233: Luo Lianyi regained consciousness; the ancient peach tree!

Deep within the Primordial Holy Land, inside a hidden Immortal Cave.

Heavenly Secret Master's original body was in seclusion, but since his Divine Soul had left it, his Physical Body showed no reaction.

Instead, in the Void Immortal Realm, within the Tianji Pavilion, Heavenly Secret Master's Primordial Spirit felt his heart race wildly as an unprecedented sense of lethal crisis descended.

"Oh no! A Karma Killing Tribulation?!"

He was instantly struck with absolute terror.

"Pfft!"

The Void Realm split open, and an invisible blade glow appeared out of thin air, slashing directly down from the top of Heavenly Secret Master's head.

Without any resistance, his Physical Body instantly crumbled into a mist of blood under this strike, with not even a speck remaining.

"Ahhh—!!!"

A shrill scream echoed through the Primordial Holy Land.

After that strike destroyed the Physical Body, it did not dissipate. Instead, it continued along the lines of Karma, pursuing Heavenly Secret Master's Primordial Spirit into the Void Immortal Realm.

Void Immortal Realm, Tianji Pavilion.

Heavenly Secret Master's Primordial Spirit suddenly spat out a puff of illusory mist, his expression filled with horror.

"How is this possible?! My Physical Body... destroyed just like that?!"

Before he could recover, that Karma blade glow, though much weakened, had already slashed into the Void Immortal Realm.

"Boom!"

Although it was weakened layer by layer by the world rules and Formations of the Void Immortal Realm, this was, after all, a strike from sacrificing a Great Ascension Stage demon Soul, and its essence was still that of a Void Immortal Divine Soul.

"Bang!"

Heavenly Secret Master's Primordial Spirit was directly slashed in half. His originally dense Great Ascension Stage Soul Power instantly plummeted to the Body Integration Stage, becoming transparent and illusory, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"This... who is this?!"

Heavenly Secret Master was terrified and filled with confusion.

He had no idea who was attacking him, let alone how they could slay his Physical Body across endless time and space.

"Could it be some reclusive old monster? Or an enemy from the Void Immortal Realm?"

Heavenly Secret Master gnashed his teeth but dared not leave the Void Immortal Realm by even a single step.

A terrifying Karma Killing Tribulation awaited him outside; once he left, death was certain.

Ironically, in this Void Immortal Realm, there were world rules for protection; no matter how strong the opponent was, they wouldn't dare strike openly.

A few days later.

The Forbidden Ground in the back mountains of Azure Cloud Peak.

Under the hundredfold ripening of the Wheel of Time and the nourishment of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, the nine marvels undying medicine finally reached the moment of maturity.

A refreshing fragrance instantly filled the entire Forbidden Ground.

The scent was not strong, yet it seemed to penetrate directly into the depths of the Soul, making one feel refreshed as if all fatigue had been washed away.

On the branch of that divine medicine, a fist-sized fruit, shimmering purple all over, hung quietly.

On its skin were nine naturally formed lightning patterns, flickering with a mysterious purple halo, as if containing the profound truths of the Primordial Spirit Great Dao.

The primordial spirit fruit had ripened.

Lu Yuan did not hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, the primordial spirit fruit detached itself and flew into his palm.

Subsequently, he turned and walked into the stone house.

On the Cold Jade Bed, Luo Lianyi was still unconscious. Although her complexion had become much more ruddy, the sense of weakness from the depths of her Primordial Spirit had not dissipated.

"Open your mouth."

Lu Yuan said softly; although she couldn't hear him, he still subconsciously softened his movements.

He gently parted Luo Lianyi's red lips and transformed the primordial spirit fruit into a mass of purple medicinal liquid, feeding it into her mouth.

"Buzz!"

As the medicinal liquid entered her belly, it instantly transformed into a majestic yet gentle Primordial Spirit power, surging into Luo Lianyi's Sea of Consciousness.

The originally cracked and dim Primordial Spirit began to repair itself at a visible rate under the nourishment of this power.

Those spiderweb-like scars healed rapidly under the wash of the purple divine light, replaced by a crystal-clear texture like purple jade.

Half an hour later.

Luo Lianyi's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

They were a pair of eyes like autumn waters, clear and deep, though currently carrying a hint of confusion from just waking up.

When she clearly saw the scene before her and the man in snow-white robes sitting by the bed, a flash of bewilderment crossed her eyes.

Lu Yuan immediately explained the situation to her.

"Lu... Senior?"

Luo Lianyi struggled to sit up, only to find her body was still somewhat weak.

Lu Yuan reached out and pressed down slightly, a gentle force supporting her. "There's no need for formalities. Your Primordial Spirit has just recovered; you still need to rest."

Luo Lianyi leaned against the headboard, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude and complex emotions.

Although she had been unconscious, she wasn't entirely unaware in her subconscious; she knew it was the man before her who had saved her, not hesitating to use Heaven-Defying means like Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Law of Time.

"Thank you for saving my life, Senior," Luo Lianyi said softly. "If not for Senior, Lianyi would have probably already..."

"It was just a small matter," Lu Yuan smiled faintly, not taking credit. "I also did this at your Revered Master's request."

At this point, Luo Lianyi seemed to remember something. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a lingering fear flashed in her eyes.

"Senior, actually... my encounter with danger in the Void Immortal Realm wasn't entirely an accident."

Luo Lianyi hesitated for a moment but decided to tell the truth. "I encountered a fortuitous event in that South Heaven Gate Secret Realm.

That Secret Realm is suspected to be an ancient ruin modeled after the Ancient Heavenly Court of the Primordial Immortal Domain.

There, I saw a legendary ancient immortal peach tree."

"ancient immortal peach tree?" Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed.

"Indeed. It was an ancient tree that had long since withered, but I vaguely saw the phantom images of a Flat Peach Banquet around it."

Luo Lianyi's tone carried a hint of shock and yearning. "The scene was so realistic, as if it were a projection across time and space.

Countless Immortals were gathered, clinking glasses and drinking.

The aura emanating from every Immortal, even just a wisp, made me feel as if I were facing heavenly might, far surpassing that of my Revered Master's Void Immortal Realm.

With just a single glance, they seemed capable of destroying stars."

"Just as I was immersed in it, a giant finger that blotted out the sun descended from the sky like a divine chain containing the order of heaven and earth, directly leveling the entire South Heaven Gate."

"That destructive impact caused cracks to appear in my mind instantly, which gave that traitor the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

The ancient immortal peach tree, a divine object that could extend life by ten thousand years.

And that world-destroying finger... this South Heaven Gate Secret Realm seems to have a significant background.

"Quite interesting."

Lu Yuan stood up and looked at Luo Lianyi. "Since that place is so extraordinary, it would be a pity not to explore it.

Your body has just recovered; would you be willing to enter the Void Immortal Realm with me again to investigate?"

Luo Lianyi was taken aback, but then a flash of determination appeared in her eyes.

Get back up where you fell.

Besides, with this unfathomable Ancestor Qingyun leading the way, she what did she have to fear?

"Lianyi is willing to go!"

...Qingyun Dao Sect, secret room.

To be safe, Lu Yuan once again laid down layers of Restrictions.

Subsequently, the two sat cross-legged facing each other, each taking out a void immortal token.

"Enter the realm."

Two beams of Primordial Spirit radiance soared into the sky, instantly vanishing into the Void Realm.
