Chapter 125 Chapter 125 "That's great."
Compared to Jiu Zhao's nervousness, Zhu Yan seemed very relaxed.
"We've been through so much hardship together, Zhao Niang, I believe in you.
"I also believe that we will have a long and bright future."
As he spoke, he winked at Jiu Zhao with a cheerful expression.
Infected by Zhu Yan's trusting tone, Jiu Zhao also calmed down.
She returned to her cushion and sat in meditation.
After Zhu Yan nodded to indicate that he was ready, he closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and released endless Nirvana Phoenix Fire.
The blazing flames dissipated from the palm of his hand, transforming into a regular circle that enveloped the young man.
The fairy light contained in it also penetrates into the skin through the pores.
With the experience of searching for the source of the disease last time, Jiu Zhao easily found the broken vein near Zhu Yan's heart.
Grayish-black and stagnant, like a tree root that has lost nutrients and completely withered, it presents a bleak scene in Jiuzhao's sea of consciousness.
After confirming it, she turned all the power of the Nirvana Phoenix Fire and attacked the shrunken end.
“!”
After his mind went blank, Zhu Yan thought that he might be able to empathize with the torment that Jiu Zhao had endured when he was sealed in the heart of the tree.
The treatment of repairing the meridians and strengthening the bones is called treatment, but it is actually extremely painful.
The blazing flames repeatedly struck the veins.
Each blow was like a burning sharp cone, chiseling into the soul, bones and blood.
In severe pain, the dry veins were stripped of the flesh and blood that stuck together, and the already wrinkled outer wall had to undergo a burning process before being regenerated.
That place has been necrotic for thousands of years, and only when the full moon comes will it cause chaos, causing him to have palpitations and vomit blood.
But under the burning of the Nirvana Phoenix Fire, Zhu Yan miraculously felt the internal organs in his body constantly dissolving and turning into blood.
This experience was too terrifying. Not only did the body have to endure the torture of pain, but the mind also had the illusion that the soul was about to burn.
Zhu Yan gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress the trembling sound.
Jiu Zhao closed his vision, and the only sense that could sense his condition was his hearing.
The groans, cries of pain, and chattering teeth all reached her ears and caused her worry.
only--
It just hurts so much.
Is he alive or dead?
The pain beyond his ability to bear blinded Zhu Yan's five senses.
He couldn't think, couldn't distract himself, and could only dig his nails deep into his palms, remembering the only rule: don't make any sound and affect Jiu Zhao.
…
Fortunately, I have come this far and have not failed at the last moment.
The pill that Xingyao asked Zhu Yan to take before the start took effect.
With the blessing of the pure water-based magical power from Yingluo, some of the heat that burned everything was offset.
Under the continuous action, the wrinkled outer wall completely melted, and the immortal vein that had been blocked for thousands of years was finally broken open.
Jiu Zhao quickly withdrew the aggressiveness of the Phoenix Fire and injected the softened power into both ends of the fracture.
A red color lingered around the outer wall, and the newly formed blood vessels seemed to extend forward with will until they connected with each other.
The long-dry land is once again nourished by the trickle of water.
The moment they were connected, a tremendous amount of immortal power that had been accumulated in the veins and could not be released for a long time surged out.
It pounced on the Nirvana Phoenix Fire, which had not yet retreated, and enveloped it gently like a lover's outstretched arms.
If Jiuzhao opened his eyes at this moment, he would see the bizarre sight of Zhu Yan's silver hair turning black from the ends of his hair—
The surging vitality returned to the young man's body that had been weak for a long time.
The pale lips regained their color, and the heart was beating hard, announcing to the world the joy of the continuation of life.
Jiu Zhao was also very happy.
After a hundred years of hard work, he experienced several near-death experiences.
It's for this day.
The price she paid was not in vain.
But her happiness did not last long, as her scattered spiritual consciousness suddenly detected something strange in the breath.
...I don’t know how to describe it.
It was as if a glaring ink mark suddenly appeared on the pure white canvas.
In Zhu Yan's pure immortal energy, a hint of turbidity vaguely attracted her attention.
When Jiu Zhao tried to investigate further, it disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace.
Jiu Zhao always felt that she had sensed a similar aura somewhere, but as the treatment was nearing its end, she was not allowed to think too much.
Soon, she convinced herself.
