The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 25: Seven Days of Pain

Breaking the Infant Soul.

Lu Ye successfully broke through to form his infant soul and returned to Bai Lan Peak of the Grand Dao Sect, immediately entering seclusion.

It seemed like he was fine.

In reality...

Lu Ye grinned, and the pain he felt was indescribably satisfying.

However, in his current state, the sensory amplification brought on by the Yuan Shi Morning Mist was not as unbearable as the pain he had experienced from the chaotic Yin Poison before.

He could endure it.

He wouldn't die.

Lu Ye sat cross-legged by himself, his muscles trembling and twisting.

Chu Ling sat at the entrance of Lu Ye's room, guarding him, though it didn't really help.

Yue Hongling woke up.

First, she was confused, then suddenly jolted awake and sat up on the bed.

"Master, how is Senior Brother?" Yue Hongling asked urgently.

Bai Qiulan's voice was gentle. "Hongling, don't worry too much, he's fine now."

"Has seven days passed?"

"It’s only been a little over a day, not seven days yet."

"That’s not right!" Yue Hongling’s face turned pale.

"The Yuan Shi Morning Mist lasts at least seven days to dissipate. This means that the sensory amplification would last for seven days."

Sun Ruowei quietly stepped back, straining her ears to listen closely.

"Seven days? The pain existed when he broke through his core to form his infant soul, but now that the breakthrough has succeeded, there should be no more pain. So, what’s the problem with it lasting seven days?" Bai Qiulan asked, confused.

"Yuan Shi Morning Mist is extremely domineering. Even without any pain, the place it affects still brings intense agony. A single breath feels like lava flowing through your throat; every practice session feels like thousands of needles piercing your body; even a breeze feels like skin being peeled off."

"Master, think about it. There are only a few poisons in the world that can affect Senior Brother. How could it be so simple?"

Bai Qiulan fell silent.

Indeed, there were very few things that could affect Lu Ye, who was at the Heavenly Sovereign stage.

"But, your Senior Brother really seems unaffected," Bai Qiulan said.

Yue Hongling frowned deeply.

Why is this happening?

"Master, does Senior Brother often endure pain?" Yue Hongling asked.

"How could he? He’s that strong, who could bring him pain?"

Bai Qiulan’s first thought was that it was impossible.

Lu Ye was invincible in his lifetime, fighting against the heavens and the earth, with countless powerful figures kneeling at his feet.

Even the most intense battles wouldn't make Lu Ye feel extreme pain.

"Then why is he able to bear it?" Yue Hongling asked, her voice tinged with panic.

"Isn’t that a good thing? Since he can endure such pain, that’s a good thing!"

At least, it wasn’t Yue Hongling who killed Lu Ye.

She now saw things clearly. Yue Hongling had probably already fallen deeply in love with Lu Ye.

Before her rebirth, she had been unable to forget Feng Wuxie, but now, after being reborn, she hardly ever mentioned Feng Wuxie. Her heart and mind were completely filled with Lu Ye.

Bai Qiulan dared not imagine what would happen if Lu Ye really died because of Yue Hongling. The pain Yue Hongling would feel would be unimaginable.

"Senior Brother is really fine?"

"Really fine!"

Yue Hongling hurriedly stood up. "No, I need to guard Senior Brother!"

Yue Hongling ran to Lu Ye’s door, and Chu Ling glanced up at her. Then Yue Hongling sat down next to Chu Ling.

Chu Ling???

"I’ll guard Senior Brother with you."

Chu Ling...

Bai Qiulan watched the two foolish girls and couldn’t help but shake her head helplessly.

It’s over. Yue Hongling is completely done for.

Sun Ruowei’s eyes sparkled as she stared at the back of Bai Qiulan’s head. What had she just heard?

There were only a few poisons that could affect Lu Ye?

Lu Ye was so strong—who could bring him pain?

