215: The Execution Platform, the Healing Method!

"Furthermore, the material of this altar is unique and seems to be connected to some Law of Karma. If it were destroyed rashly, it might trigger an unknown curse, which would be unfavorable."

"It would be better to let me take it back to the Azure Cloud Sect to suppress it and slowly research a way to break it."

Hearing this, the Yaochi Holy Mother gave Lu Yuan a deep look.

After the previous series of events, she had come to greatly admire Lu Yuan's methods and insight. She even vaguely felt that he possessed some secret technique for peering into the secrets of heaven.

Since Lu Yuan said so, there must be a reason for it.

"Since Fellow Daoist Lu has this intention, then it shall be as you say." The Yaochi Holy Mother dispersed the immortal light from her fingertips and nodded slightly.

Lu Yuan did not stand on ceremony and gave a grand wave of his sleeve.

"Collect."

An invisible spatial force instantly enveloped the black altar, forcibly pulling it into the eternal night demon ring.

At the same time, Lu Yuan thought to himself: "System, query targeted intelligence."

[Please set the direction for intelligence acquisition, Host.]

"Query the true Origin and function of this black altar."

[Targeted intelligence Rank set to: Purple.]

[Destiny Points required: 1,000 points.]

[Confirm?]

"Confirm."

[Purple Intelligence: The immortal execution platform, a supreme treasure of the Soul Clan. Although it is a Transcendent Spiritual Treasure, it is not on the rankings due to its unique concealment properties. This treasure harms the harmony of heaven and possesses two major characteristics.]

[First, it can imprison Divine Souls. Second, it can sacrifice the imprisoned Divine Souls to unleash a strike specifically targeting the power of the Divine Soul. The power of the strike depends on the strength and number of the sacrificed Divine Souls.]

[Theoretically, if a True Immortal's soul is sacrificed, it can even slay a True Immortal. Furthermore, the immortal execution platform has a unique attack method. Besides direct attacks, it can also kill another's Divine Soul by ignoring spatial distance based on Karma or a medium.]

An imperceptible flash of joy crossed Lu Yuan's eyes.

Good stuff.

That fool Soul Void Master didn't even have time to use this ultimate weapon before he died, and instead, it benefited him.

The characteristics of this immortal execution platform were simply Heaven-Defying, especially the ability to kill while ignoring spatial distance and Karma. If used properly, even across hundreds of millions of miles, as long as there was a wisp of aura as a medium, he could take the enemy's head.

In the future, if he captured a few Great Ascension Stage or even Void Immortal Divine Souls to lock inside and sacrificed them at a critical moment, the power... tsk tsk.

Lu Yuan calmly suppressed the joy in his heart and turned to the Yaochi Holy Mother, saying, "The matter here is settled, we should head back. Regarding the Saintess, the Holy Mother likely needs to preside over the overall situation."

The Yaochi Holy Mother nodded. The two of them no longer lingered, turning into two streaks of light that tore through the void and instantly vanished from the spot... Yaochi Holy Land, Mind Nourishing Hall.

The atmosphere here was even more oppressive than before.

In the center of the hall, on a Cold Jade Bed carved from ten-thousand-year-old warm jade, lay a peerless beauty quietly.

Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were tightly closed. Although her features remained devastatingly beautiful, the aura she emitted was weak to the extreme, as if she might vanish with the wind at any moment.

It was the Yaochi Saintess, Luo Lianyi.

Lin Miaoyin was guarding the bedside, holding several Formation Flags that emitted a soft glow, carefully maintaining the operation of the Soul Nourishing Formation.

Seeing the Yaochi Holy Mother and Lu Yuan return, she hurriedly rose to salute, her expression grave.

"Holy Mother, Fellow Daoist Lu."

"How is Lianyi's condition?" The Yaochi Holy Mother walked quickly to the bedside. After investigating with her Divine Sense, her brow instantly furrowed.

