152: Reunion of Immortal Souls

Before the Ruoshui Immortal Palace, there was a dead silence.

The residual power that had obliterated the physical bodies and Souls of the Taiqing Academy crowd had not yet fully dissipated, and a faint aura of destruction still lingered in the air.

Everyone's gaze was focused on that figure dressed in clothes as white as snow.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Fairy Li Meng and Ziyun were both incredibly excited.

But... Lin Chen just stood there quietly, not moving for a long time.

“...Senior?”

“Uh...”

The corner of Lin Chen's mouth twitched imperceptibly, revealing a very faint hint of embarrassment.

The System task should have been completed, so why hadn't the reward arrived yet?

Without that soul nurturing immortal marrow pill, how was he supposed to save Fairy Li Meng?

He had already talked a big game!

Lin Chen's thoughts raced as he secretly wondered—

【Ding! Congratulations Host, the Wending Sect Disciples have completed the “Ruoshui Secret Realm” ultimate trial. Both their state of mind and strength have reached a Breakthrough! The Sect Trial task has been completed!】

【Task rewards have been distributed to the System space. Please check them, Host!】

【Ding! Detected that the Host has successfully recruited the Ruoshui True Immortal. The hidden task “Subdue the Ruoshui True Immortal” has been completed!】

【Task rewards have been distributed to the System space. Please check them, Host!】

A series of crisp System notification tones rang out in his mind. Lin Chen's heart instantly relaxed, and his Divine Sense immediately sank into the System space.

He saw light flickering within the space, where several treasures with extraordinary auras had appeared.

【purple gold summoning card ×1: Can summon a True Immortal Realm powerhouse at most】

【Ascension Platform ×1: Every step is a transformation, every step is an Opportunity. Those who reach the top can receive an Immortal Dao blessing. It is a supreme land for training Disciples and breaking through Bottlenecks】

【Aura Halo ×1: An invisible and intangible halo that can simulate the pressure of any person's Realm seen, and perfectly hide the Host's own true cultivation aura】

【Heavenly Immortal Realm Permanent Promotion Card ×1: After use, it can permanently raise the Host's cultivation to the Heavenly Immortal Realm】

【nine dragon agarwood carriage ×1: A magnificent carriage for an Immortal Emperor's travels, surrounded by the phantom images of nine divine dragons, wreathed in Immortal Qi. It possesses supreme speed and defense; a place like the previous Ruoshui River can be easily crossed by this carriage!】

【soul nurturing immortal marrow pill ×5: Five longan-sized, completely translucent Medicinal Pills emitting a warm Soul-light! They can nourish, stabilize, and repair damaged immortal Souls, having a miraculous effect on remnant soul states!】

...“Ah this, this, this...”

Even though Lin Chen had seen the world, he was shocked into speechlessness.

This was the first time he had completed a System task after coming to Lingxuan Heaven, and the rewards obtained far exceeded those back in the Cangxuan Realm.

Every single one was a peerless treasure!

If news of even one of them leaked out, it would be enough to set off a bloodbath in the Lower Heaven!

“I'm rich, I'm rich!”

Lin Chen shouted inwardly.

After a long time, he finally gradually recovered his calm from the wild joy.

“soul nurturing immortal marrow pills! And five of them!”

His gaze turned once more to that flickering remnant soul in the air. His face regained its usual composure and majesty, and he said loudly: “Fairy Li Meng, since you are willing to enter my Wending Sect and serve this seat as your master, this seat shall naturally keep his promise and grant you a... Rebirth transformation!”

Before his voice had even faded, Lin Chen flicked his finger!

“Swish—!”

A soul nurturing immortal marrow pill turned into a warm stream of light, shooting with incomparable precision toward Fairy Li Meng's remnant soul.

The pill did not collide directly. Instead, at the moment it approached the remnant soul, it burst apart, turning into a sky full of crystal-clear green light-rain. Every drop of light-rain contained boundless vitality and the most primal Soul-nourishing power, completely enveloping Fairy Li Meng's extremely illusory remnant soul like sweet dew!

“Buzz—!”

