165: A divine eye? A blind man? (Fifty)

You Chen felt himself enveloped by a soft but irresistible force.

He wanted to struggle.

Every bone in his body felt as if it had been crushed.

His Meridians were shattered, his spiritual energy exhausted, and even his Divine Soul was wailing in pain.

This was the most severe injury he had ever sustained since embarking on the path of cultivation.

But he couldn't care about any of that.

He could only watch helplessly as he drifted further and further away from that chaotic battlefield.

Further and further from those three terrifying True God Realm Old Ancestors.

And further and further from Jun Yun.

“Big Brother Jun...”

His consciousness began to blur, with only this one thought remaining in his heart.

No.

Absolutely not.

Big Brother Jun is still there.

He is alone, being besieged by three True God Realm powerhouses.

I can't leave.

An intense obsession burned like a fire deep within his Divine Soul.

This obsession forcibly ignited the last sliver of potential within his body.

The Azure Luan Origin, dormant in the deepest part of his Bloodline and connected to his Divine Soul, was boldly stirred by this unyielding will.

Buzz!

A burst of pure azure divine light suddenly erupted from his body.

This power, carrying determination and violence, slammed hard against the soft force enveloping him.

He wanted to break free from the restraint.

He wanted to go back.

However, the moment his power erupted.

The mysterious woman carrying him at high speed seemed to sense something.

A power of the Azure Luan, equally pure but far more ancient, vast, and powerful than You Chen's, flashed through her body.

That feeling was like a stream merging into a vast sea.

Or like a firefly encountering the bright moon.

All the power You Chen had just risked his life to unleash couldn't even stir a single ripple before this power.

It was instantly suppressed, assimilated, and finally vanished without a trace.

He was once again confined, left with no strength to resist.

The confinement was even tighter than before.

You Chen felt a wave of despair.

How is this possible?

How could there be someone else in this world with such pure Azure Luan power?

This completely overturned his understanding.

He was carried by this force, shuttling rapidly through the air.

He wanted to remember the direction and the route, but the surrounding scenery receded so fast it turned into blurred streaks of light.

Their speed had reached an incredible degree.

Sometimes, he could even feel the surrounding space slightly warping and folding.

During the process of being abducted, You Chen suddenly felt a gentle force of life being transferred from the woman into his body.

Wherever that power passed, his shattered Meridians were slowly repaired by a soft force.

His depleted spiritual energy also began to reconsolidate.

Even the tearing trauma deep within his Divine Soul was being slowly healed.

This feeling made him even more confused.

Who exactly is she?

If she is an enemy, why save him?

If she is a friend, why take him away by force in this manner?

Moreover, she seemed completely unconcerned about whether Big Brother Jun lived or died.

“Who are you, exactly?”

He tried to speak, his voice hoarse from his heavy injuries.

“Where are you taking me?”

“Let me go back!”

The woman remained silent, not saying a single word.

It was as if he didn't exist.

An unknown amount of time passed.

They finally came to a stop.

Before them was a secluded valley, isolated from the world.

The Spiritual Qi in the valley was so dense it was almost solid, forming a light mist; a single breath was enough to refresh the mind and body.

With cascading waterfalls, flowing springs, and dancing cranes, it was truly a scene of an immortal's abode.

The woman released her hold on him, gently placing him on the soft grass.

You Chen didn't have time to check his injuries, which had already recovered by seventy or eighty percent.

He didn't even spare a glance at the surrounding wonderland.

The moment he regained his ability to move, he made his only choice.

Escape.

Burning his newly recovered spiritual energy, he activated his movement technique and turned to rush out of the valley.

He had to go back.

He didn't know how Big Brother Jun was doing now.

He only knew that he had to go back.

However, he had barely rushed out thirty feet.

A figure appeared before him like a ghost, blocking his path.

It was still that mysterious woman.

She just stood there quietly, without any Aura emanating from her.

It made him feel powerless and desperate.

“Move!”

You Chen gave a low growl, circulating the power of the Azure Luan and the You Que Divine Body simultaneously as he threw a punch.

This was the strongest blow he could deliver at this moment.

Facing this full-strength punch.

The woman merely extended a single finger, as white as jade.

She lightly tapped his fist.

Thud.

A muffled sound echoed.

You Chen felt as if he had crashed into an invisible, immortal wall forged from divine gold.

An indescribable, massive force traveled from that slender finger, instantly rebounding back.

He was sent flying backward, crashing heavily back to his original spot even faster than he had left it.

“Pfft.”

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Meridians that had just recovered slightly were once again riddled with cracks.

Late Stage Grotto-Heaven Realm.

A sense of powerlessness rose in You Chen's heart.

This woman's cultivation base was at least at the Late Stage of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

It might even be higher.

He couldn't win.

And he couldn't escape.

“What exactly do you want?”

You Chen stared at her, questioning in a hoarse voice, his eyes bloodshot.

“Why save me? And why bring me here?”

The woman didn't answer immediately.

Her gaze fell upon You Chen.

She seemed to be examining something.

Her gaze was calm, yet it felt as if she could see through all his secrets.

After a moment, she finally spoke.

Her voice was cold and detached, devoid of any emotion.

“Where did the Azure Luan power in your body come from?”

You Chen's heart jolted violently.

He subconsciously remained silent, which served as a tacit admission.

The Azure Luan Legacy was his greatest secret besides the You Que Divine Body.

In all the world, very few people knew of it.

Big Brother Jun was one.

But this woman of unknown Origin had seen through it at a single glance.

Seeing his reaction, a microscopic ripple appeared for the first time in the woman's cold eyes.

It was an extremely complex emotion.

Like nostalgia, yet also like sadness.

She spoke softly to herself, as if talking to You Chen, yet also as if talking to herself.

“I didn't expect that Father's Legacy would actually be passed down after all.”

Father?

You Chen was stunned.

He seemed to have grasped a key point.

Azure Luan Legacy... Father... An absurd but seemingly only possibility surfaced in his mind.

“You...”

He was about to press for more information.

The woman had already turned around, her back to him, looking toward the mist-shrouded depths of the valley.

She slowly raised her hand and removed the veil from her face.

“I am the daughter of Venerable Qing Luan.”

Her cold voice echoed through the valley.

Every word caused his heart to tremble violently.

This confirmed his suspicion.

But immediately following that, the next sentence the woman spoke left him completely dazed.

“And also, the only one in this world who is...”

She paused, her voice carrying an innate, inexpressible aloofness.

“The Azure Luan Sacred Body.”
