Chapter 711: Holy Solution · Naraku Realm
One day and one night.
Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong’s cultivation before the Yin-Yang Mirror did not cease, their spirit pressure density steadily increasing.
Another day passed, until around 4 AM on the third day.
The spirit pressure density reached the late stage of Venerable One, but could not advance further. Mu Qingtong felt tired, as if she had hit a bottleneck, overused her brain, and her inspiration had run dry.
“Let’s rest for a while.”
Xia Feng patted her somewhat damp and slick back, his hoarse voice panting, “The spirit materials for condensing the second Dao Fruit are about two hundred types. We are condensing an S-class fruit position, which requires a full 10 types of level 6 spirit materials. The quantity is far greater than for an A-class fruit position, so it might be difficult to collect.”
The first Dao Fruit the two had condensed was—
[Rare A·Dual Origin Dao Fruit·Throne Construct]
This fruit position was very powerful, allowing them to fight against Venerable Four spirit masters. However, it had a drawback: it required fusion, and activating its ultimate move caused too much commotion.
If they could condense an S-class fruit position, their individual combat power would directly soar exponentially. Xia Feng felt that without needing to fuse, they might even be able to fight against Sacred Realm opponents.
But achieving this goal was a long and arduous journey.
Mu Qingtong tilted her fair neck, her lily-white arms tightly grasping Xia Feng’s black hair, and whispered in a soft, clear voice, “Black Moon, the General Court should have quite a reserve of level 6 spirit materials.”
“.That makes sense.” Xia Feng looked up, deep in thought, “We should find an opportunity to visit their spirit material treasury.”
“Dong dong dong—”
Just as the two were chatting, a muffled knocking sound broke the crisp sounds of water reverberating within the room.
The nun’s respectful, deep voice came from outside, “Two lords, the Saintess requests your presence.”
“It seems there’s an outcome from Cha Nai Xue’s side.”
Although Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong had been cultivating, they had still made time to do other things.
For example, sending the unconscious Saint Pastor Angi to the recuperation ward to nourish her soul and repair her soul injuries.
And contacting Jiang Qiue, from whom they learned about the battle the day before yesterday.
The group of forces led by the Lion-riding youth, with the protection of Miao Shi, had successfully escaped under the encirclement of the Holy Department and Heavenly Revelation.
According to Jiang Qiue’s introduction, the Lion-riding youth’s true name was Yuan Qing. Miao Shi had saved Yuan Qing’s life and taught him a few moves, making him a quasi-teacher with a good relationship.
Therefore, Yuan Qing led his subordinates to rescue Miao Shi this time.
Yuan Qing belonged to a mysterious force called [Old Land]. Xia Feng searched his memory carefully but had never heard of it.
Was it a newly emerged force, like the Peach Organization?
While the Old Land, led by the Lion-riding youth, could escape with Miao Shi’s help, the Burning Angel Disciples were in a worse situation.
Under the joint siege of Heavenly Revelation and the Holy Department, the Black Moon General Court’s knights also joined the battle after reacting, directly heavily wounding Fen Cheng, and Leng Xiu was beaten to the brink of death.
In the end, Fen Cheng and Ji Ying successfully escaped to a safe place with the help of the Light Disciples, while Leng Xiu was left behind as a decoy, drawing enemy fire.
After tidying their clothes, Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong followed the nun towards the tower summit.
“Where is Jiang Qiue?”
“Saintess Qiue is still at the main temple handling official duties.”
Xia Feng nodded, and soon arrived at the special space on the tower summit.
Dipus was still seated amidst the Star River waterfall. However, after 50 hours had passed, his appearance had transformed from youth to old age.
His once handsome face was now full of wrinkles and dark spots, his white hair sparse, and his back hunched.
If not for the light-gold sacrificial robe on his back and the monocle on his right eye, it would be hard to imagine that he was the gentle and refined son of the Pope from two days ago.
Dipus seemed to be struggling to hold on, his aged, cloudy eyes downcast.
In the center of the void platform before them, Miao Shi’s figure was not visible. Only Cha Nai Xue sat in the middle.
Not far from Cha Nai Xue, Leng Xiu, covered in blood and filth, prostrated on the ground, trembling. He no longer possessed the arrogant and lazy demeanor from previous days.
He kept kowtowing, bashing his head against the ground, pleading in a terrified, trembling voice, “Saintess! I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong!”
In the face of life and death, the mind is most easily destroyed.
This Burning Angel Disciple appeared to have undergone inhuman torture and was now broken.
As he kowtowed, Leng Xiu’s peripheral vision caught sight of Xia Feng approaching slowly. He couldn’t help but be startled, a flicker of dark hatred flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He hastily began kowtowing to Xia Feng as well, incessantly begging for mercy.
Fortune turns, and in the past few days, he had treated Xia Feng and the other three like rats in the street. But now he was a prisoner, and dignity no longer mattered.
Xia Feng ignored him, instead looking at Cha Nai Xue with a frown, “Where is your teacher?”
“I don’t know.” Cha Nai Xue shook her head, not giving Leng Xiu any further opportunity to speak, and killed him with a palm strike.
“Bang!”
Leng Xiu’s body harbored a sealed undead spirit, and it was this spirit that possessed the Naraku spirit artifact.
With Leng Xiu’s death, this undead spirit also vanished. The spirit artifact transformed into two streams of shattered light, one an A-class fragment and the other a B-class fragment, which flowed into Cha Nai Xue’s forehead.
The process of fusing the fragments was very smooth. The purple light on her forehead grew brighter. She suddenly opened her eyes, her purple irises seeming to twinkle with starlight, beautifully ethereal.
This was the beginning of her Holy Solution.
Xia Feng couldn’t help but feel a little envious. Cha Nai Xue’s Holy Solution was truly easy. In just a few days, she had collected all the necessary materials. Leng Xiu, a dignified Venerable One, had been specifically delivered to her for slaughter, and she was not troubled by a complicated Holy Solution Ceremony.
Everything seemed so smooth, as if…
It had been arranged.
After a moment, Cha Nai Xue’s beautiful, starlike pupils began to contract. The chaotic star threads in her irises converged into her deep pupils, her majestic gaze now possessing an inherent aura of authority.
However, strangely, Cha Nai Xue did not show any joy at the successful Holy Solution. Instead, she frowned slowly, her expression not looking good.
“What? Did the Holy Solution fail?” Xia Feng, who had already found the matter strange, was prepared for something to go wrong.
Cha Nai Xue looked up, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her lips, though the forced smile looked very helpless. “The Holy Solution was successful, but the ability it yielded is truly…”
“Useless.”
“Useless?” Xia Feng asked in confusion, reaching out to place his hand on Cha Nai Xue’s shoulder and activating his Copy ability.
