Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

Just as her mental space was on the verge of complete collapse, the patterns on her spatial seed suddenly flickered, and countless source codes flew towards the four walls of her mental space, stabilizing the collapsing space.

Chu Qiuchi suddenly felt her mind clear and realized that she still had a chance. She immediately turned over and stood up, running towards the cave entrance with all her might.

Countless blood bats followed closely behind, and mental attacks surged forth again like a tide. However, thanks to the maintenance of the source code, the pain felt by Chu Qiuchi was still within his tolerance range.

She moved with incredible speed, accelerating once more, and finally burst out of the cave like a blur. She quickly darted up a large tree not far from the cave entrance and disappeared into the darkness.

The blood bats that followed them out seemed to have suddenly lost their target. After circling in the air for a while, they flew back to the cave in a sparse manner.

Watching the blood bats finally fly back to the cave, Chu Qiuchi finally relaxed, slumping onto a tree and panting heavily. She secretly rejoiced; thankfully, she hadn't almost become Sleeping Beauty.

After catching her breath, she tried to check her mental space, only to find that she couldn't mobilize her mental energy.

Chu Qiuchi pondered silently, unsure whether this was permanent or temporary. But at least she was still conscious, which was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. What more could she ask for? Why ask for so much?

She quickly composed herself and was about to jump down from the tree to find Ji Moyu and the others when she suddenly saw a blur of motion rushing towards her. She immediately cried out excitedly, "Little one—"

Before he could even utter the word "Fish," he had already dashed into the cave like the wind.

Chu Qiuchi hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Little Fish, I'm outside!"

In the stillness of the night, the sound startled a flock of birds and beasts. A short while later, the figure emerged again, followed by a swarm of blood bats.

He quickly hid behind a tree not far from the cave entrance, patiently waiting for all the blood bats to fly back into the cave before cautiously emerging. He took out a fluorescent light and began searching for Chu Qiuchi in the darkness.

Seeing this, Chu Qiuchi immediately leaped lightly down from the tree and landed silently behind him. Her eyes were full of smiles as she tilted her head and gently patted his shoulder, intending to give him a surprise.

"Little Fish, I—" she was about to speak when Ji Moyu seemed to sense something, suddenly turned around, and hugged her tightly.

Chu Qiuchi instantly felt her blood rush to her head, and she fainted from the excitement. Before her consciousness faded, she sighed inwardly: Beauty truly can be a trap! How utterly shameful!

Seeing Chu Qiuchi suddenly faint, a look of horror appeared on Ji Moyu's usually calm face. His hands trembled as he carefully picked her up. After releasing his spiritual power to sense her and finding that she had really just fainted, he was relieved.

He stood there for a moment until his legs gradually regained their strength, then he took a step and carried Chu Qiuchi toward the direction where Chu Yichen and the others were hiding.

Upon seeing the two return, Chu Yichen rushed forward. When he saw Chu Qiuchi being held by Ji Moyu, her eyes closed as if she had fallen into a deep sleep, his emotions instantly collapsed, and tears streamed down his face.

"Sister... Sister, wake up! Open your eyes and look at me! How am I supposed to explain this to Mom and Dad when I get home? Get up! Sister..."

Ji Moyu calmly interrupted Chu Yichen's grief-stricken cries, saying lightly, "She just fainted."

He wiped away his tears, hiccuped, and said in a trembling voice, "You, are you telling the truth? My sister really just fainted, she didn't... she didn't fall into a deep sleep?" As he spoke, he began to release his mental energy to sense Chu Qiuchi's specific condition.

"Huh, my mental energy..." Chu Yichen suddenly noticed that a trace of the mental energy he had channeled into Chu Qiuchi's body seemed to be absorbed.

He wondered if he was imagining things, so he tried to input his mental energy again, only to find that the same thing happened again and another trace of his mental energy was absorbed.

He simply couldn't believe it. My God, how could this be? He had never heard of anyone being able to absorb another person's spiritual energy. Despite his shock, Chu Yichen tried his best to suppress his emotions and said calmly to Ji Moyu, "Then give her to me, I'll take her to rest."

Ji Moyu's eyes darkened slightly, and his arms around Chu Qiuchi tightened unconsciously, but he eventually let go and handed Chu Qiuchi over to Chu Yichen.

Chu Yichen carefully lifted Chu Qiuchi to the side and gently set her down. Then, he held her hand tightly and silently continued to channel his spiritual energy into her, his eyes filled with concern and confusion.

As Chu Yichen continuously channeled his mental energy, the source code within the walls of Chu Qiuchi's mental space, which had been preventing its collapse, began to emit a faint light, gradually becoming active and slowly repairing the cracks in her mental space.

While unconscious, Chu Qiuchi felt her consciousness being soothed by a gentle force, feeling exceptionally comfortable. The intense pain caused by the damage to her mental space gradually dissipated, and her slightly furrowed brows relaxed. Seeing this, Chu Yichen felt a surge of joy and continued to channel his mental energy into her.

After losing his mental energy for five consecutive days, Chu Qiuchi still showed no signs of waking up, causing Chu Yichen some anxiety.

Two days ago, Puyang Minghui and Nalan Xingyao had already woken up from their coma. Whenever Puyang Minghui saw Chu Qiuchi still unconscious after waking up, she would be overwhelmed with deep self-blame and sorrow. She felt that if it weren't for her, Chu Qiuchi and Nalan Xingyao wouldn't have been injured.

Every time she thought about these things, tears would involuntarily stream down her cheeks. Chu Yichen and Nalan Xingyao tried to comfort her for a long time, but to no avail.

Seeing Puyang Minghui's eyes welling up with tears again, Nalan Xingyao gently walked over, took her hand, and said softly, "Minghui, don't cry, let's go cultivate! Our spiritual power hasn't fully recovered yet. Have you forgotten that our mission isn't finished? Are you already thinking of giving up?"

Puyang Minghui raised her head and rubbed her red and swollen eyes. "I... I can't calm down at all right now. Every time I close my eyes, I think of the scene in the cave where you fell to the ground to save me, and Qiu Chi lying there motionless. I'm so scared... If she doesn't wake up, I will never have peace of mind for the rest of my life." Before she could finish speaking, she broke down in tears again.

Chu Yichen couldn't help but come over and gently pat Puyang Minghui's shoulder, comforting her, "Minghui, my sister is just unconscious, have you forgotten? Brother Yu said she was conscious before he saw her! She will definitely wake up!"

"She will wake up!" Ji Moyu's voice came firmly and calmly, as if he were comforting Puyang Minghui, or perhaps comforting himself.

Everyone anxiously awaited Chu Qiuchi's awakening. Time passed second by second, and two days quietly slipped by again. She remained lying there quietly, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
