A Girl Dies Every Day in Her Dream Life 216

Chapter 216: Let Master Check Your Body

Not everyone could accept the decline in their realm and power as calmly as the White Tiger spirit.

Yudu Cheng, who once stood at the peak of the Great Dao, couldn’t accept such weakness.

After his Dao collapsed, Yudu Cheng wasn’t willing to be limited to the Soul Transformation Realm.

To break through this limitation, he could only embark on another Great Dao.

But unfortunately… all his talent had been invested in his previous Dao, and he couldn’t advance further on a new path.

Therefore, Yudu Cheng chose another method.

Since he was limited by his talent, he would simply change to a body with better talent. After all, he had many descendants, plenty with outstanding talent.

Thus, Yudu Cheng embarked on the path of demonic cultivation, surviving to the present in this neither-human-nor-ghost form.

However… after the end of the ancient era, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth greatly declined. Even with the emergence of more geniuses, they couldn’t reach the heights of the ancient era.

In this era, Saints were already rare, hidden powerhouses, and Sea Crossing Realm cultivators were considered the core fighting strength of the clans.

This was unimaginable in the ancient era, all because of the great tribulation and the collapse of the Great Dao.

And demonic cultivation wasn’t without its drawbacks. After Yudu Cheng successfully possessed a body, its talent would decrease.

For Yudu Cheng to return to his peak seemed impossible.

—Until he discovered that the power within the demonic remains was very similar to the power he felt from the figure at the end of the collapsing Great Dao.

Thus, a plan was born, a plan that would cost the lives of most of his clan members.

“Although there was a slight mishap, I didn’t expect the troublesome Nangong clan to have a backup plan… but it doesn’t matter, they can only resolve three or four crises at most, and there are still several more… enough for these demonic remains to recover to the Saint Realm.”

Yudu Cheng slowly opened his eyes, and the demonic remains beside him instantly withered, leaving behind only formless flesh and blood.

He had absorbed almost all of the special power and could feel himself growing stronger at a visible speed.

This growth seemed limitless.

“This is the power… that ‘God’ should have…”

Yudu Cheng’s face was filled with a drunken ecstasy, and he smacked his lips, anticipating the “divine power” within the Saint Realm otherworldly demon.

Before triggering all the otherworldly demon crises, he had already made preparations in various locations, except for the Nangong clan’s ancestral land.

He couldn’t approach the Nangong ancestral land. The eternally burning inextinguishable flames were a deadly threat to those who hadn’t touched the ultimate laws.

Besides the Nangong clan members, only a freak like Luo Xue could freely enter and leave.

“Once I absorb all this ‘divine power,’ reaching Saint… no, even Great Emperor, isn’t impossible.” Yudu Cheng reveled in his future, but a hint of regret appeared on his face. “It’s a pity that only this otherworldly demon possesses ‘divine power’…”

Yudu Cheng had searched for other otherworldly demons, but although they all looked strange and similar, the difference in their power was greater than the difference between a human and a pig.

Humans and pigs were at least both living beings. The power possessed by different otherworldly demons could be worlds apart, all kinds of strange powers mixed together.

Yudu Cheng speculated that this Great Emperor level otherworldly demon must have been blessed by “God” to possess such power.

Just being related to “God” had allowed it to reach the Great Emperor Realm. If it was directly favored by “God”…

“But it doesn’t matter, after I rule the Great Thousand Worlds, I’ll have plenty of time to explore.”

Thinking of this, Yudu Cheng took out another piece of the otherworldly demon’s flesh and continued absorbing the “divine power.”

As time passed, Yudu Cheng’s body gradually adapted to the “divine power,” the absorption speed increasing, and his body and soul underwent an indescribable transformation, as if evolving towards some concept.

Countless illusory eyes appeared on his body as he closed his eyes, greedily peering at this world.

…

The sky was eternally dark, the ground eternally cruel.

Endless natural disasters ravaged the earth, extreme cold and scorching heat alternating, an eternal cycle.

In the dark of night, and under the scorching sun, only silent wails and cries could be heard.

“Is this… the world Master is in?”

Dugu Xue slowly opened her eyes, a dazed expression on her face.

Xue Ling stood silently beside her. Although Xue Ling was a puppet with some logical processing ability, it was still just a puppet and couldn’t answer Dugu Xue’s questions.

After receiving Luo Xue’s inheritance, Dugu Xue discovered some fragmented memories within.

Luo Xue didn’t have a jade slip for the inheritance. She had directly copied a portion of her own memories and given them to Dugu Xue.

But she hadn’t noticed that among these extracted memories were some fragmented pieces, depicting the post-apocalyptic world.

During this time, besides cultivating, Dugu Xue had been experiencing these fragmented memories, feeling the cruelty of another world.

As Dugu Di’s daughter, although Dugu Xue didn’t know much about her father’s affairs, she still knew some things she should know.

Such as her father’s true origins, and where her older siblings were.

The world said that the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty was prosperous, and the princes and princesses were all talented generals, but no one knew… where their battlefield was.

Dugu Xue knew. It was in the Primordial Chaos, her father’s home.

Their enemies weren’t just the otherworldly demons, but also other strange beings wandering in the Primordial Chaos.

There were many different worlds within the Primordial Chaos, most of them desolate, only a few with signs of civilization, but finding these civilizations was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

“Master’s hometown… should be in one of these civilizations, right?”

Everyone had their secrets, and Master was no exception. Dugu Xue considered this a little secret she had accidentally discovered and kept it to herself.

“Xue Ling…” Dugu Xue rested her chin on her hand, swinging her legs leisurely, and looked towards the entrance of the cave expectantly. “When do you think Master will be back?”

