LZX Chapter 72.3

Shu Wuxi didn’t hesitate at all, his handsome face remaining unchanged.

His spirit began to separate from his body bit by bit, attempting to enter Lu Xiaochan’s eyes!

“Shu Wuxi—-if your primordial spirit is destroyed here! Even if I leave Lu Xiaochan’s body, he will still regret and suffer, every day of his life will be unbearable torment— worse than death!”

Shu Wuxi’s elixir core shook violently, showing signs of cracking!

“Stabilize his elixir core!” Lord Miaochen made a quick decision, using the Nirvana Phoenix Sword Formation to enter Shu Wuxi’s inner core to stabilize his elixir core.

Ling Nianwu and Lianyue also activated their sword formations, adding multiple layers of reinforcement.

But the sword energy of the Wuyi Sword Sea was earth-shattering; they could stabilize it temporarily but not forever.

At this time, Kunwu, riding on the Jiuyao, arrived and saw the destroyed Wuyi Jingtian, remaining stunned for a long time.

When he noticed Lu Xiaochan’s eyes had turned an extremely demonic gold color, as if they could bewitch all things in heaven and earth, he almost fell off the Jiuyao.

“What… what happened…”

At this moment, Mo Qianqiu flew on his sword to his side and said softly, “Kunwu, Xiaochan has been possessed and is trapped in the ‘Playing with Dust’ world created by Chaos!”

Kunwu was shocked. “What can we do! The ‘Playing with Dust’ world is both false and real! And our cultivation levels cannot enter that ‘Playing with Dust’ realm!”

“That’s why Shu Wuxi took the Wuyi Sword Sea into his body, to forcefully enter Chaos’s ‘Playing with Dust’ world!”

“This absolutely cannot happen! Back then, he spent six hundred years of cultivation to protect Xiaochan’s elixir core… Later, to illuminate Xiaochan’s elixir core and open his wisdom eyes, his cultivation was also damaged! How can he contain the Wuyi Sword Sea!”

“That’s why you need to help me!” Mo Qianqiu said.

“Help you, how can I help?”

“As the Medical Lord, do you know the ‘Tailing Void Purification Spell’!”

Kunwu’s eyes widened, then he understood. “Of course I know it, but my level isn’t as high as Liche’s was back then. Since today I must sacrifice myself to save Xiaochan, I won’t hesitate!”

Kunwu’s expression was determined. He understood that only by weakening Chaos’s power could they let Shu Wuxi successfully enter the ‘Playing with Dust’ world!

A thousand years ago, as your senior brother, I watched helplessly as your form was destroyed. A thousand years later, sacrificing everything for you, how could I not!

“I hope this time you and him… can truly be together until the end of time!”

Kunwu’s spiritual energy soared into the sky, concentrating his divine consciousness. He believed his protective thoughts for Lu Xiaochan would surely overcome his obsession!

Before the surging sword sea, the Tailing Void Purification Spell appeared. Kunwu waved his hand, driving away the Jiuyao, and was about to jump into the great spell.

But a figure rushed past him – it was Mo Qianqiu!

He kicked his Qianqiu Sword away and entered the “Tailing Void Purification Spell” without hesitation.

“Mo Qianqiu——” Kunwu watched as the Qianqiu Sword brushed past him.

Mo Qianqiu smiled and said, “You don’t understand Xiaochan’s obsession, how can you guide him!”

Kunwu reached out but couldn’t grab Mo Qianqiu. His original body entered the spell, and the spell’s spiritual energy surged, pressing downward.

Everyone was amazed, but Lord Lianyue said, “Using thought to guide thought, among us only Mo Qianqiu could achieve this!”

Ling Nianwu watched as Mo Qianqiu was completely consumed by the “Tailing Void Purification Spell” and finally understood.

Over the thousand years, it wasn’t just Shu Wuxi who had been protecting and waiting for Lu Xiaochan.

Mo Qianqiu had waited selflessly, expecting nothing in return, having thoughts but no obsession – this was true openness!

