Obtaining New Life

Yi Yun had no choice but to take a gamble. He held his breath and lay hidden in the magma, as inconspicuous as an ordinary stone.

At the same time, he used the Purple Crystal to suppress all the energy in his body, especially the energy fluctuations of the red lotus, which were covered by the layers of Purple Crystal.

As Yi Yun completely concealed his aura, he even reduced his Protective Vital Energy to the point where it only remained on the surface of his skin.

The burning sensation continued to penetrate his skin. Even though the Purple Crystal was absorbing the yang toxins, Yi Yun's skin was still being burned raw by the lava.

Despite the excruciating pain, Yi Yun didn't move an inch.

As Yi Yun fully submerged into the magma, the Three-legged Monster Bird spread its wings and swept across the canyon where Yi Yun was, its sharp eyes scanning the magma canyon.

At this moment, the Three-legged Monster Bird was extremely agitated. It was so eager to find the lost Red Lotus that it had no interest in chasing the fleeing Giant Turtle.

With its simple intelligence, the Three-legged Monster Bird deduced that some creature had stolen the Red Lotus while it was fighting the Giant Turtle.

After Yi Yun used the Purple Crystal to conceal his aura, the Three-legged Monster Bird ultimately failed to detect Yi Yun. It flew over the lava canyon, and its pent-up anger transformed into bursts of pure yang energy. Wherever it passed, large amounts of rocks were destroyed, and the already devastated Fusang Forest became even more horrific.

Yi Yun drifted downstream for quite a while until his energy was exhausted again, at which point he finally surfaced.

The magma was incredibly hot. In just a short while, many parts of Yi Yun's body were charred, and blood was gushing from his cracked skin.

Ignoring his injuries, Yi Yun hurriedly swallowed a Savage Bone Relic and ran down the mountain along the rock wall. In his Energy Vision, Yi Yun saw the Three-legged Monster Bird begin to fly away, so he didn't have to dive into the magma to suffer.

Throughout the run, Yi Yun used the Purple Crystal to seal off any fluctuations of his vital energy. In this way, the Three-legged Monster Bird's killing intent never again touched Yi Yun.

This made Yi Yun suspect that the Three-legged Monster Bird could sense the location of the Red Lotus through energy sensing or some mysterious connection unknown to him; otherwise, it wouldn't have come straight here in the first place.

"I've already put the red lotus away. Will it still be able to sense it?"

Yi Yun was secretly surprised. Wild beasts, especially powerful ones, contain mysterious power and have abilities beyond his comprehension. This was not surprising. This made Yi Yun secretly fearful. The Three-legged Monster Bird had some kind of feeling for the red lotus. If it weren't for the Purple Crystal shielding it, he really wouldn't dare to predict the outcome.

Just to be on the safe side, Yi Yun, carrying Hong Lian, ran for over a thousand miles in one go.

Here, Yi Yun saw a tall, continuous mountain range covered with lush, verdant vegetation. This was a primeval forest formed over countless millennia, with layers upon layers of branches and leaves that blocked out all sunlight.

If someone sneaks into this place, finding them again is truly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Yi Yun darted into the forest like a nimble cat, weaving through the trees and quickly reaching a deep canyon.

This canyon is shrouded in mist year-round and has extremely lush vegetation, making it an excellent place for seclusion.

Yi Yun chose the depths of the canyon, drew his Crimson Blood Red Lotus Saber, and with a flash of light, Yi Yun slashed repeatedly, quickly carving a passage through the ground.

Yi Yun blocked the entrance to the passage with a large stone, and then took out several array plates that he had exchanged in Tai'a Divine City to set up Illusion Formation. These Illusion Formation were more than enough to deceive wild beasts.

After digging all the way, Yi Yun arrived deep underground, where he carved out a stone chamber about ten zhang in size.

Thus, Yi Yun found himself in a completely enclosed underground cave, and he used Purple Crystal to isolate the energy fluctuations within the cave, so he no longer needed to worry about safety.

