Beauties in Simulation Cross over into Reality-Chapter 102 - 91: Let It Go

「North Sea Dragon Abyss.」

A woman in a white dress stood before a massive, hundred-foot-tall Pill Furnace.

Surrounding the Pill Furnace, seven Flood Dragons spewed Dragon Breath.

They meticulously controlled the heat, fearing even the slightest lapse in concentration.

An hour later, the medicinal fragrance of the elixir slowly wafted out from the Pill Furnace.

Bai Ruxue’s golden, vertical pupils narrowed. She clenched her small hands, staring nervously at the Pill Furnace before her.

"Increase the fire by thirty percent!" Bai Ruxue commanded.

"ROAR!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the seven Flood Dragons immediately intensified their breaths.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Bai Ruxue opened her mouth and spat a drop of her heart’s Essence Blood into the Pill Furnace.

The Essence Blood merged with the elixir.

The medicinal fragrance grew richer. With a grand wave of her hand, Bai Ruxue opened the Pill Furnace.

In that instant, the Pill Furnace shone like the sun, erupting with a dazzling light that seemed poised to illuminate the entire Dragon Abyss.

"BOOM!"

A thick layer of dark clouds appeared above the Pill Furnace.

Lightning flashed within the clouds.

This was the Pill Tribulation.

Whenever an elixir of the first grade or higher was born, the Law of the Great Dao would send down a Pill Tribulation, attempting to prevent the birth of such an elixir that defied the natural order.

"Begone!"

Bai Ruxue looked at the Pill Tribulation and spoke but a single word: "Begone!"

Instantly, the dark clouds shattered and dispersed. The Pill Tribulation couldn’t even descend.

The elixir’s fragrance permeated the entire Dragon Abyss. Countless Demon Beasts and Magical Beasts caught the scent, drooling with greed and instinctively wanting to draw closer to the elixir’s location.

But the intense draconic might emanating from the area filled them with a primal fear.

Bai Ruxue extended her hand.

As if drawn by an unseen force, a golden elixir floated gently into Bai Ruxue’s fair, delicate palm.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! You have successfully refined the Treasure Pill!"

The seven Flood Dragons quickly transformed into their human forms and knelt on one knee before Bai Ruxue.

"You have all worked hard."

Bai Ruxue nodded and said to Xiao Qing, who stood beside her, "Take them to the treasury to each select a Half-Immortal Grade Spirit Medicine. Let them rest and recuperate properly."

"Yes, Sister," Xiao Qing replied.

The seven Flood Dragons all showed looks of excitement. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Bai Ruxue stored the Treasure Pill and turned, flying out of the Dragon Abyss.

After Bai Ruxue left, they slowly rose to their feet, wiping the hot sweat from their brows.

A month ago, the North Sea Dragon Lord had issued a decree, summoning the Seven Dragon Kings of the North Sea to the Dragon Abyss.

They hadn’t known what for, but they could only obey Her Majesty’s command.

When they arrived, they discovered it was for Alchemy.

For the entire month that followed, they, the Seven Dragon Kings of the North Sea, had been forced to perform Alchemy again and again, never leaving the Dragon Abyss for a single moment.

Finally, today, they had succeeded.

If this had gone on any longer, they felt their throats would have actually started smoking.

The Black Flood Dragon named Xia Wu stepped forward and asked Xiao Qing curiously, "Sister Xiao Qing, who is the elixir Her Majesty forged for?"

"That’s right, Sister Xiao Qing. This elixir seems to be for improving one’s Root Bone and clearing their Spirit Veins. Her Majesty even used a drop of her Essence Blood," the Flood Dragon named He Xiao added, also curious.

They couldn’t fathom who could possibly have such immense prestige as to have the entire North Sea perform Alchemy for them, and for Her Majesty to even use a drop of her Essence Blood.

Hearing their questions, Xiao Qing glared at them, and the dragons hastily took a few steps back.

Xiao Qing said coldly, "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. No one is to speak of what has happened this past month. Do you understand?"

"Yes..."

All the dragons shut their mouths, not daring to say another word.

