1702 The Magical Effect of the Power of Blessing
“Crows can smell a dying person.” Jing Rujiu licked her lips as she asked Sheng Xiao uneasily, “Sheng Xiao, do you think she…”
His thick eyelashes fluttered and shook off the yellow sand on them.
After Sheng Xiao opened his eyes and glanced at the marriage compact on his ring finger, he said hoarsely, “She’s still alive.”
“Then why is there no movement at all?” Jing Rujiu blinked her sore eyes and said, “She cast a silencing spell on herself, didn’t she?” She had already guessed it, but since Sheng Xiao didn’t say it, she didn’t ask.
Sheng Xiao stared at the black crows in the sky and nodded slightly as he said in a low voice, “She’s always been like this. She always bears all the pain alone.” Sheng Xiao sighed softly as he added, “If there’s any way to help her share her pain, that would be great.”
At this moment, to the east of the desert, the city built on Prime Emperor Ice Flame’s giant snake skeleton suddenly opened its tightly shut city gate.
After Sheng Xiao and Jing Rujiu looked up at the Ice Blazing City at the same time, they saw groups of citizens in wind-blocking robes and dust-proof veils walking out of the Blazing Flame City with moonlight lamps. The old mayor of the Ice Blazing City was at the front.
The old mayor staggered as he led all the citizens in the city, except for the children, towards Sheng Xiao and the others.
There were 80,000 of them.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of the Blazing Flame Pond.
After the old mayor bowed to Sheng Xiao respectfully, he stared at the entrance of the Blazing Flame Pond as he said in a low and hoarse voice, “Lord Sky Dragon, I brought all the citizens of the Ice Blazing City here to pray for Madam Yu Huang.”
“I also know that our energy is weak and might not be of much use. However, Madam Yu Huang is the savior who has brought salvation and vitality to the Ice Blazing City. Now, Madam Yu Huang is enduring immense pain and suffering. Although we can’t empathize with her, we are willing to accompany her day and night and pray for her.”
“Lord Sky Dragon, please allow it.”
The Ice Blazing City was the most barren land on the Cang Lang Continent and most of the people living in this city were civilians. The few cultivators who had awakened their beast forms were also scholars and Masters with low cultivation levels. Supreme Master big shots were the most powerful people in this city.
Even if they gathered the spiritual power of all the cultivators, they probably wouldn’t be able to help.
However, Sheng Xiao was still moved by the enthusiasm of the citizens.
“Thank you.” With that, Sheng Xiao bowed to the old man.
Nodding his head, the old man turned around and said to the citizens behind him, “Madam Yu Huang is enduring the most painful torture in the human world right now. She has brought vitality and auspicious rain to the Ice Blazing Flame City. In order to save the commoners, she was forced to separate from her family and children and is trapped in the Blazing Flame Pond alone while enduring great suffering. We are unable to share her pain, so we can only sincerely hope that she will be safe and sound.”
“Please follow me and pray for Madam Yu Huang sincerely!”
“Okay!”
Under the lead of the old mayor, the 80,000 citizens knelt on the ground.
The old mayor took out a tattered eight-foot-long musical instrument from his pocket and played it. Upon hearing the music, the citizens held hands and lowered their heads slightly as they chanted the sacrificial song in a low voice.
The sacrificial song was a song common to the three thousand worlds. It was the only ancient song that had been passed down from ancient times.
Chanting the sacrificial song could commemorate the ancestors and the phantoms of great people.
At the same time, the sacrificial song could also gather the spiritual energy scattered between heaven and earth by the fallen heroes. Then, this spiritual energy would be converted into the most mysterious energy in the world through the mourners—
The power of blessing.
The sacrificial song was sometimes tragic, sometimes impassioned, and sometimes inspiring.
After the 80,000 citizens sang the sacrificial song together, the spiritual energy aura of the ancestors on the Cang Lang Continent was summoned by them and gathered towards the Ice Blazing Flame City. Then, wisps of faint golden light were released from the bodies of the 80,000 citizens.
They took a bridge that connected the ground to the underground.
