How could this be?
Before you activated the formation, I specifically tested it, and everything seemed fine.
Upon hearing Su Chen's description, Lu Wuyai frowned immediately.
"Could it be that she's avoiding you?"
"Avoiding me?"
Su Chen was stunned. Why could others find her so easily, but when Su Chen arrived, He Xingyao chose to hide instead?
"I can't think of any other possibility besides this."
Could she harbor some resentment towards you subconsciously?
Lu Wuyai's words immediately made Su Chen realize what was going on.
His actions back then would have been a huge blow to anyone who had done it.
Even if He Xingyao didn't say it, she probably harbored some resentment in her heart.
"Let me try again."
Su Chen pondered for a moment, then focused his attention once again on the crystal coffin.
This time, after entering He Xingyao's body, Su Chen did not search blindly, but instead looked for things related to himself from back then.
The entire process was very thorough for Su Chen, and it also seemed particularly long.
By the time Su Chen found He Xingyao, a considerable amount of time had passed.
"So you are here."
Su Chen looked at the scene before her, which was exactly the scene from when she first met Dao Sheng. It was a scene that He Xingyao had constructed in her mind.
“Come with me. The area around us is collapsing. Staying here won’t do you any good.”
Su Chen reached out his hand to He Xingyao, but she seemed not to see it at all and ignored him.
“I know this place is important to you, but if you continue to sink into despair, I can’t save you.”
As Su Chen spoke, he tried to forcibly take He Xingyao away from the place.
But when he actually made his move, he discovered that his soul power was completely unable to move He Xingyao even an inch.
He Xingyao seemed to be connected to the surrounding space; to move her, one would have to take everything around her with her.
For Su Chen, this was something that was simply impossible to accomplish.
Unless He Xingyao can actively sever the connection, Su Chen has no way to intervene with his current strength.
"How about this, I'll stay here with you, and we'll leave together whenever you're ready to go?"
Su Chen asked He Xingyao, who remained completely still, and then gently enveloped her with his soul power.
He Xingyao now seems more like a puppet, all show and no substance.
Only by gradually bringing her back to her senses can she slowly make He Xingyao recognize her.
Su Chen dared not slack off in the slightest and tried every possible way to reconstruct the events from his memory, one by one.
What Su Chen didn't expect was that the harder he tried, the faster the surrounding space collapsed.
These were all built with the power of the soul, and their collapse also meant that He Xingyao's condition was deteriorating rapidly.
Su Chen was extremely anxious, but he couldn't find any solution.
His only gamble was to open the crystal coffin directly and use his soul power to forcibly take He Xingyao away.
But that would also present a problem.
The crystal coffin protected the fragile He Xingyao.
Once he opens the crystal coffin, Su Chen cannot be sure whether He Xingyao will perish first or he will take her away first.
This step is a last resort.
Su Chen is also trying to use the power of others to awaken He Xingyao.
However, the result seemed to be the same: He Xingyao remained like a puppet, unresponsive to anyone.
"Is there really nothing we can do?"
Su Chen looked helplessly at He Xingyao in front of him.
The surrounding landscape has collapsed, about half of it.
In his opinion, this was the limit for opening the coffin.
Whether or not to open the coffin will be the last chance.
Even if Su Chen opens the crystal coffin and successfully rescues He Xingyao, he will still face the situation of He Xingyao being extremely weak.
The slightest mistake could cause He Xingyao's soul to dissipate.
Once you reach that point, even a god can't save you.
"Even if I had to do it all over again, I would still make the same choice."
Even if you resent me, I will not change.
Even if you want to vent, you need to be clear-headed first.
Su Chen gritted his teeth. He had already reached his limit here. If he didn't open the crystal coffin soon, he wouldn't even have a last chance.
"do not blame me."
"I...don't blame you."
Is Chapter 165 about one person?
As the faint sound came, Su Chen froze.
He Xingyao, whose eyes had been lifeless, seemed to have regained her senses at this moment.
She was staring intently at Su Chen in front of her.
"You... are different now."
He Xingyao stared intently at Su Chen with her bright, watery eyes.
Although the appearance has changed, the soul remains familiar.
For those who cultivate themselves, appearance is not that important.
What truly determines a person is their soul.
"I can explain this."
Su Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Once He Xingyao woke up, the rest would be much easier.
"Forget it. I don't want to hear it."
He Xingyao shook her head. As a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of her cultivation, how could she not understand why Daosheng made that choice back then?
What she truly didn't want to recall was that Daosheng and her father joined forces without anyone informing her.
Even though He Xingyao knew in her heart that once she knew the inside story, the ending might be completely different.
But she is still very sad about what happened back then.
"Does your presence here mean there's still a sliver of hope that Father is with the elders?"
He Xingyao's memory is still stuck in the past, when she sealed herself in the crystal coffin, and she is unaware of the changes outside.
"Let's talk about this later."
Su Chen hesitated for a moment and did not tell He Xingyao the truth.
Her soul is currently extremely weak and not well-suited to contact with such things. If she is further agitated, it will likely require a significant amount of time and resources to repair it bit by bit.
"It seems that it's quite different from what I imagined?"
You can tell me the truth; I'm not as fragile as you think.
He Xingyao stared at Su Chen in front of her.
Daosheng was a prodigy back then. In just a few years, he completed a journey that others could not finish in a lifetime.
No sect in the entire world dared to disobey Daosheng.
In fact, the methods he possesses far surpass those of others.
Even secret techniques can be mastered in a very short time.
Now that Daosheng has appeared before her, is it impossible for her to replicate the path Daosheng once walked?
"Are you sure you want to listen?"
Su Chen thought for a moment, then asked.
He Xingyao was probably already mentally prepared, and could deduce the outcome from her own reaction.
Whether she kept it a secret or not made little difference to He Xingyao.
Su Chen originally thought that if he told He Xingyao everything now that she had just regained consciousness, it might hurt her a lot.
But now it seems that telling her the whole truth might have led to a better outcome.
"Of course I'm sure."
Whatever the outcome, I can accept it.
With He Xingyao's affirmative answer, Su Chen slightly organized his words and gave a general account of how He Xingyao sealed herself behind the crystal coffin.
Su Chen also carefully explained his condition to He Xingyao.
His reincarnation was different from that of a normal one. After the previous struggle over memories, Su Chen's soul remained in the most important position.
For Su Chen, the memories and personalities of other people are merely supplements, or tools.
While providing him with various means, it will not affect Su Chen's judgment.
Perhaps some aspects of these people's personalities will have some influence on Su Chen, but they will never be able to shake Su Chen's true core.
He has always been himself.
