Chapter 777 Lu Xueqi and Biyao
The power of chaos, encompassing all things and purifying everything, circulated within Fairy Moonlight's body under Su Han's guidance, gradually expelling the cold air that had invaded her body.
The Moon Fairy's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and her life force returned to its vigor. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Su Han healing her wounds, her eyes filled with gratitude and love.
"Su Han, thank you, you saved my life again," Fairy Yuehua said weakly.
Su Han shook his head and said, "Uncle-Master, don't say such things. This is what I should do." He turned to look at Xuanbinglong, clasped his hands and said, "Senior Ice Dragon, I have broken free from the ice. Does this count as passing the test?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Xuanbinglong's eyes as he said, "You are the first to break free from my Xuanbinglong's extreme cold within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Your chaotic power is indeed strong, actually able to restrain my Xuanbing power. You have passed the test, and this fragment is yours."
The Xuanbing Dragon opened its mouth, and a blue bead flew out. Sealed within the bead was a blue fragment—the fifth and final fragment of the sealing technique. The bead flew to Su Han and slowly descended.
Su Han took the bead, broke the seal, and took out the blue fragment inside, his heart filled with excitement. All five fragments were finally gathered!
Fairy Moonlight was also overjoyed. She looked at Su Han and said, "Su Han, we succeeded! We've collected all five fragments!"
Su Han nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle-Master, we succeeded. Now, all we need to do is return to the Qingyun Sect, find the Supreme Elder, and fuse the five fragments together to strengthen the seal of the Netherworld Cold Abyss, which will completely prevent the Lord of the Netherworld from awakening."
"Humans, don't be too happy yet." The voice of the Xuanbing Dragon suddenly became solemn. "Although you have collected all five fragments, you still need one more key thing to fuse them and strengthen the seal."
Su Han was startled and asked, "Senior Ice Dragon, is there anything else you need?"
Xuanbinglong's blue eyes were fixed on Su Han as it slowly said, "The five fragments of the sealing technique need to be fused together using the power of chaos as a medium. Moreover, the person fusing the fragments must possess a chaotic Dao body and have a cultivation level of at least the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in order to withstand the powerful force generated during the fusion process."
It paused, then continued, "Although you possess the Chaos Dao Body and your cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, you are still some distance from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. With your current strength, forcibly fusing with the fragments may very well result in a backlash from the fragments' power, leading to your complete annihilation."
Su Han's expression changed. He had thought that collecting all five fragments would complete his mission, but he hadn't expected such a limitation. He was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, three minor realms away from the peak. Although it seemed like only three minor realms, each minor realm of the Nascent Soul stage required decades or even hundreds of years of arduous cultivation to break through. There was an old saying in the cultivation world: "Nine Heavens of Nascent Soul, each level a ascent to the heavens." The difficulty of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was universally acknowledged by all cultivators.
But now, does he have that time? How long can the seal of the Netherworld Abyss hold? Can he break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage before the seal breaks?
Moon Fairy also realized the seriousness of the problem, and her expression became solemn. She looked at Su Han, hesitant to speak.
Xuanbinglong continued, "Moreover, fusing fragments requires not only cultivation level, but also a powerful divine sense and a firm will. The fusion process is extremely painful, not physical pain, but a tearing and reorganization at the soul level. If one's will is not firm enough, one will suffer a mental breakdown during the fusion process and become an idiot."
Su Han was silent for a moment, then raised his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.
“Senior Ice Dragon, I understand what you mean. But I have no choice.” Su Han’s voice was calm and firm. “The seal of the Netherworld Cold Abyss may break at any time. I don’t have time to slowly cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Even if there is only a sliver of hope, I will try.”
Xuanbinglong looked at Su Han and remained silent for a long time.
"Alright," Xuanbinglong finally said, "Since you're so determined, I won't stop you. But I have a suggestion for you—don't rush to fuse the fragments. Go back first and find your Supreme Elder. He should know how to minimize the risks of fusion. Perhaps he has a way to help you improve your cultivation." Su Han clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Ice Dragon."
Xuanbinglong nodded and said, "Alright, you should go now. Xuanbing Valley is not a place to stay for long. The longer you stay here, the more cold energy will accumulate in your bodies, and the greater the damage to your cultivation will be."
Su Han and Fairy Yuehua bowed to the Xuanbing Dragon again, then turned and left the ice cave.
The moment Su Han stepped out of the ice cave, he felt that the cold outside was not as intense as inside. He took a deep breath and led Fairy Moon back the way they had come.
It took them about an hour to get to the ice cave on their way there, but it was much faster on their way back, taking only half an hour to get out of the Xuanbing Valley.
The moment Su Han stepped out of the canyon, he felt the whole world warm up. Although it was still a world of ice and snow outside, compared to the extreme cold inside the Xuanbing Valley, the temperature here was already "warm as spring."
Su Han took out a communication jade slip from his storage ring and infused it with spiritual power. The jade slip lit up, and after a moment, the voice of Master Wan Jian came from within.
"Su Han? You got the fragment?"
“We got it, Uncle-Master Wan Jian,” Su Han said, “but we’ve encountered a problem.”
"What's the problem?"
Su Han relayed Xuanbinglong's words.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the jade slip before Wan Jian Zhenren's voice rang out again: "You all come back first. I will inform the Supreme Elder immediately. This matter needs to be discussed carefully."
"Yes, Martial Aunt." Su Han put away the jade slip, turned to look at Fairy Moonflower, "Martial Aunt, let's go."
Moon Fairy nodded.
Su Han channeled the power of chaos, condensing it into a golden light beneath his feet, which carried him and Fairy Yuehua into the air, flying south.
A golden ray of light pierced the sky, leaving a dazzling trail across the vast snowfield. Su Han stood in front, shielding Fairy Yuehua from the wind and snow. Fairy Yuehua leaned against his back, closed her eyes, and felt the warmth emanating from him.
Along the way, she had become increasingly reliant on Su Han. Not just in terms of strength, but also emotionally. Every time she faced danger, Su Han was there to protect her; every time she was injured, Su Han healed her wounds; every time she felt despair, Su Han gave her hope. (End of Chapter)
