Chapter 111 Tiaotiao, I'm coming to be with you.
In fact, Duan Chaoxu didn't care when the light appeared, because his attention was on Lin Bihua in his arms.
But as the light engulfed them, Duan Chaoxu suddenly found himself unable to move. No matter how hard he tried, he remained in the same position.
He could hear Lin Bihua's weak cries, see blood trickling from the corner of her lips after each cry, and feel her trembling slightly in his arms.
Duan Chenke's eyes were filled with anxiety and helplessness, and his heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife, but he could only watch helplessly as Lin Bihua's condition worsened.
The light grew brighter and brighter, but Duan Chaoxu couldn't close his eyes at all, and besides, he didn't want to. Under the intense light, a layer of mist appeared in his eyes, eventually condensing into a tear that fell onto Lin Bihua.
The moment the tears fell on Lin Bihua, Duan Chaoxu felt a lightness in his arms and saw Lin Bihua's body become more and more transparent, finally turning into a speck of light and dissipating in the light.
No!
At that moment, Duan Chaoxu seemed to break through the barrier and shouted loudly.
So far!
Duan Chaoxu stood forlornly in the light, murmuring Lin Bihua's name. Suddenly, he felt his body lighten, and looking down, he realized he was also slowly turning into specks of light, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
Tiaotiao, I've come to be with you.
Subsequently, more and more light spots appeared, and eventually Duan Chaoxu lost all consciousness.
"Axu!"
"Wake up, Asu."
In his semi-conscious state, Duan Chaoxu seemed to hear Lin Bihua's voice.
Tiaotiao was calling him.
Duan Chaoxu struggled to open his eyes and found himself lying in an unfamiliar place, with Lin Bihua beside him looking anxious.
"Tiaotiao!" Ignoring his discomfort, Duan Chaoxu sat up and pulled Lin Bihua into a tight embrace.
"I'm fine now, don't worry. Look at me if you don't believe me." Lin Bihua hugged Duan Chaoxu back. She knew that Duan Chaoxu's anxiety came from her, so she gently patted Duan Chaoxu's back and softly comforted him.
Hearing Lin Bihua's personal assurance, Duan Chaoxu's mood gradually calmed down.
He released Lin Bihua and looked at the person in front of him, who was still wearing the familiar purple clothes, but without any bloodstains. Even his complexion was very rosy, and there was no sign of his previous injury.
"How is this going?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Lin Bihua tilted her head and grinned mischievously, then quickly pulled out a stone from behind her and, to Duan Chaoxu's bewildered look, slammed it directly into his heart.
However, the imagined pain did not come.
The stone in Lin Bihua's hand instantly turned into a ray of light and pierced into Duan Chaoxu's heart when it touched him.
In an instant, Duan Chaoxu unleashed a fierce aura. His eyes were closed, and he hovered in mid-air. The mark on his forehead flashed, emitting a bright orange light that was striking but not blinding, giving people a warm feeling.
Lin Bihua, who had her memories awakened first, stood not far away, staring at the mark between Duan Chaoxu's eyebrows. She seemed to have thought of something and revealed a nostalgic smile.
A moment later, the light dimmed, and Duan Chaoxu returned to the ground, slowly opening his eyes. He looked at Lin Bihua walking towards him, his eyes filled with tender affection.
"Tiaotiao, it's been a long time." Duan Chaoxu's voice was filled with tenderness and longing.
"Yes, it's been a long time," Lin Bihua replied with a smile.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to a time long ago, a time when those beautiful memories were still vivid in their hearts.
Duan Chaoxu gently grasped Lin Bihua's hand, his eyes shining with unwavering determination, as if he were telling her something. Lin Bihua sensed Duan Chaoxu's affection, smiled slightly, and her eyes were also filled with tenderness.
"I never imagined that the Seven Star Stones, which people flock to, would be part of my memories." Duan Chaoxu shook his head, a mocking smile on his face.
"You remember everything?" Lin Bihua asked softly.
Duan Chaoxu nodded. The moment the light pierced his heart, all his memories flooded back to him.
That great battle a thousand years ago,
Brothers whose lives are hanging by a thread
The Heavenly Emperor couldn't bear to do it.
He is now the Prince of Ning, Duan Chaoxu, and also the Heavenly Pivot Immortal Lord, the head of the seven immortal lords in the Arctic Palace.
"However, why did you also descend to the mortal realm?" Duan Chaoxu looked at Lin Bihua with some confusion, after all, before he entered the Mirror Heaven, he had specifically asked the Queen Mother of the West to take care of Tiao Tiao.
(Aside: For those unfamiliar with the great war a thousand years ago and the Mirror Heaven, you can reread Chapter 45, which describes it in detail when Li Hengzhi was unsealed.)
“Emmm,” Lin Bihua’s eyes darted around, and she explained in a low voice, “Si Ming told me that you would have to undergo a love tribulation in the mortal realm, so the two of us grabbed Ji Yue and followed you into the Mirror Heaven.”
Duan Chaoxu looked at Lin Bihua, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and smiled knowingly. "It seems that my tribulation of love was very successful. However, you have also lost your memories. This must have been done by the Heavenly Emperor. I think it was to cover for you and prevent the Heavenly Dao from discovering it."
Lin Bihua nodded. "You're right. We only received the Heavenly Emperor's message after the three of us jumped into the Mirror Heaven. At that time, there was no way to deal with the situation, so we could only take it one step at a time."
“But I’m a little worried about Ji Yue.” Lin Bihua sighed, her eyes filled with unconcealed worry. “Si Ming’s memories should be sealed with Yu Heng, just like mine. When Yu Heng regains his memories, Si Ming will also regain them. But Ji Yue is different. I’m afraid he won’t be able to regain his memories, which might affect his return to the Heavenly Realm.”
