Thirteen days later, Ye Xiu finally showed signs of waking up.
Perhaps the first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was Tang Luor, who was anxiously caring for him.
Seeing Ye Xiu awake, Tang Luor's beautiful smile bloomed like a flower.
"You finally woke up."
Ye Xiu propped himself up and suddenly noticed something was off. He stared blankly at his hands and clenched his fists…
"By the way, a big brother named Yan Changting saved you. The pill he gave you is many times better than the Revival Pill I fed you that day. This time, your injuries were much more severe. Oh, try using your spiritual power; it should have improved a lot."
"Mm."
Ye Xiu sat up and focused on his Spiritual Source. In the past, when he looked inward, he only saw a lot of chaotic white Spiritual Energy, but this time it seemed that the white Spiritual Energy had gathered into a large mass, with each vein of Spiritual Energy orderly arranged.
"This… I feel like my strength has increased significantly. Even if that dog Zhang Ran comes back now, I will definitely beat him until he can't get up."
Tang Luor giggled, "Of course, Ye Xiu! Do you know what realm you're in now?"
"So I've improved my realm; I just don’t know what this realm is called."
"Spirit Jade Realm, Ye Xiu! You've broken through to the Spirit Jade Realm, which is even higher than my realm. Some elders from various sects are also in the Spirit Jade Realm."
"Ah! How did this happen? I got injured once and ended up gaining so much strength instead."
"The Aromatic Life-Continuing Pill that Brother Changting fed you not only brought you back from the brink of death but also forcefully elevated you to the Spirit Jade Realm with its remaining potency. This pill is truly a Divine Artifact of our time."
"Yan Changting? Is he that Ancient-Dressed Man? Yes! He tricked me into joining the Seven Lives Sect. Hmph, when I find him, I will definitely confront him about it."
"He tricked you into joining the Seven Lives Sect? You know how powerful the Seven Lives Sect is, right? If you knew, you wouldn't be saying that."
Ye Xiu was confused for a few seconds until Tang Luor continued, "Brother Changting was an Ordinary Disciple of the Seven Lives Sect three thousand years ago. But even as an Ordinary Disciple back then, he killed the leader of Maple Whisper Tower, Zhang Yiding, with just one finger! Then Brother Changting saved you and managed to disperse various sects with just a few words."
Afterward, Tang Luor told Ye Xiu about the Seven Lives Sect and the Seven Lives Showdown from three thousand years ago.
After listening, Ye Xiu felt a bit embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly, "So it turns out I stumbled upon such a great opportunity. I never expected that the Seven Lives Sect would be so impressive."
"Of course, now that the crisis of the Tang family has been resolved, the Maple Whisper Tower won't dare to act recklessly in the future. By the way, Brother Changting entrusted me with three manuals before he left. One is a technique that the Tang family was missing, and the other two are for you, Ye Xiu."
Ye Xiu took the two manuals handed over by Tang Luor and saw that they were titled "Master Zuo's Seven Needles" and "Azure Cloud Formula."
Although Ye Xiu had not felt the full power of "Seven Lives Decision" when he practiced it earlier, he clearly sensed an increase in strength. However, without a proper technique at that time, his power was rendered useless. Now that he had received these two manuals, how could Ye Xiu not be happy?
He eagerly opened the first manual, "Master Zuo's Seven Needles," and saw the first page inscribed with dark letters:
"If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons beneath me; if I become a demon, what can the Buddha do to me?"
As Ye Xiu continued reading, he grasped the general idea. At the end of this manual were six silver-white needles, each thinner than the last. However, there was no Silver Needle in the final slot.
These seven needles represented seven techniques, each with its unique miraculous effect. Each needle could kill or save; it could kill invisibly or save with a return of power.
Practicing the third needle merely required a simple insertion into the body, which could cause chaos in the Spiritual Source, ultimately leading to a disordered spiritual energy and death. Alternatively, it could also revive someone from severe injury, allowing them to immediately regain their spirits and run.
"Master Zuo's Seven Needles" truly embodied the sentiment of becoming a Buddha or a demon in an instant, killing or saving at will.
After understanding the basics, Ye Xiu set aside "Master Zuo's Seven Needles" and eagerly opened "Azure Cloud Formula."
The moment he opened it, a brilliant azure light burst forth as if it possessed immense gravitational pull, preventing Ye Xiu from moving even an inch.
Noticing the change in situation, Tang Luor immediately tried to close the manual. However, before her hand could touch it, Ye Xiu vanished, leaving "Azure Cloud Formula" to fall to the ground.
...
...
...
Ye Xiu was blinded by the brightness before him and slowly opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by azure-white clouds stretching endlessly in the distance.
He stood atop a peak that seemed to reach great heights, with no ground visible beneath him.
The mountains stood tall and the wind was cool, but the scene before him was truly magnificent!
Just as he was lost in admiration, a line of golden characters appeared out of thin air:
Azure Cloud Energy, Vast and Majestic. It resonated powerfully.
Then, the surrounding green and white clouds, along with the towering mountains, transformed and converged into gas that drilled into Ye Xiu's body. Gradually, the surroundings morphed into a dark space as the gas entered Ye Xiu effortlessly.
"Is this a form of inheritance? It feels so good; my body feels so light," Ye Xiu murmured.
Finally, it felt as if he had been struck by lightning; Ye Xiu's mind connected with something, and a flood of information surged into his brain.
Unable to bear it, Ye Xiu rolled in agony within the space. This pain was worse than heartbreak.
The continuous torment made Ye Xiu momentarily forget everything, as if the pain had begun the moment he became conscious. Whether awake or dreaming, there was only pain—enduring this suffering was the meaning of life.
He lost track of time, unaware of how long Ye Xiu had been in pain.
Suddenly, the Azure Cloud Formula before Tang Luor shone with a brilliant blue light, and Ye Xiu emerged, looking disheveled and drenched in sweat.
"Ye Xiu! Ye Xiu! Are you okay? What happened?" Tang Luor asked anxiously.
"..." Ye Xiu seemed still numb from the pain, staring blankly at Tang Luor.
Before long, Ye Xiu began to recover.
The towering mountains and dark space felt like a dream.
Including that immense pain.
Wiping his sweat away, Ye Xiu stood up.
"Strange, what just happened?" Ye Xiu picked up the Azure Cloud Formula lying at his feet.
"Ah! Why is this book blank? There's nothing written in it!" Ye Xiu exclaimed.
"No way! Just now, I clearly saw you disappear, as if..." Tang Luor pondered, "like... like a legacy!"
"Yes! It must be that way, Ye Xiu. Quickly, try to see if your body has changed!"
"Oh~~~" Ye Xiu responded.
He moved forward, but after just a few steps, he fell to the ground.
"What's going on? Something feels off. My body feels so light."
Ye Xiu squatted down again and gently jumped up.
Then came a sharp scream from Ye Xiu, "Ah!!!"
The scene was tragic; Ye Xiu had jumped too high and hit his head against the stone ceiling above.
As Ye Xiu fell back down, he had injured his head.
"Wow!" Tang Luor exclaimed.
