TBOUMTBDK Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Within the Sea of Consciousness

In Yun Xia and Mo Jun Zhou’s room, Mo Jun Zhou sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, his eyes closed in meditation.

He seemed to have no intention of paying any attention to Yun Xia.

Yun Xia placed the box he was holding on the table, ignoring Mo Jun Zhou. He sat alone on a chair, opened the lid of the snack box, and admired the exquisite pastries from Ningwen Workshop.

Ningwen Workshop was the most famous pastry shop in the entire Demon Realm. Every time Yun Xia ate their pastries, he had to savor their beauty for a long time before respectfully eating them.

They were practically edible works of art.

Initially, Mo Jun Zhou on the bed was cultivating while waiting for him to speak. At first, his mind was a little disturbed, his attention focused on Yun Xia across from him. However, as he waited in the quiet atmosphere, he gradually sank into his sea of consciousness.

His future sea of consciousness was incredibly vast, seemingly without end, a world like purgatory—a scorched, scarlet sky, a land split open as if by thunderous rage, scorching hot magma filling the cracks in the surface, the air filled with an ominous aura of death.

The sea of consciousness represents a person’s inner world. There are all kinds of people in this world, but no one’s sea of consciousness would look like this.

Even the most evil human might not possess such a sea of consciousness. Anyone else who saw this scene would probably be terrified and disbelieving.

Could such a person really exist?

Even Mo Jun Zhou himself, being in this place, felt an immense sense of alienation.

However, he wasn’t afraid or terrified. Instead, he was extremely excited. The end of the path he was cultivating should look like this.

He knew this path was difficult, but he had never doubted it. And now, reality was telling him that he had succeeded.

“Hahahaha, very good!”

After all, he was still young at this moment. Mo Jun Zhou stood in mid-air, his eyes half-closed, his robes fluttering in the wind, indicating his unsettled mood.

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, his black pupils turning into crimson eyes, a hint of madness appearing within.

He reached out and grasped at the void. Within a withered black mountain on the ground, magma suddenly erupted.

The blazing firelight dyed the sky red.

The boundless power of his Divine Consciousness exploded in the sea of consciousness. Mo Jun Zhou stood high in the sky, looking down at the earth, his eyes filled with cruel excitement. The violence buried deep within him was ignited by this extreme power, an unprecedented pleasure filling his heart.

At this moment, he only wanted to destroy everything.

Yun Xia suddenly sensed an unusually surging power of Divine Consciousness. He abruptly turned his head, his pupils shrinking.

He saw Mo Jun Zhou on the bed, his eyes tightly closed, his dark hair flying wildly, the Devil Markings on his chest crawling onto the side of his face. A crazy smile hung on his lips, his aura terrifying, the whole person like a Demon God descending.

“Mo Jun Zhou!”

Yun Xia abruptly stood up, about to walk towards him, when suddenly, a low couch in front of Mo Jun Zhou’s bed turned into powder with a “poof” sound.

This power of Divine Consciousness was obviously overflowing, indiscriminately targeting everything it touched: the low couch, the cabinet, the curtains, the wooden table…

It headed straight for Yun Xia.

Such power clearly belonged to the Demon Lord! Under the Demon Lord’s power, he would be like that low couch, without any ability to resist.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Yun Xia’s mind. Was he going to die here? This was too outrageous!

What was this kid Mo Jun Zhou doing? This was practically murdering his own husband! Even if he wasn’t satisfied with him, he didn’t need to go this far, right?

If he really died at this kid’s hands, when Esteemed Lord recovered his memories, then…

Yun Xia didn’t dare to think any further.

In that brief instant, there was no time to do anything. Just when Yun Xia thought he was really done for, the power touched his body.

Like a pebble falling into water, it stirred up ripples.

The ripples spread out in circles, then gradually returned to calm.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Yun Xia stood frozen in place, his body stiff. He could still feel the power of Divine Consciousness undiminished, and terrifying. The entire room was enveloped within it.

But after that power touched him, nothing in the room turned to powder anymore, maintaining a strange balance.

He saw the person on the bed furrowing his brow, his breathing deep and rapid, the Devil Markings gradually crawling onto his eyes.

Something was clearly wrong!

Yun Xia couldn’t care about anything else and ran forward.

“Hey! You…”

The moment he moved, the balance in the room was broken, and that power scattered with a boom, the entire room turning into dust. Yun Xia was suddenly exposed outside, next to the courtyard, and further away were the rooms of his other fellow disciples.

Yun Xia: “…”

He slowly turned his head. Mo Jun Zhou was lying on the ground, without a sound.

“…”

“Bang.”

“Bang!”

“Bang—”

Three more doors opened.

Zhu Wan’er covered her mouth in shock: “What, what happened?”

Gong Qiu: “Heavens, Senior Brother Yun Xia! You, he…”

Huai Ying was stunned: “That power just now…”

Yun Xia thought of something and immediately turned his head to look at Mo Jun Zhou. Fortunately, the Devil Markings on Mo Jun Zhou’s face had receded.

He stepped forward and helped Mo Jun Zhou up.

“Sorry, Senior Brothers, I’ll explain later, it’s just that this room…”

“Oh, oh, it’s okay, this is a spatial magic item, it can be restored.”

Then, Huai Ying cast a spell to restore his room. Yun Xia took Mo Jun Zhou back inside and placed him on the bed, then closed his eyes to examine his body.

Huai Ying and the others watched him from behind, somewhat confused and disbelieving.

