Xie Zhou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and continued to release his power to create a sealing array. Fortunately, the suppression talismans around the ancient demonic sword were still there, and Xie Zhou could use them to collect the scattered gaps in the array. However, he could clearly feel that the power was not as strong as before.
However, while enduring the torment of her spiritual sea, Xie Zhou was also sealing the ancient demonic sword. She felt somewhat powerless, and her physical strength seemed to be surging with waves of blood energy. Her body seemed unable to withstand it, and Xie Zhou felt her vision gradually becoming ethereal.
Her consciousness gradually faded, and the power she had painstakingly gathered in her hands slowly loosened. Seeing this, the system quickly activated the power of all living beings to protect Xie Zhou's damaged body.
The system immediately woke up Xie Zhou.
"Host, wake up! You can't sleep now, you can't let your guard down. We need to seal the ancient demonic sword! Seal it! Don't forget your mission, host! Don't sleep! That ancient demon is inside your consciousness; you must defeat him!..."
Whether it was her own powerful consciousness or the system's words, Xie Zhou opened her eyes again. Her previously confused pupils gradually cleared. She couldn't stand up at all. The wind around her stung her face, and the barren grass seemed to be affected as well, constantly slapping against Xie Zhou's body.
Her face was extremely pale, but she still went forward to examine the ancient demonic sword. She approached the ancient demonic sword, which was filled with resentment, with great slowness. Xie Zhou had never been so disheveled. She grabbed the hilt of the ancient demonic sword and used the power of the sword to get up, but a special aura rushed towards her and gradually eroded her.
Xie Zhou shook his head, trying to get rid of these messy and evil thoughts, but two more streams of black energy appeared on the sword. They quickly entangled Xie Zhou's body and grabbed one of his hands, causing Xie Zhou to struggle immediately.
"Get out! Get out!"
She pulled the black energy out of her arm and then moved away from the ancient demonic sword, but blood seeped from her hand without her realizing it.
Xie Zhou raised his hand to look at it, then shouted.
"Aaaaaah...!"
She unleashed a powerful force, silently chanting incantations to continuously strengthen the sealing formation.
Finally, the array landed on the ancient demonic sword, and the seal was finally complete.
Xie Zhou collapsed to the ground, exhausted, panting heavily. It seemed she had just gone through a fierce battle, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.
The ancient demonic sword began to be devoured by the formation, and the surrounding resentment was as if its hands and feet were bound by something, clamoring to break free of the formation, but it had no way to escape those layers of formation.
In no time, the ancient demonic sword disappeared.
Meanwhile, the consciousness of the ancient demonic sword within Xie Zhou's spiritual sea was still fighting against the chaotic divine lightning.
Xie Zhou originally thought that his mind might be clearer now, but he did not expect that the consciousness of the ancient demonic sword would become more and more rampant, and the shock he received was even stronger than before. He did not expect that even though the physical body of the ancient demonic sword had disappeared, its meaning was still preserved in his spiritual sea.
She endured the pain, trying to force this consciousness that didn't belong to her out of her body. However, the Chaos Divine Lightning was already locked in a fierce battle with this consciousness within her spiritual sea. Even though her physical body disappeared, the consciousness remained unaffected. Xie Zhou felt a sense of disbelief and then sat cross-legged to strengthen his mental power. His spiritual world couldn't afford to collapse under such an impact!
The ancient demonic sword's consciousness was significantly damaged by the onslaught of the chaotic divine lightning, but it still remained.
After Xie Zhou sealed the original body of the ancient demonic sword, she began to repair her spiritual sea.
"Whoosh..."
She stretched out her arms and punched, calming her mind and beginning to gather her strength to repair her spiritual sea of consciousness, while also strengthening her control over her mental power.
Meanwhile, the Chaos Divine Thunder, battling the consciousness of the ancient demonic sword within its spiritual sea, sensed its master's movement and allocated a portion of itself to protect Xie Zhou.
Sensing a force protecting his mental sea, Xie Zhou hurriedly repaired it and strengthened his control. After a period of repair, Xie Zhou discovered that the core of his mental damage still could not be fully repaired.
Seeing that a hole had appeared in the middle, she kept filling it in, but to no avail. When she realized that it could not be repaired, Xie Zhou stopped.
At this moment, the system told Xie Zhou, "Host, we have sensed that the core part is in a state of turmoil that cannot be repaired for a long time because it was damaged by the original power of the ancient demon sword. Therefore, no matter how much power we pour in, it is useless. Only by finding the legendary Chaos Sacred Fruit can we possibly restore our spiritual sea of consciousness."
With his spiritual sea of consciousness significantly repaired and aided by the Chaos Divine Lightning, Xie Zhou successfully trapped that consciousness within a certain space. He felt the pain was no longer as intense as before. It seemed he still needed to ask Qinglong about the Chaos Sacred Fruit.
Xie Zhou immediately exited the Ancient Wind and Clouds, found the Azure Dragon on the outer perimeter, and saw the Azure Dragon resting on the rock for a moment. Xie Zhou patted the Azure Dragon's shoulder with his palm.
"Smack!"
"Azure Dragon, wake up!..."
Qinglong was caught off guard and woke up in fright. He quickly raised his hand to throw a punch, but Xie Zhou dodged it in no time.
"I'm sorry, Master, I didn't see you just now. Are you alright...?"
"Azure Dragon, do you know where the Chaos Sacred Fruit is?"
Qinglong was somewhat surprised to hear this. Why was Xie Zhou suddenly asking about this? Did she have some kind of health problem and need the Chaos Sacred Fruit to cure her?
He quickly circled around Xie Zhou, trying to see what kind of injury she had suffered.
Xie Zhou quickly explained, "Alright, stop staring at me like I'm a monkey. The reason I asked you about the Chaos Sacred Fruit is because the consciousness of that ancient demonic sword is currently inside my spiritual sea. Part of my spiritual sea has been destroyed by it, and its core needs the Chaos Sacred Fruit to help me repair it!"
Upon hearing this, Qinglong immediately told Xie Zhou, "Master, are you alright? We should hurry and find that fruit. There happens to be a Chaos Sacred Fruit Tree at the place where the ancient demon's heart is sealed. It must have fruit that can repair the mental flaws."
“However, going there now is definitely not the solution. I will teleport your consciousness over there, and then you will be able to see the Chaos Tree…”
Without further ado, the Azure Dragon leaped and transformed into several remnant souls, which then entered Xie Zhou's spiritual sea of consciousness, where it resided.
The Azure Dragon quickly took human form within Xie Zhou's mental world. It was momentarily stunned when it saw the consciousness of the ancient demonic sword, but quickly recovered.
Azure Dragon quickly deployed a teleportation array, and Xie Zhou stepped into it, soon being teleported out of the ancient battlefield of gods and demons.
