Dance Of The Phoenix
169. Mentality Improvements

"How long have I been here?" Gu Yuena looked at the endless darkness in front of her. The nightmare was over, but everything was empty. He could not find what he could see or hear or feel. He was empty for a long time.

It doesn't hurt, but it feels sad. Gu Yuena was like waiting for someone to pick her up to go to the afterlife gate. He was alone in the dark.

One day feels like 1000 years. But he had no idea, it had been like this for over a month. This was the longest time for him to fall asleep.

His hope is currently only one. Die more quickly. He did not want to be in a dark and frightening place, where he could even hear his own heartbeat. Too scary.

Gu Yuena did not move from her place. He knew there would be no way home. He just waited in silence and passively. He was numb and felt like an inanimate object.

"Mrs ...."

The faintly shaded voice was faintly heard in Gu Yuena's ears. Gu Yuena gasped for a moment, not expecting her to hear a voice amidst this darkness and silence. His heart became more agitated.

Gu Yuena was unable to find the origin of the sound because the voice came from her mind directly. He thought he had gone crazy to the point of being able to hear a voice that was not clear of its origin.

One thing was certain, that soft voice belonged to Bai Youzhe.

Gu Yuena clenched her fists tightly, feeling her emotional turmoil again rise. He wants to stay alive ....

But how could he live in such a state? When he woke up, he could not even see the light anymore. Actually, it's not something to be afraid of. Forget about his sight, he couldn't even get up, what could he do?

He looked at both of his hands and channeled red magic like a thin amgin. At least his strength was still there, although it was useless for now.

Perhaps ...he could leave a message through his spiritual awareness. He could not wake up, but by exhausting all of his strength, he could form a spiritual consciousness to be left behind before his death.

Gu Yuena smiled gently looking towards the red magic in her hand. Bai Youzhe, you should live well after this.

Gu Yuena closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again. His gray eyes slightly shone with a red color while moving his hands upwards, then thrusting his strength. The cinnabar phoenix between his eyebrows shone like blood. The magic inside shot out, meeting the two magic from both hands of Gu Yuena who came from two different magic circles.

The magic circle he carved himself as well as the magic circle of Yan Shuiyin's relics, fused in the sky when it met the phoenix power of the cinnabar on his brows. It slowly formed a shadowy figure that resembled her, yet without any ripples of emotion. There was a feeling of emptiness and complexity in his red eyes.

Gu Yuena was just about to convey something, the shadow suddenly flickered and looked at her sharply. Gu Yuena fell silent immediately.

"Are you desperate for not getting out of here, or for the mental pressure you just received?"

The question came out from the shadow, making Gu Yuena frown. Gu Yuena could not answer him.

"How selfish are you."

Gu Yuena did not say anything. The shadow in front of her was a reflection of her and would reveal whatever she wanted. Gu Yuena just laughed at herself.

"You're cruel and cold-blooded, but you're also fragile and weak. You always feel like everything is in your reckoning, but don't expect someone to easily destroy the plans you've put together and bring you into the dark. You also become blind. In history, no ruler of a race was under one's protection. You're just embarrassed."

"Tempo?"

"You don't even have the courage to reveal yourself directly. You were injured at Li Hua's hand, then injured because of Yang Xinyuan. You are dying because of yourself, because you do not want to show yourself again in front of everyone as the ruler of a powerful race. You never showed your full strength and lost after expending an excessive amount of small strength without being able to take out your potential. Underestimating the opponent was a fatal act."

Gu Yuena clenched her fists even tighter. Right, it's all his fault. He made the wrong decision and caused a lot of destruction. He did not immediately take action, but rather enjoyed death and made the enemy stronger. He never took war seriously and with full force stably. He relied on his negative emotions and united with the ibls of heart for not being confident of being able to fight Li Hua, his own mother.

He was quite strong, but weak at the same time. It also left him trapped in a long darkness and never awake. Because his mind was confused and wanted death. He was tired and wanted to take everything off in vain. After all, he would not feel sick and agitated again after dying. This was just like letting himself die in the dark without even trying.

