Chen Sixuan quickly discovered that Ji Dong had a superficial understanding of the power of light. This discovery surprised her even more than when she discovered that Ji Dong had the draconic aura of the Earth Dragon Ancestor.
From the changes in Ji Dong's body to everything she felt before her soul dissipated, Chen Sixuan had a complete understanding of what had happened to Ji Dong. She did not understand why the Earth Dragon Ancestor was so fond of Ji Dong, even going so far as to let him soak in his own dragon blood. However, there was no doubt that this was an irreplaceable help to Ji Dong's growth.
One should not assume that the Earth Dragon Ancestor's body was huge that he had a lot of blood. In fact, it was the exact opposite. Chen Sixuan knew that because the Earth Dragon Ancestor had lived for so many years, most of the blood in his body had been replaced by energy. The remaining blood was probably not even one-tenth of the blood of an ordinary dragon. This blood was the true essence that the Earth Dragon Ancestor had accumulated over thousands of years. Although Ji Dong's mana did not increase much because of this, his body had been forcefully raised to the Saint-tier by the Earth Dragon Ancestor's dragon blood. It was even more helpful than directly raising his mana to the level of nine crowns.
As Chen Sixuan's soul undulations became stronger and more autonomous, Ji Dong's anxious heart finally relaxed. He gradually released the shackles he had on Chen Sixuan's soul. His soul slowly withdrew, and he returned control of his body to her. Of course, he did not stop injecting life force into Chen Sixuan's body.
Although he was returning control of his body, Ji Dong did not relax his attention on Chen Sixuan. His exclusive light still enveloped both of their bodies. If anything happened to Chen Sixuan, he would be able to react immediately.
Finally, Ji Dong felt that Chen Sixuan's soul had regained control of her body. Everything was developing in a good direction. The relaxation in his heart made him feel even more tired. However, he could not care about himself at this time. He had to wait until Chen Sixuan had completely stabilized before he could relax and rest.
Chen Sixuan's recovery speed was faster than Ji Dong had imagined. As her soul recovered, she successfully regained control of her body. Her life force no longer flowed out of her body, and she absorbed the enormous life force from the Core of Life. Her vital signs had returned to normal.
"Ji Dong, thank you. I'm fine now. Hurry up and recover." Chen Sixuan's emotions were transmitted to Ji Dong's soul. Now, he could finally relax.
The golden-red light in the eyes of the Heavenly Stem Holy Apostles gradually receded, revealing Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan.
Ji Dong's complexion was frighteningly pale, just like Chen Sixuan's previously sealed face. His body swayed slightly, and he sat cross-legged on the ground. Chen Sixuan's perfect complexion gradually became rosy, and she no longer lost her life aura and soul.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Stem Holy Apostles finally relaxed. They understood that Ji Dong had succeeded.
Chen Sixuan moved. Her eyes were still closed, but she slowly sat down opposite Ji Dong. She also closed her eyes and entered a state of cultivation.
"Eh, why has Teacher Ji Dong's hair turned black?" Only then did everyone notice the change in the color of Ji Dong's hair.
Du Xin 'er couldn't help but exclaim.
Lan Baoer said softly, "It's not as simple as his hair turning black. Other parts of him seem to have changed as well. I don't know what exactly it is, but he's different from before." At that moment, her feelings were very complicated. The moment Ji Dong walked towards Chen Sixuan, she once again felt the urgency from Ji Dong. It was not an ordinary urgency, but a feeling of extreme concern. The last time she felt this from Ji Dong, he was with the Flaming Bar.
In order to save Chen Sixuan, Ji Dong had made himself so weak. Looking at Chen Sixuan's perfect face, the last shred of hope in her heart gradually faded. She knew that she would never be able to enter Ji Dong's heart. She just didn't know how much Chen Sixuan had entered his heart.
