In these 10 days, Venerable Han Mei and Venerable Yun Wei were equally anxious. As the qualifiers approached, if Chen Hao didn't wake up, they would miss this opportunity. This wasn't something they wanted to see.
Moreover, the sneaky actions of Chen Xue and the other five had been noticed by both of them.
Unfortunately, both of them had captured Jiang Hai, Huang Wenxu and the rest to interrogate them. They had even sent people to the Eastern Continent to investigate the situation, but they didn't find anything. However, their instincts told them that they were hiding something.
There were still 2 days before they had to set off. Both of them couldn't help but come to the palace where Chen Hao was and began to interrogate Chen Xue and the other five.
"Mother … we really don't know …"
"Hmph! Still lying? Do you really want him to miss this qualifiers? Do you know how big of a loss it would be to enter Elite Academy X a year later? " Venerable Han Mei stared at Chen Xue and said seriously, "Although the qualifiers of Elite Academy X are held every year, there is only one important opportunity every 60 years. If you miss this year, unless Chen Hao can step into the Immortal Realm, you will have to wait another 60 years! Is this the result you want? "
Hearing Venerable Han Mei's words, the six girls were shocked. After looking at each other, Chen Xue took a deep breath and asked, "Mother, what's the situation in Elite Academy X?"
"All you need to know is that the qualifiers this time are very important. Are you going to speak or not?" Venerable Han Mei said sternly.
"This … So … So, we thought that his soul was severely injured, so we didn't dare to tell you. We were afraid that you would …" Chen Xue knew that she couldn't hide it anymore. "We were afraid that you would give up on him. But now … I've checked all the secret manuals on soul injuries. Even the most serious soul injury would at most sleep for 10 days before waking up. But he … It's already been 20 days … and … we've used all kinds of methods, but we still couldn't wake him up …"
"Soul injury?"
"As expected! No wonder all of you hid it … "
When Venerable Han Mei and Venerable Yun Wei heard Chen Xue's words, they were enlightened. However, they weren't surprised. Obviously, both of them had already guessed the reason.
"Tell me, what's going on? What did Chen Hao tell you before he fell into a coma? "
"At that time, Soul Fighter Mo used his secret technique, and faced the threat of Noda Xie Qing, a half-step Human Immortal. Chen Hao … he had no choice but to … secretly burn … 800 years of his life …"
"What?" The two Venerables widened their eyes in shock. They had guessed that Chen Hao's soul had been severely damaged and that he must have used a secret technique to burn his lifespan. However, they had never imagined that he had burned his lifespan for 800 years!
What did eight hundred years mean?
A Manifestation realm cultivator only had a lifespan of a thousand years. Burning eight hundred years of his lifespan was equivalent to destroying four-fifths of his soul. How could he possibly recover from such a heavy injury?
"He said … it won't affect him too much. Mother, Apotheosis Yun Wei, I believe that Chen Hao won't be affected too much. You can't ignore him …"
"Master, Chen Hao will be fine. Even if his soul is injured, he will still be stronger than us!"
"Master …"
"Shut up!" The two Venerables' expressions became extremely ugly as they shouted at the six women. Apotheosis Han Mei was so angry that her lips were trembling. She stared at Chen Xue and the others and said, "Why … didn't you stop him?"
"Mother … we only knew about it after the event …"
"Bastard! Bastard! Just because of the Immortal Dao in the Eastern Continent, just because of such a small matter, he risked his life … 800 years of lifespan … that's 800 years of lifespan … "
"Sigh … it's too late to say anything now. Apotheosis Han Mei, this kid is too young. If we were his age, I'm afraid we would have done the same thing … What a pity …" Apotheosis Yun Wei shook her head and said, her eyes full of disappointment.
Seeing the two Venerables' expressions, Chen Xue, Helian Wuzi, Xia Youyou, Tantai Lian, and the two beautiful sisters suddenly revealed a look of horror. The way they looked at the two Venerables also changed.
Although the two of them had yet to reveal Chen Hao's final fate, Chen Xue and the others were already aware of it. It seemed … just as Xia Lingfeng had said, the world of cultivation was a cruel place. When a genius became mediocre, he would lose everything he had. This was the merciless Dao!
