Chapter 476 - 475: Kun Hai

Chapter 476: Chapter 475: Kun Hai

"As Cultivators, it is our duty to protect the pure land of the Southern Wilderness! We will do so without hesitation!" Upon hearing this, the young disciples from the various sects couldn’t help but cry out.

And so, morale on the North Spirit Platform soared. The look of sorrow in everyone’s eyes vanished, replaced by one of unyielding determination.

’As long as the blood of our generation of Cultivators has not run cold, there is still hope for our Southern Wilderness!’ Seeing this, Ling Fei felt a small sense of relief.

At least when disaster struck, there was still a group of people willing to shed their blood and lay down their lives to protect this pure land.

But beside him, Lian Shuang furrowed her brow slightly, looking as if she had something on her mind.

Fang Yuan, Ling Fei, and the others all noticed.

"Senior Sister Lian Shuang, what’s wrong?" Fang Yuan asked, batting her long eyelashes.

She now felt much closer to Lian Shuang and harbored no ill will toward her because of her past.

The sword strike Lian Shuang had aimed at Xu Zitao had completely won the girl over.

"Senior Sister, is there something you wish to say?" Ling Fei also looked at Lian Shuang and asked.

Seeing this, the elders present also turned their gazes toward her.

The atmosphere of the scene changed slightly.

Everyone knew that Lian Shuang and Xu Zitao had a history, and she must know something.

"This time, Xu Zitao and I came to the Southern Wilderness with the goal of helping the Kunpeng Ancestor emerge. However, besides the two of us, another person came with us." Lian Shuang’s long eyelashes fluttered. She pursed her lips, and after a moment of hesitation, she looked up and spoke to Ling Fei and the Sect Leaders of the various sects.

"What! There’s another one?" Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"Who is this person? What is his Cultivation level? What kind of abilities does he have?" The Sect Leaders from the various sects all grew solemn and quickly asked.

From the tone of Lian Shuang’s voice, it seemed this person was crucial and could affect the situation in the Southern Wilderness.

"This person is named Kun Hai. He is a disciple of the Kunpeng Race from the Divine Demon Sea and possesses a potent Kunpeng Bloodline," Lian Shuang said, her eyes flashing.

"Kun Hai, a member of the Kunpeng Race?" At these words, Sect Leader Yuan’s expression turned grim.

"What is his Cultivation?" the Sect Leader of the North Sea Sect couldn’t help but ask.

"It should be beyond the Divine Mansion Realm," Lian Shuang said. "The people of the Divine Demon Sea are bound by the world and are not allowed to leave. This time, Kun Hai was lucky enough to escape the Divine Demon Sea, but he also suffered a heavenly tribulation. His Divine Soul was injured, and his strength was sharply reduced. He has been in seclusion recovering all these years. That’s why he didn’t get involved in helping the Kunpeng Ancestor emerge. But now that Xu Zitao has failed, he will be forced to act."

"An expert who has surpassed the Divine Mansion Realm, and with a potent Kunpeng Bloodline... we’re in big trouble now!" The Sect Leader of the North Sea Sect’s brow furrowed tightly.

Instantly, the Sect Leaders of the various sects all had solemn expressions, and the atmosphere changed once more.

After all, even a junior like Xu Zitao had displayed astonishing depth.

Both his Nether Armor and the Kunpeng Sword were Supreme Treasures, capable of unleashing astonishing combat power.

What kind of treasures would this descendant of the Kunpeng Race have?

Not to mention Beiming Transformation Sea and the Corpse Spirit Hall.

The situation in the Southern Wilderness was even more dire than they had imagined.

"It seems we must discuss this matter at length." Sect Leader Yuan and Master Xuan Ji exchanged a look before speaking to the crowd.

"Mm." The Sect Leaders of the various sects all nodded.

At this point, they had no choice but to properly discuss how to deal with the situation.

Thus, the elders of the various sects flew off the North Spirit Platform with their disciples.

The Sect Leaders of the various sects gathered in a grand hall within North Spirit Ancient City to discuss how to deal with the Beiming Sword Sect.

"Sect Leader Yuan, the enemy is powerful. How should we handle this!?" the Sect Leader of the North Sea Sect asked, his face full of worry.

"At this point, our only option is to ask for reinforcements," Sect Leader Yuan said, his eyes flashing.

