When Bu Liuliqing saw Su Cixuan’s expression undergo such a drastic change, he immediately developed a bad premonition.
Then, noticing that Su Cixuan kept staring fixedly at his chest yet without a shred of lewd intent, as if trying to gaze straight through him that expression appeared extremely gloomy and dark, deep within his eyes looking as though a terrifying storm was brewing.
“What’s wrong? Did it not succeed? Even if it didn’t succeed, there’s no need to make a face like that; at worst, we can just start over,” Bu Liuliqing even began comforting Su Cixuan.
Su Cixuan remained silent throughout, his gaze sharp and focused. Yet Bu Liuliqing never felt a shred of malice, nor did he find Su Cixuan’s terrifying expression frightening; instead… it stirred up a sense of worry within him. Could it be that Old Su wouldn’t be able to retrieve his half-life after all?
If that were the case, he would just ask Old Su to refine him into a puppet and be done with it. As for soul reincarnation, he could let Old Su figure something out anyway, Bu Liuliqing truly had zero intention of squatting on half of Su Cixuan’s life and half of his lifetime cultivation.
“Liuliqing, a corner of the heart in this physical body of yours is missing. If any other part of your current body were incomplete, I’d have a way to help you patch it up, and then nourish your body through your soul for a gradual replacement. But the heart—the very root of life—once it is incomplete, there is no other method except to find it back.” Su Cixuan had never imagined that the heart of this physical body would turn out to be missing a piece.
Because Bu Liuliqing’s condition was so stable, he had never suspected any issues with his heart.
Yet at this crucial juncture when he was about to officially begin step by step to nourish Bu Liuliqing’s body through his soul such a severe problem had come to light.
“What did you say? A corner of this physical body’s heart is missing… Wait, let me think. Oh, I remember…” Bu Liuliqing recalled how the major villain Bu Liuqing had died.
He had been eliminated by the joint forces of the two male leads, and then… they had obtained the key to opening the passage to the cultivation realm from Bu Liuqing’s body.
The key…
The novel seemed to have described that key as being on Bu Liuqing’s person, or rather, both male leads simultaneously attacked Bu Liuqing and extracted it directly from his body.
Could that key happen to be the missing corner of Bu Liuqing’s heart?
Could things possibly be any more absurd than this?
“What did you think of?” Su Cixuan asked, noticing how Bu Liuliqing’s expression kept shifting dramatically.
Bu Liuliqing looked at Su Cixuan and began recounting what had once happened to the original owner of this physical body. Although he couldn’t explain that he had transmigrated into a book, even if it were a book, it was currently a real world; Bu Liuliqing didn’t view this world as simple.
There were taboos preventing him from revealing his origins, why he came, or what kind of world he had arrived in, but that didn’t prevent him from briefly outlining Bu Liuqing’s life to explain the original cause and effect to Su Cixuan.
“That missing corner of the heart is within that previously sealed continent.” After finishing Bu Liuliqing’s narrative, Su Cixuan asked the crucial question.
“If only it were that simple. If I remember correctly, right before Bu Liuqing’s consciousness completely dissipated, he heard those two people say that using the power of the key, the passage had already been opened, and they were going to push the key’s function to its absolute limit. The key itself is an extremely formidable treasure, so they wanted to keep it by their side as a source of assistance, as well as a reminder a reminder that traveling to the cultivation realm was no easy feat, something to be constantly kept in mind, urging themselves to overcome all obstacles along the path of cultivation.” Bu Liuliqing didn’t hide anything from Su Cixuan at all.
Anyway, he simply told Su Cixuan whatever he knew and could express.
“So the missing corner of this physical body’s heart is still in the hands of those two people.”
“Mm.”
“It seems there is a necessity to take you to the Realm of Fortune for a trip.” Su Cixuan stated.
“The Realm of Fortune… Could that be the cultivation realm?” Bu Liuliqing’s focal points were always a bit strange.
“Mm. But the Realm of Fortune is also a general term; it consists of several continents compiled together. I just don’t know which continent’s passage was opened by that sealed continent.” Su Cixuan already had a plan forming in his mind.
Once they left this place, he would make a separate trip back to that sealed continent to check which specific cultivation realm continent it connected to.
This matter was something Su Cixuan didn’t mention to Bu Liuliqing.
Such a trivial affair was something he could investigate swiftly on his own.
As for Liuliqing, he could just wait patiently in the Wuchen Palace.
Su Cixuan reflected on the fact that he hadn’t set foot in the Realm of Fortune for several millennia, never expecting that he would have to make a trip there now solely because of Bu Liuliqing. He just wondered what kind of attitude the Realm of Fortune would hold toward his sudden appearance.
