It was truly a stroke of luck that I survived this ordeal.
Ye Xiruo stopped complaining about the other hidden dangers in this body. After all, she was still alive, which was already a great fortune.
"How can I repair my soul? You know we don't have much time left." Neither the deadly threat from the Ice Spirit Continent nor the threat from the Divine Master family allowed her to waste any more time.
"The yellow divine spring water, when used in conjunction with the Cleansing Dew, can shorten your recovery time."
Ye Xiruo tilted her head: "Recently, the effects of the Cleansing Dew seem to be waning."
"This has the same effect as taking pills. Your soul's need for the Cleansing Dew is constantly decreasing, and the amount of components it can absorb is also constantly decreasing."
"The Cleansing Dew is already an extremely rare holy product for healing the soul. You mean the Cleansing Dew is not enough?"
"That's right, it's only diminishing now; soon it will be completely ineffective."
"Don't you have any better ideas?"
"I am bound to this space by life and death. Since the space has not been upgraded, there is nothing I can do to help you."
"I still want to thank you. I'll figure out the rest myself."
Ye Xiruo's spiritual power had turned silvery-white, like fine mercury, flowing quietly in her sea of consciousness, looking dazzling and radiant.
Ye Xiruo let out a bitter smile. Her spiritual power had changed from a gaseous state to a liquid state, which should have been a happy thing. Unfortunately, she could only use one-third of this vast spiritual power now. No matter how hard she tried and concentrated, she could not mobilize the rest.
The flow of mental energy was no longer as smooth and effortless as before, but rather more difficult.
If his mental strength is already like this, his internal true essence is probably not much better. The three-year timeframe given by the system is probably a conservative estimate.
Ye Xiruo sensed a familiar presence approaching and opened her eyes.
"Brother Xiuqi, you're back."
Are you tired?
"It's alright." Ye Xiruo pounced on Xiu Qiyu with her claws outstretched: "Brother Xiu Qi, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"No need to say that. If I were the one who got injured, you would definitely be more worried."
"Let's go down the mountain in a couple of days." There was nothing she needed in Haoqi Pavilion, nor was there anyone she was waiting for, so it was best to go down the mountain.
"Alright, let's treat this as a training exercise. I'll return to the Heavenly Sword Sect and take on a few missions."
Both of them had made good plans, but unfortunately, their plans were not put to use. Early the next morning, Xiu Qiyu received a message from Master Zhang Hua.
He was told to return to the Heavenly Sword Sect immediately; something terrible had happened.
Jue Chen's expression also turned solemn: "Junior Brother, we may have to go back."
"Senior Brother, what exactly happened that requires the involvement of us new disciples?"
"It must be about the Demon Cave. We'll find out the details when we get back to the sect."
Yesterday, Master Ye Dan had just awakened, and today, Junior Brother has to leave. Whether you call it a cruel twist of fate or an arrangement of destiny, it always catches people off guard.
The demon race is a nightmare for the people of the Azure Continent. Whether they are righteous or evil, the mention of the demon race evokes fear and resentment, a deep-seated hatred mixed with countless lives lost, which cannot be reconciled by any means, only slaughter and bloodshed.
The war between humans and demons lasted for tens of thousands of years. The demons once ruled the world, treating the entire Blue Ocean Continent as their demon realm, and humans, demons, and others all became slaves and puppets of the demons.
That era was known as the Dark Ages, lasting for five hundred years. Countless humans were killed or enslaved.
For five hundred years, the bloody battle between humans and demons continued every day. Finally, a peerless genius emerged from the human race—Jun Tianxia. He fought the Demon Lord with his sword for a month, severely injuring the Demon Lord and killing several demon generals, greatly weakening the demon race. The human and demon races joined forces to fight back, and it took them ten years to drive the demons back to the Demon Realm and seal the passage from the Demon Realm to the human race.
It took another thousand years for Hailan to return to its previous state.
Jun Tianxia was deified in one battle and revered as a figure of faith for humanity. However, after that battle, Jun Tianxia disappeared without a trace.
The battle between demons and humans was far from over. In the time that followed, the demons tried every means to break the seal, hoping to rule the world and regain control of the human race, but they failed.
The seal was guarded by human experts year-round, and it was reinforced every hundred years. It seems that sixty years had passed since the last reinforcement, and the demons actually tore the seal apart.
It concerns the entire Blue Ocean Continent, and the safety of everyone. No wonder, no wonder Master was so anxious.
"Senior brother, let's bid farewell to Master Snow and set off."
Now that they have come to the Azure Continent, their fate is somehow intertwined with that of the Azure Continent. Now that the Azure Continent is in trouble, they cannot sit idly by. Perhaps things are not as serious as they seem.
"Greetings, Divine Master."
"You two must be extra careful on your journey."
"Thank you, Master."
"This is just a small token of my appreciation."
Two bottles of pills suddenly appeared in front of Jue Chen and Xiu Qiyu.
"Thank you, Master."
"My little apprentice, I will take good care of her. If you ever meet her on the battlefield of the demon realm, please protect her."
As his master, he naturally didn't want his little apprentice to suffer any harm and to stay on Lingyun Peak forever, under his protection. However, given his little apprentice's personality, Xue Junhan sighed.
Although Xiu Qiyu disagreed, she had obviously taken this into consideration.
"I'll leave Xiao Yezi's health to the Divine Master and the Holy Master. Once she recovers, she won't necessarily be a weakling in need of protection on the battlefield."
"Until we meet again."
Ye Xiruo had not yet woken up. Xiu Qiyu stayed by Ye Xiruo's bedside for a few minutes before leaving with Jue Chen on their swords.
The entire azure continent, every sect and mortal kingdom, was plunged into a deep gloom. The hatred for the demon race had long been ingrained in their bones and blood, and would not be forgotten for thousands of years.
The boy, who had just begun cultivating Qi, held the wooden sword in his hand and said, "Master, please teach me extraordinary skills so that I may slay all the demons."
The general, already dressed in his battle robes, looked at his newborn child one last time with tears in his eyes: "If I unfortunately die in battle, you must live strong and grow up to kill all the demons for me."
The woodcutter, who had been silent in the sacred mountain for many years, slowly untied the rags from his wood-chopping knife and began to sharpen it, stroke by stroke.
In an ice cave deep in the snow-capped mountains, a human-shaped ice sculpture suddenly shattered, revealing a person whose entire body was as crystal clear as ice and snow. A smile appeared on the person's lips: "The taste of blood."
