Chapter 302: Moonlight Body

After Lingyun left, Chen Jing asked the old man beside her, "Elder Wu, what level would you say Lingyun's strength has reached?"

Elder Wu pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Inscrutable. To be able to defeat the Chief Judge, his strength is at least Innate Late Stage; to be able to kill the Chief Judge in a god-descended state, his strength is at least Xiantian Ultimate. But looking at him, it seems he hasn't even used his full strength yet. To be able to hide his strength when facing such a formidable enemy—this friend of yours is definitely no ordinary person."

"So, he has already become this powerful," Chen Jing secretly clenched her fists.

"Moreover, that girl by his side is also no ordinary person," Elder Wu sighed.

"You mean Ye Xi?" Chen Jing asked.

"That's right, that young girl's strength is also not to be underestimated. To be honest, I have no confidence in defeating her," Elder Wu sighed. "Truly, the waves of the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each generation produces its own talents!"

"Master, you should be able to solve the problem with Senior Sister this time, right?" Luo Yexi asked.

"No problem, but doing so will likely consume more than half of this Crystal's power. After all, completely fusing the soul and body together again requires a terrifying amount of consumption. Without this Crystal, even a Golden Core expert wouldn't dare do this easily!" Lingyun glanced at Luo Yexi and said, "Plus, for these years, this Crystal has been consuming power to maintain the connection between Shui Yunyue's soul and body, so more than half the energy is already gone. After this time, this Crystal will likely be useless."

Luo Yexi nodded thoughtfully, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, though it was unclear what she was thinking.

"In other words, this Crystal will be useless after tonight?" Shui Yunyue asked somewhat nervously.

"I just hope your luck is good enough to solve your body's problem before the power in the Crystal is exhausted," Lingyun said. "By the way, is the place I asked you to prepare ready?"

Shui Yunyue nodded slightly; how could she not be well-prepared for a matter concerning her own life? Under Shui Yunyue's guidance, the three of them soon arrived at a bungalow. Outside this bungalow, there were quite a few people standing guard; judging by the way they spoke with Shui Yunyue, they were likely elites of the Shui Family.

"Are the items all prepared?" Lingyun asked.

"They are all prepared. I must thank little brother Lingyun for your help this time," Shui Yunyue's father said to Lingyun.

"Regardless, Senior Sister Shui Yunyue's exposure has a certain connection to us, so let this be our compensation," Lingyun said. "Please, everyone, guard the perimeter well; I will resolve Senior Sister's physical hidden danger as soon as possible."

"Rest assured, Master. Leave the security of the surroundings to us," Luo Yexi smiled slightly. Beside her, Busujima Saeko, Esdeath, and Lingqi appeared quietly.

After everyone else had left, Lingyun had Shui Yunyue lie on the bed. Lingyun reached out into the Void, and streaks of Array Patterns appeared before him. The Array Patterns wove together rapidly in the Void, eventually forming an Array that enveloped the entire bed.

After setting up the Array, Lingyun swept his hands through the Void, and the Moon Radiance in the sky gathered toward this location under the influence of the Array. The Insight Crystal on Shui Yunyue's chest seemed to be attracted by something, slowly floating up and embedding itself into the center of the Array. After the Insight Crystal left her body, Shui Yunyue groaned and fainted. Once the Insight Crystal was embedded, the Array began to emit a silver light.

At the same time, Shui Yunyue, lying on the bed, frowned, revealing a pained expression. A golden light flashed in Lingyun's eyes; in his vision, a translucent figure appeared above Shui Yunyue's body—it was Shui Yunyue's soul. However, there seemed to be an inexplicable repulsive force between her soul and body, preventing them from fusing together.

"Hmm, this soul contains powerful Moonlight Power, causing the aura of the soul to change slightly. Yet the body is far too fragile and cannot bear the powerful soul, which is why it rejects it?" Lingyun said, frowning. "Forget it, consider yourself lucky. Since your current situation was caused by my Insight Crystal, I will go with the flow and grant you a stroke of fortune."

Lingyun flicked his fingers ten times, and streaks of light fell into Shui Yunyue's body. The Moon Radiance gathered by the Array surged, pouring into Shui Yunyue's body. Once the Moonlight Power entered her body, it began to reshape her somewhat weak physique.

