Another Wretched Soul in the World!
Upon hearing Purple Firmament's words, Shi Jian snorted with satisfaction. Everything was progressing smoothly, which was good enough.
But there's one thing.
It's like a thorn stuck in the hearts of many people at White Cloud Temple.
Sun Yao.
In the past ten years, the stone door to Sun Yao's meditation room has never been opened even once.
Ten years ago, she took that Cloud Dao Heaven and Earth Qi and announced that she would go into seclusion to prepare for breaking through to the Golden Core.
But the pressure she was under was simply too great.
She was too stubborn and too obsessive.
The near extermination of the Sun Clan, the shock of Sun Lin's death, and the loss of Sun Qiyan became insurmountable obstacles in her heart.
She shouldered all the pressure herself.
It's all or nothing.
Atop the mountain peak, amidst churning clouds, Yun Du stood with his hands behind his back, silently waiting for Sun Yao to break through his cultivation barrier...
Just then, the sky above the quiet room suddenly changed.
The once clear sky was quickly covered by a thick layer of white clouds. The clouds churned, a strong wind arose, and the world changed color!
"It's Core Formation celestial phenomenon!"
"It's Core Formation celestial phenomenon!"
Upon seeing this, countless disciples were overjoyed, cheering and jumping for joy amidst the mountains. But when Yun Du saw this, his expression darkened...
This celestial phenomenon seems a bit off.
A normal Cloud Dao phenomenon of Core Formation should be characterized by colorful clouds filling the sky and light, agile clouds. However, the clouds before us are as thick as lead, giving people an extreme sense of oppression.
And this scene is so similar to when Yun Tianfan broke through back then!
Quiet room.
Sun Yao sat cross-legged on the futon, blood already flowing from all seven orifices.
Within her Dantian, the Cloud Dao Heaven and Earth Qi was running rampant, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, completely out of her control.
She was unable to condense the Core Embryo for a very long time!
"Gather!"
"Gather them!"
"Why can't it coalesce!"
Sun Yao gritted her teeth and tightly formed hand seals, trying to use her own will to forcefully suppress the violent surge of Heaven and Earth Qi.
The more you suppress it, the stronger the rebound will be!
The meridians were ruptured inch by inch, and the pain overwhelmed reason like a tidal wave.
"Why...
"Why, it still doesn't work..."
Sun Yao's consciousness began to fade.
She felt her life force rapidly slipping away.
It failed.
She knew very well that she had failed!
With her battered body and cracked State of Mind alone, she was no match for the raging Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic.
"In the end... I still couldn't do it...?"
"I still have a great grudge to avenge, how can I die here..."
"Why..."
Sun Yao's eyes grew increasingly dim, her obsession ultimately dragging her down. She loosened her grip on the seal, and her tense body gradually went limp.
The raging spiritual energy, no longer suppressed, exploded completely within his body.
Sun Yao lay alone in a pool of blood, facing death in solitude. Her body had begun to take on a semi-transparent, misty appearance...
That was a harbinger of Dao Dissolution.
Sun Yao struggled to open her eyes, her gaze dull Lightless, finally managing a terribly ugly smile...
"I'm sorry, Master... This disciple is incompetent... I've disgraced you..."
"I'm sorry, Ancestor, it's all Yao'er's fault for being foolish and incompetent..."
"Yao, in the end, failed..."
Sun Yao's breathing grew weaker and weaker, and tears rolled down her cheeks...
Her vision gradually blurred, and images flashed rapidly through her mind like a revolving lantern. Sun Yao saw a long, long time ago.
At that time.
She was just a little girl with her hair in two buns. The Sun Clan Lineage was still around, and the patriarch always lazily lay on the mountain sleeping.
"Ancestor, Ancestor, please teach me Law Technique!"
The little girl, with great courage, tried to pull the bear fur off her ancestor.
The giant bear rolled its eyes and slapped her far away, but inadvertently improved her meridians...
He silently guided her in her breathing exercises, which became the starting point of her spiritual practice.
The scene changes.
As she grew up, she entered the White Cloud Temple. Her master, Yun Du, was a kind man who always smiled and gave her various elixirs.
"Yao'er, you must cultivate diligently in the future. The responsibility of White Cloud Temple will eventually fall on your shoulders. Do not let it go to waste."
Later on...
The sky collapsed, and the Sun Clan family was nearly wiped out.
That day, flames raged across the sky, the screams of the tribesmen filled the air, and blood stained the streets of Hongtian City, leaving corpses of the tribesmen everywhere...
She knelt in the sea of fire, watching as the ancestor descended from the sky, unleashing devastating thunder, tearing her enemies to shreds.
From that day on, her heart died.
What remains alive is merely a shell, a vessel built for revenge, for her sect, for her Lineage —obsessions that suffocate her...
The scene of Sun Lin's tragic death in the Kunyuan Secret Realm reappeared.
"Second sister, hurry..."
That weak cry became a nightmare that haunted her for ten years.
Witnessing these scenes, and reflecting on the ups and downs of her life, Sun Yao finally revealed a bitter smile before her body transformed into countless wisps of smoke and vanished from this world...
Her life was full of ups and downs. She was placed on high hopes by her family and teachers, and she also fought between life and death.
But in the end, nothing came to a satisfactory conclusion...
His life, spanning over a hundred years, was filled with regrets.
It's lamentable that she was one of the many pitiful people in the world who perished here, filled with resentment. After a hundred years, she returned to dust...
After Sun Lin's death, Sun Yao followed suit, Dao Dissolution peacefully.
At this point--
Of the second generation of the Sun Clan, only Sun Mao survived.
[P. S.: Sun Yao's aptitude is poor with only Three Spirit Roots, and her State of Mind is flawed, so her failure is reasonable. Life is never perfect, so please don't criticize me.]
