187: Even the Empress couldn't save him! He was only sixteen! How could he possibly perish like this?!

"Am I not fine now?"

"Even if something really happened, I could find a solution. There's no need to worry so much."

Shen Tianxing patted her head.

Shi Linglong was truly worried that he would die. After interacting with her for over a month, though the time wasn't long, Shen Tianxing understood this girl's personality too well.

Shi Linglong slapped his hand away, her eyes filled with worry.

Although she didn't say anything more, she was already thinking about how to save Shen Tianxing.

"Lord Shen, our Eleven Sects of the Righteous Path have some precious ancient texts. Perhaps we can find a way to break the spell."

"Also, some of the rare medicinal herbs within our Sects have unique effects. We can go back and retrieve them immediately."

At this moment, Lu Hongmian, who had been standing behind, walked up with the experts from the Eleven Sects of the Righteous Path.

"That's right, all of our Eleven Righteous Path Sects will give our full support!"

The Heavenly Saber Sect Elder spoke, and others also chimed in.

"Big Brother Shen..."

Xu Muyan suddenly ran out from the crowd, followed by Xu Muqing, who hadn't managed to stop her in time.

Xu Muyan's eyes were slightly red. She grabbed Shen Tianxing's arm, her rosy lips tightly pursed. Although she said nothing, the worry in her eyes was completely undisguised.

Her memory had not yet recovered. In her eyes, Shen Tianxing had treated her injuries and guided her to Cultivate Divine Soul Cultivation Technique with his Divine Soul power. The two of them had the most intimate relationship.

She also saw that Shen Tianxing was in big trouble and was very worried, so she ran over.

Xu Muqing stood to the side, her eyes also slightly red, but she didn't speak.

In front of so many people and her Sect Elders, she couldn't be as natural as Xu Muyan.

"Your Majesty, is there a way to break Lord Shen's curse?"

Ye Qingyu stepped out from the crowd and asked worriedly.

Her relationship with Shen Tianxing was now known to all. For Shen Tianxing's safety, asking the Empress for a way to break the spell, even if presumptuous, was not overstepping.

The Three Divisions Experts, as well as the Fourteenth Imperial Uncle and Marshal, these older generation ministers, obviously understood Shen Tianxing's current situation, and their eyes were filled with deep worry.

Shen Tianxing was the future of Great Qi!

This great battle, without his strategic planning, would never have been resolved so easily.

If Shen Tianxing truly died because of that curse, it would undoubtedly be an unbearable loss for Great Qi.

"Your Majesty, is there a way to treat Lord Shen's injuries?"

"No matter what is needed, we can all work together to find a solution!"

The Fourteenth Imperial Uncle said in a deep voice.

He thought highly of Shen Tianxing and naturally didn't want anything to happen to him.

Now, everyone's eyes turned to the Empress, hoping to get an answer from her.

If even the Empress had no solution, then it would truly be troublesome.

The Empress's Dharma Form stood in the sky, and a golden light fell from her hand, enveloping Shen Tianxing.

That was Imperial Dao Dragon Qi. She bore the Luck of Great Qi, and with her Realm, there were few things she couldn't resolve.

A glimmer of hope appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Alas..."

A moment later, the Empress let out a sigh.

Hearing this sigh, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom!

"The Blood Soul Demonic Seal is one of the forbidden techniques of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, incredibly profound. Moreover, Mo Li cast this forbidden technique using his Divine Soul, vital blood, and his entire Cultivation. The cost is so great that it can be said to be everything a Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm possesses."

"Now, this Blood Soul Demonic Seal has already merged into your vital blood, flesh, and Divine Soul!"

"Even if I were to forcefully intervene, you would still be hard-pressed to escape death!"

"This Blood Soul Demonic Seal... I cannot undo it either!"

It's over!

Everyone's hearts trembled.

Even the Empress can't solve it?

Then Shen Tianxing is really doomed!?

Shen Tianxing looked at everyone's reddened eyes, took a deep breath, and asked, "Then how many days do I have left to live?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the Empress!

Yan Yuzhu's beautiful eyes gazed at Shen Tianxing, her gaze shifting, full of complex emotions.

"This Blood Soul Demonic Seal is devouring your Cultivation and your life force every moment..."

"With your current strength, you have ten days left!"

Her voice was very soft!

