She actually possesses the memories and existence of both?!

"Surprised?"

The little girl seemed to find Gu Sheng's shocked expression amusing, and giggled softly, her laughter echoing in the spiritual liquid.

"I was surprised too. When I woke up from the chaos, I had two completely different memories in my mind. One was the memory of a nascent soul, full of curiosity about the world."

The other... is a long and fragmented collection of memories belonging to that ancient being—Miao Muqing.

She floated closer to Gu Sheng, her clear eyes looking directly at him.

“What’s even stranger is that I also shared a fragment of your memories… from the soul of this ‘reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor’. Although it’s very blurry, that sense of vastness that overlooks all the heavens and rules over all worlds… is truly something to aspire to.”

Her tone carried longing, yet also a barely perceptible sense of awe.

Gu Sheng stared intently at the little girl in front of him who claimed to have merged the memories of the spirit fetus and Miao Muqing, his heart churning with turmoil!

The origin of the mysterious cauldron within him, the secret of his Immortal Emperor soul...

These top secrets, which he had never mentioned to anyone, were revealed by this little girl in one sentence! The sharing of this soul blood pact was so complete?!
“So,” the little girl said, spreading her hands with an unusual calm in her voice.

“I am neither a pure spiritual embryo nor the complete Miao Muqing. I am… a completely new being. You can call me… well, I don’t have a name yet.”

She blinked her big eyes and looked at Gu Sheng with anticipation.

"Can you help me choose a name? After all, in a sense, you created me."

Gu Sheng looked into her clear eyes, which held a hint of cunning and world-weariness, and remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Qin Ling'er. She takes my surname Qin and her given name is Ling'er."

"Qin Ling'er..."

The little girl read it aloud, her eyes shining, and then she laughed happily.

"Okay! From now on, my name will be Qin Ling'er! Thank you, Gu Sheng!"

She seemed quite pleased with the name, and lightly twirled in the spiritual liquid, her colorful gauze skirt fluttering like a water sprite.

"Alright, now that we've chosen a name, let's get down to business."

Qin Ling'er stopped spinning, her face becoming serious as she pointed to the jade platform and Situ Qingfeng.

"That stone platform and the chains that bound him were not ordinary restrictions. They were a 'soul-sealing restriction' constructed with 'unformed innate spiritual essence' as its core."

This material is extremely rare, and the restrictions it forms naturally possess the effects of concealment and soul sealing. Unless one is a being above the Venerable Realm or possesses a special talent for breaking restrictions, it is extremely difficult to detect, let alone break.

If you had touched it rashly just now, your soul would have been sealed and locked away immediately, just like Situ Qingfeng, trapped in this pool forever.

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng felt a wave of fear wash over him. If Qin Ling'er hadn't intervened in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"How can we save him?"

Gu Sheng asked in a deep voice.

Qin Ling'er extended two delicate white fingers.

"There are two options now."

“First,” she said, holding up the first finger.

"You protected me with your soul power and sent me into the core area of ​​that soul-sealing restriction. I inherited some of Miao Muqing's abilities and memories, and I have a special way to break this kind of restriction."

However, this method requires you to continuously output your soul power, which is quite risky and may alert the person who set up the restriction.

“Second,” she held up her second finger, her eyes sparkling as she looked around at the viscous, bluish-gold liquid.

"I directly absorb the energy of this Heavenly Essence Liquid! The energy contained in this liquid is extremely vast and pure, especially its core life essence. Although most of it has been lost, the remaining part is enough for me to recover a lot of strength."

"As long as I recover some of my strength, I can forcefully break this soul-sealing seal! Moreover, absorbing this energy will be of great benefit to me!"

She licked her lips, revealing a longing expression.

"So, which one do you choose?"

Gu Sheng did not hesitate at all.

"Second type!"

Sending Qin Ling'er into the core of the restriction is too risky, and it would require him to continuously output his soul power, which is by no means a wise move in this perilous environment.

In contrast, letting her absorb the Heavenly Essence Liquid would both break the restrictions and save people, and also enhance her strength—a win-win situation!
As for the absorption of the spiritual liquid... well, since most of its core essence has already been lost, it's better to make the most of the remaining energy rather than waste it!
"Hehe, I knew you would choose this!"

Qin Ling'er clapped her hands happily, then her face turned serious.

"Then step back a little, I'm about to start!"

Gu Sheng did as he was told and retreated several feet.

Qin Ling'er floated in the spiritual liquid and slowly closed her eyes.

The viscous spiritual liquid around her seemed to be summoned by some supreme power and began to surge violently!

The next moment, she suddenly opened her small mouth!
There was no earth-shattering noise, but an indescribable, terrifying suction force suddenly burst forth from her mouth!

A massive vortex instantly formed around Qin Ling'er!

