32 - The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment

## Chapter 8: The Tears of the Moonlight Pearl Her gaze then shifted to You Gui. "What are you doing?" Under the terrifying pressure, You Gui stood straight and unyielding, showing no signs of being overwhelmed. When the female cultivator uttered those words, he did not retreat, but instead advanced, flying towards Bai Lian who was floating mid-air. "......" The female cultivator's voice caught in her throat. Why? Her strength remained unimpaired, yet she was utterly suppressed and unable to move. How could the seemingly frail You Gui act unaffected? Yes, he was burning his own soul. But how could the soul of a tribulation period cultivator possess such terrifying power? The female cultivator couldn't comprehend it. She only felt that You Gui's presence was more radiant than ever before. Under that radiance, Bai Lian, who had been slumped on the ground, also stood up. Facing the gigantic monster that dwarfed her a thousand-fold, it was impossible not to feel fear. Most of the power from the two inferior celestial spirit stones had been infused into Jiang Jing, yet not only did it fail to kill Jiang Jing, but it also brought forth another monstrous entity. She had never seen such a creature in the game, but she was certain it was far more powerful than Jiang Jing. "Perhaps this is despair," Bai Lian mused. She glanced down at her hands, which were now marred with fine scars, the red of blood replacing the snow-white color. Blood also oozed from her left eye socket, leaving a trail as it trickled down her cheek. This time, she really couldn't continue. The pain blurred her consciousness, her body too battered to withstand the impact of another celestial spirit stone. She tried to heal herself with the "Bloom of Ten Thousand Worlds." But without the ability to control her internal spiritual energy, the flowers barely bloomed on her skin before quickly withering. "Sigh." Bai Lian sighed softly. She looked up, meeting the gaze of the grotesque "monster." This time, she truly had no cards left to play. "After all, crossing so many levels to battle, reaching this point is actually quite commendable..." But in the end, it still felt regrettable. Bai Lian's lips curled into a bitter smile. Blood trickled onto her lips, tasting bitter. She had proclaimed that she would definitely return after drawing her sword, had promised to find a way to cheer up Tong Shimei, had envisioned a life of leisure in the mountains with her mentor and fellow disciples. Yet she was about to break those promises. Her journey was far from halfway done. Bai Lian lowered her head, clenching her teeth tightly. Tears welled in her eyes, yet never fell, instead crystallizing into fine ice particles that dispersed into the air. The wind howled. Bai Lian quietly awaited the arrival of death. In truth, she did have one last trump card— The Tears of the Moonlight Pearl gifted by her mentor! But the emerging system task further solidified her decision to refrain from using it. **[Task 1: Use the Tears of the Moonlight Pearl (Completion Reward: Incomplete Fu Zhu Immortal Body)]** **[Task 2: Do nothing (Completion Reward: Incomplete Fu Zhu Immortal Body)]** The incomplete Fu Zhu Immortal Body was as valuable as a top-tier spiritual weapon. Given that the rewards for both tasks were identical, Bai Lian didn't need to think further. She chose the second task. Bai Lian gently clasped the storage pendant between her chest. The originally icy object now felt warm.