Yan Yuzhu held Shen Tianxing in very high regard.

Shen Tianxing had not disappointed her expectations!

Today was her first meeting with Shen Tianxing, but she never expected to witness his life entering a countdown.

Even though she had long been accustomed to observing everything with a cold gaze, at this moment, she felt a heavy weight in her heart.

Emotions she hadn't felt in many years, and a hint of sadness, emerged.

At this moment, it wasn't just her!

The others, upon hearing Yan Yuzhu's words, also had reddened eyes.

Ten days!

Only ten days left?

Shi Linglong stomped her feet in a frenzy, Ye Qingyu, Xu Muqing, and Xu Muyan covered their mouths, tears streaming uncontrollably from their eyes, and Xing Yao stared blankly at Shen Tianxing, seemingly unable to react.

Xie Tianjian, the Fourteenth Imperial Uncle, and others, their faces were terribly grim.

They hated it!

If their strength had been greater, if they had been more vigilant, Mo Li's Blood Soul Demonic Seal wouldn't have been cast, and Shen Tianxing wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament.

He was only sixteen years old!

Such a Prodigy, his unparalleled brilliance had not yet spread throughout the entire Northern Wilderness, he had not yet seen a higher and broader world, he had not yet written his own magnificent life story... yet he was about to fall like this?

Thinking of this, the look in their eyes towards Shen Tianxing revealed an even greater, unconcealable grief!

Shen Tianxing was also startled by this result!

No way?

Could it be that he was destined for a short life?

He shook his head, casting aside the wild thoughts in his mind, took a step forward, looked at Yan Yuzhu, and asked, "Your Majesty, although this Blood Soul Demonic Seal is a forbidden technique of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, there should be a way to resolve it, right?"

Yan Yuzhu gently exhaled, suppressing the vexation in her heart, and lightly nodded her head, "Although this Blood Soul Demonic Seal is a forbidden technique, resolving it is actually easy!"

"As long as your Cultivation Realm can surpass Mo Li's, you can suppress and refine this Blood Soul Demonic Seal."

"You can even absorb Mo Li's entire Cultivation, Divine Soul, and vital blood, transforming them into nourishment for your own Cultivation."

Surpass Mo Li's Cultivation?

Is this not a joke?

Mo Li was a Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm!

And Shen Tianxing is currently only at the Sixth Level of the Divine Profound Realm!

Moreover, he only has ten days left.

With what can he surpass him?

With his life?

Clearly, everyone also knew this was impossible, so upon hearing Yan Yuzhu's words, the sorrow on their faces did not diminish in the slightest.

"There's another method, though I don't know if it will work!"

"Although this Blood Soul Demonic Seal is a forbidden technique of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, Mo Li's Cultivation is only at the Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm. If we were to baptize you with the Dragon Qi of our Great Qi Dragon Vein and the Luck of Great Qi, perhaps it could contend with it, winning you a glimmer of hope!"

Shen Tianxing was the future of Great Qi, and the Empress was not stingy with him at all.

The Great Qi Dragon Vein contained powerful Imperial Dao Dragon Qi, coupled with the Luck of Great Qi, this really was a method.

However, to consume the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi and Luck of Great Qi for him alone, the cost would be too great!

But everyone present, whether it was the Fourteenth Imperial Uncle, Xie Tianjian, Situ Kuanglei, or even Xuanyuan Longcheng and others, had no objection at all at this moment.

Although the cost was great, if it could save Shen Tianxing, it would be worth it!

"No!!!"

But at that moment, Shi Linglong suddenly spoke out.

Everyone looked over.

Shi Linglong's charming and beautiful face, usually lively, was now filled with seriousness. She looked at Yan Yuzhu, "Empress of Great Qi, you are willing to bear such a great cost to save Shen Tianxing, which repays Shen Tianxing's contributions to your Great Qi during this time."

"However, you yourself just said that you are not sure if this method will work. Shen Tianxing only has ten days left. What if this method doesn't work?"

"Then wouldn't he just be waiting for death?"

Yan Yuzhu's usually cold and domineering eyes now showed a hint of hesitation.

Shi Linglong was very blunt, but what she said was the truth!

What if this method didn't work?

Thinking of that outcome, Yan Yuzhu fell silent.

Liu Xianyun's expression was complex. She couldn't help but tilt her head back and take a big gulp of wine, but the fine wine that she usually enjoyed so much now tasted bitter in her mouth.

