"How did you get here?" Ouyang Zixin didn't turn around, but she knew the person who came was definitely Yun Tianmo. A warmth spread in her heart; it seemed this man had been paying attention to her all along.
Yun Tianmo stood silently behind Ouyang Zixin with his hands clasped behind his back. He had come just to see if she needed help; there was no need for unnecessary words.
It felt as if a certain tacit understanding had formed between them, and they remained quietly together. Ouyang Zixin busied herself, opening the Small Stone Box and positioning the Mirror Guardian to face Feng Chengxuan. She wanted to see if she could reflect the images from his mind through the Mirror Guardian while using the Eye Technique.
"Nameless, you come out and protect me from the side."
— Yes, Master.
The reason Ouyang Zixin instructed Nameless was not due to distrust in Yun Tianmo behind her, but because she believed that having an extra layer of protection was always good in uncertain situations. Zhai Yiqi and Baike harbored hostility towards her; if they intended to cause trouble, it might be difficult to defend against them.
With Nameless, who they couldn't see, protecting her from the side, she could catch them off guard.
"Be careful," Yun Tianmo said. He knew Ouyang Zixin possessed the Eye Technique but had never seen her use it before; he thought she might not be able to use it yet. Seeing what she was preparing now, he could roughly guess what she intended to do.
"It's fine. This is similar to hypnosis; it digs into a person's subconscious memories and lets them tell us what happened in the Small Stone Box without even knowing themselves," Ouyang Zixin explained while fiddling with the Mirror Guardian.
"If the Mirror Guardian can reflect his memories, then you will be able to see them too. This is my first time using the Eye Technique, so I don't know how effective it will be. Ah, if only I had a pocket watch right now, I could learn a bit from a hypnotist's style." Chatting away, Ouyang Zixin wasn't sure if she was speaking to Yun Tianmo or just talking to herself. Whenever faced with something uncertain, she always babbled on like this.
Yun Tianmo placed his hand on her shoulder and gently pressed down, indicating that he was there and encouraging her to relax.
Ouyang Zixin chuckled lightly and placed her hand over his; it was cool and quite comfortable.
"I'm going to start now."
Yun Tianmo nodded silently and took half a step back. This was the farthest distance he could tolerate. Standing here, he could assist at any moment, and if anyone intended to harm Ouyang Zixin, he could defend her immediately.
With her eyes slowly closing, Ouyang Zixin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if she wanted to expel all the air from her chest. Her complexion gradually turned pale, as she began to concentrate the Mysterious Energy within her body to her head, then channel it to the Purple-Eyed Beast hidden in her forehead. This was the only way she could awaken the Purple-Eyed Beast.
In her dantian, Ouyang Zixin once again saw the Yin-Yang Fish Diagram. At this moment, it appeared somewhat complete; the two fish eyes were faintly taking shape, though their colors were not yet distinct. This time, Ouyang Zixin also intended to mobilize its power, and whether she would succeed would only be known after she tried.
She placed her palms inward, enveloping her transparent Mysterious Energy around her abdomen, intending to use external stimulation to activate the Yin-Yang Fish Diagram in her dantian. Only when it moved could she draw upon the Mysterious Energy within.
A warm sensation gradually emanated from her dantian, and a slight flush appeared on Ouyang Zixin's pale face; however, her expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of discomfort. After a while, white steam began to rise faintly from the top of her head, giving a feeling of floating in the clouds.
Many people watching from afar were astonished at this scene. In Yuhai Continent, such occurrences were only seen among those cultivating the Orange Element Body; no other cultivators had achieved anything like this.
"What exactly is she cultivating?" Baike frowned, while Zhai Yiqi beside him was puzzled. They had fought before; Ouyang Zixin was definitely not practicing the Orange Element Body. So what was happening now?
Moreover, what was she planning to do to Feng Chengxuan?
A pure white light shot out from the Small Stone Box and soared into the sky. Although the beam was not very thick, it was incredibly bright, causing everyone to raise their hands to shield their eyes.
Yun Tianmo looked up at the white light. He wasn't mistaken; this white light initially emerged from the Black Bear pattern on the Small Stone Box. This meant that the so-called five elemental attributes had transformed into the Black Bear's pattern? Did this white light signify that the next danger would be "metal"?
All around was nothing but gravel; where would any metallic substance come from?
—Master, it is white light.
Ouyang Zixin heard Nameless's voice but could not respond at that moment; she merely nodded slightly to indicate she understood. The Yin-Yang Fish Diagram in her dantian had just begun to operate; she could not afford to relax. The white light shooting out from the Small Stone Box suddenly sparked an idea in Ouyang Zixin's mind—
Could it be that the formation of her Yin-Yang Fish Diagram relied on the external Mysterious Energy she absorbed?
Once the idea was formed, it could naturally be refined over time. There was no time to dwell on that now; she had to focus on executing the Eye Technique.
"Release!"
As Ouyang Zixin's lips met, the word "release" escaped her mouth. A flash of red light appeared at her forehead, gradually deepening in color until it transformed into purple.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the rising white light, and for a moment, no one noticed the unusual occurrence with Ouyang Zixin. The only one who did was Yun Tianmo. Seeing this, he felt a slight relief; it seemed to have succeeded.
Once the light of the Purple-Eyed Beast formed, it shot out from Ouyang Zixin's forehead and entered Feng Chengxuan's forehead. In that instant, Ouyang Zixin suddenly went limp and was caught by Yun Tianmo.
"Ding—"
The Mirror Guardian emitted a faint sound just as Yun Tianmo was about to lift Ouyang Zixin. He paused and turned his head to see the image above gradually becoming clearer—
The first person to appear was Feng Chengxuan, hiding behind a rockery, peeking at something. Then a young girl appeared, laughing as she chased butterflies in a flower patch. Feng Chengxuan watched in fascination, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. But then the scene shifted; the girl fell to the ground, injuring her leg and bleeding. Feng Chengxuan's smile twisted into a grimace as he killed many people before finally carrying the girl away…
The scene changed again, and Feng Chengxuan reappeared, quietly standing behind a graceful young woman, gazing at her with infatuation. She slowly turned her head and smiled sweetly. Feng Chengxuan rushed forward and embraced her, ignoring her struggles as he forcefully kissed her…
Yun Tianmo frowned at these images, feeling disdainful. Judging by her appearance, that woman should be Feng Chengxuan's sister; he never expected him to be such a beast.
"Mm…" Ouyang Zixin let out a soft groan in Yun Tianmo's arms, seemingly struggling with something. Then there was a "ding," and the Mirror Guardian went dark, leaving only the faint sound of "thump thump" echoing… (To be continued.)
