Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Thunder Bamboo Island There was only a month before the appointed day which Ning Fan and the Six-Winged Clan had agreed.
Yue Lingkong had no choice but to stay in the secret area to treat her wounds. After she failed to achieve her breakthrough to the Mid Void Refinement Realm, the backlash was naturally not light.
As for Ning Fan, he was not that anxious to leave for the Six-Winged Clan because Yue Lingkong said that she can guarantee that Ning Fan will arrive at the Six-Winged Clan in the shortest time possible through the moon portals after she fully recovers.
Now, with her original appearance and cultivation base, Yue Lingkong seemed to have regained her confidence in the past.
Moreover, the current her even had the confidence to wipe out the Six-Winged Clan on her own.
Since her second primordial spirit was already capable of fighting against three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets on her own, her true self would naturally be even stronger.
If she really intends to kill her way into the Six-Winged Clan, that Xuan Yi would probably not be her match at all.
However, her injuries must first be healed completely and return to her peak condition.
In the secret area of the Divine Space Island, Yue Lingkong sat on a piece of large cold jade. Starlight surrounded her naked body.
Meanwhile, Ning Fan sat behind her in a meditative position while manipulating the power of the black stars, helping her treat her wounds. However, the seriousness in his eyes grew as the process went on.
Ning Fan had condensed ninety-nine natal black stars. With the strength of his star technique, even a Life Immortal Realm being who had just comprehended an ordinary star technique would not be able to rival him.
With the star power he currently had, he could completely heal injuries and fully replenish blood essence but there was still something that his star power could not accomplish.
For instance, the crack on Yue Lingkong’s primordial spirit. It could not be mended using the star power.
"Light...Danger..." The female corpse who was standing at a corner warned. She raised one of her hands and pointed at Yue Lingkong’s primordial spirit which was situated at the latter’s dantian.
Even the female corpse could notice that the condition of Yue Lingkong’s primordial spirit was far from good. It was somewhat dangerous.
Of course, Ning Fan had also noticed it. While healing Yue Lingkong’s injuries, he scolded her with a frown on his face.
"Your primordial spirit has broken apart... Yue Lingkong, I really didn’t know that you were such a bold woman in the past! Do you know how dangerous it is to have a split primordial spirit?"
"Little Cucumber! Don’t think you can criticize me as you please after helping me a few times... Argh!" Subconsciously, Yue Lingkong talked back at Ning Fan. Immediately after that, Ning Fan spanked her firm buttocks with force, causing her to cry out in pain.
A bright red palm imprint instantly emerged on the surface of her silky white buttocks... While feeling pain, a hint of embarrassment magnified infinitely within her heart.
She actually got slapped and the person who did that was Ning Fan! Furthermore, the area where she was slapped was her tender buttocks! Damn!
With Yue Lingkong’s ill-tempered personality, she would certainly chop off the adult meat stick of those who dare to spank her buttocks. If it were in the past, she would probably have started a fight with Ning Fan and risked her life to retaliate.
This time, however, Yue Lingkong actually did not strike back. After pondering carefully, it was not unreasonable for Ning Fan to be angry.
She had devoured her second primordial spirit and attempted to break through to the Mid Void Refinement Realm without considering the consequences. That was extremely risky and possibly life-threatening.
Let’s skip the danger involved in breaking through to the Mid Void Refinement Realm because no matter how severe the backlash, Ning Fan would still be able to heal her.
Devouring her second primordial spirit, however... To cultivators below the Peak Void Refinement Realm, this was extremely risky.
Now, a crack had appeared on her primordial spirit. It was a sign that her primordial spirit was about to split.
This crack was not a common injury. Thus, it could not be healed using the power of the black stars. It was the sequela left after Yue Lingkong fused her own primordial spirit with her second primordial spirit.
The technique of creating a second primordial spirit, just as its name implies, allowed a cultivator to cultivate two primordial spirits within their single dantian and the two entities were independent from each other.
There were pros and cons in having the two primordial spirits to have their very own power and independence. The advantage was that the cultivator was able to use both primordial spirits at once. Especially during a fight, it was exceptionally remarkable and incomparable. As for the disadvantage...
