Chapter 111

Bai Yu, a silent stealthy infiltrator.

She fully runs the "Azure Lotus Heavenly Heart Technique", carefully hiding every trace of her breath and every sign of movement.

This time Bai Yu has made up her mind to get a clear answer!

Otherwise she won't be able to sleep soundly.

Moving at an even pace, Bai Yu didn't immediately rush toward the direction where Mu Shen was departing; she appeared extremely cautious.

She doesn't dare to be careless at all.

After taking a big detour, Bai Yu finally turned toward the direction where Mu Shen was heading, looking as if she were just strolling, unintentionally heading that way.

Along the way, Bai Yu encountered no mishaps, but just as she was thrilled, she suddenly found her body unable to move.

Her whole body was enveloped by an extremely powerful celestial aura, as if the surrounding air had turned solid.

Bai Yu stood there like a stone statue, motionless, and her excited heart instantly turned into dead water.

"Master, I was just wandering around; why did you imprison me? Are you trying to do something bad to your own disciple?" Bai Yu, in a dying struggle, blurted out an accusation at her master.

Bai Yuan, his face dark, flew down from the sky, reached out and grabbed the immobile Bai Yu by the ear, saying, "What can you hide from me within the Five Elements Formation? Don't think I don't know what you're planning!"

"Master, you're a voyeur!" Bai Yu said, extremely displeased.

Bai Yuan was angry, but his fury vanished in an instant.

Because he knew very well that Bai Yu was just jealous.

Bai Yuan released his hold on Bai Yu, letting go of her ear, then gently pinched her little face and said helplessly, "Alright, Xiao Yu, there's nothing more to be curious about; I'll tell you later."

"Really?" Bai Yu was delighted.

In fact, after impulsively saying that, she immediately regretted it; after all, how could a disciple speak to the master like that?

But to retract her words, Bai Yu hesitated.

She even prepared herself for the Master's anger.

To Bai Yu's surprise, Bai Yuan actually replied like this—not only without anger, but also promised to tell her later.

"When have I ever deceived you?" Bai Yuan laughed.

"Xiao Yu likes the Master the most!" Bai Yu spread her arms, hugged Bai Yuan's hand, and her little face nuzzled against his arm.

Bai Yuan was speechless; ever since he had been tangled with Mu Junwu's wooden body, he didn't know how to answer Bai Yu's declaration of affection.

Bai Yu, like a kitten, happily nuzzled for a dozen seconds, then lifted her head, her beautiful wine‑red eyes looking at Bai Yuan, and said, "Master, has Junwu mastered the duplication technique? I feel she has changed a lot compared to before."

Bai Yuan recounted the events of the Abyss War, Mu Junwu's transformation, and, after feigning death and returning, the episode of confronting the King of Slaughter.

"To be honest, it was my mistake; I didn't expect Junwu couldn't withstand the five scriptures," a faint dimness flashed in Bai Yuan's eyes.

Given the current situation, it's hard to say whether Mu Junwu can achieve unification, especially the final step of unifying the Five Classics, which would turn them entirely into his own.

Bai Yu tugged at Bai Yuan's sleeve and said, "Master, there's no need to blame yourself; although it's Junwu's crisis, it's also her opportunity. You should know, the chance she got makes me die of envy."

"Obviously, they were all ordinary plants transformed; she first had the Five Elements Formation to aid cultivation, then massive life energy to complete the metamorphosis, plus the five supreme techniques you taught, Master."

As she spoke, Bai Yu's tone shifted from consolation to jealousy—jealousy of Mu Junwu's opportunity, and a jealousy tinged with Bai Yuan's own self‑blame over his concern.

Bai Yuan, with one hand as before, lifted Bai Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, what is there to envy? When you later transform into a Chaotic Azure Lotus, won't it be stronger than Junwu's Five‑Elements Tree?"

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yuan and couldn't help teasing, "Master, turning into a Chaotic Azure Lotus isn't that easy."

Bai Yuan extended a finger, teasing like a child, and laughed at Bai Yu, "What does it all require? I'll get it for you."

Bai Yu couldn't stop laughing, grabbed Bai Yuan's hand, and halted him, saying, "The first step is easy—completing the Yin and Yang."

"But the final step requires waiting until the universe's extinction, merging the entire cosmos's merit, karma, destiny, and so on to achieve the transformation."

Bai Yuan was a bit stunned by what he heard.

After the Chaotic Azure Lotus splits, it becomes the 36‑grade Genesis Azure Lotus, the 12‑grade Merit Golden Lotus, the 12‑grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, the 12‑grade World‑Ending Black Lotus, and so on.

According to Bai Yu, one must obtain everything in this universe to truly become a Chaotic Azure Lotus.

After thinking it over, Bai Yuan worried Bai Yu might have misunderstood, so he asked, "Xiao Yu, aren't all things in heaven and earth already possessing Yin and Yang? Why is there still a need to complete them?"

Bai Yu replied, "The Chaotic Azure Lotus is born from chaos, having no Yin or Yang, neither male nor female. When you, Master, first let me take form, you ruined the innate fruit, turning the disciple into a female body, which is Yin‑biased, so it needs to be completed."

Bai Yuan understood.

He asked, "How does one complete the Yin and Yang?"

"Master, give the disciple a pure Yang object, or destroy the disciple's original Yin and take the Master's original Yang; either works."

At first, Bai Yu's tone and expression were very proper, but later her gaze turned somewhat mischievous.

"Pure Yang object?" Bai Yuan murmured, and immediately typed 'Pure Yang object' into the system mall's search box.

In an instant, various items appeared one by one.

These items ranged in price; the cheap ones cost only a hundred Cultivation Merit points, like Pure Yang Flowers, while the expensive ones reach tens of millions or even billions, and the ten‑thousand‑point items only caught Bai Yuan's eye briefly.

"Xiao Yu, what grade of Pure Yang object do you need?" Bai Yuan, unable to decide, asked his disciple.

Completing Yin and Yang is to achieve balance, so the grade of the Pure Yang object must be neither too high nor too low—it must be appropriate.

Bai Yu shook her head and said, "How could I possibly know?"

Bai Yuan was speechless.

But thinking about it, it's correct; Bai Yu has never seen those Pure Yang objects, how could she possibly know what grade she needs?

Bai Yu giggled, "Master, why don't you bring out all the items so I can choose properly?"

Bai Yuan was at a loss for how to answer; how could he bring out everything from the system mall for Bai Yu to peruse?

If he got it wrong, it would waste Cultivation Merit points.

Although spending a hundred, a few hundred, even a thousand or several thousand Cultivation Merit points is easy, Bai Yuan now only has 120,000 points; buying a Pure Yang object worth tens of thousands points makes it impossible to afford a hundred‑thousand‑point one.

"Master, you wouldn't be reluctant to show the treasure to your disciple, would you?" Bai Yu, sitting on Bai Yuan's hand, tilted her head and smiled.

Bai Yuan's eyes flickered as he said, "I can only bring out items a limited number of times now; using those chances on this would be a waste."

Bai Yu didn't ask for the reason; she simply smiled, "Looks like we'll have to use the second method: I'll take the Master's original Yang and give you my original Yin."
