Ye Chu stared at these patterns. He no longer tried hard to memorise them. He knew these patterns were strange. Even if he tried harder, he still could not remember them.
Looking at these patterns, they were simply sketched out, ordinary like a little kid casually drawing with a twig. Such ordinary patterns, yet Ye Chu found it hard to understand why these textures made him unable to remember them.
The more magical these textures seemed, the more interested Ye Chu became, and the more unwilling he felt in his heart.
“I cannot memorise them, but I insist on remembering!”
Ye Chu refused to accept it. His intent patterns vibrated out from the qi sea. The intent patterns burst out with waves of sound, like nine stars in a line, shooting out a beam of light as if to pierce through the illusory void.
Ye Chu used his intent patterns to evolve, imitating these patterns to evolve them, imprinting all these textures into his intent patterns.
Ye Chu’s primordial spirit was extraordinary. These textures were not complicated either. He imprinted them bit by bit. Although it was somewhat strenuous, he could barely manage it. Ye Chu knew he could not memorise them, so he could only rely on this method to imprint all these textures into his intent patterns.
If the textures were more complex, Ye Chu would not be able to imprint them at all. But for such simple intent patterns, he could still do it.
Ye Chu’s intent patterns were extraordinary, yet imprinting so many textures was still very strenuous. In this space, Ye Chu imprinted while cultivating, imprinting these textures piece by piece.
Ye Chu did not know how much time had passed. Finally he had imprinted all the patterns here onto his intent patterns. Having reached this step, Ye Chu felt he was about to collapse from exhaustion. The project was too massive. If not for his extraordinary primordial spirit, he could not have achieved this at all.
When the last texture was imprinted into his intent patterns by Ye Chu, the intent patterns slowly merged into Ye Chu’s body. But as soon as these intent patterns merged into his body, those simplest textures that could not be simpler actually began to slowly move within his intent patterns.
As the textures moved, everything seemed to be broken. These simple textures recombined, pairing up and intertwining together.
Ye Chu could not stop it in time. Thousands upon thousands of textures began to change, constantly recombining and intertwining. The originally simple textures slowly turned into one complex texture after another. These complex textures recombined again, turning into even more complex textures.
It was in this kind of change that thousands upon thousands of textures intertwined and gradually fused together.
Using the simplest textures to recombine, on Ye Chu’s intent patterns there appeared a kind of texture that emitted light, mysterious and extremely complex. Thousands upon thousands of textures had actually fused into one. This one texture was like many flowers imprinted on Ye Chu’s intent patterns.
These flowers were very strange. Their petals were actually flowing, like weak water flowing endlessly. Just as Ye Chu was puzzled, these flowers suddenly changed, turning into a river that surged violently. There were three thousand weak waters flowing endlessly within it.
The texture no longer had the simplicity from before. Instead it was mysterious and ancient. Just one glance at it made Ye Chu feel as if his soul would be drawn into it.
From the texture came the aura of dao and law, as if merged with heaven and earth, carrying the breath of heaven and earth. When Ye Chu saw this texture, a river involuntarily flashed in his mind. The river had three thousand weak waters flowing endlessly. Mysterious and ancient auras emanated from it, ancient and grand as if existing for countless years, so old that it was beyond description.
Ye Chu’s intent patterns merged into the qi sea, and that texture also sank into Ye Chu’s qi sea at the same time. As this texture entered, it actually caused the black iron to tremble. They verified each other. The textures on the black iron that Ye Chu could not see at all suddenly burst with great light and intertwined with it.
At the same time, the textures Ye Chu had obtained in the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land on his arm also erupted with terrifying light. The three intertwined together. The erupting radiance fell on Ye Chu’s arm, and the cool sensation on his arm suddenly disappeared.
After the cool sensation disappeared, these textures continued to sink into Ye Chu’s qi sea, imprinting onto his intent patterns. Following the intent patterns, they entered Ye Chu’s primordial spirit and imprinted onto his primordial spirit.
The patterns from the black iron could not remain on Ye Chu’s primordial spirit. However, the textures from the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land and the textures that had now turned into three thousand weak waters were both on Ye Chu’s primordial spirit.
After these two textures imprinted on his primordial spirit, Ye Chu clearly felt a drastic change in his primordial spirit. A wave of cool sensation spread throughout his primordial spirit. A desolate feeling spread from his primordial spirit to his entire body.
A kind of misery, a kind of powerless pain all rose in Ye Chu’s heart. At this moment, Ye Chu felt that life was worse than death. He felt extremely uncomfortable. Heaven and earth were full of sorrow, and his heart was like dead ashes.
Ye Chu had not only experienced this feeling once. He had already experienced it many times. However, this time it was even stronger. Ye Chu felt as if he were personally there, with his beloved repeatedly dying in front of him.
This was an illusion, yet it carried a kind of desolate sorrow that could drive one mad.
Ye Chu was shocked in his heart. This time the feeling was even stronger than when he had touched the statue last time. Ye Chu truly felt that state of mind like dead ashes.
Ye Chu clenched his fists tightly. His face was filled with sorrow. In his mind he could not help but flash images of Bai Xuan, of Yao Yao, and even of Tan Miaotong. Ye Chu was unwilling. The last time he had lost himself it had nearly killed him. This time the feeling was even stronger than last time. It was enough to make him unable to endure.
Ye Chu thought he was about to lose himself, that he would follow in the footsteps of the supreme being and die in the world just like him.
But after a moment, Ye Chu still maintained his rationality. Although that desolate sorrow occupied his mind, his own consciousness had not lost itself. Ye Chu’s face was covered in tears, yet he stood there clearly awake and did not self-harm or give up on life.
This result left Ye Chu stunned for a moment. His mind sank into his primordial spirit. He discovered that two textures inside his primordial spirit were flashing with light. These lights carried strange effects, bringing Ye Chu a few degrees of clarity. And it was precisely these few degrees of clarity that allowed him to maintain his rationality.
The desolate sorrowful feeling still spread throughout Ye Chu’s body. Ye Chu’s face was covered in tears. The tears flowed down like falling pearls. His heart was like dead ashes. The only remaining rationality kept him standing there motionless, not doing anything foolish.
This feeling persisted for one hour. Only after one hour did it slowly begin to fade.
After returning to normal, Ye Chu stared blankly at the ground wet with tears. After losing focus for a moment, he could not help but burst into loud laughter. “I did not lose myself! I did not lose myself!”
Ye Chu was extremely excited. He had never felt such joy before. This time he had not lost himself. It meant that his life was once again in his own hands.
Although that feeling just now had been uncomfortable, as long as he did not lose himself and cut off his own life force, everything else did not matter. Nothing made him happier than being alive.
“Those textures…”
Ye Chu’s heart shook with excitement. Those textures were what had kept him rational. Ye Chu was shocked by the strength of that supreme expert from the Weak family. He had not expected that the other party could truly have methods to resist the intent of a supreme being, allowing one to maintain rationality under the intent of a supreme being. It was truly unparalleled in the world.
