On a small edge planet.
Inside a temporary immortal cave.
Chen Lin sat before the jade table, while his soul entered the Grotto-Heaven Jade Pendant.
Beside the pool.
The six women stood together in a neat row, watching Chen Lin open the jade box.
Hongchen was there as well.
Chen Lin had sent everyone else outside.
"Get ready, all of you. When I give the signal, inject your origin essence force into your respective petals together to help Xiao Qingmo reincarnate."
"Understood."
The women answered in unison.
Chen Lin floated above the seven-colored flower. With a flick of his palm, fine runes flew out in rows and landed on the cyan petal.
"Now!"
At his command.
Yaochi and the others released their origin energy together, striking their respective petals. The flower trembled at once, blooming with brilliant light that bathed the entire space in dazzling colors.
"Rise!"
Chen Lin gave a low shout.
The runic inscriptions enveloped the entire cyan petal, then, like a chain, slowly pulled a wisp of cyan light out of it.
The flower kept trembling, seemingly resisting.
But under the suppression of the runic inscriptions, the light was still drawn out completely and merged, bit by bit, into the clone inside the jade box.
The flower's radiance dimmed at once.
And it slowly withered.
The clone inside the jade box, however, brimmed with increasingly vibrant life. A cyan flower pattern flickered between her brows, filling Chen Lin and the others with anticipation.
Half a tea-time later.
The clone's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Then she floated out of the jade box and landed at the edge of the pool, standing motionless with utterly blank eyes.
Chen Lin beckoned.
He retrieved all the runic inscriptions and flew down to the shore as well.
