The fact that Luo Wuxu could instill such fear in Demon Race at least at the Dao Mysterious Realm level, even after being imprisoned for a thousand years, suggests that his cultivation level back then must have been extremely formidable.
But why would such a powerful figure disappear without a trace?
Why did the Abyss-Devouring Sword end up in the Famous Sword Pavilion of Qingyang City, where Shen Zhu treated it as a black sword blank that no one wanted?
These questions remain unanswered for the time being.
However, someone who had such a prestigious reputation in the Vast Waves Domain a thousand years ago must have left behind relevant records.
After leaving the Black Wind Mountain Range, he can find an opportunity to inquire about it.
Chu Yunfei memorized the name Luo Wuxu and then put the Abyss-Devouring Sword into his storage ring.
"You brat, you still have the mind to study that sword?"
Xiaoxiao Dragon suddenly sneered, "If I were you, I'd be looking at that woman right now. If we delay any longer, you, this cheap prince consort, might really become a widower."
Chu Yunfei's heart tightened, and he immediately moved to Ling Xueyao's side.
He placed two fingers on Ling Xueyao's wrist, and a wisp of spiritual energy entered her body along her meridians.
In just a few breaths, Chu Yunfei's brows furrowed tightly.
Ling Xueyao's abdominal meridians were injured by the Green-Faced Assassin's kick, and she also had wounds on her shoulder and abdomen.
However, given her physical strength at the Eighth Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, these injuries, though severe, would not be life-threatening in the short term.
The real problem lies in the power left behind by the Blood Baleful Intent Soul-Locking Formation.
Strands of dark red blood energy have already invaded the internal organs and are spreading along the meridians towards the heart.
Ling Xueyao's spiritual power was almost exhausted, and she fell into a coma, powerless to stop this erosion.
At this rate, that power will invade the heart meridian in no more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Once the power of bloodlust enters her heart meridian, even if she survives, her foundation will suffer irreparable damage.
Chu Yunfei took out several healing pills from his storage ring, put them into Ling Xueyao's mouth, and then used his remaining spiritual power to help her refine them.
After the pill dissolved, Ling Xueyao's complexion regained a little color, but the bloodthirsty power remained unaffected.
Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice, "This power has already spread throughout the body's meridians, and ordinary pills simply cannot remove it. We must use spiritual power to guide it one by one and then refine it."
Xiaoxiao Dragon sensed his concern and said with a playful tone, "If you want to unleash all the bloodthirsty power, you must precisely unblock the acupoints along the way. It's easy to make mistakes through clothing, and in her current state, she can't afford to let you slip up."
Chu Yunfei was naturally aware of this.
Ling Xueyao's injuries were too severe, and her meridians were blocked by the power of blood evil.
The treatment process requires the refining power of the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate, while simultaneously guiding each wisp of residual power with the palm of the hand.
The slightest mistake could cause the bloodthirsty power to surge into the heart meridian.
He could only remove the other person's clothes to identify acupoints and injuries.
Chu Yunfei looked at the unconscious Ling Xueyao and felt somewhat helpless.
Not long ago in the Cangwu Mountain Range, he tore open Yan Guining's clothes in order to remove the fire poison.
They saw everyone completely naked.
After the woman woke up, she was so angry that she wanted to chase him with a sword and chop half a mountain off.
Now the same situation has arisen again, and the identity of the person before me is even more complicated.
Ling Xueyao is a princess of the Great Qian Dynasty.
If she wakes up during treatment and finds herself completely naked, she will probably find it difficult to calmly listen to his explanation.
"I hope she doesn't wake up halfway through."
Chu Yunfei muttered something under his breath, and was about to make a move when Xiaoxiao Dragon's disdainful voice rang out from his mind again.
"Are you in such a hurry to take action without even considering your own situation?"
"Your meridians are damaged in many places, several bones in your chest are broken, and your spiritual energy in your dantian is nearly exhausted. During treatment, you must continuously guide the power of blood and evil. In your current state, you'll probably collapse before you can even heal her."
Chu Yunfei paused.
He was so focused on checking Ling Xueyao's injuries that he neglected his own condition.
If their spiritual energy is depleted during treatment, the blood demonic power drawn into Ling Xueyao's body may lose control, and both of their injuries will worsen.
"Aren't there eight corpses nearby?"
Xiaoxiao Dragon's tone returned to its languid state. "Although the souls of those assassins were destroyed, their physical cultivation remains. Refining them into their essence will be enough to heal many of your injuries."
Chu Yunfei's eyes lit up, but then he felt a little embarrassed.
Concern leads to confusion.
He couldn't believe he hadn't thought of such a simple method right away.
He didn't argue with Xiaoxiao Dragon, but instead straightened up and walked towards the eight corpses.
All eight were Heavenly Origin Realm assassins trained by the Blood Baleful Intent Tower for many years.
Their cultivation level is at least at the Second Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, and the strongest are at the Heavenly Origin Realm Fifth Layer.
Although their souls were obliterated by the demonic spirit, most of their blood and spiritual power remained in their physical bodies.
"These people chased us all the way; they might still be of some use after they're dead."
