The forest was silent and there was not even the sound of the night wind.
Ye Chen's words were clearly transmitted into the three's ears, causing them to be astonished.
Especially Xuanyuan Xiu. He even thought that he was hallucinating and could not believe what he had just heard. Ye Chen was willing to help him condense a body to be reborn?
"Ye Chen, what you just said … is it true?"
Even Xuanyuan Xiu, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, could not help but tremble. He could not accept it.
As for Left Glabella and Heaven Blood Saint King, they looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
"To condense a body, you need four key items: the Heart of a Real Dragon, the Soul Stone, the Branch of the Ultimacy Dao Fruit Tree and the Corpse of a Real Phoenix. Three of them were collected by Senior Xuanyuan. Even the Corpse of a Sacred Phoenix could not be recognized if Senior Xuanyuan had not reminded us. This opportunity should be given to you."
Ye Chen spoke tirelessly with a calm expression. He was not acting on impulse at all.
He was thinking about condensing a body all the time so that Wu Zhenzi could be resurrected and reappear in front of him.
At the same time, he knew that Xuanyuan Xiu also wanted to be reborn.
His desire was greater than anyone else's!
After all, compared to Wu Zhenzi, Xuanyuan Xiu had existed as a remnant soul for over a hundred thousand years. During that long period of time, he had lived a lonely life. The only thing that kept him alive was his rebirth in a shell.
Now, the opportunity was right in front of him. How could Ye Chen let Xuanyuan Xiu continue to wait for a long time just for his own sake? That would be too cruel.
"These four key items were supposed to belong to you. I was just playing with my mouth." Xuanyuan Xiu also knew what Ye Chen was thinking, and said with a disappointed smile.
"If no one recognizes a precious pearl, it is no different from a stone. Moreover, if it was not for Senior Xuanyuan's guidance, I would have died long ago from the Qinwu Dynasty. It would be impossible for me to learn the Array Inscription Dao. Please don't reject me."
Ye Chen spoke with incomparable certainty, causing Xuanyuan Xiu to feel somewhat embarrassed.
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zuo Qiumei. She said angrily, "Xuanyuan Xiu, you don't have to decline anymore. Wu Zhenzi's death has only been a year ago, but you have waited for more than a hundred thousand years. Why give up this opportunity for the sake of morality? Be straightforward and accept it."
"Mei 'er is right. After you reconstruct your body, you can collect more treasures and try to help Wu Zhenzi reconstruct his body as soon as possible," Heaven Blood Saint King advised.
Seeing the three of them say so, Xuanyuan Xiu could not refuse anymore. He nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll accept deferentially rather than decline courteously."
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Xiu's old face actually turned a bit red. There was a bit of excitement, but more than that, he was moved. Glistening teardrops appeared in his eyes.
The three burst out laughing after witnessing the scene.
Since they were going to refine their bodies, they naturally could not do it in the wilderness. Without hesitation, the four of them immediately set off and rushed towards Cold Ice City.
In the process of rushing, Ye Chen used the Sound Transmission Jade Slip to inform Uncle Ying and the others about the matter of refining his body. He also asked them to prepare the rest of the Spiritual Materials as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, Cold Ice City, which had been peaceful for a long time, was in full swing again. Everyone was frantically searching for Spiritual Materials.
Two days later, Ye Chen returned to Cold Ice City. Uncle Ying and the others had already gathered all the Spiritual Materials and had emptied the entire mountain peak. They had also sent many experts to guard it. It was extremely grand.
Xuanyuan Xiu saw these actions and he was beyond moved. It was as if he had returned to more than a hundred thousand years ago, when he was still a disciple of the Array Sect. Everyone was harmonious and helping each other. It was all from the bottom of their hearts and it was not fake.
"Since everything is ready, let's begin." Left Glabella was a straightforward person who did not like to drag things out.
Refining the body was not a simple matter. After thinking about it, Xuanyuan Xiu decided to hand it over to Left Glabella. Left Glabella also agreed without hesitation. She was very forthright.
Everyone understood and retreated one after another, and they stood guard outside the hall silently.
"I'm ready to begin."
Left Glabella was also a little nervous. She took a deep breath and formed hand seals with both hands. A vigorous Soul Power gushed out of her body and wrapped around Xuanyuan Xiu's soul.
"Condense!"
Zuo Qiumei let out a low cry. Her soul moved according to her will. All of her soul power immediately condensed and poured into the Soul Stone with unparalleled force, causing the Soul Stone to tremble continuously. Finally, a crack appeared on the Soul Stone.
Rumbling sounds could be heard. After the Soul Stone shattered, a milky white aura was attached to the Ultimacy Dao Fruit Tree Branch. At the same time, the Sacred Phoenix's corpse began to split and the True Dragon's Heart started to beat as if it had regained its vitality.
"Ye Chen, you must observe carefully." Heaven Blood Saint King suddenly said.
He pointed to the front and taught, "There are four key items to refine the body. The Soul Stone is the brain, where the soul resides. The True Dragon's Heart is the heart, where the vitality is derived. The Sacred Phoenix's corpse is the bloodline, where the flesh and blood are formed. As for the Ultimacy Dao Fruit Tree Branch, it is the limbs and bones. It supports the first three items to form a real human body."
"Just now, Xuanyuan Xiu's soul entered the Soul Stone and was cleansed of impurities. Then, his soul beat the True Dragon's Heart to derive vitality. The vitality filled the air and provided the foundation to refine the flesh and blood. When the flesh and blood appeared, the limbs and bones would naturally have meaning."
Heaven Blood Saint King's words were deep and shallow. Ye Chen understood the origin of life. In his mind, thousands of lights flashed as if he had grasped a key point.
At this moment, more than half of the body had been refined.
As the flesh and blood gathered, the body began to take the shape of a human. It slowly floated up like a whirlpool, crazily devouring the Genuine Vitality in the void.
"The shape is complete. Next, it should be time to refine the Primordial Sea."
Heaven Blood Saint King was overjoyed. He said to Ye Chen, "Release the Divine Ice Mirror and help Xuanyuan Xiu."
"Alright." Ye Chen nodded and could not wait to summon the Divine Ice Mirror.
Buzz!
Buzz! Once the Divine Ice Mirror appeared, it immediately emitted endless cold blue light. The cold light enveloped the body but did not turn into ice. Instead, it turned into water droplets and merged into the body.
"The Green Fire Sacred Phoenix originally possessed the Extreme Yang Fire. Moreover, the corpse contained a trace of Divine Path Qi. When it came into contact with the cold air of the Divine Ice Mirror, the Ice and Fire formed a force that could refine the body better. I'm afraid that even Xuanyuan Xiu did not expect this."
Hearing Heaven Blood Saint King's words, everyone was overjoyed as they looked at the sky.
They looked at the sky for three days.
After three days, when the sun rose and the first rays of the morning sun shone down, the sound of rolling thunder suddenly resounded on the peak.
The sound of the thunder became louder and louder, causing the people guarding outside the main hall to frown. It was strange. There were no dark clouds in the sky, but there was thunder. They had never seen such a situation before.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down. It was as thick as a water tank and was like a snake. It ignored the Nine Chill Nether Formation and bombarded the main hall, causing the entire peak to shake violently.
After the lightning dissipated, everyone hurriedly rushed over. They discovered that the Nine Chill Nether Formation was not damaged, and the entire hall was as good as before. The only difference was that the body floating above the hall had unknowingly descended.
