Transmigration: The Breathtaking Villain is Forced into Love by the Blackened Protagonist chapter 122

Chapter 122: Abandoned Once Again

Inside the Wuji Space, Ning Ke told the others everything about the Snow Dragon Clan.

“So the Sun God’s greed was the source of it all.” Gao Ze’s face was grave. “If we want to protect the Qianyuan Continent, we must eliminate this deity.”

After saying this, he knit his brows, feeling ashamed of his own incompetence.

He was not afraid to die, but he feared his death would be of no help in defeating the god.

After all, neither the Snow Dragon Clan nor the Yao Venerable Ning Ke had been a match for Lie Yang. He himself hadn’t even comprehended a domain yet. If he rushed back to fight, he would be doing nothing more than making a futile effort.

Wugou was also anxious. He asked Feng Yu.

“Senior Feng Yu, do you have any method to quickly increase our cultivation?”

Feng Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, his fingers toyed with the edge of his bandages as he spoke.

“Inside the Wuji Space, there is a mountain range called the Xunian Mountain. The flow of time inside is different from the outside world; one year outside is equivalent to ten years inside Xunian Mountain. Right now, time is of the essence, so Xunian Mountain is your best place to cultivate.”

“However, while it is easy to enter Xunian Mountain, it is not easy to leave.”

Ning Ke asked, “What do you mean by that, Senior?”

Feng Yu said, “Xunian Mountain sets various trials for entrants based on their cultivation and fate. You can only leave when you have cleared those trials. Many cultivators enter to train themselves, only to never come out even until their deaths.”

“If you have the resolve to clear the trials, you can try. If you aren’t confident, you’d better stay outside to cultivate.”

Feng Yu finished and waited for the three of them to back down.

But after waiting for only three breaths, he saw the three exchange a look before saying to him: “Please send us into the Xunian Mountain, Senior.”

Feng Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled.

“You’ve got backbone, at least.”

“Then I shall pass on to you the cultivation methods of the gods. I will help you open your domains and then send you into the Xunian Mountain.”

In the days that followed, Gao Ze and Wugou experienced what could only be described as a “hell mode” training.

“Deities do not use spiritual energy, but Chaos Qi, also known as Divine Power. For example, once a cultivator ascends, the spiritual or yao energy in their body transforms into a new power. This power is Chaos Qi. They use this to push the power of their domains to the limit, making them hundreds or thousands of times stronger than a half-baked cultivator without divine power.”

Feng Yu walked over to Wugou, grabbed the little monk by the collar, and tossed him with a swing of his arm into a massive iron vat filled with medicinal liquid.

“Cough, cough…” Wugou was soaked through. He had just spat out a mouthful of water when he saw Gao Ze trace a parabolic arc and fall into the iron vat beside him.

The two scrambled up and looked over the edge of the vat, only to see a furnace positioned beneath them.

While question marks were practically appearing over their heads, they saw Feng Yu point a finger.

Boom—

The furnace instantly erupted in flames!

The iron vats were engulfed!

On the other side of the flames was Feng Yu’s wicked smile.

“You aren’t gods, so you have no way to condense Chaos Qi. Therefore, you must awaken your domains as quickly as possible to have even a sliver of hope in the fight against a god.”

“There are two ways to awaken a domain: one is talent, and the other is to break through one’s own limits at the brink of death.”

“Currently, you are trapped within my Fire Domain. If you don’t awaken your own domains soon, you’ll be boiled alive into a pot of fragrant soup.”

At this point, Feng Yu licked his lips and added, “Oh, I forgot to mention… I used to eat people…”

Wugou and Gao Ze shuddered at those words.

Daring not to doubt him, they hurriedly followed the method Feng Yu had taught them and worked desperately to awaken their domains.

Compared to them, Feng Yu’s attitude toward Ning Ke was much better.

He turned back and asked Ning Ke, “How are you feeling today? Did you take your daily painkilling pill?”

“I did.” Ning Ke’s face was still pale.

The feeling of the demonic qi thrashed inside his body was indeed very painful.

But after everything he had been through, his tolerance for pain had increased significantly.

On the surface, he was able to maintain a calm appearance.

“I feel alright now. Thank you for your concern, Senior.”

He asked Feng Yu, “The method of ‘slaying a god’ you mentioned before… could you explain it to me in detail?”

Feng Yu watched his serious expression.

The hand toying with the bandages paused for a moment. He said, “Deities are immortal and indestructible. To truly defeat one, a price must be paid…”

At this point, he asked Ning Ke, “I just don’t know if you are willing to pay that price.”

