One step forward is heaven, one step back is hell.
These were the two different results of climbing the Heavenly Axiom and the different feelings brought about by the different results.
Some people would feel that it was strange. Since it was so difficult to climb the Heavenly Dao, why didn't one just give up when it was difficult to make a decision? If it didn't work this time, he would climb it next time. If it didn't work next time, he would try again the next time …
This time, I'm asking you to sever your emotions. Next time, I might just ask you to cut off your hair and cut off your hemorrhoids … At least it's much easier to accept than becoming a stone person with a heart of ice in a jade pot, right?
If it was really that easy, then why would countless people sigh about how difficult the Heaven's Dao was?
He could climb whenever he wanted. Why would there be the 'critical point of breakthrough' that people often talked about?
When are you going to break through? Whether or not there was a chance to break through was a kind of intuition, a kind of epiphany … There were people who cultivated arduously their entire lives and suddenly had an epiphany on their deathbed. They would sit on a wall in fear and climb to the Heavenly Dao realm overnight. There were also young children who unknowingly entered the Heavenly Dao realm. Of course, that sort of situation was extremely rare, and it was a special case.
Martial artists like Ye Rou who had already begun to climb the Heavenly Way at such a young age were also very rare. Most of them began to take this step in their prime at the age of thirty-four. This was because the martial artists of that period were sufficiently knowledgeable and had accumulated sufficiently. Whether it was their mental state or physical strength, they were at their peak. All the basic conditions were prepared to the best, and when the opportunity came, he would take the next step steadily. Only then would his chances of success be higher.
If he failed, then not only would he not be able to enter the realm of the Heaven's Dao, he would even be injured by the Heaven's Dao. That would truly be a huge loss …
This was also the reason why the Ye family attached so much importance to Ye Rou's breakthrough. No one wanted to bear the loss of failure.
Even if Ye Rou didn't ascend to heaven now, she was still a Dao-Seeking Realm expert. With her talent, it was only a matter of time before she entered the Heavenly Dao realm …
However, if he failed in his ascent, not only would the Ye family lose a Heavenly Dao realm expert, but they would also lose a Dao Querying realm expert … It was easy to find Dao Querying realm experts, but it was difficult to find such a young and outstanding Dao Querying realm expert.
"I can't kill you … I can't kill you …" Ye Rou's body rolled on the stone floor. She held her head desperately with both hands, wishing she could pull her head off her neck.
She could not kill Fang Yan. She could not bear to cut off her love for him.
With one slash, he would forget all his emotions for life.
Otherwise, the backlash from the Heavenly Dao would be even more intense …
It was too painful. He felt as if his head was about to explode.
Countless images spun in his mind, countless voices screamed in his ears, and a tidal wave of information rushed into his brain …
She was about to go crazy!
Ye Rou's body began to sweat profusely, and a large amount of sweat oozed out.
When the water in the body was completely discharged, it began to emit smoke.
The smoke first dried up her clothes, then her body, turning her whole body red … She looked like a shrimp.
When Fang Yan pushed open the stone door and barged in, he saw white smoke billowing in the room. The entire stone room was shrouded in smoke …
"Ye Rou …" Fang Yan called out.
The stone room was not big, and the thick smoke could not block his sharp eyes.
Hearing the sound of rolling on the floor, he rushed over and picked Ye Rou up …
"Ye Rou …" When Fang Yan's hand touched Ye Rou's body, he felt a burning sensation.
It was like hugging a small sun. How hot was it?
Even so, Fang Yan was still reluctant to put Ye Rou's body back on the floor …
"Ye Rou …" Fang Yan called out Ye Rou's name loudly. "Ye Rou, wake up … What's wrong with you?"
Her head was muddled, and she had gradually lost her sense of self.
She just kept shouting words like "I can't kill you" over and over again to strengthen her belief, because she was worried that she would lose control of her actions after falling into 'chaos'.
Her eyes became darker and her head became heavier and heavier. She felt she was about to die. Because her neck was choked by the malicious ghost that Fang Yan transformed into. Her throat was dry and burning, and she could hardly breathe.
In her hazy consciousness, she heard Fang Yan's voice.
"Fang Yan …" Ye Rou called out.
Her voice was hoarse, and blood oozed out of her mouth when she spoke. Her mouth was full of blood, which flowed out from the corners of her mouth, which was a ghastly sight.
"Ye Rou … Ye Rou, you'll be fine …" Fang Yan hugged Ye Rou tightly, wanting her to feel his strength and to know that he was with her.
One of Fang Yan's palms pressed on Ye Rou's back, trying to transfer his True Qi into her body and gather their strength to overcome this difficulty together.