As the green light entered the Soul, a sudden change occurred!

The originally dim and flickering remnant soul, like withered wood meeting sweet rain after a long drought, became solid and brilliant at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The dissipating Soul-light was forcibly gathered, the cracks were rapidly repaired, and a vast and pure True Immortal-level Soul Power fluctuation began to revive and grow from the core of the remnant soul!

“This... what kind of Divine Pill is this?!”

Fairy Li Meng's remnant soul let out an exclamation of disbelief. She felt a nourishing power that surpassed her understanding, originating from the very source of life, which was reshaping her Soul Foundation!

This effect was a hundred times, a thousand times more powerful than any Heaven And Earth Treasure for nourishing a Soul body that she had ever imagined!

The green light continued to pour in, and Li Meng's Soul body became more and more solid.

It even began to manifest clear facial features and the outlines of her robes. An aura of majesty belonging to the True Immortal Realm, though still weak, truly began to permeate the air, causing all the Prodigies below to feel a tremor and awe in the depths of their Souls!

“Lord!”

Ziyun wept with joy, kneeling on the ground, trembling all over with excitement.

Lin Chen stood with his hands behind his back, watching Li Meng reshape her Soul body in the green light, feeling satisfied in his heart: “System products are indeed extraordinary. This soul nurturing immortal marrow pill has Heaven-Defying effects; just one has such divine results... I still have four left, I'll save them for now, they might be of great use later!”

After just a few moments, the green light gradually receded.

The remnant soul that was like a candle in the wind had vanished, replaced by a blue-clad Fairy with a solid Soul body, peerless elegance, and the Law of the Heavenly Cold Immortal Dao flowing around her!

Even her Physical Body had been completely restored!

Her Soul body was stable, her intelligence clear, and her True Immortal immortal position had been recast!

Fairy Li Meng slowly opened her eyes, which were filled with the shock of being reborn and endless gratitude.

“I didn't expect that I could actually come back to life... Not only have I recovered to my state when I was alive, but there is even unabsorbed Dao power in my body!”

“This, this, this... what kind of power is this!”

“Just what kind of heaven-reaching cultivation does this Senior have!”

Even though she had now recovered to the True Immortal Realm, she still could not see through Lin Chen's cultivation.

This left her incredibly shocked.

After a long while.

She drifted down and performed a very solemn, deep bow toward Lin Chen: “Li Meng thanks the Sect Master for the grace of reconstruction! From now on, in life I am a person of the Wending Sect, and in death I am a Soul of the Wending Sect. I am at the Sect Master's disposal, and will not hesitate even if it means ten thousand deaths!”

Her voice was clear and carried a devotion that came from her Soul.

Lin Chen swept her with his Cave Heaven True Eye, and Fairy Li Meng's information appeared.

【Name: Jiang Limeng】

【Realm: True Immortal Late Stage】

【Talent: Heavenly Cold Immortal Body】

【Identity: Ruoshui True Immortal, Sect Master of the Ruoshui Sect twenty million years ago】

【Background: Twenty million years ago, a great war broke out between the Qinggu Heaven Domain and the Ziling Heavenly Domain. To protect the Qinggu Heaven Domain, Fairy Li Meng died in battle...】

“Jiang Limeng, that's a decent name.”

Lin Chen gave a faint smile and asked: “Who was it that inflicted this fatal Dao wound on you when you were alive?”

Fairy Li Meng bowed slightly and replied respectfully: “Reporting to the Sect Master, the one who wounded this Junior was a True Immortal Elder from the Ziling Heavenly Domain's overlord Sect, the Profound Demon Sect. He is called Bone-Eroding Demon Venerable, and the Cultivation Technique he practices is incredibly vicious, containing a bizarre demonic power that corrodes the Origin of the Dao.”

“I was ambushed by him back then, which damaged my Foundation, and ultimately I had no choice but to perish.”

“Profound Demon Sect?”

Lin Chen's gaze moved slightly; this was the first time he had heard the name of this Heavenly Domain: “How much do you know about this Ziling Heavenly Domain? What is the layout of its power?”