Sheng Xiao was stunned when he saw the pure energy light.
This was…
The power of blessing?
Legend had it that only a True God who was compassionate to all living beings and was loved by all living beings could summon the power of blessing. Therefore, since ancient times, experts believed that only a True God could summon the power of blessing.
From the looks of it, the person who could summon the power of blessing had never been God, but those who truly loved commoners.
Who did the commoners love?
The common people would bless whoever they loved.
The Creator favored the Bewitching Butterfly, but the commoners loved Yu Huang.
Tears welled up in Sheng Xiao’s eyes.
“Jiujiu, did you see that?”
At that moment, Yu Huang was lying in the Blazing Flame Pond with her entire body mangled. Countless majestic and domineering bloodline power was competing in her body. The tendons in her entire body were sometimes broken and sometimes recombined. The pain made Yu Huang, who was already sensitive to pain, feel even more despair.
She hoped that she would faint from the pain, but her divine sense remained clear.
She clearly sensed every bit of pain.
In her previous life, she didn’t know pain, but in this life, she was tortured by pain until she wished she was dead.
Yu Huang even thought of seeking death.
If she died, she would be relieved from the pain.
But just as this thought appeared, she dismissed it.
How could she die?!
If she died, what would happen to the three thousand worlds? What would happen to the Holy Spirit Continent?
In order to save the Holy Spirit Continent, all the experts and seniors on the continent took the initiative to self-destruct their beast forms and forsake their cultivation. If she died, the Great Dao would destroy the three thousand worlds, and the sacrifices of all the seniors would be in vain!
“I can’t die…” Yu Huang thought to herself.
She suddenly opened her eyes and sank her body into the flames while letting the endless flames wrap around her. She could only forcefully suppress the violent bloodline power in her body by absorbing the power of true fire in the Blazing Flame Pond. However, no matter how strong she was, she was still made of flesh and blood, so there were times when she felt exhausted.
As if noticing Yu Huang’s weakness, the dozens of bloodline powers that she had yet to completely refine and tame suddenly transformed into countless beast forms that rampaged through Yu Huang’s meridians. When they encountered the broken meridians, they escaped from there.
When they encountered the blocked meridian route, they wanted to kill her with the intention of perishing together.
Yu Huang’s body was surrounded by a large amount of domineering bloodline power, so many parts of her body expanded. She was like a balloon that might erupt at any time.
The wounds on her body were even larger, blood was flowing profusely, and the rotten aura was even stronger.
Yu Huang felt the threat of death.
Sensing that Yu Huang was about to collapse, the bloodline power became even more impudent and wanted to escape. However, at this moment, wisps of golden starlight suddenly surged towards the Blazing Flame Pond from the ground. They lingered around Yu Huang and quickly suppressed the chaotic bloodline power.
Then, they raised Yu Huang’s body and floated her high in the air.
The power of blessing could revive people. Naturally, it could also revive people who were about to die as well. The rotten flesh on Yu Huang’s body fell one after another, and her wounds were healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, the rotten aura that always lingered in the sky above the Ice Blazing City gradually faded.
After healing Yu Huang’s injuries, the power of blessing entered Yu Huang’s body and repaired her broken meridians.
Her meridians, which had been washed and repaired by the power of blessing, were even more indestructible than before.
Yu Huang could clearly feel the changes in her body, so she was overjoyed and stunned.
What kind of power was this?
Yu Huang suddenly felt a burning sensation in her palm.
After she opened her right palm and saw that the blue planet pattern in her palm was glowing, she teleported her consciousness to Earth. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that she was in an ancient and desolate mountain range. She was standing on the top of a mountain, and in front of her, there was a wide basin.
After countless golden blessings gathered in the plateau, the broken cylinder in the basin was quickly repaired. It became taller and thicker.
Yu Huang had to raise her head to see the end of the cylinder.
This was the legendary invincible Pillar Mountain, and it was also the Central Pagoda that connected Earth to her. The Pillar Mountain, which collapsed because of Jing Lan’s death, was quickly repaired because of the blessing of 80,000 citizens.
