Chapter 194: Chapter 191: Awakening [Extra update for the magical conch of the Stern Master!]

A week later, within the Qingliang Imperial City thousands of miles away.

Under the watchful eyes of Gu Qingniu and Wen Xiang, Liang Yi, who had taken the Fourth-Stage Guangling Holy Powder, was gradually seeing his severely torn Divine Soul, caused by the backlash of his own sword, heal incrementally and start to recover as before.

The shattered Sea of Consciousness also finally began to slowly revive and display Vitality, no longer desolate and lifeless.

As the Holy Powder was gradually absorbed into Liang Yi’s body, his severe injuries finally began to shift toward a better state.

Above Liang Yi, three feet in the air, the Purple Mansion transformed by the effects of the Immortal Pill from the Yuan One Purple Mansion was also becoming increasingly brighter. This indicated that the injuries inside the wounded were gradually lessening, and Vitality was continuously increasing.

"Mmm..."

With a soft moan, the long-unconscious Liang Yi finally groggily opened his eyes, and after being dazed for a moment, propped himself up with one hand and sat up.

"My head hurts! Where am I?"

At this moment, Liang Yi felt as if someone had thrown a depth charge into his brain, his Sea of Consciousness constantly churning, almost painfully exploding.

A cup of sky-blue liquid was handed before his eyes, Gu Qingniu gestured for Liang Yi to drink it.

They had anticipated this situation; when the Divine Soul was in a self-protective dormant period, it would automatically cut off pain sensation, and once awakened, the intense pain originating from within would sweep back over him.

This cup of Xuan Ling Yuan Ming Liquid was specially concocted for such circumstances. It was made from the essence extracted from White Moon Spirit Wood, mixed with some other Spiritual Medicine juice.

Generally, such pain would simply pass if endured - after all, everyone is a Cultivator, and Cultivation is not always comfortable. But now, backed by the resources of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty’s treasury, being very wealthy, they directly provided Liang Yi with a complete post-injury care package, ensuring a cure for the ailments.

Liang Yi, frowning, downed the liquid in the cup in one go; it felt like a whole block of flowing ice entering his stomach, causing him to shiver subconsciously, even his eyebrows showing signs of light frosting.

After the liquid entered his stomach, a sudden coolness burst forth from the depths of his soul, rushing straight to his brain and soothing all his pain.

"What is this? It’s quite a hit," Liang Yi shook the cup in his hand and handed it back to the Maid standing by. This drink reminded him of cola and Sprite from his previous life.

"Xuan Ling Yuan Ming Liquid, specially concocted for treating various pains of Divine Soul and Sea of Consciousness, was specifically refined by me and Old Wen for your condition," Gu Qingniu explained briefly before checking Liang Yi’s injuries again.

"Your recovery is going well! We’ve mostly healed the physical injuries last week, leaving only some minor hidden injuries. The injuries to Divine Soul and Sea of Consciousness also seem to be recuperating nicely this week." Gu Qingniu clapped his hands, signalling that Liang Yi could now freely get out of bed and walk around.

"I’ve been unconscious for a week?" Liang Yi felt a bit bewildered. His last memory was still of him pointing at the sky with one hand, talking incoherently, and the next moment he was told he had been unconscious for a week.

"To be precise, one week and two days," Wen Xiang, standing behind Gu Qingniu, said with a smile. To treat this young man, the last few days had exhausted them a lot, with some complicated and troublesome injuries even requiring them to send messages to the Valley Master of Medicine Valley for consultation to treat properly.

If they were to stretch out their hands now, they would see that their hands bore marks either from being struck by lightning or injured by Sword Qi.

They still didn’t understand what was going on with this young man’s backlash, involving both Ancestor Thunder and Sword Qi; every touch they gave him seemed to provoke another hit. What was more terrifying was that while they could block the lightning strikes, the Sword Qi was impervious even to their protective Mana as Cultivators of the Sixth Realm, piercing directly into their bodies.

Later, for some unknown reason, Ancestor Thunder merged with Liang Yi’s Sword Qi, each Sword Qi attack also incorporating a strike of Ancestor Thunder, which was like a dog’s leg that couldn’t be defeated.

"This is Senior Wen Xiang, right? Thank you, Senior Wen, for joining hands with Senior Gu this time to help," Liang Yi got out of bed and respectfully bowed to Wen Xiang and Gu Qingniu.

"Ha ha, this young man is so handsome and well-mannered, I’m almost tempted to matchmake him with my granddaughter," Wen Xiang said with a kind smile, speaking to Gu Qingniu.

"It’s not to discourage you, Old Wen, but your granddaughter might not be a match for him," Gu Qingniu stroked his beard, recalling the girl studying medicine in Medicine Valley, and decided to be truthful.

At this moment, Liang Yi’s face suddenly changed, and he anxiously grabbed Gu Qingniu’s hand, asking:

"Elder, where is my junior sister? How is she?"

Gu Qingniu, noticing Liang Yi’s sudden emotional outburst, pointed numbly towards the room next door.

Dressed in plain white robes and not yet fully attired, Liang Yi thanked Gu Qingniu then rushed frantically towards the room.

"It seems it’s not a matter of being a match or not; this young man already has someone in his heart," Wen Xiang said, arms crossed, somewhat disheartened.

Wen Xiang really thought highly of the young man; not to mention his looks, nobody would dare claim to be more handsome in front of him. His talent was unparalleled, his comprehension demonic, and his Sword Dao talent was unmatched in ages, perhaps only comparable to the current Sword Child of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool. His master, Chen Hua, was still the unrivaled top expert in the world, and his junior sister, Su Youyi, had been crazily breaking the age records in every realm since she started cultivation.

With such a young man, who could point out any faults?

"Well, he’s not without faults," Gu Qingniu rubbed his chin and smiled mysteriously.

"What faults?" Wen Xiang asked curiously, eager to know more.

"He’s too devoted, just like his master," Gu Qingniu shook his head and patted his old friend’s shoulder, advising him to abandon the idea of gaining a profitable son-in-law.

"···" Wen Xiang thought of his own lifestyle, surrounded by wives and concubinates and still going out for fun every week, and fell into contemplation.

In this light, could this actually be a virtue?

"Junior sister!"

Led by a maid, upon seeing Su Youyi peacefully lying in bed, Liang Yi felt a great turmoil in his mental state.

Kneeling beside the bed, Liang Yi tightly gripped his junior sister’s right hand, looking anxiously at the two people who came with him.

"Young Hero Liang, please calm down for now. Your junior sister is very healthy physically. Her unresponsive state is due to other reasons," Wen Xiang said, observing Liang Yi’s frantic state and realizing how significant the girl on the bed was to him.

A maid, concerned that Liang Yi might catch a cold, carefully draped a brocade robe over him with a blush on her face.

Under normal circumstances, Liang Yi would have kindly thanked her. But at the moment, he was too preoccupied, just staring intently at Gu Qingniu, desperate to know what was actually going on with his junior sister.

"As for your junior sister’s injuries, they are actually significantly lesser than yours and have completely healed days ago, but..." Gu Qingniu sighed softly, revealing the real reason.

"The root cause of her continued unconsciousness is her own unwillingness to wake up; she has sealed off her Divine Soul, unwilling to accept the reality that you had already passed away."

"Your junior sister believes that you had perished at the hands of the Phantom Masked Man, and she doesn’t wish to return to a world without you."

Wen Xiang also sighed, moved by the girl’s profound feelings for her senior brother, feelings so genuine that they surpassed what ordinary people could comprehend.
