As the holy spring poured forth, the energy within the pillar of light, though seemingly fierce, was actually injected into Zhang Rong and Chi Chen's bodies with extreme gentleness.
In the darkness, Chi Chen's consciousness gradually awakened.
"This is……"
At this moment, Chi Chen felt as if he were in a warm hot spring. The energy of the holy spring was constantly helping Chi Chen restore his body, which was like a skeleton. His originally withered skin gradually became plump again.
However, a portion of the energy was drawn to the main hall within Chi Chen's body and slowly poured into the statue of Nuwa.
"There is hope!"
Hu Yuan looked solemnly into the sacred spring, a glint of light appearing in his eyes.
Beside the high platform, although the pouring holy spring made it difficult for the crowd to clearly see the condition of Chi Chen and Zhang Rong, they could still barely sense that their life force was gradually recovering.
Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, and Hu Miaomiao also looked nervously into the Holy Spring, their palms already covered in sweat.
Xiao Rulai went to great lengths to secure this opportunity for the Holy Spring to pour out. If they still couldn't save Zhang Rong and Chi Chen, then there was truly nothing they could do.
"Uh-huh!"
Chi Chen let out a soft groan, and at the same time, within the main hall inside his body, Chi Chen's somewhat illusory soul gradually condensed.
"Kid, you're finally awake!"
The monkey's somewhat relieved voice rang out at the same time that Chi Chen's soul appeared.
"Monkey King, you're still awake?!"
Upon hearing the sound, Chi Chen paused for a moment, then looked with some delight in the direction of the monkey statue. He had expected to see a lively monkey, but instead, he found himself facing a statue instead.
"Hehe, kid, if you want me, Old Sun, to permanently break the shackles of this statue, with your current strength, you're still a long way off. Last time, I only managed to briefly reveal my true form by taking advantage of the power of the Fengdu Emperor!"
The monkey knew what Chi Chen was thinking and gave him a brief explanation.
"Uh-huh~"
Just as Chi Chen was about to chat with the monkey for a bit, another voice rang out in the hall, which immediately made Chi Chen's soul tremble, and he looked at the statue of Nuwa with some excitement.
"Goddess Nuwa, you've awakened too?!"
Chi Chen asked excitedly, "This is the first time that two gods have awakened in the main hall at the same time."
"My child, didn't I tell you to call me Your Majesty? Hehe!"
Nuwa stretched as if she had just had a good nap, and replied to Chi Chen in a slightly languid tone.
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen was stunned for several seconds. Sure enough, this Goddess Nuwa was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
"Hehe, the little monkey is awake too?!"
Nuwa's voice rang out, and she teased the monkey.
"Chirp! You're the little monkey, your whole family are little monkeys!"
Upon hearing this, the monkey became somewhat annoyed and let out a loud screech.
"Hehehehe!"
Seeing this, Nuwa seemed very pleased with the monkey's reaction and let out another cheerful laugh.
Chi Chen's soul stood in the main hall, looking left and right, unsure of what to say.
Anyway, these two experts seem to be a little different from what he imagined.
Well, of the three gods that have appeared so far, it seems that the Emperor of Fengdu is more in line with Chi Chen's imagination of these gods.
"Congratulations on acquiring the Divine Restriction: Imprisonment is possible, but not confinement. This Divine Restriction allows the user to open the Netherworld Eye, imprisoning wandering souls within its Soul Prison. The user can choose to absorb these souls, temporarily gaining their former strength and power, or infuse them into the statue of the Fengdu Emperor, helping him awaken and even break free from the statue's shackles! (Note: This ability has no side effects. In fact, after absorbing souls of a higher power than oneself, the user's soul strength will gradually increase. Please use it with confidence! The Fengdu Emperor guarantees its top-notch quality!)"
"Imprisonable but not imprisonable? Top-notch quality?"
Chi Chen was stunned for more than ten seconds as he sensed the information that suddenly appeared in his mind. He looked at the statue of the Fengdu Emperor with a strange expression.
This great deity doesn't seem so serious, huh?
However, the divine ability of being able to imprison but not be imprisoned made Chi Chen lick his lips with some excitement.
Absorbing souls and gaining their former realm is essentially another form of invoking deities, isn't it?
If I can absorb a soul body at the Moon Realm, wouldn't that mean I'll have a trump card to save my life?
After all, there are very few powerful figures in this world at the Shengyang Realm, and those at the Ruoyue Realm are basically the most powerful beings in this world.
