Looking at Shaoming in my arms, I felt a sense of guilt for the first time.
Since I became a Judge, my attitude towards life had become increasingly indifferent. After all, the more dead people I encountered, the less I valued human life. There had been deaths before me, and just a few moments ago, when those soldiers were drained by Blood Cultivation and died in front of me, I didn't even feel a ripple of emotion.
But this time was different.
When Fox Fairy Grandmother had Shaoming bow to me and call me master, I hadn't taken it seriously at all. However, when I suddenly felt the connection between Shaoming and me severed, I couldn't help but panic. I even impulsively rushed into what could be someone else's lair.
Shaoming seemed to have lost quite a bit of blood; her skin had begun to dry out, and her face was pale without a hint of color.
I took off my Azure Flower Robe and wrapped Shaoming in it while slowly channeling my Azure Mana into her body.
The Azure Flower Robe flickered with Azure brilliance. This robe could only unleash its magic when combined with the three Azure Flower points in my Dantian. Although it was currently enhanced by my magic, its effectiveness was not as great when draped over Shaoming.
However, compared to ordinary golden mana, my Azure Mana was clearly more suitable for healing. Yet, Shaoming's injuries were not severe; the more critical issue was her significant blood loss.
"This won't do; Shaoming has lost too much blood. If we don't replenish it soon, she won't last much longer," Pixiu said.
"Pixiu," I called out.
"Yes?" Pixiu replied, confused.
"Help me with something."
"What do you need?"
"Give me a drop of your Essence of Blood," I said calmly.
"What are you planning to do?"
"My blood is ordinary and likely won't help Shaoming, but your blood is too potent. If you give me a drop of your Essence of Blood, I can refine it and then give it to Shaoming," I explained my thoughts to Pixiu.
"Can you bear my blood, or will you just bear it for Shaoming?" Pixiu also became serious and said to me.
"If I can't bear it, then you can inject the blood from my corpse into Shaoming's body. Don't worry, I am Judge; even in the Underworld, there will be a place for me."
"Think carefully," Pixiu looked at me and said, "the Underworld is not the same as the human world. Even if they can give you a new body, it won't work; at least your current cultivation will be completely wasted."
"It's fine; I might not even die," I said as I pulled back the cuff on my arm, revealing my wrist. In my other hand, I held the Wakizashi I had used earlier. A cold light flashed as I made a cut on my wrist.
"Sigh." Pixiu sighed and said, "Alright then."
Pixiu shook its head, activated its magical form, and transformed back into that divine beast. At the same time, a Purple Gold horn appeared on Pixiu's head.
A drop of fine Purple Gold blood gradually formed at the tip of the horn.
Previously, it was very difficult for demon clans to produce a drop of Essence of Blood, but this did not include divine beasts like Pixiu. After all, they possessed top-tier bloodlines, so Essence of Blood does not affect the foundation of divine beasts.
As that drop of Purple Gold blood appeared in the air, an incredibly powerful pressure descended upon me. This pressure was even more exaggerated than the combined pressure of Pixiu and Luan. Although Pixiu is a divine beast, its strength is not particularly outstanding; however, its Essence of Blood is different. The pressure hidden within Pixiu's Essence of Blood contains the might of the divine beast Qilin, making it greater than Pixiu itself.
"Have you really thought this through?" Pixiu looked at me and said, "There is no turning back now."
"What is there to be afraid of?" I replied. "It's just a life."
I had made up my mind; Shaoming's condition was partly my responsibility. Moreover, if this could succeed, it would be beneficial for me as well.
Pixiu seemed to have made a decision and resolutely let a Blood Drop fall onto my wound.
As soon as the Essence of Blood dropped down, it merged with my blood. At that moment, a burning sensation that connected with my soul engulfed my entire body.
"Ah!!!!" I cried out in pain.
This was not just simple pain; it felt like my soul was trembling. It was akin to pouring salt into a wound or hammering nails under one's fingernails—nothing could compare to that feeling. If I had to describe this pain, it would be like having a hole opened in my scalp and pouring mercury inside until all the skin separated from the flesh. Then forcibly peeling off all the skin while simultaneously sprinkling salt all over my body. When the blood was almost absorbed by the salt, throwing this bloody mess into a vat of strong liquor while someone on the side added chili sauce to the alcohol.
