The Immortal Emperor Returns Chapter 199 - A Chance of Life!

Chapter 199 A Chance of Life!

Green mountains and rivers could be seen here. A small bridge was over the flowing stream and a wooden house was beside the stream. Lush vegetation and blooming flowers were everywhere.
It was winter, and everything had withered away. If someone saw such a beautiful scene, he would definitely be very surprised!
The air was filled with a strong smell of herbal medicines, which was coming from a huge stone tripod.
Glug glug!
The green liquid in the stone tripod was boiling and a young man was taking a medicated bath in the stone tripod with his eyes closed.
The green liquid continually entered the young man’s body through his pores. After a circulation inside his body, the green liquid came out again. The only difference was that the green liquid had become as clear as water. They had been completely absorbed by the young man.
About half an hour later, the green liquid in the stone tripod became crystal clear.
“It benefited you a lot.”
A middle-aged man, who was wearing an ancient robe and a crown, muttered with a serious expression.
Whoola!
Water splashed in all directions as the middle-aged man carried the young man out of the stone tripod.
The middle-aged man raised his hand lightly and turned the stone tripod upside down. After all the water inside flew out, he waved his hand and led the water from the stream to it. Soon, the stone tripod was filled. Then, with a flip of his hand, a few spiritual herbs and spiritual elixirs that were shining with colorful light were thrown into the stone tripod.
After that, he tapped in the air with one finger, and white flame rose under the stone tripod. After a moment, the clear water in the tripod became green and started to boil.
Plop!
The young man was thrown into the stone tripod.
Not far from the stone tripod, there was an ice coffin that was sparkling and translucent. Inside the coffin was an exceptional beauty, who was extremely delicate. She was lying inside the coffin, as if she was asleep.
The young man was continuously absorbing the medicinal liquid in the stone tripod, while the middle-aged man was constantly changing the herbs for him.
In this way, it went on for more than half a month.
On this day, the young man in the tripod was suddenly surrounded by colorful light, and even his hair became sparkling and translucent. Unfortunately, the hair on his temples was still white. He opened his eyes and looked at the sky. His gaze was like a sharp sword.
After a long time, he withdrew his eyes and looked around. Then his eyes moved to the middle-aged man who was fishing leisurely.
“You saved me again,” Chu Xun said.
“Yeah, I was so unlucky to save you again.” The middle-aged man was Emperor Ao, whose tone was extremely dissatisfied. In the past few days, Chu Xun had used a large number of spiritual herbs and spiritual elixirs, which he had a hundred years in gathering.
Chu Xun felt a little embarrassed when he heard Emperor Ao’s words.
“I have already prepared the clothes for you.” Without looking back, Emperor Ao said.
Chu Xun saw it. He jumped out of the tripod and put on his clothes.
Chu Xun’s face was handsome, and his eyes were like stars. Dressing in white glazed robe, he was very good-looking. Besides, the white hair on his temples added a bit of maturity to him.
Chu Xun’s eyes were suddenly fixed on the ice coffin.
After a long time, he stopped thinking about it and made a bow towards Emperor Ao from afar, saying, “Thank you very much!”
The fishing rod in Emperor Ao’s hand trembled and he quickly took it back. A small red fish, as big as one’s palm, was taken out of the water by him.
The little red fish did not struggle when Emperor Ao took it off the hook. Then he threw it back into the pool, causing water to splash.
Emperor Ao threw the broken fishhook aside and stood up. Only then did he respond to Chu Xun, but he made an irrelevant speech.
“I have asked Long Ao to send your parents back to Qianlong Mountain.”
Chu Xun was slightly startled and then felt relieved. The magic formation that he had placed on Qianlong Mountain was not worth mentioning to Emperor Ao at all.
“Thank you!”
Chu Xun thanked him again.
“You should thank me,” Emperor Ao, with his hands behind his back, walked to the ice coffin and muttered with a confused expression, “Her three souls and seven spirits have been seriously damaged. But one of her seven spirits, holy spirit, was gone. It is really weird.”
“What did you say?” Chu Xun’s expression changed.
“I mean, she can still be saved,” said Emperor Ao casually.
Chu Xun’s breath suddenly became disorder, which stirred up the air around him. His eyes were filled with hope.
“Calm down...” Emperor Ao said unhappily, “You have just recovered. If something happens again, I will not care about you.”
Chu Xun also realized that he had lost control. He quickly restrained himself and asked in an anxious voice, “What’s going on?”
