Clear Light Pill

The deathly aura in Gao Xian's eyes grew ever denser. In the blink of an eye, the vital energy and blood throughout his body congealed, his mana dispersed, and every trace of life was utterly severed.

Just then, a crystalline green gleam flashed deep within Gao Xian's eyes. The green light continuously divided and spread, transforming in an instant into layers upon layers of dense green Light Cocoons that wrapped around his body.

Bai Yujing watched quietly from the side. His gaze effortlessly pierced the green Light Cocoon, seeing the changes deep within Gao Xian's form and spirit.

As a sixth-rank divine pill, the Heavenly Cicada Nine Deaths Pill was refined from the cast-off shell of an Undying Heavenly Cicada. It had little effect on sixth-rank Pure Yang cultivators, but for fifth-rank cultivators, it was a divine pill capable of bringing the dead back to life.

At the instant Gao Xian's soul was shattered, the spiritual power of the Heavenly Cicada Nine Deaths Pill spread forth, preserving his soul from destruction. Once his soul had stabilized, the pill's medicinal power naturally diffused, repairing and reconstructing his form and spirit.

The most exquisite part of this process lay in the natural transformation brought about by the Heavenly Cicada Nine Deaths Pill.

The heavenly cicada was a most peculiar form of life, capable of gaining new life from death. With every rebirth, it absorbed the experience of its previous existence and made itself even stronger.

This upward natural transformation existed, in truth, in all kinds of life.

For example, when a person's bone fractured and then healed, the spot where it had once broken became somewhat stronger. This was also to prevent the bone from breaking again. Yet the effect of such upward transformation was exceedingly weak, and its ceiling extremely low.