Here, Yi Yun first quietly meditated and regulated his breathing to heal his injuries. After half a day, when he had fully recovered, he took the medicine box containing the red lotus out of his Space Ring.

The medicine box containing the red lotus is no ordinary item; it was originally the reliquary used by the Shentu Family to contain the Empress's relics.

The Shentu Family used Primordial Purple Gold and commissioned a top-tier Weapon Refiner to forge this box. It can be said to be priceless, but... after Yi Yun nearly killed Shentu Nantian, this precious relic box also fell into Yi Yun's hands.

With the Primordial Purple Gold medicine box present, the medicinal properties of the red lotus will not be diminished in the slightest.

Yi Yun took a deep breath and opened the medicine box.

A dark red light suddenly emanated from it.

In the dark cave, the red lotus blazed like fire.

Yi Yun was deeply moved. The red lotus lay quietly on the silk satin inside the medicine box. Each petal seemed to be carved from red crystal, with clear patterns and a faint golden hue.

Its roots and stems, like jade or glass, appear even more radiant in the darkness.

After the red lotus appeared, the temperature inside the cave rose rapidly, and the still damp soil around it was quickly dried.

Yi Yun hesitated for a moment, but in the end he closed the Primordial Purple Gold medicine box. This red lotus was well preserved, and he was a little reluctant to eat it.

He planned to eat the red lotus seeds first.

For Yi Yun now, even a tiny bit of this level of rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would be enough for him to digest and absorb.

With a flick of his right hand, Yi Yun took out the lotus seeds he had obtained from the strange bird's nest. These lotus seeds had been soaked in the heart blood of wild beasts for an unknown period of time, and the Pure Yang Power within them might even awaken the Golden Crow bloodline in the Three-legged Monster Bird.

If a treasure of this caliber can have such an incredible effect on such a powerful wild beast, then the benefits it can bring to Yi Yun are unimaginable!

"I wonder to what extent my strength will improve this time..."

Yi Yun looked at the lotus seeds brimming with vital energy and gently exhaled. He didn't rush to swallow the lotus seeds, but instead first activated the <Tai'a Sacred Law>.

Pure Yang Vital Energy flowed through Yi Yun's meridians, and Yi Yun aura rose layer by layer. The <Tai'a Sacred Law> circulated through one cycle after another. The phantom of Tanggu Fusang Tree appeared and disappeared behind Yi Yun, and the Golden Crow Totem also emerged, flickering in and out of focus behind Yi Yun.

All these energy fluctuations were isolated by the Purple Crystal.

At this moment, Yi Yun was like a piece of jade hidden deep within a mountain, shining in the darkness.

With everything prepared, Yi Yun had a thought, and a lotus seed, drawn by the primordial energy, flew into Yi Yun mouth.

The lotus seed immediately transformed into a pure stream of Pure Yang Vital Energy upon entering the mouth.

The feeling was like swallowing a mouthful of pure magma.

The magma flowed down Yi Yun's throat and into every part of his body!

Yi Yun's skin instantly turned bright red!

His veins were visible beneath his skin, shimmering with red or gold light.

Two shimmering crimson-gold glints appeared in Yi Yun's eyes. He looked as if he were about to burst into flames from his body and turn to ashes.

This Pure Yang Vital Energy is too pure! Too powerful!

"Buzz--Buzz--"

The Pure Yang Vital Energy surged immensely, like a raging sea of fire, and began to scorch Yi Yun's body.

Yi Yun was like a sword placed in a raging fire, burning red-hot!

Yi Yun suppressed the violent Pure Yang Power. Sweat poured from his body and evaporated immediately, and his lips slowly cracked, but his eyes revealed excitement.

The feeling of being Pure Yang Fire is incredibly painful, yet extremely pleasurable!

Just like drinking a glass of strong liquor, if it's going to burn, let it burn even more fiercely, Yi Yun will take advantage of this raging fire to hone himself into a fine sword!

