Chapter 20: Xuan’er, Is That You? (1/2)

The little fairy, corresponding to the strength of Ning Wuxie, a young genius, had already made loose cultivators believe that Ning Wuxie was destined for the Nine Realms of the Immortal Path. At such a young age, calling him a little fairy was not an exaggeration.

As for the peach, it was a refinement of the content from the recording orb.

That was truly impressive, leaving everyone in awe.

Ning Wuxie still did not know that he had been given such a nickname, as he remained in the room guarding Xuan’er’s light cocoon.

For him at that moment, nothing was more important than Xuan’er’s awakening.

The Divine Spiritual Body could absorb the Laws of the Great Dao, and future achievements would be unimaginable.

From what Ning Wuxie had observed, he could not understand why he and Li Luobing had been able to defeat Jiang Ningxuan.

She should have been strong enough to defy the heavens, even to the point where this realm could not accommodate her!

How could she have been led to her demise by Ning Wuxie and Li Luobing, two individuals from the Earth Immortal Realm?

While feeling puzzled, Ning Wuxie also wanted to uncover the secret behind it.

At this moment, he had to protect Xuan’er and ensure her normal and smooth development.

Ning Wuxie attempted to inject a trace of spiritual power into the light cocoon to assist Xuan’er’s awakening, but that trace of spiritual power immediately dissipated and escaped upon contact with the light cocoon, as if snowwater had met magma.

This also reassured Ning Wuxie, as it proved that Xuan’er was safe and that ordinary people would find it difficult to harm her.

The food at home was running low, so Ning Wuxie needed to go to the valley to procure some supplies, but he felt uneasy leaving Xuan’er alone at home.

Currently, Xuan’er resembled a silent little pet, only able to express her feelings through the brightness and dimness of the light cocoon.

When Ning Wuxie was beside her, the light cocoon radiated a warm and peaceful brightness. However, if he went outside to cultivate or cook and did not return for a while, the light cocoon would dim and even tremble slightly.

It looked as if she was anxious, calling for Ning Wuxie to return.

Seeing Xuan’er like this, Ning Wuxie could not bear to leave her alone at home, even for an afternoon. He could only eat a little less each day, hoping to last until Xuan’er awakened.

……

It had been a week since Xuan’er entered the cocoon.

After injecting some spiritual power into the Absolute Cloud Negative Qi Array, Ning Wuxie looked at the courtyard gate, but there was still no movement.

The food at home had run out for two days, and that damned Qin Jiuyou had not come by even once. Ning Wuxie had hoped to ask him for some food.

Not only Qin Jiuyou, but no other sect or force had come by since then. Ning Wuxie estimated that his initial plan had already been realized.

In the eyes of those major forces that viewed him as a threat, the necessity to eliminate him had likely diminished.

Compared to this, the feeling of hunger was hardly worth mentioning. After all, he was also a Refining Qi cultivator, and going without food for ten days or half a month was not a big deal.

But what about Xuan’er? She had not eaten for so many days either; she might wake up feeling hungry!

After cursing Qin Jiuyou and Liu Zhiyue a couple more times in his heart, Ning Wuxie closed the wooden door and returned to the small bed in the room.

He held Xuan’er’s light cocoon in his arms, covering it with a blanket, as if cradling a small moon.

“Sleep well, Xuan’er,” Ning Wuxie whispered, closing his eyes.

Just as sleepiness was about to overtake him, Ning Wuxie suddenly felt a strong light shining before him.

He opened his eyes, but everything appeared normal, with only Xuan’er’s light cocoon still quietly lying there. Just when he thought he had misperceived, the light cocoon before him emitted an intense glow once again!

The brightness of the light cocoon pulsed like breathing, flickering between bright and dim! From the initial slow and prolonged rhythm, it gradually became faster and more urgent, as if someone was continuously lighting and extinguishing a lamp.

Ning Wuxie stared in shock at the light cocoon, feeling an immense excitement within.

The final awakening was coming!

Finally, at a certain moment, the light cocoon stopped flickering and maintained a brightness as bright as daylight.

The entire room was illuminated, and even the small courtyard outside was clearly visible. Fortunately, the Absolute Cloud Negative Qi Array could block these anomalies.

A warm aura emanated from the light cocoon, and a sense of ancient, profound, and sacred energy suddenly descended into the small room. Initially, Ning Wuxie only felt warmth in front of him, but later, the heat gradually increased to the point of being scorching!

Yet, Ning Wuxie did not retreat in the slightest, standing firm before the light cocoon.

Crack—

A crisp sound rang out as several cracks appeared on the light cocoon, and light burst forth.

Then, the light cocoon began to peel away in pieces, collapsing inward. Inside the light cocoon was an even brighter source of light, almost pure white. Ning Wuxie saw the fragments of the light cocoon being drawn into the light source, absorbed by Xuan’er.

Ning Wuxie held his breath, knowing that this phenomenon was among the most extraordinary he had encountered in his years of cultivation.

Until the light cocoon completely shattered and fell away, the scene inside was fully revealed. It was a curled-up female figure, still radiating a sacred glow.
