Chapter 781 Lu Xueqi and Biyao
Xuanbinglong was right; the process of fusing the fragments was indeed extremely painful, enough to drive a person to a mental breakdown.
Su Han's consciousness teetered on the brink of collapse. He remembered many things—his childhood days cultivating at the Qingyun Sect, the scene when he first met Fairy Yuehua, his conversation with the Lord of the Netherworld in the Netherworld Abyss, the expectations of True Man Wanjian, and the safety of countless beings in the cultivation world.
"I can't fall," Su Han told herself. "I can't let everyone down."
He bit his tongue, the sharp pain briefly bringing him back to his senses. He seized the opportunity, channeling the last vestiges of chaotic energy within him into the five fragments.
The five fragments trembled violently at the same time, and the five colors began to merge, from five colors to four, from four to three, from three to two, and finally, all the colors disappeared, replaced by a pure white.
White is not the absence of color, but rather the fusion of all colors.
The five fragments disappeared, replaced by a palm-sized white jade tablet. The jade tablet was engraved with dense runes, which were not carved on later, but were formed innately, each rune containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
The sealing technique is now complete.
Su Han looked at the white jade pendant in his hand, a smile appearing on his lips. But then, everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness, falling straight backward.
"Su Han!" Fairy Yuehua exclaimed, leaping onto the altar and embracing Su Han tightly.
Su Han's face was as pale as paper, his breath was so weak it was almost imperceptible, and his pulse was intermittent. The golden light around him had completely disappeared, and he was like a lamp that had burned out of oil, with only a last wisp of flame flickering in the wind.
"What's wrong with him?" Master Wanjian rushed up and asked anxiously.
Master Xuanqing walked to Su Han's side, placed his hand on Su Han's pulse, closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. The expression on his face changed from solemn to surprised, and then from surprised to admiring.
"What a magnificent Chaotic Dao Body." Master Xuanqing opened his eyes and said, "He's alright, he just exhausted his spiritual energy and fainted. If it were anyone else, suffering soul-level pain while having exhausted their spiritual energy, they would have been destroyed long ago. But the power of the Chaotic Dao Body far exceeds my imagination. Not only was his soul not damaged, but it was also tempered in this trial and became more solid."
Hearing this, Fairy Moon felt a little relieved, but she still held Su Han tightly and refused to let go.
Master Xuanqing glanced at Fairy Yuehua, a meaningful look flashing in his eyes, but said nothing.
"Take him back to rest," said Master Xuanqing. "He was too exhausted this time and will need at least half a month to recover. The sealing technique is now complete; we can discuss the rest after he wakes up."
Moon Fairy nodded, carefully picked up Su Han, and walked out of the underground space.
Master Wanjian watched Fairy Yuehua's departing figure, then looked at Master Xuanqing, hesitating to speak.
“Say what you want to say,” said Master Xuanqing.
"Elder," Master Wanjian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yuehua's feelings for Su Han seem to be..."
“I know,” Master Xuanqing interrupted him, “but that’s not something we should be concerned about right now. At a time when the cultivation world is on the verge of collapse, personal feelings are trivial matters. Besides, outsiders can’t interfere with matters of the heart; we can only let nature take its course.”
Master Wanjian sighed and said nothing more.
……
Su Han was unconscious for three days and three nights. During these three days, Fairy Yuehua stayed by his side without leaving for a moment, personally brewing and feeding him medicine, and using the power of moonlight to help regulate his meridians. She did not rest for a moment.
The disciples of Qingyun Sect didn't know what had happened, but they were heartbroken to see Fairy Yuehua looking so haggard. Several times, her disciples came to urge her to rest, but she refused each time.
"I will stay here and watch over him," Fairy Moonflower said stubbornly. "He almost risked his life for the cultivation world. What is this little thing I'm doing for him?"
The disciples had no choice but to let her have her way.
On the third night, Su Han finally woke up.
He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Fairy Yuehua asleep by the bedside. Her face looked haggard, and there were obvious dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't rested for a long time.
A warm feeling welled up in Su Han's heart. He knew that Fairy Yuehua must have been watching over him the whole time, until she could no longer hold on and fell asleep by the bedside.
He carefully sat up, not wanting to wake Fairy Yuehua. But his movements still startled her. Fairy Yuehua suddenly looked up, saw that Su Han was awake, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"You're awake!" Fairy Yuehua exclaimed excitedly, her voice trembling with tears. "You're finally awake! Do you know how worried I was about you, being unconscious for three days and three nights..."
Seeing Fairy Yuehua's tear-streaked face, Su Han's heart was touched. He reached out and gently wiped away her tears, saying, "Uncle-Master, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you."
Moon Fairy grasped Su Han's hand tightly, as if he would disappear if she let go.
"Don't do such foolish things again," Fairy Yuehua said, choking back tears. "The safety of the cultivation world, the fate of all living beings, are not as important as your life. If you die, I...I..."
She couldn't continue speaking; tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Su Han looked at Fairy Yuehua, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that Fairy Yuehua's feelings for him had gone beyond the bond between uncle and niece, but he didn't know how to respond. He didn't want to hurt her, but he also didn't want her to fall deeper into this abyss.
"Uncle-Master," Su Han said softly, "I promise you, I won't let you worry anymore."
The Moon Fairy nodded, sobbing, wiped away her tears, and said, "Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."
"No need, Uncle-Master," Su Han said. "I'm not hungry right now. I want to go check the sealing technique to make sure there's nothing wrong with it."
Fairy Moonlight shook her head and said, "The Supreme Elder said that you need to rest well now and cannot use your spiritual power for half a month. We can talk about the sealing method after you recover."
Su Han knew that Fairy Yuehua was right. His body was indeed very weak. Let alone using spiritual power, he even had difficulty getting out of bed and walking.
"Okay." Su Han nodded. "Then I'll rest for a few more days."
The Moon Fairy covered him with a blanket, sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "Go to sleep, I'll stay here with you."
Su Han looked at Fairy Yuehua, wanting to say something, but swallowed the words back. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep again. (End of Chapter)
