She was finally legally picked up by her own master. Zhu Yao thought that her miserable exile in the Divine Realm had ended, and the next step was to bind to her original body. From then on, she would live a shameless … ah pui, a loving and blissful life with her master. However, after returning to the Lightning Divine Hall, she realized that she was too naive.
Her soul had returned, but … her avatar was gone!
"Where's my body?" Was there a need to be so miserable?
"There's no sign of living beings here." Yu Yan released his divine sense and searched the entire Lightning Divine Hall, yet, he did not find his own disciple's body.
Both of them turned around, and their gazes were as sharp as knives as they stared at a certain person who had left his post.
"Uh …" Yu Jin was dumbfounded as well. He weakly took a step back. "She was clearly here earlier." It had not even been an hour since he left. Why did little little grand disciple's body disappear the moment he returned? "There are no traces of the formation outside being activated. Logically speaking, no one else can enter, so it's impossible for her to disappear."
"So I disappeared into thin air?" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She was alcohol, she could even evaporate!
"Little little grand disciple, don't be anxious." Yu Jin smiled. "I placed a tracking formation on your body. As long as it's activated, I will naturally know where your body is."
With a wave of his hand, he tossed Xue Yi down and cast an art to summon a human-sized water mirror. Brushing his palm against the surface of the mirror, after a flash of light, a white fog slowly appeared on the surface of the water mirror.
Zhu Yao: "…"
Yu Yan: "…"
What happened to the promised movie? Your wireless technology is clearly not up to standard!
"Uh …" Yu Jin's expression stiffened, and then he chuckled at the two of them. "Hoho … This is a mistake … Umm, I suddenly recalled that I'm still roasting corn in my backyard! See you later. "After saying that, he disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Where was the trust in the sect?
"Master …" What should she do?
Yu Yan frowned, as he carefully placed his disciple on the table. He glanced at the water mirror at the side which was still a vast expanse of whiteness, and said with a sunken voice. "The places which the water mirror is unable to display, are definitely places with extremely tight formations. Someone who has the ability to barge into the Lightning Divine Hall, take your body away, and then retreat unscathed is definitely not a simple person. We still have to consider this matter at length. "
"Then do I still have to continue being a sword?" Zhu Yao felt like crying.
"That's not it." Yu Yan pinched his fingers and lightly swiped. He condensed a drop of blood and dripped it onto the sword.
"Master?" Instantly, the smell of blood filled her senses again.
"Don't resist. [To read this book, please search for 800.]
Just as Zhu Yao wanted to spit it out, she stopped herself. She had no choice but to endure the discomfort and swallow it down. In an instant, the discomfort disappeared and was replaced by a familiar immortal power. She felt that the entire sword had become much lighter.
Yu Yan cast an art, and a formation flashed. The row of messy letters on her sword, actually began to gather, and slowly gathered at the bottom of the sword hilt. When the light from the formation dispersed, a familiar lightning cloud symbol actually appeared. It was the symbol of the Lightning Divine Hall.
"What is this?" Just as Zhu Yao was about to ask, the sword suddenly emitted out a white light, and she felt her entire body floating away. When she regained her senses, she was already standing next to the table, and that sword was still on the table. She subconsciously wanted to touch the sword on the table, but unexpectedly, the moment she touched the sword, she directly passed through it. "What's going on?" Did she return to her soul form?
"Yu … Yao, this sword isn't your main body." Yu Yan said with a sunken voice.
"Not my main body!" Zhu Yao was stunned. "Then, am I attached to this sword?" Were all second rank divine swords this incredible? They could even guide souls.
Yu Yan shook his head. "No. You're a part of this sword. "
"What?"
"You're currently the sword spirit of this sword." He glanced at the sword on the table. "The reason why you couldn't come out of the sword earlier, was because you didn't have enough divine energy to support your appearance. Earlier, I transferred my divine energy into your body. That's why you appeared. "
Zhu Yao pondered for a moment. It was really possible. Back when she was picked up by Miao Bo, he couldn't hear her at all. Later on, when he threw her into the sea, others could suddenly hear her. And before that, she was indeed in that mysterious Secret Realm. She absorbed a lot of divine energy from Miao Bo's body. In the end, the reason why she couldn't hear her was because she didn't have enough energy.
Eh? Wait a minute …
Zhu Yao pointed at the symbol of the Lightning Divine Palace on the sword. "Master, since I can appear after transferring divine energy, then what's with this symbol?" Was there a need to transfer divine energy after the sword recognizes its owner?
Yu Yan stiffened for a moment. After pausing for two seconds, he suddenly stood up. "Your divine energy is still unstable, so you can't appear for long. Your master will first bring you to the Lightning Abyssal Pool to stabilize your divine energy."
"Oh …" What's strange?
Yu Yan immediately held onto his disciple with one hand, and flew towards the mountain peak with the other. In order to prevent his disciple from being abducted, it was very normal for him to stamp it.
— — — —
This was already Zhu Yao's second time entering the Lightning Abyssal Pool. Compared to the first time she turned into a rock, this time was evidently much better. Putting aside the fact that she didn't feel the slightest bit of pain, she even had her family accompanying her the entire time.
