719: Chapter 719 Lu Xueqi and Biyao (98)

Ye Lingxiao laughed. "Fairy Yuehua, you think too highly of me. I'm just a Golden Core Sword Cultivator; how would I know about that? However..."

"However what?"

"There was a record in my Sect's ancient texts about a Senior in ancient times who was afflicted by a strange poison. His cultivation was completely ruined, but he found a blessing in disguise. He obtained a great Opportunity in the God-Burying Abyss, which not only neutralized the poison but also allowed him to cultivate a special Physique, eventually leading to his Ascension to the Upper Realm." Ye Lingxiao said slowly, "Though it wasn't explicitly stated, based on the description, that special Physique sounds very much like the legendary 'Chaos Dao Body'."

Fairy Yuehua's heart stirred. "God-Burying Abyss... chaos green lotus?"

"You know of it?" Ye Lingxiao was somewhat surprised.

"I just saw it in an ancient text. But the God-Burying Abyss is a forbidden zone for life; even those at the Soul Transformation stage would find it hard to survive entering it."

"That's why it's called a dead land," Ye Lingxiao said. "However, according to that Senior's notes, while there is immense danger in the God-Burying Abyss, it's not entirely without a chance of survival. The key is to find a 'safe path'."

"A safe path?"

"Yes, the notes mentioned that the grey mist in the God-Burying Abyss changes over time. At certain specific moments, the mist in some areas will temporarily thin out, forming a relatively safe passage. That Senior was fortunate enough to encounter a period of thin grey mist, which allowed him to go deep inside."

Fairy Yuehua noted this information. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Speaking of which, I still owe Su Han a favor." Ye Lingxiao smiled. "That battle gave me some insights, and the Bottleneck in my sword dao has loosened. If you really intend to go to the God-Burying Abyss and need help, you can call on me. Although my cultivation is lower than yours, having another person means having someone to watch your back."

Fairy Yuehua remained silent for a moment. "No need, this is a matter for my Qingyun Sect."

"As you wish. But a word of warning: the dangers of the God-Burying Abyss are far beyond imagination. That Senior wrote eight words at the end of his notes: 'Nine deaths, one life; ten deaths, no life.' It means that entering is a near-certain death, but if one covets the opportunities within and refuses to leave, then death is absolute."

"I understand."

Ending the transmission, Fairy Yuehua put away the jade talisman and turned her gaze back to Su Han inside the light cocoon.

"God-Burying Abyss, chaos green lotus..." she whispered to herself. "Junior Brother, wait for me."

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

During these two months, undercurrents surged in the Eastern Region's cultivation world. The date of the Demon Slaying Assembly was drawing closer, and all Sects were making preparations. Within the Qingyun Sect, the discussions regarding Su Han gradually subsided; most people accepted the explanation that he was "slain after falling into demonhood," while only a few still harbored doubts.

In the stone hall of Bright Moon Peak, Fairy Yuehua had not left for a single step during these two months, guarding Su Han day and night while simultaneously preparing for the journey to the God-Burying Abyss.

She consulted all of the Qingyun Sect's records regarding the God-Burying Abyss and, through secret channels, purchased fragments of information from several Loose Cultivators who had explored the abyss's edges. Combining these with the clues provided by Ye Lingxiao, she roughly outlined a possible "safe path."

But this was not enough. The God-Burying Abyss was too vast and had too many variables; she needed more precise information.

On this day, while Fairy Yuehua was deducing the path, she suddenly felt something unusual from the light cocoon. She immediately went to the jade platform and saw Su Han's eyelids twitching slightly inside the cocoon; he seemed about to wake up.

Fairy Yuehua's heart tightened. Over these two months, Su Han would occasionally wake up, but each time he was quickly controlled by the Demon Seed and fell into a frenzy. She had to strengthen the Seal time and again, consuming a large amount of her cultivation.

But this time, it seemed somewhat different.

Su Han slowly opened his eyes; there was no purple tint in them, only deep exhaustion and confusion.

"Senior Sister..." his voice was raspy.

"You're awake." Fairy Yuehua tried her best to keep her tone calm. "How do you feel?"

