What the hell was that? Ever since she entered the Soul Formation stage, it had been a long time since she had been injured, but now, just because that black shadow glanced at her, her divine sense was injured.
Zhu Yao took a deep breath, and calmed herself down. Only after a while did she feel a little better. This time, he did not dare to look anymore. That black shadow was obviously a super cheat that was helping Mu Meiyan. It was too heaven-defying. Fortunately, he had intentionally concealed his aura, or else he would have been exposed.
Zhu Yao adjusted her breathing for an entire night, before she finally recovered. Early in the morning of the second day, Qi Han came to look for her.
When they came, Qi Han had made it very clear that he had asked her to save his own disciple. Zhu Yao was also faintly guessing if that person was Yue Hanxin, who was also the main target of attack in this world war after Mu Meiyan's resurrection.
Qi Han exchanged a few courteous words with her, before bringing her to the mountain behind Celestial Indus Sect. Compared to Ancient Hill Sect's four seasons of spring, the front of Wu Sect's mountain was a little overly hot, and the back of the mountain was actually a glacier. Such an environment was simply something that Zhu Yao, a person who believed in science, could not understand.
Qi Han brought her to the highest point of the glacier. There was a huge lake there. The strange thing was that the lake water wasn't frozen. Of course, it wasn't a hot spring.
There was a huge block of ice floating on the surface of the lake, and there seemed to be something flowing inside. It looked colorful and very beautiful.
Qi Han, however, stopped at the lakeside and did not leave. Just as Zhu Yao was puzzled, she saw him pointing at the piece of ice in the air.
"The one frozen inside is my disciple."
Zhu Yao was a little startled. She probed with her divine sense, and realized that there really was the aura of a living person inside. However, it was extremely weak, and if she did not look closely, she would not be able to detect it. There was no form inside at all.
Zhu Yao silently cast a doubtful glance at him. This can even be considered a human? Are you kidding me?
Only then did Qi Han let out a long sigh, and answered unhurriedly. "Actually, this disciple of mine has yet to be born."
What? Speak human language!
"An old friend is in trouble. By the time I got there, both husband and wife had been murdered. " Qi Han's expression sank. "Before my old friend died, he took out the fetus that was still breathing from his wife's womb. Using an ancient secret art, he sealed the fetus in this ice, and instructed me to place it here. It has been more than five years since it took shape with the help of a formation. "
What the f * ck, is this even possible? This was much better than modern technology. He didn't even need to borrow a stomach anymore. Zhu Yao expressed that the entire world was dumbfounded. She had only heard of plants growing without soil, but she had never thought that humans could do it too.
Zhu Yao silently felt that her worldview was showing signs of collapsing.
"However, it should be the time when the melon is ripe …" Qi Han frowned. He stared at the giant block of ice. "But this child has yet to be born, and its aura is growing weaker and weaker. So far, I can't detect it at all, so I asked the Venerable One to help me take a look. "
Zhu Yao was speechless. In the end, he pulled her over to help with the delivery. She was a student of technology, not gynecology.
Zhu Yao suppressed the urge to roar out in the depths of her heart, and once again took a look. That ice cube. Qi Han said that he was completely unable to detect any auras, however, she was certain that there were indeed living people inside, just that they were very faint.
He flew into the air. After carefully inspecting the ice block, he discovered that the formation on it was indeed very exquisite. It was completely like an automatic supply device, continuously injecting nutrients into the ice.
There was also a large amount of ice spiritual energy being transmitted into it.
Just like what Qi Han said, this formation didn't have any issues at all? Although it was a little embarrassing. But theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be any issues.
But why was the aura growing weaker instead?
"You added a defensive formation on top of this formation?" Zhu Yao asked. Could it be that it was blocked and unable to come out?
Qi Han nodded. "However, this defensive formation can only defend against external attacks. If there's any commotion inside, naturally, it will be able to break out of the formation. "
Zhu Yao sank into silence. For a moment, she couldn't figure out the reason either. Even if she used her divine sense to inspect it, she could only capture a blurry image, and strands of weak aura. Forget about a formed fetus, she couldn't even detect a body.
Sighing, just when Zhu Yao was about to give up, she suddenly saw a red dot of light entering the ice block, and instantly, it disappeared without a trace.
That was fire spiritual energy! Could it be …
"You said this child has already been nurtured for five years?" Zhu Yao turned and asked.
Qi Han nodded. "Yes. Initially, it should have formed in ten months. However, the child has yet to be born, and its aura has yet to disappear. Until now, it has already been five years. "
"The hell!" Zhu Yao cursed. She finally knew why. "Follow me!"
Zhu Yao pulled Qi Han down, and then, according to a few different directions of the lake, she had him set down different formations. However, all of them were Spiritual Guiding Formations, though, the amount of spiritual energy that every single formation was attracting towards one another was different.
When the five different Spiritual Guiding Formations of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were completed, Zhu Yao had Qi Han activate the formation together with her. The surrounding five types of spiritual energy were then attracted towards the center of the lake.
Zhu Yao then added a formation to guide spiritual energy on top of the ice block. She wasn't sure what kind of Spirit Vein the child inside had, so she didn't dare to use a formation that was too strong. Hence, the guiding of the spiritual energy was very slow as well.
The first thing that was guided over was fire spiritual energy. As expected, the red dot of fire, entered the ice block the moment it came into contact with it. And the aura that could only be detected earlier, suddenly grew a little stronger.
