Chapter 1944

"This formation is based on human emotions. It mixes the resentment of ghosts, the selfishness of demons, and human dreams. It focuses on feelings. This must be the Heart Refining Array. If normal cultivators were here, they would see normal trials. It tests human nature and character. So, it is the Heart Refining Array," Zhu Yanyi analyzed.

"Since you guessed what formation it is, can you break it?" Ouyang Tianyun asked.

Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "Yes. It is just refining the heart. You all know I am a Heart Cultivator. I am not afraid of heart refinement. So, do not overthink it. Just destroy what is in your heart."

Zhu Yanyi bit her ten fingers. She then flicked a drop of blood in each of the four directions: east, south, west, and north.

The blood drops looked like red pearls floating in the air. They slowly moved outward, growing larger. Finally, they looked like red balloons. The air inside became too full. With a pop, they turned into red mist and scattered in the air.

Then, the surrounding environment seemed to shrink back like a video being paused.

When Zhu Yanyi looked around clearly, she raised her eyebrows slightly. They were actually in a spacious cave. There was no one else. Not far away, there was a protruding rock. It was surrounded by seven-colored light. Upon closer inspection, the light came from a small stone on top, about the size of a thumb nail.

"Is this the Chaos Stone?" Zhu Yanyi spotted it immediately. Then she added, "In that case, the path Zhan Diting arranged earlier, making Senior Brother and others wait, was a joke. We could have seen this stone as soon as we arrived here. Why rush at all?"

Yan Aohan heard the complaint in Zhu Yanyi's words. He smiled slightly and said, "Well, even Zhan Diting did not discover this was a formation. According to the route she gave, they could also find this Chaos Stone. You have the map given by this stone. This place is its territory. It rules its own domain."

Zhu Yanyi chuckled twice. It was an interesting Chaos Stone. However, she only said it casually and did not take it too seriously. She asked, "So, what do we do next?"

Yan Aohan glanced at Hong Mei. "Next is Fairy Hong Mei's matter. Neither you nor I can help."

Zhu Yanyi understood Yan Aohan's meaning. She looked at Hong Mei and said, "Senior Sister Hong Mei, good luck." She made a cheering gesture with her hand.

Hong Mei nodded slightly. She looked at Yan Aohan, then at Zhu Yanyi, and smiled broadly. "Rest assured. For Fat Senior Brother, I will not let anything happen to me."

After speaking, Hong Mei walked slowly toward the Chaos Stone.

She walked carefully with every step. She worried about startling the Chaos Stone. If she did, the result would be unknown. So, she was very careful. At least, she could not let the Chaos Stone reject her at this moment.

She missed her Fat Senior Brother in her heart. If Senior Brother were here, she probably would not be so nervous. She seemed to see Fat Senior Brother's face.

"Fat Senior Brother." She reached out her hand.

Fat Senior Brother looked at her, her eyes full of tenderness, as if inviting her to come over.

Hong Mei looked at Fat Senior Brother, her eyes hazy and longing. "It has been three years. I have missed you all along, Fat Senior Brother. I thought you would always protect me. But I miss you. However, my Fat Senior Brother, although she treats me very well, would never let me retreat or escape. So, go away! Damn illusion! Do not allow you to deceive me using Fat Senior Brother."

With the word "go away," Hong Mei's eyes became clear.

Originally, seeing Hong Mei's hazy expression, Zhu Yanyi was slightly worried. But she could not help Hong Mei. This was the Chaos Stone's test for her. Only she could pass it herself. The Chaos Stone now had intelligence. It wanted to tease its host. No one could help. So, even though Zhu Yanyi knew Hong Mei was trapped in an illusion, the only thing she could do was watch Hong Mei struggle.

However, she did not expect Hong Mei to break the illusion herself. With a flash of thought, she understood. Hong Mei could do this because her feelings were deep. Her love for her Fat Senior Brother was profound. Only those who truly understand deep love would not mistake their beloved.

Zhu Yanyi turned to look at Yan Aohan. "I will not mistake you either."

Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "Yes, I will not mistake you either."

Yan Aohan also saw Hong Mei's deep love. He felt emotional. Because of this, he felt a desire to help Fairy Hong Mei. Perhaps it was love by association. Perhaps he saw the shadow of his own deep love for Zhu Yanyi in her. He also saw the shadow of himself losing Zhu Yanyi in the past.

Only after losing something can one understand how rare everything they possess now is. So, Yan Aohan felt moved. Helping a little was not impossible.

Hong Mei's eyes were clear and firm. She walked forward step by step, with no distractions. She just walked forward. The path seemed to be less than fifty meters, but she walked every step very carefully. She knew that each step represented her lover's hope. She hoped she could reincarnate smoothly. Then, she would find her again.

This time, the Chaos Stone did not make things difficult anymore. Perhaps it was stunned by the sudden burst of aura from Hong Mei. So, it did not move. By the time it wanted to move, Hong Mei was already in front of it.

Yan Aohan saw that it was about time. "Drop your heart's blood on the Chaos Stone."

Hong Mei nodded slightly, without any doubt. She casually passed a dagger through her hand. A stream of blood came out, the essence of her heart's pulse. The blood splashed onto the Chaos Stone. The Chaos Stone was wrapped by the blood. Instantly, it drilled into her body. Then, Hong Mei fell to the side.

Before everyone could go over to check the reason, they felt the area start shaking continuously. It was like an eight-magnitude earthquake, shaking constantly, making it hard to stand. Cracks appeared on the ground around them.

"Will this space collapse?" Zhu Yanyi asked worriedly.

Yan Aohan shook his head slightly. With a wave of his hand, an invisible light covered the people here. "There will be no problem. This is the phenomenon of the Chaos Stone recognizing its master. However, the situation here has already alerted the ghosts from before. I am afraid other ghosts will come to attack."

"Then let's capture them?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. "You are the Lord of the Underworld. You decide."

Yan Aohan smiled gently. He looked at Ouyang Tianyun. "Someone sent me a message recently, saying that book is with you. Can you use it?"