The vortex spun wildly, like a bottomless black hole, greedily devouring the viscous, cyan-gold spiritual liquid around it!

The Heavenly Essence Liquid, containing boundless life essence and pure spiritual power, surged wildly towards Qin Ling'er's small body!

Her body seemed to have become a bottomless pit, and no matter how much spiritual liquid poured in, it was instantly swallowed and absorbed by her!
The seven-colored gauze dress covering her body emitted a hazy glow, as if it were helping her refine this massive amount of energy.

Gu Sheng stood at the edge of the vortex, watching this scene in shock!
He could clearly feel that the energy of the entire Immortal Pool was decreasing at a visible rate!

Qin Ling'er's speed of devouring was simply astonishing!
In just a few breaths, the Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid in the Immortal Pool, which was originally viscous like amber, became much thinner!

The water level dropped at a visible speed! The jade stones at the bottom of the pool, with their warm luster, were clearly visible!
"This……"

Gu Sheng's eyelids twitched, and he was secretly alarmed.

"What kind of monster is this girl?!"

He felt as if he had truly nurtured an... extraordinary being!
In just a few breaths, Qin Ling'er had already devoured more than half of the abundant Heavenly Essence Liquid in the Immortal Pool!

Her small body remained unchanged, as if the vast amount of energy was merely a tiny drop of water. Just when Gu Sheng thought she would continue to absorb it, Qin Ling'er suddenly stopped.

She let out a small, satisfied burp and opened her eyes.

Those clear eyes now appeared even deeper and brighter, as if they contained the stars and the sea.

"almost."

She patted her tummy, looked at Gu Sheng, and had a smug look on her face.

"Now, it's time to get to work!"

The cyan light barrier separated the inside from the outside, but it could not block Gu Sheng's powerful soul's perception.

He clearly "saw" the fierce battle unfolding outside the light screen.

Beyond the light barrier, the battle has reached its climax!

"Flame Dragon Burns the Sky!"

Xia Fuqu shouted, formed hand seals, and unleashed her true energy!
A colossal divine dragon formed from crimson-gold flames roared as it charged toward the half-demonized Xiao Beixuan with a terrifying power capable of burning the entire world!
At this moment, Xiao Beixuan was covered in dark red scales, his hands had turned into sharp claws, and a pair of curved demonic horns had grown on his head. His aura was extremely sinister and violent!
Facing the blazing dragon, he neither dodged nor avoided it, but instead let out a sinister laugh, and the dark red blood shield on his body shone brightly!
The fiery dragon slammed violently into the blood shield!
The raging fire energy raged wildly, scorching the surrounding ground black!
But that seemingly thin blood shield was exceptionally tough, trembling violently as it withstood the impact of the Fiery Dragon!

The light had dimmed a bit.

"Little tricks!"

Xiao Beixuan laughed wildly, his eyes flashing with bloodlust!
He suddenly extended his demonic claws, black energy swirling around his five fingers, accompanied by a shrill whistle that tore through space. Ignoring the remaining flames, he fiercely grabbed at Xia Fuqu!

Xia Fuqu's expression changed slightly, and she retreated quickly, while simultaneously gathering a true essence shield once more!
scoff!

The demonic claws slashed across, tearing apart the true energy shield! The sharp claw tips grazed Xia Fuqu's shoulder, leaving a trail of blood!
A chilling, malevolent aura instantly invaded the wound!
Xia Fuqu let out a muffled groan as the sharp pain in her shoulder and the corrosive evil energy made her momentarily freeze!
Xiao Beixuan pressed his advantage, his demonic claws reaching out again, aiming straight for her throat! The speed was so fast, there was no way to avoid it!
"Senior Sister Xia!"

Seeing this from a distance, Xiao Mengling turned deathly pale!
She suddenly threw the bamboo scroll she had unfolded into the air!

The bamboo slips shone brightly, and countless ancient and profound characters seemed to come alive, flying out from the bamboo slips and instantly condensing into a thick barrier of characters in front of Xia Fuqu, flowing with golden runes!
Xiao Beixuan's demonic claws gripped the barrier of words fiercely!

The barrier trembled violently, and a burst of golden light flashed! It barely managed to block this fatal blow!
But Xiao Mengling was struck as if by a heavy blow. Her delicate body trembled violently, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning as pale as paper in an instant!
Clearly, forcibly activating the bamboo slip to resist Xiao Beixuan's attack had taken a huge toll on her, and she had already suffered internal injuries!

"You pesky little brat!"

A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Beixuan's eyes, clearly enraged by Xiao Mengling's obstruction!
He abandoned Xia Fuqu, and with a flicker of his body, he transformed into a blood-red afterimage, rushing straight towards the weakened Xiao Mengling!

The demonic claws, filled with overwhelming killing intent, came crashing down on his head!

