Chapter 2004 - Blood Crow Tribe
The Sovereign's Ascension
After incinerating the Indigocloth Venerable, Lin Yun restored Ye Qingtianâs appearance. When he returned, Bai Qingyu woke up and saw that Lin Yun had retrieved the Stalewater Sword from the tree and handed it back to her. Lin Yun had suffered greatly under that sword, and Xiao Jingyan wouldnât have been so terrifying if it wasnât for the help of this sword.
âYe Qingtian, thank you for retrieving this sword given to me by my elder sister. Sheâll be heartbroken if I lose it.â Bai Qingyu received the Stalewater Sword. She was nervous and didnât dare to look Ye Qingtian in the eyes.
âXiao Jingyan and the rest are dead?â
âTheyâre dead. Donât move. Let me examine your injuries.â Lin Yun circulated his nirvana aura before sending it into Bai Qingyuâs body. He then exclaimed in shock, âBai Qingyu, how did your injuries become so severe?â
He finally realized that Bai Qingyu wasnât fooling around when she said she was dying. Her dragon pulses were almost destroyed. Even with the help of saint pellets, they could only temporarily suppress her injuries. Dragon pulses were the core of Nirvana Stage experts and were even more important than their meridians.
Lin Yun also suffered injuries to his dragon pulses in the past, and he was practically reduced to a cripple. He could only rely on his music dao and physique to last through that tough period, and it wasnât easy for him to restore his dragon pulses.
Bai Qingyu didnât have two saint physiques like him. So she might not be able to repair her dragon pulses even with the help of the Heavenly Snow Lotus. Bai Qingyuâs emotions collapsed upon hearing that, and she cried out, âYe Qingtian, Iâm sorry. Iâm too useless and have caused trouble for you instead. Now, Iâm even a burden to you.â
âHa, at least you have some self-awareness.â
Lilâ Red invited Lil' Purple out of the Iris Secret Realm.
âWho are you?â Bai Qingyu asked, still sobbing.
âSheâs Lord Phoenix,â Lilâ Red said.
Bai Qingyuâs eyes lit up when she heard Lil' Redâs words. The Lord Phoenix was beautiful, but she looked like a little girl.
âHer injuries?â Lin Yun turned to look at Lilâ Purple.
âNothing serious. If I didnât make a mistake, she also has a natal Saint Physique. She didnât cultivate properly, so it hasnât awakened. But her potential isnât weak,â Lilâ Purple said.
Lin Yun already had a speculation. If she had no potential, she wouldnât have such a powerful cultivation at such a young age.
âMy elder sister possesses the Natal Yang Saint Physique, while I possess the Natal Yin Saint Physique. But my talent canât be compared to my elder sister, and I also dislike cultivating. Thatâs why my saint physique hasnât been awakened,â Bai Qingyu said softly with her head lowered.
âThatâs not necessarily true,â Lilâ Purple said in a playful tone.
âMhm?â Bai Qingyu looked at Lilâ Purple in puzzlement, but Lilâ Purple didnât say much about it.
âHer injuries arenât as serious as yours were, and itâs not hard to recover from them,â Lilâ Purple said. âRefining the Heavenly Snow Lotus without a Divine Dragon Bone will be more troublesome. She needs to bathe in the Heavenly Snow Elixir while you refine the Snow Lotus Heart with your Divine Dragon Bone and inject it into her.â
âI still have some Snow Lotus Heart, but what do you mean by me refining it and injecting it into her?â Lin Yun asked in puzzlement.
âAre you stupid? Feed it to her, obviously,â Lilâ Purple said.
âWhat?â Bai Qingyuâs face blushed as she lowered her head.
âIs that really necessary?â Lin Yun frowned. He wasnât too willing to do that.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWell, I canât do anything about that. She didnât awaken her saint physique nor does she have a Divine Dragon Bone. So she can only be a cripple now. At that time, her elder sister will surely kill you,â Lilâ Purple said.
âYe Qingtian, I believe that youâre a good person. I donât wish to be a cripple. Iâve done many wrong things, so allow me to repay you,â Bai Qingyu said, raising her head. Who would want to become a cripple if they could choose? Not to mention she was a genius in the past.
âDonât regret it,â Lin Yun said, recalling his past experience.
Bai Qingyu heaved a breath of relief. She wasnât afraid and even had a little anticipation.
Not long later, Lilâ Purple set up a bath for them and poured the Heavenly Snow Elixir she had refined into it. Lin Yun noticed that Lilâ Purple secretly cut her hand and dripped a few droplets of blood into the bath.
When they both entered, their palms were connected as Lin Yun swallowed the Snow Lotus Heart before pouring the Blue Dragon Boneâs aura into Bai Qingyuâs body.
