19: Love Letter, All Nine Meridians Open

Chu Yuehua returned to her palace, her usually placid mind now experiencing a rare tremor.

On the table, a letter she had transcribed from memory lay open!

It was the content of the first love letter Qin Wushang had written to her in their previous life, before he became a Devil Head, which she had transcribed after her Rebirth.

"The world bows to you, calling you Emperor Yue, comparing you to a cold jade on a mountain peak defying frost and snow, or a solitary, icy wheel suspended in the mid-heaven."

"When you lower your gaze, the golden halls and jade steps hold their breath; when you flick your sleeve, even time itself stills into frost for you."

"They all fear this cold, but I am captivated by it—for only the ice crystals at the peak of extreme cold can reflect the purest moonlight."

"They say your Heart is a snowfield that never melts, unmoved by any spring breeze."

"But I have seen your brow furrow slightly when your fingertips touch a memorial, and seen your eyes suddenly sharpen at an urgent war report!"

"That instant of burning heat is enough to set my desolate Soul ablaze."

"My Hua, all things in this world are willing to serve as your backdrop, but I am insatiably greedy; I wish to become the shadow reflected in your icy eyes."

"History will inscribe your great deeds with an iron brush, but I will only remember a certain late night, when you stood alone on the balcony, your robes fluttering like flowing moonlight..."

"Holding your hand, growing old together!"

"Even if the ice and snow remain silent all year, I am still captivated!"

Her fingertips traced the paper; those words, which she had once found childish and cloying, now felt as heavy as a thousand jun.

It was these love letters that caused the first crack in her frozen Heart when she watched Qin Wushang transform into the Devil Head and sacrifice all living beings with blood.

"Since the world despises me, abandons me, hates me, and no one gives me a glimmer of light, I will fulfill this world's desire—transforming into ultimate darkness!"

"Today, I ascend the peak of all Devils, using the flesh and blood of all beings as my steps, and myriad fears as my crown; from now on, you shall only kneel!"

His final words still echoed in her ears.

If, back then, I could have lowered my stance and given him a response, would the outcome have been different?

This thought, like a Heart Demon, had haunted her since her Rebirth.

"Jade feet, huh... In my previous life, I never had contact with him, he never approached me, yet he was obsessed with me... Was it also because of my jade feet?"

Her clear, cold eyes lowered slightly, looking at her own pair of immaculate jade feet.

"The books say some men like chests, some like faces, but I never thought you would like jade feet."

"What should I do?"

"And what is Heaven's will? Why did it make me return a thousand years ago? What exactly does it want me to do?"

"Does it want me to fall in love with him? And thereby change him? Or something else?"

Chu Yuehua's Heart was a little chaotic.

Just now, when she saw Qin Wushang blurt it out, his expression and gaze were genuine.

That guy's attention was truly on her jade feet from beginning to end.

"Never mind... I'll take it one step at a time!"

"The top priority now is the hé dào flower."

"In my previous life, I went to the Emperor Mountain tomb at this time, met that Demoness, and competed with her for the hé dào flower, narrowly losing to her by three moves..."

"In this life, I have been Reborn and know her many methods; I will definitely not lose to her again!"

"This Emperor must obtain the hé dào flower!"

As Chu Yuehua spoke, the surrounding temperature involuntarily dropped sharply.

A seductive figure appeared in her mind!

The Cult Master of the Nine Nether Sacred Cult!

Su Qingjue!

...Outside the wooden house, the morning mist had not yet dispersed.

The ice on Qin Wushang's body finally melted completely!

He immediately sat cross-legged on the open ground, stabilizing his mind as quickly as possible, and began to impact the Spiritual Apertures.

"The human body has nine Meridians, divided into three types: Heaven, Earth, and Human!"

"The three great Heaven Meridians: the Supervising Heaven Meridian, the Governing Earth Meridian, and the Rushing Void Meridian..."

"Open the first Aperture, the Purple Mansion Aperture!"

