Capítulo 1073: Chapter 850: New Leverage

Ye Jiuyou angrily cast a Great Purification Technique, trying to return the pool water to its original state.

After all, Zhao Changhe will never understand why these practitioners, who are capable of purifying even the earth and the seas with magic, still use water to bathe.

The spell was cast, and the slugs did disappear, but the pool water felt like it contained something more, no longer as still and silent as before.

Ye Jiuyou paused, carefully reflecting, and frowned.

The pool water indeed had something more… Previously, it would not be an exaggeration to call it dead water; it would definitely kill any ordinary life thrown into it, but now it had started possessing Life Force. Given eons of evolution, it might eventually give birth to primordial beings on its own.

“Is this their deliberate attempt to hinder me?” Ye Jiuyou muttered to herself. Strangely, she didn’t feel hindered but rather found this pool unexpectedly more comfortable than before.

It had a bit of warmth and was no longer purely frigid.

If anything was a hindrance, it was that earlier slug, such a filthy thing!

Ye Jiuyou absentmindedly stroked the water surface with her slender hand, watching the ripples, unsure what she was thinking about for a long time.

On her hand was a Jade Bracelet, reflecting against her white, crystal-clear wrist, looking so unfamiliar.

Rubbing her neck, she touched the necklace.

It felt very unfamiliar, like it had added many things that didn’t belong to her… Yet, there was no discomfort as imagined; instead, it felt… less dull.

“When you look in the mirror, it’s no longer just dark silence.”

Zhao Changhe’s words flashed in her mind, and Ye Jiuyou suddenly felt a surge of irritation. She slapped the water surface viciously, causing a splash of water.

Immediately, she was slightly chilled inside; such irritation shouldn’t occur in someone who had been cultivating in solitude for eons.

Ye Jiuyou took a deep breath and suddenly rose from the pool, her original Dark Robe naturally appearing on her body.

Standing in front of the Soul Capturing Mirror, Ye Jiuyou frowned, feeling something was off everywhere. She thought for a moment, then removed the robe and changed into that purple long dress.

The person in the mirror looked mysterious and enchanting, indeed more beautiful than before.

It wasn’t just human aesthetics… The key was whether it mattered and if it had meaning.

Ye Jiuyou frowned in thought for a long time, then suddenly removed everything, the bracelet and necklace vanished, her clothes returning to darkness, and she sighed; this was more pleasing to her eyes.

She had gained a lot of insights from him today: darkness, life and death, and that grand chaos and annihilation. When one’s perspective expands to such an extent, some things she did indeed lost their significance.

This was the gap with Ye Wuming… and actually, with Zhao Changhe as well. Even if her cultivation surpassed his, in many aspects, Zhao Changhe was ahead of the world, which is why he is the executioner beyond the bounds of the Heavenly Dao. Those entities deemed immortal in this world were slain by him with ease.

She had once been among those he prepared to slay gods. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

As she pondered, ripples formed in the mirror, and the image changed from her own appearance to walking side by side with Zhao Changhe in a bustling market. He was buying cotton candy, smiling warmly.

Then he turned his head, eyes bright: “You are my most important matter.”

“Bang!” Ye Jiuyou struck the Soul Capturing Mirror with her palm, shattering its surface into pieces.

“A mere fragment of a broken mirror dares to try to capture the soul of this seat!”

Ye Jiuyou kicked the broken mirror far away in annoyance, incredibly vexed that she had no mirror to look at now.

Wait a second, I have an entire mountain.

Ye Jiuyou “thunked” out the mountain, adjusted it to the size of a full-length mirror, and nodded in satisfaction.

Her pleased expression quickly froze… It used to be just a fragment; no matter what it showed, it couldn’t harm her. Now it’s an entire mountain; if it shows something weird again, could it lead to a Heart Demon, or genuinely capture and steal her soul?

Damn it all!

Ye Jiuyou clutched her head with a headache, finally flicking her fingers. An Ice Mirror replaced the Soul Capturing Mirror, standing in front of her.

This feels right; she could clearly make her own mirror… But this insight of Four Symbols from him belonged to Xuanwu, thus no matter how she looked at it, it was unsightly.

The Xuanwu of this generation seems like some large-breasted, big-bottomed lazy woman.

What’s the point of being so big, does it have any meaning? So, tonight, he’s returning to the Heavenly River, is he doing those unspeakable things with these women while I’m just here alone looking in the mirror?

Ye Jiuyou took several deep breaths angrily, left the headquarters in annoyance, and saw a group of dumbly standing corpse puppets guarding nearby, angrily kicking them far away: “So lifeless, not a bit of human taste!”

Corpse Puppet: “?”

Ye Jiuyou returned to the top of the Snow Mountain, sitting cross-legged under the moonlight, closing her eyes to start cultivating. It seemed she could be clearer and calmer in the snow.

Actually, the Abyss was far colder… perhaps it lacked something, no snow, no moon, too dull, no meaning at all.

The sky suddenly flashed with golden light; the long-awaited Chaotic World List finally updated.

“In June, Zhao Changhe, accompanied by Piaomiao, ventured into the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, captured the Bodhisattva alive, roasted it for several days at the Buddha Tower, then released it. The Bodhisattva, weakened, was pierced by the Snow Eagle, and fell, with the intent of the Heavenly Demon acquired by the Snow Eagle.”

“The sixth Bodhisattva on the Demon God List has been removed.”

“The White Tiger appears, Ye Jiuyou, Sword Emperor, Snow Eagle, and Zhao Changhe each scheme, Han Wubing merges with the White Tiger.”

“Han Wubing is removed from the Human List, leaving the Demon God List White Tiger Han Wubing.”

“In the midst of the chaos, Han Wubing fled with a severed arm, the Snow Eagle was killed by the Sword Emperor. Its body combining Destruction and the True Spirit of Bodhisattva was destroyed by Piaomiao, its form and spirit dispersed.”
