Qin Nan bent over, carrying the stone statue on his back, and trudged back. The light shield could block the lightning strikes, but Qin Nan didn't know how long it could last. If the light shield broke, he wouldn't be able to protect his mother's stone statue, so he tried his best to avoid the lightning strikes.
Unlike when he came, he could no longer sleep or wake up at will, nor could he move forward in a daze. At this moment, he was carrying people who were as precious as his own life. He could not take risks, and he could not make any mistakes.
He dared not imagine what would happen if, what if his mother's stone statue were struck by lightning and shattered before his eyes...
No! Absolutely not!
With red eyes, Qin Nan gritted her teeth and carried the stone statue on her back, trying her best to use the lightning beads to withstand the unavoidable lightning strikes.
In addition, there were seeds held in her arms, and beads with the power of the Azure Dragon on her wrist nourished the seeds. Even when they were moved into flowerpots, they were not affected and did not wither.
Unable to rest or fall asleep at any time, Qin Nan used the power of the jade pendant to support herself and prevent herself from collapsing.
We walked through the darkness, passed through the thunder zone, and crossed the giant rocks engulfed in heavenly fire.
Qin Nan gave the seeds plenty of water, maintaining their vibrant life.
In Qin Nan's memory, this seed had not sprouted and should have been dormant, but now it had sprouted, probably by absorbing her mother's power.
Moreover, this seed is also the key to rebuilding the underworld, and he must protect it well.
However, no matter how hard Qin Nan tried, his body was still human after all, and even with the power of the jade pendant supporting him, his body had already begun to break down.
I wonder if this body, after leaving, will be able to hold on until the opportunity comes?
Qin Nan shook off the distracting thoughts in her mind. There was no point in thinking about it anymore; she still needed to leave this place first.
Because of the weight, Qin Nan's speed slowed down, and the time it took him to pass through the Heavenly Fire Zone was longer. Fortunately, there was just enough water for him to leave.
As we left the scorching heat, the temperature gradually dropped, becoming quite low, and the wind and rain began to rise again.
Despite the wear and tear from the fierce wind and rain, Qin Nan dared not stop or close his eyes. He took heavy steps, and the sweat did not soak through his clothes but simply flowed down his body.
Amidst the raging storm and the numb march forward, Qin Nan was like a small boat on the vast ocean, tiny and fragile, as if she would be swallowed by the waves at any moment and swept into the desolate and endless depths of the sea.
"Thump—"
Qin Nan accidentally fell. He didn't care about himself, but reached out to protect the flowerpot and support the stone statue to prevent it from being bumped.
He was panting heavily, his face was bloodless, and he was in a daze. He gritted his teeth and got up, his veins bulging, and stood up steadily again, his eyes looking unfocused at the blurry road ahead.
"Rumble—whoosh—"
Suddenly, accompanied by a clap of thunder, the sound of wind came from afar, and the wind around us suddenly became stronger.
Qin Nan raised his hand and slapped himself to wake himself up. He wiped the raindrops away and stared at the tornado that had already taken shape in front of him with a grim expression.
A black tornado swept up rain and lightning, covering the sky and raging wildly.
Qin Nan's heart was pounding. There was no shelter here, and he didn't know if he could withstand the passage of the tornado.
He decisively untied the cloth, took off his outer garment and put it on the stone statue, and also covered it with a helmet.
The four beads in my hand were buried in the flowerpot to protect the seeds.
He had no way out but to move forward, and he pinned his hopes on the light shield of Danzhu to hold out.
Having done everything he could, Qin Nan once again carried the stone statue on his back and, holding the flowerpot, walked towards the oncoming black tornado.
The air pressure dropped and the wind grew stronger. Qin Nan felt a little light. He struggled to form hand seals while holding the flowerpot, and his body suddenly felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
The deafening thunder roared right next to his ears, the wind was like a knife cutting through him, and he could hardly breathe. Qin Nan felt as if his head and body were being torn apart by a thousand knives, and he was in excruciating pain.
The protective barrier around the pearl was extremely thin. Just moments after the tornado passed, "bang—" the barrier shattered, and the pearl also broke and disappeared.
With the outer garment and helmet on, the stone statue was unharmed, but Qin Nan collapsed to his knees in agony, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
In addition, his nose, eyes and ears were bleeding profusely.
The scene before him began to blur and darken. Not wanting to pass out, he raised his hand and punched himself. The pain brought him back to his senses, though his head was still spinning, but he was not about to faint.
At that moment, a white light suddenly shone on his chest. He looked down in confusion, pulled open his collar, and found a silver-patterned array on his collarbone and chest, which was operating to repair his body.
Qin Nan raised her hand to touch it, feeling the familiar scent.
It's Bai Hao.
He managed a weak smile, but still managed to manage a smile.
Because of the formation, his blood stopped flowing and his spirit recovered somewhat, but he really couldn't hear anything anymore—he couldn't hear the wind or the rain.
My nose has lost its sense of smell, and my eyes are also damaged, making my vision somewhat blurry, but thankfully, I'm not completely blind.
Qin Nan dragged his broken body to his feet again, carrying the statue on his back and holding a flowerpot, and marched forward against the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
The power of the array on his body lasted for a while before finally stopping. Although there was still power left, it was like a safety net; unless Qin Nan encountered a life-threatening situation, it would not be activated again.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Nan, hunched over, followed the guidance of the branches of the Migu tree and finally saw a glimmer of light again.
A faint light belonging to the realm of mountains and seas.
Even if you see it, the road ahead is still so long.
Qin Nan's body swayed precariously, but he stood firm and finally reached the gap he had come from. Qin Nan took a step out, his mind relaxed, and darkness enveloped his vision as he fell straight forward.
Bai Hao, who had been waiting outside, sensed Qin Nan's presence and rushed forward, only to catch Qin Nan as she collapsed.
Bai Hao caught the flowerpot with one hand and supported Qin Nan with the other, turning his head to avoid the falling stone statue.
After stabilizing the situation, Bai Hao gently put down the flowerpot, his fingertips like knives cutting through the tangled cloth, and placed the stone statue steadily to the side. He then pulled Qin Nan into his arms to examine her.
The power he had placed on Qin Nan was almost completely exhausted, and even so, Qin Nan was still pale and in very poor condition.
Bai Hao raised his hand to channel divine power into Qin Nan, hoping to repair and alleviate his injuries, but he found that the divine power was rejected and he was unable to heal Qin Nan.
"The human body cannot withstand too much of your divine power."
A lazy, cold male voice suddenly came from behind, and Bai Hao turned around with Qin Nan in his arms.
A tall and imposing man dressed in a dark blue brocade robe walked slowly towards them. His long, dark red hair was tied up casually, and it was slightly disheveled as he came with the wind.
A pair of eyes were covered by a black silk ribbon with gold trim, a black ribbon supported her high nose bridge, and her lips were slightly upturned with a faint smile.
Bai Hao: "Zhu Jiuyin".
Zhu Jiuyin: "Long time no see, Bai Ze."
Bai Hao: "I've never seen you before... but I have seen you before?"
Zhu Jiuyin did not answer, but instead walked over to the two of them.
