644: Chapter 644 Heading to Xuanyuan

"She raised her head and looked at the Chaos Bell."

"The bell was undamaged."

"But it had not blocked it."

"She had never seen an attack capable of piercing through the Chaos Bell."

"Not a single one."

"Today, there was."

"If she had not already Cultivated the 'Undying True Body', she would have truly been killed by you just now."

"After a Mahayana Cultivator passes the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, they step over the threshold of the 'Dao'. Their Physical Body is no longer mere flesh and blood, but a 'Dao Body'—an existence capable of bearing the Power of the Great Dao."

"For ordinary Cultivators, if their Physical Body and Primordial Spirit are severed, it means death and the dissipation of their Dao."

"But Mahayana Cultivators are different."

"As long as they have Cultivated the 'Undying True Body' and their Dao Source remains unextinguished, the Dao Body can be reshaped."

"This level is far higher than the Integration Stage Cultivator's Rebirth from a Drop of Blood."

"Liu Xuerong was severed into two halves, yet she did not bleed, nor did she scream."

"Because those two halves of her body were not 'flesh and blood' themselves, but 'vessels of the Dao'."

"Between her upper and lower body, there was a connection of 'Dao' in the ethereal realm."

"It was not a connection in space, nor a connection in time, but a connection in 'existence'—they were originally one, and had never been separated."

"Therefore, when the upper body drifted toward the lower body, when the severed parts met, and when golden light flashed—it was not healing."

"It was 'becoming one'."

"It was just like a cup of water being divided into two, then poured back together to become one cup of water again."

"This is the terrifying aspect of Mahayana Cultivators—they are not 'hard to die', but 'hard to be completely killed'."

"Unless your attack can sever her 'Dao Source' itself."

"Otherwise, she can quickly reunite."

"It is just like an ordinary Mortal who has been cut by a knife; the wound will eventually heal on its own."

"It is just a pity—your strength is currently insufficient; you possess less than one ten-thousandth of the power needed to wield the immortal sword."

"But to be able to heavily injure her is already mind-boggling."

"She looked at you, a complex mixture of emotions in her heart."

"You did not speak, gripping that ancient sword, knowing clearly in your heart—you could not borrow the power for a second strike."

"Sure enough, the humming of the sword body weakened, it slipped from your hand, then dived into the Void Realm and vanished."

"You felt your strength being drained away, your legs going weak, your hands trembling, and your vision blurring."

"But you hovered in the sky, not falling."

"After this exchange, you had finally figured out her depth."

"I have to say, the strength of Liu Xuerong's true form is truly awesome."

"Liu Xuerong finally spoke, her voice somewhat weak, but every word was clear."

"'Three moves, they have passed. I will no longer pursue the matter of the Heavenly Palace.'"

"Having said that, she raised her hand and put away the Chaos Bell."

"The bell shrank, turning into a ray of mysterious yellow light that submerged into her palm."

"She turned around, took a step, and appeared on the spirit boat."

"Liu Tianxing walked forward, his face gloomy. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Xuerong raising her hand: 'Let's go back first!'"

"Her voice was very weak, carrying an indescribable weariness."

"Liu Tianxing trembled all over and hurriedly helped her into the pavilion of the spirit boat, then drove the spirit boat into the array."

"A beam of light flashed, and the spirit boat vanished."

"After watching them leave, your figure flashed as you landed back on the plaza. Because your legs were weak and your whole body was powerless, you nearly fell."

"Qin Yu rushed over and held you up."

"'Are you okay...'"

"Her hands were trembling."

"'I'm fine.' You smiled, your voice feeble, your face pale."

"You felt the power in your body almost exhausted, even breathing was difficult, like an ordinary Mortal who had been hungry for three days and three nights."

"You hurriedly spread your palm, and more than a dozen Heaven And Earth Treasures floated in your palm—demon kings inner core, immortal medicine, divine wood spirit peach, five elements lingzhi, great void illusion grass, azure sky marvel fruit, and so on."

"These Heaven And Earth Treasures slowly withered in your palm, turning into powder and dissipating as their energy was refined into your body."

"After refining, your face finally regained a hint of ruddiness, and your mind cleared up a bit."

"Qin Han hopped over, tugging at your hem, his voice tearful: 'Daddy, you are bleeding.'"

"You glanced at your robe; it was covered in blood."

"When you were wielding the immortal sword, you felt your body being hollowed out."

"That feeling, you really did not want to experience a second time."

"Venerable Cang Xuan looked at you and nodded: 'Since you are unharmed, little friend, then this old man should also take his leave.'"

"You cupped your hands: 'Thank you, Senior.'"

"Venerable Cang Xuan nodded and looked at Qin Yu: 'Do you want to come with me?'"

"Qin Yu looked at you, and seeing you nod, she took her leave with Venerable Cang Xuan and Yun Xiaozi."

"You watched the three of them leave, took a deep breath, and turned to Xuanyuan Ziyan: 'Let's go.'"

"She looked at you, her eyes complex—as if she were meeting you for the first time, yet also as if she had never seen you before."

"After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke: 'Forget it, you go. The matter of the bet, let it end here.'"

"'What? You don't want me to be your prisoner anymore?' You teased with a smile."

"'With a figure like you, how would I dare to make you a prisoner of our Xuanyuan Immortal Clan?' Xuanyuan Ziyan rolled her eyes at you, 'I just hope you don't turn our Xuanyuan Immortal Clan upside down.'"

"You smiled: 'I just offended the Heavenly Palace, and now I come to offend your Xuanyuan Immortal Clan; wouldn't I be courting death?'"

"Xuanyuan Yao, who was behind her, walked up to you and looked at you with a complex expression: 'Hey, I ask you, when we were at the Heavenly Palace, did you hit me on purpose?'"

"You smiled and nodded: 'Sorry, at that time it was indeed to provoke you into dealing with the Heavenly Palace. For this matter, I must apologize to you.'"

"Xuanyuan Yao pursed her lips, her eyes instantly reddened, and she waved her hand: 'Forget it, anyway, I also don't like the Heavenly Palace's style of doing things. However, the fact that you used me cannot just be let go like this.'"

"'Fine, consider that I owe you a favor,' you said with a smile."

"'That's more like it.' Xuanyuan Yao also smiled."

"Qin Han suddenly transformed into his true form, swooshing onto your shoulder, and rubbed his little head against your neck: 'Daddy, this is more comfortable.'"

"The others saw this scene and were stunned again."

"Xuanyuan Yao opened her mouth wide, pointing at the fist-sized Qin Han, exclaiming: 'He... he... it...'"

"Xuanyuan Ziyan seemed to have expected it long ago, but her tone still carried a hint of disbelief: 'I didn't expect its true form to be so small.'"

"You did not respond, speaking directly: 'Let's go, this place is not suitable for a long stay.'"

"'Where to?' Xuanyuan Ziyan looked at you."

"'To your Xuanyuan Immortal Clan.'"

"'What are you planning?'"

"'I won't hide it from you, I want your Xuanyuan Immortal Clan's Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.'"

"'Just this?'"

"'Just this.'"

"Xuanyuan Ziyan stared at you for a moment, and finally nodded."

"Immediately, you followed them to board the Teleportation Array, leaving Sanyuan Star and heading to the Xuanyuan Immortal Clan."
