“Longjian, I am the same as Ruochen. If we cannot enjoy life together, we shall reunite with one another in death,” Bai Suyan smiled lightly with an expression of having seen through life and death.
‘You all…”
“Forget about it,” Nangong Longjian sighed grudgingly. Then, he looked to Chu Feng and the Compa.s.s Immortal, “I shall trouble the two of you then.”
After Nangong Longjian finished saying those words, he sat down in a cross-legged position. Soon, a stream of black gaseous substance began to emit from his dantian. Like vines, the black gaseous substance rapidly spread through his entire body, covering it.
At the same time, Nangong Longjian’s expression became increasingly ugly. In the end, the portion of his skin that had not been covered by the black gaseous substance had all turned paper pale like the skin of the dead.
“Black Vines Soul Refining Body?!” Seeing Nangong Longjian’s current appearance, the Compa.s.s Immortal’s expression took a huge change.
“Black Vines Soul Refining Body? What is that?” Bai Ruochen asked.
“The Black Vines Soul Refining Body is a sort of innate disease. While it is capable of tempering the person who is afflicted with it, allowing them to become stronger than ordinary people, it will also s.n.a.t.c.h away that person’s soul, causing him or her to die an untimely death.”
“The Black Vines Soul Refining Body is something that one is born with. It is hidden within one’s dantian and mixed with one’s source energy. Even if one were to separate from one’s flesh and turn into a free consciousness, they would still not be able to break free from the Black Vines Soul Refining Body. The only way to break free from it is through death,” The Compa.s.s Immortal said.
“In that case, is this sickness curable?” Bai Ruochen and Bai Suyan asked together.
“It’s very difficult. It can be r.e.t.a.r.ded, but not eradicated. Furthermore, judging by Nangong Longjian’s appearance, he should be at the terminal stage of the Black Vines Soul Refining Body. I’m afraid… we will not even be able to slow it down,” The Compa.s.s Immortal shook his head repeatedly. When he discovered that Nangong Longjian’s illness was the Black Vines Soul Refining Body, he knew right away that he was powerless to help.
“Compa.s.s Immortal, please save my father, please save my father,” Bai Ruochen knelt to the Compa.s.s Immortal and began to plead with him. Her body was trembling in pain. The words of the Compa.s.s Immortal were equivalent to destroying her last bit of hope. She truly did not wish for her father to die.
“Young lady, please get up. It is not that I do not want to save him, it’s just that I am truly powerless,” The Compa.s.s Immortal had an expression of helplessness.
At this moment, Nangong Longjian said with his weak voice, “Ruochen, do not make things difficult for the Compa.s.s Immortal. This illness of mine is incurable.” Even though he was saying those words, Chu Feng could tell that he still held hope within his words. In the end, he wished that he could continue living.
This was not because Nangong Longjian was a coward that feared death. From his previous actions, it could be seen that he was not someone who sought fame or riches. Even in death, he wanted to pa.s.s his cultivation on to his daughter.
Thus, from this, it could be seen determined that the reason why he didn’t want to die was none other than the love he possessed for family. By family, this did not mean the Nangong Imperial Clan. Instead, it was Bai Ruochen and her mother.
Right at that moment, Chu Feng said, “Senior Compa.s.s, I know of a method that might be able to treat senior Longjian’s illness,”
“Are you serious?”
…………
……
Hearing what Chu Feng said, the Compa.s.s Immortal, Nangong Longjian, Bai Suyan and Bai Ruochen all looked to him.
Although the four of them all asked different questions, they all expressed joy in their eyes. They knew that Chu Feng was not someone who would joke around at a time like this, nor was he someone that would make boastful claims.
“I do not know about the Black Vines Soul Refining Body. However, I know of a spirit formation that specializes in curing innate diseases. It might be effective on the Black Vines Soul Refining Body,” Chu Feng said.
“Little friend Chu Feng, whatever method it might be, do tell,” Compared to Nangong Longjian and the others, the Compa.s.s Immortal was even more interested. He had thought that Nangong Longjian’s illness was incurable. Thus, he was extremely curious as to exactly what the method that Chu Feng spoke of was.
“Senior Compa.s.s, I have never set up this formation before. Thus, I also do not possess a hundred percent certainty.”
“As senior Compa.s.s is very familiar with the Black Vines Soul Refining Body, I wish to have senior Compa.s.s take a look at whether or not the spirit formation might be feasible.”
