Chapter 51 A-Li Goes Blind
Ignoring Yu Yang's blushing daydreams, Ali, with a dark expression, took off her sleeve and saw that it was completely purplish-black, standing out starkly against her fair skin, resembling the color of a zombie.
!!!
What is this ghost?
She pressed it with her hand, but there was no reaction at all. She even pricked it with a needle, but there was still no pain.
Lost in thought, Yu Yang saw the purplish-black patch and knew what was going on. He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "What happened?"
Ali shook her head, then nodded: "Those must not be ordinary water droplets. They contain venom that can silently corrode the body. But why are you alright?"
Yu Yang scratched her head: "Ah, I don't know either. Maybe those venoms didn't intend to attack me." But in her heart, she wondered, were the venoms attacking her because she wasn't from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion?
Ah Li channeled her spiritual power, attempting to heal with the element of light, but found that this could only provide temporary relief.
"What kind of poison is this? Even the element of light can't save me." Although I already knew that the element of light wasn't omnipotent, this was still...
Looking towards that burning gaze, Ali saw Yu Yang staring intently at her. Only then did she belatedly realize that her behavior of undressing in front of a strange man was somewhat inappropriate.
At this moment, Yu Yang stared blankly at her bare arm. Suddenly, he stretched out his fingers, which he had licked, straight towards Ali…
Ali panicked a little: "Hey, hey, don't do anything reckless..."
But they discovered that Yu Yang had simply bitten his finger and smeared the blood on the poisoned area of Ali.
Strangely, as soon as the warm blood covered her wound, she immediately stopped feeling pain, and the wound began to heal.
How do you know that blood can cure this poison?
As Yu Yang wiped his fingers, he said, "This inspiration came from what you just said. The reason that the venom didn't attack me was probably because of a problem with my bloodline, so I tried it as a last resort, and I didn't expect to be right."
"What exactly is your identity?"
But there was no time to say the next words, because the entire ground suddenly emitted a blinding golden light.
It turned out that Yu Yang had wiped the blood clean and casually tossed the handkerchief aside. Unexpectedly, the moment the blood touched the floor, it seemed to activate some kind of mysterious magic circle.
As the golden light swept in, Ali instinctively raised her hand to block it. But when she lowered her arm again, she found herself no longer in the hall.
This must be another void, desolate and quiet, like a Silent Hill, with no crows among the withered vines and old trees, and thick white smoke rising from the ground.
Where is this place?
Suddenly, a cloud of white smoke rose from beneath my feet. "Cough... um?" It wasn't pungent, just a blur of vision.
(Ali: !!! I was about to cough and you're telling me this isn't pungent?!)
A chill ran down her arm, and Ali quickly put her clothes back on. Could it be that the blood on her arm had triggered the void?
After the white smoke dissipated, she tentatively walked forward, calling out as she went, "Hey—is anyone there? Is anyone there? Yu Yang?"
There was silence; no one answered. Only the echoes reminded me how empty the place was.
Perhaps the shouts were too loud, attracting a white, unidentified object in the distance to fly towards it.
Ali: "!!!" Holy crap, what is this thing?
She quickly prepared her defenses.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either!
Enemy...wait, why does this thing look so familiar?
As the white object drew closer, Ali realized that it was a group of butterflies that were entirely white with slightly transparent wings.
The butterflies carried her forward. Ali swayed left and right on the swarm of butterflies, and it took her a while to find her balance. But where were they taking her?
Looking down, Ali's vision went black, her body swayed, and she almost fell.
Holy crap, it looks like it's already dozens of meters off the ground. If it crashes from that height, it'll be a bloody mess! She's afraid of heights!
Is this butterfly stable?
Ali dared not move, fearing that she might accidentally anger the butterflies and be smashed to pieces.
Fortunately, the butterfly didn't play any tricks on her and smoothly led Ali to a protruding cliff.
Ali looked ahead and saw a purple whip inside a white energy shield in mid-air. The whip was crackling with electricity, and lightning flashed alongside the purple halo, creating an eerie harmony that was surprisingly beautiful. Wait, these segments of purple whip? Could this be the Purple Thunder God Whip?
She was now standing in front of the energy shield, already able to feel the terror of the thunder's power. Ignoring her wildly whipping black hair, Ali's eyes were fixed on the Purple Thunder God Whip, considering how she could obtain it.
As he pondered, some of the small butterflies flew over, lifted one of Ali's hands, and reached towards the Purple Thunder God Whip.
Hey, hey, hey, there's lightning everywhere! Are you just going to grab it like that? Won't I get roasted alive?
Seeing that she couldn't pull her hand back, she could only gather all the little spiritual power she had left in her body into her palm, determined to grip the whip tightly, and the power of lightning quickly swept through Ali's entire body. The burning pain made her unable to move, and her whole body felt as if it was being whipped hard with sticks and being burned by the high temperature of a furnace.
Heartbreaking!
Even though the pain was so intense it felt like her whole body was falling apart, Ali gritted her teeth and persevered.
She vowed that even if she was chopped to a crisp, she would never let go.
Isn't the process of a divine artifact recognizing its master simply a matter of the master's willpower?
She's not without Ali!
Sure enough, hard work pays off. Once all the lightning power within the energy shield surged into her body, the shield shattered instantly.
The pain completely disappeared.
Ali breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could even feel happy, everything went black before her eyes, though she remained perfectly conscious.
Holy crap?
Is the whip poisonous?
Am I blind?
Or is it a side effect of being struck by lightning?
When Ali's eyes regained their clarity, she was back in the temple. The only change was that on the altar directly in front of her, a...living person was squatting?
"Huh? This isn't the original temple." Ali looked at the old man in front of her and asked, "Uncle, where is this? Where are my companions?"
The old man smiled and opened his mouth, looking at Ali with the eyes of someone looking at a junior, clearly very satisfied with him: "It's actually a rare light element attribute, not bad, not bad. I see the lightning mark between your eyebrows, you should be the master of the Purple Extreme Thunder God Whip this time, right?"
Ali bowed respectfully, but didn't forget to ask, "It's my honor to be recognized as a master by the Purple Thunder God Whip. But where is this? Where are my companions?"
The old man still smiled, but answered irrelevantly: "This is where I passed away, the place where this secret realm is enshrined. Since you were able to come here and have the Purple Thunder God Whip recognize you as its master, it means we are destined to meet. I can answer three questions for you."
Hmm? A Taoist?
A-Li guessed that this must be the first Imperial Preceptor, the one who ascended to the Immortal Realm a hundred years ago. She quickly voiced the doubts that had been weighing on her mind for a long time: "I want to know, how did I come to this world? Where did the original Xia Li go? Did I... kill her?" A-Li was still very bothered by this matter.
