"Haha... But what’s happened to Elder Zhou now?" Liang Yi chuckled and then asked with concern about Zhou Yuqing, who had collapsed into Zhou Ruanxian’s arms.
"The Divine Soul is disturbed, dummy, can’t you see ow!" Uncle Orange slapped his paw on Liang Yi’s shoulder, his face full of disdain.
Zhou Ruanxian looked at the peculiar little beast on Liang Yi’s shoulder with surprise. It was a species she had never seen before, and for a mont, there was a profound mystery about the beast that even she could not penetrate.
"Chen Hua’s two disciples seem to be quite fortunate." Zhou Ruanxian glanced at Liang Yi and then at Su Youyi, making them both feel sowhat embarrassed.
"That’s correct. This is a sequelae ford under the violent impact on the Divine Soul in a short period of ti. However, it’s not a big problem with here." Zhou Ruanxian looked down at Zhou Yuqing asleep in her arms, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"Healing also needs the aid of things like Spiritual dicine. Let’s return to the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool first," Zhou Yuzhi suggested on the side, as healing with the support of Spiritual dicine and arrays would yield twice the result with half the effort.
"That sounds good." Zhou Ruanxian nodded, with no objections.
But before leaving, she couldn’t help feeling a little sentintal as she glanced back at the vast ice barrier behind her; after all, she had sealed herself here for so many years. It was thanks to the existence of this ice barrier that she could suppress the growth of her inner demons in the shortest ti possible, preventing her from succumbing to demonic possession.
When Zhou Yuzhi took Liang Yi and the others back to the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, the sect had already returned to tranquility.
Although most disciples were curious about the cultivator who had triggered the Sect Protection Array’s attack, since the elders all said it was a misunderstanding, they had no way of knowing the truth—which was only known by the few True Inheritors like Ke ngzhan.
After everyone settled down, Zhou Yuzhi went straight to the Treasure Vault, planning to use the sect’s resources for personal purposes again, looking to get so good things to help his third sister recover her Divine Soul.
Currently, watching Zhou Yuqing lying on the bed, Zhou Ruoxian had already started the healing process and planned to slowly remove the complex seals within the Divine Soul.
If it had been anyone else, even Zhou Yuqing, in a comatose state, would instinctively activate the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire to protect herself based on her body’s instincts. But after sensing the presence of Zhou Ruanxian, Zhou Yuqing, who had been sowhat tense, relaxed, as if being taken care of by this person was a natural right.
This was a bodily instinct that she wouldn’t forget since childhood, even with her mories sealed.
Zhou Ruanxian sat by the bed, one hand holding Zhou Yuqing to make her body less resistant, while the other hand gently rested on her forehead.
Liang Yi, Su Youyi, and Uncle Orange silently watched on, not daring to even breathe heavily for fear of disturbing the ongoing treatnt.
Zhou Ruanxian was already a top expert in the realm of the Divine Soul, having maintained a clear Divine Soul for so long under the near state of demonic possession, thanks largely to Chen Hua’s help and Zhou Ruanxian’s own strength.
Now, after having sealed herself within the ice barrier created by the Extre Cold Law for so many years, she not only suppressed demonic possession but also deliberately pondered this one of the strongest Laws of the world, breaking out of the ice now with full understanding of this Law.
With the expertise in Daoist Skill of the Divine Soul, Zhou Ruanxian could perform extraordinary feats with the Extre Cold Law, at least making her one of the strongest among Eighth Realm cultivators. The seal within Zhou Yuqing’s Divine Soul seed extrely troubleso, but in the eyes of Zhou Ruanxian, it was not unsolvable.
Even though they were in a secret room, Liang Yi and Su Youyi still saw ice crystals materializing out of the Void, which beca invisible again the mont they touched Zhou Yuqing’s body.
""
Zhou Ruanxian, with her eyes closed, radiated an intangible brilliance, the glow of colored glaze illuminating the entire cave mansion. Unlike what Liang Yi and Su Youyi saw on the surface, from Zhou Ruanxian’s perspective, she had already arrived in front of the vast and complex array in her younger sister Divine Soul.
"It looks even more troubleso than I’d imagined, the Sect Hierarch of Devouring Spirit Sect really struck rcilessly..." Zhou Ruanxian’s consciousness grumbled in front of the array with gritted teeth, her usually calm and steady ntal State now struggling to restrain surging anger.
She hadn’t expected that, in order to control her younger sister, the Sect Hierarch of Devouring Spirit Sect would resort to such a vicious thod, fusing the entire array with parts of her sister’s Divine Soul, making it certain that any other solution would damage Yuqing’s Divine Soul.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Zhou Ruanxian reentered a state of ice-clear serenity and reached out to touch the array before her.
In the outside world, Liang Yi only saw Zhou Yuqing’s body suddenly tremble once before returning to tranquility.
At this mont, Zhou Yuzhi walked in holding a Spiritual Pearl that continuously twinkled with silvery-white brilliance. Seeing her eldest sister had already started the healing process, she gently tossed the Desireless Soul-Stabilizing Pearl right above Zhou Yuqing’s forehead.
The Desireless Soul-Stabilizing Pearl rotated above Zhou Yuqing, its silvery-white light like an early morning mist gently drifting down, stabilizing Zhou Yuqing’s Divine Soul.
"Desireless Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, a Second Grade Exotic Treasure; it has gathered dust for so many years in our Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool’s Treasure Vault. If it weren’t for this incident, I would have probably forgotten that our sect had such an item," Zhou Yuzhi explained to Liang Yi and Su Youyi with a faint smile.
Even if Zhou Yuzhi used it secretly, those old fogeys in the sect would never notice.
"It really seems to be effective," Liang Yi observed intently and found that under the sweep of the silvery-white mist, Senior Zhou Yuqing indeed seed much calr.
Su Youyi also noticed that the radiance around their Sect Mother had beco even more intense.
"Alright, you two stay here and watch over her, I am going to set up the Array," seeing the significant effects of the Desireless Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, Zhou Yuzhi nodded in satisfaction, gave Liang Yi a few instructions, and then turned to leave.
anwhile, in the world of Zhou Yuqing’s Divine Soul, Zhou Ruanxian was thodically dismantling the array bit by bit.
This array, in her view, was like a tattoo imprinted on Yuqing’s Divine Soul. Although she was proficient with Daoist Skill pertaining to Divine Souls, she was not extrely expertise in arrays, hence she could not use traditional thods to resolve it.
Furthermore, after examining it, Zhou Ruanxian realized that when the Sect Hierarch of Devouring Spirit Sect initially inscribed the array, he never intended to undo it, so even a top-tier Array Master might not be able to dismantle it intact.
So, Zhou Ruanxian did not plan to take the usual approach.
Her thod was to utilize the Extre Cold Law, using her most proficient thod to freeze parts of the array and then separate and dismantle it from the Divine Soul.
This procedure severely tested the Caster’s understanding of the Divine Soul and their control over the Law; a slight misstep could cause irreversible harm to the subject’s Divine Soul.
But Zhou Ruanxian was confident; to save Yuqing, she had to be confident.
Luckily, Yuzhi, using so unknown Exotic Treasure, directly protected Yuqing’s Divine Soul, making it more robust and stable, allowing Zhou Ruanxian to act more freely.
