The Fallen Consort - Volume 1 Chapter 188 Breaking Two Seals 3
Although they felt like the two can’t stay together, King Jin and Muxin had to set aside their differences. Yi Ling needed to go inside the Blue Rose Palace. Since the seals are on her soul, it was the best way to unlock it when she’s inside the Sapphire Jade Ring.
As King Jin’s suggestion, Ye Fang and Qianru were left outside to take care of Yi Ling’s body. Of course, King Jin and Muxin also coordinated to make sure that Yi Ling would be safe. Muxin set up a barrier around the cave while King Jin set up traps and detectors outside the cave. If an enemy tries to come in, King Jin could always get out and handle it. Well, only when Yi Ling’s subordinates couldn’t handle it.
When Yi Ling got inside the Blue Rose Palace, she instantly went to her courtyard. Muxin had already explained to her how to do it and he was willing to guide her during the process. Since Muxin had already offered his services, King Jin didn’t bother the two. His main task was making sure that Yi Ling would be fine, Body and Soul.
I took 3 days for Yi Ling and Muxin to finally finished concocting the Pills. This time, Yi Ling had burned a lot of herbs to be able to make this Soul Unbinding Pills. Aside from resting and eating, Yi Ling poured all her energy to make it. She was also thankful for her husband/s, in this situation. One was actively guiding her while the other one was keeping her safe. How lucky could she be? She giggled.
When the Pills were finally formed, a weird phenomenon formed in the sky above the cave. Ye Fang instantly felt it and went outside to look. A huge brewing of dark clouds stood on top of the cave.
“This is not good.” He whispered to himself. “Qianru! Alert that man! If this continues, a lot of high ranking spiritual beasts would swarm this area!”
Hearing the panic in Ye Fang’s voice, Qianru instantly sent herself inside the ring. “King Jin!” She shouted at the man sitting next to the Eternal Oak. His eyes were closed.
“What it is?” King Jin instantly opened his eyes, showing his dark purple eyes. He had been feeling weaker and weaker the longer he stayed here in Huaxia. It was either that or …
Bringing his thoughts back, he heard Qianru’s panic voice. “A large dark cloud is brewing outside. By the looks of it, its a lightning tribulation. Ye Fang said that large high ranking spiritual beasts would swarm this area if this continues.”
“Tribulation?” He then looked toward’s the East Wing of the Blue Rose Palace. “She must’ve succeeded. It’s fine. Tell Ye Fang to stay on guard. We can’t afford to move now. She has to ascend now.”
“Ascend? Master is ascending?!” Qianru’s eyes enlarging. She followed King Jin’s view, looking towards the East Wing Courtyard.
Just as she was wondering what was happening, she heard her Master’s loud voice.
“Brother Jin! I’m ready!” Yi Ling ran and arrived in front of him.
Seeing her haggardly appearance and yet the joy in her eyes didn’t dim one bit. She still looks beautiful no matter what. “En. You need to ascend first before taking that. Let’s go.” King Jin pulled Yi Ling’s hand after tucking her hair behind her ear.
“Ascend?” Before she could even ask, Yi Ling’s soul was brought back into her body.
Qianru stood speechless as to what happened.
“Go and protect her,” Muxin whispered behind her.
Qianru turns to see Muxin’s solemn look. She didn’t even notice when he had arrived. She cupped her fist and left.
Muxin stood next to the tree and sighed. From silver hair to white. Now, his white hair was even looking more dead. No longer felt vibrant and full. His once blue eyes had turned into a grey. Losing its color and energy.
Luckily, he was only a soul. A fragmented soul and memory of his real body. If Muxin had a real body, he would then be vomiting blood and losing his strength. It was getting worse. He could feel his soul being unstable. He needed to fuse his soul back to his body soon or else.
It looks like he needed to have a deep talk with his body. Now that Yi Ling is ascending, only King Jin would be able to help her open the Heavenly Gate. She wasn’t that strong yet. Muxin remembered how Yi Ling almost died on her 1st reincarnation after opening the Heavenly Gates.
Only by entering Heaven would he had the chance to fuse his soul back into his body. That is, by helping Yi Ling unlocking all her seals. Staying on Huaxia wouldn’t help her anymore. There wasn’t enough spiritual energy in the air.
“Ling’er…” Muxin whispered softly. One could feel that Muxin didn’t look like he could last longer.
——
“I’ll help you open the gates. Call back all your contracted beasts and herbs. There’s no time to waste. Or else, they will be stuck here for a while.” King Jin kissed her forehead before going outside.
Yi Ling flushed and bit her lips. She inhaled deeply and then followed his instructions. Inside her mind, she recalled all her contracted subordinates. Forcing them to instantly disappear from the Blue Rose Sect.
One by one, they disappeared. One was in a middle of teaching, while one was in combat practice and so on. They were all surrounded by people and yet they disappeared instantly. Causing a big commotion inside the Sect.
On the other hand, Linyu, Tefei, and Haoran kneeled in front of Yi Ling. “Master!”
“En. Sorry for the abrupt call. I suddenly found myself ascending. Looks like we have to leave Huaxia now.”
“Yes, Master!” Linyu and Tefei replied before standing up. Only Haoran was puzzled and shocked. No one had been able to ascend for quite millions of years!!! How could this be?!
