Chapter 32: Ominous Power, No Hope, Unless the Primordial Ancestor Returns

"What?"

"Dark E Tu?"

Purple Fairy's face changed drastically, unable to believe.

Dark E Tu symbolizes misfortune.

Rumor says terrifying dark taboo beings reside there, making it the most dangerous place in the world.

Not to mention ordinary cultivators; even a Longevity Realm powerhouse who enters would have only a slim hope of getting out.

Furthermore, inside lurks a kind of ominous aura; even a trace will cause one's divine power and life essence to be continually drained until complete extinction.

Originally, for such a terrifying place, the top forces and powerhouses of the Xuanhuang Great World.

They would absolutely not tolerate its existence; in fact, that is precisely the situation.

Whether in the primordial era, ancient times, or the present.

Various powers have united, among them not a few who style themselves as Emperors.

They have attacked Dark E Tu more than once, yet every attempt ended in failure.

Countless people were slaughtered, dying unjust deaths; even the imperial capital fell.

Yet that forbidden region still exists.

Terrifying creatures constantly pour out, impossible to kill them all.

Because beneath the Evil Land lies, so they say, a black river with no source or end.

Not only the Xuanhuang Great World, but even the Three Thousand Great Worlds are affected by it.

Moreover.

Each campaign.

Will provoke the beings within, then trigger a dark turmoil, slaughtering all living beings.

Helpless, the world's overlords and powerhouses could only give up the campaign.

Normally they only monitor, never acting rashly.

Purple Fairy understood.

She also knew the terror of Dark E Tu.

So, upon learning that her mother had been touched by a wisp of that ominous aura.

She froze, realizing how grave the situation was.

"It's also my fault; I shouldn't have let your mother act alone back then." Beside her, Elder Purple's face turned deathly pale, full of self-reproach.

"Master, is-is there any way?" Purple Fairy came to her senses, looking toward the Taiyi Sacred Lord, her voice pleading.

Although she well knew that any substance from Dark E Tu, once contaminated,

it means death; in the present age, likely no one can be saved.

Sure enough.

The Taiyi Sacred Lord shook his head and said softly: "If it were merely an ordinary injury, even if the body were destroyed, to our Taiyi Sacred Land it would be no big deal, easily repaired; but what Elder Lin now bears is the ominous aura of the Evil Land."

"Even if we produced the Undying Divine Pill, it would be of no use; after all, her present state is something we can barely sustain."

Upon hearing this, Purple Fairy collapsed to the ground, staring at her mother before her, tears streaming uncontrollably.

Originally, having married into the Lu Family and being unable to repay her parents' nurturing kindness, she felt deeply troubled.

Now, having finally returned with great difficulty, she must face her mother's death.

Whoever it might be.

Would likely be unable to control their emotions.

"Actually, there is indeed a way."

Just then, the Grand Elder suddenly spoke, but as he was about to continue,

Beside him, the Taiyi Sacred Lord immediately understood his meaning: "Grand Elder, speak cautiously!"

Upon hearing that, he also fell silent, choosing to keep his mouth shut.

"What method?"

But Purple Fairy, as if grasping at the last hope, hurriedly said: "Master, please let the Grand Elder speak."

The Taiyi Sacred Lord furrowed his brows, let out a slight sigh, understanding that his disciple would absolutely not relent.

The Grand Elder also felt a bit regretful for having spoken, but having already said it, he had to continue: "That wisp of ominous aura has fused with Elder Purple's origin; ordinary methods simply won't work."

"But if a close relative were to sacrifice their own essence blood to cleanse the origin, perhaps there is hope."

"The close relative in question is none other than myself, is it not?" Upon hearing this, Purple Fairy rose. Without any hesitation, she declared: "I will use my essence blood; if it can save my mother, I am willing to do anything."

"Zi'er, come to your senses; normally it'd be fine, but you're now nine months pregnant."

"Even if you don't think for yourself, you must think for the child in your womb!"

The Taiyi Sacred Lord's face grew stern: "Moreover, if you are willing, what about the Lu Family? This child is not yours alone; at the very least, you need Lu Wushang's consent, right?"

Lu Wushang is on the Starry Sky Ancient Road and cannot return.

But Purple Fairy knows that if her husband were aware, he would surely agree as well.

The crucial point is that she is currently pregnant and about to give birth; drawing out her essence blood, with the master and elders present, would not endanger her life.

At most she would merely drop a realm; but if it were to affect the child, what then? On one side is her mother, on the other is her own child.

Purple Fairy then collapsed limp to the ground.

How to choose?

How to decide?

She simply doesn't know, and dares not make this decision.

Beside her, Lan Xuan's eyes also reddened slightly; seeing her senior sister's state made her feel heartache.

At the same time.

Lu Zhangsheng in the womb.

After obtaining that information from outside.

He could fully understand his mother's feelings.

He clearly understood that, when the other party had Dao injuries, even if they sacrificed their lives, they still protected him.

Now, if using the child's safety to exchange for the mother's chance to live, it is indeed difficult.

But actually, Lu Zhangsheng clearly knows in his heart that even if he did it,

That, for him now, the influence is not great either.

Now his own fleshly body has been completely wrapped by the primordial original qi, possessing this primordial force of heaven and earth, and with the strength of the Primordial Dao Fetus, Lu Zhangsheng will not be implicated by the mother's body.

But, he simply has no way to inform his mother now.

And even if he could do it.

Would the other party choose to agree? "These people, can't they think of a separate method?" Lu Zhangsheng complained, but more so it was helplessness.

The outside world.

Purple Elder looked at his daughter's appearance, feeling extremely heartbroken.

He walked over and spoke to comfort: "It's fine, after all the child is about to be born; moreover, if your mother wakes up, she will certainly not let anything happen to her grandson."

The child is about to be born?

Purple Fairy's eyes instantly lit up.

She looked toward her master and the great elder: "If I give birth to the child, would that be enough?"

Less than a month's time, she felt it should be enough.

"Not possible."

But at this moment, the Taiyi Holy Lord directly shook his head: "Elder Lin's situation is very bad."

"She can stay alive entirely because of the Putuo Wudao Tai left by the primordial ancestor, which has been stained with the primordial ancestor's aura."

"But this can only temporarily suppress it, not a remedy, and cannot be maintained for that long."

Speaking to this point, she sighed slightly, if it weren't for Elder Lin's situation being too bad.

She herself would not, at the time when her disciple was nine months pregnant, send a message to the Lu Family.

"Really, is there really no method at all?"

Purple Fairy became dazed, her eyes lacking luster.

"'Ah, if the primordial ancestor could be revived, that would be good.' An elder spoke."

Especially the great elder spoke more directly: "Yes, and the primordial ancestor is the Ancient Saint Body, possessing golden divine blood, innately suppressing all demonic and ominous forces, and is the bane of the Dark E Tu."

"Elder Lin can persist to now, also precisely because of the Putuo Wudao Tai, having a trace of the Saint Body's power."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent, agreeing with this statement.

But the problem is, it's too difficult!
