Chapter 574 - Evildoer (1/2)

The Solar Cosmic Ray had blast out from the copper lamp, it was brightly colored and yet deadly at the same time. Strong enough to burn the Yuan Shen and vaporize the mortal body in the matter of just seconds!

Zhong Yue morphed into the three-taloned Golden Crow Yuan Shen and shrunk smaller than the size of beans right before the Solar Cosmic Ray reaches to him.

The Golden Crow Yuan Shen has strong immunity against the Solar Cosmic Ray; even more, it could absorb the Solar Cosmic Ray and enhance itself stronger, just like what he had done during the burst of solar storm.

Moreover, his three-taloned Golden Crow Yuan Shen has been staying inside of the crow's nest on the Sui Tree, it was nurtured and nourished more formidable than before. It could now sustain longer and better against the Solar Cosmic Ray.

But despite all of that, Zhong Yue remained cautious and vigilant, he dare not let his guard down not even for a second.

The Solar Cosmic Ray burst out from the copper lamp in an incredible speed. Zhong Yue had only withstood within it for a few seconds before he had to leave. His Yuan Shen was punctured with holes and wounded greatly.

Zhong Yue quickly moved aside from the path of the powerful light ray, and watched as it reflects within the Yin Yang Reincarnation, leaving holes all over the place in just the matter of seconds.

Eventually, the Solar Cosmic Ray has scattered into many thin and narrow light rays that flashes around in a disordered, chaotic manner, adding another few more holes on his already perforated Yuan Shen.

Moments later, Shui Zian, Zuo Xiangsheng and the other Swords Gate experts saw Zhong Yue walking out of Yu Wenju's Yuan Shen secret realm. He quietly moved to the front of the scale mirror and held a dark and gloomy face.

For the first time ever, the other disciples that stood up and greeted him were not reciporated by his usual smile and returned greetings. Instead, Zhong Yue had only nodded without even looking at them in the eyes.

"What's wrong with Elder Zhong? Why is he so furious as if the whole world is owing him money?"

The crowd were curious, and Zhong Yue has abruptly cast out his Yuan Shen in front of the scale mirror. What could they say… it was too pitiful to even look at it. Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen was filled with holes from tip to toe, back to front!

Thousands up to millions of little holes bore through his Yuan Shen in all direction, making it looking like an ant's nest or something even worse. No one could really imagine what kind of incident could have damage his Yuan Shen to this extend!

The wounds inflicted on the Yuan Shen would not reflect on one's mortal body's senses, but the pain and agony would occur within one's soul!

For Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen to suffer such damage, the pain that he endures would be enormous, which clearly explained why he had held a gloomy face and unhappy mood. After all, no one would probably still be happy and gentle while holding against such unbearable pain, most would already be rolling on the ground crying for help.

And yet, Zhong Yue was still able to hold his temperament and walk in a steady gait all the way to the scale mirror without even groaning. Such willpower of his has truly earned the respects of many.

Zhong Yue cast the Sui Tree out in front of the scale mirror. The tree branches have automatically reached for the Golden Crow and tucked it into the nest, while the Golden Crow Yuan Shen has been slowly healed in the nest.

After some time, the Golden Crow Yuan Shen was fully recovered and he kept it back while striding away. But just moments right after, the Zhong Shan Clan young man has walked back and cast out his Golden Crow Yuan Shen again.

His Golden Crow Yuan Shen was also as shabby as before, tiny holes bore through it and turned it into an ant's nest.

He cast the Sui Tree to help in healing the Golden Crow Yuan Shen while looking into the mirror to attend to the tiny flaws and injuries within it. After his Yuan Shen has been healed completely, the young elder walked away again.

Yet, soon after, he had returned into the vicinity of the scale mirror. This time, it was no different still.

The Swords Gate disciples were shocked. In just a day's time, Zhong Yue has been coming back and forth for more than a dozen times. Every time he would leave with a perfect conditioned Golden Crow Yuan Shen and return moments later with a Yuan Shen perforated with holes. His Yuan Shen would be on the brink of dispersing when he return but he was always able to heal it completely before the tragedy happens.

"What is Elder Zhong doing? Why is he always coming back in such a shabby state?", Tian Yanzhong asked curiously, but no one had any answers.

In the passage of time, the frequency of Zhong Yue coming back was lesser and slower. Each time he was wounded and healed himself after, his Golden Crow Yuan Shen would grow a little stronger and formidable than before.

He could clearly feel it, the improvements for better in his Golden Crow Yuan Shen and also its gradual changes in turning into the innate True Spirit.

At this rate, I don't need tens or hundred years to cultivate the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit already!, Zhong Yue was shocked and overjoyed.

All this days of trying, his Yuan Shen was reverting between fully recovered and a fine line away from collapsing. Every time he recovers from the injuries, parts of the Golden Crow Yuan Shen would be refined and changed, eventually making it a whole new Golden Crow Yuan Shen in time.

Further, the fact that his Yuan Shen was growing closer in becoming the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit was truly an unexpected glad tidings.

In his estimation, he would be able to shorten the time by a full 50 years to cultivate his Golden Crow Yuan Shen into the innate True Spirit!

Another month flashed past, he was now finally able to withstand within the Solar Cosmic Ray. When inside of the Solar Cosmic Ray, his body grew larger so as to capture more of the light particles and refine them.

As he could now endure and withstand the Solar Cosmic Ray, it wouldn't be as difficult to refine the Solar Cosmic Ray anymore.

If only I can cultivate the Star Toad Yuan Shen together as well. I have the Innate Tai Yin Qi which is the Sui Tree to the Star Toad Yuan Shen. Sadly, there is no way the Star Toad Yuan Shen can survive in the Solar Cosmic Ray, Zhong Yue sighed in his heart.

This was because the Solar Cosmic Ray was in Yang elemented in nature and could deal far greater damage to the Star Toad Yuan Shen. His Star Toad Yuan Shen wouldn't be able to withstand even a single second before it burns away in the Solar Cosmic Ray.

After over a dozen days, the Solar Cosmic Ray in the Yin Yang Reincarnation grew smaller and dimmer. Another half a day, the Solar Cosmic Ray was completely captured and refined by Zhong Yue, he infused his psyche into it and formed it into various totem patterns.

"Finally…", Zhong Yue heaved a breath. His mortal body walked into the Yin Yang Reincarnation and his Yuan Shen returned to his body. With a change of thought, godly rays flowed out of his hand in the form of totem patterns and turned into a saber, the Solar Divine Saber.

The saber was over ten thousand feet long, purely formed by the Solar Cosmic Ray. It was shining bright in rays but the saber body could not be seen.

After all, the Solar Cosmic Ray was shapeless, it was just a ray of light.

The light ray was changing shapes incessantly, sometimes a long saber, sometimes a swimming fish, sometimes a round sphere like the sun.

Suddenly, the light saber surged into his body and flowed out on his back. It gathered behind him and hovered like a golden sun.
