Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 586

Chapter 586: Chapter 21: The Three Struck by Lightning

In the space, inside the towering spire designed for accelerated cultivation, Mu Qingge sat cross-legged on the third floor.

With her current cultivation level, she could only reach the third floor. To go higher, she would need to break through to the Silver Realm.

Around her, Bai Xi, Yin Chen, and Yuanyuan were also sitting cross-legged.

Bai Xi and Yin Chen’s faces showed rare seriousness, though Yuanyuan’s beautiful eyes were wide with curiosity, not understanding what was happening.

He had originally been playing outside with Mengmeng but had been suddenly grabbed by Bai Xi and brought here, saying he was to accompany his mom leader in cultivation.

He was more than willing to accompany his mom leader in cultivation. But why did she need someone to accompany her?

"Qingge, are you sure you want to try this?" Bai Xi eyed Mu Qingge seriously and asked again.

Mu Qingge smiled nonchalantly, nodding confidently.

Yin Chen frowned and advised, "Qingge, the inherited memories of this serpent have not fully awakened. There could be oversights in its proposed methods. Why take the risk? Cultivating in this tower speeds up the process even when alone."

"Hey, you stupid fox. I understand you’re advising Qingge against taking risks, but can you stop slandering me? Do you really think I wouldn’t dare kill you?" Bai Xi’s sharp voice rang out.

Yin Chen tenderly glanced at her, then returned his gaze to Mu Qingge. His expression seemed to challenge Bai Xi, confident that she couldn’t do anything to him.

Bai Xi bared her fangs, casting an icy look at Yin Chen.

Mu Qingge, accustomed to their interaction, ignored them. She addressed Yin Chen instead, "My opponents have never been my peers. Maybe you think I stand out among my peers, but that’s far from enough in my eyes." She needed to step by step reach that man, whose injury tugged at her heart.

Moreover, she couldn’t bear to keep that eternal bachelor waiting too long.

Since she decided to embrace love, she wished not to have loneliness entangled with him!

Mu Qingge’s eyes became more determined and decisive.

Bai Xi and Yin Chen exchanged a helpless glance.

"What’s up with you two, so hesitant? If mom leader wants to cultivate, we just accompany her." Yuanyuan said, puzzled.

It’s just cultivation, why did everyone look so grave?

Bai Xi glared at him and snarled, "You little brat, do you understand? This method allows the four of us to cultivate at four times the speed, but if danger arises, all the risks fall on your mom leader alone."

"What!" Yuanyuan’s face changed, immediately shaking his head, "Mom, if it’s that dangerous, how about we don’t cultivate?"

Mu Qingge shook her head, "Yuanyuan, don’t worry about me. I know what I’m doing."

"Gluttonous snake, if anything happens to Qingge, I won’t let you off." Yin Chen suddenly glared menacingly at Bai Xi.

"Me too!" Yuanyuan’s exquisite little face became stern, standing firmly with Yin Chen.

"This has nothing to do with Bai Xi, she’s only following my instructions. Even if something unexpected happens, you can’t blame her." Mu Qingge intervened to stop Yin Chen and Yuanyuan.

This time, Bai Xi didn’t bicker back at Yin Chen but seriously told Mu Qingge, "Qingge, if something really happens to you, I won’t blame them, I’d hate myself."

The three of them were so heavy-hearted that Mu Qingge couldn’t help but smile wryly.

She spread her hands, helplessly laughing, "What are you doing this for? Nothing has happened yet, but you behave as if I’ve turned into a cripple. Have a little confidence in yourself, and in me."

Mu Qingge’s words left the three in silence.

However, their mood didn’t improve as a result.

Once everyone calmed down a bit, Mu Qingge said, "Alright, let’s start. The thing I lack the most right now is time!"

Bai Xi, Yin Chen, and Yuanyuan exchanged glances.

They knew they couldn’t change Mu Qingge’s decision, so they could only relent.

