"Is he dead...?" Yun Che said with difficulty.???
"Dead! The demon soul has collapsed. It won't take long for the body to be burned by the Golden Crow flames." Jasmine sighed silently in her heart: "Don't distract yourself from anything else now and heal your wounds with all your strength! You were seriously injured this time.
Seriously, even you may die at any time if you delay for a little longer!"
Yun Che stopped talking and tried his best to adjust to a relatively normal posture. Then he quickly got rid of distracting thoughts and concentrated on the Dao Fu Tu Jue... He knew that Jasmine's words were not alarmist. Even when he was in the Ancient Xuan Ark, he was not seriously injured.
Can't feel any pain.
The internal and external injuries this time were extremely severe. Looking at the entire Tianxuan Continent, Yun Che is the only one who can remain alive after being injured to this extent. In addition, his profound energy is also extremely low. It is impossible to fully recover this time.
It takes quite a long time.
Due to the serious injury, Yun Che's concentration was also greatly affected. A full quarter of an hour passed before the pale golden pagoda slowly appeared, and the breath of heaven and earth that poured into Yun Che's body began to become richer.
At the end of the Moon-Slaughter Devil's Cave, the broken corpse of the Moon-Slaughter Demon Lord has been basically burned by the Golden Crow Flame. Without the power of the demon god, the demon body cannot escape the fate of being burned to ashes... And under the layers of black ashes
, but it vaguely projects an unusual black light.
Behind is the wall at the end of the Moon-Slaughter Devil's Cave. Yun Che's sword after activating "Bombing the Sky" hit the Moon-Slaughter Demon Lord, but more power hit this dark wall. It's just that
, under the power that destroyed the Moon-Slaughter Demon Lord, the wall still did not collapse. It only cracked a dozen long and thin cracks, but they could only be regarded as tiny cracks.
Within the cracks, wisps of abnormal black energy quietly overflowed from outside the stone wall. However, in complete darkness, it was definitely not detectable by the naked eye.
All the dust has settled, but the eerie cries and laughter are still echoing in the Moon-Slaughter Devil's Cave. The Netherworld Udumbara Flower is still swaying in the windless wind, but only four petals are left. Both the sound of ghost cries and the purple light are much weaker.
.
Blue Wind Country, the land of extreme ice and snow.
Dongfang Xiu traveled all the way north, traveling day and night, with almost no breaks along the way. With his cultivation level as he had just entered Wang Xuan, it took him less than ten hours to rush from Blue Wind Imperial City to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.
After arriving at Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace and explaining his purpose of coming, Dongfang Xiu had exhausted all his profound energy and fell headlong into the snow. It took him a long time to recover.
"Don't worry, Palace Master Dongfang. With the Frozen Cloud Immortal Soul in his possession, the Palace Master can receive our rumors at any time even though he is three hundred thousand miles away."
The news of Xiao Yun's disappearance also deeply shocked everyone in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. Yun Che once said personally that Xiao Yun was his sworn brother. He also brought him to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace a few months ago and helped scare him away.
Palace of the Sun and Moon.
Murong Qianxue and others did not have time to settle down Dongfang Xiu. Together with the strength of the six of them, they quickly built a sound transmission profound formation unique to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. With the help of this profound formation, Yun Che, who possesses the soul of Frozen Cloud Immortal, as long as he is not separated from Tian Xuan
The continent will definitely be able to receive the message.
The profound formation of sound transmission was built, and Murong Qianxue stood in the formation, concentrating on the sound transmission, but she immediately opened her eyes with a look of surprise on her face.
"No, the sound cannot be transmitted." Murong Qianxue frowned and shook her head solemnly.
"How could it be?" Feng Hanyue said nervously: "How could the Palace Master not receive the sound transmission if he has the Ice Cloud Immortal Soul? This has never happened before. Unless...unless the Palace Master removes the ice in his body.
Yun Xian Po has been eliminated."
"Ah!" Feng Hanxue exclaimed, her beautiful eyes blurred in nervousness for a moment: "Could it be...does the palace master not want us..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Jun Lian concubine immediately stopped: "The Palace Master is the most affectionate and righteous person in the world, and there is no way he would suddenly give up on our Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. If he really gets rid of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Soul, we
The six people should also feel something. I guess that the Supreme Sea Palace is located on the ocean three thousand miles south of Tianxuan Pole. Its location is out of the scope of Tianxuan Continent, so it cannot receive our transmission.
. Or maybe... it is a holy land after all, and there should be a powerful protective barrier, thus isolating the sound transmission."
