"What?!" The scarlet Ghost General who arrived a step later could hardly believe her eyes.
Among the six Ghost Generals who stormed the Immortal City, the strength of the long-axe Ghost General was one of the best, yet he didn’t block even a single move and fell in battle!
Terrifying!
Just a moment ago, the scarlet Ghost General was still full of killing intent and ambition, just like the long-axe Ghost General before his death.
In this moment, her heart was filled with fear, her soul nearly leaving her body, and she turned to flee.
In the next moment, she truly turned away.
The scarlet Ghost General fell.
"Mother!" Ning Zhuo called out urgently.
He reached out to take the free hand of Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin, his face full of worry.
He knew well: Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin’s condition was not good, such an "awakening" pose was a severe drain on her Spiritual Nature.
Ning Zhuo would rather battle bitterly himself than see his mother suffer spiritual damage.
As if aware of his concerns, Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin smiled and comforted him: "This Paperman Giant Statue was constructed by me. I also set up arrangements here, which triggered my ’awakening.’"
"This state cannot last long, I still need to ’slumber’ to immerse myself in the cultivation of the strange path."
Ning Zhuo was curious, "Mother, are you cultivating the strange path?"
Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin nodded: "That’s right, only by mastering this path can Dao Injuries be healed. The Spiritual Nature within me far exceeds what I remember."
"I guess it’s the ’Cremation Prajna Spirit Liberation Sutra’? Did you learn it from the Lava Fairy Palace?"
Ning Zhuo nodded: "Mother, you guessed it right! Although I have not yet truly mastered the Lava Fairy Palace, I have a plan. I did not let you down!"
Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin smiled gently: "Good child, it’s thanks to you."
"As a mother, I have never given up trying."
Ning Zhuo’s eyes reddened, choked with emotion, almost in tears: "Mother, I’m fine, for you, I can do anything!"
Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin nodded again: "I just used the scythe, it was a practical application of the strange path."
"This path is indeed very difficult to cultivate, but I have some insights."
"Child, I do need you to gather Spiritual Nature for me. The area where I mainly operated during my lifetime was the Flying Cloud Country."
"The Myriad Images Sect is my sect, it would be great if you could join it."
Suddenly, Ning Zhuo thought of a key point, furrowed his brows, and showed killing intent: "Mother, I encountered the Chaotic Destiny Sect! Were they the ones who harmed you? I want to avenge you!"
Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin: "Indeed, there are enemies of mine in the Chaotic Destiny Sect. I also suffered the machinations of one among them and died."
"I cannot tell you this person’s name, the time is not right. You only have Foundation Establishment Cultivation, you are still too weak."
"If you learn about it prematurely, it will only alert that person, which is extremely inappropriate!"
"Moreover, anything related to the Chaotic Destiny Sect, you must avoid and not approach."
Ning Zhuo: "Mother, when will I be strong enough to avenge you? When can I actively resolve matters related to the Chaotic Destiny Sect?"
Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin initially frowned, then pinched her fingers to calculate, finally showing a profound and unpredictable smile: "This opportunity will come much sooner than you think."
"By then, it will grind you once more, allowing you to gain a significant breakthrough in your mental state."
Ning Zhuo’s eyes widened in surprise: "Mother, do you also understand the way of Lifespan? How come I never knew, could you teach me?"
Ning Zhuo looked up, his black-and-white eyes full of thirst for knowledge.
Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin saw Ning Zhuo’s full anticipation, chuckled: "Do you know, not everyone can grasp the way of Lifespan?"
"Little Zhuo, your destiny is very special, it has some taboo with the way of Lifespan."
Ning Zhuo asked, puzzled: "What taboo? I have a taboo with Lifespan?"
Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin lightly stroked Ning Zhuo’s big head again: "To be precise, it’s Lifespan that has a taboo with you. The Lifespan of heaven and earth has its own arrangements, it won’t allow you to contact or learn about Lifespan, otherwise, it will lead to terrifying consequences."
Ning Zhuo widened his eyes: "Ah?!"
He thought for a moment: "But I really want to learn. Why can’t I learn? Hmph, I might as well learn from the Lord of Wanchuan, defying heaven and destiny occasionally wouldn’t hurt. Learning it would be a gain!"
Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin laughed heartily: "Such spirited ambition, truly my child. You’re right, always following destiny, even if life is smooth sailing, it would be boringly tranquil."
"You just give it a try; I believe, over time, there will eventually be a time when you get what you wish for."
Ning Zhuo nodded repeatedly: "Mm-hmm!"
He had too much to say to his mother, but when the moment came, his thoughts were jumbled, not knowing what to express. His heart was completely filled with surprise, even forgetting that he was on the battlefield!
However, Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin had been keeping a close watch on the outside and initiated: "Little Zhuo, now isn’t the time for mother and son to chat leisurely."
"This event concerns the century-long plan of the Lord of Wanchuan, if he succeeds, it will bring devastation, and the entire Yin Tide Black Swamp will be doomed."
"Let me take the main position of the formation, I’ll kill those two troublesome Dead Bone Giants outside first."
Ning Zhuo immediately gave up the position: "Okay, mother, I’ll protect you!"
Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin sighed: "You really have grown, your mother can rely on you now. However, while protecting, try to prepare the Cremation Prajna Spirit Liberation Sutra, when the time comes, you must burn this Paperman Giant Statue."
Ning Zhuo: "Ah?"
But Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin did not explain further, her face was stern as she slowly closed her eyes and started to concentrate on controlling the Paperman Giant Statue.
