Qing Xuan also knew that this was a critical moment, but the pressure on her was too great. Even though she tried her best to release her aura and circulated her power at the maximum speed, she still felt like a withered leaf in a gale that could wither away at any time.
Sensing that the boundless aura was slowly approaching her, Qing Xuan took out her Divine Sword and crazily poured her power into the Divine Sword.
With the support of Qing Xuan's power, the Divine Sword trembled continuously and released waves of domineering and powerful aura fluctuations, suppressing the other auras.
However, the Divine Sword was a Divine Weapon after all, and Qing Xuan did not have any divine power in her body. Even though she was a late-stage Immortal Emperor and her power was very strong, she knew that she could not hold on for too long.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Qing Xuan's power had been completely exhausted. The Divine Sword's luster began to dim, and the waves of sword aura also began to weaken.
Although Xiao Lingyu and Elder Peng had already reached the end, they were still one step away.
"Qing Xuan, you must hold on for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea!" Elder Peng seemed to have seen through Qing Xuan's condition, but he still reminded her.
Qing Xuan smiled bitterly, but then she clenched her teeth and began to burn her life essence to maintain the output of her power.
The Divine Sword's radiance rose again, and the sword aura it released suppressed all the aura fluctuations in the surroundings once again.
"She's forcing herself. Even if she can hold on until the end, I'm afraid that half of her cultivation will be destroyed. It's a pity that she's a late-stage Immortal Emperor with excellent aptitude. She should have been able to advance to the Immortal Venerable Realm."
Yi Xiaozi watched from afar and secretly felt that it was not worth it for Qing Xuan.
Xiao Lingyu and Qing Xuan did not know that Qing Xuan would have to sacrifice herself to ensure the completion of the Sacrificial Flame. Otherwise, Xiao Lingyu would definitely not agree, and Qing Xuan might not be willing to sacrifice herself.
As for whether or not Elder Peng was aware of this, no one knew. However, the sacrificial flame had already reached this stage. It could be said that there was no turning back. Xiao Lingyu and Qing Xuan could only brace themselves and continue. If they stopped midway, no one would be able to save their lives.
Xiao Lingyu occasionally glanced at Qing Xuan. He saw that Qing Xuan's weak body was releasing such powerful energy to resist the boundless pressure, and Qing Xuan's delicate body was constantly trembling, blood, and her face was pale. He could not help but feel sorry for her.
After all, Xiao Lingyu was the one who would benefit the most from this Sacrificial Flame. If Qing Xuan sacrificed herself, it would naturally be counted on Xiao Lingyu's head.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, but for the three people on the stage, it was incomparably long.
Almost every moment, Qing Xuan was losing a large amount of life essence to maintain the power of the divine sword. If Qing Xuan was not a late-stage Immortal Emperor expert, all her energy would have been sucked away by the divine sword in a few breaths' time.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Qingxuan felt dizzy. She had lost too much of her life essence, which made it hard for her to maintain her soul and body. She said in her heart, "I've tried my best," and then fell on the stage.
Qing Xuan's somewhat slender divine sword also dimmed. It held on for another two breaths' time in the air before it fell on the stage with a clang.
At this moment, Elder Peng had coincidentally completely severed his connection with the Divine Flame. He shouted loudly and released his aura, helping Qing Xuan resist the surrounding pressure.
Xiao Lingyu's task was not yet complete. He still needed to continuously pour his life essence and soul into the transparent ball of energy that was completely occupied by the two high-level flames. Fortunately, he had stored a large amount of blood crystals in his body. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to continue.
Elder Peng's strength was about the same as Qing Xuan's. Naturally, he could resist the boundless pressure for a period of time. However, as he resisted, he also used his mind to take out a milky-white pill and sent it into Qing Xuan's mouth.
After sending the pill into Qing Xuan's mouth, Elder Peng took out a piece of white silk and wrapped it around Qing Xuan's body.
Qing Xuan's consciousness was muddled. She could not control her body and soul on her own. However, the white silk could temporarily seal her entire body.
By the time Elder Peng could not hold on any longer, the two flames had already intertwined with each other, constantly invading and fusing with each other. Now that they had stopped accepting Xiao Lingyu's Blood Soul, Xiao Lingyu's mission had been completed. Due to the severe loss, when he retracted his palm, his body involuntarily swayed, and his head felt a little dizzy.
Even so, he did not feed himself any medicinal pills to recuperate. Instead, he pounced in front of Qing Xuan without a second thought.
"Brother Xiao, don't worry. She's fine for now!"
Elder Peng reminded him. Then, he said, "Quickly take out that hexagonal crystal!"
Xiao Lingyu's expression was a little flustered. His hands were trembling, not because of himself, but because he was worried about Qing Xuan's situation.
