Chapter 242 You Guessed It All
Cheng Feng's pupils trembled.
"You, you actually guessed it..."
Jiang Liqian clenched the talisman tightly, her eyelashes drooping slightly.
It’s hard not to guess, right?
Especially when seeing the soul-seeking formation covering the entire room.
After entering the Hundred Butterflies Valley, she was already puzzled because she couldn't see a single spirit butterfly, and then she encountered a red-tailed five-ring snake that was close to the Spirit Transformation Stage. Thinking about the information revealed to her by that "kind-hearted person", even though she didn't know the whole story, she could still figure out about 70% of the matter.
First, the daughter of the master of Chengfeng Valley suddenly fell into a deep sleep for unknown reasons a hundred years ago. Then, in order to wake up his daughter, the master of Chengfeng Valley tried various methods. Later, he found her master and set up a huge and powerful defense formation in Baidie Valley. He also set up a soul-seeking formation in Miss Aqiong's boudoir. For some unknown reason, the master agreed.
The Soul-Locking Formation is divided into two yin and yang formations. One is yang, which is where life is, and the other is yin, which is where death resides. Yin is the target of yang, and yang gives life to yin.
Yin and Yang rotate and are inseparable.
To put it simply, the soul-seeking formation belonging to the yang end will continuously absorb the power of the living creatures in the soul-locking formation belonging to the yin end to nourish the souls of the people on the yang end. If there is a yang formation, there must be a yin formation, and if there is a yin formation, there must be a yang formation.
After comparing the disassembly and analysis with the "Compendium", she found that the Yang Formation was here with Miss Aqiong, while the Yin Formation was very huge and was located deep in the Hundred Butterfly Valley.
That place is full of big monsters.
There are no such big monsters in Zhongzhou, so the most likely scenario is that the master of Chengfeng Valley took the initiative to capture those big monsters, trapped them in the depths of Baidie Valley, and raised them with the spiritual butterflies in Baidie Valley that are full of spiritual power.
Their magical powers became the nourishment for Miss Aqiong's soul, which would leave her body from time to time.
At the end of the story, the spirit butterflies are exhausted and the monsters are stronger. The small Hundred Butterfly Valley cannot trap those big monsters for long. Once those big monsters escape from here, they will surely cause a bloody storm in Zhongzhou. It is unknown how many people will lose their families.
For the sake of Miss Aqiong, the Lord of Chengfeng Valley will have only two choices in the end: either let people in to feed the big monster, or catch new monsters and continue to raise them like a Gu.
But no matter which one it is, loss of control is inevitable.
Disasters will only grow bigger and bigger like a snowball, becoming a vicious cycle.
The alchemist who used to cure diseases and save lives and had an immortal demeanor, now has to endanger the lives of others with his own hands, otherwise he can only watch his daughter die because of the damage to her soul - I have to say, it's really cruel.
If all this was premeditated, then how cruel and ruthless was the person who made Miss Arjun fall into a deep sleep for no reason?
If all this is just fate, then this fate is too cruel.
But Jiang Liqian had no way to break this deadlock. She could only try her best, but the prerequisite was that the big monsters in the valley must be sent away before they became powerful, and the soul-locking formation must be destroyed.
"Make your choice, senior." Her voice was cold and clear, with an unmoved determination.
Cheng Feng looked at her, his eyes filled with emotions.
Eventually, it calmed down.
"I promise you, I will send those big monsters away."
Jiang Liqian got the answer she wanted and finally couldn't hold on any longer. She held onto the door frame, vomited blood, and trembled with a pale face.
Cheng Feng turned around with a complicated expression.
Without further ado, he immediately set out to capture those big monsters.
But before leaving, he couldn't help but say to Jiang Liqian: "Is it worth it for you to do this?"
No one would know that for them, she used her foundation-building cultivation to withstand the pressure of the Divine Transformation, and was willing to die together with them.
Jiang Liqian smiled softly: "This is also your daughter's wish, Senior, isn't it worth it?"
As an alchemist, he knows best that human life is precious, doesn't he?
-
Although Cheng Feng is a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, it still takes time to deal with so many powerful monsters at once.
During this period, Jiang Liqian was not idle. She first destroyed the soul-locking formation according to the "Compendium", and then transferred her spiritual power to Miss Aqiong every day to nourish her soul.
But it takes several great demons to support a living soul, so it is very difficult for her to do it alone. Every time she came out of Miss Aqiong's house, she was almost exhausted.
If she could not rely on the Qiankun Heart Method to quickly absorb external spiritual power, she probably could not afford to consume so much spiritual power.
But there are also benefits to consuming spiritual power in this way. Not only are her meridians more resilient and powerful, but the speed at which she absorbs spiritual power is also much faster, and she can absorb more spiritual power at one time.
It was already a month later when the Master of Chengfeng Valley came back.
During this period, Jiang Liqian also encountered the soul of Miss Aqiong once.
Her soul had faded a lot, and even though it was a soul, it looked very weak and powerless, but when she looked into her eyes, she still smiled brightly and beautifully.
She said she was happy that she was able to prevent her father from making an irreparable mistake.
She also told her one thing.
"curse?"
As Jiang Liqian savored these two words, she felt as if they were familiar.
Although there was sadness on Miss Arjun's face, she was strong in a way that was different from others, which made her look peaceful and bright.
It doesn't look like the curse she said she was carrying.
"I only found out the last time my soul left my body. It turns out my sudden slumber was due to a curse. As long as I turn thirteen, I will fall into a coma and never wake up again."
After listening to her explanation, Jiang Liqian became suspicious.
"How did you know you were cursed?"
Miss Arqiong pursed her lips and spoke hesitantly, "I... I saw a stone carving with words engraved on it. It says that anyone cursed will inevitably bear the extraordinary power of heavenly punishment. My mother died young, and my father and I have lived in the valley all year round. We have never refused anyone who came to the valley for medical treatment, so it is impossible for us to have any enemies. I don't know why someone would cast such a vicious curse on us..."
"But how can you be sure that you have the power of heaven's punishment?" Jiang Liqian asked.
Miss Arjun approached her and stretched out her hand to lightly hold her fingertips.
"Sister Jiang has a mutated thunder spirit root, right?"
She nodded.
"My Thunder Spiritual Root has the same origin as Heavenly Thunder and is protected by the Heavenly Dao. It also contains the same power of rules as Heavenly Thunder. If you probe a trace of Thunder Spiritual Power into my body, you will be able to feel... the difference."
Jiang Liqian had heard a little of what she said. Although she was still skeptical, she still did as she said, sent out a trace of thunder spiritual power, and carefully entered her soul.
After a while, she looked up in surprise.
The souls of ordinary people should be like colorful glass, pure and flawless. Only the most treacherous and evil people will be stained with blood, but Miss Aqiong's is really different.
There was an inconspicuous black spot between her eyebrows.