Dugu Xue had just asked casually, but unexpectedly, Xue Ling suddenly spoke.

“Ten.”

“Hmm?” Dugu Xue was stunned. “Xue Ling, did you just talk? Ten… you mean in ten days?”

“Nine.”

“Eh?”

“Eight.”

“Eh? Eh? Eh?”

Dugu Xue’s mind short-circuited, unable to comprehend, but Xue Ling’s countdown continued.

“…”

“Two.”

“One.”

“Hiss, did I come to the wrong place?” A familiar voice rang out, carrying a hint of doubt. “But I don’t remember this cave being so big…”

“Master!”

Dugu Xue stood up excitedly, but her weak body stumbled.

Xue Ling silently supported her, then teleported to Luo Xue.

Dugu Xue’s joyful expression froze.

She looked down at the black-haired girl, half a head shorter than her, and stammered,

“…Master?”

Is… is this really Master?

Her face seemed prettier than before, but Master clearly had long, silver hair… and wasn’t this short, right?

Putting aside the silver hair, Nangong’s appearance was indeed more beautiful than Luo Xue’s own.

“Little Dugu, long time no see.” Luo Xue reached out and touched Dugu Xue’s head, sighing with emotion. “It’s only been a few months, and you’ve grown so tall!”

The last time they met, Xue’er was even shorter than her.

Puberty was truly amazing.

“I… haven’t grown taller, have I?” Dugu Xue said uncertainly.

Even if she had grown, how could she have become so much taller in just a few months, now even half a head taller than Master?

“…”

Luo Xue was silent for a moment, then realized what was going on.

She discreetly lowered her hand and changed the subject.

“Little Dugu, how has your cultivation been going?”

“Following Master’s teachings, I’m about to reach Foundation Establishment.” Dugu Xue replied, then couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Master, why have you changed your appearance…”

“Oh right, I haven’t told you about that yet.”

Luo Xue thought for a moment, then decided that Dugu Xue, who had just embarked on the path of cultivation, probably wouldn’t understand her recent experiences, about the Great Dao and laws, so she simplified it.

“My body and soul are gone, I’m currently using a puppet as a vessel… My current appearance is that of the Nangong ancestor when she was young.”

“…Huh?”

This simplification backfired, leaving Dugu Xue dumbfounded.

“Master, you mean… you’re already dead?”

“Not dead, more like I can’t die even if I want to.” Luo Xue waved her hand. “Just my body and soul are gone, my consciousness still remains… it’s not a big deal.”

The Eternal Soul of Antiquity wasn’t a joke, it was just as dangerous as the Eternal Withering Body.

The danger was that the Eternal Soul of Antiquity was destined to be a wandering soul, no body could contain such a powerful soul.

Although immortal and indestructible, it could only exist as a soul, even having to avoid living beings because of the nature of the will of immortality, otherwise, it might cause a crisis similar to the immortal zombies in the Blood Sea Secret Realm.

The reason Luo Xue hadn’t experienced these problems yet was because of the special puppets Li Guijiao made… but these puppets were limited, and Luo Xue still needed to find a suitable vessel.

Dugu Xue didn’t know how to react after hearing this.

Sadness, or…

If even the annihilation of body and soul wasn’t a big deal, then nothing in this world was…

For Master to say this so casually, she must have experienced something terrifying, something she didn’t want her to know, right?

Something that could destroy both body and soul… just thinking about it was terrifying.

Although Dugu Xue was curious about Luo Xue’s recent experiences, she didn’t want to touch upon her Master’s pain, so she just nodded vigorously, tears in her eyes.

“I understand, Master… please take care.”

Luo Xue, seeing Dugu Xue’s teary-eyed expression, knew what she was thinking and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Her situation did sound terrifying, but Luo Xue had experienced this several times already. She was used to it.

After all, her consciousness remained, just a different soul and body, it wasn’t a big deal.

“Let’s not talk about me, come here, let me check your condition.”

Luo Xue took Dugu Xue’s hand and led her deeper into the cave.

Dugu Xue’s mind was filled with imagined scenarios of Master’s recent experiences, and combined with the world she had seen in the memory fragments, she felt like crying.

How much Master must have suffered…

Compared to Master, her own illness seemed insignificant.

“Take off your clothes.”

Luo Xue suddenly said.

“Ah… what?” Dugu Xue was stunned, her mind short-circuiting. “Mas-, Master, isn’t this a bit too fast… I’m not ready yet…”

“What’s there to be ready for, forget it, I’ll do it.”

Luo Xue said, puzzled, reaching out and undoing Dugu Xue’s clothes.

Her delicate, fair body was revealed, the snow-white little beauty left in just her undergarments, her hands and feet fidgeting nervously.

Why did Master suddenly… and Xue Ling was watching too, how embarrassing…

“Little Dugu, why is your body suddenly so warm? Did you cultivate incorrectly?”

Luo Xue looked up at Dugu Xue’s flushed face and frowned slightly.

An extremely Yin technique combined with an extremely Yin physique, could it be that… too much Yin turned into Yang?

She had never seen this before… This wasn’t like electrical charges, where negative and negative made a positive…

“No, I’m fine… the technique… is also fine…”

Dugu Xue closed her eyes, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s.

Luo Xue didn’t say anything more, perhaps it was just because she was weak.

“That’s good.”

Luo Xue nodded, placed her hand on Dugu Xue’s chest, covering her slightly budding breasts, feeling a soft spot.

“Tsk.”

Dugu Xue seemed to hear Master click her tongue and instantly tensed up.

“Master, what’s wrong…”

“Nothing, I just feel like… there’s one less kindred spirit in this world.”