Ah Jin stared straight at Ji Dong. Even though she had regained her memory, she still gave others a cold feeling on the surface, perhaps because she was used to the coldness in the past. Among the crowd, she felt it the most, apart from the Dragon Emperor. From Ji Dong's body, she could clearly sense a bloodline aura that was extremely similar to hers. That was her father's aura. She could vaguely understand the changes in Ji Dong's body.
The Dragon Emperor said softly, "Don't disturb them. Let them cultivate for a while and they should be able to recover. Elder Ah Jin, when Ji Dong wakes up, please tell him that I represent the Dragon Tribe and would like to invite him to become the Dragon Tribe's Foreign Elder."
Ah Jin was not surprised by the Dragon Emperor's decision. She nodded at the Dragon King and said, "He will agree."
The Dragon Emperor smiled and said, "To be honest, I am a little jealous of this boy. But since he is back, it is probably time for you to leave."
Ah Jin nodded and said, "If Sixuan is fine, I think it is time for us to leave."
While they were talking, Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan, who were cultivating, were also talking to each other.
"Sixuan, are you okay?" Ji Dong relaxed his mind and allowed his Soul Force to recover on its own. At the same time, he fused with Chen Sixuan's soul. The fusion gave him a strong sense of satisfaction. It was as if he had found something extremely precious that he had lost.
"I'm fine. Thank you, Ji Dong, for helping me recover. I thought I would never see you again." Chen Sixuan's soul was also extremely happy. It was a perfect result to be able to recover her soul, and it was Ji Dong who helped her recover. Moreover, she could now deeply feel Ji Dong's concern for her. This feeling was very precious to her. "No, Sixuan, don't say that.
"No, Si Xuan, don't say that. I should be the one thanking you. You became like this because you saved me, but I only found out after such a long time. If Senior Dragon Emperor hadn't sealed your body in time, I'm afraid that there would have been no way to save you. You're too foolish. Why would the Earth Dragon Ancestor do anything to me? You …" Ji Dong couldn't continue after saying that. He realized that his heart was twitching slightly. This feeling caused him to hurriedly withdraw his thoughts. He was secretly shocked. Could it be that I really have feelings for her? No, it can't be. I only love the Flaming Bar, and I only love the Flaming Bar.
Chen Sixuan fell silent for a moment before she said faintly, "Perhaps I was confused because I was too concerned. I sensed your aura on the verge of death. How could I think calmly at that time? So I rushed over immediately. I'm very silly, but I'll only be silly because of you."
Ji Dong almost could not suppress his heart when he heard her words. He hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Sixuan, your soul has been reunited. Do you still have any problems?"
Chen Sixuan said, "The soul is the most mysterious part of a person. How would I know if there's any problem with my soul? However, my soul has been shattered. I'm afraid it'll take a long time for it to completely reunite. As long as I don't use any powerful spiritual attacks in the future, there shouldn't be any big problems, right? "
Ji Dong said, "Don't worry. With me by your side, if there's any problem with your soul, I'll be able to react immediately. With today's experience, it'll be much easier to deal with similar problems in the future."
Chen Sixuan said softly, "Will you protect me by my side forever?"
"I …" Ji Dong fell silent. He could not answer such a simple question from Chen Sixuan. In this silence, the two of them gradually immersed themselves in their respective states of cultivation.
The golden-red Geocentric Red Lotus Life Lotus Seeds flew out from between Chen Sixuan's eyebrows one by one and returned to Ji Dong's body. Naturally, Ji Dong did not know that the nine lotus seeds had returned under Chen Sixuan's forceful coercion. Otherwise, after sensing the Flaming Bar's divine sense, the nine lotus seeds would naturally merge with Chen Sixuan. Even if their attributes were incompatible, they would still be of great help to Chen Sixuan. After all, no one was more familiar with the nine lotus seeds than she was.
About eight hours later, Ji Dong was the first to awaken from his state of cultivation. With the strength of his soul, a quiet rest would allow him to recover in a short period of time. His soul power had already formed its own system. Although he did not know how to cultivate it specifically, he just needed to calm his heart and Qi to circulate the system of his soul.