Yue Lingkong had been betrayed by her second primordial spirit. That was one of the disadvantages.
After experiencing her second primordial spirit’s betrayal, Yue Lingkong did not try to subdue her second primordial spirit again. Instead, she adopted a method which seemed brutal and ruthless by directly devouring her second primordial spirit, fusing it and her own primordial spirit into one.
The fusion of primordial spirits was something that could only be accomplished by Peak Void Refinement Realm experts who were on the Absolute Void Stage. Nevertheless, even cultivators of that level did not have a complete assurance of succeeding.
It could already be considered lucky that Yue Lingkong was able to merge both of her primordial spirits into one even though it was not perfect in the end. It was inevitable for a crack to be left between the two primordial spirits.
If this crack is not eliminated, Yue Lingkong would not be able to control her own magic power as she wishes.
Besides, as the crack continues to deepen and spread, Yue Lingkong’s primordial spirit would split within a single month. If that happens, her cultivation realm would regress to her previous level and it would leave a severe and irreversible wound on her own primordial spirit.
Worst case scenario, it would probably cost her her life!
Ning Fan’s eyes glinted with solemnity. The crack on her primordial spirit was indeed troublesome.
If he could not heal Yue Lingkong completely and mend the crack, she was bound to suffer grievous injuries. Then no one would activate the moon portals for him to rush to the Six-Winged Clan within a month.
Seeing Ning Fan was really displeased, Yue Lingkong only rubbed her buttocks and gritted her silver teeth. In the end, she still did not retaliate.
Detestable! How dare this Little Cucumber hit me?! If it wasn’t because of his sincere concern about me, I would definitely chop off his "cucumber" and turn it into a dressing of my salad... Fine. I will forgive him this time!"
Yue Lingkong actually suffered a loss which left her speechless this time.
After the healing process was completed, she donned her clothes. Her long, loose sleeves fluttered in the air while her waistband danced in the wind. Her moon-like eyes glowed faintly, making her look just like an immortal concubine of the ancient times or a fairy from the moon palace.
However, aside from her gentle and elegant disposition, she also had a valiant and heroic bearing.
Although her injuries had completely recovered, the problem with her primordial spirit was still unresolved. Hence, she was not able to use her magic power, much less activate the moon portals to travel across the hollow space.
Seeing Ning Fan’s brows were still tightly knitted together, not only did Yue Lingkong not retaliate against him for spanking her buttocks, she also began to behave somewhat submissively...
"Little Cucumber, don’t be angry anymore. Before I make any decisions next time, I will discuss with you first, okay?"
"Remember your own words. This matter should not be repeated! Hurry up and prepare. The matter of your primordial spirit cannot be delayed any longer. I will find a way to get you to the Six-Winged Clan within one month. It should not be difficult to help you mend your primordial spirit by borrowing the power of the Revival Platform." Ning Fan said firmly, giving no room for rejection.
"There’s no need to take on so much trouble. I know a place which has some kind of magical item that can help me mend my primordial spirit. Besides, that place is only one billion li* (500m per li) away from the Divine Space Sea Domain. With your travelling speed, it will just take ten days for us to arrive on that island. Once I regain my peak, I will then open the moon portals and guide you through the hollow space. Arriving at the Six-Winged Clan is just a matter of a few blinks. There is barely anyone below the Void Fragmentation Realm who can catch up with the speed of my moon portal! As for the Revival Platform, leave it for ’your woman’ to use. Her Sea of Consciousness has yet to recover. Her condition is more pitiful than mine..."
Yue Lingkong shifted her gaze to the female corpse and her eyes were filled with a hint of pity. Anyhow, she had been spending quite some time with the female corpse and both of them had been through life-and-death situations together. Thus, they more or less had some positive feelings for each other.
Aside from that, Yue Lingkong was not a fool. Since she was bold enough to devour her second primordial spirit, she naturally had a way in mind in which she had confidence to mend her primordial spirit without leaving a sequela.
