Chapter 143 The Awakening of the Great Qin Qi Refiners

"presumptuous!"

Lian shouted angrily, then condensed her true energy in her palm, looked at the plum blossoms that were about to disappear into the forest, and threw them with a wave of her hand.

But as soon as the ball of true energy left his palm, it was pierced by a golden light and then dissipated into the air.

"How could I possibly let you have your way?"

"We all came from the Qin Dynasty together, how can you be so indifferent to our old friendship?"

Taiyi stood in front of Ren and said in a playful tone.

Lian frowned, but did not respond to his words. Instead, she looked past Taiyi and took a deep look at Mei's back.

Mei, what exactly are you trying to do...?

Since the other party didn't make a move, Taiyi didn't attack either. He turned his head and watched as Yu Guangzhong's plum blossoms disappeared. In his heart, he could only wish the other party good luck.

In the original novel of Hell Music, Mei is probably the most tragic character.

While other characters also have their own loves and hates, at least their relationships are confined to the realm of human interaction.

Mei's experience, however, broke through this point.

Lian was Xu Fu's wife, while Mei's status was uncertain; she could have been a concubine or a slave.

Although the Qin Dynasty is defined as the first feudal state in the history of China, it still had a slave system.

Judging from Lian's attitude towards Mei in the original work, you can tell that she didn't treat her as a human being at all.

Both Lian and Mei were transformed into celestial beings, but Mei's strength was far inferior to Lian's, and she dared not disobey Lian's decision.

This concept of hierarchy was etched in Mei's heart, which led her to never blame Xu Fu and Lian even after suffering all kinds of inhumane treatment. Until her death, she only wanted to ask why.

In the original story, Mei objected to Lian's disregard for life and cruel treatment of humans, resulting in Lian destroying her embryonic pearl and disrupting her internal circulation.

Then, in order to make the best use of the plum blossoms, he directly bestowed them upon the "Taoist priest".

The Taoist priests on Paradise Island are monsters created by Lian and her companions by stitching together animals and humans, using the essence of flowers as a foundation.

These monsters, due to their physical structure, were also unable to complete the circulatory cycle, but Mei's appearance solved their problem.

As long as Mei practices dual cultivation with them, the Taoists can construct a complete cycle of Qi, thus smoothly drawing true Qi into their bodies.

In other words, before Mei escaped from Penglai Palace, she practiced dual cultivation with hundreds of Taoist priests on Paradise Island every day...

A true RBQ (a derogatory term for someone who is sexually exploited and sexually harassed).

Even after enduring such inhuman suffering, she ultimately chose to sacrifice herself to send Huameiwan and the others to sea, demonstrating the kindness deeply ingrained in her being.

"But it's also possible that she never saw herself as a human being, but as a slave, a tool."

"While I don't consider myself special, I still have a personality. Whether it's a tendency to avoid harm or a lack of sensitivity, this is all I can do to help you."

boom!

Hahahaha!

Just as Taiyi and Lian were facing off, a deafening roar suddenly came from their left, followed by a wild laugh from afar.

Both sensed this aura. Taiyi remained calm, while Lian's lips curled into a smile.

"Aren't you going to go and see? Your subordinate is about to be killed by Lan."

Lian said with a smile.

"They've already reached the state of Demon Corpse Release. Even if they're celestial beings, they've reached the final stage."

"If victory cannot be achieved in the short term under these circumstances, then the side that is about to perish..."

"They seem to be one of yours!"

sulfuric acid......

The sword hummed softly, and Taiyi raised his hand, pointing at the lotus, tilting his head and smiling as he spoke.

Ok?

Lian's brows furrowed. This feeling of having her secrets known again was extremely unpleasant!

But this state only lasted for a second before she regained her calm and composed expression.

"Indeed, as you said, in the state of Ghost Corpse Dissolution, if a Celestial Immortal cannot end the battle quickly, he will become exhausted and lose his fighting ability."

"but......"

"They're quite different now than they used to be!"

Lian's lips curled up, the wind blowing her hair across her forehead, revealing her ruthless and cold eyes.

Ha ha.

Lowering his head, Taiyi shook his head with a wry smile. Then, raising his head, his eyelids drooping, he said expressionlessly:

"Coincidentally, I am different from before."

"Also, do you believe in fate?"

"In this world, it seems that no matter what changes you make, the ending is destined to be failure. It's fate, you..."

Do you believe it?

The moment Taiyi finished speaking, Lian's pupils constricted sharply, and a strange unease rose within her.

fate?

Her mind began to replay all the events of the past, from her childhood babbling to joining the immortal sect as an adult, and then to her love and dependence on Xu Fu.

From their homeland of Daqin, they crossed thousands of miles of ocean and finally arrived at Paradise Island.

In those short ten seconds, she experienced all the hardships, love, hate, and separations once again.

In the very center of Paradise Island, in a bedroom of the Alchemy Palace, Lian, whose entire body had turned into a tree, slowly raised her hand and stroked the heart in her chest that had not beaten for a hundred years.

Then she turned her head and looked at Xu Fu, who was wrapped in gold foil. Her cloudy eyes gradually became clear, and the words that should have been murmured began to be firm and powerful.

"Fate...?"

"If this is fate, if it's predetermined by heaven..."

"Hehe, haha, hahahaha!"

"Although I am a woman, I am also a cultivator of Qi."

"As the saying goes, going with the flow makes you human, going against the flow makes you an immortal."

"How could fate bind or limit me!"

Heaven and earth are turned upside down, and the world is in chaos; the sun and moon are dark, and the night is long.

Raise your hand and point to the layered clouds, refining your Qi, refining yourself, and refining the heavens!

I've been studying this alone for a thousand years, persevering until now, and you're telling me it's all preordained?

The lotus, whose true form had already transformed into a tree, suddenly lowered its head and said softly:

Raising his hand, he pointed to the layered clouds, refining qi, refining people, and refining the heavens.

"Taiyi, now I'll let you experience firsthand what the enlightenment of a Qi cultivator in the Great Qin Dynasty truly is!"

Call ~

A brown, humanoid phantom leaped from Lian's body in an instant, then disappeared into the air.

Taiyi was on guard with his sword, but the next second, when he saw a phantom enter the lotus puppet in front of him, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

What's going on? How come my primordial spirit power has increased again?

Feeling the fluctuations emanating from the other's body, and seeing the air trembling and the space gradually becoming gelatinous due to the influence of the other's divine soul power, Taiyi regained his composure after a slight moment of surprise.

"Haha, that's more like it."

"If you stay in the back and only use a fraction of your strength, even if I destroy this clone of yours and injure the primordial spirit inside, it won't do you any harm."

"But now..."

"Let's have a final, life-or-death battle, Ren!"

sulfuric acid!

The endless golden light shone again, and the brown true energy surged forth. The two forces each occupied half of the sky and earth, and then collided fiercely.
