Chapter 64

Chapter 64 The molten lava here was extremely deep, and Song Wei Zhi had been soaking at the bottom of the lava for a long time, making it extremely difficult for her to find a way out from the bottom. But fortunately, she could move all of her limbs now, and during the time she soaked in the lava, Song Wei Zhi's cultivation had improved quite a bit. She hadn't paid attention before, but now she had adapted to the temperature of the lava and found that her cultivation had actually advanced to the level of Great Consummation, two major realms higher than before. For Song Wei Zhi, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. She had been walking at the bottom of the lava every day, hoping to find a way up, but to no avail. She had no idea where it led to, so she could only continue searching at the bottom of the lava. Gradually, she found that she could actually open her eyes and hear the movements in the lava. She felt that not far from her, it seemed like someone was talking. Song Wei Zhi followed the sound and felt something hard next to her. As soon as she touched it, the conversation stopped. She took a closer look and saw a dark red Tang knife with no blade. The body of the knife seemed to be wrapped in a lot of bloodstains, forming a pattern on it. While Song Wei Zhi was looking at the knife, it began to tremble, and a harsh male voice came from inside it. "Haha, it's really strange. No one can survive falling into this magma, but you seem a bit interesting. However, with your delicate appearance, the taste of your three souls and seven spirits must be quite good." As the harsh voice finished speaking, the knife aimed at Song Wei Zhi's face intending to strike. However, Song Wei Zhi was no longer the weakling who had just fallen into the lava. Her cultivation level of Great Consummation allowed her to control the knife tightly in her hand. The harsh voice from within the knife scolded, "Oh my, underestimated the little girl, huh? But do you think I am so powerless?" As the voice fell, the knife seemed to pull towards Song Wei Zhi as if it had suction, but she stood resolutely in place, paying no attention to the piercing voice from the knife. She felt that the knife did not seem to be a good thing, so she grabbed the hilt on one hand and the blade on the other, ready to break the evil blade in half. The voice from the knife sounded urgent, "Lady, have mercy on me. I am a famous demonic knife from a hundred years ago. It would be better for you to keep and use me. Don't break me into two." "Keep you? Listening to you, you don't seem like a decent knife, and I'm currently under this lava. You are of no use to me. A piece of trash, I'd rather split you in half." Song Wei Zhi said, gearing up to take action. The knife quickly spoke up, "Lady, spare me. I can help you get out of this magma." Song Wei Zhi ignored the knife's nonsense as she was determined to move forward with her plan. However, it seemed that the knife did not give up easily, "I really know a way. There's a fragment of the Cyan Bird's soul in the magma. If you absorb it, you can escape from this hundred-meter-deep lava and fly out." Song Wei Zhi with a hint of a cold smile, "If I can't find that thing, I will still break you into two." Under the guidance of the demonic knife, Song Wei Zhi came to a crevice at the bottom of the lava. The crevice was deep, and there was a faint flash of yellow light inside, which seemed like the fragment of the Cyan Bird's soul. However, Song Wei Zhi had no intention of going down herself. She held the demonic knife in her hand, preparing to throw the knife into the crevice to help her retrieve the fragment. The voice within the knife was almost crying out, "Lady, the underground is unfathomable. If you throw me in, I won't be able to come out again." "So you want to trick me into going down?" Song Wei Zhi retorted. "Lady, I was wrong. I really was. I will help you get it. Please, you are my master. I won't dare lie anymore. Trust me once more, please, Mistress," the voice from within the knife pleaded again. Song Wei Zhi was still skeptical of the knife's words, but with the confirmation from the System, she gradually pushed the knife into the crevice using her spiritual power. The knife, guided by Song Wei Zhi's power, moved flexibly within the crevice and soon retrieved the yellow fragment of the soul. Song Wei Zhi then used her spiritual power to lift the knife out, the yellow fragment in her palm. Thinking that it was her own fragment and planning to return it to its owner later, she quickly integrated the fragment into her soul. She felt lighter than before. The demonic knife, afraid of being forgotten, promptly spoke up, "Mistress, I have obtained the fragment of the Cyan Bird's soul for you. Can you please take me with you when you leave? I have been buried in this place for hundreds of years