Chapter 105 Awakening the Eye of the Spirit World
"So, let go of your obsession with power, okay?"
Li Muchen listened quietly to the affectionate and earnest consolation of the black-robed swordsman, and finally couldn't help herself and gently snuggled into his arms. At this moment, fragments of the past came flooding back like a tide, pulling her back to the scene of their first meeting.
……
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Even if I didn't see anything from the Dao League secret text, I wouldn't be so depressed."
At the Blue Sky Conference, Wang Quanzui, who was only six years old, accidentally discovered something unusual about Dongfang Tianyu after reporting to Master Fei what he had seen from the Dao League's secret transmission. He covered his face with one hand, his expression revealing indescribable pain and struggle.
"No...it's okay..."
Dongfang Tianyu also wanted to tell Mr. Fei about what he had seen in the Taoist secret teachings, but just as he was about to open his mouth, the unspeakable existence occupied his brain again, making him feel immense pressure and fear.
Dongfang Tianyu's pupils shrank suddenly. He could no longer bear it and ran away like crazy.
"Brother!"
Wang Quanzui also noticed Dongfang Tianyu's abnormality and wanted to chase him immediately, but there were too many disciples from aristocratic families around him, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared in the crowd.
"what--"
It took Dongfang Tianyu half a cup of tea to run to an empty bush. He collapsed to the ground with a splitting headache, grabbing his face with both hands as if trying to tear off the invisible restraints.
His eyes were bloodshot, his body was rolling and struggling, and he was mumbling to himself, but no specific words could be heard.
"What are these...?"
"Why...why am I seeing this..."
His voice was low and desperate, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"What did you see? Do you need my help?"
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in his ears, like a spring breeze, instantly relieving some of his pain.
Dongfang Tianyu looked up suddenly and saw a little red-haired girl in black clothes and a hood walking slowly towards him.
Seeing Dongfang Tianyu struggling, the girl's eyes were full of concern and curiosity. She condensed a not-so-powerful mental spell in her hand, trying to relieve his pain.
"I... I don't know..." Dongfang Tianyu's voice trembled. He tried to sort out his thoughts, but the chaotic images and strong emotions in his mind made it almost impossible for him to think. "I... I saw the future, or... it was a terrible dream..."
When the girl heard this, the expression hidden in her hood suddenly darkened, and it was obvious that she was not satisfied with Dongfang Tianyu's answer.
In fact, Li Muchen had been secretly observing Dongfang Tianyu since he came to the Blue Sky Conference. After all, he was so close to the young master and daughter of the Wang Quan family, so he was definitely not an ordinary person.
As she expected, Dongfang Tianyu's expression changed immediately after reading the secret biography of the Dao League. When he ran out of the crowd just now, Li Muchen realized that he had also seen something from the secret biography, so he chased after him immediately. From his reaction at this time, it can be known that what Dongfang Tianyu saw must be very different from that group of people, which is why Li Muchen asked him.
Li Muchen didn't get the information she wanted from Dongfang Tianyu, so she simply turned the spell in her hand that stabilized her mind into a soul-searching spell, hoping to get the answer directly from his memory.
However, just as her soul-searching technique was about to touch the depths of Dongfang Tianyu's soul, an inexplicable force suddenly emerged.
Dongfang Tianyu's eyes flashed blue, and Li Muchen let out a violent scream as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
"what--!"
Li Muchen's body trembled violently, as if she was hit by an invisible force. She staggered back a few steps, her face instantly turning pale as paper. She covered her chest, gasping for breath, her eyes full of shock and fear. She had never seen or felt that power before. It was powerful and ancient, as if it could see into people's hearts.
"You...what is that inside you?"
Li Muchen's voice trembled, and she could hardly believe her eyes and perception.
The next moment, a red-faced, fang-toothed demon shadow suddenly appeared on Dongfang Tianyu's face. It seemed to be trying hard to intertwine and merge with his face, creating a strange and frightening atmosphere.
An unprecedented torrent of consciousness suddenly hit Dongfang Tianyu's spiritual world like a violent storm. He instinctively wanted to build a defense line to resist the invasion of this external force. However, this consciousness was so powerful that it was beyond imagination and left him almost no room for resistance.
"Could this be the 'possession' recorded in ancient books? I can't just sit there and wait for death!"
Feeling his consciousness gradually sinking, Dongfang Tianyu's heart surged with an unprecedented desire to survive. The blue light in his eyes suddenly surged, like bright stars, forcibly expelling the foreign consciousness from his spiritual realm.
"Success!"
Just when Dongfang Tianyu thought the crisis was over, the demon shadow that he had forced out of his body came back again and attacked him even more fiercely.
Unexpectedly, the demon's phantom attached itself to Dongfang Tianyu's face again. But unlike last time, it did not continue to penetrate his sea of consciousness, but turned into a brightly colored demon mask, tightly fitting on Dongfang Tianyu's face, adding a bit of weirdness and mystery to him.
This sudden change stunned Dongfang Tianyu. He reached out and touched the cold mask on his face, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Li Muchen was standing by and witnessed it all. There was shock and curiosity in her eyes, but more importantly, there was a desire for the power she had just felt.
"How... did you do this?" There was a barely perceptible tremor in Li Muchen's voice. She realized that she might have discovered an incredible secret.
Dongfang Tianyu shook his head. He himself couldn't explain it. The demon mask seemed to be integrated with him. It was both a burden and a power. He tried to communicate with it with his consciousness, but all he got was silence.
"I don't know...it just came up."
Dongfang Tianyu's voice was low and confused. After thinking for a moment, he took off the devil mask on his face and prepared to rush back.
"Brother Dongfang, are you planning to tell the elders in the Dao League about what happened just now?" Li Muchen saw this and quickly stepped forward to block his way. "If you go back now, the elders in the Dao League may not understand what you have been through, and they may even cause you a lot of trouble."
