Chu Mu actually remembered a bit about this young man. He was the young man that he had saved from the ruins of Ice City and recommended by him to the Holy Guard apprentice army.

When he saw the young man’s cautiousness, he couldn’t help but remember when he was at that age and looked at an expert, he would have the same eyes.

The young man stood there and stared for a while. But ultimately, he didn’t have the courage to walk up. Chu Mu had a mysterious demeanor about him. It was rare for him to stand on the city wall like today. There were many others like the young man who wanted to come up and say something to Chu Mu. But the majority didn’t have the courage to do so.

“Big brother, you can’t always be so stoic and serious. You’ll scare everyone away,” said Ning Maner.

“....” Chu Mu felt that he was much better than before, no?

“Why don’t you go back first. I’m going to take a trip to Nightmare Holy Region,” Chu Mu said to Ning Maner.

“I’ll go too.” said Ning Maner

Chu Mu acted like he didn’t hear anything. His body was ignited with flames. As a wave of wind blew past and the flames quickly dispersed, Chu Mu’s body also disappeared.

Ning Maner stamped her foot in anger as she watched Chu Mu run away.

Ning Maner was able to guess who he was going to see in Nightmare Holy Region.

......

After entering Nightmare Holy Region, Chu Mu passed straight through the Nightmare Dynasty’s territory and straight towards the Devil Soul territory.

The Devil Souls had paid a heavy price to defend Wanxiang City. Currently, the soul energy in Immortal City and Sealed Tower were being used as a resource for the Devil Souls, providing them with recovering nutrients unique to their species.

When Chu Mu arrived at the Devil Soul territory, he happened to see Bai Yu walking out from there.

Bai Yu glanced at Chu Mu and shook his head: “She still hasn’t awakened.”

Chu Mu nodded his head.

Princess Jinrou, after using Devil Gallop, had fallen into a state of unconsciousness. Clearly, this fight had greatly exhausted her.

“I put the jade pendant on her and placed her soul in her body,” said Bai Yu.

Chu Mu was stunned.

Bai Yu said that the jade pendant had been obtained from Hidden Pupil Royalty’s family master with the Limbo Flower. The inside of the pendant contained a little bit of resurrection energy that would allow Princess Jinrou to resurrect for a period of time.

“If she didn’t trick me, when she wakes up, she should truly awaken,” said Bai Yu. He stretched out his hand and patted Chu Mu’s shoulder, “I need to leave for a while. Take good care of her.”

“You aren’t going to wait for her to wake up before leaving?” asked Chu Mu.

Bai Yu shook his head and said: “The Limbo Flower woman didn’t give me that much time. Whatever, I’ll have opportunities in the future. Even if I don’t manage to fully awaken her, you’ll help me finish it.”

“I will,” Chu Mu nodded his head.

“The truth is that at the very beginning, I was also deceiving myself. Perhaps, I myself didn’t even believe that a dead person could truly be resurrected. However, if I don’t embark upon this path, I don’t know how much more meaning there is for me to keep living in this world. I may as well become a devil. I won’t know anything and I won’t need to think about anything.” said Bai Yu.

“You can’t say that. Being sad and heartbroken is always better than feeling no emotions.” Chu Mu himself had transformed into a devil before, and understood the pain of becoming a devil.

The pain didn’t come from the devil flames burning in his mind. All it did was make him perpetually crazy. The pain came from the fact he was never able to find himself. He didn’t know who he was nor what he needed to do...

“I guess you’re right.” Bai Yu nodded his head, concurring with Chu Mu’s words.

“Uncle Bai Yu, I don’t think you should go to Hidden Pupil Royalty. That family master is hovering right under the undying realm. Perhaps she will go to extreme measures to break into the undying rank,” Chu Mu said with a bit of worry.

“The Limbo Flower has resurrecting abilities, but doesn’t have the ability to keep one alive forever. Perhaps by the time you and I reach that realm and are faced with impending death from old age, we will do things that instill others with anger,” said Bai Yu.

“I don’t consider myself a good person anyway,” laughed Chu Mu.

Bai Yu stared back at him before laughing.

Every person would go to extreme measures for their cultivation. Chu Mu was the same, as was Bai Yu. The difference was that some people had bottom lines while others would even harm their own family members.

“I’m going,” said Bai Yu.

“Alright, be careful,” said Chu Mu.

A silver devil flame ignited on Bai Yu’s body. He transformed into a stream of silver light that instantly disappeared along the black land.

As he watched Bai Yu leave, Chu Mu felt touched.

The Heaven Boundary Monuments would choose people who had experienced a bumpy road but also had strong determination to become Monument Tear Individuals. Chu Mu felt that if Bai Yu also arrived at a Heaven Boundary Monument, he would become an extremely outstanding and powerful Monument Tear Individual.

