Chapter 2257
"This..." Xia Jiuyou was so shocked that she immediately leaned closer, almost touching the river in Chen Xuan's palm. Her watery eyes were filled with shock and curiosity. "Chen Xuan, you... how do you have an entire River of the Underworld? And it's an inanimate object?"
She examined the river closely, her tone full of confusion: "My God, such a complete Yellow Spring River should have developed its own consciousness long ago and used its innate resources to cultivate immortality. How can it be completely devoid of life?"
Although Xia Jiuyou was knowledgeable, he was not a person from the ancient immortal era. He could neither see that the Yellow Spring River was a primordial object born innately, nor could he understand why it was devoid of life.
Chen Xuan stared at the Yellow Springs River flowing slowly in his palm, his gaze gradually becoming distant and solemn, his voice low and sighing:
"This is one of my benefactors, or perhaps you could call her my master. She was originally a true immortal, but for me and for my Longxia clan, she exhausted her last bit of divine soul, and in the end, her soul was scattered. This is the true form she left behind after her death."
"What?" Xia Jiuyou looked up abruptly, staring at Chen Xuan in shock, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
"A special life form recorded in immortal classics? You actually had such an extraordinary encounter? And such a powerful being would actually be willing to sacrifice their soul to help you?"
Chen Xuan's gaze grew increasingly distant, as if piercing through the starry sky and looking towards the distant past:
"Yes, I owe her, my Longxia clan owes her. So I can't stop. When I'm strong enough, maybe I can use my own strength to reverse time and bring her back."
Xia Jiuyou quietly looked at Chen Xuan's profile. Starlight shone on his face, outlining his resolute features.
She knew in her heart that this secret was probably known even to a few of Chen Xuan's many Daoist partners. His honesty with her was already the ultimate expression of trust.
"Although I can't fully empathize, I support you." Xia Jiuyou leaned gently on Chen Xuan's shoulder, her gaze fixed on the mysterious Yellow Spring River, and asked softly, "So, what do you plan to do with this Yellow Spring body that shows no signs of life?"
Chen Xuan frowned slightly, his tone hesitant: "If I refine her true form into the sword diagram of the Beiming Sword, and then resurrect her in the future, will she be angry with me?"
Xia Jiuyou couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this, and gently tapped Chen Xuan's forehead with her hand:
"Celestial Immortal, True Immortal, Immortal King, and then the Fourth-Step Dao Lord, each step of the Fourth-Step Dao Lord is a matter of life and death. After that, there is the ultimate tribulation of eternal union with the Dao. You, a mere Void Reversal Realm cultivator, are thinking about all this nonsense?"
She scolded playfully, "Without great strength and a suitable divine weapon, how did you manage to cultivate to the peak of the Fourth Step Life and Death Dao Lord? How did you manage to reverse time and resurrect her, achieving eternal Dao integration?"
At this moment, not only was Xia Jiuyou enlightening Chen Xuan, but even the little tower in his mind couldn't help but speak up, secretly cursing him for being too much of a perfectionist and putting the cart before the horse.
Chen Xuan suddenly realized his mistake and nodded with a wry smile: "Those involved are often blinded by their own perspective; it does seem a bit naive."
He took a deep breath, his eyes hardening with unwavering resolve, and solemnly whispered to the River of the Underworld in his palm:
"Biluo, one day I will borrow your true form to transform into the Yellow Spring Sword Diagram of my Beiming Sword. Join me in conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Four Seas and Eight Desolations. When I achieve the Dao, we will surely meet again."
As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly became calm and steady, as if he had made up his mind.
“That’s more like it.” Xia Jiuyou smiled and leaned closer, a hint of slyness in her eyes, and asked meaningfully, “Biluo? Her name is Biluo?”
Chen Xuan saw through her thoughts at a glance, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "She is very beautiful and has a lot of charm. As the first True Immortal to tell me about the whole universe, the impression she left on me is unparalleled by anyone else."
"(ˉ▽￣～)Tch~~, who asked that? You're just being presumptuous." Xia Jiuyou abruptly turned her head away, snorted softly, but her fingertips couldn't help but lightly touch the surface of the Yellow Springs River. She felt a warm, gentle force of the Great Dao of Water flowing through her, making her feel comfortable all over.
"Among the major paths you cultivate, there seems to be a Water Path, right?" Upon seeing this, a hint of understanding flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes.
"What? You want to borrow it for some study?" Xia Jiuyou looked up, her tone slightly probing.
"This is a true innate treasure, a complete original body naturally left behind by a special life form after its death. I'm afraid you can't find another one like it in the entire Flame Dragon Realm."
Although she was tempted, she knew the value of this treasure and dared not have too much hope.
"Take it and study it." Chen Xuan handed the Yellow Springs River in his palm to Xia Jiuyou without hesitation, his tone calm but with an undeniable sincerity. "You can return it to me after I transcend my tribulation and become an immortal."
Xia Jiuyou was completely stunned, staring at Chen Xuan in disbelief. Seeing his clear eyes and no hint of amusement, she was filled with shock: "This special life form is a supreme treasure, and you're lending it to me so easily?"
Seeing this, Chen Xuan shook his head and smiled slightly, reached out and lifted her chin, then lowered his head to gently kiss her soft red lips, his tone gentle yet incredibly firm: "In my eyes, no treasure can compare to the person beside me. Qiu Zixian is like that, and so are you, understand?"
Xia Jiuyou had cultivated for thousands of years and was once the high and mighty, inviolable Holy Maiden of Jiuyou. She had never been involved in romantic love, nor had she ever felt such unreserved warmth and trust.
Looking into Chen Xuan's eyes and listening to his heartfelt words, she finally understood why Lu Xueqi, Qiu Zixian, and the others were so devoted to him.
Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look Chen Xuan in the eye. Her voice was barely audible: "Aren't you...aren't you afraid that I won't be able to resist taking this River of the Underworld for myself?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, gently stroking her chin with his fingertips, and smiled, "If that's the case, you will lose me forever."
"(ˉ▽￣～)Tch~~, for such a treasure nurtured by heaven and earth, losing it is nothing, who cares about you?" Xia Jiuyou abruptly turned her head away, pursed her lips and snorted softly, but couldn't hide the blush on her ears.
"At worst, I'll use this treasure to enhance my strength until I surpass you, then I'll suppress you and see how you resist me then, hmph."
