Qin Chuan's words startled the woman. She didn't understand why he was saying such things to her at this time.
She understood the literal meaning, even that it was a good thing, but she couldn't feel any benefit, given the current predicament.
The man from the overlord's mansion was still thinking about breaking Qin Chuan's formation.
Qin Chuan's formation didn't seem particularly sophisticated, but the more he tried to break it, the more profound its mysteries became, making him increasingly uneasy.
The woman frowned, because Qin Chuan wasn't speaking and was still staring at her intently, making her uneasy.
She had never felt this way before; she didn't know why, but she was just uneasy, and she wasn't used to Qin Chuan looking at her like this.
"Why are you looking at me?" the woman asked, puzzled.
"Our survival depends on you. You must break the shackles today. You must rebuild the Great Dao of Forgetfulness," Qin Chuan said.
"It's impossible. My Dao foundation is damaged. How can I rebuild it? Without a foundation, it's like a castle in the air. How can I rebuild it?" the woman asked, confused.
She only knew that once her Dao foundation was broken, it was all over. As for the saying "no destruction, no construction," or "destruction before construction," she knew, but the probability was like being neither dead nor alive, or dying and being reborn—the probability and difficulty were too great.
She had never thought she could do it, and she had never thought her Dao would be broken, even though Qin Chuan's physique was very attractive to her. She still hadn't thought such a day would come.
She knew very well, even after sleeping for ten thousand years, that she was confident in herself. Although her relationship with Qin Chuan was special, she still hadn't considered the possibility of her Dao foundation being broken.
But sometimes, surprises come suddenly, and nightmares come suddenly too, catching her completely off guard.
Qin Chuan laughed: "Why is it impossible? Rebuilding the Dao foundation, wherever it's broken, just rebuild it. It's very simple. Why do you say it's impossible?"
"A broken mirror is hard to mend. Even if it's mended, it won't be the same mirror as before. Can that work?" The woman looked at Qin Chuan.
"Why does it have to be the same mirror as before? As long as it's a mirror, isn't that enough? In fact, this kind of mirror is no worse than the previous one, don't you think?" Qin Chuan was like a big bad wolf tempting a little white rabbit.
The woman frowned slightly: "Let's not even talk about how difficult it is to succeed. Even if it does, it's impossible to surpass the previous state. It will be completely different, perhaps even leading to qi deviation."
Qin Chuan knew that the situation the woman described was extremely common, with a probability of over 90%. Otherwise, the saying "no destruction, no construction" wouldn't be so legendary.
However, Qin Chuan had seen a glimpse of this trajectory due to a special reason: his physique and the coincidence of his Golden Divine Eyes.
This was an ability gained after the Golden Divine Eyes broke through, but Qin Chuan didn't know it until now. It was actually seeing through illusions and the origins of things.
In fact, even with Qin Chuan's current Golden Divine Eyes, he couldn't see it. It was only because of the difference in their physiques that he saw it.
And it was still a coincidence, because Qin Chuan couldn't see it clearly anymore, but what he saw before was imprinted in his mind.
"Are you afraid?" Qin Chuan asked.
"No, there's no need to be afraid. It can't get any worse than it is now."
"Good, then listen to me, rebuild your foundation, and do as I say. Remember, you must do exactly as I say," Qin Chuan emphasized.
The woman looked at Qin Chuan, not speaking immediately, but not hesitantly either. She looked at him with a hint of confusion, not doubt.
She agreed and began to rebuild her foundation. Many people with damaged foundations wouldn't consider rebuilding them, as the risk of qi deviation was extremely high.
A damaged foundation meant a significant drop in cultivation, but it didn't cripple them; they could still live. Therefore, no one attempted to rebuild their foundation.
Even with incredible luck, avoiding qi deviation, the rebuilt foundation was essentially useless, no different from not rebuilding at all.
Following Qin Chuan's instructions, the woman slowly began rebuilding her foundation. This was a rare experience; in another environment, it might have been terrifying.
Anyone would feel the same way, as it concerned life and death, and qi deviation could be worse than death. Rebuilding a foundation had almost a thousand possible outcomes, each worse than the last. Unless one wanted to die, no one would attempt it.
But the woman felt something special. This was a rare experience, and regardless of success or failure, since she had decided to do it, she would experience it fully.
All of this was because of Qin Chuan. It was Qin Chuan who made the woman do this. She was calm now, knowing it was because of Qin Chuan; otherwise, even in such circumstances, it would be difficult to remain so calm.
Time passed slowly. The man from the Overlord Mansion tried to break the formation outside. This man from the Overlord Mansion might not be particularly skilled in formations, but he had many methods for breaking them.
He tried to break the formation one by one, and after several attempts, he became even more uneasy. This formation had to be broken, otherwise, there would be endless trouble, and he himself might even suffer losses within it.
Therefore, he didn't want to delay any longer, lest things get complicated. He gritted his teeth and took out a crystal-clear, dark purple stone.
Like a star, it was very bright and also very evil, making people who saw it unable to help but feel stunned.
The Immortal-Slaying Stone!
This was a terrifying stone of destruction formed from the condensation of heaven and earth. It was said that it could destroy legendary immortals, but this was not known; it was just a legend.
However, this Immortal-Slaying Stone had a powerful ability: breaking formations, because it contained powerful heaven and earth energy.
Formations actually rely on the energy of heaven and earth, especially powerful ones. The Immortal-Slaying Stone can completely disrupt the balance of this energy within a formation, causing it to explode.
The man was going all out this time. A single domain had already weakened him considerably, and now, for some unknown reason, he had been weakened even further.
Fortunately, his opponent's foundation was broken; otherwise, the young lady might have been able to kill him outright. Even if she couldn't kill him instantly, he certainly wouldn't have lasted ten moves.
He knew this very well, so to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, he had to eliminate these two people. Once they were gone, he could finally rest easy and be worry-free.
Gritting his teeth, he threw the Immortal-Slaying Stone at the formation.
Boom!
The energy of heaven and earth fluctuated violently, a tremendous roar erupting as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, plunging the world into darkness.
The formation was broken!
Qin Chuan sensed it immediately and knew it would break, but he had already left with the woman.
Or perhaps the formation was simply empty.
Qin Chuan didn't believe his formation was unbreakable. To allow a woman to rebuild her foundation, she naturally needed a safe place, so he left the formation.
The formation was broken, but nothing remained. The man from the Overlord's Mansion frowned as he looked at the mess and the smoke before him.
Because he didn't know if the other party had perished in the formation, the Immortal-Slaying Stone was extremely powerful; it could not only break the formation but also destroy everything within it.
