Chapter 299 - Undying Yuan Shen (1/2)

Soon, the sun was setting, and the sky had slowly darkened. Pink clouds still lingered above their heads while Qiu Jin'er was pushing the wooden wheelchair northwest along the foothills.

When the night fell, and the sky had totally darkened, it became even harder to track them down.

Zhong Yue woke up and he tried to regulate psyche ocean. Soon, he was able to control a slight wisp of his arcane energy to cast out the [Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art] so that he could start healing his wounds.

Junior martial sister has applied the Yuling Paste perfectly in time, my injuries aren't worsening, and I'm even slowly getting better.

He checked on his injuries and found that most of his wounds had stabilized and that only his bones and internal organs were still fragile. He couldn't move violently nor engage in any battles.

Qiu Jin'er had reconnected his broken bones before she applied an abundance of Yuling Paste that covered his entire body. Although the Yuling Paste's medicinal efficacy wasn't sufficient to completely heal his wounds, it managed to stop them from worsening.

Zhong Yue's mortal body was resilient; his study of the Kui Long Celestial Race's Immortal Body has resulted in his body brimming with vitality. In addition to the life force and life energy of Kui Zheng that he had stored in his Yuan Shen secret realms, all of these elements contributed to his speedy recovery.

His most significant injury lied in his psyche ocean, even if he was cloaked in the Kui Long's cowhide, his consciousness was struck into a swoon by the Leize dragon god. He was on the verge of falling into the bottomless abyss of no return. But now that he was awake, it was all fine.

Thankfully, Qiu Jin'er had been there during his period of unconsciousness where he was utterly helpless.

What a pity we don't have the cultivation method for the true Immortal Body, or otherwise, my injuries could recover even faster so that I can return to my peak form in no time.

Zhong Yue sighed and donned a set of clothes from his Yuan Shen secret realms. The [Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art] was an abstruse physique refining technique and also a perfect means to remedy the injuries. Under the effects of the [Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art] , his psyche ocean was slowly recuperating. However, it would still take a few days for it to return to its peak form.

"Senior martial brother, I've contacted my mother through the totem pillars, she will inform the elder council, and they will be sending someone over to save us."

Qiu Jin'er took out the medicinal pellets from her Yuan Shen secret realms, opening one of the jade bottles, she said, "We just need to hide for a few days, and we will be saved. Senior martial brother, open your mouth."

Zhong Yue opened his mouth, and Qiu Jin'er fed him a few medicinal pellets. He shook his head and said, "Junior martial sister, do not expect too much of the Swords Gate, the Swords Gate is experiencing some troubled times of its own, I'm afraid that even the Swords Gate can't do anything to help us now."

The Swords Gate was now facing both internal affairs and external threats. There were traitors in the Swords Gate, while countless races on the outside had their eyes on Swords Gate, waiting to strike the moment the Sword God died. This was the most trying time for Swords Gate, and the perfect opportunity for traitors to incite trouble. This was why Zhong Yue was not hoping for Swords Gate to come and save them.

The young girl asked him to open his mouth again as she fed him a few more medicinal pellets, "The elders of my clan wouldn't let us die here, they will definitely come and save us."

Zhong Yue kept quiet, and he opened his mouth again as the young girl fed him a few more medicinal pellets, "Let's hope so. Junior martial sister, don't you worry. Now that I'm awake, my recovery speed will be faster. When I've regained back to my peak form, even the ordinary Inner Core Qi Practitioners wouldn't be of my match."

"Senior martial brother, why did Tianmo Consort agree to such a peculiar deal?" Qiu Jin'er asked while she kept on feeding him more medicinal pellets.

"Tianmo Consort is in the top hundred of the Warrior Board. She has a wild ambition. I've fought with her, and I knew very well that she would rather die than show her true prowess to the world."

Zhong Yue smiled, "To such an ambitious woman, the stronger her husband was, the more unwilling she would be, and the more she wants to surpass her husband, let alone asking her to be an imperial concubine? The Demon Saint is a demon god from ages ago, one of the ancestors of the demon race, of course she wouldn't be able to surpass him. So then, what would the cunning demon race do when faced with such a situation? If she can't surpass him, then she would take him down. I realized her plan, and I proposed the deal."

Qiu Jin'er was enlightened, and she said, "She is really a demon girl. How cunning...."

"While in turn, killing me does no good to Tianmo Consort, considering the two options, she accepted the deal I've proposed."

Zhong Yue opened his mouth again as she continued feeding him medicinal pellets. He said smilingly, "In the future, she will kill me after I help her to kill the Demon Saint, because if she can't allow the Demon Saint to surpass her, then she won't allow me to do so either. I'll have to die, even more, it's best if I can die together with the Demon Saint."

The young girl was shocked, she was puzzled, "Then why is senior martial brother helping her?"

"Because if I don't, she will come after me along with the Demon Saint. Furthermore, the revival of the Demon Saint is definitely not good news to the humans and the other races. No matter in what sense, I'll have to kill him … Junior martial sister, what is this?"

As Zhong Yue was looking at Qiu Jin'er opening her Yuan Shen secret realms to take out more medicinal pellets, he noticed a woodcarving in it, and he said curiously, "Let me have a look at that woodcarving."

The woodcarving was incredibly bizarre, engraved with familiar-looking totem patterns and it was shaped into one foot Kui Long statue.

Qiu Jin'er quickly took out the Kui Long woodcarving and said, "This is from that Kui Long expert's secret realms. After his death, his secret realms collapsed and his items paved across the floor, I've kept them all but didn't have the time to inspect them yet."

Zhong Yue took over the woodcarving, he then took out the Kui Long's cowhide and laid it on his legs, he looked carefully at the two items, meticulously cross-referencing the totem patterns on them.

The young girl was nonchalant, she took out a few more jade bottles and continued feeding him with more medicinal pellets, she said, "Senior martial brother, open your mouth. The totem patterns on the woodcarving are quite similar to the totem patterns of the Immortal Body, but there are also some disparities in them. But I haven't studied them yet. I don't know what relation it has to the Immortal Body."