"Remember Qingge, if you feel any obstruction in cultivation, or your meridians begin to ache, stop immediately. Don’t take risks," Bai Xi admonished Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge nodded, closed her eyes, and began cultivating.

As she started, Bai Xi, Yin Chen, and Yuanyuan also began their cultivation.

Bai Xi’s method was to use the contract between Yin Chen and Mu Qingge as a bridge for communication. Then use Bai Xi’s body as a medium to harmonize their discord.

Because Bai Xi was hatched with Mu Qingge’s blood, there was an innate dependency, making resonance easier to initiate.

Yuanyuan was placed last, as among the three, his connection with Mu Qingge was the lightest. His following of Mu Qingge began with ’first-sight kinship’ and, being an Abnormal Fire, he was the most unstable, hence placed last.

This setup formed a new circulation system, drawing out individual spiritual power, communicating with each other to accelerate cultivation.

But if any accident occurred during the process, causing loss of connection or a reversal of spiritual power, Mu Qingge would face the fiercest backlash.

Risks and opportunities go hand in hand, no opportunity is risk-free.

The only judgment is whether it’s worth it.

For Mu Qingge, this method of cultivation was worth it!

She willingly took the risk and believed she would succeed!

The four immersed in cultivation gradually used faint spiritual energy to float outside their bodies, weaving it into beams of light, linking and communicating among them.

This spiritual energy fell over them like a canopy, enveloping them together, emitting a crystal sheen. The spiritual energy seemed to merge their auras, but after all, no one had ever tried this method of cultivation.

Suddenly, all four showed signs of pain and grimace, a peculiar red glow flickering on their faces.

The red glow came abruptly without warning, and as soon as it appeared, the spiritual power covering them became extremely unstable.

The spiritual power in the spire was strong, and the time varied from the outside world’s, causing a spike in the spiritual pressure on the four, leading to chaos in the surrounding spiritual energy.

Mengmeng sensed the anomaly and appeared on the third floor. Seeing their contorted faces, she was startled.

That chaotic spiritual energy conflicted with itself, yet seemed entangled.

Mengmeng cried out, "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to hurt the master?" As the Artifact Spirit of the space, she was most sensitive to changes in spiritual pressure.

At that moment, she could already sense countless aggressive spiritual pressures like tiny drills coming from all directions toward Mu Qingge, aiming to drill into her acupoints and damage her meridians.

Mu Qingge’s features twisted more grotesquely, a faint trickle of blood seeping from her tightly pressed lips.

Although Bai Xi, Yin Chen, and Yuanyuan looked suffering, they were far less affected than her. Their expressions were primarily anxious.

Noticing Yin Chen about to withdraw and forcibly stop cultivating, Bai Xi abruptly opened her eyes, her black pupils instantly turning into purple-gold vertical slits. She shouted sharply, "Don’t act recklessly! If you force withdrawal now, you won’t save her; you’ll kill her!"

’Kill her!’

Three words made Yin Chen’s breath change; he opened his blood eyes, glaring cold hatred at Bai Xi.

It was as if Bai Xi was the nemesis who might kill Mu Qingge.

Bai Xi sneered coldly, "Put away such senseless looks of yours."

Yin Chen squeezed out a frosty sentence, "Since the plan wasn’t mature, you shouldn’t have voiced it."

"Any opportunity carries risks; both of us can take risks for cultivation, so why can’t Qingge? She is no less than any of us and doesn’t need extra protection!" Bai Xi scoffed.

Her words set off a tempest within Yin Chen’s crimson eyes.

At this point, Yuanyuan opened his eyes and urgently reproached the two of them, "Have you two argued enough? Can’t you see mom leader is in pain? Get to thinking of a way to help her."

"Right! You two—a snake and a fox—combined ages who knows how many years, yet less sensible than a child!" Mengmeng jumped in, addressing them.

Yuanyuan glared in dissatisfaction at the petite girl beside him, retorting, "I’m not a child!"

"Why are you arguing over this now?" Mengmeng rolled her eyes at him, her aura-filled small face turning stern, "Focus your minds and stabilize your auras now."

