Record of a Demon's Cultivation Chapter 1253: Silver Teeth Clenched

Translator: CinderTL

"Gou Jun, hurry and check her injuries. Is there any chance you can save her?" Bai Wei stood by the jade bed, her gaze filled with worry as she looked at the unconscious Xu Mengyu. Her voice quivered with desperate hope.

Song Wen approached the bed and looked down at Xu Mengyu’s serene face. He then extended his divine sense, slowly probing the space between her eyebrows.

Xu Mengyu lay completely still. Song Wen’s divine sense navigated her delicate Sea of Consciousness barrier with ease, as if entering an empty space.

Deep within her Sea of Consciousness, Xu Mengyu’s spirit lay curled, a faint azure glow flickering precariously like a dying candle flame. It appeared as though the slightest external disturbance could extinguish it.

"How could her divine soul have become so frail?" Song Wen inquired, retracting his divine sense from Xu Mengyu’s Sea of Consciousness.

"She was practicing the Second Divine Soul Technique, but something went awry during the soul division..." Bai Wei’s voice was heavy with sorrow. She swallowed hard, her words catching in her throat, before continuing, "You can heal her, can’t you?"

Song Wen’s brow furrowed deeply, his expression grim. The situation was undeniably perilous.

"Her divine soul is exceedingly weak," Song Wen stated casually, fabricating his response. "I cannot guarantee a full recovery, but I will exert my utmost effort."

Bai Wei gazed at Song Wen, her face awash with gratitude.

"Then please commence the treatment at your earliest convenience."

"This procedure requires absolute privacy; no outsiders must witness it," Song Wen explained. "Senior, could you possibly erect a formation to seal off this entire mountain valley?"

Without a word, Bai Wei exited the ship tower and promptly deployed a formation, conjuring a dense mist that enveloped the entire valley in a concealing shroud.

Upon her return to the ship tower, Bai Wei announced, "Gou Jun, proceed without reservation. With me guarding the perimeter, no one shall dare to intrude." Her voice resonated with firm resolve.

Song Wen gave a slow nod and leaned closer, positioning himself against Xu Mengyu. He then channeled his divine sense power, meticulously constructing a pathway for the Soul Source Essence to traverse.

Bai Wei stood nearby, observing the scene with wide-eyed astonishment. Song Wen’s lips were pressed against Xu Mengyu’s own crimson lips, his body pressing down on her chest, visibly altering its contours...

This conduct was utterly inappropriate!

Her expression tightened with discomfort, yet knowing the dire circumstances and Xu Mengyu’s need for salvation, she found herself unable to intervene. She could only bite her lower lip, helplessly watching.

After considerable exertion, Song Wen finally succeeded in establishing a divine sense conduit.

He activated the Sea of Consciousness Black Hole, unleashing the Soul Source Essence. As he guided the essence through the conduit into Xu Mengyu’s Sea of Consciousness, he encountered the same obstacle that had complicated his earlier rescue of Bai Wei.

Xu Mengyu’s divine soul resided too far from the conduit’s terminus. Consequently, the Soul Source Essence failed to reach it, instead accumulating against the Sea of Consciousness barrier, inadvertently fortifying it.

Previously, Song Wen had utilized his own divine soul to enter Bai Wei’s Sea of Consciousness and maneuvered her soul towards the conduit’s opening. However, with Bai Wei now a direct observer, he hesitated to expose his divine soul so recklessly.

He promptly severed the divine sense channel, withdrew from Xu Mengyu, and stepped away from the jade bed.

Bai Wei, oblivious to the technical difficulties, tensed up, her voice laced with apprehension.

"Gou Jun, what is amiss? Is Mengyu’s condition excessively severe for treatment?"

"Not precisely," Song Wen responded. "Her divine soul is situated too deeply within her Sea of Consciousness, rendering direct healing impossible. Senior Bai Wei, would you be willing to project your divine soul into her Sea of Consciousness and guide her spirit closer to the opening?"

"I understand," Bai Wei replied, a slight sigh of relief escaping her lips. "Kindly wait a moment. I shall enter her Sea of Consciousness with my divine soul."

As she spoke, Bai Wei sat down upon the jade bed, preparing to cross her legs, when a sudden thought struck her. Her gaze shifted towards Song Wen, her eyes now filled with a discernible suspicion.

"When you first healed me, did your divine soul also venture into my Sea of Consciousness?"

"Indeed," Song Wen affirmed truthfully, though he was puzzled by Bai Wei’s sudden reaction. There was no point in denying it.

