Chapter 207: World Realization (1)

It is dusk when Lan Xiaohui opens her eyes and groggily blinks away the confusion and the pseudo-dreams induced by merging her consciousness with mine before passing out though I am not certain what kind of effect this had on her, if any.

Between the performance profile of the gold core I gave her, and her ability to absorb the vitality of nature through her high degree of comprehension of [Empty Moon Prana], Lan Xiaohuis recovery abilities are unprecedented.

By my estimation, even if she lost vital organs, she could survive long enough to potentially recover from such damage if she were given the opportunity to utilize the benefits of her cultivation method.

Of course, this is still conjecture, and I am not eager to find out if I am right or wrong. However, it is well known that cultivators who manage to cross the Great Boundary cannot be easily killed by the destruction of their physical bodies. The method they use to survive such damage shifting their physical vessel to a more spiritual property is completely different from Lan Xiaohuis method.

Lan Xiaohui is simply difficult to kill because the same kind of energy that drives the vital processes of her body are also the ones she can absorb from nature itself now. Other than destroying her physical vessel thoroughly and completely killing her is likely not as simple as destroying vital organs.

In other words, her recovery from the damage she recently received in two separate battles is alarmingly swift.

She sits up slowly, her hands grasping at her torn dress where Qianyan Kongju tore it open and broke her ribs as if still feeling some form of phantom pain, even though there are no more injuries there.

She surveys the area, noting the various craters and destroyed features, lingering briefly on the rather large hole in the center of her surveying zone where my excavation formation used to be.

Qianyan Kongju? she asks, eyes still searching for the familiar opponent.

It escaped a few days ago, I tell her.

Lan Xiaohuis lips part, and her eyebrows twitch slightly. A few days? How long have I been?

Six days.

Calmly, she nods, understanding the situation now.

Why did you not kill it with your sword technique? I ask her after she remains silent for a few seconds.

Lan Xiaohui smiles guiltily. You could tell I missed intentionally?

I see everything about you, even those things you hide deep in your heart.

Lan Xiaohuis reaction to my declaration is strange. Rather than being alarmed, her heart opens up more, as if wanting to show me its contents. And while her cheeks become slightly redder, her heart glimmers with fragments I see clearly, but do not understand. I can indeed see everything, but understanding them is another matter.New novel chapters are published on

Yaoyue, she hums my name with a bright smile, as her fingers grasp at my blade and slowly pull my vessel into her lap. If you could see that much, then you would know why I let it go.

Her mocking and teasing tone suggests I should downgrade her Obedience Index by a rank or two, but it does not seem that she plans on rebelling.

Do you want to know why? she asks, tone far more mellow, as her fingers stroke along the fuller of my vessel.

Yes, I concede. I cannot defeat her logic, anyway.

I dont know! she proudly announces.

This is she whispers.

It is a large vein of Supreme grade ore, trapped inside a Heaven grade spirit crystal, I inform my owner.

Lan Xiaohui falls to her knees, eyes widening even more. This this it is too much

Too much? It is barely enough to repair the functions of the Martial Hall, let alone the rest of my Inner World.

It must be worth a million spirit stones, Lan Xiaohui says.

I estimate around fourteen million spirit stones, according to the last known exchange rates, I correct her.

At this point, Lan Xiaohui is simply too dumbstruck by the number to even reply.

Since the ranking tournament and the conference are approaching, I will focus on recovering the Martial Hall and training formations, I tell my owner. The other facilities will have to wait.

Lan Xiaohui blinks, horror dawning on her expression as she begins to realize just how expensive her practice session for fighting against the princess truly was.

Yaoyue I I did not know she whispers.

Disregard that, I interrupt her. We need to discuss your fighting style and further development.

Lan Xiaohui blinks again, still mesmerized by the blue glow of stone, and black patches of ore showing through the crystallized stone.

In terms of large-scale warfare, you dont have an equal. But in small-scale combat, you leave yourself too exposed, I continue. This is because you practice in the Killing Field, where you face multiple opponents at once. From now on, I want you to focus on individual comb

I trail off when I realize that my owner is not listening to me at all.

I I am sorry I did not know it was this much

Does she still not understand that these things are, by default, hers to do with as she pleases? That was our contract when I decided to become her weapon and tool.

I need you to stab me into the rock down there so that I can consume it, I tell her, changing the topic.

She nods, still shaken. Okay

Your ranked match against Xie Zhiqiang is in two days. This will take about that long, so as soon as I am done, we will head back to the sect.

Once more, she nods, still barely responsive.

I give up on attempting communication with my owner for now. After everything she has said, I did not think such a small amount of wealth, or expense would shake her heart.

Even though I see everything in her heart, it is as good as seeing nothing if I cannot comprehend it.