Instead of protecting his dantian, Yi Yun continued to absorb the Pure Yang Power, letting it burn him.

Yi Yun's meridians were constantly cracking and even showed signs of breaking. The importance of meridians to martial artists is self-evident, and once they are damaged, they are very difficult to repair. Even consuming many rare and precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures cannot fix them. Therefore, martial artists cherish their meridians as much as birds cherish their feathers.

But now, Yi Yun is using such a brutal method to forge it!

The burning pain in his meridians made Yi Yun's mouth twitch; they were being burned off one by one, a horrifying sight.

Yi Yun clenched his fists, panting heavily. This wasn't enough!

He opened his mouth, flicked his finger, and the second blood lotus seed flew into his mouth!

The forging of a fine sword is a process of countless hammer blows; stopping halfway will only lead to failure!

Before the first wave of energy could be absorbed, the second wave surged in like a tidal wave. Under such a fierce impact, more and more of Yi Yun's meridians were broken.

Yi Yun's eyes were bloodshot, and the Pure Yang Power within his body was accumulating and expanding!

But... that's not enough!!

Yi Yun gritted his teeth, grabbed a handful of lotus seeds—seven or eight in total—and stuffed them into his mouth. He was forging his divine sword with fierce fire, making this his final gamble!

After swallowing seven or eight lotus seeds, a terrifying surge of Pure Yang Power erupted!

Yi Yun dared to be so reckless because he had the Purple Crystal in control of the overall situation. However, even so, when the pure Pure Yang Power, which was like a landslide and a tsunami, erupted, Yi Yun's physical body could not withstand it and began to collapse!

The meridians were scorched, turning a charred black color, as if they would turn to ashes at the slightest touch.

Yi Yun trembled all over, and boundless heat gushed out from every acupoint and pore of his body. This gushing heat carried steaming blood, so much so that Yi Yun now appeared to be shrouded in a layer of blood mist, a truly terrifying sight.

Yi Yun gritted his teeth. He felt his consciousness gradually leaving his body, and he could only hold on to the last bit of clarity in his mind to keep it from being extinguished.

As time passed, in a state of blurred consciousness, Yi Yun had no idea how much time had gone by. He felt as if everything around him had drifted away, and he could only vaguely feel the Purple Crystal, carrying a slight coolness, gently spinning within his heart.

As he felt himself nearing death, a faint warmth slowly began to emerge from the deepest part of his being.

This warm current is full of vitality; it's like spring water formed after the ice and snow melt, bringing new life wherever it goes!

"Click click click!"

As this warm current flowed through Yi Yun's charred meridians, they began to crack, and layers of black skin peeled off and were washed away by the warm current.

After the dark skin peeled off, sections of smooth, jade-like new veins were revealed underneath...

More and more black skin peeled off, and this black skin, along with impurities, was expelled from Yi Yun's pores, soon making Yi Yun's body sticky.

In the past, when Yi Yun Marrow Cleansing, his body would also expel black, viscous substances, but this time it was completely different.

The viscous substance used to be just impurities in the body, but this time it was old fragments of the meridians. Yi Yun's meridians have been completely renewed without him even realizing it!

Those newly formed meridians, intertwined and extending, are like the most beautiful jade coral. They are wider than the original meridians and can hold more energy.

Along with Yi Yun's dantian, a strange change also occurred. The dantian became wider, and the energy within it condensed together, becoming crystal clear.

Pure Yang Fire is Power of Destruction, but after destruction comes rebirth.

Wildfires burned the grasslands, but in the early spring of the following year, the seeds beneath the scorched earth sprouted into even greener new grasses.

Birth and death are inherently intertwined and inseparable.

At that moment, Yi Yun suddenly had an epiphany: his body had been reborn, a complete transformation.

This rebirth after destruction is the essence of pure Yang.

Pure Yang Body!

I have finally obtained Pure Yang Body!

This is -- a perfect Pure Yang Body!!
