Chapter 2537 - 2227: Chu Yuqin’s Memory Restored

In the Yellow Springs Sect today, whether elders or disciples, all have been transformed into deceit demons, but some still maintain lucidity and possess their conscious minds.

But as they use the mysterious power more often to activate their mysterious bodies, they will likely completely lose their minds and turn into mindless deceit demons.

Although they carry the aura of deceit demons, even when encountering the mysterious forces, the mysterious will not attack them.

However, they must transform into deceit demons first for that aura to be released.

This means they need to maintain their mysterious bodies for a long time, which is extremely risky for them.

Zhao Wuxin does not wish to use that power, but it is the order of their Sect Hierarch, and above the Sect Hierarch is an even more terrifying presence. If they refuse to follow orders, their conscious minds could be obliterated in an instant, completely degenerating into deceit demons and becoming walking corpses.

At this moment, Mo Tianxing’s voice sounded again, and on the copper coffin, Mo Tianxing raised his hand, sending a scroll flying toward Zhao Wuxin, who hastily raised his hand to catch it.

Mo Tianxing said, "This map indicates the position of the soon-to-be-released Memory Pearl."

"This time, without interference from various powers in Central State, you should find it quite easy to obtain the Memory Pearl."

"This mission must succeed, failure is not permitted, or else the master will not spare you."

Zhao Wuxin replied, "Your orders are acknowledged."

Then, he grasped the scroll tightly and left the main hall.

...

After the Eternal Night descended, the world plunged into darkness, yet Dazhou remained brightly lit.

Despite the presence of many mysterious evil spirits on the streets, the people of Dazhou still dared to wander around, unlike in Central State, where doors are shut in every household, and people remain indoors.

In the Capital city, Chu Yuqin sat on a soft couch, absorbing deceitful evil from the air for cultivation.

At this moment, she suddenly sensed something, as if a voice was calling her.

Chu Yuqin opened her beautiful eyes, her expression incredibly serious.

At her realm, she remained vigilant to any sudden feelings.

Chu Yuqin rose from the bed and walked to the door, looking at the sky outside.

In the sky hung a blood moon.

Staring at the blood moon, the deceitful evil within Chu Yuqin stirred intensely, accompanied by an aura that made her feel uneasy.

Chu Yuqin flew into the sky, releasing her Divine Sense to investigate that unsettling aura.

At this moment, a black line seemingly appeared before her, extending toward the direction of the Ancient Ruins.

Chu Yuqin immediately headed in the direction of the Ancient Ruins. She soon arrived at the ruins’ entrance, seeing the black line indeed extended into the ruins. Standing at the entrance, Chu Yuqin hesitated, unsure of whether to enter.

She was uncertain if the black line was visible only to herself. If only she could see it, something might be guiding her into the ruins, reminding her of Lu Chen’s words to her in the past.

Could it really be that a sealed ominous force lies within here?

Is this black line the ominous force luring her?

If that’s the case, then she must not enter the ruins, as no one knows the intentions of the ominous force; perhaps it aims to reincarnate by taking over her and escaping this sealed place.

While Chu Yuqin hesitated, her heart raced increasingly. She felt an internal call from within the ruins, intuitively believing that entering them would grant her supreme power. This feeling grew stronger, nearly overwhelming her restraint, yet the greater the pull, the less she dared to enter.

Chu Yuqin thought to herself, even if there is a sealed ominous force inside the ruins, as long as she doesn’t actively help it unseal, it should be unable to reincarnate by taking over her.

She thought of checking it out, if danger arises, she’ll exit immediately.

Just a look shouldn’t pose any risk.

Subsequently, Chu Yuqin stepped forward, plunging directly into the black vortex, entering the Ancient Ruins again, finding the place changed from before.

When they left the Ancient Ruins before, it was flourishing and vibrant.

But now, the Ancient Ruins have transformed into a desolate land, enveloped in grey mist, visibility is nearly zero, with no wildlife whatsoever. Yet within the black fog, the black line remains incredibly clear, as if etched into Chu Yuqin’s eyes.

Entering the ruins, the black line’s allure grew stronger over Chu Yuqin, feeling her body slipping from her control, still worried about the sealed ominous force within the ruins, but drawn uncontrollably toward the black line’s end.

As time ticked away, she wandered in the black fog for an indeterminate duration, suddenly arriving at a space untouched by the fog.

At the center of this space was an altar, upon which a black pearl hovered.

Seeing the black pearl, Chu Yuqin’s hand instinctively raised, and the black pearl flew straight toward her.

Upon contact with Chu Yuqin’s palm, countless memories rushed into her mind.

Chu Yuqin’s mind trembled; instinctively wanting to shake off the black pearl, fearing perhaps an ominous force aimed to reincarnate by taking over her.

But her body was already immobilized, forced to absorb the memories within the Memory Pearl.

As memories gradually flooded into Chu Yuqin’s mind, the black Memory Pearl grew smaller yet didn’t vanish entirely.

Chu Yuqin closed her eyes, processing the memories that had merged into her mind.

Long after, she opened her hollow black eyes, stared at the black Memory Pearl in her hand, and displayed a complex expression, having recalled everything.

Unlike Xuan Qingyun, Chu Yuqin harbors no intense hostility toward Lu Chen.

Though Chu Yuqin is considered an ancestor of the strange, she isn’t the main body but a clone split from Chu Yunzhi, experiencing countless wonderful memories with Lu Chen within the Burial Furnace, still retaining feelings for him even upon leaving.

The choice between the main body and Lu Chen left her at a loss.

As even a clone of the mysterious, she possessed some strange thoughts and concepts.

Yet the memories with Lu Chen stabbed at her heart like a nail.

Unable to ignore all they had been through.

After a long while, Chu Yuqin clenched the Memory Pearl tightly, then stowed it away in the Space Ring.

She temporarily decided not to hand the Memory Pearl over to Chu Yunzhi.

Being Chu Yunzhi’s clone, their memories are sealed together within this Memory Pearl.

Her portion of the memories has been integrated, leaving Chu Yunzhi’s memories within the Magic Pearl.

If handed to Chu Yunzhi, she would swiftly regain her memories.

But that would mean another potential enemy for Lu Chen.

According to her absorbed memories, Ji Yunmeng and Chu Yunzhi’s Memory Pearls inherently tied together, it sensed Lu Chen’s presence, hid away instantaneously, drawing Lu Chen’s focus towards Ji Yunmeng’s Memory Pearl, thereby evading Lu Chen’s search.

Chu Yuqin thought that Lu Chen must have fully restored his previous memories, otherwise he wouldn’t proactively seek their Memory Pearls to thwart their memory restoration.

However, since Lu Chen acknowledges her as Madam Chu, it indicates his desire to rekindle their past relationship.
