Chapter 653 Memory Strangulation
In that mysterious and dangerous mirror world, Yun Yao was like being in the center of a storm. Everything around her was collapsing and shattering, turning into deadly blades, madly twisting towards her. Every flying fragment carried a force that was enough to destroy her mental defenses, like a curse from the abyss, vowing to drag her into endless darkness.
Outside the mirror, Chu Mochen was extremely anxious, his eyes burning with anxiety and determination. Seeing Yun Yao in danger in the mirror, he rushed to the rock-hard mirror wall without hesitation, trying to use his own strength to force his way in and rescue Yun Yao from the desperate situation. However, the mirror wall seemed to have life, and after sensing his intention, it instantly burst out with a suffocatingly powerful rebound force, ruthlessly knocking him out. Chu Mochen fell to the ground, but immediately got up. His palm was scratched due to excessive force, and blood oozed out, but he didn't feel any pain at all, just staring at Yun Yao in the mirror with his eyes full of unwillingness and worry.
At this moment, Yun Yao was suffering from unprecedented pain. Every time those dense fragments like raindrops scratched her skin, they would bring up a string of blood beads. What was even more terrifying was that every wound was like a door to hell. The memories of her past life were like a surging tide, pouring into her mind uncontrollably and crazily.
She saw herself as Su Yao, in a cold and metallic modern laboratory. Surrounded by instruments flashing with strange lights, a group of researchers in white coats were busy shuttling between them, their faces were either indifferent or enthusiastic, and she was trapped in a huge glass cabin, connected to countless pipes of varying thicknesses, and all kinds of data were jumping wildly on the screen. It was a crazy genetic experiment that transcended the boundaries of time and space, and she was actually one of the experimental subjects.
Yun Yao was filled with endless shock and confusion. She could never have imagined that her past life experience would be inextricably linked to the mysterious awakening of the Hongmeng bloodline. These memories were like sharp daggers, stirring in her mind wantonly, causing her to have a splitting headache and almost faint.
Just when she was about to be completely swallowed up by the pain, the cold mechanical voice of the system sounded at an inopportune time. However, this time, it was filled with unprecedented panic: "Warning! The host's memory fusion degree is 87%, and the spiritual sea is about to collapse!" This voice was like a death warrant, making Yun Yao realize that she was standing on the edge of the cliff of life and death. If she could not find a way to deal with it in time, not only would she be wiped out, but she might also implicate the people around her and the truth of the Hongmeng clan, which had finally been revealed, and sink into darkness forever.
At this critical moment, Yun Yao relied on her tenacious will to endure the severe pain and tried to calm her chaotic thoughts. She knew that blindly escaping and fear would not solve the problem. Only by facing the surging torrent of memories could she find a glimmer of hope. A trace of determination flashed in her eyes, as if she had made some kind of resolution.
Suddenly, Yun Yao had a sudden inspiration, and a bold and crazy idea formed in her mind. She recalled the genetic knowledge she had learned in her previous life. The complex gene sequences, cell structures, and various cutting-edge theories shone in her mind like bright stars. At the same time, she keenly realized that these modern scientific knowledge and the spiritual power she had comprehended in the world of cultivation actually had some subtle commonalities.
Just like two parallel rivers, at this moment, due to the arrangement of fate, they are about to merge and explode with shocking power. Yun Yao made a prompt decision. She closed her eyes, abandoned all external interference, and immersed her whole mind in the sea of consciousness. In that deep and boundless sea of consciousness, the storm raged, and memory fragments rushed like meteorites, while Yun Yao stood in it like a fearless hero.
She began to mobilize the power of cultivation in her body, turning it into strands of spiritual consciousness, carefully wrapping up those blade-like memory fragments. At the same time, she used the knowledge of modern genetics to build a strange and mysterious "memory furnace". This furnace seemed to be a technological miracle from the future, and it also exuded the mysterious charm of ancient cultivation. Every "brick and stone" of it was Yun Yao's profound understanding and integration of the two knowledge systems.
Under Yun Yao's control, those crazy memory fragments were slowly introduced into the "Memory Furnace". At first, the fragments were still struggling desperately, trying to break through the shackles of the divine consciousness and continue their journey of destruction, but Yun Yao gritted her teeth, increased the output of spiritual power, and continuously strengthened the furnace's barriers. As time went on, the resistance of the fragments gradually weakened, and they began to blend and transform with each other in the furnace. The originally sharp edges were gradually smoothed and turned into soft and mysterious lights.
Yun Yao's forehead was covered with sweat, her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes were becoming more determined. She knew that she was racing against time and fighting against fate. If she failed, she would be doomed. Finally, with her unremitting efforts, the last piece of memory fragment was successfully refined and absorbed. At that moment, the entire sea of consciousness seemed to be shrouded in a sacred light, and the originally violent energy gradually subsided, replaced by a deep and peaceful power, which slowly flowed in Yun Yao's body.
In the outside world, as Yun Yao successfully integrated her memories, the Mirror City that was suspended above the Mirror Abyss also collapsed. A huge roar echoed between heaven and earth, raising dust all over the sky. After the dust settled, Yun Yao slowly opened her eyes. In her palm, there was a translucent star track pattern. The pattern seemed to contain the mysteries of the universe, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
Yun Yao raised her head and met Chu Mochen's eyes outside the mirror. At that moment, without words, they could feel each other's relief and joy. Chu Mochen walked quickly to Yun Yao and gently embraced her in his arms, as if he was embracing the whole world.
