659: Two similar flowers

Upon hearing the words "Red-haired Monster," Yun Shengxue's face immediately changed drastically.

Breaking through and forcibly entering the newly born imaginary space within the Guixu resulted in being tainted by ominousness.

The most common form of ominousness was a constant chill surrounding one's body, occasionally encountering vengeful spirits seeking retribution.

This kind of ominousness was the easiest to resolve; as long as one endured for a certain period, the ominousness would automatically disappear.

Above that was her current state: first, red hair grew on her body, then her teeth sharpened into fangs, granting her greatly increased strength and invulnerability, but also causing her to become muddled and turn into a monster that only knew how to kill.

Legend has it that a powerful Immortal Realm Cultivator became a Red-haired Monster, slaughtering an entire domain of Guixu.

Yun Shengxue didn't know if it was true or false; she only knew that she was in big trouble.

'In the Netherworld Domain, how long did those people last after being tainted by ominousness and growing red hair?'

'A few decades at the shortest, a few millennia at the longest?'

In her panic, the red hair that had grown all over Yun Shengxue's body receded, leaving only a few strands of flame-like red hair swaying in the wind between her eyebrows.

Touching the red hair between her eyebrows, a bitter smile appeared on Yun Shengxue's face again.

"Red hair it is then. At least I still have a few decades to live."

"It's better than being directly captured by those guys from the Black Dragon Clan."

But thinking about the fate after completely becoming a Red-haired Monster, she couldn't help but feel sorrow welling up in her heart.

What was the fate after completely becoming a Red-haired Monster?

After killing a certain number of living beings and accumulating enough blood resentment, they would be captured by powerful Immortal Realm Cultivators and refined into a Blood Resentment Pill.

Their bodies would perish, their Dao would vanish, and their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, unable to even Reincarnation.

'Forget it, at least living for a few more decades or centuries is a gain.'

'First, I'll take the trump card given by the big shot back to the clan.'

'Using my life to buy the Ling Yuan World two chances to escape from desperate situations and one chance to perish together with the enemy isn't a loss.'

No sooner had the thought crossed her mind than Yun Shengxue turned her head to look around at the oddly shaped 'people' who were encircling her from a distance, gesticulating and pointing, and she still couldn't help but feel sorrow welling up in her heart.

'But I'm only 18, I don't want to die yet~'

'I haven't even seen the Ling Yuan World return to the present world.'

Stomping her foot somewhat in collapse, she took another deep breath, identified the direction, and prepared to fly towards the Ling Yuan World.

However, just as she gathered her Qi, a voice with a hint of a smile suddenly sounded in her heart.

"You are quite interesting."

"Afraid of death, yet able to face it calmly."

"Before death, you don't think of yourself, but rather worry about what will happen to the Ling Yuan World after you die."

"You are also a..."

At this point, the voice in her heart suddenly deepened.

"You are indeed a figure."

At first, Yun Shengxue was startled to hear the voice in her heart.

But recognizing the gentle meaning contained within the voice, and realizing the familiar tone after a moment, joy welled up in her heart:

"Big shot, are you by my side? Do you have a way to help me purify the ominousness on me?"

"As long as you help me purify the ominousness on me, I will serve you as a beast of burden in this life, let alone the next."

As she spoke, her voice became a little shy:

"It's not impossible if you want me to pledge myself to you."

In the distance, someone who heard Yun Shengxue suddenly say these words couldn't help but laugh:

"Has she encountered ominousness and gone insane? She's even fantasizing about a powerful Cultivator coming to her rescue. What is ominousness? It's something even Immortal Realm Cultivators only dare to approach after it has fully erupted!"

"Brother, you're bold. You dare to say she's insane in front of a Red-haired Monster. Aren't you afraid she'll slaughter your clan's living beings to accumulate blood resentment before she completely turns into a Red-haired Monster near your clan's territory?"

"Brother, aren't you also calling her a Red-haired Monster?"

"I'm not like you. After falling into the Guixu, I personally protected my clansmen in my stomach, thoroughly safeguarding them."

"Great minds think alike! My clansmen willingly became Spirit Pill Materials, helping me advance my strength by leaps and bounds."

"Oh? Could Your Excellency be the legendary Refiner Demonic Path, Kui Ti?"

"That would be me. Your Excellency is the Heaven-Swallowing, Earth-Devouring Wei Shang?"

"That would be me!"

"I've long admired you."

"A pleasure to meet you..."

Yang Dian, whose Divine Thought was attached to a strand of Yun Shengxue's hair, heard the whispers from a distance and couldn't help but feel that it was only natural.

Humans are born evil.

Especially in a place like Guixu, where resources are scarce and diminish with every use, people like Kui Ti and Wei Shang should be the vast majority.

People like Yun Shengxue, who still think of their relatives and realm even when facing death, are a minority.

It is precisely for this reason that the existence of Yun Shengxue is particularly precious.

'What's more, Yun Shengxue possesses the potential of a hero!'

Were the martyrs afraid before they died in battle?

To say they weren't afraid is impossible.

It was only because of their inner faith that they became fearless.

The martyrs' faith was Huaxia, it was the restoration of the mountains and rivers.

Yun Shengxue's faith was the Ling Yuan World, and her relatives and friends within the Ling Yuan World.

The two are extremely similar, like flowers growing in different regions but remarkably alike.

Their familiar appearance made Yang Dian instinctively develop a strong liking for her.

So, if it was within his power, he would still be willing to help her.

Unfortunately... ominousness was not within his capabilities.

Carefully sensing the red hair ominousness that grew from Yun Shengxue's glabella, or rather from the depths of her Soul, and was closely connected to the Guixu, Yang Dian sighed slightly:

"If I could, helping you wouldn't be impossible."

"But the ominousness on you is somewhat strange, and I currently don't have the confidence to eradicate it."

Not only did he not have the confidence to eradicate it?

Just seeing the red hair made Yang Dian's spiritual sense tighten.

It was as if once he acted against the red hair, some indescribable great calamity would arise.

After he spoke, feeling Yun Shengxue's emotions plummet, Yang Dian continued:

"Of course, not being able to now doesn't mean not being able to in the future."

"Live well."

"When my strength is sufficient, as long as you are still alive, I will help you remove the ominous curse."

All problems that arise in the world are merely due to strength.

As long as one's strength is sufficient, then problems will no longer be problems.

If he had the strength to shatter the Guixu with a single punch, would the so-called ominousness still dare to approach?

Don't be ridiculous.

By then, this ominousness would probably be running away from him.

Hearing Yang Dian's comfort, Yun Shengxue revealed a smile uglier than crying:

"Then my latter half of life is in your hands, big shot."

Yang Dian shook his head and didn't reply, simply using Yun Shengxue's perception to look around.

'Is this what the true Guixu is like?'

The entire world was obscured by colorful mist; ordinary people entering the Guixu would have a visible range of no more than 10 meters.

No sky above, no bottom below, no sense of direction, and no life existed except for Cultivators.

The entire world was silent.

'No wonder Yun Shengxue and the others call it the Guixu.'

'That name is absolutely correct.'
