Chapter 360.2: Awakening, A Terrifying Identity (8000 words)

Feng Qingya’s body was shaking more and more violently. Seeing this, Su Jingzhen grabbed her hand, and the blood and energy in his body continued to flow into Feng Qingya’s body, helping her to dispel the coldness that had contaminated her.

Feng Qingya hadn’t formed her golden core yet, so naturally, she was no match for Su Jingzhen’s power.

Su Jingzhen then protected her as they retreated continuously.

?Emotional Connection +6?

?Remaining usable points: 945?

After retreating a hundred zhang, the aura emanating from Yan Xia was no longer threatening to them.

“I never thought that Yan Xia actually had the legendary physique of the Water Spirit Saint Body.

Legend has it that every possessor of the Water Spirit Saint Body will become the supreme being in the cultivation world in the future.

It’s funny that no one in Linjiang City noticed it. She even asked us to check, but we couldn’t detect it at all. She had to rely on herself to awaken.

It’s even more ridiculous that we subconsciously didn’t believe it before.

And her cultivation of that so-called mundane martial arts, I’m afraid it’s not as simple as it appears.

Whether this is a blessing or a curse for us, it’s hard to say.”

Feng Qingya’s expression remained solemn.

Before her words could even finish, her expression suddenly changed drastically.

Because at this moment, the moisture around Yan Xia had become so dense that it condensed into a water dragon.

The water dragon roared, directly breaking through the obstruction of the branches above and soaring towards the sky.

Wherever it passed, a beam of icy blue light shot straight into the sky.

The water dragon coiled around the beam of light.

The sight was undeniably sacred.

At the end of the beam of light, the void in the sky seemed to begin to twist.

Su Jingzhen was shocked and dumbfounded.

Feng Qingya, however, took his hand and pulled him back another hundred zhang.

“Master Su, be careful!

This is a big deal.

It’s not just a matter of whether the news leaks, but whether we two can even get down the mountain alive.”

Her voice was heavy and bitter when she spoke again.

Su Jingzhen’s heart sank.

He had thought that Yan Xia might be a truly special physique, but he hadn’t expected her to be so powerful.

It was hard for him to connect the woman who had initially been sharp-tongued, who had later endured hardship and humiliation for survival, who had fought for a chance to change her fate, and who had finally become resilient and stubborn, with the sacred scene before him.

This was the true dream.

If Yan Xia had looked at him with those eyes back then, and if his Dantian hadn’t been shattered, they would probably have gotten married the first time they met.

And by now, they would probably have a child, and none of the subsequent events would have happened.

Everything was destined.

While Feng Qingya and Su Jingzhen were filled with anxiety, almost everyone outside Linjiang City saw the huge, sacred beam of light rising from Clear Wind Mountain.

They also saw the sacred water dragon coiled around the beam of light.

After being stunned, their expressions were filled with awe.

“What is that?”

“Clear Wind Mountain, has another treasure appeared on Clear Wind Mountain?

Why is it always Clear Wind Mountain?”

“Such a sacred pillar of light, such a sacred dragon, it seems that another heavenly treasure has appeared. We didn’t get any benefits from the last Clear Wind Mountain incident. The wheel of fortune has turned, this time it’s probably my turn.”

“Hahaha, it’s better to be lucky than early. We were just about to settle down in Linjiang City when we encountered such a phenomenon on the mountain. It seems I am the chosen one of this omen!”

“…”

At this moment, countless cultivators were stunned for a moment before they were filled with ecstasy and flew towards Clear Wind Mountain on their flying instruments.

Meanwhile, in a plain courtyard in Linjiang City’s Tingyu Lane, Yan Chixiong and his wife looked towards Clear Wind Mountain, their eyes instantly welling up with tears.

“This omen, this omen, it’s Xia’er!

That senior had told us that the day Xia’er’s physique awakens, there would be such an omen.

Now she has finally succeeded, and our mission is also complete.”

“My wife, quickly, let’s leave Linjiang City!

That senior said that as long as Xia’er’s physique awakens, we must leave immediately and make sure no one knows about our connection to Xia’er.

Otherwise, there will be a fatal danger!”

Yan Chixiong’s body trembled with excitement.

He added, “Although Xia’er is not our biological child, we have raised her for almost twenty years, and we will have our own means to find her when she becomes powerful.

This temporary separation is just to reunite better in the future, my wife, don’t be sad, let’s act quickly.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Chixiong paced around the courtyard like an ant on a hot pot. After packing everything that needed to be packed, he hurriedly took his wife and, taking advantage of the chaos among the cultivators of Linjiang City, fled the city in a hurry.

No one would notice these two Qi Refining cultivators who were barely at the threshold.

