In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

With a thought, Su Han poured all his star power and will into the ice crystal. The ice crystal shone brightly with blue light, and a phantom yet incredibly clear female figure slowly emerged from it. The figure was dressed in snow-white robes, with an exquisitely beautiful face and eyes as cold as ancient ice—it was none other than Senior Sister Tianya's sword spirit phantom!
The moment the sword spirit phantom appeared, the temperature of the entire palace plummeted to freezing point, and even the stellar energy flowing in the air seemed to freeze! She coldly glanced at the frantically rushing humanoid stellar spirit, then lightly raised her jade hand and tapped the tortoise shell in Su Han's hand.

"Om-!"

The tortoise shell trembled violently, its original silver light instantly transforming into a deep, dark silver that seemed capable of devouring all light! A terrifying defensive force, more than ten times stronger than before, erupted, firmly protecting Su Han within it! At the same time, an extremely pure, icy star power flowed back into Su Han's body, rapidly repairing his injuries!

"Tianya...you really didn't die!"

The humanoid celestial spirit stared intently at the sword spirit phantom, its voice filled with shock, anger, and apprehension.

The illusory image of the Tianya Sword didn't even glance at it, its icy gaze turning to Su Han, and a clear, cold voice resounded directly in Su Han's mind: "Go."

It was just one word, yet it carried an undeniable authority.

Su Han's spirits lifted, and he nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

Without further hesitation, he transformed into a streak of dark silver light, and with the dual protection of the tortoise shell and the spirit of the Tianya Sword, he shot towards the outside of the pit! This time, he did not choose the same path he had taken, but instead rushed directly towards the large hole that Elder Mu had torn open in the palace dome!
"Stop him!"

The humanoid Star Spirits roared repeatedly, joining the giant lion and the Xuan Turtle in a frenzied attack on Su Han. But Elder Mu would not allow them to succeed. The Azure Emperor's Dharma Image unleashed its divine power, and the myriad tree vines transformed into countless giant dragons, tightly binding the three Star Spirit guardians.

"Su Han! Let's go!"

Elder Mu shouted, and his green wooden staff slammed into the ground again. A emerald green bridge of light appeared out of thin air, one end connecting to Su Han's feet and the other end leading directly to the hole in the dome!
Su Han stepped onto the bridge of light, his speed increased dramatically, and he instantly rushed out of the palace and into the outside world!

……

Outside the palace, deep within Falling Star Lake.

The moment Su Han rushed out of the palace, a thick mist of water rushed towards him. He hovered in mid-air and looked back. He saw that the entire Star Spirit Palace was shaking violently, and earth-shattering explosions and roars of star beasts were constantly coming from inside. Clearly, the battle between Elder Mu and the three Star Spirit Guardians had entered a fierce stage.

"Su Han!"

A slightly anxious voice rang out. Su Han turned his head and saw a figure flying rapidly from a distance—it was the sect deacon who had met him at the coral reef cave earlier. The deacon's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Su Han covered in blood, weak but clutching an ice crystal radiating terrifying coldness. He then urgently said, "Quickly! Elder Mu sent a message ordering us to leave Falling Star Lake immediately! This place is no place to linger!"

Su Han nodded, glanced at the Tianya Ice Crystal in his hand, its light shimmering and its sword spirit faintly visible, and said in a deep voice, "Steward, Senior Sister's spirit is still intact, but she needs to be taken back to the sect for treatment as soon as possible!"

"I understand!" the deacon said solemnly. "Let's go!"

Without further hesitation, the two transformed into two streaks of light and sped towards the coral reef cave on the outskirts of Falling Star Lake.

Along the way, Su Han could feel that the Tianya Ice Crystal in his hand was constantly absorbing the stellar power of heaven and earth, and its spirituality was steadily recovering. The return of that drop of primordial blood essence, as well as the nourishment from Su Han's heart's blood, seemed to have caused some subtle changes in the sword spirit, making the connection between them even closer, and even giving a faint feeling of being connected by blood.

"Senior sister...we're really...home..."

Su Han silently prayed, and a relieved smile finally appeared on his tired face.

Half an hour later, the two finally returned to the secluded coral reef cave. Inside the cave, the teleportation array was already lit, clearly indicating that Elder Mu had already prepared for their evacuation. "Quick! Activate the teleportation array!"

"The steward urged," Su Han said. He glanced one last time at the depths of Falling Star Lake, where starlight still soared and energy fluctuations were intense, clearly indicating the battle was far from over. He silently prayed for Elder Mu, then stepped into the teleportation array without hesitation.

Om-!
The teleportation array shone brightly, and spatial power enveloped his entire body. In the last moment before his consciousness faded, Su Han tightly gripped the Tianya Ice Crystal in his hand, as if he were holding the entire world in his grasp.

"Senior sister, we...we're going home."

……

Qingyun Sect, Tianya Peak.

A beam of teleportation light flashed, and Su Han and the deacon appeared in the teleportation array at the summit.

Several sect elders who had been waiting there for a long time immediately surrounded him. The elder in the lead, with a dignified face and a deep, unfathomable aura, was none other than the sect master of the Qingyun Sect! When he saw the Tianya Ice Crystal in Su Han's hand, which was full of spiritual energy and exuded a chilling aura, as well as the faint phantom of the sword spirit in the ice crystal, his eyes flashed with brilliance and his face revealed an undisguised excitement.

"Good! Good! Good!" The sect leader said "good" three times in a row, his voice trembling slightly. "Tianya... is really still alive! Su Han, you have done a great service!"

Su Han forced himself to stand up and respectfully presented the Tianya Ice Crystal to the sect leader: "Sect leader, my senior sister's spirituality has been severely damaged and she needs to be nurtured as soon as possible using the sect's secret techniques."

"Rest assured!" The sect leader solemnly accepted the ice crystal, feeling the familiar and powerful spiritual fluctuations within it, and said in a deep voice, "I will immediately activate the 'Spirit Gathering Pool' and use the full power of the sect to help Tianya reshape his sword body and reconstitute his Dao body!"

He glanced at Su Han, who was covered in wounds and barely breathing, and a hint of admiration and heartache flashed in his eyes: "Su Han, you are also seriously injured. Go to the 'Hundred Herbs Hall' immediately to heal. The sect will provide an unlimited supply of the pills you need! Once you recover, the sect will reward you handsomely!"

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Su Han bowed respectfully, then everything went black before his eyes. He could no longer hold on and collapsed limply to the ground. He was utterly exhausted; both his body and mind had reached their limits.

An elder, quick as a flash, caught Su Han and sighed, "This child... he's really risking his life. Quick, take him to the Hundred Herbs Hall!"

……

A month later.

Qingyun Sect, Hundred Herbs Hall.

Su Han slowly opened his eyes, the blinding sunlight causing him to squint slightly. He examined his body; his broken bones had healed, and his damaged meridians had mostly recovered thanks to the nourishment of precious pills. The newly formed star seed was slowly rotating within his dantian, radiating a more refined and pure light than before, even faintly carrying a trace of the icy attribute unique to the Tianya Sword.

"you're awake."

A gentle voice came from behind. Su Han turned his head and saw Elder Mu sitting in a chair by the bed, smiling at him. Elder Mu's face was a little pale, and his breathing seemed weaker than before. He had obviously suffered a great loss in the battle at Falling Star Lake, and might even have suffered some internal injuries, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

"Elder Mu!" Su Han quickly stood up and bowed. "Your injuries..." (End of Chapter)
