Qian Renxue Returns to Heaven Dou City
"How do you feel?" Su Cheng turned around and looked at Ah Yin, who was no longer an illusion, and asked.
Even he, relying solely on his naked eyes and Spiritual Power, without using the domain connection or the True Sight Eye, would find it difficult to detect that the other party was not a real human.
Ah Yin then used her Soul Power to conjure a Blue-Gold Palace Dress, covering her entire body and showcasing her tall and perfect figure.
After her soul completely merged with this body, the original physical form, which had no specific appearance, has now become exactly like her.
Her long, blue-gold hair reached her waist, her fair face was flawless, and her unusual blue eyes shimmered like rippling blue waves, full of tenderness.
Su Cheng was slightly taken aback by what he saw.
The now-realized Ah Yin is even more beautiful than before.
In her Soul Body, she was beautiful, but there was an unreal, ethereal quality to her, like a figure in a painting, always lacking vitality.
But now she looks exactly like a real person. Every smile and frown carries a unique charm.
"So weak..."
After hearing Su Cheng's question, Ah Yin answered softly.
His words seemed to express dissatisfaction, but his face was already full of smiles.
She hadn't been this happy in a long time.
The feeling of regaining her body filled her with a mix of emotions that were hard to describe.
It is only after truly dying once that one can truly appreciate its preciousness.
Before this, she had never imagined that she would be resurrected.
The Blue Silver Emperor's so-called "immortality" is only due to the unique characteristics of her race's emperor and her extremely strong vitality, making her difficult to kill by external forces.
However, the skill of sacrifice involves giving up all one's life and soul, which is considered "suicide."
She had never performed any sacrifices before, and she never thought she could survive.
"That's not bad." Su Cheng glanced at her upon hearing this, his voice tinged with helplessness.
"You can't expect me to remove all your muscle tissue and acupoints. I wouldn't be human, I'd be a god. You should be grateful that this body can maintain basic balance; at least you're a normal person with all four limbs intact."
Ah Yin looked up at him and said earnestly, "Thank you, Su Cheng."
"No need. As I said, you have helped me a lot during this time, and this is your due reward. Moreover, your acquisition of a physical body is also of great benefit to me."
Su Cheng waved his hand.
He can now clearly feel that his domain has an independent central hub and is no longer entirely based on the operation of the Martial Soul.
In other words, even if he doesn't use his Martial Soul in the future, he can still perfectly unleash the Five Elements Domain.
Upon hearing his answer, Ah Yin pursed her lips and said nothing more.
I lowered my head and silently felt my new body.
"You can feel it, right?" Su Cheng looked her up and down.
"As long as you are within the domain, you can freely change your form of existence, and you also possess the characteristic of 'immortality'. This physical body is essentially composed of my blood and the Plants Essence. My blood resides in my Martial Soul, while the Essence of Vegetation is connected to the foundation of the domain, allowing me to switch freely between the real and the virtual."
Ah Yin nodded.
Moreover, she could feel that her current body was able to Changqiang together with Su Cheng's domain.
She glanced again at the silent, swaying Blue Silver Emperor Sapling in the distance.
"You can leave your original body here to grow slowly. However, your existence is no longer constrained by your original body. If that seedling matures in the future, we can try to make it into an avatar for you."
Su Cheng followed her gaze and casually explained.
Then he stepped out of the valley, saying, "Let's go, let's go out and take a look."
As she approached the vicinity of Heaven Dou City, Ah Yin subtly moved, preparing to conceal herself once again as before.
But Su Cheng stopped him.
"I'll be staying at the academy for the next while. Now that you have a body, you can go out and explore on your own."
He gazed at the bustling and wide streets of Heaven Dou City in the distance.
"As long as you avoid the Martial Soul Temple, the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, and the Royal Academy, your true identity will likely not be discovered by others."
"Even if you encounter danger, it won't be a big deal. Although you can't regenerate without damage like you can in my domain, your life won't be in danger. Your Soul Core will still exist in the Longevity Sword."
"At that time, I will only need to bleed a little more to collect some Plants Essence."
"In addition, if you die outside, your soul will be as weak as if you had just woken up a year ago."
Upon hearing this, Ah Yin was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent, her expression seemingly hesitant.
She naturally had many curiosities about the world, but even more so, she was afraid of human nature and the unknown.
In the period between her initial human form and her sacrifice and death, her life consisted mostly of traveling and adventure, and she didn't interact much with strangers.
After thinking for a moment, she turned her gaze to Su Cheng, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something.
Su Cheng, observing her expression, interrupted her before she could even speak.
"Don't expect me to come with you; I have my own things to do. Besides, you always hide behind others; you'll never understand many things unless you experience them yourself."
"Then go ahead and do your thing. I don't want to experience anything. Just let me return to your Martial Soul," Ah Yin said softly, lowering her head.
Upon hearing this, Su Cheng did not speak immediately, but stopped and stared at her.
Only when the other person seemed slightly uncomfortable did he suddenly speak up, saying, "Actually, I really admire you."
Ah Yin was taken aback when she heard this.
"Although I don't think Tang Hao is worth sacrificing your life for, not everyone has the courage to face death. No, it should be said that very few people have that kind of courage."
Su Cheng's tone became unusually serious at this moment.
"Knowing you would die, you still dared to make the sacrifice. Whatever your reasons for doing so, you deserve my admiration. There is great terror between life and death; without fear, there is no courage. Tang Hao's past actions were simply due to his recklessness and ignorance, but you are different; you are truly courageous."