Zhu Yan has been ill for so long, his tendons and veins are blocked, his spiritual energy cannot flow, and it is normal for him to have turbid air in his body.
As long as it is put into operation again, the immortal body will be cleansed and return to flawlessness immediately.
After guiding the power to circulate back and forth and checking that everything is correct, the treatment is officially over.
Jiu Zhao is in good condition.
Without the Phoenix Fire filling him up, Zhu Yan immediately fell forward onto the stone platform, sweat pouring down his entire body, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
Regardless of the dirt, Jiu Zhao rushed over and lifted him up, holding him in his arms: "Yan Lang, how do you feel?!"
He let out two "ho ho" sounds from his throat, raised his sweat-soaked eyelashes, and gave her a weak smile:
"Zhao, Zhao Niang, just look at me and you'll know when my hair turns black again."
It was only after his reminder that Jiu Zhao noticed the most obvious change in his appearance.
"That's great, that's great..."
Hugging Zhu Yan tightly, she kept repeating this sentence with a smile on her face.
Then Zhu Yan, who had regained some strength, raised his hand and gently wiped the corner of his eyes.
"...Zhao Niang, please don't cry for me."
The crystal clear water light condensed on the young man's fingertips, and Jiu Zhao was stunned by the look.
In a flash, she narrowed her eyes again, smiled with tears in her eyes and promised him, "Well, I won't cry anymore!"
Open the stone door and send the immortal message to Xingyao.
But she rushed over.
When she saw Zhu Yan's hair turn from white to black, her eyes were blank for a moment.
"Surprisingly, so magical——"
She muttered a few words quietly and walked over to examine Zhu Yan.
After a moment, Xingyao's expression relaxed. Using unskilled polite language, she bowed and reported to Jiuzhao, "Congratulations, Your Highness. I wish Immortal Yan's illness has been cured. He only needs five days of careful care in the stone chamber, and he will be as healthy and long-lived as an ordinary immortal."
After so many years, five days passed in the blink of an eye.
After spending a few more moments of tenderness with Zhu Yan, Jiu Zhao reluctantly handed him over to Xing Yao and left the Divine Doctor's Office.
…
The biggest problem between them was solved.
Jiu Zhao was really happy.
Everything is moving in the right direction.
Now, the only thing left to consider is the punishment of Yu Ling.
This is true for the gods and the demons as well. These races, born from the laws of heaven and earth and possessing powerful strength, never make promises easily.
But once the promise is made, it involves cause and effect karma.
If Jiu Zhao wants to successfully understand his inner demons when he becomes a god, he must work hard to fulfill his oath.
The previous conversation with Zhu Yan about Yuejian made Jiu Zhao realize that although killing the immortal slave was a crime, if the incident was not big enough and was not brought to light, Yu Ling would at most receive a mild punishment under the protection of the Eastern God King - that would go against Jiu Zhao's original intention.
It's not just about revenge for Wu Zhu.
Yu Ling took away many lives.
It also symbolizes the unjust immortal slave system, which should be completely overthrown.
Like all the offices in Sanqingtian, even for the immortals who volunteered to become servants, it was just a legitimate job.
They have never been inferior to others, nor should they be looked down upon or treated so unfairly.
But as Yingluo said, Yuling and its subsequent situation involved the interests of most of the Sanqingtian nobles.
Due to the large number of people and the complex power structure, a slow approach will not be effective.
Even if she sought to see the Father in private, she could not get the result she wanted.
After careful consideration, Jiu Zhao set his sights on the grand court meeting on the eve of the Liuchun Banquet.
This is the most solemn and grand gathering of the Three Pure Ones.
The Supreme God, the God King, the heads of various departments, noble families, and the chief and deputy immortal officials of the government offices must all participate.
The grand court meeting was held in the main hall of Ziwei Palace, and each meeting meant that important laws and decisions were to be promulgated.
This time, it was to formally announce the conclusion of a peace agreement with Fen Ye Hai.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, evidence of Yu Ling's guilt was presented. Even a man as noble as the Eastern God King would find it difficult to silence the crowd.
What's more, on such an important day, she might be able to put the idea of abolishing the immortal slave system on the agenda.
For safety reasons, Jiu Zhao also hid the truth from Zhu Ying, who was sent by the Father God.
Seven days before the grand court meeting, she ordered people to secretly bring the immortal slaves mentioned in the information provided by Yingluo to Lihentian.