Bai Xi and Yin Chen’s gazes clashed fiercely in mid-air.

After the collision, she looked away, speaking deeply, "We must work together in unity if we want to help Qingge."

With that, she took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

Yin Chen glanced at her and similarly closed his eyes.

Finally, the two stopped arguing, and Yuanyuan and Mengmeng both sighed in relief.

Under the control of the three, the spiritual pressure of the third layer gradually calmed down, losing its previous frenzy. Mu Qingge seemed to feel slightly relaxed.

However, before she could take a breath, a powerful force abruptly came, fiercely striking her heart.

This power seemed to be external, not belonging to oneself, and after fiercely striking Mu Qingge’s heart, it caused a brief pause in her heartbeat, sucking all the blood back into the heart.

Mu Qingge’s breath halted, her face suddenly turned pale!

Her entire body’s meridians seemed frozen and petrified, showing some signs of cracking.

Collapse occurred in an instant!

Suddenly, in Mu Qingge’s sea of consciousness, the superpower core that belonged to the thunder power seemed to sense its master’s crisis and automatically released several blood-colored electric arcs toward Mu Qingge’s heart.

If Mu Qingge could see those blood-colored electric arcs now, she would certainly find them familiar.

These blood-colored electric arcs were the bloodline heavenly tribulation that she had previously infused into her body while helping Yin Chen with his tribulation. According to Bai Xi, this kind of bloodline heavenly tribulation is rare to appear, and once it does, it signifies the awakening of a world-shaking bloodline.

It was the appearance of the bloodline heavenly tribulation that made Bai Xi curious about Yin Chen’s origin.

But Mu Qingge did not know that such a trace of bloodline heavenly tribulation entered her body and fused with her thunder power.

The blood-colored electric arcs struck Mu Qingge’s paused heart.

The sudden electric current swiftly filled her heart, stimulating it to break out of its pause and resume beating. Blood wrapped in electric current returned to Mu Qingge’s veins.

Fizz—!

The subtle sound of electric current suddenly appeared.

Bai Xi, Yin Chen, and Yuanyuan abruptly opened their eyes, their expressions changed, discovering that the spiritual power connecting them had manifested electric current. This current penetrated their bodies, seemingly burning their blood, skin, and bones. A tingling sensation, indescribable to those who haven’t personally experienced it.

Furthermore, the electric current spreading from Mu Qingge bound them tightly, utterly inseparable.

Bai Xi’s expression flickered, this feeling had already escaped her control.

At this moment, she could only guess what was happening to Mu Qingge, but she couldn’t determine whether these changes were good or bad!

"Since we can’t separate, let’s calm down and continue cultivating." Yin Chen said to Bai Xi and Yuanyuan before closing his eyes again.

Bai Xi and Yuanyuan fell silent for a moment before closing their eyes.

The power of bloodline thunder quietly transformed Mu Qingge’s blood, seemingly activating a long-dormant potential in her genes.

This change, she was completely unaware of.

Yet, this transformation caused the Divine Strategy Upper Volume, dormant in her sea of consciousness, to react.

Divine Strategy, the strongest cultivation technique in the legendary Divine Clan.

The Upper Volume refines the body, the Middle Volume refines the spirit, and the Lower Volume contains the Three Thousand Daoist Skills, the Great Magic!

Perfectly cultivating any one of them can become incredibly powerful, intimidating countless realms. If someone could master all three volumes, they would create an unprecedented legacy, traversing the Three Thousand Minor Worlds, Three Thousand Medium Worlds, and Three Thousand Major Worlds, able to destroy or create a realm at will.

Yet, this barely remains a legend.

Because, from ancient times to the present, no person nor god has ever obtained the Upper, Middle, and Lower Volumes of Divine Strategy and mastered them.

Moreover, no one knows that the body refining method from the Divine Strategy Upper Volume originates from the Demon Clan.

Among thousands of worlds, the strongest body cultivators are the Demon Clan!