Lin Miaoyin sighed and said in a heavy voice, "The situation is not optimistic. The Saintess's Primordial Spirit suffered heavy damage in the Void Immortal Realm, and was later sealed in the Jade Pendant by the Soul Clan's vicious Restriction for a long time. Being separated from the Physical Body for too long has caused her Primordial Spirit Foundation to be damaged."

"Although the Primordial Spirit has now returned to its place, the tearing injury has not healed. Instead, due to the rejection reaction of the Physical Body, she appears even weaker and has yet to regain consciousness."

Speaking to this point, Lin Miaoyin paused, her tone somewhat helpless. "To completely heal this kind of Primordial Spirit injury, ordinary soul-nourishing Spirit Medicines are already ineffective. Only by consuming a primordial spirit fruit can the Primordial Spirit be reshaped and the Origin mended, but..."

"But what?" the Yaochi Holy Mother asked.

"It's just that the last primordial spirit fruit on the nine marvels undying medicine was used up as early as a thousand years ago."

"Although new fruit has grown on that divine medicine now, its primordial spirit fruit is not yet fully mature."

"Even if the divine medicine has now returned to life, waiting for that fruit to ripen would take at least nearly a hundred years."

Lin Miaoyin looked at Luo Lianyi on the bed, her eyes full of pity. "But with the Saintess's current state, let alone a hundred years, she might not even last half a year."

A dead silence fell over the hall.

A hundred years is a lifetime for a Mortal, but for a Cultivator, it is but the blink of an eye.

But for Luo Lianyi at this moment, it was the distance between life and death.

The Yaochi Holy Mother's eyes flickered, clearly also pondering a solution.

There was more than one kind of divine medicine in the world that could heal Primordial Spirit Dao injuries besides the primordial spirit fruit, such as the 'Three Lives Creation Grass' or the 'Netherworld Equinox Flower,' but these divine items all grew in peerless peril zones or had long since gone extinct.

Trying to find them in a short time was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Just then, Lu Yuan, who had been silent, slowly spoke.

"If the Holy Mother can trust me, I might have a way to make that primordial spirit fruit ripen ahead of schedule."

The Yaochi Holy Mother turned around abruptly, an astonishing light bursting from her beautiful eyes. "Are Fellow Daoist Lu's words true? How long do you need? Ten years? Or five years?"

Lu Yuan spoke calmly, "Half a month."

"What?!"

Even a Great Ascension Stage Cultivator like Lin Miaoyin couldn't help but cry out in shock at this moment, "Half a month? Is Fellow Daoist Lu joking? That is the fruit of an undying divine medicine, containing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. How could it be ripened in such a short time?"

Although the Yaochi Holy Mother did not speak, the shock in her eyes was equally hard to conceal.

Lu Yuan's expression was indifferent. He did not heed Lin Miaoyin's doubt, but simply looked at the Holy Mother and said calmly, "I wonder if the Holy Mother could step aside for a private word?"

The Yaochi Holy Mother took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in her heart. "Follow me."

...Yaochi Forbidden Ground, inside a secret chamber enveloped by layers of grand formations.

Only Lu Yuan and the Yaochi Holy Mother sat facing each other.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this place has been isolated by my Void Immortal Law. Even the secrets of heaven cannot peer in."

"Just what methods do you have that can make the divine fruit ripen within half a month?" the Yaochi Holy Mother asked directly.

Lu Yuan did not beat around the bush and calmly uttered four words: "Nine Heavens Breath Soil."

Four simple words, yet they exploded like thunder within the secret chamber.

The Yaochi Holy Mother's pupils shrank sharply. Her usually calm Void Immortal state of mind now surged with stormy waves. "Nine Heavens Breath Soil?! That legendary creation object? A supreme treasure where just a single grain can transform into thousands of fertile lands and nurture Innate Spiritual Roots? This item has been extinct since the ancient era. Fellow Daoist Lu actually has it?"
