He woke up and fell asleep several times in a row.
After an unknown amount of time.
One day, the sleeping Qin Yu suddenly felt someone flipping him. Qin Yu was very alert and wanted to wake himself up. However, he was too weak and did not even have the strength to open his eyes. He could only let the person flip him.
At the same time, Qin Yu secretly decided that he would not use the Bloodline Transformation in the future unless he could. This feeling of not being able to control himself made Qin Yu feel extremely disgusted.
When Qin Yu was alert, he felt a cold liquid enter his mouth. It slid down his throat and into his lungs. He did not know what liquid it was, but it should be some kind of spirit liquid that contained a trace of life force.
Although it was only a trace of life force, it was like rain to Qin Yu's body after a long drought. He crazily and greedily absorbed the life force in the spirit liquid.
Unfortunately, this spirit liquid was very little. It was so little that it was only a small mouthful. Before Qin Yu's body could absorb it, it was already gone.
This trace of life force was far from enough for Qin Yu to recover. In his weakened state, Qin Yu fell into a deep sleep again.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Yu felt the spirit liquid enter his stomach again. A faint and pleasant voice was saying something. Qin Yu wanted to listen to what it was saying, but he was too weak.
Like this, the cycle repeated itself over and over again. After nearly a hundred times, Qin Yu gradually recovered some of his strength.
One day.
When the spirit liquid entered his stomach again, Qin Yu woke up and heard the pleasant voice again.
"Xiao Shan, Aunty and the others are very good to me. However, I still feel that I am an outsider. Perhaps it is because of the wound on my face. Perhaps it is because I do not belong here."
"I have a feeling that I do not belong here. I seem to be waiting for something. I hope you can get better soon. Tell me … who am I? What am I waiting for?"
His voice was like the sound of nature, as if he was talking to himself.
Qin Yu's head was filled with confusion as he listened. He opened his eyes slightly, wanting to see who was the one who was so tirelessly feeding him the spirit liquid, and who was the one who was narrating.
What entered Qin Yu's line of sight was the side of a face. Although he could only see one side, from the outline of the face, it was a woman. From the side, her face was very delicate. Her light eyebrows were like autumn water, and her jade-like skin was accompanied by a gentle breeze. It could be said that her appearance was peerless.
It was unknown what the beautiful woman was thinking about. Her eyes were slightly blurred, as if she was in deep thought, but it gave Qin Yu an inexplicable feeling of being moved. As the saying goes, the tranquility of a pine tree grows in an empty valley.
"Fellow Daoist …" Qin Yu said weakly. The woman suddenly came to her senses and turned her head reflexively.
As she turned her head, Qin Yu's peerless appearance instantly collapsed. This was a face that couldn't be described with words. The right side of her face was peerless, but the left side was incomparably ugly. Her flesh and blood had solidified, and her eyes were about to pop out. It was as if the skin on this side of her face had been forcefully peeled off.
Qin Yu, who wasn't prepared at all, was startled. His pupils shrank.
Seeming to sense the change in Qin Yu's expression, the woman suddenly came to her senses. She quickly turned her head and hurriedly left.
After a long time, Qin Yu regained his senses. He was a bit vexed in his heart. He knew that his change in expression had hurt the woman. While he was vexed, he also decided that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely restore the woman's appearance.
For three days, the woman didn't appear again. This caused Qin Yu to blame himself even more.
Women naturally loved to be beautiful. From the right side of the woman's face, she was definitely a peerless beauty in the past. However, for some reason, the left side of her face became like that. This should be the pain in the woman's heart. And his expression had pinched the place where her heart was aching.
Although the woman didn't come and there was no spiritual liquid, Qin Yu had already recovered a bit of strength. Although it wasn't enough to use the Heavenly Dao Immortal Chant, it shouldn't be long before the Sea of Bitterness would give birth to its own life force.
Because he couldn't move and couldn't use the Heavenly Dao Immortal Chant to recover, Qin Yu could only lie there. After a long time, Qin Yu couldn't help but start to recall and ponder.
