Chapter 912 - 432: Ready to Set Out; Bodhi Alchemy

In the next room.

Chen Ye pushed open the door and smelled a faint scent of blood, assuming it’s Tuoba You’s injuries flaring up again.

This person was previously attacked by a Fake Pill spawn, with a sixth-layer cultivation, surviving was already a miracle.

Upon hearing footsteps, Tuoba You struggled to open his eyes, his gaze was cloudy, probably not yet clear on the current situation.

It’s only logical for him to be unclear about the situation.

Before he fell unconscious, he was still attacked by a spawn deep in Celestial Abyss twenty-three years ago.

Yet now he woke up in a spacious and bright guest room.

Chen Ye even thought wickedly, Tuoba You might think he had fallen into another layer of the world.

"Is it you... Qing Xuan?"

Tuoba You’s voice was hoarse, somewhat surprised, he forced himself to sit up from the bed, rubbing his head,

"Why is it you? Have we... returned?"

As Chen Ye thought, Tuoba You’s mind was muddled, unable to comprehend the situation.

"Lord Tuoba, you’ve finally awoken. I thought... I thought you wouldn’t make it this time."

Chen Ye sighed, as if genuinely worried for Tuoba You.

At this moment, he still had Qing Xuan’s appearance.

It must be said, Chen Ye’s disguise techniques were already perfect.

He did not crudely mold a fake face using magic but rather followed his original bone structure and flesh to age himself naturally, then finely modified.

As such, the entire face seemed naturally carved by time, flawlessly blended, devoid of any magic traces.

With such advanced techniques, not to mention the severely injured Tuoba You before him, even a Golden Core True Man might only sense something odd with his suppressed cultivation with keen intuition, but would absolutely not detect anything wrong with this weathered face.

This was one of the reasons for Chen Ye’s confidence in entering the Emotion Crossing Sect.

Tuoba You breathed heavily, warily staring at Chen Ye:

"What exactly happened? That Fake Pill spawn... how did I get out?"

"Lord, you may not know!"

Chen Ye slapped his thigh, vividly fabricating,

"At that time the spawn’s ferocity was immense, I thought my three disciples and I were doomed. Yet unexpectedly, there was a massive collapse deep in Celestial Abyss, the ground shook, and that spawn was unexpectedly struck by falling boulders, frightened, and fled without a care!"

"Deep in Celestial Abyss indeed connects to the present. Seeing you severely injured and unconscious, thinking you are a Guardian of the Holy Sect, I risked my old life to bring you out, right? So I brought my disciples along and escorted you back to Chouyun Pass."

Tuoba You listened, brows furrowed, as if discerning the truth.

He took a deep breath, silently circulating his remaining spiritual power.

His meridians were depleted and the injuries were severe, but he shockingly found not only residual medicinal power to sustain life within his body, the key was, he sensed the Unity Seal he once planted.

The connection was still present!

This Qing Xuan before him was still firmly under his control!

Confirming this, Tuoba You’s tense nerves relaxed.

A Loose Cultivator marked with the Unity Seal wouldn’t dare harm him even with borrowed courage.

It seems, what this person said is all true, he indeed survived by chance, encountering the collapse of Celestial Abyss.

"Fellow Daoist Qing Xuan, this time... I owe it to you."

Tuoba You’s tone softened considerably, he waved his hand,

"You don’t need to flatter me beyond your means anymore. Among Loose Cultivators, those who cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage, which one is not extraordinary? No need to say insincere words."

"In the Cultivation Realm, it’s always the capable first, strength revered. My cultivation is higher than yours, and you’ve saved my life in this desperate situation, it’s a bond beyond life. From now on, you can call me Tuoba as a brother."

"If this time you enter the sect with me, we will be fellow disciples and should take care of each other."

While in Celestial Abyss,

Tuoba You mentioned that exceptional performers on this journey could enter the Holy Sect.

And for Qing Xuan, expending effort to save him was likely for the qualification to join the Holy Sect.

"This... Thank you, Brother Tuoba, for your support."

Seeing Tuoba You’s words were sincere, Chen Ye climbed up the pole.

This time he had gained Tuoba You’s trust, with his endorsement, he’d be at ease within the Emotion Crossing Sect.

If he remembered correctly,

Tuoba You came from an extraordinary background, a descendant of the Tuoba family.

The Tuoba family in the Emotion Crossing Sect held a status equivalent to that of the Bai and Zhao families, with two True Men from the Tuoba family, it was practically world-controlling.

Seeing him behave so tactfully, Tuoba You was quite satisfied.

His injuries were extremely severe now, wishing to return safely to the sect, he’d depend on this capable Qing Xuan.

To appease this reliable guard, Tuoba You lowered his voice and solemnly emphasized:

"Brother Qing Xuan, I know you have some grievances for being marked with the Unity Seal earlier, fearing future subjugation. But you really don’t need to mind this Emotion Crossing Seed."

"Emotion Crossing Seed?" Chen Ye hesitated.

"Indeed, the Unity Seal is just how it’s called to you, in truth it’s named Emotion Crossing Seed."

Tuoba You sighed, seemingly confiding, openly shared,

"To be honest, all in my sect, who hasn’t been marked with the Emotion Crossing Seed? It’s nothing unusual in the Holy Sect. Do you think just because I’m a Guardian I can be an exception? My body also contains an Emotion Crossing Seed."

Seeing Qing Xuan’s slightly dazed look, Tuoba You continued comforting:

"It’s the rule of the Holy Sect. Once back in the sect, then, the Emotion Crossing Seed you have which I planted, will be turned over for the sect to directly control! Only under sect control, can you truly clear external suspicions and step into the core level of the Holy Sect. This is a monumental opportunity!"