Master Xuan Ji, who was beside him, also nodded slightly.

At this point, they had no confidence they could contend with the Beiming Sword Sect.

Even if they fought to the last drop of their blood, it would be difficult to exterminate all the Evil Demons.

"Reinforcements?" The Sect Leaders looked astonished. "Who can we even ask at this point?"

"The Great Tang Emperor!" Yuan Huaitian’s brow rose, a glint appearing in his eyes as he spoke.

"The Great Tang Emperor? Will he really send aid?" Hearing this, everyone was first stunned, then worried.

The Great Tang Emperor was indeed powerful and unfathomable.

However, if he left Great Tang, his strength would be diminished.

Besides, the Great Tang Emperor had never involved himself in the affairs of the Southern Wilderness’s sects. Would he really intervene this time?

"That depends on the will of heaven," Yuan Huaitian said in a low voice.

At this point, he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

"Let’s hope the Great Tang Emperor can give us a pleasant surprise!" Everyone sighed, feeling helpless.

...

In the end, the Sect Leaders decided to leave some people behind to monitor the situation at the North Spirit Ruins.

The Sect Leaders of the Three Great Sects, however, returned to their own sects to heal.

After all, with the protective Arrays in their own sects, they could at least be at ease while recuperating in seclusion.

If they stayed here and were attacked by Beiming Transformation Sea and the others, they wouldn’t be able to focus on healing at all.

As for the North Spirit Ruins, as long as the five Spiritual Tokens were not gathered, Beiming Transformation Sea would be completely unable to open it.

One must understand, this was a Demon Suppression Land left behind by the Ancient Human Emperor. How could an ordinary person possibly force it open?

After some discussion, the elders of the various sects went their separate ways to begin healing.

「Deep into the night.」

Ling Fei stayed in his room and began to regulate his breathing.

During his battle with Xu Zitao in the North Spirit Ruins, Ling Fei had burned his True Dragon Essence Blood, a considerable expenditure.

Fortunately, he still had the Essence Blood of the Ao Qian Dragon King in his Sea of Consciousness. By absorbing this True Dragon Blood Qi, Ling Fei’s own Blood Qi was constantly recovering.

In fact, because he had exhausted so much of his body’s Blood Qi, reabsorbing the True Dragon Blood Qi now gave him a feeling of rebirth.

The Blood Qi seemed to have become even more vibrant.

The only drawback was Ling Fei’s Divine Soul.

He had not hesitated to burn his Divine Soul Power to control the True Dragon’s Eye, truly damaging his foundation. Even with the replenishment from the True Dragon Blood Qi, it would be difficult to return to his peak state.

For Ling Fei, this was a huge hidden danger. If he couldn’t replenish the Power of Origin his Divine Soul had lost, it would affect his future in Martial Arts.

’The Human Emperor once said that this Primordial Celestial Stone is incomparably profound. If I draw out the Primordial Qi within to temper my Divine Soul, there’s a chance I can repair the damage.’ With a thought, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit reached out to sense the Primordial Celestial Stone in his Sea of Consciousness. The moment he made contact with it, his Heart Spirit felt as if it were being nurtured by the origin of heaven and earth.

’What profound Primordial Qi.’ Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit stirred, and he began to guide this Primordial Qi to temper and nourish his own Divine Soul.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Wisps of Primordial Qi were drawn out by Ling Fei, his Cultivation Technique activating to temper his Divine Soul with it.

Thus, the Primordial Qi seeped into Ling Fei’s Divine Soul. It was called tempering, but it was actually a form of nourishment, and it began to slowly repair the injuries to his Divine Soul.

Nourished by this Primordial Qi, Ling Fei could feel his Divine Soul, which had been weak and listless before, begin to regain some of its vitality.

’This Primordial Celestial Stone really can repair the damage to my Divine Soul.’ Feeling this change, Ling Fei was overjoyed and immediately continued to guide the Primordial Qi to nourish his Divine Soul.

Under this nourishment, his Divine Soul was continuously being repaired.

...

「The next day.」

The Cultivators from the various sects gathered in North Spirit Ancient City.

"If anything happens, please contact us immediately. These are special times. We must all work together to protect our Southern Wilderness!"

"We will!" After bidding each other farewell, the members of each sect left one after another.
