Chapter 745 Yaoyao Sealed Away (1/2)
“Yao...Yaoyao?!”
Zhou Yuan hugged Yaoyao’s body, feeling the coldness that spread from it. His complexion instantly turned deathly white, and his voice began to quiver as panic filled his eyes.
“Master Cang Yuan!”
Cang Yuan’s figure had already flashed over before his voice could fade. Yaoyao’s body slowly floated into the air, her fair skin filled with cracks.
These cracks covered her entire body, making Yaoyao appear akin to a fractured porcelain doll. It was a sight that would make anyone ache deeply inside.
With a grave expression, Cang Yuan sighed and said, “It still ended up like this.”
Zhou Yuan hurriedly asked, “What happened to her?”
Cang Yuan frowned as he explained, “She undid the seal, releasing a tremendous amount of power that her body was unable to bear. Her body is now on the verge of shattering, and the power within her has sealed her conscience away, putting her into a deep sleep in order to preserve her life.
“This is a big problem.
“If it were anyone else, there would naturally be numerous ways to reconstruct the body if it’s destroyed, but if Yaoyao loses this body, she would have no chance to reconstruct it.
“Moreover, Yaoyao’s injuries are far too grave. Even putting herself into a deep sleep can only delay the inevitable destruction of her body. Once the body reaches its limit, it will still shatter to pieces.”
Zhou Yuan’s expression involuntarily changed. He never imagined that the problem would be so serious for Yaoyao.
Swis.h.!.+
A streak of light shot over and landed on Yaoyao’s body. It was Tuntun.
It could likewise sense Yaoyao’s condition, and it released a mournful bark in response. Soon after, he looked towards Zhou Yuan and suddenly spat out a jade scroll.
Zhou Yuan took the scroll and scanned it with his Spirit. He discovered that it contained several methods to evolve Silver Shadow, causing him to be stunned. This was likely left behind by Yaoyao.
Zhou Yuan tightly gripped the jade scroll as feelings of self-blame surged in his heart.
Yaoyao had done far too much for him, while he had ultimately failed to protect her. In fact, she had even been forced to undo the seal for him in the end.
He knew that with Yaoyao’s strength, it would have been extremely easy to escape if she was no match for their enemies. But because of his existence, Yaoyao had zero intentions of fleeing alone.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan truly hated how weak he was.
If not for his lack of strength, there would have been no reason for Yaoyao to act!
He had been so proud of his cultivation over the years and had even felt somewhat pleased after ultimately defeating Wu Huang and King Wu. In a single day, he now realized how laughable he had been.
Before the truly strong, he was nothing but an ant that anyone could trample.
“Master Cang Yuan, please, I beg you, save Yaoyao.” Zhou Yuan’s hoa.r.s.e voice trembled. He was akin to a drowning man desperately grasping at anything he could.
Cang Yuan looked at Zhou Yuan. The latter was very dazed and lost.
Although this was only the second time Cang Yuan had met Zhou Yuan, he understood this young man’s character. Even being incapable of finding his eight meridian channels so many years ago had not put him into such a state. From this, one could see how huge of a blow Yaoyao’s injuries were to him.
However, even Cang Yuan found Yaoyao’s situation extremely problematic.
There were many methods to repair the body in this world, but most of them were ineffective on Yaoyao. She was too extraordinary and naturally could not be a.s.sessed through ordinary methods.
“Don’t worry, I will naturally do everything I can to help Yaoyao recover.” Cang Yuan fell silent for a moment before he waved his sleeve. A crystal coffin giving off an extremely cold aura appeared before him.
Yaoyao’s body slowly floated through the air and gently landed in the crystal coffin under Zhou Yuan’s unfocused gaze.
Tuntun jumped onto the crystal coffin, its sharp claws continuously scratching at its clear coffin walls. Chips of ice flew as Tuntun released an anxious and mournful sound.
Cang Yuan sighed but did not try to stop it. Tuntun and Yaoyao had lived together for many years, and there was a very strong bond between them. As such, this scene was naturally very difficult for Tuntun to accept.
Cang Yuan allowed Tuntun to vent its feelings for the time being as he raised his head and looked towards the far away world boundary. The crack was still present, and an icy, giant golden eye could be seen within it. The sacred race experts had evidently sensed his presence.
“Zhou Yuan, I’ll be leaving Cangxuan Heaven with Yaoyao. Otherwise, the ultimate experts of the sacred race will surely try everything they can to descend into this heaven.”
Cang Yuan looked at Zhou Yuan in silence for a moment before he continued, “It will also be extremely dangerous for you to stay here, so come with me. Besides, I’ll probably need your help with Yaoyao.”
Zhou Yuan immediately nodded without hesitation.
He was not worried about his own safety, but if it was to help Yaoyao recover, he would reject any request that was made of him.
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing the sorrow in his heart as he forced a smile and said, “Master Cang Yuan, I’ll go settle my affairs first.”
Cang Yuan nodded.
Zhou Yuan turned around and moved towards sect master Qing Yang and the others.
