Weren't you the ones who brought my soul back? I heard it all Cheng Yu said.
What? You heard it? How was this possible? Didn't we fail? Furthermore, we did not manage to get your soul Qing Xu said in surprise.
Hehe, my soul is in my magic treasure. Thus, although you did not manage to attract my soul, I have already returned to my body. Cheng Yu smiled.
Although he couldn't tell them the truth, he could still divulge a little. It shouldn't be a problem since his magic treasure could absorb the soul of others.
So it's like that. No wonder we were unable to reclaim your soul even after summoning so many ghosts. It's because your treasure took your soul away. Originally, we were prepared to give you another soul summoning test tomorrow, but we didn't expect you to wake up on your own. No, I'll tell this good news to your martial uncles right now. You have to thank them well for their help this time around Qing Xu did not doubt Cheng Yu's words and did not think too much about it.
Compared to that, there was nothing that could be better than for Cheng Yu to wake up.
Alright Cheng Yu also found out about their situation from the Soul Suppressing Orb. Although it didn't succeed, Cheng Yu would always remember this favor in his heart.
After Qing Xuanzi left, Cheng Yu returned to the bed and looked at Lan Ya. Her eyes were red and swollen with dark circles under her eyes. She had fainted. However, she still frowned, as if she was worried about something.
Cheng Yu's heart was in pain. Although he felt Lan Ya's words were very funny, he could tell how anxious, sad, and worried Lan Ya had been these days.
How could Cheng Yu bear to see such a cute girl get hurt? He gently caressed her face and slowly infused his qi into her, restoring her red swelling.
Not long after, Lan Ya finally woke up in a daze.
Lan Ya! You're finally awake Cheng Yu looked at Lan Ya and said gently.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. You. You… Lan Ya sat up and touched her head. She just had a dream and it turned out that Cheng Yu had come back to life. Before she could regain consciousness, she heard Cheng Yu's voice again. Raising her head to look, she stared at Cheng Yu with her mouth wide open in shock.
Alright. You hadn't recovered yet? It's really me Seeing Lan Ya's cute appearance, Cheng Yu smiled.
You … Are you really Cheng Yu? Lan Ya still couldn't believe it, so she probed.
Of course, if you don't believe me, you can feel it. Cheng Yu said as he moved his face closer to Lan Ya.
Lan Ya's hand trembled as she reached out for Cheng Yu, but she withdrew it halfway through.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Seeing that she was still afraid, he grabbed her hand and put it on his face.
Having her hand grabbed by Cheng Yu, Lan Ya screamed and closed her eyes. She felt the warmth of his hand and finally opened her eyes to look at Cheng Yu. Her right hand carefully touched Cheng Yu's face.
Wu wu wu Suddenly, for some reason, Lan Ya's eyes reddened and she started crying.
Lan Ya, what's wrong? Don't cry! Aren't I fine? Seeing Lan Ya's expression, Cheng Yu panicked and quickly hugged her.
Wa! Wa! Wa! Seeing Cheng Yu hug her like this, Lan Ya cried even harder. These past few days had been too shocking for her.
She was captured by Kunlun for no reason and then suddenly rescued by Cheng Yu. However, she didn't even have the chance to be happy before she received the news of Cheng Yu's death.
Returning to Limitless Palace, she felt sad and didn’t eat or drink for a few days. She thought that she had no other choice, but she didn't expect that Cheng Yu would suddenly come back to life.
Now that Cheng Yu was fine, the grievances in her heart could finally be expressed.
Cheng Yu hugged Lan Ya tightly, still crying in his arms. He knew that Lan Ya had worked too hard these days and had too many grievances. Crying was the best way to vent it.
After crying for a while, Cheng Yu suddenly realized that there was no sound in his arms. He looked down and realized that Lan Ya had fallen asleep with tears all over her face. Cheng Yu gently wiped away the tears on her face before gently placing her on the bed.
Walking out of the room, he saw Qing Xu flying over with the few elders from Limitless Palace.
Yu'er. You really came back to life Qing Yuanzi and the others exclaimed in surprise when they saw Cheng Yu coming out of his room unscathed.
For them, the best outcome was that they didn't need to use the Seven Star Soul Summoning again. After all, that thing really wasn't something that could be casually toyed with.
Disciple Cheng Yu thanks all of you for your kindness. Please accept my three kowtows Cheng Yu did not say anything else. He respectfully kneeled on the ground and kowtowed three times towards the few elders.
Please rise Martial Nephew, you are the greatest comfort to us since you were able to survive. There is nothing better than this outcome. Qing Yuanzi said happily as he helped Cheng Yu up.
