Chapter 275 The Operation is Imminent
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze sat quietly in the spirit pool, their bodies radiating a soft yet powerful spiritual light. Their bodies were filled with the pure spiritual energy bestowed by the spirit pool, flowing joyfully through their meridians like a rushing river.
Lin Shushu could clearly feel that her meridians were becoming increasingly resilient under the nourishment of spiritual energy. And within her dantian, the spiritual energy was like a mellow wine, growing ever more powerful.
What surprised her even more was that, with the changes in her body, she became increasingly adept at controlling the power of rules. Before, although the power of rules was traceable in her perception, it was like a misty cloud, difficult to fully grasp.
Now, that mysterious power seems to have become a part of her body, clear and controllable.
Looking at Mo Ze again, his eyes gleamed with surprise and excitement. He could feel that he had successfully entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. His previously stagnant cultivation had achieved a qualitative leap under the miraculous effect of the Spirit Pool.
He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and his heart was filled with confidence.
The two exchanged a smile, both seeing joy in each other's eyes. They hadn't expected that this misfortune would turn into a blessing in disguise, not only clearing the demonic energy from their bodies but also elevating their cultivation to a higher realm. This was undoubtedly a tremendous gain for them.
After the initial joy, a question suddenly arose in Lin Shushu's mind. She frowned slightly. If the Qingyun Sect had such a powerful spiritual pool that could completely cleanse the demonic energy from her and Mo Ze's bodies, then why was Senior Ling Yu, beneath the Ice Abyss, still unable to withstand the erosion of demonic energy?
With such powerful spiritual energy as the Spirit Pool, it should theoretically be able to help Senior Ling Yu completely get rid of the troubles caused by demonic energy.
Lin Shushu was unaware that the demonic energy Ling Yu was tainted with was no ordinary substance, but rather originated from an ancient demon god. The power of an ancient demon god was immense, and the evil and terror contained within that demonic energy far surpassed anything Hei Sa possessed.
Although the Spirit Pool is powerful, capable of nourishing the body and suppressing demonic energy, it cannot completely eliminate the demonic energy of the ancient demon gods.
Ling Yu was able to endure the terrifying demonic energy for so long thanks to the Spirit Pool's continuous supply of spiritual power, which helped him resist further invasion of the demonic energy.
At this moment, Lin Shushu was still immersed in her own doubts. While she was pondering, Mo Ze slowly rose from the spirit pool. When he saw Lin Shushu's puzzled expression, he softly asked, "Shushu, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Shushu raised her head and told Mo Ze about her doubts. Mo Ze was slightly taken aback after listening, and then fell into deep thought.
"Perhaps it's related to the source of demonic energy," Lin Shushu thought of the key point.
Upon hearing this, Mo Ze immediately understood the meaning behind her words, "Shu Shu is saying that there are different levels of demonic energy?"
Lin Shushu nodded. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they both understood what the other meant.
Their demonic energy is different from that of Senior Ling Yu, who was harmed by an ancient demon god, while their demonic energy comes from Hei Sa. The two are worlds apart.
Having figured this out, both of them felt a pang of regret for Senior Ling Yu's fate, and at the same time, they felt a deeper fear of the power of the ancient demon god.
Now that the demonic energy had been cleared away, and the two had even benefited greatly in the process, they exchanged a glance and tacitly walked out of the spirit pool.
The Spirit Pool is of paramount importance to the Qingyun Sect. The sect is grateful for their contributions and has broken with convention to allow them to use it without hesitation. This is no easy feat, and they cannot be ungrateful.
Outside the Spirit Pool, Venerable Lingyun and a group of elders were still guarding the place. Upon seeing the two appear, they immediately noticed the changes in Lin Shushu and Mo Ze.
A smile of relief appeared on their faces. In the current situation where the demon race is rampant, it is so precious to have two such juniors.
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze came before Venerable Lingyun and the elders, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you for the generous lending of the Spirit Pool by the sect leader and elders. The demonic energy on our bodies has been completely removed."
Venerable Lingyun smiled and waved his hand, "You don't need to be so polite. Everything you've done for the mainland is worth it. The mainland will have to rely on you two from now on."
Lin Shushu knew he was referring to the Demon God's seal, so she took the initiative to ask, "Sect Leader, what should we do next?"
With the Brahma Bowl in her hands, Lin Shushu naturally wouldn't shy away from it. Besides, they wanted to resolve the immediate matter as soon as possible so they could return to the Flame Sun Continent.
When the topic turned to business, Venerable Lingyun's expression became serious. Now that the demons knew about the repair of the Brahma Bowl, it was better to take the initiative than to wait for them to come and snatch it away.
only……
He glanced at Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, then hesitated before speaking, "The matter of resealing the ancient demon god is of utmost urgency, and this journey is extremely dangerous. I wonder if my two young friends..."
Although he didn't finish his sentence, the meaning was clear: he was testing whether the two were willing to participate in this life-or-death mission.
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze turned their heads almost simultaneously, their eyes met, and with just one glance, they understood each other's thoughts.
Lin Shushu stepped forward and spoke first: "Sect Leader, now that we have been dragged into this, no matter how dangerous it is, we have no choice but to do our duty. Once the ancient demon god is born, the entire continent will be plunged into chaos, and we cannot stand idly by."
A hint of satisfaction appeared in Venerable Lingyun's eyes. He nodded slightly and exclaimed, "Excellent! The courage and sense of responsibility shown by these two young friends are truly rare. With your help, our chances of victory on this journey have greatly increased!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze hurriedly and modestly waved their hands, "Sect Leader, you flatter us. We were just doing what we were supposed to do. Fighting against the demon race and sealing the ancient demon god is by no means an easy task. This would not have been possible without the support and help of all the seniors and the entire continent. We dare not take credit for it."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Lingyun stopped being polite and began to discuss the upcoming arrangements.
"My two young friends will rest and recuperate here for now. Once I have contacted other sects and made detailed arrangements, we will head to the Dark Abyss. This time, we need to unite all the major sects and gather the power of the righteous path to have a greater chance of success."
After saying that, he beckoned Xiao Jingping over, "Disciple, take them to the guest courtyard to rest." Then he said to Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, "You have been traveling with my disciple for so long, you must be quite familiar with him by now. If you need anything, just ask him."
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude, and then left with Xiao Jingping.
On the way to the guest courtyard, Xiao Jingping finally had the opportunity to express his gratitude to the two. When Demon Lord Hei Sa appeared, he was prepared to die, but he never expected that they would resolutely decide to stay and fight alongside him.
"Brother Mo, Junior Sister Lin, thank you." Having gone through several life-and-death experiences together, he addressed the two of them much more affectionately.
"Not at all. Since we're companions, there's no way I'd abandon you and run away alone," Mo Ze replied, his tone much gentler. Xiao Jingping was truly innocent in the illusion; he couldn't just vent his anger on him.