He crawled to the center of the altar and inserted his fingers into the edge of the groove. With a sudden force, he easily pulled out the hexagonal crystal.
Perhaps he used too much strength, or perhaps he was too flustered. Xiao Lingyu held the hexagonal crystal with both hands and rolled a few times before stabilizing himself. Then, he crawled to Qing Xuan's side.
The reason he was in such a sorry state was because he was worried about Qing Xuan. If Qing Xuan had an accident because of this, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
It was not that Xiao Lingyu was soft-hearted. After all, Qing Xuan was doing this to help him. He was not a heartless fool.
After the hexagonal crystal left the groove, the altar stopped trembling. The flames in the fire pool stopped rolling and roaring, and the boundless pressure disappeared.
The center of the fire pool regained its calm. Only the energy of the high-level flames above the altar was still trembling slightly.
"Brother Xiao, with your fire control skills, try to inject some seals into it to speed up the fusion of the two flames with your Blood Soul!"
Elder Peng patted Xiao Lingyu's shoulder and said, "I'll take care of things here. Qing Xuan will be fine."
Xiao Lingyu's hands were still trembling, and his breathing was a little chaotic. Elder Peng frowned and said, "Brother Xiao, it's the last moment now. You can't lose your mind because of love. You have to calm down!"
Elder Peng's voice was like a morning bell ringing in Xiao Lingyu's ears. He could not help but feel refreshed, and his eyes gradually became clear.
Xiao Lingyu stood up again, took a deep breath, and began to form seals with his hands.
Group after group of seals were formed between Xiao Lingyu's fingers, and were then injected into the air.
At this time, several experts of the fire sect also flew over. Yi Xiaozi put away the hexagonal crystal beside Qing Xuan and said, "Old man, you're actually willing to give away the Divine Fire to someone else. It's really puzzling."
Elder Peng was also a little weak. He smiled and said, "Could it be that many people in the Immortal World say that I'm a stingy person?"
Yi Xiao 'zi shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, but this divine flame is like your life to a supreme grandmaster in equipment refinement like you. I'm truly unable to imagine exactly what benefits Fellow Daoist Xiao gave you to make you be so generous."
Elder Peng said, "This has nothing to do with a red-headed ghost like you."
Perhaps it was because Yi Xiaozi had refused Elder Peng with a strong attitude, so Elder Peng did not treat Yi Xiaozi well.
"I'm just a little regretful that the only grandmaster artificer in the Immortal World is gone just like that. What will an old man like you use to invite an Immortal Sovereign in the future?" Yi Xiaozi said with a strange tone.
"You'd better watch over the Firesource Continent. Don't let someone steal the Divine Fire from under your nose again." Elder Peng retorted.
In fact, neither Yi Xiaozi nor Elder Peng were evil people. It was just that the two of them were not on the right path because of what happened in the past.
"Is she alright? She was a little too desperate just now. " Yi Hao 'zi didn't want Elder Peng and Yi Xiao' zi to continue arguing, so he changed the topic.
"Her life is definitely not in danger, but …"
"But even if she recovers in the future, not only will her cultivation drop a lot, she will never be able to reach the Immortal Sovereign stage, let alone transcend the Divine Tribulation and ascend to the God Realm!"
Before Elder Peng could finish speaking, Yi Xiao 'zi spoke once more.
"Hmph! That's just because you don't know! "Elder Peng replied with a cold snort.
Yi Xiaozi was a straightforward person. It was not that he had the intention to laugh, but that he had a one-track mind and said whatever he thought of.
"Then tell me, do you have any way to reverse the situation? So that she can still cultivate like before in the future? "Yi Xiaozi asked unconvinced.
"As long as we find a divine grade material with ice attribute, we can stabilize her body and immortal nascent soul, and gradually recover her lost life essence. With the help of the divine grade material in her body, she can naturally advance to the Immortal Sovereign stage." Elder Peng said after thinking for a while.
"This is only a theoretical possibility. Even if you stabilize her body and immortal nascent soul, how can you make her soul safe?" Yi Xiaozi shrugged and asked.
"For the characteristics of her soul, refine a divine grade spirit congealing pill!" Elder Peng replied.
"Refine a divine pill? I remember that Great Grandmaster Peng is a refining great grandmaster, not an alchemy great grandmaster. "
Yi Xiaozi seemed to respond strangely, then patted his head and said, "By the way, Great Grandmaster Peng can go to that old man Mao Zhen. He is an alchemy great grandmaster, but I heard that Mao Zhen seems to have a bad relationship with you. If you go to him, it will probably be harder than coming to me."
Indeed, almost all the top powerhouses in the Immortal World knew that Elder Peng and Elder Mao did not have a good relationship. After all, they were both great grandmasters, proud people, and people who lived by their skills. Naturally, no one would admit defeat, and it was inevitable that sometimes they would be at loggerheads.
