Chapter 457 Critical Situation
Lin Xuan could be considered to be in a critical situation at this moment. His spirit meridians were corroded very quickly. If he did not replenish his spiritual qi in time, he would probably not be able to be saved in a critical situation.
Even an ancestor like Lin Qingtian had never seen anything that could corrode a cultivator’s spiritual qi.
“If we don’t eliminate this corrosive power in time, it’s useless no matter how much spiritual qi we replenish! Maintaining the spiritual qi now is only a temporary solution,” Ancestor Lin Feng said worriedly.
“If it can’t be cured, Xuan’er’s spirit meridians will still be destroyed in the end. This situation is not optimistic!”
When the surrounding cultivators heard this, they all looked at Lin Xuan with worried gazes. Their Lin family’s Saint Child had encountered many tribulations along the way. Just the spirit meridians was a huge trial for him.
Last time, his spirit meridians were damaged. At that time, they had yet to reach the Xiang Sea. Now, the problem was even more serious. This was not something that could be endured by the Saint Child alone!
If they could not think of anything, they did not have to go to the Central Yan Continent. They could only bring the Saint Child back to the Northern Azure Continent.
“This seems to work. Let’s try it first!” Lin Qingtian found a very unorthodox Spirit Gathering Formation. This array formation might work.
After he finished speaking, he formed a spiritual seal with one hand. Spiritual qi rose from his body, and ancient Dao patterns overlapped layer by layer, forming a complicated pattern.
Suddenly, spiritual qi erupted, and white light flourished. The Spirit Gathering Formation was beginning to take effect.
“It seems to be a little useful. Spiritual qi is surging into the Saint Child’s spirit meridians.”
When Lin Bao saw this, he retracted a portion of his spiritual qi and began to focus on repairing Lin Xuan’s spirit meridians.
However, even so, the current situation was not optimistic.
“This thing is rather tricky and troublesome. I’ve actually never seen it in my life. How did Xuan’er provoke this thing?”
They had not seen this thing in the void illusion, nor had they even seen it.
It could not be that this thing was specially targeted at Xuan’er!
Lin Bao thought worriedly as he focused on repairing Lin Xuan’s spirit meridians.
However, just as he thought, this was really targeted at Lin Xuan.
Below the Xiang Sea and above it were two different worlds. The bottom of the sea was the territory of the deep sea spiritual beasts, and the land belonged to cultivators.
For thousands of years, they had never interacted. The cultivators of the few continents only knew that the danger level of the Xiang Sea was comparable to the Southern Desolate Mystic Realm, so ordinary people would not easily step foot in it. The world did not know much about the strange beasts under the Xiang Sea.
They only knew that the strange beasts of the Xiang Sea were dangerous and could easily kill people, but they did not know what was going on below the Xiang Sea and where these strange beasts were dangerous.
At this moment, the Lin family knew nothing about the Xiang Sea.
They thought that the previous void illusion was already the greatest danger. They did not know that this was only the beginning. The strange beast at the bottom of the sea was currently aiming at Lin Xuan.
At this moment, the sea was calm. The sun was high in the sky, but the current peace revealed a trace of abnormality. The atmosphere was so strange that the Lin family’s ancestor and cultivators did not notice it.
Their attention was all on Lin Xuan and they did not notice the surrounding situation.
At this moment, the spiritual qi around Lin Xuan crazily surged into his spirit meridians, and his expression seemed to have improved a little. He was no longer pale and bloodless.
They had completed the Spirit Gathering Formation, but on the Xiang Sea, there was a lack of spiritual qi. They could only pile the spirit stones around and let the Spirit Gathering Formation absorb the power of the spirit stones and maintain Lin Xuan’s spirit meridians.
Seeing that the situation had finally stabilized, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, “Ancestor, the Saint Child’s situation has stabilized. Then next…”
Everyone looked at Ancestor Lin Qingtian eagerly, hoping to obtain an affirmative sentence from him.
Since the situation had been stabilized, the ancestor would definitely have a way to remove the corrosive power in the Saint Child’s spirit meridians.
The Saint Child was the idol of these new disciples of the Lin family. He was even like a mental pillar. If Lin Xuan fell, most of them would fall!
Being stared at by everyone, Elder Lin shook his head, “We’ll take it one step at a time.”
After saying that, he sighed deeply. The other two ancestors were the same. Their expressions were not optimistic.
At this moment, Lin Xuan was not ignorant of the outside world. Although he could not control his body, he could still sense the information of the outside world.
It was as if his body was sleeping, but his consciousness was awake.
He could sense many people surrounding him. They came and went and were very busy.
The ancestor’s long sigh, the worried voice of the Lin family disciples, and the feeling of spiritual qi rushing into his spirit meridians and being corroded by the erosive power.
In fact, after closing his eyes, his senses became much stronger, and the changes in his surroundings became even deeper.
At this moment, he felt uneasy in the air, as if some strange danger was descending. It was as if there was a net silently approaching them.
Lin Xuan’s originally relieved mind was raised high again.
“Tsk tsk—so weak? You became like this after walking out of the Void Illusion?”
The Great Abyss Master and his servant, the Suanni, quietly appeared from nowhere. He was wearing a large black robe that hung to the ground, and the Suanni followed behind him with lowered brows. “Has your Lin family’s Saint Child been a little too weak recently?”
When he saw that no one answered him, he spoke again.
When the Lin family heard this, they glared at him as if they would fight if he said another word.
However, the Great Abyss Master did not take these people seriously. Even the Lin family’s ancestors were not worthy of his attention, let alone these new cultivators.
He completely ignored these people’s expressions and continued, “Speaking of which, this is the second time your Lin family’s Saint Child’s spirit meridians has been damaged, right?”
“If this keeps happening, it will be bad for his cultivation!”
After he finished speaking, he pretended to sigh and seemed upset, as if he felt a huge pity.
The surrounding disciples could only be angry at the Great Abyss Master but did not dare to say anything. After all, the difference in their cultivation levels was not an exaggeration.
Under the pressure of the Great Abyss Master, they were pressed to the ground and could not move.
Therefore, instead of taking the initiative to go up and find trouble, they had to endure it for a while. After everything was settled, it would be different.
However, these young disciples felt exceptionally indignant towards the Great Abyss Master’s words. The three Lin family ancestors did not take these words to heart.
After all, they had lived for thousands of years. The most important thing now was to save Lin Xuan. Everything else had to wait.
