Martial God Asura

“Lord Qingyuan, Palace Master, the man carrying the ax has left,” a Heavensword Sacred Palace’s elder flitted over from afar and reported. 

“I’ll be resting,” Tianjian Qingyuan said before taking her leave, not giving any response regarding Song Changsheng’s departure.

The Heavensword Sacred Palace’s Palace Master descended from the tower and berated in displeasure, “You shouldn’t approach Lord Qingyuan’s palace on your own accord. You should go through me if there is something you must report.”

“Understood,” the elder replied with a smile even though he was being lectured.

Song Changsheng’s departure had set their hearts at ease, putting them in a good mood. However, the Heavensword Sacred Palace’s Palace Master still seemed to be weighed down by worries. 

Tianjian Qingyuan’s words made her realize that the world of cultivation wasn’t as simple as she thought it out to be.

… 

In the Immemorial Massacre Sea, the woman in a white dress was still staring at space. 

Her eyes remained as they were, not undergoing any special transformation, yet she could see far beyond the range of an ordinary cultivator. 

“Milord, how is Eggy faring?” the Asura Sword asked.

“Still fine,” the woman in a white dress replied before abruptly turning to the Asura Sword. “What do you think?”

“Ah? About what?” The Asura Sword was confused.

“Chu Feng.”

“Ah. He is incapable of drawing out my true strength, but it is remarkable how he taps into my powers with his current cultivation and brittle body. His death should have been inevitable after using my power—the powers he has in him shouldn’t have been enough to save him—but he somehow survived. This shows that he is pretty resilient,” the Asura Sword replied.

“I presume you are willing to stay?” the woman in a white dress asked.

“Returning or staying, either works for me.”

“You shall stay with him then.”

“Speaking of which, I noticed the God Mother I killed isn’t the main body, and I don’t know where her main body is hiding. Do you want to help them deal with it? Otherwise, Chu Feng won’t be able to withstand her vengeance if she goes after him. Chu Feng will die if I make another move,” the Asura Sword said.

The woman in a white dress cast her eyes on a certain realm in the Divine Body Galaxy. It was neither Calmlake Upper Realm nor Golden River Upper Realm. 

Beneath the ground lay a woman who had the physique of an ordinary human. Her eyes were tightly shut, but the dried blood stains on her lips showed that she had sustained some injuries not too long ago. She lay peacefully in place as if she was unable to move. 

Her appearance was identical to the golden avatar manifested by the God Clan’s God Mother.

“Since his family members have decided to leave him to the lurch, I have no reason to interfere in his affairs. He should walk his path,” the woman in a white dress said as she retracted her gaze. 

“Whatever. It doesn’t bother me whether he dies or not,” the Asura Sword said.

The woman in a white dress smiled at those words. 

She bent down and placed her palm on Chu Feng’s forehead, fusing a mysterious surge of energy into the latter’s body. Chu Feng’s complexion visibly improved even though he remained unconscious. 

Once his vitals had fully stabilized, the woman in a white dress withdrew her palm and stood back up. 

“Milord, what about his cultivation?” the Asura Sword asked. 

The woman in a white dress didn’t reply.

“You aren’t going to fix his cultivation?” the Asura Sword asked again.

“Didn’t you say that you don’t care whether he dies or not?” the woman in a white dress asked with a faint smile. 

“Do you intend to continue using Chu Feng to torture that lass?” 

“This time, it’s a trial for Chu Feng. If he doesn’t meet the mark,” the woman in a white dress glanced at where Eggy was, “I’ll take her back to the Asura Spirit World.”

She disappeared after saying those words.

The Asura Sword also quickly returned to Chu Feng’s body.

It turned out Eggy had returned. Her footsteps were much stabler than before, but her complexion and lips had turned even paler. Her beautiful face was devoid of any redness. 

She quickly made her way up to Chu Feng. The latter was still unconscious, but his vitals were much stabler than before. That put her mind at ease, and a smile appeared on her face. 

Despite her poor complexion, her smile still looked radiant and ravishing. 

However, she soon raised her head and asked, “Why isn’t Chu Feng awake yet?”

“Even though his body is fine now, his Heavenly Lightning Bloodline remains severely impaired. Naturally, it will take some time for him to regain consciousness,” the voice echoed. 

“Is it very severe?” Eggy asked.

She had no idea what Chu Feng had been through.

“Yes, it will affect his current cultivation and future growth,” the voice replied.

“Can’t you heal him?” Eggy asked.

“I can, but it will cost a lot. You might not be willing to pay the price for it.”

“What’s the price? Tell me.”

“Stay here and nourish this land with your bloodline power for the next 100,000 years.”

“100,000 years?” 

The usually fearless Eggy was startled to hear that number. She wouldn’t falter in the face of pain and exhaustion, but being imprisoned here for 100,000 years meant that she wouldn’t be able to meet Chu Feng for 100,000 years.

That was a very long time for her. 

“I’ll give you my bloodline if you want, but can you not imprison me here?” Eggy asked.

“What I need is not your bloodline but the nourishment from your bloodline power. You can choose a shorter duration if you find it too long, but it will discount the treatment on Chu Feng’s bloodline,” the voice replied. 

Eggy spent a moment contemplating in silence before asking, “Will Chu Feng be completely healed as long as I stay here?”

“He won’t.”

“He won’t?” Eggy shot to her feet. “Even when I’ll be imprisoned for 100,000 years? Just tell me straight how long I must be imprisoned for Chu Feng to make a full recovery. Will 200,000 years be enough? How about 300,000 years? Why don’t I give my life to you?”

“He still won’t be able to make a full recovery. I can only say I’ll do my best to treat him. You can leave with him right now if you don’t find it worthwhile,” the voice said. 

“How far can you heal him?” Eggy asked.

“I’ll do my best, but I can’t make guarantees. Also, there is something you have to decide on his behalf. 

“His Heavenly Lightning Bloodline is severely impaired, but he also possesses the Ruler’s Bloodline. That is the strongest world spiritist bloodline harnessing power all world spiritists desire. I can partially awaken his Ruler’s Bloodline to heal his Heavenly Lightning Bloodline, but in return, his Ruler’s Bloodline will be weakened,” the voice said. 

“Are there other ways to heal him without depleting his Ruler’s Bloodline?” Eggy asked.

“That is the only solution,” the voice replied.

Eggy looked at Chu Feng with apologetic eyes. “Fine, I’ll decide on Chu Feng’s behalf. Let’s go with that.”

Weng!

Another spirit formation gate manifested, but it led to a different place.

Eggy looked at Chu Feng with yearning eyes, her previous conviction nowhere to be seen.
