The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1292 Mo Zhizhong's Illusion

Under the soft moonlight, Yun Ran sighed softly, and finally took out the seal belonging to the young master of Qingfeng Temple.

Although her strength has greatly increased, no amount of protection and vigilance is too much when facing a heaven-defying artifact like the fragments of the Heavenly Book.

The palm-sized seal exudes an ancient and solemn aura; one look and you know it's definitely not an ordinary item.

Yun Ran cut her palm, and drops of blood fell onto the seal. The seal immediately emitted a bright light, which then quickly disappeared.

At this moment, the totems on the seal began to appear. To the naked eye, one could even feel that the totems on the seal seemed to come alive and were slowly flowing.

Correspondingly, the hidden restrictions on Yun Ran's body also lit up at the same time, echoing the totem on the seal of the young master of Qingfeng Temple.

Yun Ran did not stop, and continued to reach out and take out her natal magic weapon, the Heavenly Thunder Token.

The Heavenly Thunder Token was fully activated the moment it grew larger, with countless bolts of lightning as thick as a baby's arm swirling around it.

At this point, Yunran had completed the protective ceiling she had set for herself.

Having finished all that, Yunran turned her gaze back to the tattered scroll of the Heavenly Book.

The young master's seal and restrictions of Qingfeng Temple were activated simultaneously. Unless there was a power capable of destroying the entire Qingfeng Temple, no power could erode her soul from the outside.

The existence of the Heavenly Thunder Token serves to fiercely protect her from any inner demons that might arise. If any inner demon dares to appear, it will be struck down immediately.

Now, no matter what unexpected troubles occur, Yunran no longer needs to worry about falling victim to them.

After doing all this, Yunran tentatively released her power little by little onto the tattered scroll of the Heavenly Book.

At first, the fragment of the Heavenly Book did not react at all, until Yun Ran's power gradually increased, and the patterns on the fragment of the Heavenly Book suddenly came to life.

This situation was within Yunran's expectations, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

'Buzz! ! ! '

A sound like metal vibrating suddenly exploded in Yun Ran's mind.

Yunran didn't even have time to investigate the source of the sound, but her mind became exceptionally clear at that moment.

The memory of those patterns that seemed somewhat familiar to her surfaced so clearly.

Yunran: ...

This feeling, as if she had been reawakened, was very unfamiliar to Yunran, and even more unfamiliar memories began to flood into her mind.

If it weren't for the presence of the young master's seal and the restrictions of Qingfeng Temple, Yun Ran would have suspected that she had been possessed. Otherwise, how could she suddenly have so many memories out of thin air?

Countless chaotic thoughts, filled with an aura of killing and despair, all rushed into her mind.

"Uh……"

Yun Ran closed her eyes in pain, a trace of blood remaining at the corner of her mouth.

The patterns on the fragments of the Heavenly Book have now been activated to about 50%.

At the same moment, the animal hides that bore these patterns turned to dust.

Time passed second by second as Yunran tried her best to process the memories flooding into her mind.

In this empty cave, no one saw that as Yun Ran digested the murderous aura from those memories, countless wisps of black smoke occasionally rose from her body.

From a distance, it looked as if Yun Ran had become possessed. If any stubborn and inflexible defender of the Way were to appear now, Yun Ran would likely become his number one dangerous individual to eliminate.

As a trace of black blood spilled from the corner of Yun Ran's mouth, her face revealed a variety of expressions, both bright and dark.

At that moment, the Heavenly Thunder Token seemed to have triggered some special command, and a bolt of lightning the size of a bowl landed directly on Yun Ran's head.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Thunder Token was Yun Ran's natal magic weapon, and she herself mainly cultivated thunder-based magic; otherwise, Yun Ran would definitely be a piece of charred remains by now.

As the lightning struck, the faint darkness on Yun Ran's face was instantly dispelled.

The originally quiet and harmless moonlight seemed to have sensed something was wrong, and the special purifying power from before began to surround Yunran.

To be precise, it was the black aura surrounding Yun Ran.

It seemed as if there was a black hole around, invisible to the naked eye, that was constantly swallowing up the unpleasant aura emanating from Yun Ran.

On the other side, Mo Zhi squatted at the entrance of the cave, glancing into the depths of the cave from time to time, her face full of anxiety.

Some people used to say that time dragged on endlessly, but Mo Zhi thought they were exaggerating.

Now, she feels that not just days are dragging on, but seconds are dragging on endlessly.

She desperately wanted to go inside and see what was going on, but without the master's orders, she dared not do anything rash and could only stay here and guard.

"Ah, if Master Huaiyi were here, that would be great. With him here, the master would definitely be fine."

In Mo Zhi's heart, the only one who could truly protect Yun Ran was Master Huai Yi (Junior Uncle).

As the sky began to lighten, it proved that daylight was not far off.

As the sunlight gradually fell upon the entrance of the cave, even Mo Zhi, a ghost cultivator, dared not confront it head-on and could only move to another spot.

Fortunately, this place is far enough away from human habitation; otherwise, Mo Zhi would be genuinely worried that what happened here would soon be discovered by others.

At this moment, Mo Zhi could only worry while taking out the small grass that had been purified by the power of the moonlight.

'Slurp~'

The grass was no longer as fresh and vibrant as it once was, but its allure to Mo Zhi remained undiminished, still stirring up her cravings.

Mo Zhi looked around and confirmed once again that there was not a single living person within a radius of dozens of miles, although there were other living creatures.

But Mo Zhi was certain that the living creatures wouldn't come this way.

The wilted grass, completely devoid of its previous wildness, lay quietly in Mo Zhi's hand.

"It looks delicious. Should I take a small bite first?"

Just as Mo Zhi reached out to pluck a leaf from the wilted grass, a burning pain suddenly shot through her wrist.

Ouch!

The excruciating pain instantly brought Mo Zhi back to her senses, but the scene before her eyes shocked her.

Outside the cave, the night was still shrouded in the starry sky, and the spot where she stood was more than ten meters different from before.

It turns out that what she had "seen" earlier—that it was dawn and the sun was rising—was all an illusion. The purpose was to make her move to avoid the place where the sun was rising.
