The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1571: Void Physique

After leaving the Black Current Island, Ling Feng searched across the vast sea and found a deserted island where he could stay temporarily.

He had already obtained the Void Lotus Root. The next step was to use it to reconstruct Yue Yunlan's body.

Yue Yunlan had exhausted all her vital essence. Although she had survived with the help of the Hong Lian relic, she remained unconscious most of the time even after waking.

After entering the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, Ling Feng went straight into the palace within the Wood Elemental Realm.

At this moment, Qiao Qiao was carefully tending to Yue Yunlan. More than half a month had passed. The effects of the Hong Lian relic were gradually weakening, and Yue Yunlan's condition continued to worsen.

"Mr. Ling."

When Qiao Qiao saw Ling Feng enter, she quickly asked, "How did it go? Did you find the Void Lotus Root?"

"It was not a wasted trip."

Ling Feng strode to Yue Yunlan's bedside. He took out a section of the black lotus root from his storage spirit ring and said calmly, "This is the Void Lotus Root. Miss Yue possesses the Hong Lian Sacred Body. After fusing with it, she should recover completely."

"That is wonderful!"

Qiao Qiao was overjoyed. "Mr. Ling, I knew you would find a way. You really did it!"

"Let me treat Miss Yue first."

Ling Feng took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Qiao Qiao, please help Miss Yue sit up. You may need to remove her upper garments shortly."

"Alright..."

Qiao Qiao nodded without hesitation.

Yue Yunlan had nearly died to save Ling Feng by using the Three Lives Lotus. Ling Feng had traveled tirelessly to save her. Their bond had already been forged through hardship.

Even Yue Zhonglian and Madam Hong Lian would likely have already accepted Ling Feng as their future son in law.

Ling Feng steadied his mind and began guiding the process with his elemental force. The Void Lotus Root contained extremely pure void energy. In Yue Yunlan's current condition, that energy was far too violent for her to endure directly.

He first absorbed the void energy into his own body. After circulating it once to refine and soften it, he carefully channeled it into Yue Yunlan.

Before long, her aura began to recover. The pallor on her face slowly faded, replaced by a hint of color.

"Qiao Qiao, you may proceed."

Ling Feng closed his eyes and gently guided the remaining portion of the Void Lotus Root toward Yue Yunlan's chest.

Qiao Qiao understood at once and carefully removed Yue Yunlan's upper garments.

The Void Lotus Root emitted a faint dark radiance. Yue Yunlan's body had been like a withered red lotus, but under the influence of the spiritual energy within the root, vitality began to return.

Time passed little by little.

Yue Yunlan's Hong Lian Sacred Body began to evolve toward a Void Physique, just as the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation had predicted.

If her physique truly transformed into a Void Physique, it would far surpass her original Sacred Body. Her future progress in martial cultivation would be extraordinarily rapid.

This was also a stroke of fortune for her. The section of Void Lotus Root that Ling Feng obtained was the most precious piece in the entire lotus pool. The void energy within it far exceeded that of ordinary roots.

As for the small golden fish, its origin remained mysterious. Even the Void Twins knew nothing about it.

Ling Feng simply treated it as a spirit born from the Void Lotus Pool and allowed it to swim freely in the Water Elemental Realm without concern.

One hour passed.

Two hours passed.

Time itself seemed meaningless within the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

At last, Yue Yunlan coughed softly and slowly opened her eyes. Her body was now filled with vitality. A layer of void energy surrounded her, making it impossible to discern her true cultivation level at a glance.

The Void Physique was indeed far superior to an ordinary Sacred Body.

Ling Feng felt relieved. After a period of recovery, with her current talent, she would almost certainly pass the entrance assessment of the Dongling Immortal Pool next year.

"Miss!"

Qiao Qiao immediately embraced Yue Yunlan and burst into tears of joy. "You are finally better. This is wonderful."

"Mr. Ling... Qiao Qiao..."

Yue Yunlan opened her eyes, sensing that something felt different. Whenever she had awakened before, it felt as though she was barely clinging to her last breath. She had always feared that once she exhaled, she would never wake again.

This time, however, she felt an endless surge of energy within her body. A warmth spread through her limbs. She felt as if she could leap endlessly without tiring.

"Miss Yue, you are finally awake!"

Ling Feng opened his eyes as well, then quickly turned his head aside. His face flushed slightly. "My apologies. I forgot that you..."

Yue Yunlan lowered her gaze and realized that she was completely unclothed.

Her face turned bright red. She quickly grabbed her clothes to cover herself.

"I am sorry, Miss. I was too happy when I saw you wake up."

Qiao Qiao wiped her tears and hurried to help Yue Yunlan get dressed. Only then did she call out, "Mr. Ling, you can turn around now."

Ling Feng cleared his throat and touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly. "Miss Yue, do you feel any discomfort?"

Yue Yunlan looked at him, her cheeks still warm. She shook her head and replied softly, "No, I feel fine."

Qiao Qiao giggled. "Miss, why be shy? You will marry Mr. Ling sooner or later."

She cast Yue Yunlan a teasing glance, stood up, and walked toward the door. "You two can talk. I will go find that Big Black Donkey."

"Qiao Qiao..."

Yue Yunlan called out, but Qiao Qiao had already stepped outside. Before leaving, she gave Yue Yunlan an encouraging look.

Silence filled the room.

Ling Feng was never skilled with sweet words. He looked at Yue Yunlan for a long moment before finally speaking. "Miss Yue, thank you."

"Mr. Ling, I should be the one thanking you. I never expected that you would truly appear that day."

Yue Yunlan bit her lip and gathered her courage. "Do you know how happy I felt at that moment? I finally understood that I have always had a place in your heart."

"Miss Yue..."

Ling Feng clenched his fists and spoke in a low voice. "I am sorry. Perhaps I am not worthy of the sacrifice you made when you used the Three Lives Lotus to save me. I..."

Yue Yunlan's expression dimmed slightly. From his tone, she already understood.

She forced a faint smile. "So it is a case of one who dreams while the other has no such intent. I understand. I am sorry, Mr. Ling. I have been mistaken in my feelings."

"That is not what I mean."

Ling Feng looked at her seriously. "I simply cannot see my own heart clearly. We have gone through so much together. If I claimed that I feel nothing for you, even I would not believe it. But there is something you must know."

He then told her everything about Mu Qianxue. He spoke of how she had saved him in the demon race's sacred land at the cost of her divine blood and how she had been forced to leave by her clan.

"So Miss Mu has such a background..."

Yue Yunlan nodded slowly after hearing the story. "Her feelings for you are indeed deep. I cannot compare."

"No. You were willing to give your life for me. I will never forget that."

Ling Feng met her gaze and continued, "But right now, my heart is set on going to the Jiuli Divine Clan to find Qianxue and uncover the truth. Before that, I cannot give you any promise. I am sorry."

"I understand."

A gentle smile appeared on Yue Yunlan's face. "Perhaps it is precisely because you value loyalty and love so deeply that I cannot let go of you. Mr. Ling, you do not need to say anything more. I am willing to wait."