Qi Han sensed it as well, and he suddenly widened his eyes. "Sovereign, this … Just what's going on?"
He never expected that after thinking of so many methods, a few Spiritual Guiding Formations were enough to confirm it.
Zhu Yao sighed, and lightly replied. "The child inside doesn't have the Ice Spirit Vein."
In fact, the reason why the fetus had never been born was very simple. This spirit fetus had always been nourished by spirit energy, so its birth naturally required the nourishment of spirit energy. However, everyone's Spirit Root was different. The glacier was filled with Ice Spirit Qi. It was fine before the Ice Spirit Qi was formed. If the person inside did not have an Ice Spirit Root, he would not be able to absorb Ice Spirit Qi. As for the rest of the Spiritual Qi, it was pitifully little. With the lack of Spiritual Qi, its aura naturally became weaker and weaker.
She had just seen some ignition spiritual energy being absorbed, so the person inside had at least a Fire Spiritual Root. However, she was afraid that the other party did not have a single Fire Spirit Vein, so she set up five Spirit Guiding Formations.
Hearing her words, Qi Han understood as well, and a smile had already appeared on his face. At the same time he was activating the formation, he stared intensely at the ice block at the center, so that he could remove the formation the moment he noticed that the spiritual energy was out of place.
After the fire spiritual energy, the metal spiritual energy also gathered. Just like the fire spiritual energy, the metal spiritual energy was absorbed into the ice the moment it came into contact with it.
Metal and fire dual spiritual roots? A joyous expression appeared on Qi Han's face. This was an extremely good aptitude.
However, in the next moment, the wood spiritual energy was absorbed into the ice as well.
Could it be a triple Metal, Fire, and Wood Spirit Veins? Mn, that was still acceptable.
However, immediately after, the earth spiritual energy and water spiritual energy were absorbed into the ice without any resistance as well. Qi Han's expression turned a little ugly.
He almost could not react in time. Could it be that this disciple of his, who had yet to be born, was actually a Mixed Five Elements Spirit Vein? This blow was simply too huge.
He had worked so hard for more than ten years, and now, he was back to square one.
Zhu Yao silently lit a candle for her cheap master at the side as well. Who asked you to rush to take in a disciple? How tragic, right? However, when she recalled that she herself had a basket of Penta-Spirit Veins radishes in Azureflight Sect as well, she instantly felt balanced.
However, in her dreams, she clearly remembered that Yue Hanxin was the same as Mu Meiyan, a mutated Ice Spirit Vein. Could it be that the one inside wasn't that Mary Sue female lead, Yue Hanxin, or was it because Mu Meiyan did not succeed in taking over little radish's body, hence, a butterfly effect occurred?
However, when Yue Hanxin first appeared in her dreams, she was a ten year old little girl who was directly brought up the mountain by Qi Han, and there was no such thing as a frozen Spirit Embryo either. If not for Qi Han calling her disciple over and over again, she would not have believed that the Spirit Embryo in the ice was Yue Hanxin either.
Zhu Yao could not understand, and could only sense the aura in the middle which was already growing stronger.
After Qi Han found out that it could absorb five types of spiritual energy, he strengthened the Spirit Guiding Formation. The spiritual energy in the surroundings was currently pouring in endlessly. And the aura inside was becoming more and more condensed as well.
Six hours later, finally, a cracking sound could be heard from the ice.
Zhu Yao immediately stopped the Spirit Guiding Formation below, and stared at the ice which was already beginning to crack apart together with Qi Han. That gigantic ice was currently cracking apart inch by inch, and not a moment later, its surface was filled with cracks.
A piece of shattered ice the size of a palm fell from above, and in an instant, as though they had received some sort of signal, the other ice chunks began to fall one after another.
And within the ice which they could only sense earlier, as though some sort of door had been opened, they could already completely see the human figures inside.
But … Momma's egg, why are there two of them!?
As all the ice chunks fell, the two little figures inside fell straight down as well. They were twins, one male and one female. However, their figures were not weak babies, but the size of five year old children.
Qi Han flew up, and instantly caught one of the girls. He looked a little blankly at the one in his embrace.
The hell, where's the other one?
Zhu Yao simply wanted to curse out. At a time like this, your sister's daydreaming!
Left with no choice, Zhu Yao could only fly over as well. Just as the little boy was about to fall into the water, she scooped him up, and then flew back to the shore.
She did not know if it was because he was sealed in the ice, but the child's entire body was drenched. His eyes were closed, yet, his figure was extremely skinny and small. He could basically be considered as a bag of bones. If she did not know that he had stayed in the ice for five years, just based on his small frame, she would definitely think that he was not even three years old.
Zhu Yao cast a Dirt Removal Art on him. After pondering for a moment, she took out a set of clothes from her storage ring, and wrapped it around him.
Qi Han coincidentally saw this when he returned, and as though he had just recalled that he had to bring clothes for his disciple, he took out a set of pink clothes as well. Looking at its size, it seemed to have been prepared a long time ago.
"Sovereign." Qi Han glanced at the child in her embrace, a hint of guilt surfaced on his face, as though he was a little regretful that he did not catch him earlier. "Back then, when my old friend sealed the child in ice, the child was already seven months old. I had checked as well, and there was only one baby girl. However, I never expected that there would actually be two. "