"Are you unaware that divine souls are forbidden from freely entering another’s Sea of Consciousness, let alone interacting with their spirit?" Bai Wei’s tone carried a distinct edge of displeasure.

Song Wen’s mouth parted slightly, but before he could utter a word, Bai Wei continued, her voice gradually softening.

"I offer my apologies for my earlier outburst. You were attempting to rescue me then, and the circumstances necessitated your actions. However, the divine soul is a cultivator's most sacred and private domain, even more so than the physical form. It is never to be intruded upon by another. When two divine souls make contact, it is akin to dao companions engaging in dual cultivation—their minds become inextricably linked."

Song Wen was taken aback for a moment. He had genuinely been completely oblivious to this fact.

Yet, when he had touched Bai Wei previously, he had perceived nothing extraordinary; no mental fusion occurred as she had described.

Could this be a result of the Sea of Consciousness Black Hole? Song Wen pondered inwardly.

Bai Wei remained silent.

She finally grasped why she had felt a peculiar sense of closeness to "Gou Jun" back then—it must have been due to the contact between their divine souls.

Bai Wei assumed a cross-legged posture, her palms facing upwards, eyes tightly shut.

In an instant, a spectral silhouette ascended from the crown of her head—her ethereally beautiful divine soul.

Bai Wei's divine soul then descended, vanishing into the space between Xu Mengyu's eyebrows.

Song Wen observed Bai Wei's physical body, thinking to himself: Senior Bai Wei displays immense desperation to save her. She is allowing her divine soul to depart her body without even requesting my departure.

Should any ill intentions arise within him, a simple incantation could obliterate her physical form.

After a few breaths, Bai Wei's divine soul re-emerged from Xu Mengyu's head.

She cast a glance at her physical body, confirming its intact state, and a trace of relief flickered across her features.

Then, she turned towards Song Wen and offered a radiant smile.

Her eyes curved elegantly like crescent moons, as if a celestial river were cascading from them.

The smile itself resembled the nascent rays of dawn, resplendent and captivating.

Song Wen felt as though the entire chamber had been illuminated by an additional third, his heart skipping a beat.

Bai Wei did not grant Song Wen extended time to luxuriate in her beauty before turning and rejoining her own body.

In the ensuing moment, her tightly closed eyes abruptly snapped open.

"Gou Jun, I have successfully relocated Mengyu's divine soul. Commence the treatment without delay."

Song Wen leaned forward once more, resuming his position above Xu Mengyu's body.

Following Bai Wei's repositioning of Xu Mengyu's divine soul, it was now optimally situated. The divine sense channel Song Wen had meticulously constructed now lay directly aligned with her soul.

Minute particles of Soul Source Essence traversed the channel, entering Xu Mengyu's Sea of Consciousness and settling directly onto her divine soul.

The soul gradually began to emanate a soft, ethereal luminescence.

Song Wen swiftly deduced that given Xu Mengyu's divine soul was merely in the early stage of the Divine Transformation realm, the restorative process would be remarkably straightforward. He estimated that her soul could achieve complete recovery within approximately twelve hours.

Recalling the numerous assurances Bai Wei had provided, Song Wen suddenly recognized the prudence of not expediting Xu Mengyu's healing too rapidly.

Remaining motionless in such a fashion proved exceedingly tedious. Three days later, he finally shifted his position and sat upright.

"Mengyu's divine soul has not yet fully recuperated, and she has not even awakened. Why have you halted the treatment?" Bai Wei inquired with palpable anxiety.

Song Wen rubbed his temples, his countenance marked by evident fatigue.

"Her divine soul is temporarily stabilized, but my mental energy is critically depleted. I require a period of rest and recuperation."

Bai Wei accepted his explanation without suspicion, a look of profound relief gracing her features.

"Then you should prioritize your recovery."

As she uttered these words, her gaze inadvertently lowered, settling upon Song Wen's lower abdomen. Her smile abruptly faltered and froze.

Song Wen quickly adjusted his robes, realizing he had been entirely unaware of his physical state.

"Senior, please accept my apologies. This is merely a natural occurrence."

"This... Fellow Daoist, I implore you to exercise restraint," Bai Wei urged, her tone laced with apprehension.

"If only I could," Song Wen responded, "but the treatment necessitates my complete mental concentration. I cannot afford to entertain any other thoughts."

Bai Wei gazed intently at Song Wen's abdomen, her lower lip caught between her teeth, remaining silent as if grappling with a significant internal debate.
