Chapter 82 The Power of Life and Death
Reading Settings
In an instant, the blood in his body surged, and the meridians throughout his body were being torn apart little by little by the two forces.
Lu Fuyue weakly opened her eyes and gave a helpless bitter smile. Who would have thought that all of this was because there were two forces within her body constantly colliding with each other in her dantian.
One was her own water elemental power, and the other was the phoenix bloodline power she had just obtained from that pool.
Water and fire are incompatible.
In the end, it was her body that suffered.
Sure enough, Lu Fuyue soon began to bleed from all seven orifices and lost consciousness.
It seems that I may have to end my life here today.
Lu Fuyue's soul gradually left her body and drifted away into the air.
She looked at her body lying on the ice, and in an instant it transformed back into her original form, and then into a small golden-red phoenix.
Two opposing forces were constantly battling within her, evenly matched and neither willing to yield to the other.
Lu Fuyue's soul, which was floating in mid-air, suddenly rushed back to her body.
No, there is still hope for her. As long as these two forces are balanced and restrained, she can find a glimmer of hope.
But just as Lu Fuyue was about to enter her body, a powerful phoenix bloodline force suddenly appeared in her body, pulling at Lu Fuyue's soul and forcibly dragging her away.
The Phoenix Clan is extremely xenophobic, and since Lu Fuyue's soul belongs to the human race, she will naturally be rejected by the Phoenix bloodline power.
Her expression changed drastically in an instant, and a tremendous sense of powerlessness welled up inside her.
Could it be... that she's really going to die here...?
Suddenly, an aged voice clearly reached her ears.
"Concentrate your mind and gather your energy, circulate your cultivation technique, suppress the power of the phoenix bloodline within your dantian, and seal it with the life and death energy within your body."
"Since we can't eliminate it, let's seal it away."
Lu Fuyue was slightly taken aback. The power of life and death within her body?
Could it be that mysterious power that saved her time and time again?
At that moment, an old man with a refined and otherworldly air, and completely white hair and beard, appeared out of thin air in front of her.
Looking at the two mutually restraining forces within Lu Fuyue's body, the Ice Phoenix Ancestor sighed softly.
Unexpectedly, one of this child's ancestors was actually a member of the Fire Phoenix clan.
Although countless generations have passed, the phoenix bloodline within her has almost vanished.
But ultimately, they do have some connection with their phoenix clan.
Unexpectedly, due to a series of misunderstandings, Feng Wu misunderstood and threw the child into the Phoenix Bloodline Purification Pool, increasing the concentration of Phoenix Bloodline in her body.
There was also a slight sign of atavism.
However, fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and for her, misfortune ultimately outweighed fortune.
So be it. His Phoenix Clan is now dwindling in number, and this child might be the last remaining wisp of Phoenix blood in the world.
Let's help her then.
With a flick of his sleeve, the Ice Phoenix Ancestor sent Lu Fuyue back into his body.
As soon as it entered her body, Lu Fuyue followed the words of the Ice Phoenix Ancestor, forcing herself to calm down, then focused her mind and gathered her energy, circulating her cultivation technique, trying to find the life and death power he had mentioned from within her body once again.
At the same time, the two forces continued to tear at Lu Fuyue's body.
In an instant, his body, meridians, and dantian all felt a dense, tearing pain.
Slowly, bright red blood began to flow from Lu Fuyue's seven orifices again, staining the ground red.
However, Lu Fuyue was not distracted at all. She focused her attention on her dantian and circulated her cultivation technique, gradually drawing out the last bit of spiritual power she could muster in this situation, and slowly drawing out that life-and-death power.
She remembered that the power that had saved her time and time again came from her dantian.
As expected, with her persistent efforts, two wisps of energy reappeared from Lu Fuyue's dantian in the shape of a tai chi symbol.
One in black, one in white; one alive, one dead.
Lu Fuyue noticed the unusual sensation in her dantian and was overjoyed; she had succeeded.
She calmed herself down again, guided the black death energy to the location of the phoenix bloodline power, and then gradually covered and sealed it with vitality.
Soon, the spiritual energy within Lu Fuyue's body finally calmed down, and the tearing sensation throughout her body gradually disappeared.
Finally, using that white vitality, it slowly traveled through her meridians, repairing the hidden dangers left by the two forces.
Because the power of the phoenix bloodline was sealed, her body returned to its previous state.
It's finally over.
Lu Fuyue slowly opened her eyes, then stood up and bowed respectfully to the Ice Phoenix Ancestor.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior."
This senior seemed like an ordinary old man, without any sharp aura, but just by standing next to him, she felt her body subconsciously wanting to submit to him.
This was definitely the most unfathomable person she had ever met.
She was stronger than the woman in blue she had met before.
The Ice Phoenix Ancestor shook his head. "Don't rush to thank me. The power of the phoenix bloodline within you is only temporarily sealed."
"If you don't find a solution to it within ten years, then you will face the prospect of your body exploding and your soul being scattered."
Lu Fuyue was startled and looked up at him, "Senior, is there any solution?"
The Ice Phoenix Ancestor stroked his long beard, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "Do you know where this wisp of phoenix bloodline power within you comes from?"
Lu Fuyue was slightly taken aback, then hesitated before asking, "Could it be that one of my ancestors intermarried with the Phoenix Clan?"
Elder Ice Phoenix nodded. "That's right. If I'm not mistaken, that phoenix is still a member of the Fire Phoenix clan, sharing the same roots as our Ice Phoenix clan but not the same origin."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Logically, someone with the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix should be born with a top-grade Fire Spirit Body."
"However, the phoenix bloodline within you is almost non-existent, so strictly speaking, you are still human, and therefore you are not a fire spirit."
"But you happen to have the Water Spirit Body, which is incompatible with the Fire Phoenix bloodline."
"That's why what just happened occurred."
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips. In fact, she knew in her heart that it was because these two things were incompatible that she bled from all seven orifices, her tendons and veins were broken, and she almost died here.
It seems that the phoenix feather in her mother's hand is a mark left by her family's fire phoenix ancestor.
The phoenix bloodline within her also comes from her mother's side.
The Ice Phoenix Ancestor sensed Lu Fuyue's unease and said, "Actually, there is a way, but it depends on whether you can succeed."
Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. "Senior, please speak frankly. No matter how difficult it is, I would like to give it a try."
