Chapter 263 – A Year Later, The Fourth Wife, Something Amiss, Commanding the Eternal Demon Bloom - Part 2
Another half-month flew by.
By then, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair hung loose, and sharp pains pulsed between his brows. It felt as if clusters of flowers had attached themselves to his mind, staining everything he saw a vivid crimson.
That red multiplied—1 turned to 4, 4 to 16, 16 to 256—until his head was crammed with the same blood-red images, crowding out every other thought.
Such was the eternal demon bloom’s nature. To establish a spiritual link with it, he had to fully accept its essence. Luckily, Li Yuan had maxed out Wood Demon Subjugation, and the eternal demon bloom happened to be in a severely weakened state; otherwise, not even he could have succeeded in taming it.
At last, his efforts paid off.
“It’s done...it’s done!”
Though Li Yuan had mastered countless skills in his lifetime, the burst of joy he felt at that moment was almost overwhelming.
Still, he had no intention of revealing his success right away. Deliberately, he spent another half-month within that small building, forcing himself to look utterly haggard before stepping outside.
When Li Yuan emerged, hair in disarray and too exhausted to stand straight, Jing Shuixiang was still waiting for him, gazing at him with worried eyes.

Jing Shuixiang let out a sharp, piercing scream, dropping to her knees by his side.
“Wake up, please, wake up!” Tears streamed down her face. She looked terrified, trembling from head to toe.