Ning Ke was taken aback, then said, “Please tell me, Senior. As long as it is within my power, I will spare no effort.”

Feng Yu narrowed his eyes, his grip on the bandages tightening. After a long while, he finally let go and let out a light sigh. “Aiy, I actually hope you won’t agree.”

…

Half a month passed quietly.

Inside the Peach Blossom Spring, dark clouds gathered above the wooden hut where Lou Yunxiao was staying.

Thunder surged, and with a deafening roar, the first heavenly lightning struck!

It slammed into Lou Yunxiao, causing his body to shudder violently.

Arcs of electricity coiled around his skin, tempering his constitution.

Then, one bolt after another descended, enveloping Lou Yunxiao.

Each strike was heavier than the last!

They struck until Lou Yunxiao was bleeding from his nose and mouth.

This was, after all, the tribulation for breaking through to the Mahayana Stage. Compared to the one in the Demon Realm, it was far stronger.

Lou Yunxiao made a hand seal. The previously shattered spiritual energy shield reformed, but this time, a layer of grey qi had condensed upon it, boldly meeting the final lightning bolt, which was as thick as a tree trunk.

Boom—

The heavenly lightning actually trembled upon meeting that grey qi, its momentum weakening. It even caused less damage to Lou Yunxiao than the previous few bolts.

Lou Yunxiao frowned slightly, a bit puzzled.

But he didn’t give it much thought.

With the successful absorption of the final lightning bolt, Lou Yunxiao had finally reached the Mahayana Stage!

His heart surged with uncontrollable excitement. Opening his eyes, the first thing he did was rise quickly to tell A-Ke the good news.

But…

When he looked around…

There was no sign of A-Ke.

He expanded his divine sense, but throughout the entire Peach Blossom Spring, he couldn’t find even a trace of A-Ke’s aura!

Seeing Qing Ru and Niao Niao approaching, Lou Yunxiao asked urgently, “Senior Qing Ru, where is A-Ke? Have you seen where he went?”

Qing Ru saw his panicked expression and felt a twinge of pity.

However, he still told the truth. “Little Friend A-Ke left half a month ago.”

He handed the Hongyun Sword and the Qingxin Sutra to Lou Yunxiao together. “These are the things he asked me to give to you. He said if you ever have demonic thoughts again, you should recite this sutra from memory and use it with the Buddha Lotus Lamp to keep them in check.”

“Left?” Lou Yunxiao spat out the word through grit teeth, his expression twisting for a brief moment.

The aura around him grew unstable, causing the air in the vicinity to fluctuate violently.

In that moment, Lou Yunxiao’s heart felt empty—tightly, painfully empty.

But immediately following that was a towering rage!

He didn’t understand. Why was it that no matter what methods he used, he still couldn’t keep that person by his side?!

In the Demon Abyss, he had respected “Older Sister.” Knowing she had a beloved, he had abandoned his thoughts.

In the Sword Sect, he had carried the burden of a blood feud. Initially cold and crippled, he hadn’t dared to admit his feelings for A-Ke. Later, when he finally realized his heart and found the courage to express it, he had been bombarded by A-Ke’s “truths” and rejected with harsh words.

So, he had tried to change his own personality, desperate to fight for this relationship.

He had clumsily expressed his thoughts, and even though he was pushed away again and again, he still shamelessly pressed closer, just so that person would smile at him or say a few words.

Seeing through the identity of “Older Sister” had given him hope.

After speaking with A-Ke and receiving the confirmation of his feelings, he had been ecstatic.

He had thought they finally had a future.

He had absorbed the Godhead with a heart full of joy, thinking that in the future, he would fight alongside A-Ke to face the Demons, and then go wherever A-Ke wanted to go, fulfilling whatever wishes A-Ke had.

He had thought that with enough time, he would be able to completely replace the person in A-Ke’s heart.

But…

Now, he discovered that he had been abandoned by A-Ke once again.

Mercilessly, without so much as a goodbye.

So…

Were those words about liking him just lies too?

Was it just a pretext to find an opportunity to leave him?

Lou Yunxiao suddenly wanted to laugh.

Laugh at his own stupidity.

And laugh at that person’s heartlessness.

He accepted the items from Qing Ru, and his expression returned to a terrifying calm.

But within his eyes lurked an indelible hostility and a distorted, utter madness.

He asked Qing Ru, “Do you know where he went, Senior?”

Translator’s Note: Happy weekend, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well.