Lu Xiaochan opened his golden eyes wide and roared, “None of you can guide me—”

The Void Purification Spell pressed down directly, entering his elixir sea from the top of his head.

“Ah——ah——” Lu Xiaochan threw back his head, as if his body would break in two.

The power of Evil God Chaos was weakened, and Shu Wuxi’s primordial spirit finally entered the “Playing with Dust” world!

He saw Lu Xiaochan searching for him everywhere in the world. It turned out he had always thought Shu Wuxi’s original body had been destroyed by the “Question Heaven” sword formation, not knowing that was Chaos making him “possessed.”

He was tired and frantically trying to grab all the smoke fragments, but couldn’t piece together Shu Wuxi.

Tears overwhelmed him, and even if he could move mountains and seas, he was still completely alone. This world was desolate enough to terrify him.

Until Shu Wuxi squeezed out from despair and reached out his hand to Lu Xiaochan.

“Xiaochan, I’m here!”

Lu Xiaochan heard Shu Wuxi’s voice and was overjoyed, but he couldn’t find Shu Wuxi anywhere.

His eyes suddenly couldn’t see anything, as if he had even lost his wisdom eyes.

“Xiaochan, I’m here! Come with me!”

Shu Wuxi’s voice was so clear, but Lu Xiaochan just couldn’t grasp him.

Until a force pushed him, Lu Xiaochan turned around and saw Mo Qianqiu.

He smiled and said to him, “Xiaochan, you should go out now.”

Lu Xiaochan crashed into a familiar and solid embrace. All the previous coldness and loneliness instantly shattered as Shu Wuxi held him tightly and flew away.

The “Playing with Dust” world collapsed, and when Lu Xiaochan opened his eyes, he felt the surging spiritual energy all around, and before him was Mo Qianqiu’s original body dispersing like sand.

“Qianqiu—” Lu Xiaochan flew forward, reaching out to grab Mo Qianqiu.

All the past memories flooded into Lu Xiaochan’s heart.

Whether it was his first meeting with Mo Qianqiu as Liche, solving the Myriad Phenomena Lock together, or traveling through Dongxu searching for rare flowers and herbs, or in this life when Mo Qianqiu always appeared before him in times of danger…

But Mo Qianqiu was calm. He raised his hand and lightly touched Lu Xiaochan’s brow.

“This time I can finally protect you…”

“Qianqiu, no! Come back! Come back!”

“Gatherings and partings have their time. Causes and endings, all exist in the mind alone.”

In an instant, Mo Qianqiu’s original body scattered, and Lu Xiaochan could only touch countless grains of sand despite his heart-wrenching cries.

Mo Qianqiu’s smile, his appearance, his open-minded demeanor when letting go of the past – all remained unforgettable in Lu Xiaochan’s heart.

“Quick, use the Immortal-Locking Ribbon—-” Kunwu shouted.

Shu Wuxi pulled hard, and the Immortal-Locking Ribbon separated from Lu Xiaochan’s wrist, then flew out, tightly binding Mo Qianqiu’s elixir core as it slowly fell.

“Qianqiu—” Lu Xiaochan reached out to catch it, treasuring it like a priceless possession, holding it tight.

At this time, the Sword Spirit was fleeing at an extremely fast speed.

“What is that!” Kunwu asked.

He had never seen such a spirit form before.

Lord Miaochen’s expression turned serious, and she immediately flew on her sword. “That is Evil God Chaos’s primordial spirit!”

“So it was Evil God Chaos’s primordial spirit!”

Ling Nianwu and Lord Lianyue Yuan immediately gave chase, forming sword formations to try to capture it.

“He… wasn’t he the sword spirit? The collective remnant sword intent of all previous Sword Master Yang Cang…”

Lu Xiaochan held Mo Qianqiu’s elixir core tightly, staring in shock at the direction where the sword spirit had fled.

Shu Wuxi grabbed Lu Xiaochan and flew away on his sword. He said coldly, “The remnant sword intent of all previous sword masters is the Wuyi Sword Sea, how could there be a sword spirit!”

In that moment, Lu Xiaochan suddenly realized.

