Chapter 530: Take Care of Yourself First

Hua Changxi knew nothing about the various schemes and calculations of the human forces regarding the Nine Nether Soul Realm.

After escaping from the Nine Netherworlds and returning to the human world, she went straight back to the Lingguang Hall and leaped into the surging magma fire sea of the underground power transmission platform.

This trip to the Nine Netherworlds did not suffer any heavy damage, but the consumption was quite large.

Spiritual power and soul power were almost exhausted, and the blood and energy of her whole body were consumed by more than 80%.

At this moment, she urgently needed a good rest.

In the magma flames, Hua Changxi turned into fire, completely merging herself with the fire sea, and surging and galloping with it.

Time seemed to have disappeared for her...

However, the outside world was surging with wind and clouds.

In the Lingguang Hall, all the hall masters and managers gathered together, the atmosphere in the hall was heavy, and everyone's expressions were solemn.

Since the end of the Jiuguan Auction, as human cultivators returned to the human world one after another, the Lingguang Hall had never had a moment of peace.

Cultivators from all sides came one after another, all wanting to see the Hall Master.

Although they refused the vast majority of visitors on the grounds of 'the Hall Master is in seclusion and declines to be disturbed', the people who handed in visiting cards were still endless, one wave after another.

The Lingguang Hall also sent people to the Jiuguan Auction.

Everyone in the Lingguang Hall knew why all sides were so eager to see the Hall Master.

All sides were eyeing the Nine Nether Soul Realm!

The Mission Hall was in charge of the internal mission distribution and various external affairs of the Lingguang Hall, and Hall Master Xie Hanzhang directly took out a visiting card engraved with a green dragon pattern.

"Everyone, do you know what kind of visiting card I received today?"

Everyone looked over one after another.

"Green Dragon?"

"Could it be... the Green Dragon Army?"

Xie Hanzhang nodded with a smile: "Not bad, this visiting card came from the Hall Master of the Meng Zhangdian."

Hearing this, everyone was excited.

Performance Hall Master Duan Jishan: "The Meng Zhangdian has appeared?"

Merit Hall Master Su Yu: "Why is there no movement at all?"

The hall masters and managers discussed it one after another.

Xie Hanzhang: "... The path taken by the Meng Zhangdian should be different from our Lingguang Hall. They should want to develop and grow secretly."

Su Yu: "Since they want to develop secretly, why are they jumping out now?"

Xie Hanzhang: "It seems that the Nine Nether Soul Realm is even more important than we imagined."

Duan Jishan: "The Meng Zhangdian, which commands the Green Dragon Army, has appeared without our knowledge. What about the Jianbing Hall, which commands the White Tiger Army, and the Zhiming Hall, which commands the Black Tortoise Army? Could it be that they have also appeared long ago and are developing and growing silently?"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Duan Jishan frowned: "This matter must be made known to the Hall Master as soon as possible. Among the Four Spirit Armies, our Zhu Que Army is a bit too active."

All the managers nodded in agreement.

After a silence, Su Yu suddenly smiled: "Do you think the five holy lands and the Xuanyuan Army will also send visiting cards?"

Logistics Department Hall Master Yun You said: "No matter who sends the visiting card, without the Hall Master's instructions, we just need to receive the guests well and not neglect them."

While the hall masters and managers of the Lingguang Hall were discussing, forces from all sides were also secretly paying attention to the movements of the Lingguang Hall.

"Why has there been no movement from Wei Zhenjie's side?"

"Could it be that he really intends to wash his hands of the Nine Nether Soul Realm matter?"

"Impossible, the Nine Nether Soul Realm concerns the number of cultivators at the Spirit Platform Realm and above. He cannot ignore it."

Seeing that the Central Holy Land had no movement, and the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall had been in seclusion, other forces calmed down a little.

Time passed, and a month went by.

On the underground power transmission array platform of the Lingguang Hall, a fire-red figure sat cross-legged. Above her head, an ancient luminous cup hung tilted, and a soul river water the thickness of a thumb flowed out slowly from the cup.