Eh? Yu'er, what's with your cultivation …? Qing Yuanzi sized up Cheng Yu and suddenly noticed that his cultivation level had changed to Foundation Establishment. He asked with a strange tone. Oh, I don't know what happened. When I woke up, I found out that everything had changed. My Jindan is gone Cheng Yu said.
What? How could this be? Qing Xuanzi exclaimed. Previously, he was too excited to see Cheng Yu being revived and didn't even notice Cheng Yu's cultivation. Now that he looked at him, he really did return to the late Foundation Establishment stage.
In my opinion, his Jindan was broken by Guang Ning with a single palm. However, Yu'er being at the late Foundation Establishment stage is already a blessing in disguise! Qing Yuanzi said.
To be able to maintain the level of late Foundation Establishment, this was truly a fortunate event. For an ordinary person, they would already become a cripple after having their Gold Core destroyed.
Hearing the name Guang Ning, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Cheng Yu's eyes. If that guy didn't suddenly give him a palm strike, he wouldn't have such an outcome.
Luckily, the Soul Suppressing Orb was able to help him recover his soul, or else he would really be crippled this time. Kunlun, I will not let you off so easily.
Yu'er, since you are fine now, I hope that you will try your best not to show your face in the Kunlun Mountains. At least, not for this period of time. After all, your cultivation has dropped, and people from Kunlun don’t know that you're still alive. Qing Yuanzi said.
By now, everyone that participated in Cheng Yu's challenge knew that Cheng Yu had died. If the people of Kunlun knew that the person they dreamt of killing was still alive, who knew how much trouble Kunlun would cause.
If it was in the past, it would have been fine. Even if they wanted to kill Cheng Yu, they would have to at least send out late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
If a late Nascent Soul Stage expert were to make a move, it would be easy for others to discover him. However, with Cheng Yu's current cultivation, it was impossible for him to even deal with an Gold Core stage cultivator.
If the other party sent out a few Gold Core stage cultivators and killed Cheng Yu, then things would be much simpler. Cheng Yu finally came back to life after much difficulty. If he was killed by them, he probably wouldn't be able to survive even if he had the ability to transcend the heavens. Therefore, they had no choice but to worry for Cheng Yu.
That's right. If you die, then everything will be fine. But since you're not dead, the people of Kunlun will not let you go so easily, you have to be careful in the future Qing Xu was also worried.
I'm afraid it won't be hidden for long, because Kunlun has an estate in the secular world. They should be able to find me soon if I show up in the secular world Cheng Yu said.
Yunhai City might be big, but the most important thing was that they had businesses in Yunhai, so it was only a matter of time before they met again.
Why don't you stay in Limitless Palace, Since you've become an immortal cultivator, it's unfortunate that you'll always stay in the mortal world. Sooner or later, you'll have to leave the mortal world. Qing Xu advised.
I'm sorry, Master, I've made all of you worry. However, I'm different from all of you; I must return to the secular world. Although I've embarked on the path of Immortal cultivation, the secular world is my home. Cheng Yu insisted.
He had thought about it before, but when he thought about how the women he liked were all modern city dwellers, it was impossible for them to all break away from the mortal world and live such an extraordinary and unreal life for him.
Because modern cities are their lives, but if I were to avoid Kunlun and stay in the cultivation world, what's the point of me cultivating?
Perhaps by the time he could openly return to find these women, they would already be grandmothers, and perhaps even be dead.
This was something Cheng Yu could not accept, so he had to return to the mortal world. Even if he were to clash with Kunlun again, he had to face it with strength.
Since he could do it before, he might as well do it again. Moreover, this time he only needed time to recover. Even if he were to cultivate anew, he believed that given some time, he would be able to recover to the Gold Core stage.
Since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you otherwise. Be careful Qing Xuanzi sighed. In fact, he really wanted Cheng Yu to stay by his side, but he knew that Cheng Yu had his own opinions and didn't like being bound.
Perhaps it was because of this that Cheng Yu had achieved such an achievement in the Gold Core stage.
Yes, I'd better return to the secular world as soon as possible. After all, in the secular world, Kunlun’s influence is limited, and finding out that I am still alive is not that simple. Cheng Yu said.
Alright then, When are you going back?
We will set off tomorrow. If we don't let many people know, it won’t be easy for news to spread Cheng Yu said after some thought.
Yes. My fellow brothers also wish to keep this a secret for Yu'er. It's best for us to keep it a secret from the rest. To the public, Cheng Yu is truly dead Qing Yuanzi nodded and said.
After the few of them agreed on what to do, they left. Cheng Yu also gave them some low-ranked soul tools, which made them feel quite happy. Even though they didn't really save Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu placed this credit on them to keep his secret. Giving them some gifts was only right, otherwise, they might not know what to think.
Everything had been arranged so that he could wait until tomorrow to set off
