Chapter Eighty-Nine: Dominating Rescue

Afterward, Muya explained to Yun Chuxue why she had saved her, leaving Yun Chuxue somewhat speechless at Muya's response.

"Curiosity."

"Curiosity?"

"Actually, there was also an element of gambling involved. After all, a spirit master with damaged meridians like yours needed to rebuild them to cultivate. But not only were your meridians damaged, your spiritual sea was almost collapsing as well. So, we used sealing methods to let your meridians self-recover."

"But it's also your credit. If you had given up and not persevered back then, you would still be a wreck now. Hahaha~"

The high priestess also chuckled in agreement, while Yun Chuxue laughed awkwardly, acknowledging the truth in Muya's words.

Later, Muya recounted everything she had done for Yun Chuxue over the past two years, deeply moving her to tears. In gratitude, Yun Chuxue promised to help eliminate the hidden danger of the spiritual beast attacks.

The Next Day

Under the guidance of the high priestess, Yun Chuxue ascended to the sacred altar in the tribe.

Around the altar were eight piles of spirit grass, stacked like small mountains. Yun Chuxue asked in confusion, "High Priestess, what are these spirit grasses for?"

"Leader said that to stabilize your strength, she wants you to undergo closed-door cultivation here. According to ancient methods, these spirit grasses can help you stabilize your strength faster."

"Okay."

With that, the high priestess activated the formation, and Yun Chuxue sat at the center. The energies from the eight colored spirit grasses converged into a ring around the center.

Before leaving, the high priestess reminded her, "Miss, your meridians were damaged last time due to the depletion of spiritual power when you forcefully used it. So, during this time, you can try reverse-cultivating your meridians. It might benefit you."

"Reverse-cultivating my meridians... I'll give it a try."

"Alright."

After the high priestess left, Yun Chuxue closed her eyes, absorbing the energy from the spirit grasses and feeling the turbulent energy circulating through her meridians.

These energies roamed through her body like giant beasts, clinging to every meridian. Her meridians were expanding as if about to rupture.

Yun Chuxue sweated profusely but gritted her teeth and persisted. Her goal now was to absorb all the energy to the best of her ability.

Eventually, these energies converged at her spiritual sea, rapidly filling it up. A month later, Yun Chuxue felt her spiritual sea on the brink of bursting, her head throbbing, and her vision darkening.

To fully absorb the energy, she had to compress it completely during absorption.

Yun Chuxue spent a full six months compressing the energy in her spiritual sea until she felt incredibly relaxed.

Subsequently, she compressed the energy during absorption into her spiritual sea. Because the energy was too vast, Yun Chuxue tried to channel it into the spatial ring given to her by Moxi, unexpectedly succeeding. It took her two years and five months to fill her spiritual sea completely, with the remaining energy stored in the ring, accounting for seven or eight tenths of the total energy.

The eight piles of spirit grasses had turned into a dark color, and their energy had been completely absorbed and stored by Yun Chuxue. She now felt like a ball of explosive energy.

At that moment, a familiar voice sounded in her spiritual sea.

"Yun Chuxue, not bad at all, using my spatial ring as your energy storage tool?"

The voice of dissatisfaction brought Yun Chuxue great joy. "Moxi, you're finally awake."

"You've done well to store the energy. I was planning to remind you, but it seems you beat me to it."

"Moxi, why is the energy in these spirit grasses so vast?"

"It's because of the formation. It fully releases all the energy in the spirit grasses. This is the Liberation Formation."

"No wonder. Now, is it useful for me to reverse-cultivate my meridians?"

"At the moment, reverse-cultivating your meridians only has one benefit: it allows you to cultivate two different energies, indirectly expanding your spiritual sea."

"I currently have eight spiritual bodies. Is that a kind of energy?"

"Yes, these fundamentally belong to one type of energy, the purest form of yang energy."

Yun Chuxue was stunned. It was the first time she had heard of this concept. Then, Moxi continued,

"In the most pure yang form, there's not only spiritual power but also sacred power. In the most extreme yin form, there's demonic power and demonic energy, with spiritual power being the purest, sacred power the most yang, demonic power the most evil, and demonic energy the most yin. There's also a special type known as temporal energy."

