Chapter 665: 0413 Subduing the Mysterious Snake (Seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)
In a perilous spot on the Third Layer, there is a hidden lair.
Wang Xian leaned against a corner, unconscious.
The tiger sculpture stood at the entrance of the lair, confronting the Black Water Profound Snake.
The tiger and snake fought for a long time, with no clear winner, the sounds of fierce battle echoing through the valley.
Swish! A streak of light descended from the sky, instantly piercing through the tail of the Black Water Profound Snake, blood splattering, scales shattering.
Lu Chenzhou approached on a cloud, looking coldly at the Black Water Profound Snake.
The Boundary Tiger’s qi po formed into shape, coupled with powerful dominance, pressing down on the head of the Black Water Profound Snake.
Although mutant beasts cannot speak, they are intelligent.
Faced with a threat of death, it lowered its snake head, horn pointing downward, indicating submission.
According to Lu Chenzhou’s knowledge, the Po Suo Mental Master had mastered some special secret techniques that could imprint on a mutant beast’s soul, signing a master-servant contract.
This would be more secure and safe, avoiding the risk of betrayal.
He couldn’t do it.
He could only use a clumsy method, forcefully subdue it, and learn the Po Suo Secret Method later.
Of course, with his current strength, even if the Black Water Profound Snake betrayed him, he could kill it with a single palm strike.
Bai Feng said from behind, "If the Black Water Profound Snake can grow to the Heavenly Realm, it could become one of our Wanxiang Dao’s guardian holy beasts. The snake form from the ’Ling Kong Four Symbols Fist’ requires Heavenly Realm snake blood for transformation. In the future, if encountering similar mutant beasts, subduing them is better than killing them, which would be a shame."
Lu Chenzhou agreed.
In fact, he also had the idea of creating a mutant beast zoo in the Fangshan Region.
This way, future disciples of Wanxiang Dao can learn the Elephant Form Fist by mimicking the shapes of mutant beasts, which are far more effective than regular beasts.
Additionally, the cultivation of the ’Invisible Elephant Chapter’ also requires the blood of mutant beasts.
He entered the cave and placed his hand on Wang Xian’s forehead, gently inspecting with telekinesis.
He saw that Wang Xian’s sea of consciousness was in chaos, his spiritual power uncontrollably dissipating.
He frowned and then looked at Bai Feng, asking earnestly, "Senior, my senior brother’s soul origin is damaged, do you have any way to remedy it?"
All these years, his senior brother and sister have been his mentors, teaching and enlightening him, as heavy as a mountain.
No matter what, he must preserve his life, and preferably his cultivation as well.
Bai Feng, after inspecting, had a slight change in expression: "The damage to the soul origin is too severe, reaching deep into the sea of consciousness. Remedying it at least requires Earth Grade soul treasures such as ’Yin Soul Jade’ to nurture it. If there’s Heavenly Grade treasure ’Three Soul Mysterious Water’, it would be even better. I don’t have them here, perhaps we can find them in the council’s treasure vault later. Alas, physical injuries are not a big deal for a grandmaster, many treasures can heal them over time, but soul injuries..."
Bai Feng didn’t continue.
Even for a Heavenly King or even a Heavenly Realm strong being, soul injuries are a problem.
From Bai Feng’s tone, Lu Chenzhou also realized the severity of the issue.
The Yin Soul Jade, he knew, was worth 1 million battle merits.
The Lamp Holder’s shop also sells it, requiring 100 candle fires.
This should be achievable, but it’s uncertain if it can heal his senior brother.
As for the Three Soul Mysterious Water, it is the only soul treasure on the Heavenly Treasure Atlas, and the last time it surfaced was a thousand years ago.
Bai Feng carried Wang Xian outside, gently placed his palm on the ground, as a giant green phoenix po appeared behind him, its voice resonant. "I will first use ’Green Phoenix Holding Branch’ to extract the life force of the flora in this area, to keep Wang Xian alive... As for further treatment, I am helpless."
The green phoenix spread its wings, craned its neck for a long call, then its beak opened wide, and streams of faint green life force surged in from all directions.
Under Lu Chenzhou’s astonished gaze, the grass and trees around Bai Feng withered, spreading continuously, quickly covering an area of tens of miles.
The life force of this part of the world was drained by Bai Feng, turning it into a wasteland.
The roots of the plants lost all life force and would not revive again.
This is the fearsome nature of Green Phoenix Holding Branch.
If used on humans, with Heavenly King cultivation, a city could be destroyed instantly.
Soon, in Bai Feng’s palm, a verdant green branch appeared, rich life force circulating, reminiscent of a spiritual elixir, refreshing and heartwarming.
He channeled his inner strength, using the life force as a medium through True Gang, carefully sending it into Wang Xian’s body.
With the same martial arts, Lu Chenzhou could only use ’Green Phoenix Holding Branch’ to heal his own injuries, restoring his strength.
But Bai Feng could heal others, which is the distinction of power levels.
Bai Feng advised, "This method nurtures Wang Xian’s body with life force, further nurturing his soul, addressing only the symptoms not the root cause. It can ensure Wang Xian’s unhindered life for ten years, and his spiritual power origin won’t dissipate too severely; if not fundamentally healed within ten years, Wang Xian’s cultivation will uncontrollably decline. If not healed within thirty years, his grandmaster-level physical body will deteriorate during prolonged unconsciousness, eventually becoming no different from a vegetative state, and his lifespan might not exceed three Jiazi..."
The soul is the core of a person.
Soul damage leads to withering vitality, affecting everything.
In martial arts, there is no retreat.
