**Chapter 515: Fiery Sun Spiritual Root**
The bl**d of the Golden Crow fused with Yun Zhonghe’s spiritual root in no time, thanks to Yun Zhonghe’s lively yang energy making the merging a piece of cake.
Most people couldn’t withstand the overwhelming energy of Golden Crow’s bl**d.
Slowly, a feeling of familiarity radiated from Yun Zhonghe, and the Demon Sovereign realized that they had completely absorbed the Golden Crow’s bl**d.
The original spiritual root underwent an unprecedented transformation, and if the Demon Sovereign’s guess was correct, it should evolve into the Fiery Sun Spiritual Root.
This root was anything but ordinary.
Super strong!
And certified strong by the Demon Sovereign herself!
“After all, it fused with an entire vial of my Golden Crow’s bl**d—how could it possibly be weak?”
A Golden Crow contains at most about ten drops of pure bl**d. The Demon Sovereign had just given Yun Zhonghe at least twenty to thirty drops.
If she fed more, who knows? Yun Zhonghe’s bloodline might change, and she could turn into a humanoid Golden Crow!
At this moment, the Fiery Sun Spiritual Root could simultaneously absorb both fire and gold spiritual energies. Though they are two contradictory energies, under the Fiery Sun Spiritual Root’s influence, they could achieve perfect fusion, birthing fiery sun spiritual power.
It possessed the devastating force of gold and the raging intensity of fire, plus it made full use of Yun Zhonghe’s yang advantages—talk about a triple upgrade!
Fiery sun spiritual power, while not the ultimate attribute, outshone it instead, conveniently dissolving the Extreme Cold that had been troubling Yun Zhonghe for quite some time!
The ice melted away at last.
His meridians, washed by the fiery sun spiritual power, became much tougher, making his qualifications seem like a world apart from before.
The Demon Sovereign withdrew her spiritual energy, leading to Yun Zhonghe’s body suddenly rolling into the hot spring, instantly vacuuming all the fire spiritual energy and leaving it dry.
The Demon Sovereign: “…”
So much for my hot spring!
Noticing that the spring’s temperature was dropping, the Demon Sovereign shook her head and fished Yun Zhonghe out of the water.
Two unclothed bodies were huddled together in a rather intimate scene that could be described as ambiguous at best.
If Mu Jixue and the other girls caught a glimpse, it would surely lead to a chaotic showdown.
But then again, she was the Demon Sovereign—probably not much that could threaten her.
With a flick of her delicate hand, the clothes Yun Zhonghe had shed earlier floated over and dressed her effortlessly.
The spiritual spring was now wasted, completely absorbed by Yun Zhonghe, and she lost her mood for a bath, so she simply hugged Yun Zhonghe and headed home.
Yet, her mood seemed quite alright; perhaps she felt she had obtained a more interesting plaything!
……
In the Human Domain, Eastern Continent’s Xuantian Sect.
Three days had already passed, and Yun Zhonghe and Su Xiaoxiao were still missing. Mu Jixue and the others were extremely anxious.
Especially Tao Jiu’er, who witnessed Yun Zhonghe being taken away right before her eyes. She felt a hot wave of frustration simmering inside her.
During those days, Tao Jiu’er wore a frigid expression, and no one dared to approach her.
That black shadow recognized her and called her “Peach Blossom.”
Tao Jiu’er faintly sensed her past had some link with this person.
But when it came to her past, especially before arriving at the Yun family, her memories were hazy, just a few fleeting impressions.
“Is Jiu’er okay…”
“She’ll be fine as long as Yun Zhonghe comes back.”
Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu were also worried. While Tao Jiu’er was in a bad state, they took it upon themselves to take care of Chen Leling.
Through these three days, they each tried their own ways to find Yun Zhonghe and Su Xiaoxiao. Qin Hongye and Xia Linglong helped, and even Little Fox Hu Shang, who was on her way home, immediately turned back when she caught wind of Yun Zhonghe’s abduction.
Let’s be honest, while these girls might have some minor scratches with each other on regular days, during tough times like this, they were remarkably united.
You see, after the battle of good versus evil, both Xuantian Mansion and Xuantian Sect suffered significant losses. Anyone who could move was busy cleaning up the battlefield and restoring their sects.
Xuantian Mansion and Xuantian Sect were running low on manpower. Even several powerful cultivators, including Qin Wushuang, were still in closed-door training, while Master Youyue hadn’t even left the Immortal Ascension Platform yet, forced to activate her profound abilities right after finally mastering the path of the moon. Talk about pressure!
At this point, it was clear no one could help Mu Jixue!
But even so, the girls showed off their skills and managed to find a way to look for Yun Zhonghe.
Remember that teleportation symbol Mu Jixue gave to Yun Zhonghe back in Qingzhu Town? It still wouldn’t work to teleport Mu Jixue to Yun Zhonghe’s side, but through some special means, they could confirm Yun Zhonghe’s location using the one in Mu Jixue’s possession.
After putting in a lot of effort, they finally pinpointed Yun Zhonghe’s whereabouts— the Demon Domain!
Good news, they confirmed where Yun Zhonghe was!
Bad news, they couldn’t get there!
There was a significant barrier between the Human Domain and the Demon Domain, a much stronger barrier than that between continents—almost impossible to cross.
Everyone’s spirits sank at that moment.
If they were in the Human Domain, they would certainly rush to Yun Zhonghe’s side, no matter the distance.
But in the Demon Domain? They were completely powerless.
A wave of despair washed over everyone’s hearts…
……
When Yun Zhonghe woke up, she felt wonderfully warm, as if she had an endless supply of strength within her.
Logically, though her cultivation level was still sealed, and she didn’t have much spiritual energy, she felt unexpectedly relaxed and energetic.
What exactly happened to me…?
Yun Zhonghe opened her eyes and saw the scenery around her was vastly different from before she fainted. She quickly sat up to assess the situation.
Where am I now?
Beneath her was a soft bed that radiated a familiar fragrance, and the room’s layout seemed vaguely recognizable.
That scent—it was just like the one on the Demon Sovereign!
Yun Zhonghe blinked in confusion, feeling a bit dazed.
“Awake, are we?”
A lazy voice snapped her back to reality. Yun Zhonghe turned to find the Demon Sovereign reclining on a chaise.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her body momentarily tensed up.
The Demon Sovereign was casually reading an ancient text, her profile exquisite and delicate, her skin glimmering like jade, exuding a soft sheen.
She was dressed in a loose, airy robe, the neckline open to reveal a tantalizing stretch of smooth, pale skin.
With her eyes slightly downcast, her long lashes curled gracefully, looking relaxed and delightful. As she read, she seemed less like the fierce and intimidating figure usually known and more like a serene, elegant beauty.
“Demon… Sovereign?”
Yun Zhonghe stared wide-eyed, a flutter of emotions stirring within her.
For some inexplicable reason, the warmth inside her intensified.
“How much longer do you plan to sleep on my bed?”
The Demon Sovereign didn’t look at Yun Zhonghe and continued to focus on her book, the sound of pages turning filling the room.
Yun Zhonghe was utterly dumbfounded.
This is… the Demon Sovereign’s bed?
