Chapter 19-Awakening
Luo Hongyi handed the bowl of soup to Chu Linyuan: "Let her drink it up! Don't leave a drop!"
Chu Linyuan took the bowl without hesitation. The soup felt heavy in his hand, its energy frightening him. He carefully lifted Su Tang up, placing the rim of the bowl against her pale lips.
"I'll do it!" Xie Zhao struggled to get up, but was stopped by Chu Linyuan's cold eyes.
"Sit down." Chu Linyuan's voice left no room for doubt. He held the soup bowl steadily in one hand and carefully opened Su Tang's jaw with the other.
Just as his fingers were about to touch Su Tang's lips, Xie Zhao's hand subconsciously reached out, as if he wanted to help support Su Tang's head.
Chu Linyuan carefully and slowly poured the soup in the bowl, which was as thick as star marrow, into Su Tang's mouth.
The moment the soup enters your throat!
"Ugh...!" Su Tang, still unconscious, suddenly let out a painful groan! Her small body violently convulsed! A visible, dark, blood-red light erupted from the dagger on her shoulder blade, frantically resisting! It was the Soul-Slaying Dagger's annihilating power making its final counterattack!
But immediately afterwards, the "Wanlong Soup" that was poured in took effect!
Countless stars seemed to explode within Su Tang's body! The dark golden essence of the dragon's origin transformed into a mighty torrent of life, carrying the profound will of the earth, instantly breaking through the defenses of the extinction force!
Silver starlight merged into her blood, nourishing her parched meridians! Chaotic star mist enveloped her soul, on the verge of collapse! Furthermore, a vast and ancient sword intent, like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, forcibly suppressed and sorted out the raging energy within her body!
The Soul-Destroying Dagger that was stuck in Su Tang's shoulder blade let out a shrill wail as if it had met its nemesis!
The extinction force attached to the dagger was forcibly forced out and purified by the Dragon Marrow Starlight! The hard dagger turned gray and decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, with a "crack", it broke into pieces and turned into black powder that fell to the ground!
"Puff!" Su Tang suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark blood that exuded a deadly aura!
Then, a surge of vitality, like a thawed river in early spring, instantly erupted from her tiny body! Her pale face regained its rosy color at a visible speed, and her weak breath became steady and long! It was even more condensed and powerful than before the injury!
A powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated uncontrollably from her body! Fifth level of Qi Refining… Sixth level… Seventh level! She had actually broken through three realms in a row! Her psychic eyes, closed in deep sleep, flashed through the depths of her pupils, a dark golden dragon shadow and a dazzling stream of stars!
"It's done!" Luo Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief outside the door.
"Junior Sister!" Xie Zhao's tense heartstrings finally relaxed. The huge ecstasy and fear made him almost collapse. His body softened and he subconsciously leaned against the stone wall next to him, but was firmly supported by a cold and strong arm.
Chu Linyuan supported Xie Zhao's shaky body, while his other hand still held the empty soup bowl steadily.
He glanced at Su Tang, whose breathing was steady and whose face was rosy, and then at Xie Zhao, who was leaning in his arms, his face pale but with a smile of having survived a disaster. In the depths of his cold eyes, extremely complicated emotions surged, and finally turned into an almost inaudible sigh.
"Drink soup." He helped Xie Zhao sit up straight, turned around and walked out of the stone chamber. After a moment, he brought back a full bowl of the same soup and stuffed it into Xie Zhao's hand without any question.
Xie Zhao held the heavy yet warm bowl of soup, looked at Chu Linyuan's still cold but tired face, then looked at Su Tang who was safe and sound on the bed, and his eyes became hot again.
He lowered his head and gulped down the soup that contained tremendous energy and deep thoughts.
The soup entered his stomach, like swallowing a warm nebula! Violent energy exploded instantly! But this time, it was no longer a painful shock.
The essence of the dragon vein's origin quickly repaired the damage to his meridians and the hidden injuries to his soul caused by forcibly activating the blood talisman!
The essence merged into his golden sea of runes, and countless cracked runes greedily absorbed the energy, becoming more solid and brilliant!
The dark golden evil pattern flowed on the blood talisman mark. Instead of rejecting the energy, it acted like a bridge, guiding this gentle force to temper the starry sea.
Xie Zhao's body was ablaze with golden light! His aura was rising steadily! The bottleneck of the early Nascent Soul stage was shattered! He stepped into the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop!
The golden sea of runes in his body seemed to be injected with new vitality. It was vast and boundless, with countless new runes with star patterns appearing and disappearing in it, emitting a powerful pressure!