Wait, didn’t Lu Ye just break through to the Infant Soul stage? Why does it sound like from what you two are saying, Lu Ye is at least at the Dao Integration stage now?

What exactly is going on?

Bai Qiulan felt the scorching gaze on the back of her head and couldn’t help but rub her brow.

Her figure instantly disappeared.

"Hey, don’t run!"

Sun Ruowei’s figure also vanished.

Clearly, she couldn’t catch up with Bai Qiulan.

Bai Qiulan circled around, shaking off Sun Ruowei, and arrived at a spot.

She didn’t even have a strong sense of awareness, and in this strange manner, she ended up in the place where Lu Ye used to love cultivating the most.

The green mountains looked like dark ink, and the trees were lush and shaded.

Bai Qiulan didn’t care about propriety, sitting on the ground, her white dress spread out.

She quietly gazed at the world around her.

In her mind, Yue Hongling’s question kept echoing.

"Master, does Senior Brother often endure pain?"

Her answer had always been impossible.

But...

Now, Bai Qiulan suddenly realized.

Lu Ye had endured pain too. Before he had obtained the Taiyin Transformation Scripture, Lu Ye could only use Yin-Yang techniques to help her shift the pain.

But to whom was the pain shifted?

It was obvious.

Sometimes, when Lu Ye couldn’t bear the pain, he would become exceptionally violent, and Bai Qiulan couldn’t handle it at all.

She was conflicted, feeling both resistance and tenderness, along with a sense of deep compassion.

During that period, Lu Ye indeed endured a lot of pain, because every time, Lu Ye would take the chaotic Yin Poison away, and she really didn’t know just how much pain the chaotic Yin Poison could cause.

Could it be...?

No, if it were real pain, why would Lu Ye start to enjoy it?

Every time, he would actively come to find her.

No, it couldn’t be because of the chaotic Yin Poison.

The more Bai Qiulan thought about it, the more uneasy she became, so she decided not to think about it anymore. She forced herself to calm down, letting the mountain breeze blow over her as she began to meditate.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Not only had Lu Ye endured the Yuan Shi Morning Mist, but his Yuan Infant now had a misty trace on it.

Yes, he had refined the Yuan Shi Morning Mist into his Yuan Infant. Although it was a small amount, using it against an opponent, one could only imagine what would happen.

Indeed, this would give him an extra method in the early stages.

In the later stages, if he went to the Yuan Shi Mist Sky and directly collected the Yuan Shi Mist Sky, he would still have another method for later.

Having never personally tried it, Lu Ye didn’t know how effective the Yuan Shi Morning Mist was.

He gently made a small cut on his arm, and the pain was ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ so intense it nearly shattered his soul.

After these seven days, he felt as though he had been reborn.

He glanced at his Yuan Infant.

It was just a little version of himself, vivid and lifelike. Considering its authenticity and its size, it was evident that this was a Saint Infant.

Saint • Giant Infant!

He had cultivated to this point, breaking through to the Infant Soul stage, and if he kept going, he would soon leave Yue Hongling and Chu Ling behind. By then, they would be on entirely different levels. He couldn’t wait to see whether they would feel desperate or not.

Speaking of which, Lu Ye had reached this level in one go without any actual trials.

The key was, there was nothing left to trial!

If he needed mental fortitude, he didn’t lack it. If he needed the Great Dao, he didn’t lack that either. Any treasures—if they were unclaimed—he could rush in and take them in the morning and return in the afternoon.

And along the way, he could even help improve formations for previous owners.

In such a situation, what was left to practice?

Suddenly, Lu Ye sensed a slight disturbance.

He froze, a smile appearing on his face.

Master, has your chaotic Yin Poison begun to show again?

The Taiyin Transformation Scripture could indeed dispel the chaotic Yin Poison, but the transformed chaotic Yin had to have somewhere to pour out.

Otherwise, if it just stayed inside your body, and you were transforming it here while it condensed over there, what would be the effect?