Bai Youzhe had sealed the nightmare magic. The rest will be up to how Gu Yuena handles her own emotions. It's not about strength, it's about mentality and belief. Her nightmare became deadly because she was never willing to be with all the chaos she was in.

Gu Yuena was usually always confident so that magic witches did not affect her too much. But ever since his defeat at Wyvernia, and suffering a crushing blow under Yang Xinyuan's tactics, his mentality had become chaotic and the desire to live soon decreased. He never fails. Once it fails, it will fall very hard and difficult to resurrect.

Only he can cure the disease.

Gu Yuena pulled out all her magic power so that the shadow shrank and melted into her body. Lately Gu Yuena seems to have indeed deviated from the road he used to go through. After experiencing this, he was enlightened.

Not his tactics or strength was wrong, but his mentality. This time, it will not be wrong again.

Gu Yuena raised the red magic in both her hands upwards, then spread throughout the darkness. He had been strong enough all along, but he lacked confidence and had always underestimated himself. He was no ordinary level 9 cultivator. He was a phoenix, the owner of the phoenix blood and the Phoenix Queen. Moreover, he was the strongest soul force controller. How could it be defeated by this dark and empty space?

The red magic swirled around and gave light to the darkness. Inside there, there was nothing else in sight other than red magic gathering around Gu Yuena until everything around her became blood red and pitch-black.

Gu Yuena's gray eyes reflected the red radiance swarming around her, as if she was inside a ball of red-colored light filled with pure phoenix flame aura. The red light was burning and dancing like fire.

Peatian beam solidifies. It was like a raging fire and covered Gu Yuena's entire body like a shell and covered her entire gaze. In Gu Yuena's eyes, there was no other color other than blazing blood red.

His soul was developing very rapidly and recovering the injuries on his body. His regeneration accelerated as Gu Yuena increased the insetity of magic power to a higher level and reached her limit. His body was filled with blazing flames and emitted a pitch-red glow within the darkness.

The beam shrank towards his body, making Gu Yuena no longer visible as the beam solidified towards him. As Gu Yuena had reached her limit and caused some rifts in the dark space, Gu Yuena unleashed all of the magic and triggered an explosion within her spiritual realm.

The surrounding darkness exploded, disappearing into the wind and being replaced by a red space where red magic danced in the air. This is his own spiritual realm. Gu Yuena slightly smiled looking at this familiar place.

On the other hand, the heart demon that weakened without being able to stand up from the start only looked at it with a crazy smile, before finally disappearing. Gu Yuena's body turned into a phoenix with black-colored soul power surrounding her.

No matter if he was blind or not, it would not change anything. He was only blind, not deaf and mute so could still maintain his perception and hearing in battle. The impact will not be too great.

He faced silence again and again to organize his thoughts with a more complete rationality. It has many deviations in its logic, so it must be deeply corrected to gain enlightenment and become better. Otherwise, he would continue to be trapped until the nightmare seal came off and he was again tortured.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

I don't know how long time has passed. Gu Yuena had found her consciousness. He realized that all his senses had begun to function when he felt the night breeze from the window that hit his skin. In addition, there was a kind of thick cloth covering him, as well as a burly hand that hugged him warmly. She feels very warm.

He was surprised to see that the light had entered his eyes. Although it was too blurry to see, and there was still darkness accompanying it, he was still able to see someone sleeping nearby while hugging him. Their faces were close together, their foreheads touching each other in a tilted position.

Gu Yuena could hardly believe it. From the warm breath of the man in front of her, she instantly recognized and could not help but smile gently. He grabbed the man's face, then gave him a gentle swab before feeling his finger touch the water on his face.

She cried?

As soon as it touched her face, Gu Yuena's entire gaze darkened and no longer saw the features of the man she wanted so badly to see. His eyes returned gray with a tinge of red in which his original eye color was maintained.

Gu Yuena was not agitated. She just smiled wryly and went to sneak into the arms of the man who was her husband.

