24 Entering the Dream with Beautiful Master
Fire Refining Starry Sky, atop the altar.
After listening to her disciple’s account, Chen Xi’s expression turned serious.
As she expected, Zi Xunyi was also reborn, and like the Serpent Queen, her daughter was reborn with her.
However, the complications were significant, especially Yan Lingji’s impending disappearance, which weighed heavily on Chen Xi’s heart.
“The Jade Firmament Violet Fire, although only ranked ninth, has extremely strong protective properties, practically an absolute defense for the soul. The only way to break through it is with the diametrically opposed Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire.”
“But isn’t the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire only ranked thirteenth?”
“That’s because the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire is inherently volatile and difficult to control, so its ranking is slightly lower. However, its power is indeed comparable to the top ten Extreme Flames.”
“I see. So, what should we do?”
“Borrow the fire.”
“Borrow the fire?”
“Using the method from the Spiritual Union chapter, we can lend the power of the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire to her, allowing her to break through the Jade Firmament Violet Fire’s restriction. This should allow her reborn consciousness to gradually merge with her current self.”
Yan Zhen frowned. “Can… can we even lend it? The Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire is difficult to control. Wouldn’t it be dangerous—”
If the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire took over Zi Xunyi’s consciousness, it would be disastrous.
“Don’t worry. Zi Fei’s soul fluctuations resonate strongly with yours, Zhen’er. After your souls intertwine, she’ll carry your aura, which will be enough for her to control a sliver of the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire’s power.”
“Oh~~~”
Wait, Zi Fei? Yan Zhen was surprised. Why did Beautiful Master call Zi Xunyi that?
“You’ve already dual cultivated with her, haven’t you, Zhen’er?” Chen Xi teased. “Spiritual dual cultivation.”
Yan Zhen blushed deeply and explained nervously, “I… she said it could help slow down Ling’er’s fading consciousness, so I—”
Chen Xi smiled without saying anything.
Yan Zhen felt even more embarrassed, realizing he was also attracted to Zi Xunyi. He was such a…
No, he couldn’t call himself that. After all, she was so beautiful and elegant, and she was his future wife. Thinking of this, even if he could resist, his lower half couldn’t. Or rather, his lower half never intended to resist!
Yes, it was his lower half that was the problem, not him.
—You’re so shameless!
Yan Zhen mentally scolded his lower half.
“It’s alright, Zhen’er. Master doesn’t mind these things.”
Chen Xi gazed at her precious disciple with affection, her white hand reaching out from her wide sleeve to caress his face. “As long as you like them, Zhen’er, you can marry as many as you want.”
“Master!”
Yan Zhen felt guilty and embraced Beautiful Master, burying his face in her soft bosom.
Chen Xi’s heart warmed. She held him close, gently stroking his head. “No matter what, Master loves you, Zhen’er~”
Yan Zhen mumbled in response, “I… love Master too~”
After a tender moment, Chen Xi raised her hand and created a large bed on the altar’s surface.
They embraced each other, lay down on the bed fully clothed, face to face, their foreheads touching, and, as they had discussed, entered the dream together to talk to the reborn Zi Xunyi.
They appeared in the purple flower field dreamscape and walked towards the large tree at the center. Soon, Zi Xunyi sensed Yan Zhen’s soul fluctuations and appeared.
Seeing Chen Xi, Zi Xunyi was stunned, then became excited. “Master Chen Xi…”
Looking at her disciple’s wife, whom she hadn’t seen in over a year, Chen Xi also felt a surge of affection. She smiled and said, “So you’re the second wife? You’re indeed beautiful and elegant.”
Zi Xunyi smiled faintly. “You flatter me, Master Chen Xi.”
“The Zi surname… if I recall correctly, it’s a prominent surname within the Celestial God Clan of the Eighth Continent.” Chen Xi observed her. “You’ve reached the Mystic King realm at such a young age. Are you from the Celestial God Clan?”
“Your eyesight is as sharp as ever, Master Chen Xi.”
Zi Xunyi felt a sense of closeness.
In her previous life, after losing his grandfather and then his father, Yan Zhen’s only remaining close elder was his master, whom he deeply respected and loved. He would discuss everything with her, even going to great lengths to help her reach the Celestial Sovereign realm.
Therefore, both Zi Xunyi and Cai Lian also respected Chen Xi, practically treating her as their mother-in-law. When Yan Zhen wasn’t around, they relied on her for guidance and support.
Now, with Yan Zhen still young and her in this state, Chen Xi was her only support.
“I am Zi Xunyi, currently a candidate for the Celestial God Clan Goddess. Due to some internal conflicts, I’m temporarily hiding in the Sacred Ground Academy. After I return, I’ll officially become the Goddess and, in a few years, marry my husband, the future Jiā Lán Holy Son. You can call me ‘Zi Ji’ or ‘Zi Fei,’ Master Chen Xi.”
Chen Xi acknowledged her with a hum. “Zhen’er has already explained the situation. Let me see Lingji first.”
Zi Xunyi nodded, formed a hand seal, tore open a rift in the dreamscape, and brought Yan Lingji out from its depths.
She was sleeping peacefully, her body translucent, as if she might disappear at any moment, enveloped in a thin cocoon of soul energy. This was the protective power formed by the intertwining of Yan Zhen and Zi Xunyi’s souls, slowing down the dissipation of her consciousness.
Seeing the quiet and lovely little girl in such a state, Chen Xi felt a pang of sympathy. “There are no injuries or illnesses. It seems her consciousness is fading because she has been adrift in the dreamscape for too long, without a physical anchor.”
Although not hopeful, Zi Xunyi still asked, “Is there any way to heal her, Master Chen Xi?”
Chen Xi shook her head. “If it were any other soul, we could find a suitable body for it to reside in temporarily. But Lingji doesn’t exist in this era. It’s highly unlikely we’ll find a matching body.”
Zi Xunyi sighed softly.
Chen Xi continued, “The only solution is for Zhen’er to get the current you pregnant as soon as possible. However, the current you doesn’t even know Zhen’er, let alone being intimate with him. That’s the main obstacle.”
Zi Xunyi nodded seriously.
Chen Xi added, “The reason you can’t fully merge with your current self is because of the Jade Firmament Violet Fire’s protection. As long as we can break through that protection, your consciousness can gradually integrate. But your power alone isn’t enough. You need to work together with your husband.”
The intelligent Zi Xunyi instantly understood. “Are you referring to my husband’s Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire, Master Chen Xi?”
Chen Xi nodded slightly. Her vast Spiritual Power surged behind her, creating a large bed, identical to the one on the altar.
“Since you understand, then take off your clothes, get on the bed, and dual cultivate. Let Zhen’er lend you the power of the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire. Afterward, I’ll help you merge with your current self.”