Over the years, Yan Chixiong and his wife, as the lowest level cultivators in Linjiang City, had always lived cautiously and kept a low profile.

They had even reached the peak of their cultivation, but they didn’t dare to take any risks or have more children.

The fundamental reason was that nearly twenty years ago, a top-tier expert whose aura alone was enough to make them tremble, had brought the infant Yan Xia to them.

After giving them instructions, he also left a mark in their bodies, it was said to be able to control their lives and deaths.

Yan Xia’s sudden arrival changed the trajectory of their lives.

They were already at the bottom, and because of Yan Xia, their lives were destined to be even more humble.

And they had no way to resist all this. As low-level cultivators, they were busy with their daily lives, and their lives were ultimately just about survival.

This was also the fundamental reason why Yan Chixiong and his wife never gave up on Yan Xia even though she had failed to awaken her spiritual roots many times.

Because the expert had also said that Yan Xia’s spiritual roots should be awakened as much as possible in the Spirit Awakening Tower.

If the Spirit Awakening Tower couldn’t awaken her, then Yan Chixiong should do everything he could to help her awaken.

But the expert only left these instructions and no other substantial gifts. As a low-level cultivator, what good methods did Yan Chixiong have?

Besides making her participate in the Spirit Awakening ceremony every year, they could only let Yan Xia try body refinement methods.

However, without exception, they all failed.

The expert had also said that only when they were at their wit’s end and had no other choice could they use special techniques as a supplement.

So Yan Xia’s cultivation of that mundane martial arts technique, which she thought was just an ordinary martial art, was a secret technique actually left behind by that expert.

Since Yan Xia was left at Evil Moon Sect, they could no longer take care of her, and they dared not tell anyone about this secret, they could only pray every day.

And today, they were finally able to be relieved.

Sometimes, the cultivation world was like this, seemingly low-level cultivators might be hiding a shocking secret.

To get back to the point, when Yan Chixiong and his wife fled Linjiang City, almost all Foundation Establishment cultivators within the Linjiang City’s range also flocked towards Clear Wind Mountain.

Shen Yifeng was the first to notice.

He was already standing beside Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya.

Luo Yuebai was in seclusion, but she also forcibly broke through her seclusion.

Fortunately, her cultivation had also broken through, and her aura was stronger than yesterday.

In Su Jingzhen’s view, Luo Yuebai’s cultivation might have broken through to the second layer of the Golden Core.

Luo Yuebai naturally walked to Su Jingzhen’s side, looking at Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya standing so close together, her expression was a little puzzled and her eyebrows were slightly raised.

When she saw the icy blue beam of light in front of her, Luo Yuebai was even more puzzled.

Su Jingzhen did not hide anything from Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng, and before they could ask, he immediately told them about Yan Xia.

“Water Spirit Saint Body, that girl really has a special physique!

No wonder when this old man personally investigated I didn’t notice anything special about her.

With this kind of legendary physique, it’s not surprising.”

Shen Yifeng sighed with emotion, then his expression suddenly became serious.

“Grandfather, what should we do now?”

Luo Yuebai looked at Shen Yifeng, Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya also looked over.

They had no experience with this kind of situation.

Shen Yifeng shook his head: “Looking at the situation, her Water Spirit Saint Body should have completely awakened.

What to do, it’s not something we can decide.

Today, whether we can safely go down the mountain depends on that girl’s intentions.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat, Feng Qingya had also said something similar before.

Just as Shen Yifeng’s words fell, dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators who had come from Linjiang City also arrived.

These guys all came here with grand ambitions, but when they arrived, they found they couldn’t even get close to the pillar of light.

Even a mile away, they were already struggling to withstand the oppressive aura and chilling air emanating from it.

Su Jingzhen and his group ignored the newcomers. Their gazes turned serious as they focused on the scene before them.

At the end of the towering ice-blue light pillar, they saw the void twisting.

A sacred and immensely powerful aura emerged from the distorted void.

It quickly solidified into a majestic black warship.

The pressure emanating from the warship made Su Jingzhen and the others gasp for air.

In the next moment, two squads of heavily armored warriors descended from the ship.

There were over a hundred of these warriors, and each one seemed to be stronger than Shen Yifeng!

They all walked in mid-air!

In other words, these people were at least at the Soul Formation stage!

Everyone’s expressions were filled with shock. Su Jingzhen, under Shen Yifeng’s lead, retreated several miles further.

But at this moment, they all faintly sensed an invisible presence locking onto them.

No matter how far they retreated, it was futile.

In the center of the warriors, a woman in a palace dress, with an elegant yet icy demeanor, stepped forward.

Her gaze was fixed on the bottom of the light pillar, her expression filled with respect.

Her aura was not fully revealed, but a faint pressure emanated from her.

She merely glanced at the dense forest below.

