Chapter 34: The Undying Fireworks

“Where exactly is your secret of not dying hidden?”

Liu Ruyan’s cold voice echoed in her ears.

“I don’t know.”

Mu Chenxi spoke unconsciously, but the voice that came out was Yan Hua’s childish tone.

“So you’re not going to say, huh?”

Liu Ruyan’s beautiful face twisted.

She grinned viciously, her hands forming claws, and forcibly dug out Yan Hua’s internal organs piece by piece.

The excruciating pain drowned Mu Chenxi once again.

She gasped in agony, her heart filled with shock.

Yan Hua can actually not die?

No wonder Liu Ruyan was so crazed, torturing Yan Hua in such an inhuman way.

Yan Hua… she’s undying!

Mu Chenxi could hardly believe it.

But thinking back to Yan Hua’s terrifying regenerative ability, and the countless corpses in the Sea of Consciousness…

All these facts confirmed it, forcing her to accept that Yan Hua truly possessed a nearly undying ability.

Her consciousness returned to Yan Hua’s Sea of Consciousness.

Mu Chenxi asked softly,

“Senior Sister, do you really have the Undying Ability?”

“Yes, I’ve always had it.”

Yan Hua answered honestly, her tone calm, as if it were never a secret worth hiding.

It was as casual as if Mu Chenxi had asked if she’d eaten, and she replied she had.

At the moment she received the confirmation, Mu Chenxi’s heart trembled violently.

Logically, Yan Hua was as close to Master Bai Yue as family.

For something so important, there was no reason she wouldn’t tell Master.

“You didn’t tell Master?”

Mu Chenxi couldn’t help but ask.

Yan Hua tilted her head.

“Master never asked… so I never said. I thought it wasn’t that important.”

She paused, then asked in return,

“Is this really important? Does it need to be specially told to Master?”

As she spoke, Yan Hua unconsciously touched her own small belly.

“Senior Sister, this must never be known to others. Besides me and Master, you mustn’t tell a third person.”

Mu Chenxi quickly warned, her tone carrying a rare gravity.

“Why?”

Yan Hua was puzzled.

“Think about it, the lifelong pursuit of cultivators is immortality, yet you possess the Undying Ability. This temptation is fatal to them!”

“If the secret leaks out, the entire cultivation world would go mad, and countless people would swarm after you. Even Master would be in danger.”

Afraid Yan Hua would take it lightly, she added another warning.

She knew well that Yan Hua cared most about Bai Yue.

“Then I won’t tell anyone else.”

Yan Hua immediately promised, patting her flat chest, her tone especially serious.

Only when she got Yan Hua’s assurance did Mu Chenxi finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then she refocused on training her spiritual consciousness.

She gently reached out her illusory hand, slowly touching Yan Hua’s charred body.

Suddenly, the scene shifted again.

This time, Mu Chenxi didn’t see Liu Ruyan.

Instead, she saw Yan Hua trapped inside a massive Dan Furnace.

The scorching heat inside the Dan Furnace was unbearable.

Yan Hua’s flesh was burned away bit by bit, only to quickly regenerate the next moment—burned and restored, over and over.

Mu Chenxi had once felt the agony of being burned by the Fire Demon, but that pain was momentary, while the torment before her was endless.

In an instant, she understood:

Liu Ruyan intended to refine the undying Yan Hua into a living pill!

The flames kept burning.

Yan Hua’s flesh was charred, then renewed, pain surging endlessly like waves.

Even though Mu Chenxi was only experiencing it through spiritual sense, she could barely endure this torment.

In the end, her consciousness directly collapsed.

The next second, Mu Chenxi jerked awake, gasping for air, drenched in sweat as she returned to Bai Yue’s side.

“Chenxi!”

Bai Yue hurried over to steady her trembling body, then swiftly pulled out a handkerchief, carefully wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead.

With worry in her eyes, she pressed,

“What happened? Did something go wrong in Yan Hua’s Sea of Consciousness? You look so pale—was the process of strengthening your spirit dangerous?”

“I’m fine, Master.”

Mu Chenxi shook her head.

Her voice was weak but firm.

“This method is actually very effective. It greatly improves the refinement of my spiritual consciousness. I believe with a few more attempts, I’ll be able to stand up to Su Qiuyue’s Remnant Soul.”

Bai Yue’s brows remained tightly furrowed, her voice stern with concern.

“Share with me everything you just experienced in the Sea of Consciousness. I need to confirm if there’s any danger.”

After all, entering another’s Sea of Consciousness with one’s spirit was no trivial matter.

A single misstep could damage the mind, even cause madness.

She couldn’t let Mu Chenxi take such risks.

It was a serious matter, and Mu Chenxi knew she couldn’t hide it from Master.

She lifted her hand, gently holding Bai Yue’s, and transmitted the scenes she had seen in Yan Hua’s Sea of Consciousness.

Flesh being torn apart.

The agony of burning in the Dan Furnace.

Liu Ruyan’s cruelty.

Bai Yue watched the image of Yan Hua’s repeated torment, seeing the charred body regenerate and be torn apart again and again.

She couldn’t help but clench her jaw, her knuckles turning white from the force.

That was her beloved little disciple, the child she’d always cherished as her own daughter, being tortured like that by Liu Ruyan!

Fury blazed in her chest like wildfire.

Her teeth ground together with a chilling sound, and even her voice grew cold.

“That woman… dared do this to my disciple—she deserves death!”

When she recalled the scene where Yan Hua admitted she was undying, Bai Yue’s heart churned violently.

Who would have thought that the little disciple always sticking to her side was actually undying?

What Bai Yue had picked up was not an ordinary child, but an immortal being.

An immortal being who could drive the cultivation world insane.

This truth made Bai Yue’s mind buzz, and her grip on Mu Chenxi’s hand grew slick with sweat from nervousness.

“Master, are you alright?”

Mu Chenxi felt the force in her hand and looked up, asking softly.

Bai Yue took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and loosened her grip.

“I’m fine. But… do you really intend to endure the same suffering as Yan Hua?”

“Senior Sister Yan Hua could do it, so can I.”

Mu Chenxi lifted her head, looking straight at Bai Yue without a trace of hesitation.

Bai Yue looked at her and could only sigh, raising her hand to gently rub her head.

Just thinking of both disciples suffering made her feel wretched.

“Then you must be very careful. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

She still repeated her warning, unable to let go.

“Mm, I will, Master.”

Mu Chenxi nodded obediently, then took Bai Yue’s hand and returned together to the Temporary Cave Abode.

In the following days, Mu Chenxi trained in Yan Hua’s Sea of Consciousness every day.

Her spiritual sense grew stronger through repeated pain.

But that day, deep within the Sea of Consciousness, she discovered a strange, massive lump of flesh.

Mu Chenxi approached and realized—it was a Great Stomach.

The bizarre Great Stomach pulsed continuously, making her uneasy just looking at it.

Mu Chenxi was about to reach out and touch it, but stopped herself.

She turned to ask Yan Hua’s consciousness,

“Yan Hua, what is this?”
