Free Web NovelChapter 320: Chapter 320: Ye Chuxue’s Mental Breakdown
Meanwhile, Song Wanning’s consciousness was still immersed in the creation of her new world, completely unaware of the changes to the Tai Chi Diagram.
She watched everything unfold before her, utterly shocked and amazed.
A new world unfolded before her. Amidst world-shaking tremors, heaven and earth began to take form.
Endless lightning and rainstorms followed, nearly submerging the entire world.
The thunderous roars seemed to pound against her Divine Soul, each strike making it stronger until, in a mere moment, it unexpectedly blossomed a soul flower.
Song Wanning watched in shock, only coming to her senses after the world finally settled.
It felt as if millennia had passed, yet also as if it had only been a fleeting moment.
The world within her body had been successfully created.
Song Wanning pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping across the new space.
For now, the world consisted of only sky and land, devoid of any living creatures.
It was like an enormous storage dimension.
Song Wanning wasn’t disappointed. This was only the beginning; it would surely evolve over time.
She explored a little more, still filled with curiosity about her inner world, but knew she had to leave for now.
There were important matters to attend to that could not be delayed.
Upon exiting her inner world, Song Wanning’s mind finally settled. But when she saw the changes in her Dantian, she was still taken aback.
The Tai Chi Diagram, in particular, was no longer a diagram. In its place, a gray orb rested quietly within her Dantian.
Her Demonic Qi and Spiritual Energy seemed to have fused. With a wave of her hand, the energy she released was also gray.
Yet, with a mere thought, she could instantly separate them back into Spiritual Energy and Demonic Qi.
These miraculous phenomena intrigued Song Wanning. She first rushed to the back mountain to test the changes, only returning home satisfied afterward.
Though her cultivation level was the same, the power in her every move had multiplied.
’Chaos Qi is truly something else.’
However, the Three Lives Mirror seemed to have exhausted its energy again and fallen back into a deep sleep. Song Wanning called out to it several times but received no response.
’Oh well. I’ll deal with Ye Chuxue and Gu Qingyuan first.’
Song Wanning looked toward the sky, her eyes turning sharp and fierce.
’It’s time to settle the scores from two lifetimes!’
「Demon Clan Territory」
Ye Chuxue and Gu Qingyuan had found a safer cave to hide in.
Ever since the appearance of that rainbow-colored light, Ye Chuxue had grown much more withdrawn.
Gu Qingyuan saw this and grew anxious. He questioned her, but got no answers, because Ye Chuxue herself didn’t know why she was reacting so strongly.
She just felt a deep sense of panic, a premonition that her future was hopeless.
She had never felt this way before, not even when her cultivation was crippled. ’Something huge must have happened this time!’
"Master, I have a feeling this has something to do with Song Wanning."
Ye Chuxue dug her nails into her palms, her heart filled with hatred.
She lifted her head to look Gu Qingyuan straight in the eye and demanded, "Master, you promised you would kill Song Wanning for me! You can’t go back on your word!"
Back in the Human Clan Territory, when her Master looked at the images from the Memory Stone projected into the air, there had been something off about his expression.
His gaze seemed to hold both admiration and nostalgia.
This made the insecure Ye Chuxue deeply uncomfortable. After all, before she came along, Gu Qingyuan and Song Wanning had spent over a hundred years together.
Their bond was surely anything but ordinary.
Now, as her own situation worsened, Song Wanning was shining ever brighter, filling her with deep unease.
Besides, women tend to fall deeper in love, while men always have a wandering eye. Her worries were not entirely baseless.
Gu Qingyuan paused at her words, a bitter smile touching his lips.
"Of course I won’t go back on my word. It’s just that, given our current situation, I’m afraid we won’t get a chance for revenge."
Gu Qingyuan was more clear-headed than Ye Chuxue. Ever since they’d been on the run, Chuxue’s personality had changed drastically.
Sometimes, she felt like a complete stranger to him, yet it also pained him to see her like this.
’Now, swept up in her emotions, she’s still thinking about getting revenge on Song Wanning.’
’Doesn’t she realize? Song Wanning can instantly kill a Divinity Transformation cultivator. If a mere Nascent Soul like me goes after her, isn’t that just a death wish?’
"Why not?"
Ye Chuxue shot to her feet as if someone had stepped on her tail.
"Master, you’re clearly superior to Song Wanning in every way! Even if she’s stronger than you now, she’ll never match you in the future."
"You’ve only been held back because of me!"
She strode forward, grabbed Gu Qingyuan’s arm, and started pulling him toward the cave entrance.
"Let’s go! We’ll find an opportunity right now! Let’s go!"
"We can definitely get our revenge!"
Ye Chuxue’s expression was frantic, her lips trembling as she spoke.
Her eyes were bloodshot. Who would have thought that this wretched figure was once a heaven-blessed prodigy?
"Chuxue, calm down! The most important thing right now is your recovery. Everything else has to take a backseat!"
Gu Qingyuan’s brow furrowed, and for the first time, he firmly shook off her hand.
"While the Demon Clan hasn’t discovered us, our priority is to heal your injuries and get you back to the Golden Core realm!"
His tone was harsh, laced with barely suppressed anger.
Disappointment flashed in his eyes. ’I never thought my beautiful love would become... this.’
Perhaps it was his tone, or perhaps it was the look in his eyes, but something struck the most sensitive nerve in Ye Chuxue’s heart.
She instantly snapped.
"You regret it, don’t you? You regret being with me! You regret abandoning her, don’t you?!"
"Gu Qingyuan, if it weren’t for you, I would never have ended up like this!!!"
Ye Chuxue screamed, breaking down completely as she vented all the fear in her heart.
Normally, she would have been able to speak with Gu Qingyuan calmly, but her nerves had been stretched too thin recently.
The slightest touch was enough to make her shatter.
And so, she questioned him hysterically, her paranoia convincing her that Gu Qingyuan truly did regret his choice.
"I don’t..."
Gu Qingyuan’s brow furrowed even tighter, his face a mask of helplessness.
But Ye Chuxue refused to believe him. The two erupted into the worst argument they had ever had, which ended in a cold silence.
This time, Gu Qingyuan didn’t try to patiently soothe her as he always had in the past.
This only made Ye Chuxue more certain of her suspicions, her eyes filling with hatred and a vicious glint.
’If Gu Qingyuan really dares to fall for someone else, I’ll kill him with my own two hands!’
’No one is allowed to betray me. No one!!!’
「Elsewhere」
"Senior, you’re here!!!"
Mo Yuan looked at the person who had suddenly appeared before him, a flash of intense, pleasant surprise in his eyes.
"Mm."
Song Wanning nodded. Seeing Mo Yuan again, her state of mind was much more peaceful.
"Are you sure it’s them?"
She walked straight to a chair and sat down.
Mo Yuan immediately came forward to pour her tea, answering seriously, "Yes, it’s confirmed. For some reason, both of their cultivation levels have regressed, and Gu Qingyuan’s hair has turned white."
"According to my spies, the two of them had a falling out recently and still haven’t made up!"
He snorted coldly as he said this.
’Back then, those two defied the entire world to have their grand, passionate affair.’
’And how long has it been since then?’