The Great Dao Scripture roared within his body, and his Qi and blood, which had long reached Perfection, instantly surged like a sleeping Dragon.

"Boom—!"

Vast and mighty Qi and blood power surged from his limbs and bones, no longer scattered airflow, but like river water impacting the Purple Mansion Aperture.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around him, drawn by the immense Qi and blood and the Great Dao Scripture, gathered frantically like a tidal wave.

"Crack!"

A crack appeared in the sealed Purple Mansion Aperture, instantly nourished by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, turning golden.

"Break!"

This was not a gentle probing, but a miracle born of brute force!

The terrifying Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi perfectly demonstrated violent aesthetics, easily breaking open the Purple Mansion Aperture, forming a vortex, and heading towards the Purple Yin Aperture.

If anyone saw this, they would definitely exclaim.

"Madman! You'll die doing that!"

After all, ordinary Cultivators opening Spiritual Apertures need to use their own Spiritual Qi like a trickling stream, carefully flushing the aperture walls, taking a long time to grind open one aperture.

But he just charged straight through!

Without any hesitation at all!

"Crack..."

Another faint sound, like shattering glass, came from within his body!

The Purple Yin Spiritual Aperture also opened!

Then came the Purple Yang Spiritual Aperture, the Purple Heaven Spiritual Aperture... In less than an hour, the Supervising Heaven Meridian was directly unblocked!

Next was the first Spiritual Aperture of the Governing Earth Meridian, the Earth Central Spiritual Aperture!

There was no surprise!

It was still a miracle born of brute force, directly piercing the Earth Central Aperture, instantly 貫通, without any obstruction!

As more and more Spiritual Apertures opened, Qin Wushang's pores expanded, and the Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth was drawn in, forming visible white airflow that surged madly into his body.

Earth Yin, Earth Yang, Earth Life, Jingqu, Taiyuan... "Crack! Crack! Crack!..."

The crisp sounds of the apertures opening continued incessantly, like jade beads falling onto a plate, clear and pleasant to the ear.

Each soft sound meant that a secret bodily treasure was opened, and his connection with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi became one point closer.

Before long, the dense Spiritual Qi was no longer an invisible airflow, but had formed a milky white vortex around him.

Time passed bit by bit, and the Spiritual Qi vortex not only did not weaken, but grew larger and larger, finally almost enveloping the entire Emperor Mountain peak!

Governing Earth Meridian, Rushing Void Meridian, Carrying Soul Meridian, Yang Heel Meridian... When the last Spiritual Aperture of the eighth Meridian was forcefully broken through, the Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth suddenly stagnated, and a drop of ancestral dragon essence blood emerged, emitting bursts of Dragon roars!

That was ancestral dragon essence blood!

Impacting the Spiritual Apertures of the ninth Meridian began to feel a little weak, and he had no choice but to use the ancestral dragon essence blood.

The ancestral dragon essence blood emitted an incredibly terrifying aura, transforming into a formidable energy.

Another day!

Qin Wushang suddenly opened his eyes, which seemed to contain the scenes of Chaos being created and the sun and moon rotating.

"Break!"

He let out a low roar, detonating all the power he had accumulated within his body, including the residual power of the ancestral dragon essence blood that had not been fully refined.

The terrifying power transformed into a final torrent that pierced Heaven and Earth, fiercely crashing into the last Spiritual Aperture.

"Rumble—!!!"

The sound of Nine Heavens thunder exploding came from within his body!

It broke open!

The thin membrane of the last Spiritual Aperture was directly and mercilessly punctured by him, and fresh red blood flowed out.

"Pfft!"

Fresh red blood also spilled from the corner of Qin Wushang's mouth.

His entire body glowed with brilliant blood-red light, and nine Spiritual Veins were like nine giant Dragons hidden within his body.

Nine-colored divine light shot up from the top of his head, intertwining with the Great Dao diagram above him, piercing through the clouds.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Suddenly, the sound of the Great Dao bell rang out across Heaven and Earth.