The changes in the bloodline stimulated the Divine Strategy Upper Volume to slowly unfold...

The golden characters that Mu Qingge could never see, ancient Divine Clan texts, now emitted a faint golden light, enveloping her sea of consciousness.

In an instant, Mu Qingge felt as if she had fallen into a warm ocean.

Her consciousness separated from her body, as her body continued its subtle cultivation while her consciousness entered the sea of consciousness to observe the golden lights.

Gradually, one by one, tall silhouettes began to appear in front of Mu Qingge ’s "eyes," each performing peculiar moves, fixed in her consciousness, with golden lines winding within them, resembling the paths of spiritual power operation.

Mu Qingge was shocked "looking" at all this, watching these images surrounding her.

At that moment, her brain seemed to stop working, concentrating all her mental strength on one thing—memorizing these images!

"Impossible! This is impossible! It defies common sense!"

Gradually, as Mu Qingge memorized those images and they became clearer, the sequence of the golden lines’ paths plunged her into unprecedented shock.

It was as if all previous knowledge had been shattered, like a professor seriously telling you everything you learned before was pseudo-science and what’s before you now is reality.

This impact quickly pulled Mu Qingge out from her consciousness sea.

"Um!"

Mu Qingge let out a muffled groan and freed herself from cultivation.

She slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, she had no time to enjoy the initial pleasure of experiencing four times cultivation speed, as the images etched deep in her mind were still vivid.

Her clear eyes were filled with astonishment, and her heart was rife with questions.

’Is this the secret of the Divine Strategy Upper Volume?’ Mu Qingge whispered softly. She finally understood the content of the Divine Strategy Upper Volume, but upon understanding, she became even more perplexed.

Common sense told her, if she performed body refinement according to the Divine Strategy Upper Volume, she might explode and die before even starting.

But reason told her, since Si Mo held Divine Strategy in such high regard, it surely wasn’t a deadly secret manual!

If so, Si Mo would certainly have warned strictly against its cultivation. The survivors wouldn’t have carved clues about the Divine Strategy Middle Volume on Xie Ya’s back as a pledge of allegiance to the master.

Thoughts gradually faded from Mu Qingge’s mind.

Some questions cannot be resolved in a short time.

She lifted her gaze but the sight before her made her pupils suddenly constrict in shock.

"What...what happened to you?" Mu Qingge blinked, ensuring she wasn’t seeing things, then asked in astonishment.

Before her, Bai Xi, Yin Chen, and Yuanyuan remained seated as before, unchanged from the onset of cultivation.

However, their hair stood straight, pointing skywards, emitting slight smoke and a burnt smell.

The three of them appeared as if struck by lightning, their faces blackened, devoid of their previous enchanting beauty.

Unknown when, Mengmeng appeared in the third layer, and was looking at them with a sympathetic expression.

"Do you still have the nerve to ask us?" Bai Xi looked at Mu Qingge with a resentful gaze.

Yin Chen sighed silently and averted his gaze.

Yuanyuan added, full of grievance, "Dear mother, what did Yuanyuan do wrong to deserve punishment by the power of thunder? Boohoo, I won’t play with you next time!"

"..." Mu Qingge was bewildered.

She pointed at her nose, uncertainly asking, "Me?"

She electrocuted them with thunder power? Did her thunder power go out of control during cultivation?

Mu Qingge was confused, having no memory of the dangerous sequence of events. The only thing she could recall was the images from the Divine Strategy Upper Volume in her consciousness sea.

"Electrifying us was one thing, but you wouldn’t even let go, forcing us to be at your mercy, it’s too frustrating!" Bai Xi ground her teeth, looking at Mu Qingge with a chilling gaze.

She, the dignified Ancient Holy Beast, Nine Extremes Heaven-devouring Python, was being bullied like this—it was unbearable!

"What exactly happened?" Mu Qingge asked helplessly with open hands.

"You don’t know?" Yin Chen cast a puzzled look at Mu Qingge.