After soaking in it for exactly ten days, the divine energy in her body slowly stabilized. Finally, she could appear twenty-four hours a day without any interruption. However, she was still unable to grab hold of the sword. The sword spirit was a part of the divine sword in the first place. So strictly speaking, the sword was the main body, and she was merely an accessory. Naturally, she couldn't control the sword's body, and she could only appear within a radius of about a kilometer from the sword. If she went too far, she would automatically return to the sword.
There was still no news of her body. Her master had once again reinforced the formations surrounding the Lightning Divine Palace. The layers upon layers of formations made Zhu Yao feel a little dizzy. This time, forget about humans, even a housefly probably wouldn't be able to fly in.
As for the main culprit's great grandmaster, Hall Master Yu Jin, on the first day she entered the Lightning Abyssal Pool, he bravely expressed that he wanted to personally search for her body. After greeting him, he swiftly left the Lightning Divine Palace. No matter how she looked at it, he looked as though he was fleeing.
However, with his unreliable personality, Zhu Yao did not have the slightest bit of hope.
Though she frequently changed her avatars, the one she lost was the original one. No matter what, she had to find it back.
"Master, are there many places in this world that even great grandmaster's formations are unable to track?" Zhu Yao crawled out of the Lightning Abyssal Pool as she asked.
Yu Yan pondered for a moment. "No more than three." The Hall Master was a High Deity Paragon. There were very few people in this world who could escape his tracking arts.
"Then let's go search those places as well?" Zhu Yao suggested.
Yu Yan did not object. With a wave of his hand, he cast a mystic art on his disciple and that divine sword, eliminating the excess lightning energy in her body. With one hand holding onto his disciple, and the other holding onto the sword, he flew up. Her master was a High Deity, so he naturally did not need to rely on any mystic artifacts to fly. In just a flash, the two of them had already left the Lightning Divine Palace.
She turned to look, only to see that the layers of formations were closing up amidst the lightning clouds.
Eh? Why did she feel like she had forgotten something?
She couldn't remember …
Haah, forget it. It probably isn't important anyway.
***
At the bottom of the Lightning Divine Palace.
A certain figure who had been unconscious for ten days, was slowly waking up. She looked at her surroundings a little confusedly, only to see that everywhere she looked, was pitch-black scorched earth.
Where … is this place?
— — — —
Zhu Yao thought that she would be able to find her original avatar very quickly, but she never expected that she would end up empty-handed again. The three places her master had mentioned did not have any traces of her avatar at all. Yu Yan spread his divine sense across a large half of the cultivation continent, and after carefully searching for five to six days, he was still unable to find a single clue.
This didn't make sense! Could it be that her avatar had been reclaimed by the Realm Spirit? It couldn't be that she didn't even greet him, right?
Wait a minute! She suddenly recalled that she could switch between avatars in the past, but in these few months, she did not switch avatars at all. Could it be that there was some sort of special trigger condition for switching avatars?
She pondered for a moment. The first time she returned, she seemed to have been placed in a storage pouch, and the second time … seemed to be because she held her breath for too long. If there was a difference between the two times, then … divine energy was completely isolated!
Zhu Yao simply felt a 'ding' sound in the depths of her heart, as a lamp lit up. She immediately pulled her master next to her excitedly. "Master, I know how to return to my own body. Hurry, store me in your storage artifact." She carefully explained the matter she had just figured out to him.
Yu Yan however frowned, evidently, he was a little against it. "Though the method you mentioned is logical. However … Even if this method works, we don't know where your body is right now? If you suddenly wake up, if there's any danger, it would instead be disadvantageous to you. "
"Don't worry, master. I will take note." Zhu Yao patted on her chest and guaranteed. "It won't take long. Just store me in your storage artifact for a short while. At the very most, you can take me out after fifteen minutes. When that time comes, my soul will naturally return. This way, there won't be any problems. "
He hesitated for a moment, and was still very against such a risky move. Zhu Yao spent a lot of words, and after persuading him for a long while, he finally reluctantly nodded.
"Remember, do not act rashly." He repeatedly instructed. "Everything will have to wait until you return and see your master. Just in case, I will only put you in for three breaths of time. "
"Ah! That's a little too short, isn't it? "Three breaths, which was just three seconds. It would be weird if she could see it clearly.
"Mn?"
"Alright then!" You're the boss.
Zhu Yao's figure returned to the sword in a flash. Yu Yan tightened his grip on the sword, but he was still a little hesitant. A moment later, he opened the storage ring on his hand, and Zhu Yao instantly turned into a ray of light and entered the ring.
One second …
Two seconds …
Time's up. She could take it out now. With a twist of Yu Yan's hand, that second rank divine sword once again appeared in his hand. On the pure white blade, the lightning cloud symbol was especially eye-catching. He hurriedly called out with a sunken voice.
"Yu … Yao."
"…" There was no response.
"Yu Yao!"
"…" There was still no response.
"Answer your master."
"…"
"Yu Wang!"
"…" Complete silence.
