Chapter 611: Chapter 305: The Death of Madam Yi (Part 3)
"Because it is unnameable."
Lady Yi did not hold back, sighing, "My bloodline was the foremost in welcoming the strange descent. It received the deepest favor, so all descendants have the strongest bloodline and excel in practicing the arts of strangeness beyond normal people. But for this reason, the strange tribulations come more fiercely than for others. The unnameable pain is hidden in the bloodline, making life worse than death."
"This is also why I am adamant about pursuing blood reconstruction, returning to the orthodox Immortal Dao. My descendants suffer greatly from it. Helping me is to help her. How could she not be loyal?"
"Moreover, as you said, the unnameable should have been manifesting for a long time for her, causing much suffering. If there’s no remedy, she’ll end up like I did back then—neither human nor ghost, haha..."
Li An nodded repeatedly, "Madam, you are absolutely right!"
"Well then, everything is set now, just waiting for my blood reconstruction."
Lady Yi’s spirits were lifted, and she said, "Husband, have you prepared enough blood food for me?"
Li An took out the blood food one by one, handing them over to Lady Yi, and said, "Madam, please use them."
With a casual wave through the blood food, Lady Yi, with a move of mana, instantly refined a blood pill. She said, "Husband, give me a strand of your primordial spirit."
Though puzzled, Li An did not hesitate and gave her a strand. Lady Yi examined it slightly, then infused Li An’s primordial spirit into the blood pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Madam, why are you doing this?"
"If my blood reconstruction is successful, I may lose all previous memories. If I forget my husband then, wouldn’t it be letting you down? By taking a strand of your primordial spirit, even if I forget everything, I will not forget you. Husband, are you happy about that?"
Li An nodded, but his face couldn’t hide his nervousness, "Madam, what if you fail?"
"If my primordial spirit encounters a mishap, then husband, you will join me in going to the underworld as a married couple!"
She appeared deeply affectionate, gentle, and charming, making Li An somewhat dumbstruck.
The expression of being dumbfounded was naturally feigned, but in his heart, Li An felt increasingly amazed at how shrewd Lady Yi was. Despite having demonic seedlings within him and two strands of primordial spirit in her control, she still employed such evil skills to link his life to hers.
In this way, even if Li An truly had any ulterior motives, he would have to stop, or else face mutual destruction.
If it weren’t for Li An being more cunning, having used Chen Ning’s primordial spirit as a fake replacement, he truly would have been squeezed to death in her hands.
"What, do you not wish to, you dead ghost?"
Lady Yi smirked inwardly, seeing Li An’s expression, knowing she had grasped him firmly, felt even more at ease.
"I do, I do... Madam, you must succeed, you must succeed!"
Li An spoke tensely and earnestly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"There’s nothing you need to do, just protect here for me. Especially during the blood reconstruction, when a strand of my soul enters the new body, you need to fortify the new body for me, or it may easily collapse!"
After advising, Lady Yi began refining the flesh and blood before her into a blood body.
Much of this blood food came from immortals by Yi Lingwei’s side, and some from Nanfu Island, all of which contained abundant life essence and were untouched by the strange. Lady Yi refined it into a shell to nurture her new strand of soul severed from her past and reborn.
Once her new strand of soul grows strong and filled with vitality, she can emerge to find a suitable practitioner to possess. Alternatively, she may directly transcend the Immortal Tribulation with her primordial spirit, become an immortal, and then reform her body.
In any case, the rebirth of this entirely new soul strand is of utmost importance.
And also the most dangerous juncture.
Lady Yi and Li An spent a full thirty years crafting the body, only succeeding at the end, and another twenty years nurturing it, a total of fifty years passing.
Lady Yi began adjusting her state.
Ten years later.
"Husband, I am about to shed the old and take on the new—"
On this day, Lady Yi solemnly spoke while sitting cross-legged in a coffin.
"Alright!"
Li An, a bit nervous, carefully set the forged flesh body into the coffin, a body identical in size to Lady Yi’s.
Lady Yi lay down, her nose brushing gently against the body, face to face.
After her new strand of soul comes into being, it would immediately shift into this body.
"Husband, come in and support this new body for me."
Li An climbed into the coffin, lying behind the body.
The copper-horned golden coffin was spacious, able to accommodate the two through countless battles on usual days without issue. At present, it was no different. Li An placed his hands on the new body’s back, channeling spiritual power that coursed over the new body.
Lady Yi took a deep breath, ready to commence the blood reconstruction, yet felt inexplicably uneasy, suddenly saying, "Husband?"
Li An replied, "Madam?"
"It’s nothing..."
Lady Yi said nothing more, closed her eyes, and began the blood reconstruction!
As Li An channeled spiritual power to sustain the new body, he nervously watched Lady Yi, her delicate body trembling, with strange energy occasionally emerging, as if a child was struggling to burst from its mother’s dead body.
The process was exceedingly slow, until the second year, when her body was nearly splitting apart and a flaming primordial spirit almost burst out from the Spirit Platform, but was immediately pulled back by the weird aura.
"Ah..."
She let out a painful, harrowing scream, as the flame of the primordial spirit on her forehead became exceedingly faint, almost flicking out at any moment.
