Chapter 732 - Poison Essence
Voices flickered around Liu Xiucheng's ears, strange yet resonant with a deep familiarity, as though tied by an inseparable bond of blood. Though Liu Wuxie had never met Liu Xiucheng before, the undeniable connection between their bloodlines created an unspoken link.
At this moment, the two had become one, with a resonance from their primordial spirit. Liu Xiucheng felt a hand pull him out of the abyss, and his consciousness began to return when he left the darkness.
The dried-up primordial spirit began to emit a faint glow as he slowly regained his vitality.
Liu Wuxie was already prepared. He had refined the Soul Condensing Pill into a concentrated liquid and poured it into his grandfather's soul sea. However, after reaching Liu Xiucheng's cultivation level, the Soul Condensing Pill was no longer helpful.
Liu Wuxie’s intention wasn't to help his grandfather's soul sea recover but to awaken his primordial spirit, and the Soul Condensing Pill was enough. After absorbing a significant amount of soul energy, the primordial spirit began to stir, first with slight twitches in the fingers, gradually leading to a full restoration of the body.
When the primordial spirit's eyes opened, Liu Xiucheng saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar at once. He could sense a familiar bloodline connection coming from Liu Wuxie, but he felt unfamiliar because it was a face he had never seen before.
"Grandfather, you've awakened! Time is short, and I'll be brief. My name is Liu Wuxie, and I am the son of Liu Dashan. I'm trying to help you expel the poison in your body, and I need your help now that your primordial spirit is restored," Liu Wuxie said, explaining things as quickly as he could.
Before Liu Xiucheng could converse with Liu Wuxie, he had already withdrawn his primordial spirit from his grandfather’s soul sea. Liu Xiucheng had already grasped the situation that his grandson was trying to expel the poison from his body. He didn't hesitate to circulate his cultivation technique, converging his soul energy to recover his dried-up soul sea rapidly.
"It's father's aura!" Liu Dayue exclaimed from the side after sensing a familiar aura coming from his father.
"Third Uncle, you can stop now!" Liu Wuxie said. Liu Dayue had nearly exhausted all his true essence, and he would damage his foundation if he continued further.
"I'm fine; I can still hold on!" Liu Dayue said. He didn’t hesitate and continued to channel his true essence into Liu Wuxie, but it was no longer as powerful as before.
"No need. From here, guard me and ensure no one disturbs me, no matter what happens to me," Liu Wuxie said. He was about to meditate and couldn't risk any disruptions.
When Liu Dayue saw Liu Wuxie's grave expression, he finally retracted his hand from Liu Wuxie's back. He saw that Liu Wuxie's body had turned black, and the Devouring Sun Poison had infiltrated his meridians.
After Liu Xiucheng recovered his primordial spirit, he became vaguely aware of his surroundings. Paired with Liu Wuxie's true essence, he began to force the poison out of his body, unbeknownst to him that the poison he expelled was entering Liu Wuxie's body instead.
If he had known, he wouldn't have allowed that to happen.
As poison was being expelled from Liu Xiucheng's body, the medicinal bath began to enter his body to repair his meridians. All the spiritual herbs used were rare, and only the Four Great Clans could gather them so quickly. If he had been outside, he couldn't have acquired so many materials quickly.
Liu Wuxie began to withdraw the Desolate Devouring Art and focused entirely on comprehending the Poison Art. He had to grasp the essence before it could kill him.
Though he had absorbed a hint of She Bishi's energy in the Heavenly Nether Battlefield, it was on a whole new level. It wasn't because She Bishi's poison was inferior to Liu Wuxie's, but he had only comprehended a minuscule fraction of the Witcher Clan's poison.
After being cleansed by the sacred light, Liu Xiucheng's soul energy became more transparent, and a wisp of heavenly dao's power was infused into his soul sea. He could sense that this newfound addition incredibly benefited him, and a mysterious force had drawn out the poison from his body.
As the ancient deity's power began to churn and pour into the desolate world, a miraculous scene unfolded. A poisonous realm appeared, an individual world like the abyssal realm.
When poisonous miasma began to spread, the poison realm grew larger. It even surpassed the abyssal realm. Although Liu Wuxie had frequently interacted with the abyssal race in recent years, he hadn't comprehended the laws of the abyssal realm. As a result, the abyssal realm kept shrinking in the desolate world.
Meanwhile, the ice realm had long surpassed the volcano and abyssal realm. But now, a poison realm had been born in the desolate world, and Liu Wuxie's true essence could contain various world essences.
The poison coursing through Liu Wuxie's meridians rapidly converged to the desolate world. As the poison realm began to compress, the purity of the poisonous miasma began to increase.
Liu Wuxie was shocked when his consciousness sank into the desolate world.
"So much poison...the poison here should be able to poison someone in the high levels of the Nascent Transformation Realm to death..." Liu Wuxie didn't know if the poison could kill someone in the True Profound Realm, but it was more than enough to deal with those in the Nascent Transformation Realm.
Simultaneously, a golden spark had appeared at the depth of the poison realm.
"Poison spirit!" Liu Wuxie nearly exclaimed in shock. The poison spirit's appearance represented the strengthening of spirituality in the desolate world. The desolate world had already given birth to the fire and ice spirits in the mundane world, and the poison spirit was now added.
"It's a pity I can't absorb more witcher energy. If I could receive the nourishment of the witcher energy, the poison realm would be even more complete," Liu Wuxie sighed. He had only comprehended a wisp of poison essence, which was far inferior to a genuine Poison Art.
The true Poison Art required no external additions, and he could only infuse the poison miasma into his true essence to strengthen his attacks. He still wasn't capable of performing the Poison Art.
But that was enough. For instance, if he channeled the poison miasma into True Strike, he could poison his opponent as long as he could cause a wound, quickly immobilizing them.
Given the power of the True Profound Realm, they wouldn’t give Liu Wuxie a chance to poison them, and he might not even be able to break through their defenses.
This meant he would have to comprehend the genuine Poison Art if he wanted to engulf a ten-thousand-meter radius in poison miasma, leaving no one able to escape. It was a feat that would even make the Saint of Poison stand in awe if he were resurrected.
With the comprehension of poison essence, Liu Wuxie's cultivation began to rise. He had long reached the eighth level of the Astral River Realm, but he had been hindered for various reasons.
However, his bottleneck finally broke through during this incident. He didn’t need to take out high-grade spirit stones, as his grandfather’s breakthrough in the Earth Profound Realm caused spiritual energy to rapidly converge from the surroundings.
In addition, the liquified spiritual energy in the medicinal bath could help Liu Wuxie make a breakthrough, and this scene made the three brothers of the Liu Clan look at each other.
They wondered where the poison that had reflected on Liu Wuxie’s body had gone when it suddenly disappeared. Little did they know, the poison had been absorbed into Liu Wuxie’s dantian.
The laws of the Spirit Profound Realm and Earth Profound Realm began to shuttle within Liu Wuxie’s body. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a breakthrough near someone in the Spirit Profound Realm, especially during his grandfather’s breakthrough in the Earth Profound Realm.
As a result, the laws of the two realms intertwined and coursed through Liu Wuxie’s meridians and desolate world. In mere moments, the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron captured dozens of law fragments from the Spirit Profound Realm and a complete law from the Earth Profound Realm, storing them within the desolate world, regardless of whether Liu Wuxie could refine them now.
