Chapter 642 It's Mother, she's come to see her.
The dreamscape of the Floating Pagoda began to collapse, and Jiang Liqian's complexion gradually changed from rosy within the dream to deathly pale outside. Ji Yan's figure also began to dissipate along with the collapse of the dream.
In the lingering dream, he suddenly looked up and, in an instant, pierced through the barrier of space, saw Xuan Yue standing by the Xuanlei Pool, her claws already revealed, ready to tear apart the Floating Pagoda Dream at any moment.
Xiaoyue stared intently at him, her eyes filled with hatred, resentment, and an endless despair and sorrow.
He staggered to his feet and stumbled toward her, but his fingertips couldn't touch her tears before they vanished.
“…Little Moon”.
-
Jiang Liqian thought that Ji Yan lured her into the dream to tempt her into becoming a demon, or to eliminate her in the dream, but she did not expect that he was even more ruthless and decisive than she imagined.
He had a backup plan; he used a dream as a trigger to forcibly activate the demonic seed within her.
Thunderclap raged through Xuanlei Valley, each bolt louder and heavier than the last. Jiang Liqian was covered in blood, and the entire lotus platform was soaked in it.
She felt incredibly uncomfortable, sad, angry, desperate... all the negative emotions rushed into her heart at once. She felt like she couldn't go on living, yet she couldn't even muster the thought of "not being able to go on living."
It was suffocating, terrifying; life seemed to have come to an end, yet it also seemed to drag on endlessly.
Xuan Yue soon noticed something was wrong with her. She called her name, but it seemed she could no longer hear her voice.
Then she saw a blurry, indistinct figure appear behind her, its gaping maw drooling as it approached her, trying to swallow her whole.
The gods have a strong sensitivity to demons; almost the instant the phantom appeared, she knew what it was. She never expected that the demon seed could cause Jiang Liqian, who possessed a lightning spiritual root, to give birth to such a powerful and terrifying inner demon.
—If she wasn't mistaken, this inner demon actually wanted to devour its master, replace her, and become a true "human" who could walk under the rules of the world!
That's almost impossible!
Inner demons can destroy a cultivator's path to immortality and lead them astray into evil. However, in her countless lifetimes, she has never seen anything that could devour a cultivator and completely replace them.
"Li Qian, wake up! Don't fall!" Xuan Yue hurriedly cast a spell, sending his divine power into her dantian, trying to forcibly suppress the blood mist on it.
Just with little success.
This level of inner demons is beyond the reach of external forces to stop.
Once she falls into demonic possession, the heavenly lightning of the Xuanlei Pool will obliterate her!
[Ding! Master's inner demon backlash value has increased by nine percent, currently at one percent...]
[Ding! Little Master's inner demons have reached one percent backlash value...]
[Ding! Little Master's inner demons have reached one percent backlash value...]
【one……】
【one……】
【one……】
The character "百" (hundred) that was about to be uttered was like a broken mechanical part, stuck in the same place over and over again, echoing and repetitively, creating an eerie and unsettling feeling that sent chills down one's spine.
Xuan Yue's heart was in her throat.
"Li Qian!"
"Jiang Liqian!"
"Jiang Liqian!"
Jiang Liqian could no longer feel the pain in her body; her soul felt incredibly light, as if it were about to fly to the clouds. The surrounding mist was thick, obscuring her vision, but faintly, it seemed someone was calling her, the voice growing clearer and more urgent with each passing moment.
"Li Qian!" "Li Qian!"
who is it?
who is it?
She knows this person, she must know this person!
Her heart was pounding so hard she rushed toward that spot.
The sound came from afar and then from near and then away, intermittent and faint.
Peeling back the last layer of mist, a person she hadn't seen for a very, very long time appeared before her eyes.
Her pupils trembled violently, and Jiang Liqian almost staggered as she rushed over.
"Lianlian...Sister—!"
As the clouds and mist dissipated, Shui Lian'er, with a charming smile, tilted her head, blinked her beautiful big eyes, and pouted coquettishly: "Li Qian, why did it take you so long to come to me? I've been waiting for you for so long! It's so boring here!"
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Jiang Liqian hugged her tightly, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
She promised to protect her.
She promised!
Shui Lian'er patted her back gently, her clear voice tinged with hesitation: "Li Qian, where's Bei Yao? Didn't he say he was going to play with me? But I've been waiting here for years and he still hasn't come... Why don't you ask him for me if he went to play with someone else and forgot about me?"
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Liqian felt as if her heart had been split in two, the pain causing her to gasp for breath.
Her lips trembled, and she opened her mouth several times but could not make a sound.
How could she tell her that she was even powerless to bury her and Bei Yao together?
She was such a failure, so weak, yet ridiculously arrogant, that she ruined them all.
She's a murderer...
"Li Qian, I'm so lonely. There's no one here. Will you stay with me? Please stay with me!"
Jiang Liqian hugged her tightly.
"it is good……"
He uttered half a syllable of a word when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.
"Sister..."
"Sister..."
Jiang Liqian paused, turning around to look at the thick, dark fog behind her.
“Senior Sister——!”
Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Junior brother..."
It's Junior Brother, it's Ayou, right?
"Don't go, don't go..."
"Senior sister!"
Jiang Li turned around slightly, but was tightly hugged by Shui Lian'er behind her.
"No, Li Qian, you said you would stay with me, you are mine!"
Are you still going to break your promise to me?
Jiang Liqian's body stiffened instantly.
Then she heard her master's voice again, calling her with a helpless yet amused tone, "Qian'er, my good disciple."
I couldn't stop crying.
Is this her dream?
Or is it her paradise?
Why could she see so many people who had cruelly left her? They were all hidden in the mist, calling her name again and again, so expectant, so happy, just like before.
She wants to stay here.
She wanted to be with them forever!
She didn't want to be alone anymore...
Just as she was about to be enveloped by the thick fog and willingly sink into it, a golden light suddenly shone down from the sky, abruptly breaking through the layers of fog and shining on her.
Warm and gentle, like the most devout care at birth.
Jiang Liqian stared blankly at the golden light, tears falling to the ground.
She murmured in a daze, "Mother..."
It's Mother; she's come to see her.
