Chapter 214 - They Are Here
Xiao Bao could not help but glance at Xiao Jin. He was well aware that there was a much larger chance of dying than fifty percent. There was only around a twenty percent chance for survival, but he was not going to dampen the mood.
Bai Rouyun naturally noticed the complex emotion on Xiao Bao’s face, and understood that Xiao Jin was being optimistic. She also easily understood her thoughts.
Either she lived, or she died, so technically, it was still a fifty percent chance for survival. Unfortunately, things were not actually like this, but she was not going to tell that to Xiao Jin. After all, the little cauldron was very worried on her behalf.
Sighing, Bai Rouyun no longer hesitated. She had already placed the pill within the water, and if she delayed for too long, she would end up wasting the medicinal properties of the pill.
The reason she had picked this method was that the fierceness of the medicinal properties would be much lower when she bathed in the water than if she consumed it directly. Even so, she was still worried.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the bathtub. Her senses instantly awakened with an intense pain that spread from her skin and deep into her bones.
She gritted her teeth as she allowed wave after wave of pain to wash over her body, but she also felt relieved. While the pain was extremely intense, it was nothing when compared to a person who had her soul ripped apart, or when she died in the past.
All the small treasures and creatures in the Primal Chaos Dimension were worried as they observed her in the outside world. While some of them refused to admit it, they all truly loved their new master, and they feared that something would happen to her. Even so, they did not want to try to make her change her mind.
They understood that she had to make her own decisions, and that their only option was to do something to help her overcome all the disasters she encountered. It was not their position to try to change her mind.
The Foundation Building Pill had been dropped into the water, and while it was much smoother to absorb the energy this way, it was not intended to be used in a bath, so more than half the energy dissipated into the air.
While most experts would find this very wasteful, it was a great benefit to Bai Rouyun, as her body would be unable to withstand the full force of the pill.
When one consumed the pill, it would take two hours to recreate the body. During these two hours, the pain one would experience could not be imagined, but due to the change in how the energy was consumed, Bai Rouyun remained within the water for eight hours before her body was fully rebuilt.
The pain she experienced was many times more than what an ordinary cultivator would experience. The slower process also lengthened the pain, and her face was pale when she finally rose from the water.
Staggering slightly, her body was devoid of all energy. She dried herself before dressing swiftly. She had no energy, and barely stumbled to the bed, where she crashed into the soft cushions and passed out.
While the pain could not be compared to what she had experienced when she died, since that had been a rather short burst of pain. The pill had been causing such intense agony to her for hours, so she had no other intention than to sleep. She did not even have the energy to check what changes had been brought to her body.
When Bai Rouyun fell asleep, it was as if someone had released the tension that had been in the air in the Primal Chaos Dimension for eight hours. The creatures and spirits within finally took a deep breath of relief. She was okay. No matter what happened to her, as long as she did not die they would be satisfied.
It was a silent night in Canglan City, but at another place on the continent, another scene was taking place.
Li Moyun was leaning against a tree, his expression was solemn, and his eyes showed the severity of the situation. On his shoulder was Xiao Long, and he dared not make even the slightest sound.
They were at the edge of the forest, looking at the lush fields in front of them, and waiting. They could feel the approach of three auras that were similar to that of Xiao Long, and the speed with which they moved was swifter than even Li Moyun’s fastest speed.
This showed that when they met, there was no chance of running away.
The sun was breaking through the horizon, dying the skies purple and leaving a beautiful scenery in front of the two, when three figures appeared on the field.
Li Moyun could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. He had expected the figures that appeared to be dragons, but they were all humans wearing golden robes.
The three of them were heading straight for Li Moyun and Xiao Long, but they did not rush to their side. When they were fifty meters away, they came to a stop, clearly displaying an attitude of not wanting to startle the other two.
Li Moyun’s brows furrowed as he felt somewhat confused. He did not understand what the attitude of these experts was, and he was not certain of what would be waiting for them in the next moment.
Even Xiao Long’s body was taut, and his eyes full of vigilance.
The three experts glanced at one another, and Li Moyun noticed the excitement in their eyes as they landed on Xiao Long. It seemed as if they had found the most revered person in the world.
"Greetings to His Majesty!" The sound of their voice reverberated through the fields, as they had called out with all their might.