As Chu Feng spoke, he began to write with his finger in midair. He was forming a diagram with spirit power.
The diagram was glistening with golden light and very dazzling. This was the diagram of the method to set up the spirit formation.
Chu Feng had outlined the entire process, as well as all of the materials needed for the spirit formation.
Merely, for a single diagram, Chu Feng took two entire hours just outlining it. From this, it could be seen how complicated that spirit formation was.
After Chu Feng finished outlining the diagram, not to mention Bai Suyan and Bai Ruochen, even Nangong Longjian, a Snake Mark Royal-cloak World Spiritist, was flabbergasted by it.
This diagram was too complicated. Even he was unable to make any sense of it. However, he was able to tell that it had not been casually or randomly drawn. Instead, it really was the outline of a spirit formation, a very powerful spirit formation.
When he saw the diagram, Nangong Longjian suddenly felt his blood rus.h.i.+ng. Even the pain that he was feeling right now had been alleviated greatly. He had seen hope. From Chu Feng’s spirit formation diagram, he saw hope to be able to continue living.
At that moment, the Compa.s.s Immortal had an extremely serious expression on his face. His eyes were moving about through the diagram nonstop. He continued to survey it for six entire hours before finally stopping. Then, he turned to Chu Feng and spoke with a resounding and extremely emotional manner.
“Amazing! That is simply too amazing! Little friend Chu Feng, exactly where did you obtain such an amazing spirit formation?” The Compa.s.s Immortal asked with astonishment.
“This formation was acquired from the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram,” Chu Feng said.
“Nine Spirits Divine Diagram?” The Compa.s.s Immortal was startled to hear those words. Then, he turned his gaze of disbelief to Chu Feng, “You’ve managed to grasp the contents of the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram?”
Truth be told, Chu Feng felt somewhat uneasy being looked at with such a gaze by the Compa.s.s Immortal. However, in the end, he still nodded.
“Were you able to grasp it fully?” The Compa.s.s Immortal asked again. His gaze became even more stern.
It was not only the Compa.s.s Immortal; even Nangong Longjian was looking at Chu Feng with an astonished expression. Evidently, he also knew of the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram.
“Mn,” Chu Feng nodded again.
At that moment, the Compa.s.s Immortal grew silent. Even Nangong Longjian grew silent. It was only after a long while that the two of them managed to calm themselves. They looked to Chu Feng again with extremely marvelous expressions in their gazes.
“No wonder, no wonder!!!”
“Truly, no wonder!!!” The Compa.s.s Immortal became extremely excited, and began to exclaim in admiration as he looked at Chu Feng. He said, “Chu Feng, you are truly no ordinary person. That Nine Spirits Divine Diagram has been in existence for so long, and ended up in the hands of countless people. While it was true that many of them managed to obtain great harvests from the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram, there has never been anyone who managed to completely grasp the contents of the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram.”
“Did you know that even the creator of the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram, the Nine Spirits G.o.d, was unable to completely grasp the contents of the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram? That was why he made the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram before his death in the hopes that later generations would be able to completely grasp those lost spirit formations.”
“However, even after all these years have pa.s.sed, even after the later generations tried all sorts of methods, none of them managed to grasp all of the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram’s contents.”
“There was even someone who killed the nine Evil Spirits of the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram out of anger with the intention of destroying the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram. However, not long afterward, the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram reappeared in the world. Not only was the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram not destroyed, even the nine Evil Spirits that were killed were revived by the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram.”
“The Nine Spirits Divine Diagram is actually indestructible!!!”
“The Nine Spirits Divine Diagram greatly surpa.s.sed what people expected it to be. Later on, a grand world spiritist declared that the Nine Spirits G.o.d had used all that he knew to create the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram before his death. That he had already greatly alleviated the difficulty of the spirit formations within the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram.”
“However, if one wished to obtain the spirit formations within the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram, one must fuse together with the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram. As for that, it required an extremely powerful physique. It was something that no ordinary person could do.”
“Never would I have expected that you’ve actually managed to accomplish it,” The Compa.s.s Immortal looked to Chu Feng with a shocked expression. His gaze simply did not appear like the gaze of someone looking at another person. Rather, it was more like the gaze of someone looking at a G.o.d.