Chu Yunfei supported himself on the ground and continued walking towards the corpse.
With each step, a sharp pain shot through the broken bones in my chest.
Without pausing, he walked to the side of the assassin at the Heavenly Origin Realm Fifth Layer.
The other party did not have a storage ring on them.
Chu Yunfei frowned, then checked the remaining seven people, finding only a few communication jade talismans that had lost their function.
" The Blood Baleful Intent Tower is on guard against assassins embezzling the spoils of their missions." Chu Yunfei lifted one of the men's sleeves, revealing a faint mark around his wrist. "Before setting off, they should have all handed in their storage rings, carrying only weapons and communication devices."
The items on Ling Xueyao and Chu Yunfei were both listed as mission targets by the Blood Baleful Intent Tower.
To prevent the assassins from escaping with the spoils, Blood Baleful Intent Tower had clearly made preparations in advance.
Chu Yunfei felt somewhat regretful.
The resources accumulated by the eight Heavenly Origin Realm assassins are definitely not a small amount.
However, the corpses themselves are already the greatest resource.
He reached out and placed his hand on the shoulder of the Heavenly Origin Realm Fifth Layer assassin. With a slight thought, the corpse vanished into thin air and was absorbed into the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate.
Then came the second, and the third.
Chu Yunfei collected all eight corpses into the cauldron and sat down cross-legged.
Chu Yunfei closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate.
Blue flames rose from inside the cauldron, engulfing the eight corpses of the Heavenly Origin Realm simultaneously.
The blood and qi in the flesh, the remaining spiritual power in the meridians, and the original power accumulated over many years of cultivation began to separate rapidly in the flames.
The eight assassins practiced different martial arts techniques during their lifetimes.
Some possessed cold, sinister spiritual energy, others had robust blood and qi, and two others still harbored the sinister Sha Qi left behind by the Blood Baleful Intent Tower's secret techniques.
If absorbed by an ordinary martial artist, these mixed forces would be enough to severely damage their meridians.
However, after being refined by the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate, all impurities were burned away by the azure flames.
One by one, the corpses disappeared.
The chaotic power within the cauldron gradually coalesced, eventually condensing into a drop of golden liquid the size of a thumbnail.
The golden essence floated in the cauldron, its surface devoid of any bloody odor, yet the energy it contained caused Chu Yunfei's heart to tremble slightly.
Most of the essence of the eight Heavenly Origin Realm warriors was compressed into this single drop of essence.
"It's a pity they used up a lot of their spiritual energy before they died."
Chu Yunfei felt a pang of regret.
If these assassins were at their peak, they could refine at least 30% more primordial essence.
However, with Ling Xueyao's life hanging by a thread, he had no right to be picky.
With a slight thought, Chu Yunfei drew the golden essence out of the Divine Cauldron.
As soon as the essence enters the body, it transforms into a warm energy that flows along the damaged meridians to the limbs and bones.
The previously depleted dantian quickly recovered.
A tingling sensation emanated from the broken bones in Chu Yunfei's chest. The cracks in the bones were covered by pure energy and began to slowly close.
The injured internal organs were also enveloped by a layer of gentle power, and the stagnant blood accumulated in the body dissolved.
Color gradually returned to his pale face.
His breathing also changed from weak to steady.
Just when Chu Yunfei thought that the essence of origin could only heal his injuries, the spiritual power in his dantian had been replenished, and the remaining large amount of energy did not stop, but began to attack the barrier of his realm.
To break through from the Ninth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm to the Heavenly Origin Realm, one needs to compress the gaseous spiritual energy in their dantian into a liquid state.
The first liquefaction of spiritual energy signifies that a martial artist can control their power more precisely, and their protective spiritual energy will also undergo a transformation.
Within Chu Yunfei's dantian, a vast amount of spiritual energy began to converge towards the center.
The spiritual energy was continuously compressed, and the aura became increasingly heavy.
Not long after, a crystalline glow appeared in the center of the dantian.
"There is a chance."
Chu Yunfei's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately activated the Boundless Creation Scripture.
The essential energy within the meridians flows faster, and more power surges into the dantian.
The crystalline sheen then expanded, showing signs of liquefaction.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the abyss was also drawn in.
Subtle Spiritual Qi gathered between the dimly lit stone walls.
The black gravel around Chu Yunfei trembled slightly, and a few specks of dust slowly floated into the air.
Xiaoxiao Dragon sensed the change in his aura and spoke up to remind him.
"The essence left behind by eight Heavenly Origin Realm cultivators, if exchanged for an ordinary Ninth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm, would be enough to forcefully push them into the Heavenly Origin Realm. Your dantian and qi sea far surpass those of others of the same level. If you can use this power to complete your first liquefaction, your combat strength will increase even further."
Chu Yunfei did not respond.
His entire focus was on his dantian.
That small amount of liquefied spiritual energy slowly condensed, while the surrounding gaseous spiritual energy squeezed it frantically, causing waves of throbbing pain to emanate from the dantian barrier.
Only one step remains to reach the Heavenly Origin Realm.