"Meng Ling!"

Xia Fuqu's eyes widened in horror as she tried to help, but she was slowed down by the injury on her shoulder and the invading evil energy.
It seems that Xiao Mengling is about to die!
At this critical moment——

"Ugh!"

A painful roar suddenly came from the side!
Bai Zhi, who had been lying unconscious and barely breathing, somehow managed to sit up!

Her face was ashen, and blood was flowing from all seven orifices, clearly indicating that she was forcibly activating some kind of secret technique!
She formed a strange hand seal with her hands, and a dazzling silver light, seemingly capable of piercing the soul, suddenly shone from between her brows!
"Spirit Emperor... God-Slaying Arrow!"

Bai Zhi's voice was hoarse and resolute, carrying a frenzied passion that burned with life!

call out!
That point of silver light instantly left the body, transforming into a silver arrow as thin as a hair yet as fast as lightning!
The light arrow ignored spatial distance and, just as Xiao Beixuan's demonic claws were about to touch Xiao Mengling, it pierced his brow with unparalleled precision!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only an extremely shrill soul scream that erupted from Xiao Beixuan's mouth!
"what--!"

Xiao Beixuan's body suddenly froze on the spot!

The bloodlust in his eyes dimmed instantly, replaced by extreme pain and chaos!
He clutched his head with both hands and roared!

The God-Slaying Arrow directly attacked his sea of ​​consciousness, plunging him into a brief period of disorientation and excruciating pain!
"good chance!"

Despite her pain, Xia Fuqu's eyes blazed with an astonishing light!

She moved like lightning, instantly rushing in front of Xiao Beixuan. She concentrated all her true energy into her right leg and unleashed a fierce whip kick, accompanied by a piercing sound of air being torn apart, which slammed into Xiao Beixuan's chest!

boom!
With a muffled thud! Xiao Beixuan, who was in a daze, had no time to defend himself and was kicked backward!

His body slammed heavily onto the ground dozens of feet away, carving a deep trench! Dust billowed up!
Xia Fuqu also aggravated her shoulder injury and the evil energy in her body by forcibly exerting force, and spat out another mouthful of blood. She staggered backward, her breath becoming even weaker.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated. At the end of the ravine, Xiao Beixuan's figure slowly stood up.

At this moment, he looked even more terrifying!
Its dark red scales became thicker and more ferocious, its demonic horns stretched and curved, its pupils turned completely crimson, its fangs protruded from its mouth, and the evil aura surrounding it was like tangible black flames!
An even more terrifying and violent aura than before suddenly erupted!

He has completely entered a demonized form!
"Ho...ho..."

A low, panting sound came from Xiao Beixuan's throat.

His crimson pupils were fixed on Bai Zhi, who was nearly exhausted and barely breathing in the distance after using her secret technique! His eyes were filled with a brutal killing intent!
"die!"

He let out a roar that was not human, and his figure transformed into a streak of blood-red lightning, carrying a terrifying aura that could tear everything apart, and rushed straight towards Bai Zhi!

The speed is several times faster than before!
"Zhi'er!"

Bai Yu, who had just struggled to get up from the ruins, saw this scene and let out a desperate roar!
He tried to pounce, but it was too late!
Xia Fuqu's expression changed drastically!
She was closer to Bai Zhi! Without the slightest hesitation, she mustered her last bit of true energy and rushed towards Bai Zhi, wanting to shield her from this fatal blow!
Just as Xia Fuqu was about to rush in front of Bai Zhi, preparing to withstand Xiao Beixuan's attack—

The demonized Xiao Beixuan, with his scarlet pupils, possessed an extremely human-like cunning and cruelty!

His figure lunged at Bai Zhi, then suddenly made a bizarre turn in mid-air!

The clenched claw, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that seemed to tear through space, was not aimed at Bai Zhi, but rather at Xia Fuqu, who was rushing to her aid at full speed, with even greater speed and a more cunning angle!

Make a sound in the east and attack in the west!

His target from the very beginning was Xia Fuqu!

"not good!"

A warning screamed in Xia Fuqu's heart!
But at this moment, her old strength was exhausted and her new strength had not yet been generated. She was charging forward with all her might and had no time to change direction or defend!
The demonic claws, covered in thick scales, struck Xia Fuqu's abdomen with the sharpest blades!
A terrifying force erupted instantly! Xia Fuqu's protective true essence shattered!
She felt an indescribable pain coming from her abdomen, as if her internal organs were being shattered!

He was sent flying backward, spitting out a torrent of blood! A trail of blood streaked through the air!
"Senior Sister Xia!"

Xiao Mengling let out a piercing scream!

Bai Yu's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets!

The demonized Xiao Beixuan let out a triumphant and cruel laugh! (End of Chapter)
