Chapter 457 - 232: Heaven Blesses the Spirit Origin, Water and Fire United to Cultivate the Dao Seed (2)
"Greetings, Master!"
Wei Shuke, being a person of exceptional intelligence and sensitivity, immediately knelt and kowtowed without any hesitation upon hearing Zheng Yi’s words, acknowledging Zheng Yi as her master.
She was acutely aware of her current situation, having lost the protection of her grandfather, Wei Xu; in her frail condition, she could not defend herself.
The Wei Mansion would eventually become a feast for others, and staying there was a mistake.
Now, this mysterious entity appeared and was willing to take her as a disciple, with her grandfather’s approval; this was the best choice for her.
Not only could she escape her current predicament, but it could also lead her on the path to immortality, finding a new support and foundation.
"Very well!"
Zheng Yi nodded and continued, "In that case, find a quiet chamber first, so I can help you refine the elixir pills!"
His cultivation was so advanced, his divine soul so perceptive, that nothing could escape his notice. Naturally, he could see that the innate cold qi within Wei Shuke was reaching a terrifying level and was on the verge of erupting.
It was imperative to first take the elixir pills to neutralize the innate cold qi, turning decay into miracle, to ensure her survival.
...
Crack!
Crack!
In the chamber, Wei Shuke sat in the center, the cold qi permeating continuously from her body, instantly forming layers of ice crystals around her. Her ice skin and jade bone turned her delicate face pale, spreading outwards.
Her brow furrowed slightly, showing the immense pain of this transformation, but her innate strength allowed her to endure, preventing it from disturbing her spirit.
At this moment, the cold qi accumulated deeper and finally reached its zenith.
"It’s time!"
Zheng Yi spoke in a low voice.
In that instant, his eyes erupted with divine light, seeing through flesh and blood, he perceived the changes within Wei Shuke.
As his words fell, suddenly, a blue light surged from Wei Shuke’s body, and an overwhelming, chilling cold spread instantly.
Wherever it passed, the blue light stained the surroundings, freezing everything with cold ice qi.
Under some invisible force’s guidance, the crystal clear ice crystals scattered and floated throughout the chamber, refracting a dazzling spectrum of colors under the light.
"The innate cold qi has erupted!"
Zheng Yi’s gaze turned solemn at that moment.
Instantly, Wei Shuke’s frail body could no longer move an inch, sitting rigidly as blue ice slowly formed over her.
She seemed like a frozen snowman, her visage strikingly clear, with chilling cold continuously emanating from her brow.
Zheng Yi dared not delay, grabbing the Three-Transformed Celestial Yang Pill with his right hand, which unleashed a golden light like a cocoon, swirling rapidly around.
The strong medicinal properties emitted, illuminating the chamber, felt like warm sunlight on one’s body, directly countering the cold invasion.
Subsequently, the gold and red elixir pill transformed into a flame in his palm, condensing into a cluster of medicinal energy, yet not dispersing, extracting its essential medicinal origin.
With a casual wave, the medicinal energy flame hovered above Wei Shuke’s forehead, instantly enveloping her head in warmth, preventing the erupting cold from invading her mind and divine soul.
Once the cold qi fully erupted into her mind and soul, even with all his abilities, Zheng Yi would not be able to save her.
"Heaven and Earth Spiritual Origin, protect the self!"
Zheng Yi’s gaze was profound as he manipulated a finger technique, suddenly causing an orange flame to flicker in the chamber, emanating a faint warmth without intensity.
It directly enveloped Wei Shuke’s body, slowly surging into her, progressively rising, neutralizing the erupting cold qi while gently thawing the frozen organs.
This immediately triggered a strong instinctive response in Wei Shuke’s body.
Thump, thump!
Under the stable medicinal fire energy’s nullification, the innate cold qi erupted from within Wei Shuke was effectively suppressed, not utterly destroying her body and various organs.
During this process, Zheng Yi exercised extreme caution. As the formidable medicinal properties of the Three-Transformed Celestial Yang Pill erupted, the surging Yang power directly neutralized the cold qi, seeping into her sea of consciousness along the cold’s core.
If one could see clearly, they would notice, within Wei Shuke’s dantian, the innate cold qi origin and the medicinal origin of the Three-Transformed Celestial Yang Pill simultaneously condensing.
Clearly visible, they simultaneously transformed into a blue bead and a red bead, quickly rotating under the opposition of both energies.
Mutually symmetric in their movement, the two forces had no chance of intersecting.
"Water and Fire United!"
"It seems it’s a blessing in disguise; from now on, the path to the Purple Mansion is open, though not entirely unimpeded, facing minimal hurdles..."
Zheng Yi smiled, the accomplishment significant.
Looking closer, after the innate cold qi hidden in Wei Shuke’s body erupted, the series of changes in her physique even surprised her.
In the Immortal Realm, the population is vast and immense.
Thus, compared to ordinary mortal nations, the number of geniuses born is also staggering.
But compared to typical geniuses, certain ones seem as if favored by heaven, possessing spiritual power that, after cultivating the technique, unleashes power far beyond ordinary people.
In the Immortal Realm, water and fire are two fundamentally opposing elemental origins; once encountered, it’s usually a fight to the death.
Just as water extinguishes fire, fire burns water.
Unless under special circumstances, generally, the side with the stronger energy origin will prevail, or both will be utterly annihilated.
Yet there are always exceptions.
If the origins of water and fire can coexist within a cultivator normally, each drawing on the other, not annihilating, instead forming a peculiar symbiotic body, it would constitute a very unique spirit body.
After ongoing cultivation by the cultivator, combined with a special cultivation technique, it undoubtedly ranks as an exceptional genius, its speed of cultivation and the power the technique can unleash are unprecedented.
When such diametrically opposed energies merge, the reaction, and the profoundness of Daoist techniques, are almost doubled in enhancement.
Such a cultivator with dual, opposing energy origins is exceedingly rare.
Wei Shuke, originally possessing an Innate Extreme Yin Body, was predicted to have a short lifespan, but because of her array master grandfather, she had survived to this age, undoubtedly consuming numerous spiritual objects over time.
These spiritual object resources were not entirely depleted, instead settling within Wei Shuke’s body, until after absorbing the Three-Transformed Celestial Yang Pill, the innate cold qi that always troubled her was fully absorbed by her spirit roots, becoming purer water energy.
Regarding the Three-Transformed Celestial Yang Pill, its residual energy origin from the Heaven and Earth Exotic Species Twelve-Winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede Inner Core was also preserved, allowing the long-suppressed fire energy to be vastly released, fortuitously existing in some special state.
This follows the Heavenly Dao’s operational rules. By drawing on the origins of water and fire, the spiritual object resources settled for years in Wei Shuke’s body were fully activated, significantly enhancing both water and fire spirit roots, unexpectedly achieving a balance.
Water and Fire United, Origin Balanced!
Undoubtedly, now Wei Shuke is no longer the frail person who would fall at the wind’s touch, but a truly transformed, rare seed in cultivation.
A disciple of extraordinary talent.
Once properly nurtured, she could undoubtedly become a formidable Purple Mansion Cultivator, or perhaps, one day, even glimpse at the Core Formation level.
