Ye Qiu and the Hundred Flowers Fairy were both startled. They hurriedly looked forward and saw that Green Luo had been knocked flying.
“Swoosh!”
Ye Qiu quickly rushed out and caught Green Luo in his arms, thus preventing her from falling to the ground.
Green Luo lay in Ye Qiu’s embrace. A strong masculine scent filled her nostrils. At that moment, Green Luo felt herself becoming intoxicated. She very much enjoyed this sensation.
“Are you alright?”
Ye Qiu released Green Luo and helped her to stand steady.
“I’m fine.” Green Luo felt a little disappointed. She thought to herself, I wanted to lie there a bit longer.
“It seems Miss Green Luo is not the fated one either!” the Long Eyebrow Real Person said.
Ye Qiu looked at the Hundred Flowers Fairy and said softly, “Yue’er, why don’t you give it a try?”
The Hundred Flowers Fairy shook her head and said, “If none of you could do it, then I certainly cannot.”
Ye Qiu said, “How will you know if you don’t try?”
“Let’s still give it a try. If it doesn’t work, then we can think of another way.”
“Be good, Yue’er~”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Hundred Flowers Fairy’s pretty face flushed red. Green Luo widened her eyes and looked at Ye Qiu and the Hundred Flowers Fairy. She wondered what exactly had happened between Young Master Ye and the Palace Lord.
The Long Eyebrow Real Person also glanced at the two of them with a half-smile.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy felt her cheeks burning under their gazes. She steeled herself and said, “Then I’ll give it a try!”
With that, the Hundred Flowers Fairy quickly walked up to the patch of white light. She circulated her true qi, and the flame mark on her forehead lit up.
She was just about to make her move when suddenly, rings of runes appeared above the white light, spreading outwards like ripples on water.
The next second, the white light split open a gap, and a tremendous suction force pulled the Hundred Flowers Fairy inside.
“Splash!”
The Hundred Flowers Fairy fell into the blood pool. She immediately felt as if she had dropped into a pit of fire. The clothes on her body were burned away completely. The originally pitch-black blood turned a vivid red at that moment.
Fortunately, the Hundred Flowers Fairy was immersed in the blood pool, otherwise she would have been completely exposed.
After the black blood turned red, it mingled with brilliant divine radiance. Then, like mischievous little bugs, it swiftly burrowed into the Hundred Flowers Fairy’s pores.
“Ah…”
The Hundred Flowers Fairy cried out in pain. Her face twisted in agony. In the blink of an eye, her long hair turned a fiery red.
She could clearly feel that once the blood entered her body, it burned away all of her original blood completely, as if someone was performing a blood transfusion surgery on her.
Not only that, the Hundred Flowers Fairy’s meridians shattered inch by inch, only to be repaired inch by inch again.
This process was truly too painful.
“Ah…” The Hundred Flowers Fairy could not help but cry out in pain.
Outside the light.
“Young Master Ye, what do we do now?”
Green Luo saw the Hundred Flowers Fairy enduring unimaginable pain. She was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears.
Little did she know, Ye Qiu was equally concerned about the Hundred Flowers Fairy.
When he heard her cry out in pain, his heart leaped to his throat. He almost could not resist rushing in. In his urgency, he activated his heavenly eye and discovered that things were not so simple.
“She seems to be undergoing a blood replacement.”
“And her meridians are also being tempered.”
Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s heart skipped a beat.
He saw that the flesh and skin on the Hundred Flowers Fairy’s feet had been melted away by the blood. Then, the skin below her neck disappeared at a visible speed. In an instant, only a skeleton remained.
“What is happening?”
Ye Qiu was so frightened that he forgot to breathe. If it were not for the fact that the Hundred Flowers Fairy’s eyes were still moving, he would have thought she was dead.
Just then.
Ye Qiu saw again that the blood containing divine radiance was soaking the Hundred Flowers Fairy’s bones. Gradually, the bones in her feet turned red.
“I understand now. This blood is changing her constitution.”
Ye Qiu was shocked. “What exactly is this blood in the pool? How can it be so overbearing?”
He glanced at the Hundred Flowers Fairy again.
At this moment, the Hundred Flowers Fairy’s pretty face was pale. She was on the verge of passing out from the pain, but she was holding on desperately with her tenacious will.
“Young Master Ye, please quickly think of a way to save the Palace Lord!” Green Luo said through her tears.
“Do not worry. The reason she is in such pain is because the blood in the pool is changing her constitution. As long as she can endure it, she will gain tremendous benefits,” Ye Qiu said.
The Long Eyebrow Real Person followed up and said, “You little brat, can the Fairy endure it?”
“She certainly can,” Ye Qiu said firmly.
At that moment, Ye Qiu noticed again that the flesh on the Hundred Flowers Fairy’s feet had regrown.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, a full two hours passed.
Finally, all of the Hundred Flowers Fairy’s melted flesh had regenerated, and the bones throughout her body had also turned a fiery red.
“She should be close to succeeding.”
Ye Qiu thought to himself.
Suddenly, the blood pool emitted bursts of precious light. The red blood splashed continuously, accompanied by a strange fragrance.
“Is the Fairy about to succeed?” the Long Eyebrow Real Person asked.
“It should be soon…” Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, he suddenly saw the Hundred Flowers Fairy’s head droop. She lay motionless, having lost her breath.
“Has she failed?”
Ye Qiu panicked and said, “She was clearly on the verge of success. How could this be…”
At that moment, a line of characters appeared on the forehead of the stone statue.
“Phoenix True Blood, the supreme treasure of the world. Through nirvana and rebirth, it forges the supreme Phoenix Body. This is the ultimate inheritance!”
Only then did Ye Qiu understand that the blood in the pool was actually Phoenix True Blood.
“From the sound of this, she must undergo nirvana and rebirth to forge the supreme Phoenix constitution?”
Ye Qiu looked again and saw that although the Hundred Flowers Fairy had lost her breath, her flesh was melting away once more, only to regenerate continuously.
“I see now. She is undergoing nirvana.”
Ye Qiu’s suspended heart finally settled.
After learning that the blood in the pool was Phoenix True Blood, the Long Eyebrow Real Person nearly burst into tears. “Why is the fated one not this poor Daoist? Waa waa waa…”
Green Luo, on the other hand, looked delighted and said, “If the Palace Lord can forge the supreme Phoenix Body, she will certainly become a Saint-level powerhouse in the future.”
Ye Qiu was somewhat worried because he did not know how long it would take for the Hundred Flowers Fairy to complete her nirvana and rebirth.
If it took too long, and those experts came in, then they would be in trouble.
…
Outside the tomb.
The experts from the various major sects were each sitting in meditation on their flying treasures, quietly waiting for the Saint-level grand formation to collapse.
They still did not know that at this moment, the inheritance in the tomb had already been claimed by someone else.
On the Yin-Yang Sect’s Wind-Riding Boat.
The Sixth Elder frowned and said, “Strange, why has it been so long, and Yin Hua and the others still have not arrived to meet us? I sent her a jade slip message, but I have not received a reply.”
Lin Tiandao said, “Could it be that they encountered that young fellow and are being held up by him?”
“Impossible. That young fellow is only a Golden Core cultivator. He is no match for Yin Hua at all.” The Sixth Elder said worriedly, “I fear that Yin Hua has encountered some mishap…”
Crack crack crack—
Before the Sixth Elder could finish speaking, suddenly, a crack appeared on the Saint-level grand formation.
