Two days later, in the evening.
After dinner, Xiao Bai came to the large stone. Through these few days of cultivation, he had constantly felt a sense of swelling in his soul. He had a premonition that tonight, his soul might break through.
Once his soul broke through, he might be able to piece together the fragmented memories in his mind and restore his past memories.
He glanced at the grass hut glowing with a faint light, and a smile appeared on Xiao Bai's lips. Since that night, Xiao Yi Xian had become more and more gentle towards him these past two days.
However, the girl would never admit to what she had said that night. She insisted that it must have been Xiao Bai's illusion.
"I wonder what's going on with her. These past two days, she's been acting mysteriously, staying in her room for long periods and not letting me in!"
Xiao Bai was puzzled by this. He didn't want to use his soul power to investigate. Everyone had their own little secrets, and if she didn't want him to know, he would respect that.
Shaking his head, Xiao Bai stopped thinking about it. He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered the state that seemed to be accessible anytime since his memory loss, a state where his mind was calm as still water.
He activated the "Heavenly Heart Perception Chapter" to continuously capture the spiritual energy drifting in the void. Through the technique, he converted it into his own soul power. At this moment, his sea of consciousness was filled with vast amounts of soul power.
While refining the spiritual energy, Xiao Bai also constantly compressed the soul power in his sea of consciousness, causing it to undergo a transformation, advancing from the late stage of the Mortal Realm to the peak of the Mortal Realm.
A faint, cool sensation began to emerge in his sea of consciousness, a sign that the tiny spiritual energies being absorbed into his soul were causing it to grow.
Time passed slowly, and the mist in his sea of consciousness continued to condense. The mist filling his entire sea of consciousness grew denser and denser, almost to the point of liquefaction.
The entire sea of consciousness was also expanding outward at a slow, barely noticeable pace. Xiao Bai knew that this breakthrough was secure.
"Crack!" A barely perceptible, tiny sound rang out in the sea of consciousness. Then, an indescribable aura emanated from him, rippling outward in invisible waves.
There had been no wind in the valley, but now the flowers, grass, and trees around him seemed to be struck by a strong gust, bending and swaying left and right.
This force was invisible and colorless. If someone without profound strength or spiritual sensitivity were present, they would not have noticed the fluctuation.
If anyone had seen Xiao Bai at this moment, they would have noticed that he seemed different from before, as if he had become more dazzling.
A glimmer of light occasionally flashed in his eyes, a reflection of a soul at its peak, his presence almost overwhelming.
"I've finally broken through, the peak of the Mortal Realm!" Xiao Bai realized, understanding his current soul realm through the technique.
Although his soul had broken through and the fragments of his memories had increased, he still couldn't piece them together, which bothered him.
"How did I lose my memories? Who could have shattered my memories like this?"
"Don't let me find out who did it, or I'll make you taste the bitterness of memory loss too!"
Xiao Bai's eyes were filled with coldness as he muttered angrily.
Poor guy, he didn't realize it was his own lightning that caused this!
At that moment, the symbol on his forehead emitted a dazzling silver light, exuding a strong magnetic pull, as if trying to suck Xiao Bai's soul in.
"Has it come?"
Xiao Bai murmured. Every time he practiced the "Heavenly Heart Perception Chapter" in the past few days, the symbol on his forehead would react, but this time it was unusually strong.
Xiao Bai had observed that the pulling force was gradually increasing every day, while the strange sensation in his spiritual awareness was constantly weakening.
He had a guess about this: it was either related to the progress of refining the golden thunder or connected to his soul power.
These were the only two things that had been continuously increasing in his cultivation over the past two days, which could have caused the strange premonition in his spiritual awareness to weaken.
"I want to see what it is that keeps trying to pull me in!"
Xiao Bai had initially resisted this sensation, but now his intuition told him it wasn't overly dangerous. Thus, he decided to follow this attraction and explore what was happening—perhaps it was tied to his memory loss.
After making up his mind, Xiao Bai stopped resisting and allowed his soul to follow the pull, entering the light on his forehead.
As Xiao Bai's soul power entered, the light on his forehead gradually weakened, and only a faint glow flickered on the symbol.
After a dizzying whirl, Xiao Bai's soul arrived in a strange pitch-black void. There was no concept of time or space here, and occasionally a trace of chaotic airflow drifted by.
However, Xiao Bai couldn't sense any of this at the moment. The moment his soul entered this void, he felt an overwhelming pressure, as if the vastness of the heavens themselves were suppressing the spirituality in his soul, making it impossible to perceive anything.
Xiao Bai felt extremely uncomfortable, experiencing a dazed sensation, though a fragment of his consciousness remained, preventing him from fully succumbing to this stupor.
He was startled. What kind of place was this? Was this state caused by someone, or was it something else?
In the black void, a drifting stream of chaotic energy collided with Xiao Bai's soul, instantly merging with it. Xiao Bai's consciousness was immediately filled with a familiar cool sensation.
This feeling was very familiar to him. It was the same sensation he had when absorbing the wandering spiritual energy after his breakthrough. However, this single trace of chaotic energy was enough to match the amount of energy he had collected over several days using his technique.
Before Xiao Bai could rejoice, he noticed the faint black mist emanating from the chaotic energy, and this mist gave him a strange sense of familiarity, though he couldn't quite recall what it was.
"This is such a strange place!" Although Xiao Bai only had a sliver of consciousness left, and couldn't sense the outside world, he seemed to understand that he was in a peculiar space. This sensation was quite mysterious.
In the void, more drifting streams of chaotic energy kept colliding with Xiao Bai's soul. As he continued to absorb them, his soul, which had been a bit unstable after the breakthrough, quickly stabilized.
He didn't know how much time passed, but soon, a powerful repulsive force surged from his soul. Xiao Bai's remaining fragment of consciousness trembled, and with a familiar spinning sensation, he returned to his physical body.
The moment he returned, the Geng Metal Tribulation Lightning, which had been suppressed by Xiao Bing inside his body, suddenly erupted, as if it wanted to break free from Xiao Bing's restraints.
"Ugh!"
Xiao Bai groaned in discomfort, feeling the balance in his lungs, which had only recently stabilized, start to go haywire. Before he could examine his body, another small cluster of Geng Metal Tribulation Lightning, which he had been refining over the past few days, flashed with golden light and appeared in his sea of consciousness, rushing towards his just-returned soul.
Xiao Bing did not stop this refined Geng Metal Tribulation Lightning, allowing it to rush out.
In the midst of Xiao Bai's puzzled gaze, the golden lightning entered his soul and instantly erupted. His entire soul was filled with a faint golden light.
Xiao Bai wasn't worried that this golden lightning would harm him, as it had been refined and carried his soul's mark. It was most familiar with his soul's aura.
Suddenly, he saw the black mist, which had been drifting in the chaotic void, being purified by the golden thunder and rapidly dissipating. It transformed into a tiny strand of chaotic-colored spiritual energy, which then merged into his soul.
At the same time, as the golden lightning continuously stimulated his soul, more and more images flooded his mind, growing increasingly complete. Memories of his past began surfacing one after another.
He… finally remembered everything!
