Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

The dark golden dragon energy was about to surge within his sleeves, but he forcefully suppressed the anger and sorrow in his chest.

"What exactly happened at Ten Thousand Swords Mountain? And where did that fellow disciple go?"

"His whereabouts are unknown, and his fate is uncertain." Feng Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart. "Feng Hua Sect will definitely bring him back, whether he is dead or alive. We can't let him drift away."

The Empress held her son in her arms and carefully took Tan Suiting's cold hand in her palm.

Those hands, which once held the Xuan Sword, were now cold and powerless.

She could clearly feel the huge void in the soul of her own child, despite their blood ties.

That was the Taixu Dragon Clan of the East Sea, who had lost their beloved.

*

As soon as the dragon scales arrived at Dragon Abyss, they automatically took to the air, as if returning home.

Tan Suiting lay on the icy jade bed of the East Sea, with a continuous stream of the power of the Great Void Origin flowing into his body.

Feng Yu interlocked his index fingers, forming several complex hand seals, and raised a vast array.

He didn't know how much time had passed, until his spiritual energy was almost exhausted and his lips turned white.

The Dragon Emperor raised his hand, gently transferring his spiritual power to Feng Yu: "How is my son?"

"It's temporarily stabilized," Feng Yu stood up. "The power of origin needs to be accumulated slowly, but it will return soon. The ancient dragon vein contained in the dragon scale is extremely powerful and can completely repair the little dragon's shattered divine bones."

The Dragon Emperor glanced at the person lying silently on the icy jade bed, his brows furrowing deeply: "When will Long'er wake up?"

Feng Yu slowly turned around, remained silent for a long while, and then spoke: "That depends on whether he wants to wake up."

Silence.

……

"He has someone in his heart, that child whose fate is unknown," the Dragon Queen said softly and bitterly. "If that person isn't here, he won't wake up."

She stepped forward and gently took her son's blood-stained hand.

Feng Yu's lips were pale as he slowly spoke, "Little Dragon, trust your master, trust the Feng Hua Sect. We will definitely find Xiao Shui."

As if he had vaguely heard a familiar name, Tan Suiting's eyelashes trembled very slightly.

That's all.

The Dragon Emperor closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, all his emotions had vanished, leaving only the decisiveness of an emperor and the tenderness of a father.

He raised his hand and instructed the dragon elders behind him: "Immediately activate the Dragon Abyss Formation, mobilize the tidal dragon energy of the ancestral land, and spare no effort to repair the Crown Prince's original divine soul."

"Furthermore, send people to investigate all traces of Wanjian Mountain and search for the whereabouts of the Fenghua Sect disciples. We must find them alive or dead."

The dragon elders on both sides bowed in unison to receive the order.

Feng Yu let out a long breath: "I will stay in Longyuan for the time being, and leave after the little dragon's divine bones are fully repaired."

"The Dragon Clan of the East Sea will forever remember this great kindness." The Dragon Emperor solemnly cupped his hands in gratitude.

Feng Yu nodded, glanced back at Tan Suiting who was motionless on the cold jade bed, and sighed in his heart.

Xie Weixing looked at the magnificent golden longbow before him.

The bow is entirely translucent and gilded, as if it were formed from the condensation of countless rays of dawn and vitality. The winding and flowing patterns are natural formations created by heaven and earth, without any trace of artificial carving.

System: What is this?

Xie Weixing was utterly speechless: You're the system, why are you asking me? Do you now know why you haven't been able to upgrade to the advanced system? Have you even tried? You're always blaming the host, show some courage!

system:……?

The pale golden longbow before him carried not a trace of murderous intent, but rather was shrouded in a vast, pure, and supremely powerful life force.

Gentle, yet possessing the supreme power to reshape the world.

Xie Weixing remained silent for a long while, then slowly sighed: "Damn. I got a gold one."

System anxiety: The spiritual veins haven't been repaired yet, so you can't control even the most powerful spiritual artifacts.

Xie Weixing was too lazy to pay attention to it.

