Chapter 198 Finally Woke Up
Since the lotus platform was not supported by divine power, Tao Tao quickly gained control of it, slowly infusing it with his own spiritual power and manipulating it with his divine soul. In the blink of an eye, the closed petals slowly opened, and a small silver dragon was gradually released, floating above the lotus platform.
There was a slight change in his aura, but not much, probably because it was too weak. Tao Tao manipulated the lotus platform to repair him and used the spiritual energy from the spiritual spring to recharge him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as spiritual energy was introduced, Bai Yan's body became like a vortex, frantically absorbing it. The spiritual spring was originally full of spiritual energy, but in just a short while, the spiritual energy was already showing signs of depletion. You should know that Tao Tao had just consumed so much spiritual energy, but the spiritual spring did not waver in the slightest.
Moreover, not only that, even the spiritual energy contained in the surrounding trees and flowers was being absorbed little by little. In a short time, the flowers, trees and plants thousands of miles away withered and died, and the water in the spiritual spring gradually dried up, and the spiritual energy in the entire valley disappeared.
Seeing this, Tao Tao was very worried. So much spiritual energy had been absorbed, but why did Bai Yan still show no signs of waking up? His body was like a bottomless pit, able to hold any amount of spiritual energy.
“Ayan…”
She knew it would be difficult to find more spiritual energy than this, and besides, the lotus platform's repair capabilities were already the strongest in the human realm. She couldn't think of any other magic weapon that could compare to it. If even this couldn't restore him, did it mean she had to find a way to ascend? Perhaps there would be a way once she reached the immortal realm.
But ascension is easier said than done, especially since it's something she can do just by wanting to. Besides, Tao Tao doesn't want to wait any longer; she can't wait for Bai Yan to wake up right now.
Just as Tao Tao was feeling uneasy, the lotus platform suddenly changed. The color of the surrounding petals gradually changed to transparent, and at the same time, it released a very gentle power that enveloped the little silver dragon.
"Ayan is actually absorbing the power of the lotus platform..."
This was something Tao Tao hadn't expected. The surrounding spiritual energy had been almost completely absorbed, and now even the power of the Liuxian Lotus Platform was being absorbed. It seemed that Bai Yan's realm was simply too high, and the spiritual energy in the human realm was not enough for him, thus preventing him from recovering so quickly.
Soon the power of the lotus platform weakened, eventually transforming into a final stream of pure spiritual energy that entered the little silver dragon's body.
The little silver dragon seemed unchanged, still hovering above the dried-up pool. Its silvery-white scales shone brilliantly in the sunlight, a sight so beautiful that Tao Tao was mesmerized.
But when Tao Tao found that Bai Yan had not recovered, she was extremely anxious. What should she do? The Liuxian Lotus Platform had been absorbed but there was still no change. Was it because the spiritual power was not enough?
But where is she going to find so much spiritual energy now? She feels like she's almost there, but she's still just a little short.
Tao Tao was heartbroken. She didn't want to give up. All along, she had been searching for ways to help Bai Yan recover. Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, she was determined to make him better, even if it cost her her life.
Thinking of this, Tao Tao began to channel her spiritual power into the little silver dragon. She already had very little spiritual power left, and if she continued like this, she would probably be completely exhausted. But even if she were to be completely exhausted, Tao Tao would be willing to do so.
As her spiritual power was injected, for some unknown reason, a faint divine soul mark suddenly appeared on the little silver dragon's neck. Then, it actually began to frantically absorb Tao Tao's spiritual power. Feeling the spiritual power in its body constantly flowing away, it had exceeded Tao Tao's control. She dared not easily withdraw and could only let it develop.
In no time, Tao Tao's spiritual power had been almost completely absorbed. She felt extremely weak and could barely stand, but she was still struggling to hold on, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
If she falls into a deep sleep at this time, and Bai Yan's existence is discovered, she will definitely be harmed by someone with ulterior motives. There has never been a true dragon in the human realm. Whoever discovers him will definitely try to take him for themselves.
"Ayan..." Tao Tao opened her mouth, her vision becoming increasingly blurry. Gradually, she could see nothing at all, and her body was too weak to support her. Like a kite with a broken string, she slowly fell to the ground. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of hands suddenly gently embraced her.
Before losing consciousness, she sensed a familiar presence and tried to open her eyes, but everything became blurry, followed by endless darkness.
……
Tao Tao had a dream in which the magic array she had set up was broken, and several Nascent Soul stage cultivators broke in, their target being Bai Yan, who was floating there. She was terrified and tried to stop them, but found that she couldn't move her body at all, so she shouted anxiously.
"Don't touch him!" Tao Tao shouted, suddenly opening her eyes and sitting up abruptly. Sweat dripped from her forehead and landed on the back of her hand. She was still breathing heavily with lingering fear and hurriedly looked at the pool, but the little silver dragon was nowhere to be seen.
This terrified her. Could it be that what she just experienced wasn't a dream, but something that actually happened?
She could no longer sit still. She immediately stood up and anxiously searched for the little silver dragon. At the same time, she quickly checked and found that the magic array was intact, and even the spatial barrier she had set up was still there, which at least meant that no one had broken in.
But where is Bai Yan? Shouldn't he still be asleep?
Tao Tao's heart was in her throat, her mind filled with Bai Yan, and she couldn't care less about anything else. She even went so far as to release her divine sense to search for him over a wide area, even though her spiritual power was already severely depleted and using her divine sense like this might cause a backlash.
She knew it was dangerous, but she had no choice but to do it; she couldn't let Bai Yan get hurt in any way.
Just as she was feeling dizzy and desperately searching, a chill came from the back of her neck, making her shiver. She turned her head sharply and saw a small silver dragon hovering in front of her, with lingering light still visible on its raised claws.
"Ayan!" Tao Tao cried with joy and rushed over, hugging the little silver dragon tightly. She used too much force, and the little silver dragon's features twisted together. Suddenly, a cold light shone from between its brows, and frost condensed from Tao Tao's feet, instantly freezing her into an ice sculpture.
The moment Tao Tao was frozen into an ice sculpture, the little silver dragon broke free from her arms and floated in front of her, its glassy eyes looking at her with great interest, making Tao Tao's eyes sting.
He's still the same, except his health hasn't fully recovered.
Even though he's shrunk in size, his temper is still the same. You can't mess with him at all!
Although Tao Tao thought this way, she was actually very happy. What she wanted to see most was that Bai Yan would wake up. Although he had not fully recovered, he had at least taken this step. As long as he was well cared for, he would return to his original state sooner or later.
Perhaps seeing Tao Tao's pitiful state, Bai Yan's heart softened. With a flick of his dragon claw, the ice surrounding Tao Tao shattered instantly, freeing her. She almost pounced on him again, but was scared back by a glare from the little silver dragon. She could only obediently keep her distance from him and carefully check on his current situation.
After examining him, Tao Tao frowned slightly. "Ayan, your cultivation has actually regressed to the Qi Refining stage, only at the fifth level of Qi Refining..."
When will he recover? It's already taken a huge price for him to wake up; she really doesn't know what kind of extraordinary treasures would be needed to have even the slightest effect on him.
To her surprise, the little silver dragon ignored her, yawned, and then transformed into a beam of white light, disappearing into the flower branch space without a trace.
"She's become lethargic... Don't worry, Ayan, I'll definitely make you better." Tao Tao said with a determined look; no matter what, this was her goal right now.
And the thought that Bai Yan had at least woken up made her beam with joy.
That's great, at least the effort wasn't in vain.
