Demon Sword Immortal

Even if Bai Zhuqing had entered the Dao, he hadn't yet begun to cultivate his mind and body, so it was impossible for him to be performing at his current level.

Don't be fooled by how easily Bai Zhuqing seems to control her, as if she were a chick. If Bai Zhuqing were taken back to fight Jiang Haojing, who came to cause trouble back then, she would definitely be one punch each, and Jiang Haojing might even be killed by the shockwave.

Control over one's strength.

The application of vibrating force.

Bai Zhuqing has done everything within the limits of what her current body can do.

Is it because we're naturally compatible...?

He pondered to himself.

Even before Bai Zhuqing entered the Dao, she showed a special affinity for the original Divine Cry Sword. At that time, Bai Xiang had some doubts about whether this younger sister had 'demon blood manifesting'.

The so-called 'manifestation of demonic blood' refers to the fact that as human cultivators' cultivation level gradually increases, their bodies will also be affected by demonic power.

This influence is different from the 'tainting' of demon cultivators; it is passive, cumulative, and subtle.

If the demonic power poured into a demon cultivator's body during the "contamination" process is like a mighty river, then the demonic power that contaminates a human cultivator is equivalent to a drop of water, a very small amount.

But what's amazing is that even this small amount of water can produce strange phenomena such as 'reversion of demonic blood' and 'manifestation of demonic blood'.

These contents are recorded in some of the scriptures stored by the Bai family.

Bai Xiang held his sister down while recalling the contents of those memories, feeling that this was the only possibility.

It's even possible that atavism and spiritual manifestation occurred simultaneously; otherwise, it's impossible to explain why Bai Zhuqing lost herself in the state of returning to her innate nature.

Losing oneself is a regression to one's ancestral nature.

Increased control is a manifestation of divine intervention.

The combination of these two factors actually helped Bai Zhuqing achieve a subtle balance.

If you understand it, you can break through it.

Then I don't know.

This is similar to the Taoist Five Dragons Method, a mysterious realm that is 'metaphysical' and 'difficult to understand'.

This cannot continue.

As time went on, Bai Xiang's expression became serious.

Ordinary people can only experience the "return to the innate state" for a few seconds or a dozen seconds at most when they enter the Dao, but Bai Zhuqing has maintained it for almost two minutes.

Indeed, 'Returning to the Primordial State' is a realm that the Buddhist, Taoist, and Sword sects all dream of, and it even involves reincarnation and the mysteries of the womb.

But if you stay in this state for too long after you've just started, it could be fatal.

Because energy cannot be created out of thin air.

Bai Xiang only experienced the "Return to the Primordial State" for a dozen seconds after entering the Dao. These dozen seconds consumed a lot of her physical energy, which is why she ate so much beef and noodles after fighting with Zhou Ji and his group. Her body needed to replenish its energy.

Historically, some people have stumbled upon a state of 'returning to one's original nature' and remained immersed in it for a long time. Almost all of them had their essence and blood drained away by their spirits and died on the spot with blissful smiles.

The thought that Bai Zhuqing might also have her life essence drained by an unconscious soul, turning her into a skin-and-bones skeleton and dying, made Bai Xiang's heart suddenly feel as if someone had squeezed it tightly.

She had this feeling before when she left the Shinmei Dojo, but it wasn't as strong.

Because at that time I wasn't sure she would die.

Staring at her sister's contorted face in the darkness, Bai Xiang's mind was filled with images.

Among them was Bai Zhuqing, who was dressed in a pure white ancient dress and asked her a question.

Two people were arguing about right and wrong in the street.

Even more so in daily life, the scenes always feature this little tagalong, always sticking behind her, calling her "Sister Xiang'er" and "Auntie" repeatedly. Even when she's practicing swordsmanship, she'll be holding a Buddhist scripture and reading it beside her.

Is it the effect of fused memories?

Or have I just gotten used to it?

After a brief hesitation, Bai came to his senses.

The first thing she did was immediately take a small strip of medicine from her pants pocket, pluck it out, and stuff it into Bai Zhuqing's mouth.

Nourishing and calming tablets.

She kept some of the nourishing medicine that even Qi-transforming cultivators could benefit from; it should be enough to replenish her energy for the time being.

However, Bai Zhuqing remained trapped in the control of her 'atavistic consciousness' and refused to take the medicine.

After thinking for a moment, Bai stepped forward, used his weight to press her down, and used his free hand to pry open her lips and teeth, but her tongue kept pushing against him, and the medicine couldn't be taken in.

In this urgent situation, Bai Xiang simply put the medicine in his own mouth and used a very special feeding technique to pass the pills to his sister.

"Gurgle...!?"

Bai Zhuqing's consciousness remained hazy; she had no idea what had happened. Bai Xiang had to proceed with extreme caution, exploring techniques to avoid harming her in the process.

Finally, Bai Zhuqing swallowed the pill.

Bai Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up, summoned his divine soul, and used the energy he had been channeling into Bai Zhuqing's body to explore the pathways of her heart meridian.

Her thinking was clear: since Bai Zhuqing was currently being controlled by the instincts triggered by the demon blood, and was constantly prolonging her 'return to the innate state' under the control of these instincts, then to awaken her, she first needed to strengthen her seed of the mind.

The mind's image is the true self!

