There were about 20 to 30 drops of Soul Cleansing Water in the bottle. Such a treasure was invaluable. Moreover, the bottle was half empty.

Nian Yuexian suddenly realised something, so she asked, “Did he consume this before?”

Yi Yi nodded. In fact, Lu Ye frequently consumed the treasure. The item was precious to others, but it was ordinary to Lu Ye as he had plenty of it.

“It’s no wonder.” Nian Yuexian let out a breath.

While on her way back, there was something she didn’t understand.

A furious Wan Zhanggang had launched a Soul Attack against Lu Ye. Supposedly, given the huge gap between their powers, there was no way Lu Ye could fend it off. He shouldn’t only pass out. The most likely outcome was that his Divine Soul would be shattered, and he would instantly lose his life.

But in truth, he didn’t die; he only blacked out.

Therefore, it could be said that Lu Ye’s Divine Soul was stronger than those of most Real Lake Realm Masters.

It wasn’t until this moment that Nian Yuexian understood the reason behind it.

His previous consumption of Soul Cleansing Water must have strengthened his Divine Soul. Moreover, he must’ve consumed it more than once.

Nian Yuexian immediately set her mind at ease. Considering Lu Ye’s situation, it was troublesome to heal his soul. Now that they had Soul Cleansing Water, the problem could be solved easily.

Furthermore, his Divine Soul was already powerful in the first place, so his injury was surely not as severe as she thought.

She raised her hand and brought a drop of Soul Cleansing Water out of the bottle with her Spiritual Power. Then, she pried Lu Ye’s mouth open and placed the droplet into it.

Suddenly, she almost lost her balance. She had been tensed up earlier, so she had forgotten about her injury. Now that she was at ease, her pain and weariness swept over her.

Yi Yi hurriedly supported her weight. “Please get some rest, Big Sister Xian. I’ll take care of him.”

Nian Yuexian nodded. “I’ll leave him to you, then.”

Upon finishing her words, she went somewhere else and sat down cross-legged. Then, she fished out some Healing Pills from her Storage Sphere and consumed them.

She didn’t leave the room because she was worried those from Thousand Demon Ridge might come to attack them, though it wasn’t likely to happen.

At night, the sound of breaking through the air was heard. Yi Yi was alarmed while Amber growled.

Nian Yuexian opened her eyes. “Don’t worry. It’s your Second Senior Sister.”

Soon enough, a familiar figure flew into the room through the window. She was none other than Shui Yuan.

“Second Senior Sister.” Yi Yi hurriedly went over.

“How is he?” Without even greeting Nian Yuexian, Shui Yuan rushed towards the bed to examine Lu Ye.

Yi Yi told her about Lu Ye’s condition in a small voice. It wasn’t until the examination was over that Shui Yuan appeared relieved.

“He’s fine. I’m sure he’ll regain consciousness soon.”

Upon hearing that, Yi Yi finally felt assured. She had no idea how well-versed Shui Yuan was in the Way of Medicine, but in her heart, the latter was the best Medical Cultivator in the world. Since Shui Yuan said Lu Ye was fine, he would surely recover in no time.

Shui Yuan then rose to her feet and turned around. Glaring at Nian Yuexian, who was seated cross-legged in the corner, she demanded, “Give me an explanation!”

Due to the fact that there wasn’t any war in Blue Flame Mountain Pass, Shui Yuan contacted Nian Yuexian and told her to head to Grand Sky City to snatch Lu Ye away. Much to her surprise, not long after Lu Ye arrived at this place, he became injured and passed out.

If Shui Yuan knew this would happen, she wouldn’t have sent Lu Ye to this place.

Nian Yuexian lowered her head in silence as her hair hung loose around her chest.

Seeing how intense the atmosphere was, Yi Yi hurriedly said, “Second Senior Sister, it has nothing to do with Big Sister Xian…”

She then briefly explained to her what had happened.

Shui Yuan was torn between fury and laughter as she listened to the tale. Then, she turned around to glower at Lu Ye and grit her teeth.

Lu Ye was an inexperienced and relatively weak young man, but he still dared to save a damsel in distress. He even almost lost his life because of it.

Strictly speaking, Nian Yuexian couldn’t be blamed for this incident. Any Real Lake Realm Master would stay away from the battle between Divine Ocean Realm Masters, but Lu Ye had the guts to have a hand in that.

What was strange was that he managed to save Nian Yuexian’s life.

Yi Yi’s explanation was vague. There were things she had to hide from them. For example, the Tree of Glyphs was Lu Ye’s biggest secret. Only the two of them were aware of it.

There were also things she wasn’t sure about. For example, she didn’t know Lu Ye could use the Phoenix Wings Glyph.

Seeing that Shui Yuan was still furious, Yi Yi quickly explained, “Second Senior Sister, Lu Ye has a way to save his life. He has a Golden Body Token with him.”

After Lu Ye’s return from the Peerless Continent, the Heavens granted him a special reward. He could choose any treasure from the Hall of Battle Points. He directly picked up the Golden Body Token.

The item was worth 200,000 battle points in the Hall of Battle Points. Moreover, Lu Ye had used a Golden Body Token before, so he knew it was a special item that could save his life.

There were times when he almost activated the treasure in Lone Cloud City Pass, but he was always interrupted at the most critical moments.