Bai Youzhe realized something was moving in front of her. When he opened his eyes, he was filled with shock when he saw Gu Yuena who had come to hug him. Unknowingly, Bai Youzhe hugged him tighter, very tightly with an overwhelming feeling.

Her nana is awake!

This is an amazing thing!

Previously Bai Youzhe was extremely frightened and almost crazed when she felt Gu Yuena's vitality plummeting drastically. He had never left this room for over a month Gu Yuena was in a coma. Even if Gu Yuena was in a coma for many years, Bai Youzhe would not leave her.

During that period, Bai Youzhe took care of it very well. It was like he was taking care of a baby. Replace her clean clothes and provide her with nutrition. Although Gu Yuena was in a coma, she still had to get nutrition to maintain her body so that her organs could continue to run smoothly. She could neither eat nor drink, so Bai Youzhe gave her a medicine that served as a meal replacement for Gu Yuena.

In addition, he also often talked to Gu Yuena, although there was no word. Then she would hug Gu Yuena with a chaotic feeling like she was about to cry.

It lasted for more than a month until today. It was night, everyone was asleep. Who would have thought Gu Yuena would suddenly wake up as if all was well?

Except for his discolored eyes ....

Bai Youzhe had yet to realize it as she still hugged Gu Yuena tightly. Gu Yuena also did not reject him and looked very comfortable.

"I've been so scared lately. You didn't wake up for more than a month, I thought you were gonna leave me." Bai Youzhe's voice sounded hoarse.

"Since when did His Majesty Bai become so timid? I'm always okay."

"How can it be okay? When the nightmare magic is sealed, you should have woken up in a few days. Even if not in a few days, at least your vitals will be awake ...." Bai Youzhe could not think about it anymore.

A few days ago, Gu Yuena's vitality was suddenly unstable and showed signs of stopping. Gu Yuena was on the verge of death. His spiritual power was also chaotic. How is he not worried?

Gu Yuena just smiled. "My fault." He almost ended his life at that time. It must have been what made his vitality decrease and caused panic.

Bai Youzhe shook her head. "It's not your fault. I'm not taking good care of you. I should have found you earlier, or the nightmare magic wouldn't have been triggered." As he said so, Bai Youzhe reproached herself for not being competent enough.

"You're handling Yang Xinyuan, how could it be that fast to finish it? That alone is already a huge help."

Bai Youzhe smiled wryly. "Nana, I know you met Yang Xinyuan, who made the nightmare magic triggered. The one who fought with me was only a clone. Cloning is still cloning. I should have been conscious from the beginning. It's my fault."

"That's all gone. I'm fine too. No need to worry." Gu Yuena became softer at this moment and closed her eyes comfortably. He still did not say that he lost his sight. Bai Youzhe would definitely be more anxious.

"I'll figure out a way to get the nightmare magic removed from your body completely." Bai Youzhe promised.

Gu Yuena only cleared her throat briefly as a sahutan. Bai Youzhe gave her too many good things and continued to protect her, Gu Yuena felt helpless. How could he repay her?

He must not continue to rely on Bai Youzhe. Due to relying too much on someone, he became unstable and unable to develop. He had to let go of the feeling of relying on and being himself.

Bai Youzhe stretched her arms and looked towards Gu Yuena. He aligned his head with Gu Yuena, looking at her deeply without letting go of his two hands that hugged Gu Yuena's waist tightly.

"I miss you so much." Bai Youzhe wanted to see that face longer. A face filled with life, not a sleeping face that will leave without saying goodbye at any time.

Gu Yuena subconsciously opened her eyes. Then he remembered that he could not see Bai Youzhe and sighed inwardly. Bai Youzhe so looked at her gray eyes, but it seemed like the man was not surprised and just looked at her.

Without asking, Bai Youzhe already understood. Gu Yuena could not maintain her sight after that terrifying blow. He had already promised to find a way to restore Gu Yuena's vision by any means, just like releasing nightmare magic. He would try with his life like when suppressing the fire poison in Gu Yuena's body.

During this period, she would become Gu Yuena's eyes, just like she had once shown.