Su Han tried to move, only to find his body bound by moonlight, unable to budge. He gave a bitter smile. "Still the same. Senior Sister, I... I lost control again, didn't I?"

Fairy Yuehua did not answer but instead asked, "How much do you remember?"

Su Han closed his eyes, trying hard to recall. "I... I remember the Grand Competition, fighting Qin Mu, and then... then the Demon Seed erupted, and I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I was here."

"During this period, you woke up multiple times, but you were always controlled by the Demon Seed." Fairy Yuehua briefly explained the situation over the past two months.

After listening, Su Han was silent for a long time. "Senior Sister, kill me."

Fairy Yuehua's body trembled.

"The chaos demon seed has no cure. I can feel it getting stronger every day; your Seal is becoming more and more strained." Su Han opened his eyes and looked at Fairy Yuehua, his eyes filled with deep pain. "I don't want to one day completely lose my mind and hurt you, or hurt the Sect."

"There is a way," Fairy Yuehua said.

Su Han was stunned.

"God-Burying Abyss, chaos green lotus," Fairy Yuehua said slowly. "By using the seed of the chaos green lotus to reshape your Foundation, the Demon Seed can be reversed, and you can achieve the Chaos Dao Body."

Su Han's pupils constricted. "God-Burying Abyss? That's a dead land! Senior Sister, you can't go!"

"I must go." Fairy Yuehua's tone brooked no argument. "This is my responsibility as your Senior Sister."

"But..."

"No buts." Fairy Yuehua interrupted him. "Su Han, listen to me. For the next three months, I will head to the God-Burying Abyss to search for the chaos green lotus. During this time, Sect Master Yun Lan will watch over you. You must hold onto your original heart; you absolutely cannot let the Demon Seed completely control you. Wait for my return, do you understand?"

Looking at Fairy Yuehua's determined eyes, Su Han knew he couldn't dissuade her. He knew this Senior Sister too well; she appeared cold on the outside, but she was more stubborn than anyone on the inside.

"I'll... try my best," he whispered.

"Not try your best, you must." Fairy Yuehua said word by word. "If you fall into demonhood, I will kill you with my own hands. But before that, I will use every means possible to save you. So, until I return, you are not allowed to give up, understand?"

Su Han's nose felt sharp, and he nodded heavily. "I understand."

"Very well." Fairy Yuehua's expression softened slightly. "Before I set out, I will reinforce the Seal once more. During these three months, keep your mind tranquil and try to resist the Demon Seed. Remember, the stronger your will, the harder it is for the Demon Seed to control you."

"Yes."

Fairy Yuehua said no more and began preparing to reinforce the Seal. This time, she did not hesitate to sacrifice ten years of her cultivation to add three more layers on top of the original nine-layered Seal.

By the time the final layer of the Seal was completed, Fairy Yuehua's face was as pale as paper, and her aura had weakened considerably.

"Senior Sister..." Su Han said, pained.

"It's fine, cultivation can be regained." Fairy Yuehua wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and took a deep look at Su Han. "Wait for my return."

With that, she turned and walked out of the stone hall.

Outside the hall, Immortal Master Sect Master Yun Lan had already been waiting for a long time.

"Junior Martial Uncle, everything is prepared." Immortal Master Sect Master Yun Lan handed over a Storage Pouch. "Inside are healing Medicinal Pills, defensive Magic Treasures, and three Ten-Thousand-Mile Transmission Talismans. If you encounter danger, send a message immediately, and I will lead people to support you."

Fairy Yuehua took it and nodded. "I leave Su Han to you. Remember, if he completely falls into demonhood, kill him without mercy."

Immortal Master Sect Master Yun Lan said solemnly, "This Disciple understands."

Fairy Yuehua said no more, transforming into a streak of moonlight that soared into the sky, vanishing into the horizon in an instant.

Immortal Master Sect Master Yun Lan watched her depart, then turned and entered the stone hall, looking at Su Han in the light cocoon and letting out a long sigh.

"Martial Nephew Su, you must hold on."(End of Chapter)
