Mu Chenxi answered honestly.
“I really don’t know if I can do it, because the power that allows me to descend here also comes from my Master.”
“My Master doesn’t fully understand this power either.”
“Then, are you willing to cooperate with me?”
Mu Chenxi spoke directly.
If Su Qiuyue wasn’t willing, she’d have to find other ways to strengthen herself.
“Yes, let’s cooperate.”
Su Qiuyue agreed without hesitation.
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of returning to the past to save her parents, she was willing to try.
“What do I need to do now?”
Su Qiuyue was particularly concerned.
“This time, there’s nothing you need to do. I came just to persuade you.”
“Since you’ve agreed, when I return to my main body, I’ll find you, and persuade you again just like now.”
Now that Su Qiuyue had agreed, Mu Chenxi also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Then can I meet your Master?”
Su Qiuyue hurriedly asked.
The reason she was so eager to meet Bai Yue was because Bai Yue was the key to traversing time.
Su Qiuyue had always believed that seeing was believing—only after seeing with her own eyes could she fully trust in cooperation.
Mu Chenxi was taken aback, then shook her head at Su Qiuyue with a grave tone.
“Not now. Because my Master is already dead in this future.”
“In this place’s future, the Fire Demon descends from a spatial rift and kills my Master.”
“The reason I travel back and forth through the future countless times is to find a way to save my Master.”
“To prevent this from happening, I came to seek your help.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Su Qiuyue frowned.
Things were far more complicated than she had imagined.
“Then when you return now, your Master is still alive, right?”
Su Qiuyue couldn’t help but confirm again.
“Of course she’s still alive.”
Mu Chenxi nodded, then added.
“But time is also moving forward on our side. The threat of the Fire Demon is drawing closer, and there’s not much time left to waste.”
Su Qiuyue understood, but her frown deepened.
“By the way, what is the Fire Demon’s strength?”
“On the surface, it’s at the Transformation God Stage.”
Mu Chenxi replied.
“The gap in realm was too vast—I couldn’t force out its true power. I can only be certain it’s at least at the Transformation God Stage.”
“If it were an ordinary Transformation God Stage, it wouldn’t be too difficult to deal with.”
Su Qiuyue analyzed, but her tone carried a hint of worry.
“But I’m afraid its strength isn’t limited to the Transformation God Stage.”
Mu Chenxi’s heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked.
“Why do you think that?”
“Because there’s a Boundary Wall between this world and the Ancient Demon Realm.”
“That Boundary Wall is like a fishing net. High-level cultivators from the Ancient Demon Realm are like big fish that can’t pass through.”
Su Qiuyue explained slowly.
“But if a cultivator actively disperses their own cultivation, they can slip through the ‘mesh’ of the Boundary Wall and reach the World of Cultivation. That Fire Demon most likely dispersed its cultivation in order to cross the barrier and arrive here.”
Mu Chenxi’s heart sank at these words.
She suddenly realized that what they faced might be a Fire Demon at the level of an Expert of the Wen Dao Stage.
Seeing Mu Chenxi’s expression grow heavier, Su Qiuyue spoke to comfort her.
“There’s no need to worry too much. After all, even an Expert of the Wen Dao Stage Fire Demon isn’t invincible.”
“Things are urgent now, so I’ll use the most extreme methods. Since you can go back to the past, that’s our greatest advantage, and we must make use of it. I’ll use Soulburn Return Essence right now to deduce a stronger secret art!”
After speaking, Su Qiuyue no longer hesitated.
She directly burned her own Remnant Soul, activating Soulburn Return Essence.
Mu Chenxi hadn’t expected that this secret art could be used in such a way, and she was both shocked and amazed.
After thinking for a moment, she also decided to forcibly activate Soulburn Return Essence, beginning to comprehend the Inheritance Su Qiuyue had previously passed to her.
After all, the understanding of the Dao contained in those inheritances was too profound.
Normally, it would take a tremendous amount of time to comprehend them.
Given the urgent situation, only this special method could be used.
The two sat facing each other, each activating Soulburn Return Essence, wholeheartedly increasing their power.
Yan Hua, who had been ignored, stood around bored, biting her finger and occasionally touching her own belly.
“Master, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
Yan Hua began to chat with Bai Yue inside her belly.
After all, Su Qiuyue was a Remnant Soul.
Her soul power was weak to begin with and soon burned out completely.
But the secret art she deduced turned into a silver-white light, instantly shooting into Mu Chenxi’s Sea of Consciousness.
Mu Chenxi’s Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly as she received this killing move named “Astonishing Swan Slash.”
She couldn’t help but be impressed.
Su Qiuyue’s Dao comprehension talent was indeed above her own.
With such an exquisite offensive secret art, defeating a Fire Demon at the Expert of the Wen Dao Stage didn’t seem impossible.
Mu Chenxi didn’t have time to think any further.
She hurriedly used Soulburn Return Essence to comprehend Astonishing Swan Slash, determined to fully master this secret art.
Gradually, her Soul also burned away under the continuous activation of the secret art.
Amidst a sharp, scorching pain, her Soul dissipated between heaven and earth.
The moment her consciousness returned, Mu Chenxi collapsed into Bai Yue’s arms.
Her chest heaved violently, her entire body drenched in sweat, her dress clinging tightly to her skin.
Clearly, forcibly activating Soulburn Return Essence caused intense backlash to her spirit.
Bai Yue looked at her with deep worry.
But Mu Chenxi raised her eyes to meet hers, unable to wait to share the good news.
“Master, I succeeded! Su Qiuyue agreed to join us.”
Bai Yue gently wiped the sweat from her face with a handkerchief and hurriedly urged her.
“Don’t talk yet. Come into my Sea of Consciousness quickly. The mental exhaustion this time is too severe. You need to recover at once.”
Mu Chenxi didn’t stand on ceremony and nodded.
Bai Yue held her hand.
In the next instant, Mu Chenxi’s consciousness directly entered Bai Yue’s Sea of Consciousness.
But this time, what appeared before her eyes was not the familiar hot spring scene.
It was a bright room.
Bai Yue was dressed in an ill-fitting Doctor’s Coat, with a blue-and-white striped Patient Gown underneath, the combination a bit mismatched.
However, the blue-and-white shirt inside was puffed up, enough to draw Mu Chenxi’s attention and make her forget the oddity of the outfit.
Bai Yue gave her a gentle smile and sat at the table, beckoning her.
“Chenxi, come here.”
Seeing Bai Yue’s gentle smile, Mu Chenxi felt that her Master was much more normal this time.
Though puzzled, she didn’t hesitate and obediently walked over.
Bai Yue motioned for her to sit opposite.
“Tell me about your situation.”
Mu Chenxi looked blank.
She had thought that entering the Sea of Consciousness was for treating her damaged Soul, but her Master before her seemed oblivious to that.
She could only explain.
“Master, I came here to heal my damaged Soul.”
“So that’s it. Looks like your condition really is serious.”
Bai Yue nodded in sudden understanding.
“It’s not that serious. Soaking in a hot spring like last time would do.”
Mu Chenxi reminded, still longing for a hot spring bath.
“Sorry, there’s no hot spring this time, so I can’t let you soak. Then… as a substitute, will you have some warm water?”
Bai Yue picked up the Insulated Mug on the table and poured some warm water into a cup.
She looked at Mu Chenxi.
Without waiting for Mu Chenxi’s reply, her tone turned gentle yet unyielding.
“Be good, come here, let Master feed you.”
