Chapter 1634: Rainbow Butterfly

"Please help the Squad leader!" the familiar voice pleaded.

A hint of surprise appeared on Bai Mengmeng’s right eye, though it still looked vacant. Bai Mengmeng had shared a curious and symbiotic relationship with this other person throughout her life. The other person was only capable of awakening a trace of her spirit during the state of Divine Knowledge. Every time this happened, Bai Mengmeng's will would fall into deep slumber, so hearing her talk had come as a complete surprise.

Furthermore, she was able to sense that Bai Mengmeng neither feared nor panicked in her presence.

"It seems that you've long been aware of my existence," she coldly said.

Bai Mengmeng's left eye shone far brighter than her right eye, which was full of spirituality.

"I could sometimes feel your presence, Elder Sister, but I never said anything because I was afraid to disturb you," she timidly responded.

"Then do you know who I am?" the cold voice asked.

"Nope."

The aloof voice laughed quietly and hoarsely, then it became ice-cold and even murderous. "You're just a shell for me. I'll eventually consume you."

Faced with this terrifying threat, Bai Mengmeng didn't show any fear.

"Elder Sister, you're a good person. I can feel it," she said softly.

Although the two had never ever spoken to each other before, the body did belong to Bai Mengmeng. Thus, she had secretly learned a lot whenever the other party researched spirit liquids and purifying lights. That was why she had always respected the individual that was sharing her body.

As a result, she naturally could sense that the other party didn't have any malicious intentions towards her.

"A good person? Heh." The mysterious consciousness sneered as it never expected such a statement.

"You didn't dare to appear before me in the past, so what changed?" she asked.

Bai Mengmeng carefully replied, "I want you to help the Squad leader."

The mysterious consciousness was capable of observing what was happening all the way in Xia City, and Bai Mengmeng shared those senses. Thus, she knew the danger that Li Luo was currently facing.

The consciousness sighed. "I can't help him. His foundation and talent might be first-rate even by the standards of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect. In fact, very few Sect Masters could match him in that aspect. If he was born in that era, he would definitely have become the main successor candidate and receive the support of the entire sect. Using his body's foundation to forcefully push the Absolute Resonance Halo this far is a remarkable achievement. Unfortunately, the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill is an absolute requirement for the final step. The only method to move forward that the Heavenly Emperors of the sect managed to come up with is taking the pill. "

"A golden pill... Is that the golden ball I gave him the other day?" Bai Mengmeng asked meekly.

The mysterious consciousness almost choked. "How did you know that was the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill? Did you give it to him on purpose?"

𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

She had refined that half-finished pill bit by bit over the years, shedding blood, sweat, and tears in the process. She couldn’t believe that Bai Mengmeng had simply given away.

Bai Mengmeng replied in embarrassment, "Elder Sister, I caught a few glances of the pill while you were refining it. I heard you talk about it as well. When the Squad Leader asked for it, I just gave it to him."

"He simply asked for it and you handed it over?" The consciousness was speechless. Did her host think that the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill had no value? It might've been the only one in the entire world, and this little wench had given it away without a second thought!

"Forget about it, it's already been done. I never completed the final and most crucial step to refine that pill. That foolish brat has no clue that the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill he sorely needs is already in his hands."

"Elder Sister, can you help him?" Bai Mengmeng pleaded pitifully yet again.

The consciousness fell silent for a bit. "You're adorable."

Bai Mengmeng's lively eyes spaced out for a few moments. "Elder Sister, are you saying that I'm very foolish? My actual sister once said that calling someone adorable is the same as calling them dumb."

The consciousness couldn't help but laugh. "I've been part of you for years. Do you really think I wouldn't know if you were stupid?"

Her voice was gentle now, and there was even a hint of affection.

She shared and experienced Bai Mengmeng’s emotions, whether it was joy, anger, or sorrow. Bai Mengmeng had always been so kind that others couldn't help but want to protect her.

In the past, the consciousness’ life was filled with intrigue and deception, forcing her to experience life-or-death situations time and time again. Perhaps it was because she had lived through such a cruel reality that her will held no resistance to Bai Mengmeng’s pure-heartedness and kindness.

"Alright, I'll help you out. After all, the Saturnine Hydra Devil King is after me. If your squad leader loses, I will be forced to make a move anyway. But I can’t deal with an enemy that powerful in my current condition.

“I'll demonstrate the Pill Ascension Art to you. It will activate the incomplete Myriad Resonances Golden Pill and improve its medicinal potency. Although it won’t be as potent as a completed pill, it should allow him to temporarily forge his seventh Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried and reach the realm of a Transcendent Duke. However, it will only be temporary. After this battle, the Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried will shatter and his foundation will be harmed. I would say that’s better than dying at the hands of the Saturnine Hydra Devil King."

Upon hearing that explanation, Bai Mengmeng paused to consider the consequences. There was no better option, so she nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Elder Sister, for taking action!"

"You can call me ‘Rainbow Butterfly Elder Sister,’" the consciousness said.

"Yes, Rainbow Butterfly Elder Sister," Bai Mengmeng obediently repeated.

The consciousness laughed yet again as Bai Mengmeng's slender hands involuntarily formed a series of unique hand seals. Each seal drained the resonant power within her body.

However, just before her resonant power ran dry, a mysterious and boundless force surged in the depths of her body like a raging ocean.

A frightening pressure burst out of her body.

Cai Wei and a few others had been watching Bai Mengmeng talk to herself. The sudden wave of pressure shocked them, and they hurriedly backed away. To their horror, the petite girl started floating. Yuan Qing, House Luolan's ancestor, was shivering from head to toe upon sensing this. He could not comprehend how the harmless Bai Mengmeng with little talent in cultivation was exuding an oppressive aura that was countless times more frightening than that of a Duke.

This experience had utterly blown his mind. However, before anyone could find out what was going on, the strange force poked a hole through the void.

......

Xia City

Li Luo roared in anger. He had exhausted all of his means, yet the Absolute Resonance Halo needed one more nudge to reach perfection.

Forming the seventh Duke Bergfried was beyond difficult.

The Duke Bergfried he had managed to create only possessed nine pillars.

The tenth one simply refused to materialize.

He knew that this was due to the Absolute Resonance Halo lacking just one tiny component. It was clear that the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill was the final requirement.

His eyes were red with hatred, fueled by his own powerlessness. He truly wished to sacrificially ignite all of his resonances and gamble everything to make this work.

He needed to take that final step at any cost.

Just as he was about to act, a mote of golden light shot out of his pocket sphere. Within it was the mottled golden pearl Bai Mengmeng had given him, and it was releasing a strange light. The marks of wear swiftly faded away. A few moments later, it transformed into a round golden pill covered in primordial engravings, exuding an archaic air. It looked like the most mystical object in the world.

When Li Luo saw this, his emotions surged uncontrollably. He could sense that the Absolute Resonance Halo was dying to consume this pill.

He instantly understood what it was. This was the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill he so bitterly desired! A wave of joy and disbelief washed over him.

However, why would the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill suddenly fly out of his pocket sphere?

When had he put it in there?

As he stared at the radiant pill with ravenous eyes, he suddenly remembered receiving a worn-out golden pearl.

It was the thing Bai Mengmeng had casually fished out of her pocket and handed to him!

“That thing was the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill? This makes no sense! This is outrageous!”