"Hiss," two drops of fresh blood slowly flowed from my eyes; this was a sign that my eyeballs were extremely congested. I could no longer make any sounds; the earlier 'hiss' was the sound of blood melting my skin. At the same time, white smoke began to rise from my body.
Along with the white smoke came a burning smell! After merging with Pixiu's Essence of Blood, my blood actually became comparable to sulfuric acid!
I can no longer control the raging sensation in my body; I am on the brink of a soul collapse. Even the Azure Flame within my Dantian has dimmed to the point of nearly extinguishing, leaving only a faint Azure flicker.
I regret my decision. I should have worn the Azure Flower Robe before attempting to merge with the Essence of Blood; at least the Daoist Robe would have helped suppress it somewhat. But I didn't think of that earlier, and now I'm suffering the consequences.
At this moment, an old Taoist suddenly snapped his fingers and exclaimed, "Not good!" In the next second, he vanished from his spot.
Yin Zheng'an had lost consciousness, his body resembling a piece of burning charcoal, emitting white smoke and a charred odor. Pixiu was anxious but could do nothing to help; he could only watch closely as Yin Zheng'an suffered.
Suddenly, Pixiu felt as if he had been struck by a tremendous force and was sent flying backward, only to find that he could no longer see the scene before him.
"Restriction?" Pixiu exclaimed in shock. Although his strength was not high, as a divine beast, his vision was broad. He immediately realized that this Restriction was even more profound than the Dry Earth Formation that had previously trapped him!
An elderly figure appeared behind Yin Zheng'an, completely unfazed by the intense heat radiating from him. The figure reached out a hand and pressed it against Yin Zheng'an's back.
The hand pressing against Yin Zheng'an's back suddenly exerted force, and a surge of mana identical in color to Yin Zheng'an's own flowed into his body.
I felt as if I were a skewer being roasted, with flames akin to True Fire doing the cooking. The roasting technique was quite skillful; it made me feel immense pain without completely charring me.
So be it; I was indeed reckless. Clearly lacking absolute confidence, I made a decision in anger, and now I've finally faced retribution. I mocked myself; well, this means Uncle Xing's work here will basically not require me anymore. After saving Shaoming, I'll let her take over for me. If Yama King is still willing to let me serve as a Judge there, I can live off my position doing nothing. If I can't serve under Yama King anymore, then I'll exchange my Merit for a rebirth into a wealthy family. In my next life, I certainly don't want to be separated from my parents.
"You brat! Want to die? Did you ask for my permission?" A voice filled with restrained anger echoed in my mind.
Pervert! I never expected that even on the brink of death, I would still hear his voice. Master, I am an unfilial disciple who has not lived up to your expectations. When you look for another disciple next time, please don't choose someone as foolish as me.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Pervert's voice rang out again. "I still have many things to teach you! And what about my ham? Do you think you can just buy it without compensation?"
A stream of cool energy suddenly flowed into my body, lowering my scorching temperature by several degrees.
"Master," I managed to squeeze out those words from my parched lips; it was already my limit.
"Return to your essence and merge yin and yang within yourself; stabilize your spirit within your core and let your energy flow like a dragon!" Master’s voice resonated once more.
This is the mantra I use while practicing the Taiji Diagram.
I quickly acted according to the voice's instructions, allowing the clear stream that surged into my body to follow the trajectory of the Taiji Diagram. First, I drew a continuous circle within my body, then divided the clear stream into two paths of Yin and Yang. One path embraced the energy and returned to its origin, while the other focused the spirit in the center, intertwining the two streams into an irregular shape.
Next, I transformed this shape into a perfect continuous trajectory.
The Taiji Diagram began to operate within me again, gradually suppressing the high temperature in my body. At the same time, the color of my blood started to change slowly.
My blood was normally bright red, but now it began to mix with Purple Gold. It wasn't very obvious, but upon closer inspection, one could see tiny specks of Purple Gold like stars.
"Concentrate your mind, calm your spirit in the spring, traverse the great path, and achieve the sacred fruit of the golden body!"
Master's voice became clearer, and at the same time, he issued another command. If it were someone else, they would definitely not understand what Master meant by this phrase. However, as his disciple, I quickly grasped his meaning.
The first two sentences instructed me to draw my mind back into my consciousness, while traversing the great path referred to my main meridians within my body. The sacred fruit of the golden body represented my Heart; I needed to allow the new blood generated within me to pass through my Heart and store any excess blood vessels there.
But how could it be so easy?
