Chapter 1313: Light Profound Force
When Yun Che woke up, it was already the next day.
For a Xuan adept who had reached the Divine Way realm, sleep was no longer important. But the aura of the Reincarnation Forbidden Land was so pure and intoxicating that sleeping here was an extremely wonderful and luxurious experience. In these past two months, Yun Che had slept more here than he had in the three years on Yin Xue Realm.
As his consciousness stirred, Shen Xi's celestial countenance—deeply imprinted into the depths of his soul—and everything that had happened before surged into his mind. He sat up abruptly, then stared blankly ahead, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
The elegant, small bamboo hut; beneath him, that bamboo bed; the messy traces; the scent in the air... everything proved that what had happened was real, not a beautiful dream.
He sat there in a daze for a full long while before finally recovering, then silently exhaled.
Everything was real. He had actually... taken Shen Xi—his greatly respected and admired benefactor and senior—and...
No, to be precise, Shen Xi had taken him.
He had seen the world's most beautiful being and experienced the most unbelievable day and night.
And his impression of Shen Xi had been completely overturned.
In Yun Che's heart, Shen Xi had been a holy celestial maiden from a palace beyond the heavens. The so-called holiness of the saintly maidens of the mortal world didn't reach even half of hers... because what he felt from her was true divine purity.
He now realized that he was still too young and naive.
It turned out she was never the stainless, pure fairy he had always believed her to be. Instead, she seemed aloof and desireless on the surface, but was actually a seductress with unfulfilled desires.
He had only known Shen Xi for two months. Before that, they had no interaction, no grudges. Their daily meetings lasted only a few brief breaths, with the sole purpose of suppressing the Buddhist Soul Death-Pleading Seal. Their understanding of each other's pasts and personalities was very shallow, and there was absolutely no emotional connection... and he had always addressed her with the utmost respect as a senior.
Yet Shen Xi had taken the initiative to seduce him, an outsider and a junior, allowing him to defile her...
Sure enough, there could be no truly desireless divine maiden in this world. Even a real fairy would have desires... And with her celestial beauty, if she were willing, what man in the world wouldn't want to fall at her feet?
Even a temporary intruder like him, a junior, she couldn't resist seducing. She must have... experienced countless men already.
Thinking like this, Yun Che's heart was a tangle of complex emotions. He stood up from the bamboo bed, but as soon as he took a step, a sudden numbness surged through his lower back, nearly making him collapse back down.
Yun Che instinctively pressed his hand against his kidney area, feeling weakness in his legs... Recalling how he had thrown himself onto Shen Xi for that day and night, he had been like a completely mad beast. Even back then, when he had vigorously tossed around with Cang Yue, Su Ling'er, Feng Xue'er, and Xiao Yaohou for four days and three nights before setting off for the God Realm, he hadn't been this drained.
And now, he was at the Divine Spirit Realm, far beyond what he was back then.
Shen Xi... if she turned seductive, she could definitely make even a Divine Way Xuan adept die on her body.
By the way! Why did I fall asleep? Was it because I completely exhausted myself?
Thinking of Shen Xi's peerlessly beautiful jade body, even though he was in a state of weakness, his blood surged instantly, and his entire body temperature rose rapidly. He quickly took several deep breaths to forcibly suppress the lustful thoughts, then prepared to circulate his profound energy to erase the sense of exhaustion.
The moment he was about to redirect his profound energy, he froze in shock, then remained still for a long time... his eyes releasing an incredulous, strange light.
Inside his body, there was actually an additional aura that didn't belong to him.
That aura was extremely quiet, pure, and holy. When his consciousness touched this aura, his heart and soul rippled with a clear and strong sense of "divinity."
This was...
Although the feeling was different, Yun Che was no stranger to what this aura was. Just two years ago, he had obtained it from Mu Xuanyin.
Yin Qi!
"Shen Xi... she is... a virgin?" Yun Che murmured to himself, utterly unable to believe it.
He had already transformed the sacred, ethereal Shen Xi in his heart into a seductress cloaked in holiness but actually insatiable. But the yin Qi inside him left him completely stunned and confused.
What was going on...
Her yin essence was still intact, proving she had never been with any man. Before yesterday, she was truly and genuinely pure and flawless, holy and unstained.
But why did she do it to me... and of her own accord...
Why?
While Yun Che was still dazed, a violent throbbing suddenly occurred in his lower abdomen. Then, an extremely warm and gentle aura burst forth, releasing streams of equally gentle currents that spread from the inside out, quickly permeating his entire body, then rapidly converging toward his profound veins.
Before Yun Che could react, his entire body was covered with a faint layer of white light.
It was the same pure white light that covered Shen Xi's body. But it was far less deep and holy than hers.
Yun Che slowly raised his hand. As his will moved, a ball of white light slowly condensed in his palm.
It was a very simple white, without any impurities. This profound light was very quiet. Compared to flames, cold, lightning... even to the purest profound energy, it was quieter. It quietly emitted light, without agitation, without any aggressiveness. And from it, Yun Che could clearly feel a "sacred" aura.
