273: The Secret of "Shuiyue Tianhan Jue"

Inside the System World.

Luo Shuihan wore only a thin, transparent veil, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked towards the highest point…

Aside from the surrounding colossal statues, at the highest point of this world was a man, none other than Mu Wuchen…

At this moment, Luo Shuihan sensed her current state and her brows immediately furrowed.

For no other reason than that she could no longer feel the bone-chilling coldness and the despair of impending death that had just plagued her body…

She seemed to be… fine…

But how could this be possible?

According to all records in the Water Moon Immortal Palace, once the backlash of the Water Moon Heaven Chill Art began, it was irreversible.

Even to preserve one's life, it required perfect timing, location, and human harmony, and the practitioner's cultivation had to be low. Not to mention the current situation, where she, a Supreme Realm cultivator, seemed to suffer no side effects whatsoever…

The changes in Luo Shuihan’s body were naturally Mu Wuchen’s doing.

Within the System Divine Hall, he was the emperor of this world, possessing power far beyond Luo Shuihan’s comprehension…

Here, stopping the backlash of the icy power within Luo Shuihan's body was a mere trifle.

Previously, Luo Shuihan was suffering from the bitter cold and on the verge of death, so she hadn't noticed her own state.

Now, she sat limply on the ground. Although her body was still very weak, she was clearly out of danger, and only then did she notice her current situation…

Even though she was covered by a transparent veil, there was virtually no difference; her entire snow-white body was visible to Mu Wuchen’s eyes…

She instinctively panicked, crossing her arms over her chest to cover herself, then frantically glanced around, seemingly searching for her clothes…

But she found nothing but emptiness all around!

She immediately tried to mobilize the power within her body to re-condense clothing for herself.

However, she found that she was now like a complete ordinary person, without a shred of cultivation, unable to mobilize even a trace of power…

This feeling of becoming a powerless ordinary person immediately caused Luo Shuihan to panic.

Although Luo Shuihan spoke bravely when she was in the midst of the icy cold, how could someone accustomed to immense power truly adapt so easily once all that power was lost?

Mu Wuchen sat high on the main seat above, beckoning to Luo Shuihan.

“Come here.”

Hearing Mu Wuchen’s voice, Luo Shuihan’s heart stirred.

Upon hearing Mu Wuchen’s voice now, her previously panicked heart inexplicably felt a sense of peace…

Did he save her?

But in her current state, he actually wanted her to walk over…

However, after a moment of struggle, she still stood up and, with a flushed face and some trepidation, walked hesitantly towards Mu Wuchen…

Upon reaching Mu Wuchen, Luo Shuihan subtly, almost imperceptibly, shielded her body, but her head was turned to the side, her eyes flickering, not daring to look at Mu Wuchen…

Looking at her current state and her self-deceiving attempts to cover herself, Mu Wuchen found it somewhat amusing.

However, Mu Wuchen was quite happy to see her like this.

Compared to those women who had lived for tens of thousands of years, whose delicate emotions had long been worn away, who had severed all ties of love and emotion, and whose hearts were like dust, the current Luo Shuihan was clearly more interesting to tease…

Mu Wuchen casually pointed to his leg, indicating for her to sit on his lap, wanting to check her current condition…

But Luo Shuihan, whether out of ingrained habit or because she was distracted, didn't understand Mu Wuchen’s meaning. She instinctively, as if by reflex, knelt before Mu Wuchen with a soft thud, just as she usually would…

Mu Wuchen paused slightly, then pointed to his leg again and spoke faintly.

“I want you to sit here.”

Hearing Mu Wuchen’s words, Luo Shuihan seemed to understand something, and her face instantly flushed even deeper…

“Ah…”

Luo Shuihan suddenly let out a soft cry, stood up flustered, and then awkwardly sat on Mu Wuchen’s lap…

Feeling the man's aura behind her, and seemingly remembering something, her breathing and heartbeat instantly quickened…

Mu Wuchen wrapped one arm around her waist and gently placed his other hand on her lower abdomen. In an instant, he knew Luo Shuihan's current physical condition…

Her body was indeed leaking…

The cultivation method she practiced, the Water Moon Heaven Chill Art, was somewhat unique.

Mu Wuchen had already discovered during his previous interactions with Luo Shuihan that her physique was not particularly strong; despite her Supreme Realm cultivation, her physical body was only at the level of a late Emperor Realm…

Now, after a thorough examination of her body, Mu Wuchen finally understood the reason.

When cultivating ordinary martial arts, power typically originates from the Dantian and spreads throughout the limbs and bones, allowing the entire body to mobilize the cultivated power.

And this power naturally tempers the physique.

However, the Water Moon Heaven Chill Art that Luo Shuihan cultivated was somewhat special.

She concentrated all her icy power in her lower abdomen, at her Dantian…

The advantage of this was that by focusing cultivation on a single point, it was easier to cultivate the path of ice to its extreme. Moreover, during combat, because she only needed to mobilize power from one location, her reactions were faster, and the power she could mobilize was stronger…

Therefore, even though her physique wasn't particularly strong, because she could quickly mobilize icy power to protect her entire body, it was not easy for strong individuals of the same realm to harm her…

But everything has its pros and cons…

Because the Water Moon Heaven Chill Art concentrated all the icy power in one place, the physique was not as strong.

Furthermore, because it needed to store all the extreme cold power of the entire body, it placed extremely high demands on the Dantian's power, allowing for no damage whatsoever…

And the Dantian is precisely where a woman's primordial yin and a man's primordial yang are stored. Therefore, once a woman cultivating the Water Moon Heaven Chill Art lost her virginity, it was equivalent to directly piercing a hole in the Dantian, with unimaginable consequences…

Luo Shuihan, sitting on Mu Wuchen’s lap, seemed to know that Mu Wuchen behind her was examining her body. Therefore, even though she was sitting on Mu Wuchen’s lap almost naked, appearing strange and shameful, she still waited quietly…

Mu Wuchen waved his hand, and a blue crystal orb the size of a palm appeared in his palm. Within the crystal orb was a rich and pure icy power…

Upon seeing this blue crystal orb, Luo Shuihan’s expression subtly changed. A feeling both familiar and strange arose in her heart…

That was her power, which Mu Wuchen had extracted from her body using special means…

And the reason she felt strange was that she now faced what was once her own power, yet she could not feel the slightest connection…

She moved her fingers, and a sense of loss welled up within her.

One does not know to cherish what one has until it is lost; only once it is gone does one understand the preciousness of what was once possessed…

Suddenly, Luo Shuihan’s eyes flickered.

She gently leaned her body against Mu Wuchen’s chest…

Now that she had no power, the only one she could rely on was the man behind her…

If Mu Wuchen also abandoned her, she would truly have nothing left but this body…

She didn't even have clothes…

But with her current state, hoping to gain Mu Wuchen’s approval was probably just a pipe dream…