"There's no chance of anything going wrong. Don't worry, the Heavenly Emperor won't leave Jiyue alone in the mortal realm." Duan Chaoxu gave Lin Bihua a reassuring look.
Lin Bihua thought of the relationship between the Heavenly Emperor and Ji Yue, and how he usually protected Ji Yue like the apple of his eye, and suddenly felt that her worries were a bit unnecessary.
"Now that you have regained your memories, are you aware of the situation of the other immortal lords in the Arctic Palace?" Lin Bihua asked.
Duan Chaoxu closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, then opened them, shook his head and sighed, "Except for Yuheng, the other five stars are still dim."
"Yuheng!" Lin Bihua repeated excitedly, "If Yuheng has regained her memories, then it means that Siming has also regained her memories. That's wonderful!"
"Is there any way to pinpoint Yuheng and the others' exact location?"
Duan Chaoxu shook his head. Even though he longed to see his brothers as soon as possible, the starlight of Yuheng Star was weak, and it seemed to be some distance away from them.
"Is there any way to get in touch with them?"
Duan Chaoxu did not answer, but instead asked, "Has your magic power been restored?"
"Of course...no." Lin Bihua raised her hand and made a hand seal, but it only flashed for a moment and then disappeared.
"What happened? My magic power has only recovered by 20%? Has yours recovered?"
Duan Chaoxu: "Mine hasn't fully recovered either. It might only be possible to recover after all seven of us regain our memories."
Lin Bihua sighed, "Although my magic power has not fully recovered, my physical skills and internal strength have improved, which is a blessing in disguise."
Duan Chaoxu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Bihua and asked, "Do you still remember the legend of the Seven Star Stone?"
Lin Bihua nodded. "Of course I remember."
"Rumor has it that if we collect all seven Seven Star Stones, we can unlock a treasure of heaven and earth, and even ascend to immortality through a map inside. So I suspect that the location on that map is where our magical powers are sealed."
After listening to Duan Chaoxu's analysis, Lin Bihua nodded in agreement.
"In that case, we must not let outsiders open the sealing formation, otherwise the Seven Star Stones will be taken away by others, and the other Immortal Lords will not be able to recover their memories."
Duan Chaoxu frowned slightly as he recalled the phenomena he witnessed after being tied up and waking up: "But now it seems that the mysterious person has already found a way to unseal the great formation, or rather, is already putting it into practice."
"What method?" Lin Bihua asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Built with human blood".
"What! How could this be..." Lin Bihua was shocked; this method was far too bloody and cruel.
Duan Chaoxu let out a cold laugh, "The Seven Star Stones fell to earth to bring peace to the world, but now they have become the culprits that harm humanity."
Lin Bihua shook her head indifferently: "In fact, greed is the real culprit that harms humanity."
Duan Chaoxu patted Lin Bihua on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't think about it anymore, let's go out first. Do you think we'll still be in the same place when we leave?"
Lin Bihua clasped her hands together, "I hope I don't end up in the same place. I don't want to run into my parents-in-law again."
"Don't worry about that. This void seems to be able to set its own origin."
Duan Chaoxu took Lin Bihua's hand and asked softly, "You make the choice."
"Let me think." After a moment of thought, Lin Bihua silently recited the location in her mind. In an instant, the two of them transformed into starlight and disappeared into nothingness, then appeared in the real world.
"What is this?" Duan Chaoxu looked around at his surroundings as soon as he came out, not expecting that he was still in the back mountain of Shaolin Temple.
"Why didn't you leave directly?" Duan Chaoxu asked with a smile.
"How can we watch the show if we leave now?" Lin Bihua's bright eyes darted around, and she smiled cleverly.
"We've finally unsealed the great formation that the mysterious man had been so eager to break. Guess what he'll do next? Maybe he'll even make some new discoveries."
Duan Chaoxu felt that Lin Bihua's words made a lot of sense. After discussing it, the two of them headed back towards the cave where the great formation had just appeared.
The two proceeded cautiously, fearing discovery. However, upon reaching the vicinity of the cave, they found the bodies of men in black lying on the ground outside.
"Could someone have come in?" Lin Bihua roughly examined the wounds of the man in black.
Knife wounds, sword wounds, and scars from other weapons.
"I'm afraid I've been missing for too long, and Ake and the others have come looking for me. Let's go into the cave."
The two took the soft swords from their waists, gripped them tightly in their hands, and headed back towards the cave.
As expected, they encountered Xuan Yi, Duan Chenke, and others in the cave, defeated the enemy, and everyone safely left the Shaolin Temple backyard.
----------------
Duan Chaoxu's secret was too big and too unbelievable, so after discussing it with Lin Bihua, he decided to keep it a secret from Duan Chenke and everyone else.
However, after sharing my thoughts with you all today, it seems I've gained something else as well.
"Today, Ayan said that when the great formation in Fengqi Mountain in Wuzhou was unsealed, his elder brother was right there. Could it be that Ayan's elder brother is Yuheng?" Lin Bihua asked with some excitement.
Duan Chaoxu thought back to when Gu Yan's older brother told them the "truth"—he had also used the excuse of fainting—and suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
"I can't be 100% sure, but there should be some connection."
Lin Bihua rested her chin on her hand, her face full of longing. "I wonder when Ayan's older brother will come back. I really want to see him. I also wonder if Siming is with Yuheng."
"Don't worry, we will definitely meet again."
"Well, it will definitely happen."
Lin Bihua nodded solemnly.
"Not only us, but Huajing, Shaoyan, Rongzheng, Chengling and Lin Fan will definitely meet again."
