Chapter 1133: Rebirth of a Nirvana Phoenix (1/2)

Lu Yun sat silently in the middle of the Inception Spiritrial Arena, not shifting an inch. He’d stilled all of the nine divine sects with his strength alone. No one dared step forward in challenge—all of their courage was swept away by his fearsome face slaps.

The nine divine sect’s original plan had been to conquer the underworld first and use it as a springboard with which to destroy the world of immortals, then slowly devour the rest of the worlds.

But now, in this moment, all of their courage had utterly vanished. Under these circumstances, no one dared confront anyone anymore, not unless someone could defeat Lu Yun in the arena.

The more that the Tomb of Heaven and Earth assimilated into the underworld, the smaller that realm became. Cultivators of the nine divine sects that’d made inroads into the underworld had no other choice but to retreat out of the battlegrounds and return to their own sects. They weren’t able to complete their conquest in time.

……

Nirvana Palace.

The Nirvana princess couldn’t be bothered with Lu Yun in the arena. He was invincible on its stage, but it’d be all too easy to kill him once he left it.

All she cared about was her son.

“How is he?” she politely asked an elder in front of her.

This old man’s name was Mo Youdao and he was the foremost pill dao grandmaster within the chaos. His pill dao had long since reached mystical heights, to the point of turning the foul and rotten into the rare and ethereal. No matter how severe the ailment, his pills could heal it from the root.

Even the six sacred monarchs treated Mo Youdao with respect when meeting the old man.

Out of concern for her son, the Nirvana princess had spared no expense to bring Mo Youdao to Nirvana Palace.

“Sir Chi hasn’t suffered any physical injury.” The old man shook his head after a careful observation. “From the surface, it looks like someone’s robbed him of certain soul parts.”

“What?!” Horror crossed the princess’ face.

Though Chi Wuxia could be reborn, he would have to start over from the beginning if he utilized that combat art. Since he was still alive, the princess wanted to cure him if possible. Though Lu Yun had explained that he was going to strip Chi Wuxia of his five senses and six sensory organs, none other than Chi Wuxia could fully understand the experience.

“Strange, very strange… All signs point to his soul parts being taken, but his soul is complete without any harm. How very odd.” Mo Youdao’s brows drew together in a tight frown after some calculations, at a bit of a loss.

“The rat said he was stripping my son of his five senses and six sensory organs!” the princess hurriedly explained.

“His five senses and six sensory organs?” Mo Youdao widened his eyes and placed two fingers at the center of Chi Wuxia’s brows. He continued after a long pause, “This person is most likely an awe-inspiring personage. Did one of the sacred monarchs do this?”

Though all of the chaos knew that Lu Yun had blockaded the doors of the nine divine sects, Mo Youdao spent his days studying pill dao and completely abstained from the affairs of the outside world. He wouldn’t even have come this time if it wasn’t for the Nirvana princess personally extending an invitation.

“…the prince of Inception Palace did this.” The Nirvana princess’ heart sank when she heard Mo Youdao’s analysis.

“I see,” Mo Youdao murmured. It remained unknown as to whether or not he truly knew of this sacred prince. “There are many ways to take the five senses and six sensory organs, the most common of which is through attacking the physical body.

“The eyes, for example, can be stabbed or dug out. That will rob the victim of their sight and organ of sight at the same time. A situation like this can be remedied by pills to regrow the eyes and recover vision.

“A more sophisticated method would be to employ secret arts to hoodwink the nascent soul and sever its connection with the physical body. That will also affect the five senses and six organs, and such an art can be voided by swapping out for a new body.” Mo Youdao shook his head as he examined Chi Wuxia in detail.
