Chapter 67: The Valley of Demon Flowers?
Looking at the man's gentle smile in front of her, Gu Ling's heart skipped a beat.
She even ceased using the illusion-breaking technique.
"Wh... what?"
Gu Ling's lips trembled slightly, revealing a complex expression in her eyes.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Ling'er? You look like you've seen a ghost."
Xu Ze smiled and reached out his hand to touch Gu Ling's head.
"!"
Seeing his hand reaching toward her, Gu Ling instinctively stepped back.
A hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes. Her right hand transformed into a claw-like form, fiercely reaching toward Xu Ze.
Xu Ze frowned and firmly grasped Gu Ling's wrist.
"Ling'er? What are you doing!"
Looking at her wrist held by Xu Ze, Gu Ling was horrified to find that her cultivation seemed to have disappeared. Moreover, Ze's touch felt so real. It was as if the person in front of her...
Could it be that she wasn't in an illusion?
Impossible...
How could it be...
Gu Ling's mind was in chaos.
Boom...
Thunder roared, and wind and rain raged.
On a desolate mountain, Gu Ling and Xu Ze's bodies floated in the air. Their eyes were closed, enveloped by two grey flames.
On the other side, in a world shrouded in black mist, Xu Ze stood amidst the fog furrowing his eyebrows.
"Is this Ling'er's consciousness? How could it be like this..."
Xu Ze knew that if he compared his cultivation with Gu Ling's, his current abilities wouldn't match her.
Fortunately, having experienced nine lifetimes, Xu Ze possessed skills beyond ordinary imagination.
During his previous nine lifetimes, Xu Ze secretly searched for and studied all kinds of secret arts, mystical techniques, and ancient forbidden methods in the world.
This ancient mystical technique that could enter someone else's consciousness was what Xu Ze found during his sixth lifetime in an ancient secret realm.
Although the method was extremely difficult and required a large amount of spiritual Qi to be channelled into the other person's body in advance, once successfully executed, even the top immortals could be trapped in their consciousness.
From the beginning, Xu Ze planned to subdue Gu Ling in this way. Although Gu Ling's level of blackened had reached 99%, he was confident he could succeed with the remaining bit.
Fortunately, Xu Ze had guessed correctly.
Xu Ze sighed. He knew this method was equivalent to cheating in a game by directly invoking the console and entering cheat codes. It was going against the Dao.
But now, he didn't care about that anymore. Compared to defying the Dao, he wanted more to pull Gu Ling out of this darkness.
"What's with this black mist?"
Walking in the dense fog, wherever Xu Ze went, his pure Qi emanating from his body was dispersing the black mist. However, after he passed through, the black mist returned, shrouding everything around him tightly.
"Demonic Qi?"
Xu Ze suddenly thought of something.
"Seems like Ling'er also practiced the Evil God's forbidden scripture."
The Evil God's forbidden scripture was an ancient divine treasure not to be passed on lightly in the Abyss of Devils. It was said that this technique was created by an ancient demon god. It would enhance one's strength at the cost of amplifying the darkness in their hearts.
One could even control the heavens and the earth at the highest level of cultivation and break free from the shackles of rules.
Of course, Xu Ze only said this half-jokingly.
After experiencing nine lifetimes, although practicing the Evil God's forbidden scripture to the highest level did indeed have the power to destroy heaven and earth, saying it could break the rules and control the heavens and earth was a bit exaggerated.
No matter how powerful a cultivator was, as long as they were still alive and had human consciousness, they could never transcend the control of heaven and earth.
However, Xu Ze deeply understood the essence of the Evil God's forbidden scripture that caused darkness in one's heart.
In his first life, Xu Ze had almost gone astray while practicing the Evil God's forbidden scripture, losing his sanity. Fortunately, Xu Ze improved the Evil God's forbidden scripture in the following lifetimes and eliminated all its negative effects.
And now, Gu Ling was practicing the original, unimproved version of the Evil God's forbidden scripture. Coupled with the pain and hatred in her heart, it caused her degree of corruption to be far higher than other female leads...
"Hmm? What's this..."
As Xu Ze walked, he suddenly saw a flicker of white light in the black mist.
Xu Ze walked over and saw that amidst that black mist, a pure white four-leaf flower floating in the air.
It seemed this beautiful four-leaf flower was preventing darkness from completely swallowing Gu Ling's heart.
However, the surrounding darkness was already stirring restlessly. Like crawling mud, it was gradually creeping toward this flawless white flower and spreading.
The pure white four-leaf flower was gradually being covered by the surrounding darkness and looked like it could disappear into the darkness at any moment.
"What's this..." Xu Ze felt a familiar feeling rising in his heart.
He seemed to have seen this flower somewhere before.
No, it wasn't just seeing it.
Xu Ze reached out his finger and lightly touched the flower swaying in the demonic Qi.
Bang!
The flower in front of him suddenly exploded.
The petals scattered instantly, emitting a dazzling white light.
Suddenly, Xu Ze's surroundings became as bright as daylight, pure white.
When everything became clear again, Xu Ze found himself standing on a plain with blooming flowers.
Around him, the sun was shining brightly, incredibly fresh.
And in his hand, he was holding Gu Ling's fair wrist tightly.
At this moment, Gu Ling also stood in front of him, her eyes filled with fright.
"Hmm? Where is this..."
Xu Ze was surprised.
The Valley of Demon Flowers?
How did Gu Ling's consciousness lead him here?
Wait a minute. Could it be that this was Gu Ling's deepest part? The time when he completely conquered Gu Ling in the previous nine lifetimes?
Xu Ze suddenly understood.
"If I succeed, things will get back to normal, and I still have the opportunity with her."
"If I fail, the last pure place in Gu Ling's heart will be shattered, and her corruption level will reach its maximum."
"It seems that Heaven wants me to conquer Ling'er again..."
Looking at the seemingly still confused girl in front of him, Xu Ze knew his battle with Gu Ling had just begun.
