“What is it?”
Bai Yue saw the hesitation on Mu Chenxi’s face and couldn’t help but feel uneasy inside.
What Mu Chenxi saw just now was probably far from simple.
“Master, I… I saw Senior Sister.”
“What? You saw Yan Hua?”
Bai Yue’s eyes widened in shock, unable to believe it, almost thinking she’d misheard.
“I really saw Senior Sister Yan Hua in the future.”
Mu Chenxi confirmed seriously once again.
“How could Yan Hua appear in the Ancient Battlefield and meet us?”
“Let me see, quickly, what exactly happened!”
Bai Yue could no longer suppress her emotions.
She’d always cared deeply about Yan Hua, and now, hearing she had awakened, she was filled with both surprise and joy.
“Could this disciple who slept for so long really be so different from the rest?”
Seeing this, Mu Chenxi gently placed her hand on Bai Yue’s forehead.
The scene she’d witnessed earlier immediately unfolded within Bai Yue’s Sea of Consciousness.
Images flowed through the Sea of Consciousness.
Bai Yue saw herself dying, a faint light drifting toward the moon, and instantly understood.
Chenxi’s ability for Future Descent of Consciousness came from an Unknown Power within herself.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t actively control or harness this mysterious power…
Bai Yue continued to focus, watching as Chenxi, despite her damaged body, stubbornly endured, her heart aching with pain.
Soon, the scene skipped past that long day and night of waiting.
Next, Bai Yue saw the Fire Demon appear, her heart leaping into her throat.
Before she could recover, Yan Hua appeared as well, leaving her even more shocked.
At that moment, Yan Hua’s appearance sent a chill through her.
The speed Yan Hua displayed was astonishing, utterly unlike the weak little girl from her memories.
Moreover, Yan Hua was never able to cultivate, and now, without even using a trace of Spiritual Energy, the power within her was terrifying.
There was also that bizarre healing ability, completely different from ordinary people.
The images in the Sea of Consciousness continued, and in the next moment, Bai Yue watched Yan Hua kill the Fire Demon with a single punch.
Bai Yue’s mouth fell open in disbelief.
How could the little Disciple who used to cling to her and act spoiled possess such terrifying strength?
But what shocked her even more was yet to come.
Next, Yan Hua’s actions shattered the image of the cute and obedient little Disciple completely.
Watching Yan Hua eat Bai Yue’s ashes mouthful by mouthful, Bai Yue felt her scalp tingle.
But that familiar presence couldn’t be faked; she was undoubtedly Yan Hua—the awakened Yan Hua.
Perhaps her own death had impacted Yan Hua so deeply that she did something like this…
Thinking this, Bai Yue felt a pang of sorrow for her little Disciple.
“Master, are you all right?”
Mu Chenxi saw Bai Yue’s ever-changing expression and quickly asked, worry filling her voice.
“I’m fine. There’s just so much information—it caught me off guard. I didn’t expect Yan Hua to appear in such a way.”
Bai Yue regained her composure, gently raising her hand to stroke Mu Chenxi’s head.
“Chenxi, you did well. Truly.”
She knew that every death Mu Chenxi experienced was not an illusion.
Future Descent of Consciousness brought real pain to her Disciple.
Yet Mu Chenxi not only endured, but also managed to survive an entire day and night under such torment.
This resilience filled Bai Yue with deep pity.
However, this time Chenxi’s efforts were not in vain—she had truly found a way.
Since Yan Hua possessed the power to kill the Fire Demon, they finally had a means to break free.
“Master, let’s leave now and return to your original residence, all right? Let’s stay by Senior Sister’s side and wait for her to fully awaken. Senior Sister is so strong—she will surely protect you.”
Mu Chenxi said eagerly.
Bai Yue nodded in agreement.
“You’re right. We’ll leave now.”
“But we don’t know exactly when Yan Hua will awaken.”
“Let’s hope she wakes before the Fire Demon arrives. If not, we’ll have to find a way to hold on until she does.”
“Mm.”
Bai Yue nodded seriously, and at the same time summoned her Flying Sword, changing direction with Mu Chenxi to fly back the way they came.
Since the key to breaking free was Yan Hua, they needed to act at once.
As long as Yan Hua awakened, the Fire Demon would no longer be a threat.
Mu Chenxi and Bai Yue set out through the night, making it their top priority to return to Yan Hua’s side.
An entire night of travel passed, until the next night fell.
Only then did Mu Chenxi stop.
She leaned against Bai Yue’s embrace, silently waiting for night to fall.
When her consciousness once again descended into the future, this time Mu Chenxi did not see Bai Yue, but Yan Hua lying in a coffin.
This was what she and Master had planned during the day—to separate and observe the time when Yan Hua would awaken.
Master was still two mountain peaks away from Yan Hua’s location.
Before Yan Hua woke, they needed to keep their distance.
If the Fire Demon arrived early, this would also prevent Yan Hua from being put in danger while still unconscious.
As a familiar, tearing pain spread through her chest, Mu Chenxi clenched her fists.
She knew Master had once again been burned to death by the Fire Demon.
She remained hidden, untouched by the disaster, her eyes locked on Yan Hua within the coffin.
Clearly, Senior Sister Yan Hua had not yet awakened by the time the Fire Demon appeared.
For Mu Chenxi, this was terrible news.
It meant she and Master had to find a way to endure until Senior Sister Yan Hua woke, killed the Fire Demon herself, and protected Master completely.
At that moment, Yan Hua’s delicate lashes trembled—she was on the verge of waking.
“Senior Sister Yan Hua, Senior Sister Yan Hua.”
Mu Chenxi called her name, trying to wake her.
But Yan Hua still didn’t fully awaken—her body only trembled uncontrollably.
Half a day passed before Yan Hua finally opened her eyes.
Mu Chenxi’s heart sank.
It meant she would have to endure half a day under the Fire Demon’s attack.
How could she possibly survive?
As Mu Chenxi’s thoughts whirled in chaos, Yan Hua suddenly rose and transformed into a streak of blood-red light, darting away.
She completely ignored Mu Chenxi, not even glancing at her.
Mu Chenxi hurried to pursue her in Bai Yue’s direction.
Just like before, when Yan Hua saw Bai Yue’s remains, her once fiery red hair turned pitch black, her eyes dyed a deep darkness, and a terrifying power radiated from her.
However, at that moment, the Fire Demon was still pursuing the faint light that had become Bai Yue and had not yet returned.
Yan Hua carefully gathered Bai Yue’s ashes and swallowed them mouthful by mouthful.
Mu Chenxi wanted to rush forward and stop her, but as soon as she took a step, she felt Yan Hua’s deadly aura lock onto her.
She was forced to halt.
She knew that even the slightest movement would get her killed—Yan Hua would not hesitate to destroy her.