“Golden Body Token…” Shui Yuan was surprised. “It’s no wonder he’s so reckless! However, a Golden Body Token can’t always ensure his safety. Although a Divine Ocean Realm Master can’t shatter the Golden Body Token’s protection, he can entrap Lu Ye. When the Golden Body loses effect, he’ll be doomed!”

Yi Yi nodded repeatedly. “I know. Don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on him.”

Shui Yuan donned a milder expression, knowing that she had overreacted.

A cultivator’s journey wasn’t a smooth sailing one. If there were no challenges in his life, he wouldn’t achieve much.

Shui Yuan was just vexed that Lu Ye fell into danger not long after he came to Blue Flame Mountain Pass. She was pondering if she should send Lu Ye to another Pass, but if she did that, Lu Ye might be targeted by those who were resentful of the Crimson Blood Sect. As such, it would be safer for him to stay by Nian Yuexian’s side.

Without hesitation, Shui Yuan decided to treat Lu Ye’s injury first.

Then, she walked up to Nian Yuexian and looked at her in frustration. “Why are you always like this? When others criticise you, why don’t you refute them?”

“It was my fault for failing to protect him,” Nian Yuexian whispered.

Shui Yuan sighed and sat down in front of her to examine her injury.

Soon enough, she was surprised because she detected Lu Ye’s aura and vitality in Nian Yuexian’s body.

She looked doubtfully at her best friend, not understanding what had happened. She didn’t think the two of them had done something suspicious.

When Nian Yuexian saw the doubt on the woman’s face, her pale face suddenly flushed. “It’s not like what you think. Your Junior Brother has some amazing abilities. He’s able to use some special Glyphs.”

“Huh?”

Nian Yuexian then told her what happened after Lu Ye activated the Phoenix Wings Glyph.

Shui Yuan instantly appeared astonished. She had never heard of a Glyph that would allow two people to share their bodies and heritages.

After giving it some thought, she said, “He had acquired a Glyphweaver’s inheritance on the Spirit Creek Battlefield back then. Perhaps it’s part of the inheritance.”

Only then did Nian Yuexian realise what happened.

Both Nian Yuanxian and Lu Ye were badly injured. However, one of them was a Divine Ocean Realm Master while the other had immense vitality in his body. As such, despite their serious injuries, their foundations were not affected. It would only take them some time to fully recover.

Time went by slowly. With Shui Yuan there to take care of them, it only took Lu Ye and Nian Yuexian three days to recover.

What made them worried was that Lu Ye was still unconscious.

Following another examination, Yi Yi asked anxiously, “Second Senior Sister, why isn’t Lu Ye awake yet?”

Although Lu Ye’s Divine Soul was wounded, he had consumed a drop of Soul Cleansing Water. Following several days of recuperation, he should regain consciousness by now.

But for some reason, he was still unconscious. Even Shui Yuan couldn’t figure out the reason behind it. She had never come across such a condition before.

“Damage in one’s soul is a complicated condition. I can’t identify what the problem is. If I want to look into it, I’ll have to…” Shui Yuan appeared hesitant.

Yi Yi had no idea what she wanted to do, but Nian Yuexian realised her intention. “Do you want to enter his body with your soul?”

Shui Yuan nodded. “Only by doing so can I find out what went wrong.”

“It’ll be dangerous.” Nian Yuexian appeared solemn.

Shui Yuan glanced at her and said impassively, “He’s my Junior Brother. Surely, I know it’ll be dangerous.”

[Why are you even anxious?]

In fact, it would only be dangerous to Lu Ye. After all, he wasn’t a Divine Ocean Realm Master, so he didn’t have his own Divine Ego, and the defence of his Divine Soul wouldn’t be too strong. If a foreign force invaded his soul, it might cause some serious damage.

Upon hearing that, Nian Yuexian looked away.

“Set up a Ward and stand guard!” Shui Yuan was a resolute person. Since she had made a decision, she immediately took action.

Nian Yuexian dashed out of the room. Soon enough, sounds of breaking through the air were heard coming from outside. It was apparent that she was building a Grand Ward.

Around two hours later, she returned and nodded at Shui Yuan. She was a Divine Ocean Realm Master, and a Grand Ward had been set up. Even if some Thousand Demon Ridge cultivators came to attack, they could protect themselves for quite a while.

Only then did Shui Yuan take a deep breath and raise her hand before pointing a finger at Lu Ye’s forehead. The next moment, she closed her eyes and activated her Divine Ego.

It was easy for a Divine Ocean Realm Master’s Divine Ego to penetrate a Real Lake Realm Master’s mind. However, Shui Yuan soon felt some powerful resistance. It was as though there was an invisible force that stopped her soul from entering Lu Ye’s body.

She had never expected this to happen, so she was shocked.

She wanted to look into Lu Ye’s body and find out why he was still unconscious. As such, she had to enter his body with her soul. If she couldn’t even do that, how was she supposed to achieve her goal?

It was unless she forcefully broke through the defence. However, if she did that, she would cause some irreversible damage to Lu Ye, just like what happened when Wan Zhanggang attacked Lu Ye with his Divine Ego.

Lu Ye only ascended to the Real Lake Realm not long ago, but his soul was already powerful enough to defend itself. Moreover, his soul had taken the initiative to protect itself as Lu Ye didn’t do anything.

The situation was slightly awkward as she couldn’t even carry out her first step. Since she couldn’t forcefully break into his mind, she could only retreat and come up with another solution.

Just as she was ready to do that, the force that resisted her Divine Ego suddenly disappeared. It was as though a gap had been opened up to her.
