Chapter 558 The Wound of the Great Dao
"This must be the spirit of the Feixian Pot."
Dongfang Xiong was not surprised at all when he heard Xu Zhitian say that he would definitely die within ten years. Instead, he smiled and asked Qi Xiu.
"Well, how did the acting headmaster know?"
Before he could recover from the surprise of why Dongfang Xiong only had ten years left to live, Qi Xiu nodded slightly when he heard the voice.
“Qingchen told me before he left that you might bring back a Xiantian Dao artifact when you return this time.
And since this old gentleman could appear in front of me out of thin air, he must be at the Yuanshen realm, so his identity is self-evident.
With this old man by your side, those things in the Hell Forest really can't do anything to you."
Seeing Xu Zhitian appear, Dongfang Xiong's heart calmed down.
The Xiantian Dao artifact is comparable to the Yuanshen Zhenzun, and is even more powerful.
A divine weapon like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder City, which is used for killing and fighting, is so powerful that ordinary Yuanshen Zhenzun dare not touch it lightly.
Although Xu Zhitian is a divine weapon of medicine, he is not as domineering as the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder City.
But there are also means of power at the soul level.
With his support, you can ensure that your practice goes smoothly.
"Mr. Xu, you said that the acting master is nearing the end of his life and is about to die. Is there any way to cure him?" Qi Xiu frowned and asked, still remembering what Xu Zhitian had just said.
No wonder he always felt that there was something wrong with Dongfang Xiong's condition, but his cultivation was still shallow and he couldn't see any clues.
Xu Zhitian took a look at this magical medicine weapon and immediately saw the key.
“No, the wounds he suffered were caused by the Great Dao, and they are different from the Great Dao backlash I suffered before.
All his injuries were caused by his repeated failures in attacking the Yuanshen Avenue.
As injuries accumulate, the five elements of heaven and man will decline.
Ordinary medicines and life-extending substances are of no use.
The only way to save it is to break through the Great Dao of the Soul and achieve the status of True Venerable.
Otherwise, you will just have to wait to die.”
Shaking his head, Xu Zhitian revealed a bit of admiration and appreciation in his eyes as he told him that Dongfang Xiong was seriously injured.
“Old sir, you have a good eye. I have been in seclusion for more than 900 years and have made forty-seven attempts at the Great Dao of the Primordial Spirit.
After each failed attack, a scar will appear on the body.
Now, my body is riddled with holes and I only have one last chance.
If I cannot succeed in this attack, I will just have to die.”
After taking off the wide Taoist robe, Dongfang Xiong's thin upper body was covered with various shocking scars.
Some are like sword stabbing, some are like axe chopping, some are like whipping, and some are like steel mace smashing...
Every scar reveals a trace of the extremely powerful and terrifying aura of the Great Dao. Just looking at it will make you feel as if you have suffered the same attack and it is extremely painful.
These great wounds remained on Dongfang Xiong's body, constantly corroding and deteriorating his body and soul.
This makes his body and soul weaker and weaker, adding insult to injury.
And he was able to withstand forty-seven major injuries at the same time and persist until today.
This is also the reason why Xu Zhitian looks at Dongfang Xiong differently.
Forty-seven major wounds, if it were an ordinary creature, just one would be enough to make him die.
The fact that Dongfang Xiong could hold on for so long shows his extraordinary skills and unparalleled perseverance.
“When you attained enlightenment, someone damaged your foundation. Although you managed to make up for it later, it never fully healed.
Without a perfect and consistent foundation, no matter how many times you attempt to reach the Great Dao of the Soul, you will only end in failure."
There was a ray of divine light flowing in his eyes, and Xu Zhitian's words also made Dongfang Xiong's expression move.
"When I became a Taoist, my foundation was indeed damaged by someone, but I took precious medicine to heal it afterwards, and I have never felt anything unusual during my practice since then. How did you see that, old man?"
"If you glue the broken porcelain back together, it will be the same as before?"
Xu Zhitian's casual remark made Dongfang Xiong's eyes sparkle. For nearly a thousand years, he had been constantly attacking the Great Dao of the Soul, but always ended in failure.
