Inside the Purple Gold Palace, Ming Yue was frantically searching through her storage bag.
The heavily injured Ji Shiyou was now on the verge of death. He could stop breathing at any moment, but besides Ming Yue, everyone else, including Fairy Jin Wu, was also severely injured and unable to channel their energy to heal him.
Ming Yue was anxious and couldn't find what she needed. For Ji Shiyou's recovery, she emptied the contents of her storage bag onto the ground.
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and a bead rolled towards Ji Shiyou. It was the Moon Radiance Pearl, which Qing Lan had been longing to obtain.
Ji Shiyou's spirit was already weak. He forced his eyes open and looked at Ming Yue. He knew he was dying and had many things he wanted to say to her. But at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to speak. He could only muster his spirit and fix his gaze on Ming Yue, wanting to imprint her appearance in his eyes and heart, never to forget her in this life or any other.
However, he saw the Moon Radiance Pearl rolling towards him. His unfocused eyes shot out a gleam of light. He felt an inexplicable, deep connection to this bead. He tremblingly raised his hand, and the Moon Radiance Pearl seemed to sense his call, flying up into the air and landing in his palm.
The bead emitted a milky white light that enveloped him. Ji Shiyou felt the power emanating from the bead as if it were of the same origin, connected by blood. The power was like moonlight, incredibly gentle, entering his body and nourishing his dry dantian and injured meridians. He could hear his broken bones clicking back into place. His sunken chest visibly rose. A force coursed through his meridians, initially like a trickling stream, cool and nourishing, then like a surging river, flowing endlessly, and finally, like a hundred rivers converging into the sea at his dantian.
His body trembled, and a cool, distant moonlight silently emerged from him, scattering throughout the palace, making the Purple Gold Palace appear dreamlike. Everyone watched in a daze, mesmerized by the beautiful moonlight, unlike anything they had ever seen. Only Fairy Jin Wu looked at Ji Shiyou with confusion. This kind of moonlight, in her past life memories, had only appeared on her brother-in-law. Seeing it now suddenly triggered her past life memories.
Ming Yue looked at Ji Shiyou with a hazy gaze. She had no memories of her past life, but looking at Ji Shiyou enveloped in moonlight, she felt a sense of familiarity and closeness, as if she had seen such a beautiful scene somewhere before.
Just then, the Moon Radiance Pearl in Ji Shiyou's hand shattered with a bang, startling everyone. They didn't know why the bead had broken. Everyone, including Ji Shiyou, was taken aback. However, no danger occurred. Instead, a curtain woven from moonlight appeared before them, displaying shifting scenes with figures moving within. It seemed to be telling a story about a man and a woman. They met in the Primordial Era, communicated their feelings through moonlight, and fell in love. Then, the woman died, and the man entered the mortal world for a hundred thousand years, enduring countless reincarnations to find his beloved. Finally, they met again in the apocalypse, but fate still kept them apart, separated by life and death. The image froze on the woman's last moment before self-destruction, as she turned back and smiled at the distance, her eyes filled with longing, reluctance, determination, apology, entanglement, and protection. It was as if all human emotions were contained within that single smile.
Everyone was immersed in the scene, silent. Fairy Jin Wu looked at Ji Shiyou and Ming Yue with astonishment. In her past life, Ming Yue had sent her into reincarnation. She didn't know what happened afterward. Seeing the images, she finally understood the tragic ending. "Could this disciple she picked up, who has the same name as my brother-in-law, be her brother-in-law? Did he also come to search for his sister who had reincarnated?" Fairy Jin Wu suddenly had an epiphany and understood the whole story. She couldn't help but look at Ji Shiyou and Ming Yue with surprise.
Ji Shiyou's demeanor had transformed, becoming cold and elegant, as if he were a different person. A crescent moon mark appeared on his forehead, shining brightly. As for his sister Ming Yue, two streams of tears flowed down her face, but her expression was dazed, as if she were trying hard to recall something. In the apocalypse, Ming Yue had died in self-destruction. Ji Shiyou, to resurrect Ming Yue and change the heavenly laws, sacrificed himself to fulfill the final three-life pact and entered reincarnation. To preserve a trace of his younger brother's true spirit, the Moon God used his supreme divine power to condense pure moonlight into the Moon Radiance Pearl and cast it into the reincarnation channel. The Moon Radiance Pearl not only recorded the past events of Ji Shiyou and Ming Yue but also contained the Moon God's cultivation. Moreover, it was custom-made by the Moon God for Ji Shiyou. Therefore, after the Moon Radiance Pearl exploded, Ji Shiyou, having seen those scenes, regained his memories of the past hundred thousand years. His state directly returned to his strongest state in the Moon Palace.
However, Ming Yue was different. Although those scenes evoked her past life memories, the Moon Radiance Pearl could not directly affect her, and there were many things she needed to recall slowly. Most importantly, when she self-destructed, her soul and bloodline were damaged. Although the Witch clan's bloodline still existed within her, it had become diluted. Her cultivation had not changed; she was still in the form of a pear blossom tree demon. However, as her memories became clearer, the Witch clan's bloodline within her gradually began to awaken.
She sat cross-legged on the ground, her eyes closed tightly, her expression becoming increasingly pained. She now understood the cause and effect. To awaken her Witch clan abilities, she was forcefully trying to awaken her Witch clan bloodline, intending to kill Qing Lan and avenge Zhu Ji. But the Witch clan bloodline in her current body was too thin and did not meet the requirements for awakening. Despite enduring the pain and repeatedly attempting to break through the bottleneck, she failed again and again. Blood began to seep from her skin.
Ji Shiyou watched with great concern, but he had no Witch clan bloodline and could only anxiously stand by and protect Ming Yue, silently enveloping her with moonlight to lessen her suffering.
"Sister, I will help you awaken your bloodline!" Fairy Jin Wu shouted. The Witch clan bloodline within her came from Ming Yue, bestowed upon her by Ming Yue when she took form in her past life. Therefore, she could sense what Ming Yue was trying to do. Seeing Ming Yue in such pain, Fairy Jin Wu, disregarding her severe injuries, struggled to stand up and then solemnly performed a series of hand seals.
The Jin Wu Fire within her blazed fiercely. Amidst the flames, her body transformed into its original Jin Wu form. After a sharp screech, the Jin Wu's body was ignited by the fire. Her feathers caught fire, and then her body began to burn. Within a few breaths, the Jin Wu's body disappeared. Fairy Jin Wu had used the Jin Wu Fire to burn herself to death. Not a single feather remained, but amidst the intensely burning flames, dozens of drops of blood rotated, completely unafraid of the Jin Wu Fire. The blood gathered together in the flames, forming a blood orb the size of an egg. It then flew out of the Jin Wu Fire and landed beside Ming Yue. After circling her a few times, it directly entered Ming Yue's forehead. A golden light flared, and Ming Yue slowly opened her eyes.
