Chapter 95 - Weakness but not weakness
"Wow! Senior Sister Luo is amazing!" Su Tang held up the photo stone, her psychic eyes sparkling as she faithfully recorded the scene of Luo Hongyi inducing the starlight to poison. "Family! The Poison Immortal is teaching me live! Starlight poisoning, annihilation upgrade! Tips up! Crowdfund a bigger poison cauldron for Senior Sister Luo!"
A halo of willpower swirled between her fingertips, attempting to connect with the vast galaxy of light overhead. Miraculously, the pale golden halo, imbued with the willpower of all living beings, resonated faintly the moment it came into contact with the starlight!
It was as if the belief of countless people in the distant starry sky who were paying attention to Guixu Sect and praying for Xie Zhao had formed a wonderful interweaving with the power of these stars!
Su Tang suddenly had an idea and immediately guided this resonance, trying to integrate a faint ray of star power into her psychic eyes!
Deep within the psychic eye, within the pale golden halo, sparkling stars suddenly lit up! His vision instantly became clearer and deeper!
She could even vaguely "see" the trajectory of the starlight's flow! A new ability to communicate with the will of the stars was budding!
The Moon-Eating Rabbit in Bai Xiaolu's arms could no longer contain its excitement. It suddenly leaped out of Bai Xiaolu's arms, its small body transforming into a white shadow in the air as it pounced with incredible precision towards the Dragon Skeleton Star Core that Tie Niu had dropped!
The black hole's mouth opened, not to swallow the star core itself, but to target the extremely fine evil impurities and space ripples that naturally escaped from the surface of the star core due to the flow of energy!
Like a whale devouring everything! Those garbage harmful to ordinary people and useless to the star core were sucked into the Moon Devouring Rabbit's stomach like noodles! The rabbit's snow-white fur faintly revealed a purer luster during the devouring process, and its body seemed to grow slightly larger!
The ruby eyes became more lively and profound, and the devouring power they exuded became more restrained and powerful! The ancient beast further awakened!
After Chu Linyuan finished feeding the medicine, he sat cross-legged again. He didn't look at the grand event of his companions' upgrades outside, but slowly closed his eyes and sank into his body.
Within his dantian, the core of malevolent energy, nurtured by star power and resembling the crater of an extinguished volcano, trembled slightly. The dim, dark-gold dragon pattern on his cheek, as if awakened by starlight, began to radiate a faint yet concentrated golden glow. Behind him, the Immortal-Slaying Spear resonated with a low, yearning melody.
His mind moved slightly.
The dormant core of the evil spirit was completely ignited! A far purer, colder, and more condensed torrent of profound icy evil spirit erupted! This evil spirit was no longer simply frozen; it was infused with the initially refined Immortal-Slaying Spear Intent, carrying a sharp edge that could penetrate everything and annihilate everything!
At the same time, a trace of pure dragon evil that was tempered by star power and originated from the dragon skeleton star core, like a golden thread, was perfectly integrated into it!
Mysterious Ice Evil Qi, Immortal-Slaying Spear Intent, and Pure Dragon Evil—the three flowed through his body, fused, and sublimated! Wherever it passed, previously damaged meridians were violently widened and reinforced by this new force, like a river channel recast with ice and metal!
Inside the Dantian, the evil core spun and collapsed crazily, eventually transforming into a brand new power core that was entirely dark gold, with a hint of dark blue at the core and icy killing runes flowing on the surface!
His realm was stable, his combat power returned to its peak, and even reached a higher level! His control over the Immortal-Slaying Spear was greatly improved!
Chu Linyuan suddenly opened his eyes! Deep within his icy pupils, the shadow of a dark golden dragon and a murderous cold star flashed simultaneously! An invisible, heart-pounding, icy pressure instantly spread from him, then was instantly restrained by him! The temperature in the entire vine house plummeted, then quickly returned to normal.
He slowly exhaled a breath of white air mixed with ice crystal fragments, his breath as heavy as the deep sea.
His gaze once again fell upon the sleeping Xie Zhao. This time, it was no longer filled with worry, but rather a quiet guarding and... anticipation. He could clearly sense that the Dragon Evil essence within Xie Zhao, purified by the Star Vein Returning Technique, was resonating faintly with his own newly born core of power, like a breath.
"Hmm..." An extremely light moan, filled with sleepiness, escaped from Xie Zhao's lips.
Chu Linyuan's body tensed up almost imperceptibly for a moment.
Xie Zhao's long eyelashes fluttered a few times, like butterfly wings, extremely slowly, as if carrying a heavy burden. Then, those peach blossom eyes that had been tightly closed for several days finally opened a crack with difficulty.
At first, his eyes were hazy and unfocused, like dusty glass. He rolled his eyes around aimlessly, his sight struggling to focus.
The first thing that catches your eye is the soft starlight flowing through the rattan roof.
Then, there was the silhouette of the branches and leaves of the ancient star-lit tree by the window, emitting a faint glow.
Finally... his gaze slowly moved and finally landed on the figure sitting cross-legged beside the couch, silent as an ice sculpture.
Chu Linyuan was watching him quietly. Deep within his cold eyes, beneath that silent sea of ice, there seemed to be a subtle ripple.
Xie Zhao's pupils seemed to focus for a moment, recognizing the person before him. His lips, still pale, moved very faintly a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but only a hoarse sound came out.
He blinked extremely slowly, as if to confirm that this was not a dream. Then, with great difficulty, the corners of his pale, even chapped mouth moved upwards little by little.
Finally, a voice as weak as a gossamer in the wind, yet carrying his usual, signature tone of three parts teasing and seven parts asking for a beating, rang out clearly in the quiet Fujiya:
"Master... Senior Brother..."
"I...I've been sleeping here...for so long..."
"You...were you...secretly...looking at me...and were you stunned?"
