428 I Am Definitely Not Wang Wu’s Dog (1/2)
”Hahaha, believe in Holy Light, heretic young lady of Nine Regions!”
This laughter was like a thunder in the spring, which caused Qiong Hua's mood, that had never been shaken for a really long time, to shake.
After the facial features of the youth vanished, suddenly, like a burning candle, his whole body began to melt. At the same time, the hill and their entire surrounding began to distort and deform. The grey smoke swirled from the horizon and quickly covered her vision. In the area nearest to her, the flowers appeared withered under the contamination of the grey smoke.
Everything outside and inside the Jade Mansion was exactly the same. It was as if the breakthrough by the combined primordial spirit and flying sword didn't play any role. She was still trapped in the cage of Jade Mansion.
Within the cage, the laughter of Faceless One resounded again and again like ghost, sometimes it came from afar, but sometimes it was near. However, the light that shone from the sky appeared more majestic, which attracted all the flowers so that they all looked up towards the light. The light nourished all things, and all things believed in Holy Light. This mysterious transformation between life and death incessantly emitted a fantastic charm against cultivator. The more one's perception transcended the worldliness, the more the feeling became difficult to control. However, as long as the longing for immortality was slightly shaken, one would immediately be attracted by that light.
… What a powerful illusion! Qiong Hua inwardly exclaimed in surprise.
Everything that appeared before her tried their best to shake her immortal heart. As long as her immortal heart was broken, she would immediately fall into the devil's hand.
Even though the devil from Western Continent had been weakened for a long time because of the seal suppression, but before he was sealed, he was probably one of the strongest players on Western Continent. His strength utilization and mastery of human heart had reached such a high degree of proficiency. Although she was the best cultivator among her peers, in front of this Western Continent devil, she was but a young child. Every action and every movement of her were completely under his grasp. This was really a desperate battle with a slim winning chance.
However, the more desperate it was, the calmer Qiong Hua was. She took a deep breath and then operated her primordial spirit to seal all of her five senses.
The opponent's illusion was too strong. Under the effect of the illusion, she had no way to tell whether her surrounding was true or false. Under such circumstances, the five senses would only become a drag. However, as a cultivator, she had the ability to perceive beyond the five senses and not be confused.
Back inside the Jade Mansion, although the diamond-like dazzling immortal heart was still wrapped by the holy light, it still stubbornly released its own light, symbolizing the perseverance of Qiong Hua that would never admit defeat. Immediately, the young woman began to shake her Jade Mansion. Her golden core and primordial spirit began to displace, fusing with her immortal heart.
As the trinity gradually formed, the illusion outside the Jade Mansion began to collapse.
The most persevering and tenacious immortal heart in the world that could accommodate the arrival of primordial spirit and golden core, the best golden core that could operate independently within the immortal heart without stagnation, and the purest primordial spirit that could be freely accommodated inside the immortal heart without being contaminated—this trio formed the most powerful combination.
With the unprecedentedly high degree of synergy of Qiong Hua's method, dao, and heart, the unrest brought about by the flesh had been entirely eliminated, and the distracting thoughts within her primordial spirit disappeared without a trace. In Qiong Hua's heart, only the tireless pursuit of immortal path that was left. Therefore, it became difficult for the all kinds of methods of Faceless One to confuse Qiong Hua. The illusion outside the Jade Mansion seemed like a tree without the root as it gradually withered away.
Qiong Hua retreated in order to advance, using defense as an offense. With the trinity way, she achieved an unprecedented self-purification. And along with the increasingly dazzling immortal heart, Faceless One's laughter gradually died down.

”Poof!”
Amidst the grey smoke, a young man in red and white robe seemed to be hit by a heavy blow and involuntarily spewed out blood. Among the blood that spray, there was a bit of diamond-like sparkle, which looked so beautiful. However, for the person who spat out that blood, it was actually highly poisonous.
After spewing that mouthful of blood, Wang Lu suddenly issued a contemptuous sneer.
”Faceless, can you f*cking do it or not? An imposing quasi-Holy One can't even deal with a Jindan Stage young woman, are you being deliberate?”
His voice had just fallen when his expression suddenly changed, becoming stiff and empty. Through his mouth, he said, ”What you say really makes people disappointed you know. She even used the trinity. Her immortal heart's radiance can even directly shine into the opposite side's immortal heart, just like a poisonous attack. Even your Non-Phase Sword can't block it, what do you think I can do? Even if I am a true Holy One, relying on your body's negligible magical power, how could I come up with even more tricks? Not only its nature is at odds with me, its amount is also less… By the way, do you have any interest in believing the Holy Light? If you are willing to convert to Holy Light, and then transform your whole magical power and primordial spirit into a type of Holy Light, perhaps I might be able to do something about it.”
Wang Lu's face showed a vigilant look. ”... If I hadn't known that you had been taught by my Master to be a loyal dog, I would've flushed you along with this suggestion right away.”
Then his expression became cold again, but the voice was still vivid in its rhythmic change. ”Those are not the appropriate words. I have not been trained by anyone, but instead was awakened from the heart, and I realized that it is my true mission. And for my mission, I can put down the so-called enmity. Moreover, as the most faithful executor of the Holy Light, there's no personal enmity to be made in the first place.”
”... Your so-called mission is to serve my Master?”
”Correct, my existence, my everything, all are in order to carry out her will. You are her disciple, and since she handed me to you, naturally I will give you a helping hand at the crucial time. So, at this moment, I will do my best to help you.”
”... I now really want to know what my Master has really done to you.”
”She showed me the truth.”
”Oh? Is her truth something along the line of D cup?”
”Wang Lu, although I understand the close relationship between you and her, but in front of me, you best put away your disrespectful behavior toward her. Otherwise, I'll let you deeply appreciate the price of blasphemy.”
”Come on, I've been with her in a Master-disciple relationship for years, so I've already touched her more than once.”
