Chapter 1111: Healing (2) |
As he dispelled the invading energies and repaired the damage, Xu An’yu’s complexion visibly improved, and even his withered body began to plump up again.
Seeing this, Liu Weichao couldn’t help but burst into tears. He had truly feared he’d have to bury someone he saw as his own child. That would plunge the dragon race into chaos, letting opportunists seize control, and casting the race’s future into darkness.
When he looked at Tang San again, his eyes were full of fervent admiration. He still didn’t know what that white energy was, but he could sense the presence of incredibly high-level Laws within it. It was something he had never seen in his life, and to be able to suppress both extreme yin and extreme yang, it had to be something truly extraordinary.
Instinctively, he attributed this mysterious power to the legacy of the Ancestral Tree. In his view, only the Ancestral Tree would be worthy of such energy. No wonder this Jin Miaolin could defeat his disciple and rank even higher among the Crown Princes. So this was the real depth of his foundation! During the competition, Liu Weichao had watched every match, and he knew for an absolute fact that Tang San had never used this kind of energy.
Tang San didn’t extract all of the yin-yang energy in Xu An’yu’s body at once; firstly, because Xu An’yu’s body might not withstand it, and secondly, because Tang San couldn’t absorb so much all at once either. Removing and absorbing it gradually was not only safer but even more beneficial than cultivating at the Sunborne Sacred Mountain or the Earthshade Sacred Mountain. After all, this was pure yin and yang energy, of the same caliber that the two Emperors could produce. It was immensely nourishing to his Chaos Blue Silver Emperor. He could already faintly feel that, stimulated by this energy, the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor was slowly inching toward the threshold of the twelfth order.
Time ticked by, and Xu An’yu’s condition steadily improved. His aura grew calmer and heavier. As a dragon belonging to one of the most powerful clans of his race, his innate regeneration was terrifying. With the unbearable yin-yang energy being purged, his own healing factor began to show.
Three hours later, he finally opened his eyes.
At first, he was disoriented. Reflexively, he tried to move, but a large hand held him still.
“Don’t move. His Majesty Jin Miaolin is healing you,” came a familiar elderly voice that immediately calmed his spirit.
A complicated expression flickered in Xu An’yu’s eyes. He sighed softly and closed them again.
Another hour passed. When the last thread of yin-yang energy was drawn into the droplet of chaos energy, Tang San finally withdrew his hands. He looked a bit pale and stumbled slightly. Liu Weichao quickly supported him.
Tang San smiled faintly and said, “I did my best. I believe it’s all been removed.”
The Grand Elder choked with emotion. “I will not thank you; there are no words in any language that would allow me to express my gratitude. All I can say is… Your Majesty, from now on, you and the Blue Gold Tree clan shall be our eternal allies. The dragon race will spare no effort to protect your people, no matter the cost.”
Tang San nodded, then turned to the bed and noticed that Xu An’yu had reopened his eyes. Though he still looked weak, his condition had markedly improved thanks to the high-level life energy Tang San had provided him.
“Brother Jin, I owe you everything.” Xu An’yu gave a bitter smile. He sat up slowly, then stood with difficulty and gave Tang San a deep bow.
Tang San said, “Alright, alright, leave this stuff for later. First meditate for a bit. The life energy I’ve injected into you should be enough to replenish your losses. With a bit of time and care, you’ll be back to your peak soon, and there shouldn’t be any lasting damage.”
“Excellent. That’s truly excellent.” Liu Weichao was overwhelmed with emotion. Xu An’yu’s life meant more to him than his own.
“Alright. Then I won’t stand on ceremony. Let’s speak more later.” Xu An’yu sat cross-legged on the bed and began circulating his bloodline power and tending to his remaining injuries.
With Liu Weichao’s support, Tang San also sat down on a nearby sofa. He said to the Grand Elder, “Please don’t announce Xu An’yu’s recovery just yet. Just say I’m using life energy to stabilize him, and that he’s alive but still in poor condition.”
The Grand Elder’s eyes lit up. He instantly understood Tang San’s intentions and nodded. “Very well. I know what to do. Your Majesty, truly, we are….”
“Please, you really don’t have to be so formal. Xu An’yu is a good friend of mine, and our clans are allied now. Supporting each other is only natural.”
While the Grand Elder went out to reassure the other dragons, Tang San also sat in meditation. In truth, was he truly weakened? Of course not. His body had never felt better. Absorbing such massive amounts of yin-yang energy was immensely nourishing to the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor.
The energy he had absorbed had yin and yang in near-perfect balance; that was the only reason someone had been capable of sealing it within a divine item. With all that energy absorbed, he could trigger his Emperor tribulation right now if he so chose. Of course, he had no such intentions. But since the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor was the foundation of all his bloodlines, its improvement would have a direct effect on all of them as they evolved.
He continued circulating and processing the yin-yang energy, condensing more chaos energy, which in turn nourished all his bloodline brands.
His first task for the time being was to consolidate all his bloodline abilities, using the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor as the core. Together with the Sea God’s Trident and the Spacetime Lighthouse, which would become a second transcendent divine item in the future, everything would be prepared for the moment he ascended. At that time, all his bloodline imprints would become the powers of the Sea God, and he would truly reclaim his divine seat.
All his cultivation efforts were thus focused on this task.
Just now, while healing Xu An’yu, he had absorbed the Radiant Dragon bloodline power, filling the last spot for a bloodline imprint. Thanks to his life energy and his understanding of holy energy, he had been able to instantly transform it into a Holy Radiant Dragon bloodline imprint, even before Xu An’yu himself had reached that stage. And with the help of the recently produced chaos energy, it had directly reached the peak of the eleventh order.
Holy energy was common in divine realms but exceedingly rare in mortal realms. Only those most favored by a plane could cultivate it. It would be a great asset when facing his upcoming tribulation.