Even not to mention thirty years, just ten years of coma would make Wang Xian unable to keep up with the times when he wakes up.
It must be as soon as possible!
Lu Chenzhou asked, "Senior, among the powerful members of our Wanbang Council, is there anyone proficient in healing soul injuries?"
Bai Feng thought for a moment and said, "I understand your meaning. To my knowledge, in Da Xia, it would be the ’Heavenly Doctor’ and ’Dragon Tiger Zhang Heavenly Master’ who have a chance... Among the Po Suo powerhouses, ’Heart’s Mediator·Aishwarya’ and ’Spiritual Eyes·Tara’ might also be capable."
Lu Chenzhou memorized these names.
Once outside, he would visit them one by one.
The evacuation forces are outnumbered and the war shouldn’t last much longer.
When Master has time, he will definitely step in as well.
The Heavenly Treasure "Three Soul Mysterious Water", this level of treasure is incredibly rare.
After all the life force was transferred, a faint green light suddenly appeared around Wang Xian, crystal clear like amber.
Wang Xian was sealed within, looking serene.
Bai Feng said, "I still have some things to do in the lower levels. Just leave when the time comes, don’t worry too much. Given your Master’s status, any means the Wanbang Council can mobilize will do their utmost to save him. I know a little about face reading. Although Wang Xian’s life is full of disasters, once he overcomes them, it will be smooth sailing."
Lu Chenzhou clasped his fists, "Thank you, Senior! I will never forget your life-saving grace."
Bai Feng smiled, "You’re being too serious. Without me, that Ghost King still wouldn’t be your match, but it’s also hard for you to kill him."
Before leaving, Bai Feng remembered something and asked, "What level have you reached with the ’Phoenix Call to the Nine Heavens’?"
Lu Chenzhou replied, "On the verge of Small Success."
Bai Feng praised, "To cultivate Phoenix Form alongside and still make such progress is impressive. Today I will impart to you the remaining cultivation method. If you ascend to the Heavenly King, please take care of my little junior sister... Oh, by the way, my junior sister is the acting principal of your Su City’s branch, Gongsun Ying."
After leaving the Lu Ming underground palace this time, Bai Feng will also enter a long seclusion, preparing for the matters of breaking through to the Sky Breaking Realm.
Breakthrough Seven could take a few years, a dozen years, or even decades, it’s all possible.
Lu Chenzhou was embarrassed, smiling, "With Senior Gongsun’s talent, by the time I’m a Heavenly King, she will surely be one too."
Bai Feng shook his head slightly, "Difficult, I know my junior sister well; breaking through to Sixth is not easy."
Seeing the brotherly bond between Lu Chenzhou and Wang Xian, he was deeply moved, perhaps reminded of his own past years.
...
Several days later.
At the entrance of the Lu Ming underground palace.
Two Fighting Masters were scrutinizing a small figure with matted hair and a bloody, mangled body.
This figure also lay on the ground, unconscious.
"Who is this?"
"How did they suffer such severe injuries?"
Being injured in the underground palace is normal.
But the extent seen here is rare, hard to imagine the fierce battle they went through.
These two Fighting Masters, seeing no one around, were pondering whether to take the Divine Armor and the long knife off this figure’s body.
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended, a Tiger’s Roar shook the heavens.
At the entrance of the underground palace, a tiger sculpture and a Black Water Profound Snake, two enormous beings, emerged across the sky.
Atop the Black Water Profound Snake’s head stood a burly figure clad in black armor, full of evil qi.
Behind him, the qi po of a giant tiger emerged, stirring a heavenly phenomenon, as winds, fire, and lightning appeared in the vicinity, like a heavenly god descending.
A deep voice came, "Scram!"
The faces of the two Fighting Masters hardened. They initially wanted to argue something but ultimately held back.
Being Grandmasters themselves, they had no comparison to make with this first genius of Da Xia.
Lu Chenzhou picked up the senior sister lying on the ground, checked her injuries with telekinesis, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
"One penetrating wound, then there are 23 flesh wounds, too much blood loss..."
Such injuries are not a big issue for a Grandmaster.
He took out a drop of "Earth Immortal Dew" and administered it to his senior sister.
This was discovered in Qin Xiao’s Storage Bag, with a total of 3 drops, and it’s unknown where this guy got it from.
Before this, he had already administered a drop to senior brother, to relieve the soul injury,
Qin Xiao and Li Minghuang’s Storage Bags contained many good items, including some primordial ore, all of which belongs to him now.
As for the Red Shang Ghost King, there was nothing gained, just a poor wretch.
The effect of Earth Immortal Dew was immensely strong. Before long, Lin Xia had initially healed her injuries, and upon waking, looked at Lu Chenzhou, groggy, and asked:
"Junior brother?"
"It’s me."
Lin Xia breathed a long sigh of relief, saying nothing, just hugged Lu Chenzhou.
"That’s great, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to face Master. I should have never brought you to this underground palace."
"Senior sister, don’t blame yourself, life cannot be without accidents. What happened to you?"
"I don’t know either; I was ambushed by Li Minghuang and then exiled into the void by the Ghost King with an evil skill, then I lost consciousness."
Lu Chenzhou was most concerned that, like Lufang, senior sister would be exiled into the Void Realm, from which one can’t return.
Now it seems the senior sister had merely been exiled somewhere in the underground palace, and when the time ran out, she was automatically teleported out.
After learning about what happened from Lu Chenzhou, Lin Xia looked at Wang Xian. As the eldest sister, she felt a bit guilty inside.
A moment later, she mounted the tiger sculpture and said, "Let’s go junior brother, there must be a way."