After Yun Xia finished examining him, Huai Ying spoke.

“The power Junior Brother showed just now, was it really him?”

Yun Xia nodded: “Yes, it was him.”

Zhu Wan’er said, “Ah? Did you guys quarrel? Otherwise, how could such power have erupted? Are you injured?”

Yun Xia shook his head: “I’m fine.”

Gong Qiu, with a bigger heart than the others, was still touching the wall and clicking his tongue in amazement: “The whole room is gone! This isn’t an ordinary room. Besides some daily necessities, the architecture here is fortified with spells, and it can even withstand a large portion of attacks. He actually destroyed it in one go, so amazing.”

“However, if I’m not mistaken, that was an extremely refined power, as if it had been hammered thousands of times. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to resist it at all. But I’m not sure, just at that moment, I… felt a chill all over.” Zhu Wan’er was somewhat afraid.

“Ah? Is it that powerful?” Gong Qiu looked at Zhu Wan’er and Huai Ying’s expressions, scratching his head, “Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration? Why would he release such power towards Senior Brother Yun Xia?”

Huai Ying looked at Yun Xia, his expression becoming serious and cautious: “Did you guys have another conflict? I’m not sure if I sensed it wrong, after all, I don’t understand much about the power of Divine Consciousness.”

Yun Xia was secretly relieved that they didn’t understand and immediately put on a surprised expression, looking at them: “What? No, no, you guys definitely misunderstood. He’s not at that level, and we didn’t have any new conflicts.”

“Then why?”

Yun Xia put on a helpless expression: “Actually, he was cultivating just now, but you also know that we’ve been channeling a lot of spirit Qi into him these days. That power not only repaired his sea of consciousness, but the excess was also accumulated within his sea of consciousness. None of us are pure spirit cultivators, so our spirit Qi isn’t pure. Different powers gathered in one place can’t be fused, and he detonated them all at once. He didn’t expect the power to be so strong, so it turned out like this.”

“Ah? Is it because of us?”

Yun Xia looked sincere: “Yes, otherwise there’s no other reason. He’s just a Holy Lord, not a top dog of the Demon Lord’s. What we need from him isn’t his power but his wisdom, how could he have such strength.”

“That seems to make sense. If he were really that powerful, he wouldn’t have been treated so miserably by Xiao Tongfu before.” Gong Qiu nodded repeatedly.

Yun Xia seized the opportunity to continue: “Yes, speaking of which, it’s because you guys are too amazing. Spirit Qi that hasn’t been cultivated is already this powerful. Do you guys have a talent for spirit cultivation?”

“What? Hahaha, how could that be possible? It’s probably because the power of us few is too mottled, and through some twist of fate, we created such a joke. Thankfully, thankfully, Junior Brother, you’re okay.”

Gong Qiu looked proud: “Senior Brother Huai Ying, who knows? Weren’t you guys shocked just now? Maybe I should go back and have the elders test me, maybe I really have a talent for spirit cultivation.”

“Go, go, go, stop being so glib. If a blockhead like you has this talent, I’ll write my name backwards. If anyone has the talent, it’s Junior Sister Zhu, not you.”

“Ah? Senior Brother, are you looking down on me!”

Zhu Wan’er also laughed beside him: “Yes, Senior Brother, why don’t we all go back and test ourselves?”

Huai Ying was helpless: “You guys, don’t take Junior Brother Yun Xia’s words seriously.”

Yun Xia successfully dispelled their doubts and changed the subject, his heart relaxing.

“Hahaha, who knows, maybe I have some talent too, Senior Brother, remember to call me when you go.”

Huai Ying glanced at him speechlessly.

“Alright, alright, you take good care of him. We’re all going back. Sigh, today is really something, good things and bad things coming one after another. We’re all fine, but it’s possible he injured himself just now. We’re not spirit cultivators, we can only wait for him to wake up and see.”

The others left the room.

Yun Xia looked at the much emptier room and couldn’t help turning around to poke Mo Jun Zhou’s face.

“You, you say, you were so reliable when it was that time, how were you like this when you were little? What were you doing just now, making such a big commotion?”

Mo Jun Zhou didn’t give any response.

Yun Xia sighed, took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, lay down next to Mo Jun Zhou, and closed his eyes to think.

The power of Divine Consciousness just now shouldn’t have been actively controlled by Mo Jun Zhou, it was more like an instinct. At that time, Mo Jun Zhou was probably using power in his own sea of consciousness, or rather, familiarizing himself with the power. Anyway, it wasn’t like actively attacking the outside. The overflowing power was clearly caused by him not being able to perfectly control it.

Yun Xia remembered that similar things had happened before, and when Esteemed Lord was unconscious, his power hadn’t hurt him either.

Thinking of this, Yun Xia’s eyes felt a little hot. He turned to face Mo Jun Zhou’s direction, quietly looking at him.

Esteemed Lord, long time no see. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you while you have amnesia. I’ll always be by your side, ready to wait for you to come back.

Just… don’t make me wait too long.

He reached out and hugged Mo Jun Zhou, burying his face in Mo Jun Zhou’s shoulder, and slowly fell asleep in the familiar scent of cold fragrance.

Mo Jun Zhou was still in his own sea of consciousness.

When he was controlling his power just now, an accident happened. For a moment, he felt that his entire sea of consciousness had broken free from his control.

This was very bizarre.

Even more bizarre was that he couldn’t get out of this sea of consciousness space now!