"Junior Sister Luo, your strength is still as strong as ever. I really admire you!" Xie Zhao said to Luo Hongyi when he felt the endless power being broken through by his hidden cultivation.
"Okay, stop being sad. Junior Sister is fine now. I say, Senior Brother, there's still plenty of soup. Look at Tie Niu drinking it. You should go have a bowl too."
"Well, thank you..."
Outside the cave, the same scene was happening.
Tie Niu picked up the bowl and drank the liquid in his hand! The tremendous energy poured into his wild body! In an instant, a cluster of thicker horns grew out.
His muscles clung to a knot, and it felt as if stars were flowing beneath his skin. His strength surged! As he stomped his feet, the ground resonated dully, and his defense and strength soared!
Tie Niu touched the horns on his head and asked, "What's growing on my head?"
But after thinking about his physical condition, he didn't say anything.
Bai Xiaolu sipped her soup. The enormous ferocious beast within her, enveloped in golden light, roared silently toward the heavens, becoming even more solid, with tiny starlight mingling with the golden light.
The sleeping Moon-Eating Rabbit was also awakened, its ruby eyes shone brightly, and the void devoured in its body seemed to expand its boundaries, and its aura became deeper and more terrifying!
The entire Guixu Sect was enveloped in a dense, tangible starlight and a vast, vibrant vitality! Surviving the catastrophe, broken and then rebuilt! Under the brutal baptism of the Immortal Alliance and the subsequent blessings, every member was reborn like a Nirvana, their strength undergoing a drastic transformation!
When the last ray of starlight merged into her body, Su Tang's long eyelashes trembled a few times and she slowly opened her eyes.
Those psychic eyes were no longer as clear and bright as before, but now seemed like a vortex containing an entire galaxy! A dark golden dragon shadow swam deep within her pupils, and countless tiny starlight points appeared and disappeared within them! Wherever her gaze reached, the "truth" of the world appeared before her eyes with unprecedented clarity and vastness!
She saw the surging star power within Tie Niu's body, the chaotic poison at the core of Luo Hongyi's poisonous fog, the glittering shadow of a giant beast within Bai Xiaolu's body, the newly formed star runes within Xie Zhao's sea of talismans, and even a glimmer of tenacious light deep within the icy murderous aura within Chu Linyuan's body...
Her gaze drifted towards the blood-red vortex still swirling above the God Burial Abyss. Her psychic eyes pierced through the layers of sinister clouds, seemingly glimpsing a vast expanse beyond the vortex...
Blurry images flickered in the psychic vision:
A huge white jade square suspended above the sky, surrounded by rays of light and fairy air!
Countless monks dressed in various gorgeous costumes and with powerful aura gathered together!
Amidst deafening cheers, gorgeous magic fireworks exploded in the sky!
A huge flag engraved with four gilded ancient seal characters "Xianmen Competition" was fluttering in the wind!
The screen flashed, and faces flashed by, some arrogant, some cold, some with greedy scrutiny...
Finally, it stopped at a flag fluttering in the wind—the flag had a dark black background, and a dark gold chain dragon head emblem was embroidered on the edge!
Beneath the banner, a group of cold-breathing monks, dressed in black robes trimmed with silver, stood solemnly like javelins. The leader wore a familiar, icy mask etched with a chain-dragon head. The gaze beneath the mask pierced the void like a venomous snake, seemingly meeting Su Tang's psychic eyes across a vast distance.
"Next time, you won't be so lucky."
"Ah!" Su Tang suddenly covered her eyes and let out a short cry of surprise! The cold, malicious and greedy gaze and the words he said made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave!
"Junior Sister! What's wrong?" Xie Zhao immediately supported her nervously.
Chu Linyuan's cold eyes instantly locked onto Su Tang.
Su Tang put down her hand, and the strange vision of the galaxy in her psychic eyes slowly subsided. A trace of shock and fear was on her face. She pointed at the blood-red sky outside the door, and her voice trembled:
"I... I saw... the Immortal Sect Competition... and... people wearing dragon-head masks... they were looking at us!"
There was an instant of dead silence in the stone chamber.
Immortal Sect Competition...Chained Dragon Head...
The shadow of the Immortal Alliance has never been far away.
Chu Linyuan gripped the Frost Silence Sword tightly, and the blade emitted a low humming sound. Xie Zhao's eyes flashed with cold light, and new runes flowed in the sea of runes, cold and sharp.
The storm has subsided and the sword is sheathed.
But Guixu Sect’s journey to kill immortals has just begun.