and am eager to see the outside world." Song Wei Zhi raised an eyebrow, shook the knife in her hand, and said, "You don't seem like a good thing at all. I'm worried that you'll turn against me once we are outside." The knife explained earnestly, "Mistress, I can be of great use to you. When I kill someone, their three souls and seven spirits will be devoured by the blade, and they will never be able to reincarnate." Although Song Wei Zhi knew the knife was not to be trusted, considering how others had mistreated her and Xia Xia, she thought the knife might still be useful. "Is that so? I'll take you with me. But if you betray me, I'll turn you into scrap metal immediately." "Thank you, Mistress. I will protect you faithfully," the demonic knife replied. Disregarding the knife's words, Song Wei Zhi activated her spiritual power. With the help of the soul fragment, she slowly began to lift herself from the lava, gradually passing through layer after layer until she reached the surface. Her clothes had been burned off long ago, so she used her spiritual power to create a mist around her body. When she tried to use her leaving sword, she found it had turned into ashes in the lava. Song Wei Zhi decided to fly upward, as the distance was no longer an issue with her current cultivation level. Moreover, she didn't trust the demonic knife in her hand. As soon as she reached the surface, the true nature of the demonic knife was revealed. It had been sealed within the lava, and now its immense power was unleashed. The once-dark red body of the knife was wrapped in bloodstains and emanated dark energy. "Haha, I've deceived the little girl. As my master? You are too naive," the knife sneered and moved towards Song Wei Zhi. However, she reacted swiftly and covered the knife with layers of ice, freezing it in place. The knife helplessly trapped inside, while Song Wei Zhi stated coldly, "As I thought, you are no good. I am better off getting rid of you." With a deep breath, she used her spiritual power to move the huge ice block towards the edge of the platform. Inside the block, the trapped knife grew frantic. "Mistress, I was wrong. Please, trust me again." Song Wei Zhi had long ceased to believe the knife's empty promises. It was only after receiving confirmation from the System that she allowed the demonic knife a chance. She then carefully cut her fingertip and let a drop of blood fall onto the knife. As her blood seeped into the blade, Song Wei Zhi felt a connection forming between herself and the weapon. After teaching the knife a lesson, it lay on the ground, trembling. "Mistress, I truly am afraid." Seeing the knife in genuine pain, Song Wei Zhi stopped and, at that moment, she heard a mechanical voice from the System in her mind: "Congratulations, Host. The female protagonist's soul fragment integration was successful. Reward: 1000 points." Song Wei Zhi was puzzled. The piece of the soul fragment she found was still inside her. How did she earn points? The System explained in her mind, "The soul fragment obtained by the Host should be the one brought back by the female protagonist and integrated into her own body." Song Wei Zhi finally showed a long-lost smile when she realized her little sister should be safe as well. It turned out that the thirty tribulations on that day were not a coincidence. Xia Xia's flesh and blood had been constantly consumed by the demons at the Blood-Swallow Cliff, but she gained extensive experience from it. Coupled with the three soul fragments she had, Xia Xia's cultivation speed became incredibly fast. In a short time, she had swiftly ascended by three major realms, reaching the level of Great Consummation. However, her body had also been led down the path of the demonic way by these creatures. Originally, Xia Xia could achieve the Dao Fusion stage by enduring only fifteen tribulations, but when a demonic cultivator breaks through a realm, they must endure double the tribulations. Therefore, she was struck by thirty tribulations and turned into charcoal. However, the foolish demons, wanting to continue consuming Xia Xia's flesh and body, nourished her with spiritual medicine, successfully revitalizing her once again. When these creatures prepared to feast on Xia Xia as before, she stood up from the ground. A dark aura enveloped her entire body, her peach-colored lips turned a bright red, and her seductive charm became even more pronounced between her eyebrows. Her enchanting peach blossom eyes were captivating, further enhanced by the red clothes she wore, giving the impression that she had transformed into someone else. With her increased cultivation and her prior descent into the demonic way, Xia Xia could already see the creatures around her that desired to consume her. With a slight smile, Xia Xia opened her red lips and said, "Speaking of that, it looks like I should repay you for saving me."
