I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

hum-

On the stone wall, light flowed, and an ancient array pattern emerged. Then, the stone wall rippled like water, revealing a deep passage.

"Let's go, this is the true gate of Mount Shu."

Stepping into the passageway felt like entering another world.

The desolation and deathly silence of the outside world were shut out, and a pure sword intent so rich it was almost overwhelming rushed towards him, invigorating Zhuge Yue.

Lao Hei and Long Bao'er also looked around curiously.

As for Chu Qingge, she seemed quite calm, after all, she had broken through her cultivation here.

This is the location of the Shushan Secret Realm.

Gu Santong led the group through many twists and turns, finally arriving at the heart of a mountain peak.

The mountainside was hollowed out, forming a huge cave.

In the center of the cave, there is a pool of water about ten feet square.

The pool water was crystal clear, without any heat, but instead exuded a slight chill. Starlight seemed to twinkle at the bottom of the pool, emanating a powerful life force and a sharp sword intent.

"Where is this?" Chu Qingge asked.

She had cultivated here before and had never seen this place before.

"Heavenly Pool." A rare solemnity appeared on Gu Santong's face. "It is a place where the sword intent and life essence of my ancestors from all generations of Shu Mountain gathered after they passed away."

"Put that kid in there." He pointed to the Heavenly Pool. "This water can reshape his meridians and physical body, and cleanse the impure energies within him. However..."

He then changed the subject, saying, "This process will be extremely painful, a hundred times more painful than being cut into a thousand pieces. Whether he can endure it depends on his own fate."

Chu Qingge and Zhuge Yue exchanged a glance, and without the slightest hesitation, they carefully placed the unconscious Chu Feng into the Heavenly Pool.

laugh--

As soon as Chu Feng's body touched the pool water, a plume of white smoke suddenly rose up.

His skin, which had already begun to crack, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye the moment it came into contact with the pool water.

However, the next second.

A sudden change has occurred!

The dark abyss source within Chu Feng's body seemed to be stimulated and suddenly erupted!

boom!

The once crystal-clear Heavenly Lake was instantly stained as black as ink, and a terrifying aura of destruction and annihilation rose into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the domineering golden bloodline power also showed no weakness, transforming into streaks of golden lightning that swam wildly in the dark pool, attempting to dispel the power of the abyss.

One gold and one black, two completely opposite forces, clashed fiercely within Chu Feng's body and in the Heavenly Pool.

The tranquil Heavenly Lake instantly boiled over!

The pool water sometimes transforms into a black whirlpool that devours everything, and sometimes into a domineering golden ocean.

Each collision of the two forces caused the entire mountainside to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

At the eye of the storm, Chu Feng's body was like a rag doll, being torn apart by two forces. His skin, which had just healed, cracked open again, and golden holy blood and dark demonic energy intertwined, creating a horrifying scene.

"not good!"

For the first time, Gu Santong's face, which always seemed somewhat drunk, showed a look of horror.

"These two forces are far too powerful! The energy of Tianchi Lake not only failed to harmonize them, but instead became their battleground!"

"If this continues, forget about healing, this kid will be bursting at the seams! He'll destroy the last bit of wealth my Shu Mountain has left!"

"Oh no!" Gu Santong was so anxious that he scratched his head and paced around in circles.

He never expected that Chu Feng possessed two such terrifying powers within him.

Chu Qingge felt an overwhelming pang of heartache as she watched her younger brother writhing in agony in the pool, his body constantly breaking apart and reforming.

She gripped the Heaven-Slaying Sword tightly, and a chilling sword intent emanated from her uncontrollably, as if she wanted to rush in and use her power to help her younger brother.

"Don't move!" Gu Santong immediately sensed her intention and shouted sharply to stop her. "With your cultivation level and your innate sword body, going in is a death sentence! Not only will you not be able to help him, but you'll also be torn to shreds by those two forces in an instant!"

Chu Qingge stood frozen in place, watching her younger brother's pained expression. Her face drained of color, and her eyes were filled with helplessness and self-blame.

Just then, Zhuge Yue, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

"Senior, perhaps... I can give it a try."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear.

Gu Santong was taken aback, turned to look at her, his brows furrowed: "Little girl, don't go along with this nonsense! Although your seven-aperture exquisite mind is extraordinary, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhuge Yue's next action.

Zhuge Yue didn't explain further. She just took a deep look at Chu Feng, who was struggling in the pool, and a resolute look flashed in her seven-colored eyes.

She raised her hand, her slender fingers tracing a line in front of her, and a barrier formed by seven-colored rays of light instantly enveloped the entire Heavenly Lake, blocking outsiders from prying into her life.

"This girl..." Gu Santong looked at the restriction, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This seemingly weak restriction actually contained a profound law that even he couldn't fathom, which perfectly isolated the violent energy fluctuations within the Heavenly Pool.

After doing all this, Zhuge Yue turned around, bowed deeply to Chu Qingge, and gave her a respectful greeting.

"Sister, please believe me."

Having said that, she no longer hesitated.

Under the astonished gazes of Chu Qingge and Gu Santong, she slowly walked towards the Heavenly Pool, her pale yellow dress silently slipping off as she stepped onto the edge of the pool.

She walked into the energy storm that was powerful enough to tear apart a saint, and stood before the man who had lost consciousness and was now struggling only with instinct.

She stretched out her arms and gently, yet with unwavering determination, embraced his constantly breaking and healing body, then lowered her head and kissed him.

boom!

The moment their lips touched, the seven-colored lotus mark between Zhuge Yue's brows suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

A warm and peaceful power, seemingly capable of encompassing all things in heaven and earth, surged from her body and instantly flowed into Chu Feng's limbs and bones.

If the golden divine power and the abyss origin within Chu Feng's body are two ferocious tigers locked in a fierce battle, then Zhuge Yue's Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart Power is like a gentle ocean.

It did not forcefully suppress either side, but rather gently enveloped, soothed, and harmonized the two violent forces in a subtle and pervasive way.

The violent energy storm within Tianchi Lake gradually subsided.