Half an incense later, Lin Yun gathered the refined Snow Lotus Heart in his mouth. He said, âOpen your mouth.â
Bai Qingyu mustered her courage and opened her mouth. The Snow Lotus Heart then entered her body and melted the moment it entered her mouth. Throughout this process, Bai Qingyuâs eyes were closed and didnât dare to look at Ye Qingtian.
While Lin Yun examined Bai Qingyu, he had to admit that she was beautiful. Her temperament was entirely different from Bai Shuying's. She wasnât aloof and elegant like Bai Shuying, but there was a hint of liveliness. She was also a beauty, but their temperaments were entirely different.
Recollecting his thoughts, Lin Yun circulated the Blue Dragon Bone. As blue radiance shone out from him, it instantly enveloped Bai Qingyu. In just one night, Bai Qingyu had recovered a small portion of her dragon pulses, and she could barely circulate her nirvana aura to treat her injuries. Lin Yun left the bath and a white mist came out from his body as the water evaporated.
Three days later, Bai Qingyu had completely refined the Snow Lotus Heart. Not only did she recover from her injuries, but she even took a step further.
âBai Qingyu, itâs time for you to leave,â Lin Yun said.
âI have to leave?â Bai Qingyu felt terrible, and she held onto the Stalewater Sword tightly. âSenior Brother, I wonât hold you down.â
But she immediately regretted it the moment she said that. She initially wanted revenge for her elder sister and followed Ye Qingtian into the Myriad Graves Valley. But after they interacted, she realized that she misunderstood him. After that, she did nothing but cause trouble for Ye Qingtian and nearly became a cripple.
Now that she had recovered, it was time for her to leave. But for some reason, she couldnât help feeling a little disappointed. She thought that their relationship had improved after experiencing so much together. Bai Qingyu said, âYe Qingtian, let me follow and help you.â
But Lin Yun shook his head and replied, âEven I might die during what Iâll do next. Are you sure you can help me?â
Bai Qingyu was disappointed when she heard that, and she said, âSenior Brother, I understand.â
Lin Yun nodded, âIâll get Lilâ Red to send you back. There shouldnât be any dangers along the way.â
Bai Qingyu didnât refuse that offer and asked, âSenior Brother, are they really dead?â
âAll dead,â Lin Yun said.
âThe Indigocloth Venerable is also dead?â Bai Qingyu asked.
âHer as well. Why are you asking about her?â Lin Yun asked curiously.
âI canât believe youâd kill such a beauty like her,â Bai Qingyu muttered.
âEven if sheâs beautiful, I wonât hold back since she threatened me. Not to mention sheâs not as beautiful as you or your sister,â Lin Yun said indifferently.
âReally? If I was not Bai Shuyingâs younger sister, would you save me?â Bai Qingyu asked happily.
But Lin Yun maintained his silence and said nothing.
Bai Qingyuâs smile disappeared, and she lowered her head, âAll right. I understand.â
âLet her follow you. Since weâre going to look for the Udumbara Flower, she might be able to help us,â Lilâ Purple said.
Bai Qingyu widened her pupils and firmly said, âYe Qingtian, believe me that I can help you.â
Lin Yun pondered for a long time before he ultimately nodded. It was mainly because the Myriad Graves Valley was too dangerous, and not even Lilâ Red could protect her if they ran into danger.
âHehe, youâre not allowed to take your words back, then,â Bai Qingyu said excitedly.
It didnât take long for them to reach the depths of the Myriad Graves Valley. This entire region was enveloped in a crimson mist, and there were a lot of tombs.
Lin Yun circulated the Azure Dragon Sword Heart and sensed the dangers here. His Azure Dragon Sword Heart had reached a high stage, and he could sense the dangers. So it was convenient to avoid unnecessary trouble.
âHow is it?â Lilâ Purple asked.
âItâs weird. The depths of the Myriad Graves Valley is dangerous, and yet I can sense so much hostility with my sword heart,â Lin Yun said.
âSword intent is the bane of all evil. The Blood Crows are manifestations of sin, so they probably detected your presence,â Lilâ Purple said.
âLet me take a look at the situation first.â Lin Yun flew to the sky and circulated the Divine Dragon Eyes, piercing through the crimson mist, capturing everything within a few thousand miles. âThere are a lot of Blood Crows in the depths of the Myriad Graves Valley, and there are thousands of Blood Crows within three thousand miles. Many of them are comparable to the top thirty of the King Ranking.â
What he saw was only the tip of the iceberg, and ordinary cultivators wouldnât even know how they died if they stepped in there. Even if Xiao Jingyan and the Indigocloth Venerable joined hands together, they definitely wouldnât dare to intrude on the crimson mist.
