Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 159: A decayed body, a broken soul, and a sea of ​​​​spiritual resentment

While transmitting life essence and life energy, Shu Yan's mental power had also thoroughly explored the condition of the woman's entire body. The feedback he received made him frown, as if he had not expected the situation to be so serious.

Life energy has always been the purest and gentlest of all energies. It can be absorbed by everyone, young or old, male or female, and its effects are powerful and direct, visible to the naked eye.

This raises the question: under what circumstances does even absorbing life energy become a stress and burden for a person's body?
The situation was so bad that even Shu Yan couldn't help but feel troubled. He had many healing methods, but these healing methods generally required a prerequisite, that is, the body of the person receiving the healing could still absorb energy, or in other words, the vitality in the other person's body could still be revived.

For example, he had previously treated Aluan, the 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Luan, and even extended the life of Qiangu Chaosheng. This was all based on the premise that the other party's body had not yet completely decayed and was able to absorb and refine energy. If a person cannot even absorb energy, then even if more life energy is injected, it will not play its due role. On the contrary, it is very likely to cause serious consequences.

For example, a damaged body cannot withstand and digest a huge amount of life energy, and thus explodes...

And now, Shu Yan's mother Ruan Qinyu is in such a situation.

Her body was close to decaying, and her internal organs were in a mess. Not even one tenth of her soul power remained, and nearly 70% of her internal organs were failing. Her mental strength was also slowly dissipating. Given the extent of the disease, if Shu Yan stayed up for a while longer, he might not even be able to see her for the last time.

As for Ruan Qinyu's situation, there may be a sentence that can better explain it.

At this moment, she was like an empty shell that was still controlled by a soul. It was the obsession in her heart that kept her alive. Once this obsession dissipated, her life would also dissipate in an instant. For her, every minute and every second of life was torment and torture.

Ruan Qinyu had completely fallen asleep. Even in her coma, her brows were still furrowed, a sign of pain. Shu Yan looked at her thin and unrecognizable face, feeling very uncomfortable for a moment. He gently wiped away the tears that had not yet fallen from her eyes, then looked up at the Medical Immortal Douluo standing behind the crowd and said in a deep voice:
"Grandma, the Medical Fairy, please help me see if there is any solution..."

Medical Immortal Douluo sighed, and her old body moved, slowly coming to Shu Yan. She leaned down slightly, and touched Ruan Qinyu's brow with her fingertips. The wrinkles on her forehead seemed to be more obvious, and her expression seemed a little strange.

"How strange... How strange... How could this be, this..."

There was no lack of surprise in the tone of Medical Immortal Douluo. She had been curing patients and saving lives all her life, and the difficult and complicated diseases and strange things she had seen were probably more than the meals Shu Yan had eaten. But now... the situation of Shu Yan's mother Ruan Qinyu made her look confused and astonished.

Shu Yan's face darkened again, and then he said:
"Grandma Medical Fairy, what did you find?"

Medical Immortal Douluo looked doubtful and uncertain. She did not answer Shu Yan's question immediately, but continued to carefully investigate before speaking:

"Ayan, feel your mother's spiritual sea carefully..."

Shu Yan lowered his eyes, and a gentle mental power once again penetrated into Ruan Qinyu's body, and then slowly approached the sea of ​​​​spirituality in the brain.

After passing through a nearly transparent blue film, the world in front of her eyes suddenly changed. Countless resentments filled with evil and bloody aura swept over. Ruan Qinyu's entire spiritual sea was completely black and purple, and the only remaining normal area was being eaten by several hideous resentments.

Shu Yan withdrew that trace of spiritual power, and his eyes became more serious. The spiritual sea was full of the resentment of dead people or soul beasts. Shu Yan had never seen such a situation, but he had heard of it. No matter which situation it was, it would undoubtedly be related to the evil soul master. His mother Ruan Qinyu, in Su Tong's mouth, was just a soul emperor, and was born into a heavenly soul noble family. When Shu Yan just explored her body, it just proved that Ruan Qinyu's cultivation was not high.

The physical troubles themselves were already extremely difficult, and the problems in the sea of ​​spirit were even more surprising. Shu Yan's expression was slowly becoming heavy. With him as the center, the temperature within a ten-meter radius was slowly dropping, and a terrifying aura emerged, causing the old men to look astonished.

Su Mingxuan stood behind Shu Yan, looking at his wife with eyes full of worry and pain. He leaned down, then stretched out a hand and pressed Shu Yan's shoulder. His movements were extremely unfamiliar and stiff. After all, he and Shu Yan had known each other for too short a time, and he didn't dare to be too close or casual, fearing that Shu Yan would not be able to adapt.

He had originally planned to meet his son first and then take him to see her, and also to tell his son some things about her. However, Ruan Qinyu seemed to sense something while she was sleeping, and he was too excited to sense the abnormality on his wife's side in time. Now Ruan Qinyu fell into a coma again, which completely disrupted his original plan.

"Kid, what did you find?"

Su Mingxuan asked softly, and at the same time waved gently to the old men. The old men looked at each other and also noticed something strange. They looked at Ruan Qinyu with a rather complicated look, then turned around and turned into streams of light and disappeared, completely giving the space to the few people.

"Why is there such a huge amount of resentment and evil energy in my mother's spiritual sea? You... must know something..."

Shu Yan closed his eyes, and when he looked into Ruan Qinyu's eyes, he felt the excitement and regret in the other's heart that was like a volcanic eruption. At the same time, it was also an extremely strong maternal love. That look contained so much, and it completely pierced into the soft place in Shu Yan's heart.

Su Mingxuan sighed lightly, and did not rush to answer Shu Yan. Instead, he said with some emotion:
"I heard from Ayun that you have grown into a genius beyond imagination. These years...your parents were not by your side. What happened back then was also our fault."

"I initially thought that you would blame us or even hate us after learning the truth from your sister, but until the moment we met again, I didn't see any hatred or dissatisfaction in your eyes. But no matter what, Qin Yu and I missed your entire youth, and you missed the love that should have belonged to you."

"She once told me that if we can't meet our son again in this lifetime, then we should spend the rest of our lives praying for him to have a peaceful and happy life, instead of trying to climb to a higher level in this turbulent world of soul masters by any means necessary like us."

Shu Yan narrowed his eyes, then said softly:

“My path is to strive for the top. It is impossible for me to stay in one place or field forever. I will climb up until there is no more room to climb. This is the path I pursue.”

Su Mingxuan patted Shu Yan's shoulder gently again, and a smile appeared on his face.

"That's fine. The most important thing in life is to know why you live. Living without a clear purpose is a torture."

"Okay, now, I want to tell you about your mother's origins and parentage. After I finish, you should have a better idea of ​​what she is like..."