The most powerful mental manipulation technique she possesses is Qi transformation!

It's a bit risky, but I have no other choice now.

She began to try a high-pressure operation: while using her energy to probe her sister's heart meridian in real time and sketching it out on her spiritual landscape as a reference; at the same time, she calculated the cyclical modification of this heart meridian diagram in her mind.

But how exactly should it be implemented...?

The reason I can play like this is because I have supernatural abilities that allow me to forcibly reverse the rules of reality that apply to my 'own'.

Bai Zhuqing's body is not within the scope of 'self'.

Supernatural abilities cannot enter.

My mind is scattered, and I try my best to suppress these distracting thoughts.

Noticing that Bai Zhuqing's cheeks were somewhat sunken, she quickly took another pill and fed it to her sister through her mouth.

This continued until the third time, when Bai Xiang suddenly felt something was wrong.

When feeding her medicine, Bai Zhuqing would unconsciously hug her tightly, their tongues intertwining. At this time, Bai Xiang's mind would also enter a dazed and unconscious state, making her body feel hot, as if blood was rushing to her brain.

"Gu... Missing Sister..."

Bai Zhuqing squinted and murmured.

The next moment, she completely changed in Bai Xiang's eyes.

If feeding Bai Zhuqing medicine before was similar to Bai wanting to visit someone's home and exchanging pleasantries with the host at the entrance, then it was like Bai wanting to visit someone's home.

Now, she felt that there was nothing blocking her way anymore.

Bai Zhuqing completely opened herself up to her, revealing her heart, her mind, and even her soul to Bai Xiang.

A mysterious state descended in an instant. Bai Xiang's doubts lasted only a moment before he immediately began to mobilize his spiritual abilities, attempting to enter Bai Zhuqing's... sister's body.

She estimated that she might be the first person to do and discover these wonderful features.

With the combination of 'returning to one's original nature' and 'unconsciousness', the body can become a blank slate, like an unclaimed object that can naturally fit with anyone, and even supernatural abilities can enter!

She had no doubt that she could take the opportunity to control her sister's mind with her soul, erase her consciousness, and refine her entire being into an avatar.

But Bai would obviously not do that.

She seized the time, remained calm, and quickly experimented on the soul diagram. Finally, she found a working heart meridian circulation diagram and immediately began to modify Bai Zhuqing.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Zhuqing awoke quietly in the darkness.

Although it was pitch black, for some reason, she was able to see the outlines of many tables and chairs after opening her eyes.

"Sister Xiang'er...Auntie?"

With a hoarse voice, Bai Zhuqing sat up and saw a slender, dark figure sitting at the opposite table.

She recognized Bai Xiang's figure and confirmed it was her, then asked疑惑地问道, "What did Auntie do to me? I feel a little..."

My body feels so strange.

Why is my skin, muscles, and bones all itchy... Doesn't that mean they're all being cared for at the same time?

"The demonic blood within you has reverted to its ancestral form and manifested itself," Bai interrupted her.

“Your ‘true self’ is suppressed by your ‘primal consciousness’. In order to save you, I have to change your method. You are now walking the path I created.”

Bai Xiang's mindset was somewhat complicated as he spoke.

She didn't care about the effort she put into helping her sister, nor did she care if her sister knew that she had created a new method.

What she cared about was that, after this rescue, she was certain that Bai Zhuqing held a special place in her heart.

To be honest, she still doesn't understand what happened.

why.

Could those repeated calls of "Auntie" really be just a result of habit?

"Original!"

Bai Zhuqing clearly didn't understand how shocking this matter was, and was simply happy: "Then I'll be following the same path as my aunt from now on?"

"Yes."

"Is it different from other forms of swordsmanship?"

"Yes."

"From now on, only my aunt can teach me?"

"……Yes."

"So, Auntie can never abandon me again?"

"If you don't listen," Bai Xiang narrowed his eyes, "I won't teach you the subsequent techniques."

"Auntie will definitely be reluctant to part with it!"

Bai Zhuqing was overjoyed to have successfully entered the Daoist path and was filled with surprise. Ignoring her own sweat, she went to Bai Xiang and began massaging her legs and back.

"Aunt~"

"Hehe~"

"Aunt~!"

Bai wanted to ignore her, but she clung to her like glue, calling out to her sweeter and sweeter with each call, and occasionally giggling foolishly.

Suddenly, Bai Zhuqing saw Bai Xiang's feet dangling in the darkness.

“My aunt was walking barefoot before, so her feet must have been dirty.”

As she spoke, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed Bai Xiang's feet, rubbing and scraping the soles and arches of her feet with her fingers.

Bai Zhuqing could swear that she wasn't thinking of anything else at that moment; she was simply playing a 'master-disciple game' with Bai Xiang and planned to help her clean the dust off her feet.

"Let go!"

Bai Xiang's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly pulled his foot back.

Bai Zhuqing froze, standing there blankly, at a loss for what to do.

This is the first time.

He wanted to be mean to her.

"There's no time..."

Perhaps realizing that her reaction was a bit too intense, Bai paused for a moment and got off the table.

"Go back quickly."

"Otherwise, Grandpa will worry."

Watching Bai Xiang leave with his sword, Bai Zhuqing frowned and fell into deep thought.

Sister Xiang'er didn't care about me touching her feet before, but now she does.

Could it be...
