Current uses: 2] The chance to save the file was still twice. Because I reloaded, the usage count also reset...? Isn't this basically a bug? Mu Zhian didn't notice that while he was staring at his personal interface, the maid behind him was watching him without saying a word. After pressing save once more, Mu Zhian turned to the group and smiled, "I'll have to trouble everyone to protect me." Without a doubt, Wei Mengrou's strand of Heavenly Qi seemed peculiar. It was only after she refined the Heavenly Qi that her Misfortune Physique was exposed. In other words, as long as the person refining the Heavenly Qi wasn't Wei Mengrou, the Misfortune Physique wouldn't be revealed. At least, not in the martial realm... that's how Mu Zhian thought of it. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then, sitting cross-legged on the blade of his flying sword, he attempted to draw the Heavenly Qi into his body. However, Mu Zhian clearly underestimated the difficulty of refining this Heavenly Qi. While it was quite cordial to him outside, the moment he tried to refine it inside his body, it resisted immensely, refusing to be refined. Undeterred, Mu Zhian kept his eyes closed, channeling spiritual energy to try to guide the Heavenly Qi into his core. Meanwhile, Lan Feiying, who was protecting him outside, casually glanced at Wei Mengrou and said softly, "Doesn't it bother you, Wei? This is Heavenly Qi, after all." Wei Mengrou just looked at Mu Zhian and slowly shook her head. "I don't have much interest in Heavenly Qi, it's fine if he wants it. Moreover..." Wei Mengrou paused, as if she had more to say. "Moreover?" Wei Mengrou shook her head. "Never mind... it's nothing." Moreover, the young master likely isn't interested in the Heavenly Qi itself. The personal interface he opened and the description of the Witch's Body were intriguing... Time passed quietly and unnoticeably. Almost a quarter of an hour later, Ye Qian suddenly pointed to the sky, exclaiming, "Mengrou, look at that!" Wei Mengrou looked up slightly, her gaze freezing. In the sky, a mass of leaden clouds had slowly formed, flashing with lightning. Boom! A streak of lightning broke through, illuminating Wei Mengrou's cold and exquisite face. In those clouds, a black beam of light descended silently, targeting Wei Mengrou directly! "What is that...?" Ye Lingxuan frowned, watching the ominous black beam of light with growing concern. Bai Ruoxi also watched the black beam intently. After a brief pause, she suddenly gasped, "The Misfortune Physique...?" Lan Muliang seemed to sense something, looking up at the black beam from where it originated. A golden silhouette appeared in their field of vision, unnoticed until now. Gu Boxing. ... Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes, exhaling deeply. This black Heavenly Qi was much harder to refine than he had anticipated. While it seemed friendly outside, its resistance to being refined was palpable. In the end, Mu Zhian barely managed to suppress the Heavenly Qi within his core. But refining it would still take time. "Mu Gongzi..." A gentle voice, tinged with hesitation, came from beside him. Mu Zhian glanced to his side, finding the Saintess of the Sea, a beauty in blue, gazing at him with a hesitant expression. Only now did Mu Zhian realize that those tasked with protecting him were nowhere to be seen. "What happened?" Mu Zhian inquired. Then, upon seeing the pockmarked landscape around him, he seemed to remember something, a faint smile appearing on his face as he calmly said, "Gu Boxing was here?" Tang Sufi looked at Mu Zhian in surprise, then nodded, "He intended to take Miss Wei to the Great Qian Dynasty. After Lan set up a barrier to isolate external influences, she went to stop him." "With the faith power of a dynasty and given his suspected peak Return to Void stage, it may be challenging to stop him..." As she spoke, noticing Mu Zhian's silence, Tang Sufi quickly reassured, "Upon returning to the Sea, I'll inform the clan elders about this and get Miss Wei back." Despite her words, Mu Zhian remained silent, head lowered, thoughtful. It seemed he needed to refine the Heavenly Qi before Gu Boxing arrived in the martial realm and trigger the 'punishment of the Heavenly Dao' before Mengrou could. Wei Mengrou wasn't drawing Gu Boxing's attention by refining Heavenly Qi; it was her nearing the Return to Void realm, her growing power catching Heavenly Dao's eye, thus attracting Gu Boxing! Heavenly Qi was a mere trigger for revealing the Misfortune Physique. "Mu Gongzi—" Tang Sufi seemed to want to say more, but before she could finish, Mu Zhian emotionlessly pressed the reload option. This time, he underestimated the difficulty of refining the Heavenly Qi. Despite Wei Mengrou's Heavenly Qi being cordial, it refused to be refined by him. If he could refine the ominously symbolic Heavenly Qi sooner, perhaps he could attract Gu Boxing's interest before Wei Mengrou. ... After failing six times, Mu Zhian exhaled slowly, his usually composed demeanor slightly shaken. Refining the Heavenly Qi was far more difficult than expected; each time Wei Mengrou's Misfortune Physique was revealed before he could finish. He needed faster refining... within two sticks of incense. For that, he needed practiced skill. On the thirteenth