144: Return to host China!

Not having to enter the Black Abyss is, for your current self, a blessing in disguise.

Because once you enter the Black Abyss, you cannot guarantee that you will come out alive.

The Barren Deathland left too deep an impression on you, causing you to unconsciously feel a trace of fear whenever you see a Forbidden Ground similar to the Barren Deathland.

You slowly closed your eyes in the gray-black mist, floating in mid-air, feeling your Physical Body being eroded by the power of destruction.

One year later!

The eleventh year!

After a year of secluded cultivation and comprehension, you have gradually grasped the tail of the True Meaning of Destruction, but there is still some distance to go before truly mastering the Will of Destruction.

However, the bad news is that your Physical Body has been severely eroded at this time. Even though the True Dragon Precious Body possesses extraordinary recovery abilities, it is still somewhat insufficient against these destructive forces.

The thirteenth year!

After three years of comprehension and Cultivation, you finally grasped a trace of the True Meaning of Destruction, and you integrated this trace of the True Meaning of Destruction into your Heaven Slaying Sword Embryo.

However, you quickly discovered a very serious problem: the True Meaning of Destruction would consume a large amount of your Divine Soul Power when integrated into the Divine Soul Sword Embryo, leading to Soul Power exhaustion and your eyes beginning to blacken.

Seeing that things were going badly, you immediately took out the Divine Soul Spirit Medicine that Bai Zhan gave you from your Storage Ring.

You unhesitatingly took out a Spirit Medicine and put it into your mouth; the Spirit Medicine melted instantly upon entering your mouth.

The next second, you felt a sense of comfort, and soon all your uncomfortable symptoms disappeared.

Immediately after, you continued to fuse with the True Meaning of Destruction.

This process took you a full forty-nine days.

During this period, your Divine Soul constantly depleted, and then you used Spirit Medicine to replenish your Soul Power. In this way, after consuming a total of five Divine Soul Spirit Medicines, you finally integrated the True Meaning of Destruction into your Divine Soul Sword Embryo.

“Phew!”

“Finally, the second stage is complete!”

You slowly opened your eyes and let out a long breath, preparing to immediately leave this strange Southern Wasteland Divine Continent.

“What is this?”

However, when you turned to leave, you found that your entire body was a black ball, with fresh blood occasionally seeping out from within.

You discovered that every part of your body, from top to bottom, had been eroded and damaged by the power of destruction, and the black substance was the scab formed after the True Dragon Precious Body recovered.

You didn't have time to clean the scabs at this moment, because you could feel that beneath the scabs, the power of destruction was still eroding your Physical Body.

You turned and left, quickly exiting the gray-black mist area.

After leaving the black mist, you immediately felt a sense of relief.

In your opinion, this black mist was far less terrifying than the black mist of the Barren Deathland; when leaving the black mist there, there was a very powerful Law of Time.

After moving away from the Black Abyss, you accelerated your speed towards the Endless Sea.

“Hiss!”

“It hurts so much!”

Not long after flying, you discovered that sharp pains were constantly coming from your Meridians.

At present, you had no way to resolve such injuries. You endured the sharp pain and gritted your teeth, continuing to fly.

This time, due to the damaged Meridians, it took you half a year to reach the border.

Upon arriving at the border, you finally saw the dark black seawater of the Endless Sea.

You arrived at the edge of the Endless Sea, but instead of leaving immediately, you sat down on the spot to slightly clean up your body's condition.

“Hmm?”

While cleaning the scabs on your body, you accidentally discovered that the Meridians inside your body were actually repairing themselves at an extremely slow rate.

“True Dragon Precious Body?”

You could only think of this one possibility.

After moving away from the Southern Wasteland Divine Continent, your True Dragon Precious Body began to exert its power again. Without the erosion, you clearly felt the True Dragon Precious Body starting to play its role.

Soon after, you cleaned off the scabs on your body, revealing clean, newly grown skin.

You sat in place and began secluded cultivation.

The fourteenth year!

After half a year of recovery, the erosion injuries to your Physical Body and Meridians had completely healed.

At this moment, you marveled at the power of the True Dragon Precious Body.

This experience once again refreshed your understanding of the True Dragon Precious Body.

The next day!

You got up and flew towards the Endless Sea. It was now time for you to return to the Eastern Dao Divine Province and rendezvous with Xuanyuan Tianji.

Many years had passed since your last outing, and you had no idea what the situation was with Xuanyuan Tianji.

The sixteenth year!

You cast the Great Void Art and once again stepped into the Eastern Dao Divine Province.

After entering the Eastern Dao Divine Province, you rushed non-stop to the location of Qin Kingdom.

One month later!

You returned to the small courtyard in Qin Kingdom.

When you saw that the small courtyard was still fresh and tidy, you breathed a sigh of relief.

You were really worried that Xuanyuan Tianji and the other person had met with misfortune.

Upon entering the small courtyard, you saw that Long Xinyue was actually Body Refining.

“You’re back!”

Xuanyuan Tianji walked out of the house and said, looking at you.

You looked at Xuanyuan Tianji, then your body froze in place, your mouth slightly agape.

“You… you’re already at the Body Integration Stage?”

You were surprised to find that Xuanyuan Tianji’s Cultivation Realm had already reached the Middle Stage of the Body Integration Stage, and she would soon catch up to you.

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Tianji smiled indifferently, as if breaking through to the Body Integration Stage in such a short time was a very normal thing.

“It’s very normal. The Spiritual Qi in the Canglan Realm is not only denser than in the Dead Land, but most importantly, the Spiritual Qi isn’t polluted, so the Cultivation speed is naturally faster!”

Hearing Xuanyuan Tianji say this, you suddenly felt a bit disheartened.

However, you quickly let it go, because you knew in your heart that Xuanyuan Tianji had only lost her Cultivation, but her Realm still existed.

“What’s his situation?”

Immediately after, you turned your gaze to Long Xinyue, asking Xuanyuan Tianji about his situation.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that she saw Long Xinyue had nothing to do every day, and an ethereal sadness would unconsciously emanate from him, so she had Long Xinyue go Body Refining.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that once Long Xinyue focused on doing one thing, he would no longer feel that way.

You looked at Long Xinyue, who was currently Body Refining, and knew that for him, who temporarily couldn’t Cultivate, Body Refining was the most suitable activity.

Suddenly, Long Xinyue, who was Body Refining, saw your figure and immediately stopped Cultivating to come to your side.

After a brief chat with Long Xinyue, you told him to continue his Cultivation.

You could feel Long Xinyue’s concern for you.

Looking at Long Xinyue before you, you could feel that with his incomplete Divine Soul, he was as pure as a child.

Afterwards, you entered the house and found Xuanyuan Tianji. You recounted to Xuanyuan Tianji all the situations you encountered during your recent outing.
