Chapter 1159: Chapter 1159: The Integration of Water and Fire
A rumbling sound echoed as the Yin-Yang Cave began to collapse. Massive and heavy stones fell from the top, landing between Ye You and Tian Xiaozi.
Ye You had already unleashed the power of Gold Attribute Magic, creating a sturdy protective shield above the heads of himself and Qin Sisi to block the falling stones.
Their location was the deepest part of the Yin-Yang Cave, where the rock walls were more solid and supported, making it less prone to collapse. Only influenced by the surroundings, so small fragnts of rock chipped and fell.
In the other areas, Ye You’s powerful attack had created a wide and long fissure, causing countless boulders to rain down one after another.
Seeing the dire situation, Tian Xiaozi and the man in black cloak hurriedly fled toward the cave’s entrance as massive stones crashed down behind them.
They escaped the cave’s entrance and continued running for hundreds of ters outside before the heavy impact of the falling stones finally subsided.
Looking back, Tian Xiaozi saw that the entrance to the Yin-Yang Cave had completely vanished, leaving only a heap of stones of various sizes piled together, as if the magical cave had never existed.
Unwilling to give up, Tian Xiaozi returned and drew his weapon, attempting to chop away the boulders blocking the entrance.
As a Sixth-level Magic God, the most advanced weapon he could wield was at the seven-star level. As a Sage Ruler’s substitute, Tian Xiaozi naturally used the best—a seven-star weapon.
But no matter the advanced level of the weapon, it could not compare to the power of an Ancient Artifact. Tian Xiaozi split one boulder, and imdiately another rolled down from above. He swung his blade tirelessly for half the day with no progress.
The man in black cloak watched coldly, then walked over and said, "Enough. We can’t get in, and they can’t co out. If you’re worried, we might as well wait here and see what happens."
At this mont, she no longer needed to deliberately disguise herself, dropping her coarse fake voice to reveal her original tone, which turned out to be sweet and lodious.
Tian Xiaozi, of course, understood the situation. Under these circumstances, it was impossible for Ye You and the others to escape. But he felt uneasy and insisted on seeing it with his own eyes to feel reassured.
However, things did not go his way. The never-ending landslide of stones rendered him unable to clear the cave’s entrance. At last, he had no choice but to adopt the suggestion of the man in black cloak and settle down to wait by the cave’s mouth.
At that mont, in the area where Ye You and Qin Sisi were located, a sealed space about seven to eight ters wide and long had ford. The glowing walls of the cave made the area not entirely dark, but the light was faint and dim.
After driving away Tian Xiaozi and the man in black cloak, Ye You imdiately hurried to Qin Sisi’s side. Her entire body was already ice-cold, and her skin began to stiffen.
Ye You placed his palm on Qin Sisi’s face, and the freezing cold pierced him to the bone, filling his heart with anguish like a knife was carving through. Clenching his teeth, he raised his burned and charred palm and swallowed the Fire Spirit Pearl.
"Xiao Hei..." Qin Sisi called out with difficulty, her gaze filled with urgency and sorrow.
Master Yipiao had once warned them: to control the Water Fire Spirit Pearl, one must possess the power of a Demon Emperor at the least—a level neither of them had yet achieved.
Ye You’s act of swallowing the Fire Spirit Pearl was akin to gambling his life.
The scorching pain quickly spread from his abdon, as if his entire body was on fire, threatening to burn him to ashes.
Yet at this mont, as Ye You caressed Qin Sisi’s icy face, he felt an unparalleled sense of comfort.
A sharp glimr flashed in his eyes, and he grasped the collar of Qin Sisi’s clothing, tearing it apart with force. The fabric made from Celestial Silkworm Silk turned into strips in his hands.
"You..." Qin Sisi looked at Ye You with utter shock, wanting to resist, wanting to question, but her body refused to obey her will.
Ye You raised his arm and gently swiped above his head, causing a translucent silver sphere to appear.
Qin Sisi was very familiar with the silver sphere. In her world, she had countless tis sat inside Ye You’s silver sphere and even peacefully slept within it.
Both their clothes were tossed to the ground, and the silver sphere slowly floated into the air, suspended midway between the cave’s floor and ceiling.
He bent down, wrapping Qin Sisi’s freezing body tightly in his embrace, then murmured, "Sisi, trust . This is the only way."
This was precisely the segnt of Master Yipiao’s teachings that Ye You had kept hidden from Qin Sisi.
Master Yipiao had said that after finding the Water Fire Spirit Pearl, they were first to help Midair City resolve its drought. Then, the pearls should be sealed and set aside until Ye You and Qin Sisi advanced to the rank of Demon Emperor—only then could the rging technique be attempted.
Water and fire were inherently opposed; a single person could not fuse both pearls simultaneously. It had to be a man and a woman, each fusing one pearl.
Fire represented Yang, water represented Yin; man represented Yang, woman represented Yin. Therefore, the man would fuse the Fire Spirit Pearl, and the woman would fuse the Water Spirit Pearl.
The thod involved swallowing the Water Fire Spirit Pearl, then engaging in Yin-Yang union to balance and neutralize the excessive Yang and Yin energies within each other until equilibrium was achieved.
Ye You already possessed Ziwei Heaven Fire, and combined with the miraculous power of the Fire Spirit Pearl, his fire magic would reach an unparalleled level, making him nearly invincible.
As for Qin Sisi, in addition to the Sun’s True Fire, she would acquire a powerful new Magic Attribute through the Water Spirit Pearl.
However, the bond between a man and woman could not be a casual partnership. It required them to be deeply connected lovers or spouses, sharing a mutual understanding and determination to live and die together. Only then could the Water Fire Spirit Pearl be fully fused.
If the relationship was rely transactional or driven by self-interest, the tendency to prioritize gains and losses would interfere, making the fusion of the Water Fire Spirit Pearl unlikely.
Ye You and Qin Sisi evidently t these criteria. Thus, Master Yipiao had explained everything clearly to Ye You.
Master Yipiao had also lanted the misfortunes of his own fate, regretting that he had not found a woman who was deeply devoted to him and shared his soul bond. If only his romantic luck had been better, how could the Water Fire Spirit Pearls have ended up with Ye You and Qin Sisi?
Back then, Ye You had rolled his eyes at Master Yipiao, but he had committed these teachings to mory. However, considering how far he and Qin Sisi still were from the rank of Demon Emperor, he hadn’t thought they would need to apply this thod anyti soon, so he never revealed it to Qin Sisi.
Yet plans could hardly keep up with unpredictable changes. Tian Xiaozi had sohow tracked their whereabouts and followed them to the Yin-Yang Cave, intending to play the role of a praying mantis stalking the cicada, only to be outsmarted by the watching oriole.
Fate had a way of blending fortune and misfortune. Tian Xiaozi’s arrival coincided with an encounter with the Yin-Yang Beast in its Berserk Status, inadvertently becoming a target for the beast and offering a rare opportunity to Ye You.
Fortune hides in misfortune; misfortune intertwines with fortune.
Just as Ye You celebrated the chance Tian Xiaozi’s interference brought, a new twist erged.
Qin Sisi had accidentally swallowed the Water Spirit Pearl. As a Magic Spirit, she was still two ranks below Demon Emperor and utterly unable to fuse with the Water Spirit Pearl.
Ultimately, the extre freezing Water Spirit Force within the pearl would leave her as nothing more than a frozen human statue.
