Chapter 189 Spirit Dew Redemption: Strength Advancement
Lin Wan'er and Xia Lijuan gazed at the drop of sacred dew that trembled gently at the heart of the Ice Soul Lotus, radiating a soft light. Excitement and tension mingled in their hearts. This drop of spiritual dew, imbued with a thousand years of spiritual power, was their last hope for saving Zhang Peng, and the ultimate goal they had overcome countless hardships to achieve.
"Finally found him..." Lin Wan'er's voice was choked with sobs, and tears welled up in her eyes. The fatigue and hardship of the past few days had turned into a strong desire for Zhang Peng to wake up.
Xia Lijuan could not hide her excitement and nodded heavily: "Quickly, get the spiritual dew to save Zhang Peng!"
However, just as they were about to approach the Ice Soul Lotus, a biting, icy wind howled past, whipping up a flurry of snow and ice. A gigantic snow dragon burst forth from beneath the ice. The snow dragon was pure white, its scales shimmering with a cold light, and its blood-red vertical pupils gleamed with a bloodthirsty light. Its body writhed and swam across the icy plain, causing the ice to crack wherever it went.
"This is the Guardian Snow Dragon!" Lin Wan'er's expression changed drastically, her voice filled with terror. Ancient texts recorded that the Guardian Snow Dragon was the overlord of the extremely cold lands, guarding the Ice Soul Sacred Lotus, and its strength was unfathomable.
The snow dragon opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar. A blast of icy blue air shot out, sweeping towards Lin Wan'er and Xia Lijuan. Wherever the cold air reached, the air instantly froze, and a thick layer of ice quickly formed on the ground.
Lin Wan'er and Xia Lijuan quickly cast spells to defend themselves. Lin Wan'er used her wood-elemental spiritual power to form a sturdy green barrier in front of her; Xia Lijuan, on the other hand, fused ice-elemental magic with her own spiritual power, attempting to weaken the snow dragon's chilling aura. However, the snow dragon's attack was too powerful, and the green barrier trembled under the impact of the chilling aura, threatening to shatter at any moment.
"At this rate, we're no match for it!" Xia Lijuan cried out anxiously, her hands trembling slightly from the excessive consumption of spiritual energy.
Lin Wan'er bit her lower lip, a resolute glint in her eyes: "Even if we have to fight with all our might, we can't give up!" She concentrated her mind, mobilized all the spiritual power in her body, and tried to unleash "Life Bloom" again, but the previous battle with the Icefield Snow Bear had already greatly depleted her spiritual power. This time, she felt that her strength was somewhat insufficient.
Just when they were in dire straits, Lin Wan'er suddenly remembered the scene of Zhang Peng fusing multiple powers during the battle. A thought struck her: perhaps fusing her wood-type spiritual power with Xia Lijuan's ice-type spiritual power could produce unexpected results.
"Xia Lijuan, transfer your ice-type spiritual power to me, let's try to fuse!" Lin Wan'er shouted.
Without hesitation, Xia Lijuan immediately channeled her ice-elemental spiritual power into Lin Wan'er's body. Lin Wan'er closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and guided the two spiritual energies to merge within her body. At first, the two energies repelled each other, clashing violently within her, causing her immense pain. But Lin Wan'er gritted her teeth, and with her tenacious will, gradually found the balance point for the fusion of the two spiritual energies.
In an instant, a brand new power erupted within her. This power contained both the vitality and dynamism of wood-type spiritual energy, and the coldness and resilience of ice-type spiritual energy. Lin Wan'er opened her eyes, which shimmered with a strange light. She unleashed this fused power, and a multicolored beam of light shot from her hand, flying towards the snow dragon.
The snow dragon seemed to sense the danger and tried to dodge, but the light was too fast and struck it instantly. The snow dragon let out a painful scream as its body was enveloped in the light, struggling within it.
Taking advantage of the Snow Dragon's injury, Lin Wan'er and Xia Lijuan rushed towards the Ice Soul Lotus. Lin Wan'er carefully reached out and gently touched the Sacred Heart Dew. A pure and powerful spiritual energy instantly surged into her body, invigorating her. She quickly stored the Sacred Heart Dew in a jade bottle and fled with Xia Lijuan.
The snow dragon roared angrily behind them, trying to catch up, but its injuries were too severe, and it could only watch helplessly as the two left.
Lin Wan'er and Xia Lijuan rushed back to Sucheng without stopping. At this time, under the protection of Elder Xuanfeng, the dark forces in Sucheng had been completely defeated, but a tense atmosphere still permeated the city.
Elder Xuanfeng's eyes flashed with joy when he saw the two return: "You're finally back. Zhang Peng... his condition is getting more and more critical."
Lin Wan'er and Xia Lijuan, without even taking a break, immediately went to Zhang Peng's side. Lin Wan'er gently opened the jade bottle and dripped the Sacred Spirit Dew into Zhang Peng's mouth. As soon as the Sacred Spirit Dew entered Zhang Peng's body, it transformed into a pure spiritual energy, rapidly repairing his damaged meridians and internal organs. Zhang Peng's complexion gradually regained some color, and his breathing gradually stabilized.
"Zhang Peng, wake up..." Lin Wan'er called softly.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Peng slowly opened his eyes. His eyes still held a hint of confusion, but upon seeing Lin Wan'er and Xia Lijuan, a flicker of surprise crossed them: "I...I'm still alive?"
"Zhang Peng, you're finally awake!" Lin Wan'er cried tears of joy and hugged Zhang Peng tightly.
Zhang Peng felt Lin Wan'er's warmth, and a warm current surged in his heart. He sat up, circulated his spiritual energy, and found that his injuries had healed by more than half. Moreover, under the nourishment of the Sacred Heart Dew, he had become more adept at controlling his spiritual energy, and there were faint signs of breaking through to the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
"Thanks to you all, I was able to wake up," Zhang Peng said gratefully.
Elder Xuanfeng smiled and nodded, "This experience has been a valuable trial for you. Zhang Peng, take good care of yourself. Once you recover from your injuries, your strength will surely reach a new level."
Zhang Peng nodded slightly. He knew that his path to immortality was still long, and many more challenges awaited him in the future. But with the support of Lin Wan'er, Xia Lijuan, and his family, he was fearless.