However, just as the vital energy in his palm was released and touched her body, it was violently pushed back by a strong and unparalleled force.
After squeezing out Fang Yan's strength, it didn't stop there. It even wanted to attack the insides of Fang Yan's body through his palm … It was like a blood-sucking bug that wanted to occupy Fang Yan's body.
Now Ye Rou was like a living mountain in its active phase. Her body was full of raging waves and raging flames.
Her body formed a self-cycle and formed an independent little universe.
If no external force intervened, it would continue to stay in this state. The temperature would get higher and higher, and the waves would get bigger and bigger. It might also gradually extinguish and die …
If external force intervened, it would become violent and restless. It would become a ferocious monster, baring its teeth and roaring, devouring all the enemies who tried to offend it …
Fang Yan's palms were bounced off and he felt a burning pain in his palms.
"Ye Rou …" Fang Yan exclaimed. He didn't dare to try again, because if he was careless, the force he transferred into Ye Rou's body might cause a volcanic eruption.
What would Ye Rou be like after the volcanic eruption? Fang Yan didn't dare to imagine.
Ye Rou's body lay weakly in Fang Yan's arms. Because of the bleeding in her mouth, it was difficult for her to even speak …
She could only hold Fang Yan tightly and put her burning, purplish-red arms around Fang Yan's waist.
"Even if I die …" Ye Rou thought, "At least I won't have any regrets …"
Thinking of this, the pain on Ye Rou's face eased a lot, and her struggling and twisting body calmed down a lot.
"Ye Rou, you'll be fine … I won't let anything happen to you …" Fang Yan said in a sorrowful and indignant voice with determination in his eyes. "Nothing can trouble me … Just hold on for a while and give me some time …"
Yes, Fang Yan needed time.
He couldn't use Tai Chi Qi to calm the riot in her internal organs, and ordinary medical skills and medicines couldn't bring down her fever … It was too late to spend a lot of money to hire that greedy doctor.
What should I do?
What should I do?
"Spring on a withered tree …" An idea flashed across Fang Yan's mind. Suddenly, he thought of the unique Taoist skill 'Spring on a Withered Tree' that the old Taoist had performed in front of him.
Even a withered tree could be rejuvenated, so it shouldn't be difficult for Ye Rou, who had fallen into a demon, to return to her normal state.
However, the old Taoist was on Xianxia Mountain … or in other places …
That old guy was elusive and didn't like to use high-tech communication tools. Even if he could find him, it would be several days later … With Ye Rou's current physical condition, even if she was much stronger than ordinary people, she wouldn't be able to hold on for more than two hours …
What could Fang Yan do in two hours?
He wanted to use 'Spring on a Withered Tree' to cure Ye Rou, to calm her inner fire, and to expel the demon in her heart … But he didn't know how to do it.
He only comprehended the first stage, 'Withered Tree', but how did he achieve the second stage, 'Spring on a Withered Tree'? How could she regain her vitality after losing her life?
Fang Yan blamed himself in his heart.
If he had worked harder, if he hadn't been bothered by so many things, if he had focused on practicing martial arts, if he had stayed by the old Taoist's side to observe and learn more … maybe he would have comprehended the essence of 'Spring on a Withered Tree'. In that case, he would have been able to save Ye Rou …
"Why didn't I do that?" Fang Yan wanted to slap himself dozens of times.
Ye Rou's body was getting hotter and hotter, and the black exercise clothes she was wearing began to wrinkle and crack due to the loss of moisture …
Even so, her hands were still holding Fang Yan's waist tightly. She didn't show any signs of letting go.
Her breathing was getting weaker and weaker. Fang Yan put his hand on Ye Rou's chest … but he couldn't feel her heartbeat.
"Ye Rou …" Fang Yan roared hoarsely.
Watching the woman he loved the most die in his arms without being able to do anything, this was harder to accept than a thousand arrows piercing through his heart …
"Fang Yan, you idiot, don't pull my braid …"
"Fang Yan, you bastard, how dare you pick my plum blossom …"
"Fang Yan, get up! Don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead …"
"Fang Huohuo, I'm going to kill you …"
"Fang Yan …"
…
Fang Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and big drops of tears fell down.
Tears fell on Ye Rou's face. Ye Rou's eyelids moved with difficulty, but she still couldn't open her eyes …
"Ye Rou …" Fang Yan gnashed his teeth and said, "You can't die … You said you would kill me 126 times, but you haven't done it … So you can't die …"
Fang Yan picked up Ye Rou's body and laid her on the stone bed. Then he put his palm flat on Ye Rou's belly button.
Move a mountain!
Fang Yan wanted to move the volcano in Ye Rou's body into his own.
Since the volcano needed to erupt, he would erupt in his body.
