.

Inside the cave.

Pei Yanqing glanced at the Gongjia Token beside him; the progress bar on it had moved two-thirds of the way.

He had never felt twenty days could be so long.

His original plan was to hand the Chengying Sword to the Hehuan Sect, find a quiet place to go into seclusion, and retrieve the sword after emerging.

But on the first day, he had failed to uphold his resolve, and what happened, happened.

Thinking of this, he recited the Heart-Clearing Formula several more times.

"Next time we meet, I must not agree to her."

"Pei Yanqing."

Before his vow could be heard by heaven, a cheerful young girl's voice came from outside the cave.

His body stiffened abruptly, and for a moment, he wanted to burrow into the ground and escape.

Why was she here again?

"Pei Yanqing, are you inside?"

Yun Luo stood outside the cave and noticed that the restriction was two layers thicker than when she had left.

"Could it be to keep me out?"

She muttered and called out a couple more times. The person inside seemed to be sighing with helplessness as he removed the restriction layer by layer from the outside in.

Yun Luo walked into the cave and found that the spring water in the hot spring had disappeared, and the pool was filled with piled-up rocks.

A sly glint appeared in her eyes.

Pei Yanqing, after what they did, regretted it and thought it would affect his Dao Heart, so he blew up the pool to prove his Dao?

She walked forward and sat down familiarly beside him.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, is there something you need?"

"No, I just came to see you."

Pei Yanqing felt a little uncomfortable. "Don't you need to cultivate?"

Yun Luo: "Isn't it just to find you for cultivation?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

He suddenly choked, the exposed skin flushing with a rosy hue, unsure if it was from the coughing or from embarrassment at her astonishing words.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, you..."

He froze, pondered for a long time, then made up his mind, intending to have a frank and open conversation with her.