After opening his eyes, Ji Dong sensed the undulations of Chen Sixuan's soul. She was very calm and was still in a state of cultivation. Although Ji Dong had seen that perfect face countless times, he could not help but feel his heart skip a beat when he looked at it from such a close distance.
Chen Sixuan was currently in a good state. At least on the surface, there seemed to be no problems with her body. This made Ji Dong heave a huge sigh of relief. He murmured in his heart, "I'm sorry, Sixuan. I can't protect you forever, but I can promise you that I will do my best to protect you before I go looking for the Flaming Bar. I'm afraid I'll never be able to repay you for everything you've done for me. I can only try my best to repay you. Do you know that I really don't want to go looking for the Flaming Bar because of what I owe you? I'll definitely do my best to repay you."
With a thought, the air had already lifted his body up. At this moment, the Heavenly Stem Saints had gathered around the two of them and were also in a state of cultivation.
As Ji Zhuo stood up, Fury, who was sitting close to him, slowly opened his eyes. Hyōhime looked over, then pointed outside. Ji Dong nodded knowingly. The two of them silently rose into the air and landed lightly in the distance. With a few steps, they were already outside the cave.
"Phew …" Ji Dong spread his arms and took a deep breath of the fresh air in the Dragon Valley. He felt that his limbs and bones were filled with explosive power. As he stretched his body, his skin naturally glowed with a faint golden-red luster.
Fury's sigh resounded right beside Ji Dong's ears. "Little Junior Brother, do you know? After you came back this time, I feel that there's already a gap between us."
Ji Dong turned around and looked at Fury in surprise. "Senior Brother, why do you say that?"
Fury chuckled and said, "It's just a feeling. Maybe it's because we're too familiar with each other. I heard from Si Xuan that you've already broken through to the eighth crown. This time, the light that you're emitting is already beyond my understanding. Even Ah Jin can't explain it clearly. Not only you, Ah Jin's cultivation has also surpassed mine."
"Oh?" Ji Dong looked at Fury in surprise. "I can imagine that Ah Jin's cultivation has improved, but it might not surpass yours. Perhaps, it's because her dragon bloodline has awakened that you have this feeling. But, Senior Brother, don't forget that Ah Jin doesn't have a mount. She's merged with her dragon, that's why you have this feeling."
Fury chuckled and said, "You're wrong. It's not that Ah Jin doesn't have a mount. She just doesn't want to be bound by it. Do you know what level Ah Jin's cultivation has reached? Her mana is already at level-89. Without a doubt, she'll be the first among us to break through to the ninth crown. Speaking of which, I'm a little jealous! "Although he said he was jealous, his expression was obviously very excited.
Ji Dong smiled and said, "Senior Brother, why do you look so happy? Do you really want to be surpassed by us?"
Fury smiled and said, "Of course I do. If you can surpass me, it will prove that the Heavenly Stem Saints have become stronger. In the near future, when we face Li Yonghao and the others, we will have a higher chance of winning. How can I not be happy? Moreover, I've always been the strongest in my generation. Junior Brother, it's lonely at the top. I can't see my own goal. I know that as long as I continue to cultivate, I will definitely be able to break through to the ninth crown. That's why I don't have more motivation to cultivate. However, ever since I had you, I saw your mana level approaching mine step by step. Only then did I feel a sense of crisis. If it wasn't for your existence, I wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly. My mana is now at level-85, and I'm only in my early thirties. In the history of the magic world, this is definitely an extraordinary achievement. Of course, I believe that you will definitely surpass me. "
Ji Dong laughed and said, "Senior Brother, I didn't expect you to have such a good attitude. I was afraid that you would be mentally unbalanced."
Fury said, "There's nothing to be mentally unbalanced about. A person's strength is determined by their own effort and luck. Luck itself is also a part of strength."
