Chapter 731 - Devouring Sun Poison
In two hours, Everything Liu Wuxie required was ready. To ensure enough materials were available, Liu Dashan brought seventy to eighty different materials, each in multiple quantities. Meanwhile, Liu Dayue prepared the medicinal bath as instructed.
“Third Uncle boil the water and make it as hot as possible,” Liu Wuxie instructed.
Liu Dayue complied after a brief hesitation. If the patriarch had been in his prime, even molten lava would have posed no threat, let alone boiling water. But they had no choice but to take this desperate gamble for even the slightest chance of success.
Elder Li entered the room and seemed tempted to intervene several times, but he ultimately held back.
“Grandpa Li, no one is to come within a hundred-meter radius for the next three days,” Liu Wuxie said as he stood up.
“Very well. I’ll join you in this madness,” Elder Li nodded. Doing nothing meant the patriarch would only live another half month at best. If there was even a slim chance of success, it was worth pursuing. Besides, he had little reason to continue without the patriarch.
“Third Uncle put grandfather into the bath,” Liu Wuxie said. It was a giant wooden tub with fire blazing underneath and water bubbling furiously. He crushed the prepared spiritual herbs and mixed them into the tub.
Once he had finished everything, Liu Wuxie removed his clothes and jumped into the tub. He had refined the Fire Spiritual Bead back in the mundane world, which had given birth to the Fire spirit, and this much heat couldn’t affect him.
“Third Uncle, channel your true essence into me if I start to run out of true essence, and our success depends on this moment!” Liu Wuxie sat in the tub with his legs crossed as he turned to look at Liu Dayue. This was because he didn’t have enough true essence to force the poison out of his grandfather.
“Okay,” Liu Dayue nodded. Liu Dashan and Liu Dazhi retreated ten meters away, careful not to disrupt the treatment.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Liu Wuxie sat opposite his grandfather with a row of silver needles in his hand. He began inserting the needles into his grandfather’s primary acupoints one by one, and the last two needles were stuck directly into Liu Xiucheng’s eyes, which nearly made Liu Dayue lose his composure.
“The poison has sealed grandfather’s soul sea, and the only way is through his eyes,” Liu Wuxie explained to ease everyone’s concerns.
As he circulated the Desolate Devouring Art, the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron began to appear. Liu Wuxie planned to use the power of the ancient divine avatar. In truth, he wasn’t just extracting the poison from his grandfather, but he was absorbing it.
The poison had seeped into his grandfather’s bones, and even someone in the Heaven Profound Realm couldn’t expel it. This meant Liu Wuxie wasn’t an exception, but he had comprehended She Bishi’s Poison Art.
As long as he could comprehend a wisp of Poison Art’s essence, he could harness all the poison in the surroundings.
When he injected his true essence into his grandfather’s body, his consciousness delved into a mysterious space, isolated from the outside world. His primordial spirit shuttled through his grandfather’s body, trying to sense the poison.
Once his true essence entered his grandfather’s body, it was swiftly corroded by the poison, gradually turning Liu Wuxie’s body black when they returned to his body.
Seeing this from a distance away, Liu Dashan staggered and nearly fell to the ground. Even Liu Dayue and Liu Dazhi were dumbfounded. They could tell Liu Wuxie was trying to use his body to absorb the poison from their father’s body.
This was an exchange by transferring the poison to himself to cleanse his grandfather’s body—a gamble using his life to save his grandfather’s. In a nutshell, Liu Wuxie was putting his life on the line as he had no other choice. If he couldn’t save his grandfather, he would be dead after three days.
But if he could seize this opportunity and comprehend She Bishi’s Poison Art, it could become another one of his trump cards.
“Big brother!” Liu Dazhi grabbed his eldest brother’s shoulder.
Liu Wuxie retracted his soul energy and continued to venture deeper into his grandfather’s soul sea, only to realize the seal locking the soul sea had loosened. He protected his grandfather’s soul sea from further damage with the Heavenly Dao Book’s protection.
This greatly boosted Liu Wuxie’s confidence. He knew it wouldn’t be easy for him to force the poison out by himself, which was why it was essential for him to receive his grandfather’s cooperation.
Summoning the Soul Spear again, Liu Wuxie increased his strength this time, making the spear almost tangible.
This time, Liu Dayue could sense a terrifying surge of soul energy flashing past him. When the Soul Spear struck the seal with immense force, Liu Xiucheng trembled even more violently and nearly overturned the tub.
As the crack grew in size, Liu Wuxie’s soul energy was greatly exhausted. But he didn’t have to worry for now as his third uncle replenished his true essence.
A cultivator in the True Profound Realm was inexhaustible. To Liu Wuxie’s surprise, his third uncle’s true essence carried traces of the True Profound Realm’s laws. These laws, infused into his body, nourished him and held significant benefits. As his cultivation would progress in the future, the laws of the True Profound Realm would gradually merge with him, strengthening his foundation.
This meant Liu Wuxie could easily reach the True Profound Realm as long as he lived.
The Soul Spear struck for the third time. With even more power this time, Liu Wuxie had now expended half of his soul energy.
The seal finally shattered with a crack, opening a gap. This allowed Liu Wuxie’s divine sense to enter his grandfather’s soul sea.
His grandfather’s soul sea was in a mess and had nearly dried up. At the center, a primordial spirit was barely breathing. He navigated through the devastated soul sea and stood before his grandfather’s primordial spirit.
“Grandfather...grandfather...” Liu Wuxie called out. He had to awaken his grandfather’s primordial spirit to dispel the poison with their joint effort.
However, the primordial spirit remained motionless with no signs of awakening, no matter how Liu Wuxie called out. Cold sweat began to drip down Liu Wuxie’s forehead as time was pressing, and the Devouring Sun Poison had started to corrode his meridians.
If his grandfather still didn’t wake up, there would be no time for him to cultivate the Poison Art. Even if he managed to save his grandfather, his grandfather would be left in a vegetative state, his primordial spirit in an eternal slumber.
“The Heavenly Dao Book! I believe it can help to wake up grandfather!” Liu Wuxie came up with a desperate idea. He immediately summoned the Heavenly Dao Book’s power that left his soul sea, appearing above his grandfather’s soul sea.
The moment it appeared, the entire soul sea lit up in golden radiance, and the Heavenly Dao Book descended before Liu Wuxie to engulf his grandfather’s primordial spirit.
“Grandfather...grandfather...” Liu Wuxie called out. The powerful surge of soul energy released from the Heavenly Dao Book began pouring into the primordial spirit. The dried-up primordial spirit finally moved under the sacred light.
A wave of joy swept over Liu Wuxie’s face. It seemed his grandfather’s primordial spirit hadn’t been entirely lost. Instead, it had entered a self-protection state, a kind of hibernation, to safeguard itself until the danger passed.
Liu Xiucheng’s consciousness had sunk into a boundless abyss, sinking deeper and deeper. But golden light had appeared, accompanied by a voice calling out to him.
“Who’s calling out to me?” Liu Xiucheng’s consciousness grew stronger as he reached for the golden light. The surrounding darkness began to recede, and he finally heard the voice after grabbing the golden light.
“My grandson...which of my grandsons?” Liu Xiucheng’s consciousness wasn’t clear, but he climbed out of the abyss, striving to escape it.
“Grandfather...I’m Wuxie! Wake up...” Liu Wuxie’s voice became more hurried as the Heavenly Dao Book shrunk and returned to his soul sea. This was because his soul sea was nearing exhaustion.