"To be honest, I don't know if I were in your shoes, facing a similar situation, and if I had the option to escape, I would dare to face death for the sake of my beliefs."
As he spoke, a phantom image of a sword aura rose up behind Su Cheng.
In an instant, a terrifying shadow seemed to loom over Ah Yin's heart.
The image of her death kept flashing through her mind.
"Can you feel it?"
Su Cheng glanced at Ah Yin, whose face had turned pale.
"This is my sword intent, capable of igniting fear in the hearts of all sentient beings. It is precisely because I understand the power of fear that I understand the preciousness of courage even more. I hope that you have not lost your courage because of your past death."
Ah Yin stared blankly at Su Cheng.
The other person's voice echoed repeatedly in her heart.
After a long while, her eyelids drooped slightly, and her gaze seemed to dart away.
She said softly, "Is that how you see me?"
"Do you think I need to flatter you?" Su Cheng sheathed his sword intent and said calmly.
"I also hope that you won't become like Tang Hao, a coward who only dares to seek refuge under the protection of others."
"Stop spouting your nonsense." Ah Yin's face darkened, and she said in a low voice.
She was somewhat afraid to hear what Su Cheng said.
Whenever the other person talks to her about these things, it always subtly shakes her beliefs.
The scariest thing is that she finds herself increasingly unable to refute the other person's remarks.
It was like a sharp scalpel hanging over her heart, slowly erasing the marks of the past.
Lies never hurt anyone; only the truth is a sharp knife.
Heaven Dou Imperial City, Martial Soul Temple.
This place is under the management system of the Spirit Hall on the mainland, second only to the Pope's Palace in Spirit City, and is only located in the capitals of the Two Empires.
But today, all the high-ranking and powerful members of the Martial Soul Temple, led by Platinum Bishop Salas, stood quietly in the hall waiting.
At the same time, countless guards patrolled outside the main hall, and all business related to Soul Master was suspended.
He was dressed in formal attire that he rarely wore on ordinary days. His bright red formal robe was clean and tidy, and a five-pointed platinum crown, a symbol of his status, was worn on his head.
His slender body stood straight like a javelin, his face serious. His usually drowsy eyes were now gleaming with sharp light, showing no trace of their usual dullness.
As the Hall Master of the Martial Soul Temple in Heaven Dou City, Platinum Bishop Salas's rank in terms of authority is second only to the Pope.
His actions today have left many people in the Martial Soul Temple puzzled, wondering if His Holiness the Pope had come.
To the average person, even an ordinary elder wouldn't warrant such a grand display.
After all, while the elders of the Spirit Hall are strong, they don't hold much real power, and their status within the Spirit Hall system is not higher than that of the Platinum Bishop.
Before long, the person Salas was waiting for arrived.
A young man dressed in a black Mianfu stepped into the main hall, followed by two powerful figures dressed as elders of the Spirit Hall.
His appearance was merely considered handsome, and he would only be considered above average in a crowd.
But he possesses a special quality that is hard to describe.
Despite having a gentle smile on her face, she made people hesitant to approach her.
Like a tiger that has eaten its fill and is strolling through a dense forest, even though it looks languid, it is hard not to feel fear.
"Spire Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, greets Your Highness."
When Salas saw him enter, he quickly bowed slightly in greeting.
Although few people in the lower levels of the Spirit Hall know of the existence of the person in front of him, he is clearly not among them.
As the powerful Platinum Bishop, he had a lot of influence in Spirit City.
The young man before me, though currently without a position, is a descendant of the Angel Clan and a direct descendant of Qian Daoliu. He will undoubtedly rise above all others in the future.
As a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall whose strength has reached the limit of his potential, Salas cannot be too concerned about the other party.
Seeing this, the young man nodded slightly to him and said calmly, "Bishop Salas, there's no need to be so serious. I'm only here for some personal matters. Please disperse on your own."
After everyone left, Salas led him to a relatively private meeting room, with two elders following closely behind.
"Your Highness, what brings you to Heaven Dou City?"
As he spoke, Salas felt somewhat uneasy.
Over the years, while he had lived in Heaven Dou City and had not broken any major rules, he had also done many unsavory things in minor ways. He was worried that the other party was there to investigate him.
However, the young man clearly didn't care about those trivial matters.
After taking a sip of tea, he said, "I'm going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy later, so I'll stay here for a while. It'll be easier to visit under the name of the Spirit Hall. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if the Heaven Dou Academy turned me away."
Upon hearing this, Salas secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, "That's no problem."
Then he looked at the other two Spirit Hall elders whose cultivation level was as high as Titled Douluo.
His tone was slightly hesitant, "However, these two elders..."
If the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall were to also enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the commotion would be far too great.
That place was a gathering place for a large number of noble children, and was the apple of the eye of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Adding to the fact that the Xue Qinghe incident occurred a few years ago, the royal family is now like a frightened bird. If these two go together, it is uncertain whether it will cause a big chain reaction.
The young man noticed his predicament and said calmly, "They can stay here for now. I can go over by myself later."
Salas quickly stopped him, "How can that be? Your Highness is of noble status. It would be disrespectful for you to go alone. I will accompany you."
After a moment's thought, the young man did not refuse and nodded, saying, "That's fine then, I'll trouble you Bishop."