"Yao'er, I'm so glad you're okay." Chu Mochen's voice trembled slightly, with gratitude for surviving the disaster and deep concern for Yun Yao.
Yun Yao leaned in his arms, feeling his strong heartbeat, her heart filled with warmth and peace of mind. "I'm fine, Brother Chu, but the secrets behind this are getting more and more complicated." She said softly, looking into the distance. There was the unknown Hongmeng Road, full of challenges and dangers, but at this moment, with Chu Mochen by her side, she had the courage and strength in her heart to face all the unknowns.
After a short rest, Yun Yao knew that they could not stay here for too long. Although the Mirror Abyss was full of dangers, it also hid key clues about the future of the Hongmeng Clan. She took a deep breath, broke free from Chu Mochen's arms, and her eyes rekindled her determination to fight.
"Brother Chu, let's continue. I must uncover the secret of this Hongmeng fragment." Yun Yao said. Although her voice was soft, it revealed her unquestionable determination.
Chu Mochen nodded slightly, holding the sword tightly in his hand, and stood side by side with Yun Yao. "Okay, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I will accompany you."
The two smiled at each other, then turned around and walked towards the depths of Mirror Abyss. Behind them were the ruins of the collapsed Mirror City, and in front of them was an even more mysterious unknown area, waiting for them to explore and conquer. As they went deeper, the fog around them became thicker, like an invisible beast, ready to devour them at any time, but Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not hesitate at all. They were like two sharp swords, cutting through the darkness and bravely moving towards the truth.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of them, like a beacon in the darkness, attracting them. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other and quickened their pace. When they got closer, they found that the light came from an ancient altar. On the altar, a bronze stone box lay quietly in the center, surrounded by mysterious runes, as if guarding some precious treasure.
Yun Yao's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She had a strong premonition that the stone box might contain the fragments of the Hongmeng scroll that they had been dreaming of. She walked up to the altar carefully, stretched out her hand, and slowly touched the stone box. At the moment when her fingertips touched the stone box, the runes on the stone box suddenly lit up, a soft light flashed, and a line of small words appeared at the beginning of the scroll: "The eighteenth generation saint of the Hongmeng clan, Yun Lan, left a letter for Yun Yao."
Seeing this line of words, Yun Yao's eyes were instantly moist. Although she already had some vague understanding of her life experience, at this moment, when she really saw the handwriting left by her mother, the feeling of blood connection became stronger, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in her heart, including longing, sadness, and a desire for the truth.
"This is my mother's handwriting..." Yun Yao whispered softly, with a hint of sob in her voice.
Chu Mochen walked up to her and patted her shoulder gently, giving her silent comfort. At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Be careful! This is the blood sacrifice fragment, and it needs to be activated with heart blood!"
Before he finished speaking, the ground around the altar suddenly cracked, and black mists gushed out like poisonous snakes, quickly condensing in the air and transforming into ferocious ghosts. These ghosts were erratic, exuding a creepy aura. They bared their fangs and claws and pounced towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, howling miserably: "Outsiders, how dare you covet the Hongmeng sacred object? Take your life!"
Yun Yao was shocked, but at this moment, she had no way out. She looked at the evil spirits rushing towards her, and then looked at the handwriting left by her mother on the stone box. A trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She gritted her teeth, slowly raised her right hand, and pointed her fingertips at her heart.
"Brother Chu, this is the clue my mother left me. I must get the fragment no matter what." Yun Yao said in a firm and resolute voice.
Chu Mochen wanted to dissuade her, but he knew that once Yun Yao made up her mind, no one could change it. He could only hold the sword tightly in his hand, stand in front of Yun Yao, and be ready to resist all dangers for her.
Yun Yao took a deep breath, and then suddenly stabbed her fingertips into her heart. Instantly, a stream of golden red blood gushed out and splashed on the fragments. At the moment when the blood touched the fragments, a strange thing happened. Those evil spirits that had been rushing towards her frantically suddenly seemed to be frightened by some powerful force and stopped their movements. Their faces showed expressions of pain and struggle, and then they all cried out in grief: "Saint Lady, save the Hongmeng people!"
As the evil spirits wailed, the fragments slowly unfolded, and a mysterious and vast star map appeared in front of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. On the star map, the stars twinkled and the light intertwined, as if it contained the laws of the operation of all things in the universe. In the center of the star map, a striking mark was particularly eye-catching - "Tianxu Sea Eye".
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were shocked when they looked at the star map. They knew that behind the star map, there must be a shocking secret related to the rise and fall of the Hongmeng tribe, and the mysterious "Eye of the Sky Ruins Sea" might be the key place they were going to next.
"Brother Chu, it seems that our journey is far from over." Yun Yao put away the remaining scroll, turned to Chu Mochen and said, her eyes revealing determination and expectation.
Chu Mochen nodded slightly. He held Yun Yao's hand and felt the warmth of her palm. "No matter what awaits us ahead, I will face it with you and never leave you."
The two of them walked down the altar hand in hand and headed out of the Mirror Abyss. Behind them, the light on the altar gradually dimmed, as if an era was coming to an end, but Yun Yao and Chu Mochen knew in their hearts that they were about to embark on a more magnificent journey. For the future of the Hongmeng Clan and for the truth of this world, they would move forward bravely, fearless of all difficulties and obstacles.