"There is another possibility that the Palace Master is currently in the 'Moon-Slaying Devil's Cave' that he mentioned several times before." Chu Yueli said: "The Palace Master said twice that the most important thing for him to go to the Supreme Sea Palace is
The purpose is to enter the 'Moon-Slaughter Demon Cave' to find something. And since the 'Moon-Slaughter Demon Cave' is the largest forbidden area in the Supreme Ocean Palace, there must be a very strong barrier to isolate it, so it is normal that sound cannot be transmitted."
"Anyway, let's not make any wild guesses yet." Murong Qianxue walked out of the profound formation, and then said to Dongfang Xiu: "Palace Master Dongfang, please rest here for the time being and send a message about Queen Cang Yue. The palace master cannot receive the message.
There must be a reason, but there is no need to worry too much. After that, we will try to send messages every hour, and I believe the palace owner will respond soon."
"So... thank you, fairies." Dongfang Xiu replied in a weak voice.
As they said, Murong Qianxue and others will rebuild the sound transmission profound formation every hour to carry out sound transmission, and consciously continue to increase the power of the profound force...
But two whole days passed and there was still no reply.
This time, everyone in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace began to panic.
Even though none of them said it out loud, everyone had a vague feeling in their hearts... Not only Xiao Yun, but also Yun Che seemed to have had something happen to him.
In the dim world, Yun Che, who had been sitting quietly for who knows how long, suddenly opened his eyes and said in a rather urgent voice: "How long have I been in trance just now!?"
"More than twenty hours." Jasmine said calmly.
"What!?" Yun Che stood up in shock, and the injuries all over his body suddenly appeared, making his face twitch and he moaned in pain.
Ordinary injuries, even serious injuries in the eyes of ordinary people, can be completely healed in the past two days. But this time is different. Not only did he suffer internal and external injuries, but he also suffered fundamental injuries. Therefore, despite more than twenty hours of quiet healing,
His injuries were only slightly healed, and his profound strength had roughly recovered by about 50%.
"What? Are you afraid that you won't be able to make it to the Demon Sword Convention?" Jasmine snorted coldly: "Humph, you should fully recover from your injuries first, and then think about how to get out! As for the Demon Sword Convention, it is not something you need to consider now.
"
"No!" Yun Che denied, and then quickly turned around.
A hundred feet away, four points of purple light from the underworld were slowly swaying. When Yun Che looked over, a gloomy and heart-piercing sound of ghost cries slowly came from the sound.
Except for the incomplete petals, the Netherworld Udumbara Flower was exactly the same as when Yun Che first saw it. Even the only four remaining petals were still glowing with purple light, showing no signs of withering or falling.
Even though he was hundreds of feet away, when Yun Che looked at it, he still clearly felt a feeling that his soul was being touched.
"Great." Yun Che let out a long sigh of relief: "Master once said that the Netherworld Flower will only bloom for three days, and will wither instantly after three days."
"Although only two days have passed since it opened. Five of its petals have been broken, and its strength has been greatly weakened. Based on my knowledge of strange herbs and elixirs, it will definitely wither earlier!
The remaining four petals are still intact, which can be said to be a great blessing!"
Yun Che couldn't help feeling afraid. In order to concentrate on healing his wounds, he closed off his six senses. However, he couldn't feel the passage of time at all when he was in trance, so he forcibly retained some consciousness to prevent himself from being in trance for too long. It was just that he was injured earlier.
It was too heavy, and his consciousness was already extremely weak. What little consciousness he had left behind quickly dissipated... The moment he woke up, he instantly thought of the flowering period of the Netherworld Udumbara flower, and he was so shocked that he almost broke into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the last four petals of the Netherworld Udumbara flower still exist.
But at the same time, he also knew extremely clearly that if the Netherworld Udumbara flower was intact, it would still have a full day before it withered.
But with only four petals left, the flowering period of the Netherworld Udumbara flower will definitely be shortened, and it will never last for three days! Now that two more days have passed... it is very likely that it will suddenly wither in the next breath!
"You want to forcibly pick the Netherworld Udumbara Flower?" Jasmine raised her slender eyebrows and scolded: "Are you crazy?! Have you forgotten the horror of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower so quickly? What's more, you are covered with injuries now, and your profound strength is only
After half recovery, let alone picking, even if you want to get within thirty feet, it will be difficult to reach the sky! If you forcefully get close, you will most likely be captured by the ghost and become a living dead!"