However, Chu Mu had never felt a Monument Tear fluctuation from Bai Yu’s body.

......

Chu Mu walked into the Devil Soul tribe.

The Immortal Ice Curse Demon Fox had smelled Chu Mu’s scent and came outside to greet Chu Mu.

The snow white Immortal Ice Curse Demon Fox seemed noble and beautiful, yet adorable and enchanting. It bounced ahead of Chu Mu as it led the way.

When they reached an ice altar, Chu Mu saw Princess Jinrou.

She was lying at the center of the ice altar. Her figure was beautiful and provoking, causing the hearts of those who saw her to violently thump.

Her skin was abnormally fair because her body had spent a long time being maintained in ice powder. Added on the Immortal Spring Water’s effect, even if her body showed no signs of life, it also showed no signs of aging.

Seeing her like this made Chu Mu think of the scene many years ago in Dormant World.

It had been many years since then. Chu Mu’s complexion was no longer a young man’s. However, Princess Jinrou’s hadn’t changed a bit.

An azure green jade pendant hung from her fair neck. The jade pendant contained a special energy that resembled thick life force. But it also seemed to be some other force as it formed a faintly discernible halo that enveloped Princess Jinrou’s body.

Princess Jinrou’s eyes were closed.

It had been many years now since those eyes had opened. Often, Princess Jinrou would hover right in front of her own body and look, entranced, at her body that was already dead.

But now, Princess Jinrou’s soul had once again assimilated with her body. Whether or not she could truly be resurrected required time, because her soul was too weak now. For Wanxiang City, she had expended all of her soul force.

The biggest contributor to Wanxiang City’s survival wasn’t Chu Mu, who managed to get back just in time. Instead, it was Princess Jinrou who had used Sealed Tower and the entire Devil Soul species’s energy to hold off a high class immortal rank expert and an entire army.

Many people remembered this scene. Therefore, on the corners of every newly constructed building’s roofs was a stone statue of a beautiful and small woman. This female statue was modeled after her. It had her long hair, long dress, and ethereal beauty, but also her fearless and tenacious figure....

Chu Mu walked up next to the ice altar. He used his hand to touch her arm where icy frost solidified.

Her arm was smooth and perfect. However, there was no body heat at all. When his fingers touched her arm, a slight chill passed through his whole body.

Her black hair was spread apart, and there were a few strands placed on her chest.

Chu Mu carefully looked and discovered that Princess Jinrou’s hair seemed to have grown a little.

The hair of the dead would slowly wither, but her hair was able to maintain its dark black due to the Immortal Spring Water’s effect.

But maintaining it was like an ice seal. The hair couldn’t grow. Yet, this time, Chu Mu had discovered her hair had really grown a bit.

Chu Mu’s memory of her appearance was too deeply engraved. Moreover, it had been many years now since everything about her had frozen on that day. Even if her hair grew an inch, CHu Mu would be able to detect this tiny change.

If her hair started growing, it meant that Princess Jinrou truly had come back to life!

She still hadn’t awakened, because her soul was too weak and she was in a state of unconsciousness.

When her soul recovered a bit and her consciousness began to awaken, it would mean she would truly awaken.

Chu Mu felt extremely happy, and couldn’t help but want to draw her into his embrace.

He still remembered that night on the deck of the boat when she faced the oncoming wind from the ocean. A pair of eyes that was even brighter than the stars was staring at the undulating ocean water. The dainty and elegant figure of a young girl carried with it melancholy, yet she was so beautiful she made it hard to breathe.

In that instant, Chu Mu’s heart had been moved. That was the most intense longing of a young man. He wanted to walk closer to her and say something to her and know everything about her.

And right now, she was right beside him. Even when she was in her spectral form, she always liked following beside him and talking with him. She would also throw small fits and when she was unhappy, would turn around and leave, leaving him clueless as to where to find her.

Chu Mu had always believed she was perfect. She had the elegant temperament of a princess, spoke with intelligence and wisdom and had secrets that others were unable to read into.

But he didn’t truly get to know her until she had become a specter. He discovered that she also had her childish moments, was very headstrong and sometimes acted weird, leaving others unable to understand what she was thinking...

Perhaps this was the real her, without any restraints.

She had even boldly revealed the words in her heart.

The first few times he met her, Chu Mu felt that there was some barrier between them. Afterward, everything about her smashed apart Chu Mu’s original belief that she was perfect. Instead, he felt that she had become even more real, and it was this realness that had truly captured Chu Mu’s heart.

But speaking about this was still a bit ironic. Before she had fallen into her deep sleep, Chu Mu always felt she was untouchable, unreachable, and could only watch from a distance.

But after she became a specter and he truly couldn’t touch her or reach and could only watch her, Chu Mu felt that she was genuinely by his side, gracefully floating with her melodious laughter, while also complaining about his cluelessness and lack of romantic understanding...
