The system hesitated for a moment before responding coldly, "What do you want then?"
Ye Xiuyuan felt a surge of joy in his heart and hurriedly thought, the attitudes of the sisters at Qingjing Peak largely depended on the Third Sister's feelings towards him. As long as she forgave him and treated him as before, they would have nothing to say.
"System, you must have something that can sway people's hearts, right?"
Although the Senior Sister had mentioned that the Third Sister had regained quite a bit of her memory, recalling how she had previously rejected him made Ye Xiuyuan uneasy. He still wanted to play it safe; it would be best to take this opportunity to resolve the matter completely.
The system emerged from his body, circling around him several times.
Even though it was just a ball of light, Ye Xiuyuan could clearly feel a dark and sharp gaze fixed on him, as if assessing the reliability of his words.
Listening to Ye Xiuyuan, this indeed seemed like a profitable deal. Moreover, it had already wasted too much time on these people from Qingjing Peak and had given Ye Xiuyuan quite a few things; leaving now would not be worth it.
With this in mind, the system's voice turned grim. "This is your last chance. If this doesn't work out, I'll consume you."
The fortune surrounding Ye Xiuyuan was pitifully thin, but if it didn't consume him, it would be hard to quell its resentment.
A glimmer of determination sparked in Ye Xiuyuan's eyes as he murmured, "Just wait; this time I will succeed."
The master of Miaochun Valley was ill and did not come this time; instead, she sent Shu Qingyao along with several elders and disciples. She wanted Shu Qingyao to take this opportunity to gain more experience so that if something significant happened in the future, she wouldn't be completely unprepared.
"Young Valley Master, you were looking for me?" Shu Qingyao looked at him with her eyes curved in a smile. "You’re being so formal; I didn’t know you were such a rule-abiding person."
Qi Xiao rubbed his nose, feeling somewhat speechless.
It wasn't that he was particularly rule-abiding; rather, Valley Master Ye had already semi-retired, delegating most of the valley's affairs to Shu Qingyao.
Outside of Shu Qingyao herself, she represented the face of Miaochun Valley. Even the two heads of Qianyuan Sect and Tianyan Academy showed her great respect.
If he continued to address her casually as before, Qi Xiao felt it would be disrespectful to Miaochun Valley.
"You're joking. The two heads respect you greatly; if I were to act like before, that would be inappropriate."
Shu Qingyao's expression darkened slightly. After a while, she said, "Ever since my master entrusted the affairs of the valley to me, my senior brothers and sisters have distanced themselves from me. I didn't expect you to do the same."
Suddenly, she smiled and added, "Forget about that. The reason I came to find you is because that young girl by your side gave me this."
After dealing with all the matters concerning Baiyun Palace, the three major sects sent people to search the entire Baiyun Palace, hoping to uncover any additional information.
Upon seeing this, Yingchun immediately retrieved a treasured booklet belonging to Elder Luo. After some twists and turns, it finally landed in Shu Qingyao's hands.
"Do you know why the two sect leaders would give this booklet to me?" she asked.
"I would like to hear more about it," he replied.
Shu Qingyao opened the top page and saw two similar black lotus flowers illustrated there.
"This one is the Rebirth Lotus, and this one is the Woe Lotus. These two types of lotus flowers are sacred objects of the Demon Realm."
The elders of the Xiaoyao Sect had gone to Wangjing City and discovered that the entire city was already covered by a type of black lotus flower. After extensive research, I finally found the answer in this booklet: the roadblocks outside the city were indeed caused by the Woe Lotus.
Qi Xiao was puzzled but patiently waited for her to continue.
"Do you know why these two types of lotus flowers are called sacred objects of the Demon Realm?"
Such matters were usually secrets, and Shu Qingyao didn't expect Qi Xiao to know. Without waiting for his response, she continued, "The Demon Realm exists as a separate world and cannot enter normal reincarnation."
In the realms of humans and immortals, when a person dies, they turn to dust and soil. As time passes—after who knows how many years—these fragments of souls gradually coalesce into an individual being, reborn in a woman's womb.
However, the Demon Realm is isolated and abandoned by heaven; thus, matters of life and death cannot cycle normally. For a long time, there was only death in the Demon Realm without any birth.
Perhaps due to the collective willpower of its beings or some divine mercy from above, at some point in time, two types of flowers appeared on the land of the Demon Realm: one for life and one for death.
One flower is responsible for gathering soul fragments and nurturing individuals; the other is responsible for dissolving souls so that they can enter normal reincarnation.
Is that why the Rebirth Lotus and Woe Lotus are revered as sacred flowers of the Demon Realm?
"Exactly."
"The Woe Lotus inherently governs death. Humans who come close to this flower will be continuously lured into various traps of death. Although this flower is incredibly powerful, as long as one remains cautious and keeps their distance, it won't cause too much harm."
"Since that's the case and it's not a big deal, why are you so anxious?"
"Because this flower is exceedingly rare. It is a flower of the Demon Realm; even on its own land, it is difficult to grow. How could it suddenly appear in the human realm?"
I suspect that a spatial rift has already appeared in Wangjing City!
Shu Qingyao continued to explain to him. The human realm and the demon realm are separated, and in order to facilitate communication between the two realms, there are two methods: one is to break down the barriers of the demon realm, and the other is to create a spatial rift.
This method does not involve breaking the existing barriers; instead, it creates a passage of space between two non-adjacent areas. To tear apart the void is something only those who have comprehended the rules of time and space can achieve. Do you understand what this means?
The number of cultivators in the cultivation realm is vast, yet there isn’t even a single immortal among them, let alone anyone who has comprehended the rules. According to historical records, such feats can only be barely approached by the top-tier experts among immortals.
If a spatial rift truly exists, it means that the entire cultivation realm has no chance against the demon race! It would be nothing but a complete annihilation! If we allow the rift to persist, the demon race will undoubtedly find ways to enlarge it further. Initially, only minor demons can pass through this gap, but eventually, who knows what might emerge from it?
Shu Qingyao sighed softly; unfortunately, with Heaven in slumber and the cultivation realm weak, there are currently no cultivators in the entire cultivation realm who have comprehended the essence of time and space, let alone those who could seal it using such powers.
I have discussed with the two sect leaders about our options: either we forcefully break into the city and seal the rift, which is merely a temporary solution that only delays the inevitable. In the future, we will still be unable to withstand it. Or we could use heavenly power to forcibly repair the rift.
Unfortunately, there are very few individuals in the cultivation realm capable of harnessing heavenly power; even if there were, they all perished a thousand years ago.