But even though he was suffering more and more injuries, he never thought of giving up.
And what Xu Zhitian said today made him feel like he had grasped the opportunity for a breakthrough.
Perhaps in these last ten years when even he himself could not see any hope, there was still a glimmer of hope...
"Mr. Xu, do you have any treatment methods?"
Qi Xiu knew very well that once Dongfang Xiong achieved the status of a True Spirit, the Shenxiao Sect would surely become the top sect in the entire Middle-earth world.
Two true masters in one family.
This is not just about the amount of power in the Soul Realm.
Rather, it is an unprecedented enhancement of strategic significance.
If any sect or family has two Yuanshen Zhenzu, it means that they can have one Zhenzu stay in the sect while the other Zhenzu goes out to fight.
Without any worries, Yuanshen Zhenzun, whose hands are completely free, is like a dragon entering the sea, unstoppable.
Therefore, within the Daxuan territory, the strength of the major ancient sects and powerful families varies.
However, the decisive factor that can truly determine the level of strength is the number of Yuanshen Zhenzun.
"Me? Xu Zhitian? A divine medicine weapon!
Is there any medicine in this world that I can't make?"
Xu Zhitian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qi Xiu, then raised his head slightly and recited:
"The way of heaven is to reduce the excess and replenish the deficiency. Therefore, the void overcomes the full, and the deficiency overcomes the excess...
This kid's foundation of Taoism has been damaged for too long, and he has suffered too many injuries from the Tao.
It is like adding insult to injury and adding insult to injury.
Want to restore it to its peak condition.
There is only one medicine that is most suitable.”
"What medicine?" Qi Xiu asked.
Hearing Qi Xiu's question, Xu Zhitian smiled mysteriously and slowly uttered a name:
“Heaven-repairing magic medicine!”
"This……"
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, he finally came across the Heaven-Repairing Divine Medicine. Qi Xiu couldn't help but smile:
"It seems that God is helping our Shenxiao Sect."
"how do I say this?"
Dongfang Xiong, who was standing by, saw Qi Xiu smiling so happily and asked out of curiosity.
Dongfang Xiong was told that the God of Wealth Shen Wansan had entrusted him to refine the [Heaven-Repairing Divine Medicine] and that he had added five times the amount of medicine.
For a moment, the acting headmaster of the Shenxiao Sect, the great elder, also laughed heartily:
"Hahaha, Shen Wansan has been doing business for more than a thousand years and calls himself the richest businessman in the world. I didn't expect that he would fall to the point of being ripped off by others."
“Right now, the True God of Wealth is going around collecting the magical herbs and medicines for refining the Heaven-Repairing Medicine. It will probably be delivered soon.
According to the dosage on the prescription, at least ten portions of [Heavenly Pills for Repairing Divine Medicine] can be refined.
Give one portion to Shen Wansan, and we will have nine portions left, which is enough for use."
Qi Xiu believed that with the means of the True God of Wealth Shen Wansan, and his urgency for the Heaven-Repairing Magic Medicine, he would be able to collect all the magical herbs and medicines within a year at most.
At that time, he could entrust Mr. Xu to refine a portion first. Although the Heaven-Repairing Medicine could not heal Dongfang Xiong's great injury, it could not allow him to break through the shackles of his lifespan within ten years.
But it can help him complete his foundation and temporarily restore to his peak state, allowing him to burst out all his strength and finally impact the Great Dao of the Soul once more.
As for Shen Wansan's portion, he can put it aside for the time being, otherwise he will find out that the person who refined the medicine was not him.
But just when everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
A loud noise suddenly broke out.
Suddenly, black and red chains that were over ten thousand feet long popped out from the Hell Forest and were placed across the sky above the Shenxiao Sect's mountain gate. The rolling gloomy energy of hell surged wildly, and in an instant the entire sky became dim.
Countless evil ghosts visible to the naked eye are wandering and walking on the chains, their cold and numb eyes staring at everything around them.
It's like a living ghost!