...

Carrying the elixir, Bai Ruxue used the art of Shrinking Inches. In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, she arrived in the sea region ten li from Huanyu Village.

But a woman appeared before Bai Ruxue.

"Miss Bai..." Li Sisi of the Tianxuan Sect waved happily upon seeing Bai Ruxue.

Bai Ruxue’s Cloud Pattern Embroidered Shoes touched the surface of the sea as she smiled. "So it’s Miss Sisi. It’s been a long time."

"It has been a long time," Li Sisi nodded, stepping forward. "It must have been a thousand years."

"How has Daoist Master Fuchen been recently?" Bai Ruxue asked.

With the war between the Human Race and the Demon Race about to erupt, tensions between the two sides were growing. As an Immortal Realm Great Demon in the World of Ten Thousand Laws, even with the Tianxuan Sect backing him, Fuchen had been under considerable pressure lately.

Li Sisi smiled. "My master is doing well. Thank you for your concern, Miss Bai."

"Then I am relieved." Bai Ruxue looked at Li Sisi. "Miss Sisi, is there a reason you’ve come looking for me?"

"Well..." The happy smile on Li Sisi’s face gradually faded, replaced by a look of conflict and nervousness.

"Did Elder Fuchen send you with a message, Miss Sisi? You can just speak plainly," Bai Ruxue said calmly.

"Then... then I’ll say it..." Sisi raised her head, her tone tinged with apprehension.

"Master... Master recently divined that you have found Xiao Mo. He also foresaw that you intend to alter Xiao Mo’s constitution to allow him to cultivate, so Master sent me... sent me to persuade you..."

Bai Ruxue’s brows furrowed. "What does Elder Fuchen want to persuade me about?"

Li Sisi nervously wrung her small hands, looking directly into Bai Ruxue’s golden, vertical pupils. "Master asked me to persuade you to reconsider."

...

Silence fell between them over the surface of the sea.

Li Sisi took a deep breath to calm her nerves and said seriously:

"Miss Bai, you know as well as I that everything has two sides.

"The people of the Mortal World may only live for a few decades, but their karma is minimal.

"This is because among mortals, even one like Mr. Xiao who has reached the peak of his craft cannot influence the Celestial Dao. The Celestial Dao does not spare them a second glance.

"But Cultivators are different.

"The so-called Path of Cultivation is, by its very nature, an act of seizing the fortune of heaven and earth.

"When a person steps onto the Path of Cultivation, they draw the attention of the Celestial Dao. The higher their Realm, the more the Celestial Dao takes notice, and thus, the more tribulations it sends down. This is why the further a Cultivator progresses, the more arduous their journey becomes, like trying to ascend to the heavens.

"The essence of a Cultivator’s endless pursuit of higher Realms is the desire to transcend worldly karma and attempt to replace the Celestial Dao itself.

"Miss Bai, you now intend to use Dragon Thunder Liquid and a Feather Transformation Pill to force Xiao Mo onto the Path of Cultivation.

"In an era of peace and prosperity, this would naturally not be a problem.

"But now, the second great war between the Human Race and the Demon Race is about to begin.

"The entire world will be swept into it.

"At that time, the fate lines of countless Cultivators will be thrown into chaos, and karma will become a tangled mess. Anyone could die an unnatural death, or even have their soul obliterated.

"If Xiao Mo remains in a remote little fishing village, he might be able to escape this calamity.

"But if Xiao Mo steps onto the Path of Cultivation... then everything becomes uncertain..."

"Did Elder Fuchen divine something specific?" Bai Ruxue asked, her expression focused.

"Master didn’t tell me..."

Li Sisi sighed and shook her head.

"Master only told me to tell you this, Miss Bai.

"If you give up on having Mr. Xiao cultivate, then you should take him to the Desolate Land and live out a peaceful century with him.

"If you still wish for Mr. Xiao to cultivate, then you must consider whether you can bear the countless threads of karma this chaotic world will entangle him in.

"Finally, Master told me to say this to you. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"This life has ended. Just let it end.

"Don’t be so attached anymore."
