It was said that only the dead could enter that place, and the Yellow Springs Other Shore, ranked second in the Record of Strange Spirits, grew there.
Planting the Yellow Springs Other Shore within the soul would form a protective barrier over it, rendering any attack targeting the soul ineffective.
"I'd better look for a Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Treasure for that instead," Xue Fuyao said dejectedly.
She had only ever heard of the Azure Heavens and Yellow Springs.
Although people said only the dead could enter, that was merely speculation. After all, they could hardly find the dead to verify whether it was true. The dead could not return to life.
The only certainty was that a place called the Azure Heavens and Yellow Springs did indeed exist in the Cultivation Realm, but no one knew how to find it or enter it.
Soon, Shijiu regained consciousness.
Upon realizing he was all right, his first reaction was to look for Xue Fuyao.
"Your Highness!" His voice carried boundless panic and remorse, and even a hint of tears.
Yet before the tears in his eyes could fall, he saw Xue Fuyao resting her chin in one hand, a cup of hot tea before her. Her unfocused gaze rested ahead, as though she were thinking about something.
Noticing the movement, Xue Fuyao withdrew her gaze and turned to Shijiu. "You're awake. Check whether you have any other injuries."
At her words, Shijiu instinctively shook his head before saying, "Your Highness, are you all right? That soul... he..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine. What you saw earlier was merely a statue."
Hearing Xue Fuyao say this, Shijiu could not help breathing a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Her Highness is all right. Otherwise...
Watching him sigh in relief, Xue Fuyao asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