This ball of white light was born from his profound energy. He stared at it fixedly. Just by looking at it, he felt his state of mind gradually calm down. Even his shock and confusion, and the lustful thoughts that had just stirred, slowly subsided.
"This is... Senior Shen Xi's power," Yun Che muttered to himself.
This was the special divine power that, according to Xia Qingyue, only Shen Xi possessed in the entire world.
Through her yin essence, he had just obtained her unique divine power?
What kind of power was this?
As the white light shimmered on Yun Che's body, the world of his profound veins was also tinged with a layer of holy white radiance.
The four-colored profound vein world, originally divided by red, blue, purple, and black, finally welcomed a fifth color, and a fifth power—Light Profound Force.
Because this Light Profound Force was not born from the Evil God Seed, its arrival did not open a unique light domain in Yun Che's profound vein world. Instead, it gently covered every corner, adding a divine radiance and aura to every domain.
Including the dark domain.
But at this moment, Yun Che did not know this was Light Profound Force. He didn't even know what concept it was for Light Profound Force and Dark Profound Force to coexist so strangely in his profound veins.
The five basic elemental profound forces are mutually restrictive. But mutual restriction can still allow coexistence. Even water and fire, which are the most violently opposing, can be cultivated together forcibly.
But light and darkness are two completely contradictory, incompatible attributes. In the understanding of the God Realm, even in the understanding of the ancient Primordial Era, they could absolutely never coexist.
Even an Elemental Creation God could never achieve it.
Yun Che closed his hand, and the white light on his palm and body disappeared simultaneously. He did not refine the yin Qi from Shen Xi inside him; instead, he suppressed it, then walked out with a complicated heart.
Pushing open the bamboo door felt like opening the window to a dream. Yan Che saw in an instant that the wood spirit maiden was standing not far away, her beautiful eyes fixed on him. When she saw him, she moved with lotus steps and came directly before him: "Yun Che, you've finally come out."
Yun Che's heart was uneasy, and his old face flushed slightly. But he kept his expression steady and said, "You... were waiting here for me?"
"Mm." He Ling nodded. "Master said for you to go find her when you came out."
She gestured in the direction where Shen Xi was, then opened her lips as if to ask something, but hesitated.
"Uh, okay. I'll go right away." Yun Che quickly responded, then fled away, afraid that He Ling would ask any questions.
Watching Yun Che's hurried departing back, the wood spirit maiden's tender face showed a rare hint of confusion. He and Master stayed inside together for a whole day and night... what exactly were they doing?
And why did Master say that he could help me take revenge?
Shen Xi stood amidst myriad flowers, white light swirling around her body, once again concealing the brilliance that would make all the spirit flowers here pale in comparison. Sensing Yun Che's arrival, she turned to face him and said softly, "You're awake."
"...Mm." Yun Che nodded, then didn't know what else to say.
The Shen Xi before him stood as if above the clouds. Her words were gentle and faint, her aura ethereal and distant, making one afraid to approach, afraid to defile.
Yun Che felt a blur before his eyes... Had he really pressed her beneath him and indulged himself for a day and a night?
"I've already told Ling'er that you currently lack the strength and the will to avenge her," Shen Xi said slowly. "But don't forget Ling'er's life-saving grace to you, and don't forget your words. It's only 'temporarily.' If, in the future, you have enough strength, while avenging yourself, don't forget Ling'er."
Then she added softly, "But that day might come very soon."
"...Yes." Yun Che barely managed to reply with one word.
Shen Xi looked at him, her voice soft as cotton fluff: "These days, make sure to focus on refining my yin essence. If even a fraction is lost, it would be a great pity."
The words "my yin essence" came from her lips softly and gently, as if she were just stating the most normal and ordinary thing.
"..." Yun Che stood rooted to the spot, a very slight and wonderful dizziness in his mind. For a long time, he didn't know how to respond.
This feeling was so strange. Shen Xi... what kind of person was she exactly...
"Do you have something to ask?" she said.
Yun Che indeed had countless questions in his heart, especially wanting to know why such a divine maiden, revered by the world, would give herself to him... But facing her immaculate, untainted celestial form, he couldn't bring himself to ask such questions at all. After holding it in for a long time, he extended his hand, and a ball of pure white profound light shone in his palm: "Senior Shen Xi... I would like to know, what exactly is this power?"
The word "senior" felt very awkward coming from his mouth.
Looking at the white profound light in Yun Che's hand, Shen Xi remained silent for a long time.
Yun Che was slightly stunned and looked sideways as he asked, "Is there... something wrong?"
Still silence. After another long while, Shen Xi's aura finally showed a slight fluctuation. She let out a soft, seemingly absent-minded murmur: "Why would this power appear on you..."
Yun Che raised an eyebrow, his heart even more puzzled, and probingly asked, "Isn't this a special gift from Senior Shen Xi to me?"
"..." Shen Xi fell silent again. After a full ten breaths, she finally said softly, "This power is a special type of profound force, called Light Profound Force."