Yun Chuxue was somewhat bewildered. Moxi looked down on her and said, "Forget it, forget it. You'll know later. For now, just reverse-cultivate your meridians, and I'll assist you."

"Alright."

Yun Chuxue began to reverse cultivate using her previous cultivation methods. The pain was excruciating, feeling like her whole body was being torn apart.

As she continued to reverse her meridians, Yun Chuxue was on the verge of passing out from the pain. But when she thought about her unresolved vendetta, how could she give up so easily?

Growing increasingly frenzied, Yun Chuxue disregarded the pain and forcefully continued the reverse cultivation.

Visible bloodstains appeared all over Yun Chuxue's body, and the flowing blood had permeated her entire being.

Two years later, Yun Chuxue successfully reversed her meridians. With Moxi's assistance, her spiritual sea was now twice as large as before. However, another area remained empty.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Chuxue felt incredibly relaxed. Seeing the dried bloodstains on her clothes, she changed into a clean robe. "It's more comfortable wearing the old clothes."

"Moxi, what happened to you when Muya sealed your powers?" Hearing Yun Chuxue's concerned words, Moxi couldn't help but feel touched.

"After that battle, my soul power was depleted, and I fell into a deep sleep. But during my slumber, as long as you didn't die, I would use all my strength to kill anyone who tried to harm you. However, I would also permanently disappear."

Upon hearing Moxi's words, Yun Chuxue decided that she would rather die than let Moxi be harmed in any way in the future.

As Yun Chuxue descended the stairs, she noticed a faint smell of blood in the air. Sensing trouble, she quickly rushed forward with her Moonchant Sword in hand.

Just a few days ago, Cangming Poisonous Wolf suddenly led some other races of spiritual beasts in a fierce attack on Muya's tribe.

Muya had thought she could hold out for a month as before, but yesterday, the outer wall was breached.

Muya immediately ordered all residents to gather at the center, while all soldiers rushed to the front lines.

Now, Muya was battling the Wolf King of Cangming Poisonous Wolf. She had thought she could easily defeat the Wolf King, but unexpectedly, the Wolf King deliberately injured her to draw her closer and severely wound her.

Covered in blood and with several broken bones, Muya was unable to continue fighting.

Surrounded by many spiritual beasts, she was prepared to die. Earlier, she had received news of heavy casualties among most of the soldiers, and the tribe could not be saved.

As numerous spiritual beasts pounced towards Muya, a blue-white beam of light shot from a distance, smashing into the ground and killing all the spiritual beasts surrounding her.

Muya was astonished, thinking that a peerless expert had come to her aid. When the dust settled, a girl in white robes holding a blue-white jade sword stood before her.

This person was none other than Yun Chuxue, who had returned after completing her cultivation.

Approaching Muya to heal her wounds, Yun Chuxue weakly said, "Muya, you've finally returned." Then, pointing to the beasts, she added, "These beasts have killed most of our tribe's soldiers. Help me avenge them."

"Okay."

Yun Chuxue carried Muya into the air, watching as the beasts climbed frantically towards the city walls. With a single stroke of her sword, Yun Chuxue knocked them down.

The cries of the beasts continued to echo.

Placing Muya on the city wall and instructing the soldiers to take care of her, Yun Chuxue was about to get up when she said to Muya, "Muya, watch closely. I'll avenge you."

In an instant, she flew to the sky above the Wolf King and, in a commanding tone, shouted, "You dare to attack humans audaciously. Have you forgotten how the previous Wolf King died?"

The Cangming Poisonous Wolf hesitated for a moment but quickly entered into battle mode.

With a cold snort, Yun Chuxue swiftly cleaved the Wolf King in half, too fast for Muya to even see her movements.

Sighing, Muya said, "Is she already this powerful?"

After dealing with the Wolf King, Yun Chuxue began to attack the other spiritual beasts.

She had expected the smaller wolves and other types of spiritual beasts to flee after the death of the Wolf King, but they stubbornly persisted. So, Yun Chuxue began a relentless slaughter.

It took her an entire day to kill all the attacking spiritual beasts, leaving none alive.