“You also know that people have three souls and seven spirits. When people die, their souls will dissipate first, and then the spirits. Because of her special constitution, your girlfriend actually sealed her own souls and spirits. Although her souls and spirits are seriously damaged, as long as they have not dissipated, it is possible to cure her. But, the strange thing is that... one of her seven spirits disappeared.”
“Are Little Wu’s souls and spirits still in the world? Why didn’t I notice it before?” Chu Xun was both shocked and happy.
“You?” Emperor Ao glanced at him with disdain and said, “Do you think you can thoroughly understand the Energy Absorbing Constitution with your cultivation?”
Chu Xun did not want to care about the disdain of Emperor Ao anymore. The most important thing was to save Little Wu.
“Don’t celebrate it too early. You know what you need to cure the damaged soul, don’t you?”
Emperor Ao’s words were like a basin of cold water, which completely extinguished Chu Xun’s excitement.
The Soul-Curing Flower was a supreme spiritual elixir that was specially used to cure the damaged souls and spirits. Even in the world of cultivation, it was still a kind of rare treasure and people could only get it by luck. On such a barren earth, where could the Soul-Curing Flower be found?
“Are you discouraged?” Emperor Ao asked in a slightly mocking tone.
Chu Xun gently looked at Hua Qingwu lying in the ice coffin. A terrible light appeared in his eyes, and he said in a low voice,
“It is just the Soul-Curing Flower, isn’t it? At worst, I will cultivate for a thousand years to become the Immortal Emperor again and go back to the world of cultivation to get the Soul-Curing Flower for her. Even if I have to reincarnate for three times, I will still save her.”
Emperor Ao looked at him quietly, and there was a touch of gratification in his eyes. He said, “In fact... there is no need to be so troublesome. 10 years or 20 years at most later, there will be Soul-Curing Flower on the earth.”
“What?” Chu Xun was shocked.
The earth was barren, and the spiritual energy there had been exhausted. How come there would be the Soul-Curing Flower? Why was Emperor Ao so sure?
“What exactly are you hiding?” Chu Xun stared at Emperor Ao and asked.
Emperor Ao’s bright eyes twinkled a few times. Then he said leisurely, “It is not good for you to know too much. You’d better concentrate on cultivating. With your current cultivation, you can only kill a mosquito or a grasshopper. Even if the Soul-Curing Flower is in front of you, you still cannot keep it.”
Chu Xun could not help being angry. After all, he had once been the Immortal Emperor. Although he had come down in the world, he was still the famous Devil Chu in the Martial Tao world.
Furthermore, it was not a mosquito or a grasshopper that he had killed. Every one of them was the master of a sect, and all of them were the ambitious people of their generation.
“However, her lost holy spirit must be found first. Otherwise, she still will not come to life even if you have the Soul-Curing Flower,” Emperor Ao said.
Chu Xun remembered the tear that had flown away and told Emperor Ao what had happened.
A slightly surprised expression appeared on Emperor Ao’s face, who wished to speak but stopped on a second thought.
“You know something, don’t you?” Chu Xun noticed that something was wrong with Emperor Ao.
Emperor Ao shook his head and said, “I am not sure yet. I will tell you when I am sure. According to what you said, that tear may have something to do with the lost holy spirit.”
Chu Xun nodded.
“I’ll teach you a method to find souls and spirits later...”
Chu Xun shook his head and interrupted Emperor Ao. “There’s no need. I have cultivated the Evocation of Heavenly Secrets.”
Emperor Ao looked at him in surprise and said with a smile, “If so, it could not be better.”
One could know everything in the world through the Evocation of Heavenly Secrets. Then it was naturally not difficult to search for the souls and spirits.
“Don’t worry, Little Wu! No matter what I have to do and even if I die, I will bring you back to life.” Chu Xun looked at the beautiful woman sleeping in the ice coffin with a gentle gaze as he said.
“By the way, how do you feel?” Chu Xun asked. Emperor Ao had been locked by the Firmament Chain, and his cultivation was dissipating all the time.
Emperor Ao walked to the stone table and sat down. He poured a cup of alcohol and drank it up. There was unconceivable loneliness on his face.
Chu Xun walked over, poured a cup of alcohol, and silently drank alcohol with Emperor Ao.
The Firmament Chain represented the jealousy from the heaven. The heaven would only be afraid of and jealous of those with exceptional talents, and then control them with the Firmament Chain.
How awesome had Emperor Ao been in the past so that the heaven was jealous of him?
