"Go on, you'll have plenty of time to study that broken Soul Tool later." Yan Shaozhe shoved the other man aside and looked at Bei Bei. "Bei Bei, does this Eye of Life have any special effects? Show us."
"You two are simply too much." Xian Lin'er and Cai Meier stepped forward and pulled them apart.
At this moment, Elder Zhuang walked over slowly and arrived at Bei Bei's side.
"Elder Zhuang." Bei Bei greeted him respectfully.
"Would you mind letting this old man sense your Eye of Life?" Elder Zhuang asked with a smile.
"Of course not." Bei Bei nodded and focused his mind. A tiny slit appeared on his forehead, and the Eye of Life slowly opened. The emerald pupil rotated gently, radiating a rich, vibrant life energy.
Seeing this, Elder Zhuang summoned his Martial Soul. A lush, ancient tree slowly emerged from behind him—it was his Martial Soul, the Tree of Life. Nine soul rings appeared, circling around him.
Elder Zhuang released a unique soul power that probed into the Eye of Life on Bei Bei's forehead.
He quickly withdrew the energy and said, "This piece of Life Gold has granted you immense benefits. It has given you at least three hundred years of lifespan, and if you can utilize it more perfectly, you could increase your lifespan by at least a thousand, or even ten thousand years."
"Really!" Bei Bei's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
As a Soul Master, who wouldn't want to break through the limit of level ninety-nine, reach level one hundred to become a god, and attain eternal life?
However, the accumulation required to break through that final level takes at least a thousand years of cultivation.
Even a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo has a lifespan of no more than three hundred years.
To ascend to godhood quickly, one needs a deity to pass down their divine position.
At this point in time, Tang San's control over the entire Douluo world was at its peak; it was basically impossible to bypass him to inherit a divine position.
Bei Bei could not bring himself to bow to Tang San; after all, at this point in time, Tang San's various underhanded maneuvers were simply speechless.
Since he could not inherit a divine position, the only path left was to create his own.
"Bei Bei, there is a connection between your light attribute and the power of life. Perhaps you can try to fuse them to create a unique and powerful force," Elder Zhuang advised.
The two sat to the side, and Elder Zhuang expounded on his profound insights regarding life force, leaving Bei Bei with a wealth of knowledge.
Evening arrived quickly.
With Xuan Zi traveling at full speed, he finally brought the Medical Immortal Douluo back before nightfall.
The members of the Sea God Pavilion recounted the sequence of events, hoping she would join Elder Zhuang in treating the injuries on Mu En's body.
Upon seeing a treasure like the Life Gold, the Medical Immortal Douluo was also quite astonished.
Her Martial Soul was the Healing Angel, capable of controlling the power of life. Through her Martial Soul, she could directly draw life energy from the air to treat patients.
With the blessing of the Life Gold, her healing capabilities could reach the level of a Limit Douluo, making it entirely possible to completely heal Mu En's injuries.
Seeing this, the group did not delay any further and immediately began the treatment for Elder Mu.
Mu En lay on a recliner made from the branches of the Golden Ancient Tree, with the Medical Immortal Douluo and Elder Zhuang standing on either side of him.
Bei Bei opened the Eye of Life on his forehead, retrieved the Blade of Life, and let it hover in front of Mu En.
The Medical Immortal Douluo summoned her Martial Soul. The once white-haired, wrinkled woman became incredibly young after her Martial Soul Possession, looking like a girl of eighteen or nineteen, with five pairs of emerald wings unfurling behind her.
Under her control, the Blade of Life emitted an unprecedentedly vast and pure life energy. Guided by her fingers, this energy slowly poured into Mu En's body.
Elder Zhuang also stood by, summoning his Tree of Life to provide support.
"Do it!"
With a roar from Xuan Zi, the Shrek members surrounding them struck in unison, precisely shattering Mu En's spine, which had bent into a right angle. They removed the deformed, fractured bones, allowing Mu En's hunched back to straighten once more.
A look of pain mixed with anticipation appeared on Mu En's face; feeling the changes in his body, he was filled with immense excitement.
The spine is a vital part of the human body, filled with dense nerves. Once damaged, a person is often left permanently disabled or paralyzed.
Moreover, Mu En possessed six sets of soul bones, and the quality of his torso bone was exceptionally high.
However, under the life force of the Life Gold, even the most severe physical damage could be healed.
Mu En's body was now like that of a normal person; his curved spine had basically returned to a straight line.
The shattered vertebrae gradually healed under the influence of the life force.
Compared to the physical injuries, the damage to his internal origin was far more troublesome.
Back then, in order to quickly recover from the injuries sustained while fighting Du Bisi of the Body Sect, Mu En had rashly absorbed the power within the Dragon Core. The baleful energy inside the Dragon Core had damaged his origin.
Beads of sweat had formed on the Medical Immortal Douluo's forehead. She gritted her teeth, her nine soul rings flashing in sequence.
She increased her control over the Blade of Life, forcing more life energy into Mu En's body to continuously wear away that trace of baleful energy in his origin.
The elders of the Sea God Pavilion also wore nervous expressions; the treatment had reached its most critical stage.
As the life energy continued to pour in, the potential within Mu En's body was gradually awakened. The stubborn, parasite-like baleful energy began to dissipate, and his injured origin was repaired bit by bit.
Time ticked away, and everyone felt the tense and heavy atmosphere.
The Medical Immortal Douluo withdrew her Martial Soul and slowly ceased her movements.
The Blade of Life above seemed drained; its emerald light dimmed as it transformed into a streak of light and dove back into Bei Bei's Eye of Life.
Even so, the life energy that had erupted—merely the portion that had leaked out—left the Medical Immortal Douluo and everyone present feeling immensely benefited.
The bottleneck in her cultivation that had blocked her for decades loosened slightly. A flash of excitement crossed her eyes; she was fully confident that she would break through to level ninety-six in the coming days!
"Great-Grandancestor, how are you feeling?" Bei Bei asked in a low voice, unable to contain his impatience.
Mu En slowly opened his eyes, sensing the changes within his body, and rose steadily from his reclining chair.
His entire frame stood incredibly straight, his aura became spirited and vigorous, his clouded eyes regained a brilliant luster, his Bloodline Power grew far more potent, and even his appearance seemed to have grown younger.
A deep, resonant aura radiated from within him, and in an instant, the surroundings seemed to transform into a golden ocean.
This aura appeared as quickly as it dissipated, and the surrounding space soon returned to its original state.
"My thanks to you all, especially you, Bei Bei. If not for this Blade of Life of yours, this old man likely would never have been able to stand straight again in this lifetime. Hahaha!" Mu En seemed to have returned to the peak of his strength from decades ago, the aura of twilight having completely faded from his body.
His cultivation, which had stagnated for decades, had advanced a step further along with the recovery of his injuries.