Yun Che took a long breath and said with iron words: "I know how terrifying the Netherworld Udumbara Flower is! But don't forget why I am forced to stay here! I also encountered a Moon-Slaying Demon Lord inexplicably, and almost died in it.
this!"
"What about the Moon-Slaying Demon Lord, what about ancient demons, what about world catastrophes... I have no interest in any of these! I just want to get the Netherworld Udumbara Flower! And I have wasted so much effort and taken such a big risk, and there is still one short step left.
I risked my life just a little bit to finally save these four remaining Netherworld Udumbara petals! If I can't take them away, how can I be willing to do so!"
Speaking of what happened later, Yun Che gritted his teeth slightly. What he encountered after entering the Moon-Slaughter Demon Cave was actually countless times beyond his expectation. With his character, he had already reached such a stage, even though he knew that it would be extremely difficult and the risks were extremely high,
I would never allow myself to leave empty-handed.
Jasmine said solemnly: "Huh, I know your favorite thing to do is to work hard. But you should also have the most basic self-awareness! Two days ago, you personally experienced the power of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower and it was still so far away! Now the scar is
You haven’t recovered yet, have you forgotten the pain?”
"Jasmine, tell me." Yun Che's voice was very calm: "With only four petals, instead of the complete Netherworld Udumbara flower, can it help you regain your life?"
"...No! Of course not!" After a brief pause, Jasmine categorically rejected: "The incomplete Netherworld Flower and the complete Netherworld Flower are two completely different concepts! After reshaping my body, I want my body and soul to be unified.
You must have a complete Netherworld Udumbara flower to do it! Not to mention five missing petals, even if only one is missing, it will not have any effect! You can really get close to them and take them even if you risk your life now.
Picking it out is just in vain!"
"Besides, there's no way you can do it alive!"
Jasmine's words did not move Yun Che's expression. Instead, he looked at Netherworld Udumbara Flower with more serious eyes: "You are lying!"
"...Lie!?" Jasmine's tone became colder: "You don't even believe my words now?"
"No," Yun Che shook his head gently: "Jasmine, you are the person I trust the most in this world. As long as you say something, no matter how incredible it is, I will believe it without hesitation. Except...
What you just said."
Jasmine: "You..."
"Jasmine..." Yun Che's voice became extremely gentle: "The year we met, I was sixteen years old and you were thirteen. You reforged my profound veins for me and asked me to worship you as my teacher.
He also stepped on my head with his foot and forced me to kowtow to you... After that, we were together day and night, all the time. Even with every breath, we could clearly feel each other's presence. Today, it has been seven
It’s been more than a year.”
"You...what do you want to say." Yun Che's words made Jasmine's voice become a little strange.
"I want to say that we have been together day and night for seven years. The time I have spent with you is longer than your parents, longer than your most important brother, and longer than anyone else in the world. Therefore, I am better than anyone else.
Knowing you is like knowing me better than anyone else in this world."
Jasmine: “…”
"So now, I can tell right away whether you are lying. What's more, you don't like lying at all, and you are very bad at lying. Normally, if you want to hide something from me, you will keep silent, and
You deliberately made me feel that you didn’t want to tell me. Except for the matter of ‘self-proclaimed mysterious power’, you have never told me any nonsense lies to deceive me!”
"This is why your 'self-proclaimed mysterious power' was able to hide it from me for so long. Because that was the only lie you ever made! And just now, it was the second time! But I am no longer the person I was five years ago. This time, I won't
I will be fooled again. No matter what..."
"No matter what, do you have to forcefully pick those four petals?" Jasmine's tone changed slightly, and I don't know what kind of complicated emotions were mixed in: "Okay... I did lie just now, but I also
It’s not a complete lie! There are only four netherworld petals. Although it can help me unite my body and soul, it cannot achieve perfect integration! At most, it can only last for twenty or thirty years!"
"...What will happen in twenty or thirty years?" Yun Che was startled.
"It is very likely that body and soul will repel each other and have to return to the current state! Hum, I will not be an idiot to endure the pain like Fen Juechen."
"I see!" Yun Che nodded heavily: "In other words, it will allow you to have independent existence and absolute freedom for at least twenty years. After that, the worst you can do is return to your current state."
"Then you must get these four Netherworld Petals!!"
"You!!" Jasmine suddenly became angry. She gritted her teeth in the Sky Poison Pearl and said angrily: "You really can't shed tears until you see the coffin! In that case, then go ahead! Let me see you
Where did I get the confidence to pluck those four Netherworld petals!" 8
