You're Too Weak!
You're Too Weak!
In the dream, she was in a weird place, knew a bunch of strange people, and did many absurd things. The strangest thing was that she actually dreamed of herself trying to break through to the Apotheosis Realm.
Rumble!
A lightning bolt struck, and excruciating pain spread all over her entire body!
Chu Liuyue suddenly opened her eyes and was wide awake! She breathed heavily, and her heart beat rapidly as hot blood circulated all over her limbs and bones.
There seemed to be a few remnants of that painful feeling.
Chu Liuyue instinctively looked at her surroundings.
She was currently lying in bed and covered with a blanket; she was in good condition. However, the feeling of being overwhelmed by the Heavenly Tribulation in her dream seemed too real as if she had really experienced it before.
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and noticed a familiar, faint, and cold fragrance lingering in the air. That is Rong Xiu's scent. Oh right, I'm currently in Rong Xiu's bedroom in Jishen Palace. Last night, the two of us talked a lot about the portion of memory I lost and our past. We did know each other long ago, but not in Country Yao Chen or Tianling. It was in the God Residence Realm.
Rong Xiu stated that the first time we met and everything that happened later actually occurred within the God Residence Realm. He only knew later that I wasn't actually from the God Residence Realm but from the Tianling Dynasty outside the realm. Afterward, I got into trouble.
Later on, Rong Xiu noticed something amiss and tried his best to allow me to be reborn in Chu Liuyue's body as he specifically waited for me to wake up. But as I was too harsh and determined before I died and committed suicide by burning my Tianjing Yuan meridian, my soul dissipated after my death. Due to this, he only found a portion of it.
That was also the reason why my soul was incomplete and why I lost part of my memories. It has to be the memory between us.
…
Chu Liuyue rubbed her glabella.
After a whole night of resting, she finally felt energized.
She spent some time digesting everything that happened yesterday and seemed to be much clearer, yet she had many new doubts. This was because she didn't even know how she went to the God Residence Realm from Tianling.
Rong Xiu also didn't seem to be very clear about this portion. This was because she went back not long after he found out that she was from Tianling, so he didn't have the time to ask her.
Chu Liuyue walked to the table and poured herself a cup of tea.
The mist wrapped around it, and the hot air rose. It seemed like it was just brewed.
Chu Liuyue paused in her motions, and deep thoughts flashed across her eyes.
Actually, she had tried to ask Rong Xiu if he knew about that black pyramid the night before, but the latter seemed like he knew nothing about it.
Chu Liuyue always suspected that the man in black was Rong Xiu, but she was doubtful again now. On the one hand, that man in black sealed a portion of my soul. If Rong Xiu really is him, he should be trying his best to find all the parts and recover my memory. On the other hand, there are two very clear figures when I recall my fragmented memories. One is Rong Xiu, and the other is that man in black.
But in my knowledge, Rong Xiu and that man are indeed two different people. Rong Xiu also doesn't seem to know that person. Perhaps I will only know the truth after I recover her memory.
Thinking of this, Chu Liuyue held her breath and focused.
The black pyramid quietly floating in her dantian already had three cracks, and golden light faintly poured out of them.
My fragmented memories should have come out from here. If only I could open it… Chu Liuyue gathered her force and prepared to strike it!
Creek!
The door suddenly opened.
Chu Liuyue stopped in her actions and looked over.
Rong Xiu walked in. "You're awake? Why don't you want to sleep a while longer?"
Chu Liuyue nodded. "I'm done resting."
When Rong Xiu sensed the force circulating in her body, his brows moved slightly. "What were you thinking about just now?"
"I'm thinking of how to find my previous memories," said Chu Liuyue honestly.
For some reason, Rong Xiu felt a part of his body ache. He clenched his fists, brought it to his lips, and coughed. "You can't rush these things. Anyway, since you've already recalled some of it now, you'll naturally recall everything in the future."
Chu Liuyue nodded. This can only be the case.
"Right now, the most important thing is to elevate your cultivation level quickly." A cold and child-like voice suddenly came from the door.
Chu Liuyue looked over and saw a purple figure. "Hm? Big Baby, you're here too?"
Dugu Mobao's face instantly darkened!
Rong Xiu kindly reminded her, "Ahem, we came in together."
It was a pity that he was too small and was completely blocked by Rong Xiu's figure in front, so Chu Liuyue didn't see him at all.
Chu Liuyue was speechless.
Dugu Mobao said carefully, "From today onward, you'll play chess with me for four hours every day."
"I don't want to!" cried Chu Liuyue miserably as she held her head painfully.
Four hours didn't seem too long when playing chess. After all, there were times when a single game could drag on for even longer. But… this was playing with Dugu Mobao!
Chu Liuyue recalled the night when she was defeated by Dugu Mobao's terrifying chess skills.
Even to this day, she couldn't last for 15 minutes! Every time, she would play for a while and would be directly killed! The key was that it was a very miserable kind of death!
Four hours… She didn't even know what shape she would be tortured into!
"Other than this, you'll spend another four hours battling the puppet I've made for you." Dugu Mobao squinted his eyes.
His eyes that originally looked sinister were currently glowing with a harsh light. "Considering that you're still a beginner stage-seven warrior, we'll start from the basics—just a beginner stage-eight puppet!"
Chu Liuyue's eyes twitched as she struggled to say, "Big Baby, do you have any misunderstandings about beginner stage-seven warriors? I'm a beginner stage-seven warrior, yet you want me to fight a beginner stage-eight warrior. This jump is too—"
"Then, intermediate stage-eight—"
"We'll go according to what you say!" Chu Liuyue's strong survival instincts quickly made a decision. According to my understanding of Dugu Mobao, he will definitely do what he says! As long as I can have a breather, he won't let it go!
Dugu Mobao glanced at her. As if seeing through her intentions, he directly said, "I'll give you ten days. After ten days, we'll change to intermediate stage-eight."
Chu Liuyue: "…Big Baby, I was wrong. I—"
"This is the Sky-Cloud Empire. The Heaven and Earth Force is very dense here, and it's enough to increase your cultivation speed. Additionally, you've already recovered your Tianjing Yuan meridian, so this should be the case."
Dugu Mobao knitted his brows as he spoke, and his eyes were filled with contempt. "You've been stuck as a beginner stage-seven warrior for too long."
Chu Liuyue was confused.