The previous hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators instantly lost their ability to fly, plummeting into the forest below and landing with a thud.

Shen Yifeng and the others, understanding the situation, willingly deactivated their flying instruments and stood on the canopy of the trees in the forest.

The opponent’s display of force was too overwhelming; even Shen Yifeng didn’t dare to provoke them.

To their astonishment, the seemingly noble woman knelt down in the void.

As soon as the woman knelt, the two rows of warriors also knelt with their spears pointed towards the sky.

This was a gesture of kneeling in welcome!

At the same time they knelt, the water dragon coiled around the ice-blue light pillar let out a high-pitched dragon roar.

Then, ice-blue petals rained down from the pillar.

Su Jingzhen and the others were once again shocked to see Yan Xia, who was at the center of the light pillar, slowly rising towards the sky.

Her aura had undergone a drastic change in this short time of awakening.

If Yan Xia, who served as a maidservant in Su Jingzhen’s courtyard before, could only be described as having a decent appearance and temperament, she was now radiating an aura of nobility and sanctity that was impossible to look at directly.

The difference between Yan Xia before and after the awakening of her Water Spirit Saint Body was truly astounding.

It wasn’t simply a case of a sparrow turning into a phoenix.

Soon, Yan Xia arrived in the center of the warriors.

“Welcome back, Miss!”

“Welcome back, Miss!”

“…”

The unison of these welcoming voices sent another shockwave through Su Jingzhen and the others.

After Yan Xia gave them a slight nod, Su Jingzhen and the rest felt a tremor of fear.

A sharp killing intent descended from the sky, targeting everyone below!

A wave of fear washed over them.

At that moment, they heard Yan Xia’s voice echoing from above.

“Cease your insolence!

My awakening is inseparable from the help of those below. They are all my friends.”

As soon as she spoke, the killing intent vanished completely.

Awakening her body, Yan Xia seemed to have inherited some memories of her past.

She was now crystal clear about her true identity.

“Miss, please return to the clan with us!”

Even though she had withdrawn the killing intent, the woman in the palace dress still didn’t look at Su Jingzhen and the others directly.

Perhaps in their eyes, these cultivators from Qingzhou were no different from barbarians.

They didn’t deserve to be considered friends of their Miss.

Even though they knew that their Miss might have had a humble status before her awakening, after awakening, she belonged to a different world altogether and shouldn’t have any further interactions with these locals.

The woman respectfully addressed Yan Xia once more. Yan Xia glanced back at Su Jingzhen and the others below, then nodded impassively.

She followed the woman in the palace dress into the warship.

At the same time, a voice suddenly echoed in Su Jingzhen’s ear.

“Thank you for your help, Master Su.

Rest assured, Master Su, Yan Xia made a Heavenly Oath to be loyal to Master Su alone.

However, this loyalty may only be fulfilled when Master Su can reach Yan Xia on his own one day.

The reason why I am here is because of the Luohe Yan Clan!”

As Yan Xia’s voice faded away in Su Jingzhen’s mind, the warship disappeared into the distorted void, leaving no trace.

Even the ice-blue pillar of light and the water dragon atop it vanished as if they had never existed.

If it weren’t for the lingering moisture in the forest, everyone would have thought it was all a hallucination.

Su Jingzhen stood there, his expression dazed.

A smile then curled up at the corner of his lips.

Yan Xia might have left, but it seemed Su Jingzhen had become the biggest winner of this whole affair.

And the words Yan Xia had spoken to him at the end weren’t just a figment of his imagination.

The help Yan Xia could offer him seemed to be far more terrifying than he had initially anticipated.

Her true identity was something Su Jingzhen couldn’t even dare to think about at this point.

He thought to himself, “Fortunately, Yan Xia had proactively made a Heavenly Oath before.”

Even the bigwigs who stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world wouldn’t dare to easily violate a Heavenly Oath.

Of course, he also knew that this might be because Yan Xia was truly grateful for his help.

After all, regardless of Yan Xia’s true identity, without Su Jingzhen’s protection during this time, she would have probably died countless times already.

After all, a non-awakened Saint Body was essentially a useless body.

A fallen genius was just a waste.

The way of heaven was clear, this was cause and effect.

Therefore, Yan Xia’s loyalty to Su Jingzhen at this moment was in line with the cycle of cause and effect, and there was no question of willingness or unwillingness.

This was what Yan Xia owed him.

And as someone with the system, Su Jingzhen wouldn’t feel burdened by this karmic debt.

Su Jingzhen then sighed with emotion, “But now it is the same as Miss Shuang Jiang.

If I want to enjoy the convenience brought by this loyalty, I’ll have to reach her side, to that Yan Clan.

Ultimately, my strength is still lacking.”