She bore an inescapable responsibility for Shen Tianxing being afflicted with this Blood Soul Demonic Seal!

"Shen Tianxing, come with me. I'll take you back to Dianxing Academy and ask my grandfather to help you!"

Shi Linglong went all out.

She had never spoken of her identity, so outsiders naturally didn't know.

Shen Tianxing, however, knew that her position in Dianxing Academy must not be low.

Now, hearing this, he felt even more that this girl was reliable, and it wasn't in vain that he had passed on the Divine Ability, the One Qi Incarnation Technique, to her.

"Big Brother Shen, I'll think of a way with you. We will definitely find a solution!"

Xu Muyan, with a choked voice, threw herself into Shen Tianxing's arms.

"Big Brother Shen, I..."

Xu Muqing felt extremely distressed in her heart. She had not yet confessed her feelings to Shen Tianxing, so how could she watch him have only ten days left of his life?

This blow was too great for her.

No matter what, Xu Muqing decided that she would stay by Shen Tianxing's side.

Tears streamed from Ye Qingyu's eyes. This cold and valiant young woman could no longer maintain her aloof exterior.

She walked to Shen Tianxing's side, held his hand, and said, "No matter where you go, I will accompany you. We will definitely find a way!"

Xing Yao's eyes gleamed, slightly blurred.

For the first time, she panicked.

This was a feeling she had never experienced since leaving the Sect.

For the first time, she panicked for a man!

After a long while!

Amidst the sorrowful atmosphere, Shen Tianxing gently released Xu Muyan and Ye Qingyu from his embrace.

He looked up at the Empress and said seriously, "Your Majesty's kindness, Shen Tianxing appreciates it."

"Linglong is right. Baptism with the Imperial Dynasty's Dragon Vein and Luck might resolve it, but it's only a possibility!"

"From a public perspective, the Dragon Vein and Luck are the foundation of our Great Qi Imperial Dynasty. Even as the Grand Minister of Justice of the court, I would not agree to the Imperial Dynasty paying such a huge price and pouring it all onto one person!"

"What's more, this is just a gamble whose outcome no one knows!"

"From a private perspective, I only have ten days. I also wouldn't dare to stake my life on such a gamble with an unpredictable outcome."

His words were very direct!

But they were the plain truth.

After all, one only has one life; who would joke with their own life?

Everyone understood Shen Tianxing's meaning and did not try to persuade him, as this matter could only be decided by Shen Tianxing himself.

The same went for Yan Yuzhu.

She understood Shen Tianxing!

Shi Linglong, however, looked relieved.

"Shen Tianxing, without further ado, let's hit the road quickly. Once we reach Dianxing Academy, I'll find my grandfather to help you resolve this damned Blood Soul Demonic Seal!"

However, Shen Tianxing shook his head.

"Sorry, Linglong, I'm not going to Dianxing Academy either!"

"Then you..."

Shi Linglong immediately grew anxious.

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Tianxing interrupted her.

"I want to refine this Blood Soul Demonic Seal!"

Shen Tianxing would not place his life in someone else's hands.

As long as his Cultivation Realm surpassed Mo Li's, he could resolve this Blood Soul Demonic Seal. Then Shen Tianxing would simply raise his Cultivation.

He is currently at the Sixth Level of the Divine Profound Realm and can only last ten days.

What if he advanced to the Soul Palace Realm?

Would the duration he could last be extended by a lot?

Shen Tianxing had a fairly good understanding of this Blood Soul Demonic Seal.

To put it simply, a person afflicted by this Blood Soul Demonic Seal is like a wooden bucket full of water with a hole drilled in the bottom. Without external intervention, it's only a matter of time before the water in the bucket leaks out completely.

But if at this time, water is continuously poured into the bucket, the time it takes for the water to leak out will naturally be extended significantly.

What if the speed of adding water to the bucket is much faster than the speed of it leaking?

Then, even if the bucket is leaking, the water in it will never run out.

At that point, the hole at the bottom of the bucket can be slowly repaired.

This was Shen Tianxing's plan!

For others, Cultivating and improving is incredibly difficult.

He Cultivates and improves by relying on experience points!

As long as he kills enough, and fast enough, this Blood Soul Demonic Seal will pose no threat whatsoever!