As long as you survive, there's always a way out.

At this moment, all sounds of wind and water in the entire Night Water Abyss ceased.

The myriad energies flowing around him no longer wantonly washed over Xie Weixing's body, but instead gathered towards the golden longbow, flowing slowly along the bow and transforming into the purest life force, which flowed into the boy's limbs, bones, and soul.

Xie Weixing's severed spiritual veins and damaged spiritual roots were actually... slowly healing.

[Light bypasses your angelic face]

[Everyone, please welcome the rebirth of the Awakened Emperor! This is an order.]

[What you say comes true? Xie Weixing, you truly are born with royal destiny, no explanation needed.]

The system was shocked: Just what is its origin? This spiritual spring is already incredibly powerful enough to reshape the physical body, but this spiritual artifact? It can actually reshape spiritual veins?

The pain of tempering the body with the spiritual spring is the physical suffering of the mortals, but the reshaping power guided by the golden bow at this moment is a marrow-like pain that overturns the foundation and rewrites the origin of cultivation.

Like sulfuric acid corroding the bones, it adheres to the inside of the bone and blood, unable to detach, and exists forever.

Xie Weixing shuddered, his body stiffening abruptly as he barely managed to steady himself.

System in a state of emergency: How are you?

Xie Weixing: Do you even need to ask? Of course I'm not doing well, it hurts like hell.

His spiritual veins had been modified in the past, resulting in insufficient resilience and extremely weak load-bearing capacity. After being seriously injured, they were on the verge of being scrapped.

At this moment, the golden vitality, gentle yet powerful, gradually widened his narrow meridians, repaired his broken spiritual veins, and reshaped every inch of his skin.

The golden life force slowly dragged him into the spiritual spring, causing him to sink to the bottom.

The lion-like man frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

"This is the treasure that guards the Abyss of Night Water, and it is also an important source for the rapid growth of countless creatures in Ten Thousand Swords Mountain," Yuan Heng said in a deep voice, slowly uttering a name, "Above the God level, the Emperor's Command God."

"An imperial decree?" The azure lion trembled. "Is it the legendary Source of All Spirits, which has long since vanished?"

"Yes," Yuan Heng said solemnly, "For thousands of years, the Divine Master of the Emperor has remained silent in the Spring of Spirits, never concerning himself with worldly affairs... Yet today he has stepped forward to save this young man."

Xie Weixing closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness along with his body. He clearly saw that his originally gray and white spiritual sea was gradually shedding its mortal nature and becoming stained with layers of golden luster.

The damaged spiritual root was completely rebuilt, and the spiritual veins were also restored.

Xie Weixing slowly opened his eyes, a clear and dazzling golden light flashing in his eyes. He could only see the blurry bottom of the water and the golden spiritual energy shining through the surface.

The system's voice trembled: "Tell me properly, tell me honestly, do you have other systems?"

Xie Weixing laughed in anger.

I wish it really existed.

The system sighed: I bought you a calming talisman, which can help you absorb more spiritual energy. Your current state is still too fragile. You must sink your spiritual energy into your spiritual veins at the bottom of the spring.

Xie Weixing: How long will it take before I can get out?

System: I don't know, let's just consider it seclusion.

Yuan Heng looked at the boy who had sunk to the bottom of the spring, his expression thoughtful.

"boom--!!!!!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing the entire Ten Thousand Swords Mountain to tremble.

Dark purple lightning swept across the sky, and Yuan Heng instantly looked up, his expression cold and stern.

A cold, sharp female voice rang out like a thunderclap.

"Yuanheng," he said, his voice filled with boundless rage, "My man is at Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. Bring him out here."

I'm easily moved to tears, so I cried while writing these chapters. My emotions were unstable, and they feel a bit rough. I'll revise them later when I have a chance. Thank you all for your understanding. My son is about to get his third spiritual weapon, and in the next chapter, your Crown Prince brother will go to seek revenge on Su Boyu. Tangtang will also be back soon; I won't let him wander outside for long.
