Chapter 1113: Chapter 81: The Art of Divine Healing_3
Nasha breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the Pope’s Divine Healing Technique was not used on her own daughter. However, Xuan Ye grew tense, knowing full well which brother Yan Shi was referring to. He quickly stepped forward, asking anxiously, "Is Ah Dai injured?" He abruptly remembered the scene when he had gone to meet his uncle Xuan Yuan; they had said it was brought by the Judgment Chief—could it be that his uncle had wounded Ah Dai?
Seeing Xuan Ye, a shiver ran through Yan Shi. The formidable strength displayed by Xuan Ye on the Tian Gang Mountain still left him with apprehension. He nodded and said, "Yes, Ah Dai is gravely injured. For Yue Yue’s sake, you must have the Pope save him!"
Xuan Ye now understood why his father would spare no expense of energy to use the Divine Healing Technique. He was quite aware of Ah Dai’s importance to the Church, nodding, he said, "Don’t worry, as long as Ah Dai is still breathing, the Pope’s Divine Healing Technique can bring him back." He looked up at the gradually dissipating white glow in the sky, adding, "Let’s go down; the Divine Healing Technique is nearing its end."
Inside the Prayer Temple, Ah Dai’s body floated midair, surrounded by a three-meter-thick layer of white light. The Pope continuously recited spells, and under the potent regenerative force of the Divine Healing Technique, Ah Dai’s meridians gradually reconnected. Vast energies filled inside Ah Dai’s body, repairing and reinforcing his damages, rapidly restoring his physique.
The Pope was very satisfied with the effect of his Divine Healing Technique, feeling every one of Ah Dai’s blood vessels clearing up, he nodded slightly at Xuan Yuan. Xuan Yuan soared up and, with a seemingly gentle palm, lightly tapped above Ah Dai’s Dantian. A flash of golden light, filled with a strong Sacred Aura of True Qi, rushed into his Dantian, swiftly merging into the meridians around his lower abdomen. The energy journeyed through his meridians and finally converged in the center of his Dantian with Ah Dai’s Silver Body. Over the past nine days, the Silver Body, relying on its tremendous recuperative abilities, had recovered most of its energy on its own. This external stimulation suddenly activated it, its energy sparked, and under a great increase of luminance, the Silver Body was reactivated. Vigorous life-giving True Qi flowed through the newly connected meridians into his whole body. Ah Dai’s body in midair shook, a look of pain spreading across his face; the freshly connected meridians were still fragile, nearly rupturing again under the powerful surge of energy. The Pope glared at his brother and quickly protected Ah Dai’s meridians with the remaining energy from the Divine Healing Technique, averting the risk of them rupturing once more.
Ah Dai himself began to emit a white light, and his expression gradually settled. The Pope said to Xuan Yuan, "Unblock that mass of energy in his chest, but be careful, just a bit of energy will do. That energy seems to be something he cannot fully control himself; activating it a little may help him in the future."
Xuan Yuan grunted in acknowledgment, leapt up again, and shot a beam of golden light from his index finger, striking the center of Ah Dai’s chest. A surge of energy flowed in, instantly melding with the second Golden Body passed down by the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang. The second Golden Body trembled slightly. Until now, Ah Dai had been gradually absorbing its energy, but with this stimulation by external force, the second Golden Body immediately released a ring of golden energy; abundant life-giving True Qi instantly spread across Ah Dai’s entire body, adding a layer of golden energy around his white glow. After releasing this energy, the second Golden Body remained quietly suspended in the center of Ah Dai’s chest, but it had changed—it was not like the Silver Body, which was the source of all energy in Ah Dai’s body, but as his energy became active, it would be much easier for Ah Dai to continue absorbing from it in the future. Only the pure Divine Energy like Xuan Yuan’s could activate the second Golden Body, and the amount of force he used was just right; too little would have been ineffective, any more could have been dangerous, possibly fully activating the immense energy of the second Golden Body, an amount that Ah Dai was not yet ready to endure.
Sensing the changes in Ah Dai’s body, the Pope’s face showed a trace of a smile, nodding at Xuan Yuan, he controlled Ah Dai’s body with his own Divine Power, allowing him to fall upon the altar. He examined Ah Dai’s condition one more time before revealing a smile, "It seems my Divine Healing Technique is indeed very effective; his body has mostly recovered. With his own True Qi constantly adjusting, it won’t be long before he recovers. Let’s leave him here; don’t move him until the meridians in his body have fully recovered, lest we lose all the progress we’ve made."
The Pope and Xuan Yuan stepped out of the Prayer Temple together, facing the clerics gathered outside, the Pope solemnly said, "Everyone disperse. The divine has told us that only through constant tribulation can we attain true knowledge. Go now, children of the divine." The clerics knelt and chanted the Prayer Charm once more, before gradually dispersing.
Xing Er and Zhuo Yun looked worriedly at the Pope, with Xing Er anxiously asking, "Your Holiness, how is Brother Ah Dai?"
The Pope glanced at Xing Er and responded indifferently, "Rest assured, he is out of danger. Within three days, he is sure to awaken." Hearing the Pope’s words, Yan Shi’s spirit relaxed and, following after Yan Li, he dozed off wearily on the steps outside the Prayer Temple.