Under Lingyun's guidance, Shui Yunyue's constitution was gradually transforming toward a Moonlight Body. The Moonlight Body is a rare, top-tier constitution capable of directly absorbing Moonlight Power and converting it into one's own True Qi. Although Lingyun could not turn her into an innate Moonlight Body right now, converting her into a Post-Heaven Moonlight Body was no problem.

While Lingyun was transforming Luo Yexi's constitution, figures began to appear around the bungalow. These people might have come from different places, but they all had the same goal: to seize the Insight Crystal currently in Shui Yunyue's possession.

But they also knew this would not be an easy task; the people from the Dragon Group would not let them run wild here. Under this pressure, they all united, preparing to seize the Crystal first.

"One more step, and you die!" Luo Yexi looked at the crowd and said coldly. A terrifying aura boiled over, causing the faces of the intruders present to turn ugly.

At the same time, Busujima Saeko and the other two stepped forward in unison, their equally terrifying auras instantly expanding.

"Kill them! There are only four of them; are we really going to be afraid of them?" someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

Encouraged by this person, the people present stopped caring about anything else and charged at Luo Yexi and the others. Suddenly, shouts of battle erupted, and the scene instantly fell into a chaotic melee.

Seeing the scene fall into a chaotic melee, some wanted to fish in troubled waters and sneak into the bungalow. But when they reached the front of the bungalow, they were met by two extremely sharp Samurai Swords. Akame and Kurome stood guard in front of the room, blocking everyone who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

Seconds ticked by, and the battle became increasingly intense; the Dragon Group had already arrived to provide support. With the home-field advantage and the four top experts like Luo Yexi, the defeat of the foreign forces was a foregone conclusion.

Inside the bungalow, the transformation of the Moonlight Body had reached a critical juncture. If anyone were to enter the bungalow now, they would find the entire room filled with Moon Radiance. This Moon Radiance was not only drawn by the Array Lingyun had set up, but flowed even more from the Insight Crystal. Shui Yunyue's body had been dyed silver by the Moon Radiance, and one could faintly see her inhaling and exhaling Moonlight Power with every breath.

"Dissolve for me!" Lingyun changed the Dharma Seal in his hands, and the Moonlight Power instantly condensed into mysterious and unfathomable runes, merging into Shui Yunyue's body. After these runes merged into her, Shui Yunyue's body trembled slightly; although her soul had left her body, a hint of inviolable coldness still emanated from her frame.

"Soul, return to your place!" Lingyun's powerful Divine Sense projected out of his body, turning into a large hand that grabbed Shui Yunyue's soul and pressed it toward her body.

The moment the soul approached the physical body, an invisible suction force emanated from within Shui Yunyue, instantly pulling her soul inside. The moment the soul entered the body, a powerful aura erupted from Shui Yunyue, and a silver light pierced through her body, shooting straight into the sky. If the bungalow hadn't blocked the light, people within a radius of nearly a thousand meters would likely have seen this sight.

People outside the room quickly discovered this situation; whether it was the suddenly appearing light or the suddenly appearing powerful aura, there was no concealment at all—it was extremely obvious.

"It seems Master has succeeded!" Luo Yexi smiled faintly. Light gathered on her Nine Suns Heavenly Sword, and with one strike, she sent the person in front of her vomiting blood and retreating.

The moment the bright light appeared, Shui Cloud Sea rushed into the room. Afterward, he was forced back out of the room by Shui Yunyue's powerful aura. Looking at Shui Yunyue, who was surrounded by wisps of Moon Radiance, Shui Cloud Sea was somewhat dazed; his sister now looked as if she were a fairy who had descended from the Moon Palace.

"Alright, I have solved your sister's problem. Your sister has absorbed almost all the power of that Crystal; she has received a great stroke of fortune." Lingyun walked to Shui Cloud Sea's side and patted his shoulder, bringing him back to his senses. "It's just that she probably hasn't learned to control her surging power yet, so you need to be careful."

Having said that, Lingyun walked out of the room.

Seeing Lingyun appear at the doorway, Luo Yexi and the other five simultaneously repelled their opponents and flashed to Lingyun's side.

"Master, is it solved?" Luo Yexi asked.

"Solved. If nothing goes wrong, Beijing will have one more young Innate Expert in the future," Lingyun said with a smile.
