Restoration
“Stop!”
Qiao Xue flew in to shield Mu Yu from Gui Ximing’s attack. Unexpectedly, the bloodlust travelled through Water Spirit when she covered him in it to travel back to her. Her eyes glowed blue as the bloodlust gradually took over her, exuding an unapproachable aura.
“Frozen Thousand Miles!”
Gui Ximing tried vanquishing the ice picks around him using his blood souls. Alas, all that he managed to do was expose them to the cold that instantly froze them. In the same vein, Qiao Xue’s skin started to freeze.
“Qiao Xue, you’re going to exacerbate Mu Yu’s injuries!” warned Xiaoshuai, slashing his way through the ice to reach Mu Yu.
“Don’t get in my way,” Qiao Xue frigidly responded, hurling ice blades at Xiaoshuai.
“That’s not your energy! Snap out of it!” Xiaoshuai snapped back, twirling his tail to disperse the cold whilst digging his way into Water Spirit to separate it from Wood Spirit.
Qiao Xue gasped as Xiaoshuai separated Wood Spirit and Water Spirit. Water Spirit’s temperature dropped, but it yearned to connect with Wood Spirit again. Nevertheless, Qiao Xue regained awareness of her surroundings, and her body temperature dropped.
“What happened? What did I do?” questioned Qiao Xue, still feeling a strong craving for battle.
“Nothing, really. You inadvertently touched Mu Yu’s bloodlust. Since it’s his energy, you couldn’t control it. It’s not your fault,” answered Xiaoshuai, dragging Mu Yu out of the warzone with Qiao Xue following behind.
Gui Ximing and Gui Bao deemed it too dangerous to pursue Qiao Xue and company since Gui Yeming already croaked. Plus, Qiao Xue exhibited the same power Mu Yu did when he murdered Gui Yeming.
Lu Xiong now resembled a body of blood, albeit not staining his clothing, as he transferred his blood over to the symbol before him. As the symbol shone brighter, Gui Yuzi’s control over Ocean Archfiend’s body was attenuated.
“Stop them!” Gui Yuzi ordered, staring at Gui Ximing and Gui Bao.
Long Yeli and E Wenmao transformed into their fiend forms to intercept Qiao Xue’s pursuers.
“Xiaoshuai, take care of Mu Yu,” instructed Qiao Xue, returning to assist her allies together with her winning fishes.
Gui Ximing and Gui Bao’s alarms calmed down upon noticing the terrifying energy Qiao Xue emitted before was no longer present.
“Let’s see… Spirit restoration pill, energy consolidation pill, nah, all useless. How did he expend all his black and white spiritual energy, as well?” mumbled Xiaoshuai, fumbling through Mu Yu’s belongings while the latter’s cultivation regressed to Spirit Severing Realm. “Ah, I forgot about Retrograde Formation. Hey, Pagoda Spirit. Yoohoo, Pagoda Spirit.”
Spirit Pagoda emerged from Mu Yu in a hazy state. “You are? You called for me?”
“Doesn’t matter who I am. Can you apply the domain energy Reverend Xuan Jizi left on Mu Yu?”
“What’s Retrograde Formation?”
“How are you stupider than me?! Wait, I’m not stupid. How are you so stupid?! He’s your current master. You need to replenish his spiritual energy shortage,” explained Xiaoshuai, pointing to Mu Yu.
“Doesn’t expended spiritual energy gradually restore itself?”
“At least you remember something. He can’t replenish his spiritual energy in this state. Qiao Xue aggravated his internal injuries again when she used Frozen Thousand Miles. Just… give him a hand already.”
“What do I do?”
“Cast Retrograde Formation! Surely you have some of Xuan Jizi’s domain ability remaining,” answered Xiaoshuai, aware that the residue energy was enough for Mu Yu since he was its reigning master.
“Oh.”
The pagoda spirit transferred white energy from her hand to Mu Yu’s dantian. At long last, his black and white spiritual energy sped up, proceeding to circulate around his body. As his breathing calmed down, his injuries started to mend – not without the stinging sensation of death qi devouring the damaged cells. The rest of the black and white spiritual energy in his dantian expanded, evolving it from a storage into yin and yang qis, both keeping each other in check. For the same reason, his meridians expanded. With the physical prerequisites met, his cultivation ascended to Body Synthesis Realm!
The energy within Mu Yu continued to increase similarly to water that finally broke out of a dam. Natural spiritual energy found itself drawn to him. Fiend-Sealing Pagoda drew spiritual qi from the ocean to transfer to Mu Yu in addition to offering its own.