How many more times can such an unusual situation occur?
Although Chi Chen has the trump card of being possessed by a monkey, he is limited by his own cultivation level. Even with the monkey's possession, Chi Chen can only unleash the abilities of the Star Radiance Realm at most. Moreover, every time he uses it, his body is completely drained, and it takes a long time to recover.
But this "prison but not imprisonment" has no side effects. Moreover, Chi Chen keenly discovered a possible bug: if he really faced a life-or-death situation, he could first let the monkey possess him, and after he was exhausted, he could absorb the soul body and get hard again.
This greatly extends the duration of combat!
Thinking of this, Chi Chen couldn't help but smile. After all, who could refuse to have more time?
But what excited Chi Chen the most was the line described in "Can be imprisoned but not confined," which said that the soul could be injected into the body of the Fengdu Emperor to help him wake up again as soon as possible, and even help him break through the divine statue's confinement!
Does that mean that as long as Chi Chen can absorb enough souls, he can maintain his true form after the Fengdu Emperor removes the statue's confinement?
Although Chi Chen lost consciousness when the monkey left his body last time and did not know what happened afterward, now that he is still alive, he no longer needs to think about how strong the monkey that has revealed its true form is!
As the King of the Underworld, if we follow the mythological accounts, the Great Emperor of Fengdu is no weaker than the Monkey King.
With such a powerful figure who can be summoned at any time, even if his strength is limited by him, he is still more powerful than Chi Chen can imagine right now!
However, after the initial excitement, Chi Chen became somewhat dejected. Not to mention getting the Fengdu Emperor to break free from the divine statue's confinement, just to wake him up again, how many souls would be needed?
However, a soul is not so easy to obtain.
It's not so easy for a major battle like the one last time to break out again, and Chi Chen doesn't want to see that kind of battle break out again either. No one would want to experience that kind of scene every time.
Furthermore, high-level soul bodies are not so easy to obtain. With Chi Chen's current abilities, he can at most cut through the mysteries of the Ascension Realm. Although that's not bad, it's still far from his ideal.
"Well, things will work themselves out. Let's take it slow!"
Hearing the two voices inside the hall, Chi Chen felt somewhat helpless but also smiled. Now that the two gods were awake and he had obtained a new divine restriction, it truly lived up to the old saying: those who survive a great calamity are bound to have good fortune in the future!
Chi Chen's soul slowly disappeared from the hall; he couldn't get a word in edgewise as the two big shots bickered.
outside world.
Chi Chen slowly woke up, and the holy white light in front of him stung his eyes as soon as he opened them. It took him a while to recover before he could open his eyes again.
Chi Chen looked at his body, which had now fully recovered, and there was even a faint, special aura surrounding him.
"Where am I? Is this the holy energy I just felt flowing into my body? It seems somewhat similar to Her Majesty the Queen's power, but not exactly the same!"
"team leader!"
Chi Chen suddenly turned his head and saw Zhang Rong lying next to him.
At this moment, Zhang Rong's body has fully recovered, but there is still no sign of him waking up. However, from his slightly trembling eyes, Chi Chen knows that Zhang Rong should wake up soon.
"This energy is truly amazing. It has a remarkable effect on the recovery of both the soul and the body. In some ways, it even surpasses Her Majesty the Queen's divine power!"
Although the holy spring made Chi Chen feel refreshed, he clearly felt that the longer he stayed in this pillar of light, the greater the benefit to him would be.
Chi Chen also knew that it was this energy that had allowed him to recover. Even though his internal injuries had not yet healed, he possessed the power of the Resurrection of All Things, and even Nuwa herself. Although the remaining injuries in his body were not minor, they could be quickly healed later. Therefore, Chi Chen naturally did not stay inside any longer, so as not to divert the energy in the pillar of light and delay the pillar of light's healing of Zhang Rong.
Chi Chen stood up and stepped out of the sacred spring.
"Chi...Chi Chen...you're awake?!"
Outside the sacred spring, Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, and Hu Miaomiao were stunned when they saw Chi Chen walk out. They stared in disbelief at Chi Chen, who had recovered completely.
That sacred spring truly lived up to its reputation; even Xiao Rulai had to spend a long time trying to obtain it.
Where is this?
Chi Chen smiled when he saw the three of them, but looking at the completely unfamiliar environment in front of him, he immediately felt something was wrong, because above his head, there were countless stars and a scarlet full moon!