attempt, Mu Zhian significantly accelerated his refining speed. Despite the Heavenly Qi dodging into his body, it refused to enter his core. But each time it dodged left, Mu Zhian's spiritual energy anticipated it, and if it shot upwards, he would trap it in a spiritual web. If he managed to refine the Heavenly Qi before Wei Mengrou's Misfortune Physique was exposed, Gu Boxing would seek him, not her. For this Heavenly Qi represented 'misfortune' itself. In this game, Mu Zhian was a pawn, but not a sacrificial one. If he claimed the 'Misfortune Physique,' victory would be his. And this time, Mu Zhian was closest to success. Cautiously and swiftly, he guided the Heavenly Qi into his core, anticipating every move it made. With nearly five minutes passing, he opened his eyes, relaxed to see the maid in yellow before him, finally relieved. It seemed he'd succeeded this time— His thoughts were abruptly interrupted when he noticed the black beam already descending upon Wei Mengrou. A golden deity also appeared within sight. Indifferent, it gazed in Mu Zhian's direction, eyes first lingering on Wei Mengrou, then on him. Before it could speak, Mu Zhian greeted it with a smile, saying, "Gui Boxing, you wanted to invite my maid to the Great Qian Dynasty, correct? Isn't that what you came to ask?" Gui Boxing's eyes flickered with surprise. Mind-reading...? How could a cultivator at the Spirit-Refining level know his thoughts? "How do you know?" He asked softly. Mu Zhian didn't reply, simply smiling warmly at the towering golden deity. Then, he gently pressed the reload option again. ... On the seventeenth attempt, Mu Zhian engaged in a 'life-and-death struggle' with the Heavenly Qi. Each time it dodged left, he intercepted it a moment earlier; when it attempted to escape upwards, his spiritual energy lay in wait. Every step flawlessly predicted, this attempt wasted no time, unlike previous ones. Ultimately, the Heavenly Qi seemed to concede, slowly entering Mu Zhian's body. Not far away, Lan Muliang noticed, eyes widened in astonishment, softly commenting, "How did he refine the Heavenly Qi so quickly...?" Mu Zhian had been refining the Heavenly Qi for less than the time it takes to burn one incense stick. Even she couldn't refine Heavenly Qi in such a short span, especially when it showed no sign of resistance from start to finish. Not only Lan Mulian felt this way, but the others also couldn't help but look at the young man sitting cross-legged with a mix of surprise. At this moment, Wei Mengrou seemed to sense something and instinctively glanced at the sky. Boom! A deep black beam of light quietly enveloped the area. Lan Feiying's expression shifted slightly, murmuring to herself, "Misfortune Physique...?" Things were about to turn troublesome. If those from the Great Qian Dynasty found out about the Misfortune Physique, it could spell trouble for Miss Wei... The black beam slowly moved toward Wei Mengrou, and not far away, the gathered cultivators watched with shock. The Misfortune Physique was rumored to affect the fortune of an entire dynasty, and now it appeared to be among them? At this moment, numerous eyes were fixed on the black beam, each filled with doubt and curiosity about who might possess such a legendary Misfortune Physique. Wei Mengrou seemed to realize something. She looked at the impending heavenly punishment, then at those around her, and finally at Mu Zhian, still refining Heavenly Qi in the distance. "Take care of him," she said softly. Then, she stepped forward. The misfortune targeted her alone, but if others were nearby, it might affect them too. At that moment, Wei Mengrou intended to bear this "heavenly punishment" herself. "Mengrou!" Ye Qian anxiously tried to pull her back, but Wei Mengrou raised her hand. A sword fell from the sky, blocking Ye Qian's way. The Misfortune Physique was a punishment from the heavenly way because her existence threatened it. Others couldn't help her. Wei Mengrou looked up at the black beam, shining down like dark sunlight. She slowly closed her eyes, feeling the black beam envelop her. The misfortune seemed to solidify around her, radiating a fearsome black glow. Yet, in just a few seconds, the black glow began to fade. Wei Mengrou opened her eyes, filled with astonishment. No... it wasn't disappearing; the light had moved away from her?! As this thought crossed her mind, an unprecedentedly intense black light erupted from just behind her! The dark light shot skyward, forming a black beam that seemed to pierce the heavens and earth! Wei Mengrou turned abruptly, eyes widening. It was where Mu Zhian had been refining the Heavenly Qi! The heavenly punishment had instead descended upon Mu Zhian! Everyone was momentarily stunned. Even the girls around Mu Zhian were momentarily taken aback. In their understanding, Wei Mengrou had always been the holder of the Misfortune Physique. Yet now... the heavenly punishment brought by the Misfortune Physique had fallen on Mu Zhian? Before anyone could react, a golden light quietly appeared in the martial realm, forming a massive golden deity. --- Chapter start Previous chapter 306/718 Next chapter End directory Previous: No One Understands Being a Villain Better Than Me Next: Anime Crossover: Transforming into a Superhero Recommended Reading!