The soul river water dispersed in mid-air, turning into rich white soul mist, lingering, and then being absorbed by the fire-red figure at high speed.

I don't know how long it took, the luminous cup was poured dry, and not a drop of soul river water poured down again.

At this time, Hua Changxi slowly opened her eyes.

【Realm: Infant Transformation Realm 9.99 billion/1 billion; Divine Sense: 9.9 billion points】

Fortunately, although the soul body had not fully recovered, it was almost replenished.

Hua Changxi summoned the luminous cup back into her hand and turned it around: "The internal memory is still too small, it doesn't hold enough soul river water."

Putting away the luminous cup, Hua Changxi carefully sensed her body.

Spiritual power and soul power had recovered, but the blood and energy in her body were still deficient, and a feeling of weakness came faintly.

This time, the loss of blood and energy was too great, and relying solely on the recovery power of the physical body, she could not replenish the blood and energy in a short time.

"It seems I have to go to the Zhurong Tomb and use the blood and energy recovery inside."

At the same time, when Hua Changxi looked inside herself, her gaze swept to the primordial infant, and she found that deep in the black flames lingering on the primordial infant's heart, there were actually some weak white sparks out of thin air.

White stars dotted, intertwined with the black flames.

Hua Changxi's heart moved, and she vaguely realized something.

In the Five Directions Great Array, the group battle between humans and the Nine Netherworlds drew her emotions.

The humans were weak, and before standing out to protect the human cultivators, she had hesitated.

She didn't want to expose her identity!

In the end, the camaraderie outweighed the weighing of pros and cons, and she took on the responsibility of the commander of the Zhu Que Army.

"Responsibility..."

Hua Changxi's emotions fluctuated because of these two words.

As her emotions moved, the black flames swayed, and the white sparks flickered.

"Is this the price of breaking through the realm?"

Hua Changxi clearly sensed that as the number of white sparks increased, the invisible barrier standing before the Spirit Platform Realm loosened again.

She had an increasingly strong feeling that to open the Spirit Platform, she had to ignite more white sparks and let the white sparks gather into flames.

Hua Changxi's eyes flickered continuously; every time the white sparks increased, it was after her 'selfless saving of people'...

Before this, she had always felt that she could not break through the realm because of her state of mind; but now, she suddenly realized that perhaps the 'Zhu Que Divine Art' she practiced carried its own test.

Whether she had the 'responsibility to protect all living beings' in her heart was the test for every breakthrough of the 'Zhu Que Divine Art'!

"Sigh..."

Hua Changxi now understood why she could not open the Spirit Platform, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and even instinctively felt resistant.

All the benefits given by fate are marked with a price.

This sentence is really not wrong.

Back then, she was caught and sacrificed, luckily obtained the 'Zhu Que Divine Art', and was able to step onto the path of cultivation.

Now it seems that this luck also requires a price.

After a long silence, Hua Changxi sighed and got up to leave the underground power transmission platform.

"Buzz~"

Hua Changxi opened the constantly vibrating One-Thought-Connection, quickly looked through the messages sent by the hall masters, and frowned.

"Share the Nine Nether Soul Realm..."

Originally, because she had figured out the barrier to breaking through the Spirit Platform Realm, she felt the pressure of the cultivation method's restriction, and now, seeing that forces from all sides were using the righteousness of the human race to threaten her, she was filled with disgust and aversion.

Hua Changxi directly put away the One-Thought-Connection and was too lazy to reply to a single message.

No matter what, no matter what her identity was, in such a chaotic world, absolute strength was the foundation of her foothold.

What righteousness and responsibility, if she didn't exist, what was the point?

So, she should take care of herself first.

Hua Changxi left the Power Transmission Hall and directly teleported to the Zhurong Tomb to recover her blood and energy. Before she fully recovered, she didn't want to deal with anything. ===== CHAPTER 531 =====