"Mother …"
"Master …"
"There's no need to say anything. We know what you're worried about. Things have already reached this stage. Even we can't do anything about it. Even if he's a genius, he won't be able to recover from such a serious injury to his soul. Even if he can wake up, I'm afraid he won't be able to step into the Human Celestial Realm in this lifetime … This also means that he only has a little more than 100 years left … "
"Impossible! Mother, you can't judge Chen Hao by an ordinary person's standards! He's definitely not as simple as you think! "
"As long as he's a human, no matter how talented he is, he won't be able to escape the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao. Mother knows how you feel about him … but that's the truth. Don't worry, whether it's me or Apotheosis Yun Wei, we won't give up on him. We can tell you now that as long as you can enjoy the treatment, we'll give it to him as well. After all … since he started cultivating until now, strictly speaking, we've never helped him or provided him with anything … Mother's only worry is that he can't accept the reality … All of you work hard. Mother promises to give him the best treatment as a core disciple of Cold Plum Hall. As long as he needs it, we'll treat him the same as you! "
"No! I believe in him! Mother, do you know how he got those Spiritual Treasure Sets? Do you know where he got those precious refining materials from? You don't know! None of you know! He's definitely not someone you can imagine, definitely not! " Chen Xue's beautiful little face turned cold. Although her mother didn't act like what Xia Lingfeng said, her words all revealed that she had given up on Chen Hao. Even the promised treatment was because of them. This made Chen Xue extremely sad. She knew Chen Hao very well, and she knew his character very well. She could imagine what decision Chen Hao would make if he was faced with such a situation after he woke up.
Relying on his own woman to get pity?
Was that still Chen Hao?
"We know that he has secrets … Little Xue, mother knows how you feel about him, and I also know that he used to be a monstrous talent, but …" Apotheosis Apotheosis Yun Wei paused for a while and said, "Alright, let's put this matter aside for now. There are two more days before we depart. What you should do now is to adjust your mentality and prepare for the selection competition of Elite Academy X. This is a rare opportunity for you!"
"That's right. When Chen Hao will wake up, and what kind of situation he will be in when he wakes up, we can't predict at all. We can only wait … "Apotheosis Yun Wei said.
"If he wakes up, I will participate in the competition. If he doesn't, I won't go either!" Chen Xue shook her head and said.
"Me too …"
"Me too!"
Helian Wuzi and the other four said one after another. Their expressions were firm and unshakable.
"Nonsense! Could it be that all of you are giving up just because of him? If it wasn't for the special situation this year, it would be fine. At most, we can wait for another year. But if we miss this year, we will have to wait for another sixty years! " Apotheosis Yun Wei, who was usually not angry, couldn't help but reprimand when she saw Helian Wuzi and the others like this.
"Don't you all believe in Chen Hao? If he recovers, how long do you think you can stay with him? What's the point of waiting for him? It's fine if he can't recover, but what if he recovers? Can your talent be compared to his? If you don't work hard now and miss this opportunity, once he recovers, the gap between you and him will be even bigger. One day, he will leave you far behind! " Apotheosis Han Mei said coldly, "Whether it's for him or for yourself, you'd better think about it carefully! Give me an answer tonight. If you insist, Apotheosis Yun Wei and I will not stop you! Humph! Yun Wei, let's go! "
Hiss!
After the two Celestial Primes finished speaking, they left the palace at the same time, leaving the six women in a daze.
…
Rumble!
"Ah? Old Deity … "
In the depths of Chen Hao's mind, when a stalwart figure approached a dark light spot, it suddenly shone with a bright golden light. Almost in an instant, the stalwart figure was blasted away. Not far away, another figure screamed in horror.
Hiss! Hiss!
Mysterious fluctuations floated in Chen Hao's mind. After an hour, the stalwart figure condensed again, his face full of shock. The stalwart figure was the Old Deity.
"How could this be? How could it be so terrifying? "
Upon hearing the Old Deity's words, the Treasure Hunter Sword's spirit asked nervously, "Old Deity, what's going on?"
"I don't know … With my current mental cultivation base, I can't even get close to it. In an instant, just an instant, my mental cultivation base was blasted away and crushed into powder … If I were a soul, I'm afraid my soul would have been destroyed …"
"Ah? Then, Chen Hao, he … "
"Even though I've only activated a tiny bit of my current mental strength, it's still at the peak of the Worldly Immortal Realm, yet it was actually unable to withstand a single blow … If I'm not wrong, then the mental attack created by this black dot is at least at the initial-stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm. Moreover, Chen Hao is trapped within it … Inconceivable, inconceivable … Such a strange situation is something that even my previous masters have never encountered. Could it be that it's because Chen Hao's soul is comparatively special?"
The Old Deity muttered to himself with a shocked expression as though he did not hear the Treasure Hunter Sword's spirit's question.
"It must be! His soul was originally the fusion of two lifetimes, and one of them was even cultivated through heaven-defying technological means. Such a soul had probably transcended beyond the cycle of reincarnation and wasn't part of the origin. In addition, the fusion of two souls had caused his soul to mutate … such a mutated soul, after suffering a great soul injury, would begin to repair itself, evolve … or even fuse further! It must be so! That must be the case! " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
