“What is this thing that it would actually be so effective for souls?!” Wu Lingyu asked.

“Soul Fluid. It’s very effective for the soul and mental energy.” Sima You Yue said, “At that time, Mo Sha was really very weak. I used this to help him recover bit by bit.”

“So effective!” Wu Lingyu was very curious towards this soul fluid. He had felt that his soul was extremely strong when he met Mo Sha just now, but never thought that he had used this to recover.

“That’s true, he has been trying for a few tens of thousands of years. Even if his soul managed to persevere, it couldn’t possibly be that strong.” Old Man Devil said. Then, he turned to Sima You Yue and beamed at her, “Obedient disciple, do you have a lot of this, give me a bit too!”

“Didn’t you want to kill me to seal my mouth just now!” Sima You Yue said.

Old Man Devil’s skin was really thick as he said, “Your Senior Brother searching for the other half of his soul has always been a secret, but you suddenly blurted it out. I just suspected that you were someone who Ten Thousand Flower Valley who got close to us to harm us. Now I know you aren’t, so aren’t you still my obedient disciple?”

“Hmph!” Sima You Yue snorted and still pulled a long face.

“Oh my obedient disciple, there’s no need to be so calculative towards your master.” Old Man Devil actually acted coquettish while tugging on Sima You Yue’s sleeve, causing the two disciples to break out into goosebumps all over.

“Hmph, Master, you have to compensate me for my suffering.” Sima You Yue said.

“Sure, when you go to the Divine Devil Valley, you can take whatever you want.” Old Man Devil straightforwardly replied.

“You already said that that day. It’s a greeting gift, not a compensation.” Sima You Yue said.

“Then what compensation do you want?” Old Man Devil messed up his white hair, saying, “Why don’t you tell me what you want?”

“How would I know what you have!” Sima You Yue’s expression was ugly.

“Old Man, why don’t you give her your ring.” Wu Lingyu said from the side.

“That will do! In any case, it will be hers in a matter of time.” Old Man Devil nodded as he replied.

“What use is this ring?” Sima You Yue asked.

“It can mobilise the forces of a large portion of the Divine Devil Valley.” Old Man Devil said, “It’s a symbol of authority! It can also mobilise the forces in some cities.”

“So powerful?!” Sima You Yue looked at Old Man Devil, saying, “This shouldn’t be the symbol of your Divine Devil Valley’s Owner, right?”

“Of course it isn’t. Even if I wanted to give it to you, you wouldn’t be able to wear it.” Old Man Devil said.

“Why not?” Even a ring had a requirement?

“It naturally has its dangers.” Wu Lingyu said.

“Then where is that ring you were talking about?” She asked.

“This one.”

Old Man Devil took out a thumb ring and handed it to Sima You Yue, saying, “Here, see whether or not you can put it on.”

Sima You Yue took the ring and inspected it. There was a skull engraved on top of its Carnelian gemstone, and the skull had two things that looks like two drops of blood for eyes.

“Why does this thing look so evil? It shouldn’t be of the devil clan right?” She raised her head and asked when she saw it.

“Turn it over and see.” Wu Lingyu said.

Sima You Yue suspiciously did as she was told, then her eyes grew wide, saying, “It changed into a fairy! How strange, how does it do it?”

“There’s no need to be curious about it.” Old Man Devil said, “This ring chooses its master. Most people can’t wear it, why don’t you try.”

“Oh.” Sima You Yue took the ring and placed it on the thumb of her right hand. She immediately felt a refreshing aura surge through her thumb to her brain. However, she had no time to say that it felt good, as a wave of hot aura came after.

Waves of the hot and cold aura interlocked, as if it was contesting over who would take over the body.

Suddenly, she felt as if her own soul was flying up then landing. The surroundings started to retreat, and she was no longer standing on the mountain by the time her eyes had gotten adjusted to the surroundings.

“Where is this place? Eh? there’s movement.” She felt as if a spiritual power was moving far away and planned to go and take a look to see if there was anyone she could find to ask where this place was, along the way.

Sima You Yue continued to walk forward and it was only when she felt that her legs were about to break that she reached the front of that large mountain.

“There’s no one!” She muttered, “Then where did that undulation come from?”

As she continued to walk forward, she felt her consciousness slowly fade away.

“What’s going on? I can’t fall asleep here.” She immediately told herself that she could not faint, and forcefully bit her own lip, using the pain to stimulate her mind.

“It was clearly bright, why did it suddenly turn dark?” A man’s sharp voice cut through her daze, as if drawing on a dry bowstring.

Sima You Yue felt as if her own muddled brain was becoming much clearer.

“What is right and what is wrong?” A beautiful voice sounded beside her ear, and it carried a trace of lamentation.

Sima You Yue’s mind was suddenly clear as the surroundings around her shifted and she landed in a patch of snow. She saw a skull and a beautiful woman standing opposite her in the snow.

“I feel that things that are right are right.” Skull said, as if he was replying the woman’s question from before.

“The world responds only to the light and shuns the darkness.” The lady said as well.

Suddenly, the two turned around to look at Sima You Yue, asking, “What do you think is right and wrong? What is light and darkness?”

Sima You Yue looked at the two of them. They looked similar to the two on her ring. When they turned to look at her, she felt as if her soul was being attacked.

“Reply quickly!” Skull shouted.

“Friend, take your time to think.” The lady smiled gently.

Sima You Yue took a deep breath and said, “There is no absolute right or wrong in the world. For every situation, there will be a different way of looking at things. To say things simply, if someone kills your family, you will take revenge and kill that person. For you, this is right. But the later generation of that person you killed will say that you are wrong.”

“Light and darkness, which should exist?” The two people asked simultaneously, as if she really had to choose just one.

“Light as darkness are actually interdependent on each other. None can leave the other.” Sima You Yue said, “With light, there will be darkness, with disappointment, there will also be hope.”

“Rubbish, how can light and darkness coexist!” Even the lady was angered at this point.

Sima You Yue was not angered as she pointed at the boundless snow, “This looks to be pure white, doesn’t it look clean? But what about below?”

She squatted down and dug away the snow, revealing a patch of mud.

“Also.” She released a fireball and took a piece of wood, saying, “The front of this board is light, but what about the back of it? A shadow.”

Skull and the lady did not speak, as if they were deep in thought.

Sima You Yue retracted the flame, saying, “The most obvious one is that there is day and night. Can you say that the world only needs the day, or only needs the night?”

She initially thought that the two would refute her, but the lady smiled unexpectedly, saying, “Very good. Your thinking is correct, you can’t generalise everything. No matter right or wrong, light or dark, there are no absolutes. You passed our test, you may go.”

Sima You Yue had not yet reacted. She merely felt a wave of dizziness and saw Old Man Devil and Wu Lingyu looking at her with shock when she opened her eyes.