Years ago, when he came to Wuyi Jingtian as Liche, Evil God Chaos had already hidden there, pretending to be the sword spirit playing with Liche, gaining his trust!

It was the sword spirit who gave advice to Liche back then, using “Drunken Life Dream Death” and “Mirror Flower Water Moon” to peek into Shu Wuxi’s obsessive thoughts. Liche fled in panic to leave Wuyi Jingtian, which caused Shu Wuxi to develop the obsession of forcefully keeping him by his side, and that’s how Evil God Chaos entered Shu Wuxi’s original body.

Past causes and future consequences – Evil God Chaos had calculated everything long ago!

The Wuyi Sword Sea in Shu Wuxi’s elixir core surged and expanded, ready to burst at any moment, terrifying Lu Xiaochan.

But Lu Xiaochan deeply understood Shu Wuxi’s determination, because Chaos’s existence was the eternal obsession in Lu Xiaochan’s heart, keeping him forever in the fear of losing Shu Wuxi.

Fear born from love – it was Shu Wuxi before, now it was Lu Xiaochan.

Shu Wuxi mustered his strength again and formed the “Question Heaven” sword formation. The clouds in the sky and all the winds in the world were drawn into it.

Lu Xiaochan watched helplessly as Shu Wuxi’s elixir sea was impacted by the surging Wuyi Sword Sea, cracks appearing!

“Shu Wuxi—Shu Wuxi!”

Lu Xiaochan flew against the current on his sword, reaching out to grab him.

The Question Heaven sword formation bound the sword spirit, and its spirit form was gradually being refined and separated from its primordial spirit.

It smiled watching Lu Xiaochan exhausting himself trying to grab Shu Wuxi.

“Xiaochan, oh Xiaochan, guess what will happen first – will I be refined by the Question Heaven sword formation—— or will Shu Wuxi’s elixir core burst first?”

True Lord Lingyuan’s nearly desperate hopes for Yang Cang surged into Lu Xiaochan’s heart again, while the cracks in Shu Wuxi’s elixir core grew more and more obvious. Sword energy constantly leaked out, charging wildly inside his body – he could be destroyed by the Wuyi Sword Sea at any moment.

“Don’t refine it… let it go!” Lu Xiaochan screamed heartbreakingly.

“Xiaochan, if it exists, even if I stay by your side at all times you will still feel fear… If it no longer exists, even if I’m not by your side, there will be no evil or fear in your heart!”

Lu Xiaochan watched Shu Wuxi’s back, unwavering amid the wild elixir sea.

He wasn’t doing this to protect the world, nor because it was the one thing that all previous Lord Yang Cangs had entrusted to him, but to protect Lu Xiaochan.

Lu Xiaochan wanted to fight alongside him, but the Tailing Zhenyuan at his waist was already gone, and when he tried to gather the surrounding water power, even a single drop… all had been drawn into Shu Wuxi’s “Question Heaven” formation.

Shu Wuxi had borrowed all the world’s power, leaving Lu Xiaochan none to use!

At this time, Lord Lianyue and Lord Miaochen’s sword formations entered Shu Wuxi’s elixir sea, filling in the cracks.

Lu Xiaochan suddenly remembered before Lord Lianyue entered the Great Power’s First Layer of Heaven, Shu Wuxi had said “light within darkness.”

“Something from nothing, existence born from non-existence.” Supreme Lord Yehua’s eight-character critique appeared before Lu Xiaochan’s eyes.

Yang Cang embracing True Lord Lingyuan who had lost his elixir core, that tear falling into True Lord Lingyuan’s eye, as if passing through thousands of years of time, finally fell into Lu Xiaochan’s heart.

At that moment, Lu Xiaochan’s eyes grew wet.

Then I will borrow my fear in my heart, and fight alongside you!

Lu Xiaochan gripped the Wuhen Sword tightly, and that tear in his eyes entered the formation. The Yuanze sword formation arose from nothing and charged into the “Question Heaven” sword formation!

The Sword Spirit had thought Lu Xiaochan was going to refine it, but never expected the Yuanze sword formation would refine the Wuyi Sword Sea instead!