"Is this still the Life-and-Death Secret Realm?
Is this a secret realm or is it real?
Why … do I feel that if I die here, I will really die? "
"Is Duan Hongtu dead?
By killing him, I violated the rules of the Yin Life and Death Sect?
So I was punished to this place?
But if that's the case, who is that woman?
Where is this place? "Qin Yu couldn't help but let his thoughts run wild.
"Logically speaking, even if I violated the sect's rules by killing a prospective sequence disciple and would be punished, I shouldn't just leave myself here like this … A new disciple killed a prospective sequence disciple. Don't tell me I'm not valued by the experts in the sect?" Qin Yu started to think calmly.
Although he had killed Duan Hongtu, Qin Yu didn't think it was his fault. Moreover, a Dao Knocking realm disciple who killed a prospective sequence disciple should be valued by the experts in the sect. They wouldn't leave him here to fend for himself.
Qin Yu thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. He had to erase this thought.
Then, while Qin Yu waited for the Sea of Bitterness to recover, he began to ponder what kind of existence this Life-and-Death Secret Realm was.
"Such a secret realm has never been seen even in ancient books. If I hadn't seen the Eternal World, I wouldn't have believed that this was just a secret realm … Is it possible that this Life-and-Death Secret Realm is similar to the Eternal World?"
"But that person from the Ancient Xuanyuan Domain said that this secret realm was left behind by the Yin Life and Death Sect at its peak … If that's the case, then this is the Yin Life and Death Sect at its peak?"
"But … before Duan Hongtu died, he saw the Heaven's Finger with shock and disbelief in his eyes … He seemed to recognize the Heaven's Finger. If this was the Yin Life and Death Sect at its peak, logically speaking, he shouldn't recognize the Heaven's Finger …"
"If … if this was the Yin Life and Death Sect at its peak … then this woman … is she real or fake?
Has she already died? "
Qin Yu's thoughts ran wild. The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his thoughts became. He simply stopped thinking about it.
At this moment.
Qin Yu, who was deep in thought, suddenly heard the sound of the wooden door opening. He didn't open his eyes but pretended to be asleep. After about fifteen minutes, Qin Yu felt a warm sensation at the corner of his mouth.
The woman's hand was gently pinching Qin Yu's mouth open. Then, that familiar cold sensation flowed from the corner of his mouth into his stomach and into his lungs.
What moved Qin Yu the most was that the amount this time was three times what it was in the past. In other words, in the days that the woman hadn't come, she had been collecting spiritual liquid. And this spiritual liquid … if he wasn't wrong, it should be dew!
Qin Yu wanted to open his eyes, but when the spiritual liquid entered his stomach, his body showed signs of recovery. Qin Yu was secretly delighted. Striking while the iron was hot, he began to try to use the Heaven's Path Immortal Chant …
"What's going on??"
Not long after, Qin Yu opened his eyes abruptly. His eyes were filled with fear. He used the Heaven's Path Immortal Chant but couldn't absorb any spiritual energy at all …
"How can this be??
Isn't the Yin Life and Death Sect filled with dense immortal spiritual energy?
Why isn't there a trace of spiritual energy here?
Could it be … this isn't the Yin Life and Death Sect's territory?
That's not right … I clearly feel that there's spiritual energy in this space, but why can't I absorb it?? "Qin Yu was shocked.
If he couldn't absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and didn't have any pills, it would be impossible for him to recover from his injuries. Even if he could … who knows how many years it would take. Moreover, the most serious injury was on his spine. If he didn't have enough pills and spiritual energy, he wouldn't have the ability to walk at all!
Unwilling to give up, Qin Yu continued to try to use the Heaven's Path Immortal Chant.
Three days later.
Qin Yu opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with anxiety … In these three days, he tried no less than a thousand times, but all of them ended in failure … The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this space seemed to be imprisoned by some kind of power.
"Creak."
Just as Qin Yu was feeling anxious, the door was pushed open. Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, he slowly closed his eyes.
