Chapter 110: Perfect Body

At that moment, Xu Yang fused the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice and Spirit Spring Water around the Sacred Lotus. Using the ice and spring water as a source, he began to sculpt an almost perfect new body for Bai Lianxue.

This almost miraculous, life-giving method, akin to reviving the dead and regenerating bones, progressively unfolded. Bai Lianxue’s perfect bodily contours rapidly took shape.

Her beautiful long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her eyes gently closed, and every curve and angle of her new body was flawless.

With the physical body complete, the final step, and also the most crucial one, was the soul infusion for revival.

Any slight error would nullify all of Xu Yang's previous efforts.

More importantly, this was a one-time opportunity; if the process were to be disturbed, Bai Lianxue’s soul would dissipate completely, making revival impossible even for a true deity.

"Listen closely. What comes next is of the utmost importance. No matter what sudden circumstances arise, no one must be allowed to approach the seal, not even an inch. Hold your ground, even if the sky falls!"

Xu Yang glanced at Ling Yao on the ground. It seemed he had already anticipated what was about to happen, but at this moment, he could not leave the seal. He projected a surge of spiritual energy into Ling Yao’s body from a distance and simultaneously tossed her a warm, exquisite jade. It was a natural treasure Xu Yang had carried with him during his retreat ten thousand years ago, possessing immense nourishing properties.

As expected, with the help of the precious jade and the warm vital energy surging within her, Ling Yao immediately sat up again to meditate and regulate her breathing. She quickly entered a state of profound meditation, serving as Xu Yang’s protector.

“Lianxue, can you hear my voice? Now, I need you to resonate with my divine consciousness as much as possible. Let’s work together to infuse your soul into the Sacred Lotus. You will awaken very soon!”

Xu Yang’s cautious voice once again touched Ling Yao’s heart. For some reason, upon hearing the Sacred Lotus's heartbeat-like pulsation within her, she, too, felt an instinctive anticipation for Bai Lianxue’s revival.

Boom!

In an instant, an incredibly powerful mental pressure erupted. Xu Yang enveloped the Deep Sea Blue Heart with supreme spiritual energy, forcefully shattering the spiritual artifact’s inherent seals. The brilliant blue heart emitted a cerulean glow until a star-like, radiant point emerged on the surface of this surging power, circling around Xu Yang’s mind.

Initially, this brilliant light strongly repelled the Sacred Lotus, as Bai Lianxue’s soul did not originally belong to the lotus. The two needed to perfectly align for a complete and hundred percent acceptance and fusion.

During this period, Xu Yang focused almost all his mental energy perfectly on a single point, doing his utmost to protect this soul source and prevent even the slightest interference.

After all, this single point of light was the final imprint of Bai Lianxue’s soul.

Boom! Boom!

Just then, a sudden wave of sound fluctuations emerged. Outside, at the peak of the flying waterfall, an incredibly powerful surge of sword energy began to rage.

“Oh no… it’s the people from the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land! How can this be?”

Ling Yao’s eyes snapped open, unable to believe what she was seeing.

Regardless of her allegiance now being with Xu Yang’s camp, she genuinely hoped that Bai Lianxue, a girl of her own bloodline, could successfully revive.

At this critical juncture, her own sect members had arrived. If they discovered the cave’s location, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“I’ll go out and distract them!”

“No need. Just guard this place. If they dare to come in, I have ways to suppress them.”

Xu Yang completely trusted Ling Yao, but even if she went out now, she might not truly be able to lead those people away.

“I trust you. But aren’t you curious how they managed to pinpoint your location so quickly? You are the prodigy of the young generation of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, a true powerhouse in the Great Soul Realm. Those people outside are far inferior to you!”

Ling Yao was clearly enlightened by Xu Yang’s words: “You mean…”

“Exactly. Among your sect, those high-ranking old figures you revere and worship have never truly trusted you! I don’t know your past, but I always felt that your background is not as simple as it appears, and there might even be a significant secret about you hidden within your sect.”

Xu Yang’s insight and intuition had always been remarkably accurate.

Moreover, having previously annihilated dozens of sects in the Northern Barrens within seven days, he had gained a certain understanding of the major forces there. As the true pillar of the Northern Barrens, the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land was a faction Xu Yang had acquired much information about.

Among this information, Xu Yang was especially familiar with the past of Ling Yao, the strongest female cultivator of the younger generation.

She joined the sect at seven, was immediately designated as the master’s personal disciple upon entry, and for unknown reasons, even alarmed the Ten Elders of Heavenly Sword who had been in seclusion for hundreds of years!

How could such an experience belong to an ordinary girl with no background?

Furthermore, the intense anomaly that arose within the Deep Sea Blue Heart when Xu Yang previously utilized her bloodline further confirmed his suspicions.

At that moment, Bai Lianxue’s soul source had not yet fully integrated into the Sacred Lotus. Although he was exerting his utmost, this process could not be rushed or compensated for by Xu Yang's strength. Hastily pushing it, like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, would likely lead to complete failure.

Xu Yang could not afford to gamble in this situation!

Even a slight mishap would cause Bai Lianxue’s soul to dissipate forever.

“Look, there’s a cave here!”

The voices from outside the waterfall quickly drew closer. Ling Yao frowned, and a silvery-white sword quickly materialized in her hand, held horizontally in front of her.

When those familiar figures appeared, Ling Yao was greatly shocked!

“It’s actually you all!”

“Ah hahaha! Senior Sister, what are you doing? A man and a woman, alone in a room, my goodness…”

“That person, he must be the mysterious powerhouse supporting the Great Xia Dynasty that the two Martial Uncles mentioned, right? What are you two doing?”

“Don’t come closer!”

Ling Yao suppressed her fatigue from bloodline depletion and forcefully stood up, blocking Xu Yang’s sealing formation.

“If you still acknowledge me as your Senior Sister, do not come closer, or I will not be polite!”

The people in front of her were several top prodigies of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land’s young generation. Of course, their importance within the sect could not compare to Ling Yao's; they had always been overshadowed by this Senior Sister.

But now, having stumbled upon such a scene, the nature of the situation became open to interpretation.

“Heh, Senior Sister, if you don’t give us an explanation, then don’t blame us for being offensive!”

The one who spoke was the chief disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land’s Seventh Elder, ranking third among the new generation. He had always been uncomfortable with Ling Yao’s constant suppression, and now he had finally found an opportunity. If he could use this to eliminate Ling Yao, the chance for advancement would naturally fall to him.
