Chapter 783 – Comprehending The Dao! (2/2)

In next to no time, the last day arrived. But Yang Ye still hadn’t broken through.

Both of their expressions were extremely gloomy.

At this moment, Yang Ye’s entire face was jet black, and the Death Energy within him was horrifyingly dense. It caused both the Sword Spirit and Ding Shaoyao to dare not get close to him.

“Do you have any other way to save him?” asked Ding Shaoyao solemnly.

The Sword Spirit shook her head in response, “Life, death, age, and sickness are part of the supreme Laws of the Heaven Dao. They are the eternal laws of the universe. The Death Energy within him isn’t man made, so the only way to survive is to fight for it with the heavens itself! Actually, it’s truly a miracle that he’s still alive right now. In my opinion, the violet energy within him isn’t Quintessence Violet Energy. Because it’s impossible for Quintessence Violet Energy to keep someone alive when that person’s lifespan is exhausted!”

“That’s a secret of his!” said Ding Shaoyao.

The Sword Spirit said, “Now, we can only pray that he breaks through. Otherwise, prepare for his burial!”

Time pa.s.sed by slowly, and the countenances of the Sword Spirit and Ding Shaoyao turned paler and paler. Because Yang Ye seemed like a dead man no matter what! He had snow white hair, a jet black face, and was covered in the energy of death!

“He’s beyond saving….” The Sword Spirit closed her eyes.

Bang!

Suddenly, a strand of aura suddenly surged out from within Yang Ye. The Sword Spirit opened her eyes, and there was undisguised happiness on her face, “I knew it! I knew that fool wouldn’t die so easily!”

Ding Shaoyao heaved a huge sigh of relief as well. Because Yang Ye was at the seventh rank of the Monarch Realm now. Moreover, the Death Energy around Yang Ye had vanished while Yang Ye’s face was gradually becoming rosy once more.

“How long will he be able to live now?” asked Ding Shaoyao.

The Sword Spirit sized Yang Ye up carefully and replied, “Around 2 months of time!”

“That little? How could that be possible?” Ding Shaoyao felt disbelief, “A single breakthrough would give him 10 years of life at least. How could it only be 2 months?”

The Sword Spirit explained, “His situation is different. He activated the Sword Domain by force, and it instantly transformed him into a dead person. In other words, he had negative lifespan before this.”

“2 months?” Ding Shaoyao’s brows knit together tightly as she said, “He either has to break through again or find treasures to increase his lifespan within 2 months. Otherwise, he’ll still die, right?”

“Yes!” The Sword Spirit said, “He isn’t such a genius to advance again in 2 months of time. Even if he can, I don’t suggest it. Because forcefully increasing his cultivation would harm his foundation. So, we must find some treasures to increase his lifespan during this period. Alas, how troublesome. We already have to avoid the defiant profounders and Hallowed Grounds, now we even have to look for treasures to increase his lifespan. How truly troublesome….”

“It’s fine so long as there’s a chance!” said Ding Shaoyao.

The Sword Spirit shook her head and said, “Profounder Continent is in a very bad situation right now. Because both the Hallowed Grounds and defiant profounders want to destroy it. Moreover, the current strength of Profounder Continent isn’t able to resist any one of them. So, I feel that he must abandon the Profounder Continent, otherwise he’ll be burdened to death by it!”

“He won’t!” Ding Shaoyao said, “So long as they don’t betray him, then he won’t betray them. I don’t know if he’ll be able to protect the continent, but he’ll definitely do his best. He’s that sort of person. He will never give up on you if you stand on his side. That’s why I chose him over the Mortal Emperor, Luo Jun!”

“All of you will be the death of him!” The Sword Spirit spoke coldly, “If he gives up everything and focuses on the sword, then I guarantee that his attainments will absolutely not be inferior to the Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor, and it might even surpa.s.s my first master.”

Ding Shaoyao suddenly said, “Do you know why he cultivates the Sword Dao? Do you know why he wants to get stronger?”

The Sword Spirit remained silent.

Ding Shaoyao continued, “He doesn’t cultivate the Sword Dao and works hard to become stronger so that he can live forever. He hopes to possess strength to protect those he cares about. If you make him choose between the sword and those he cares about, then what do you think he would choose? You know the answer. So, it’s impossible for him to abandon everyone and focus on cultivating in the Sword Dao with you.”

“Nothing is impossible!” The Sword Spirit said, “He’ll choose the sword once his mind is clear!”

Ding Shaoyao shook her head and stopped arguing, and then she gazed at Yang Ye instead. When she saw Yang Ye still seated there with his eyes closed, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s he doing?”

The Sword Spirit’s gaze descended onto Yang Ye. She gazed at him for a short while before happiness suddenly appeared in her eyes, “He’s actually comprehending! What a surprise!”

Ding Shaoyao was slightly stunned, and then she nodded while happiness appeared in her eyes as well.

The comprehending they spoke off was actually quite vague and impossible to discern clearly. Because it didn’t point to anything specific. Or perhaps it should be said that it represented many things. Sometimes, 10 years of cultivation couldn’t compare to a day of ‘comprehension’. No matter what Yang Ye was comprehending, they had no doubt that it was extraordinarily good news for Yang Ye!

“It surprises me as well!” A voice suddenly resounded out of nowhere.

Both the Sword Spirit and Ding Shaoyao’s expressions changed drastically at the same time, and then they looked over to the source of the voice. They saw a woman standing not too far from them.

She wore a linen dress, a chain around her body, and had bare feet.

It was Nether Maiden!
