Chapter 111: Chapter 111 He didn’t die

"Sister Ruyan, as far as I know, Brother Chuyun has been in seclusion all this time. How did he know about Xu Da’s matter? Is it because you told him?" Zhang Zongyan pursued.

Feng Ruyan nodded.

"Feng Ruyan, what can I say? How could you upset him like this? It’s no wonder he’s so furious."

"Sigh..."

Zhang Zongyan let out a long sigh.

"What? If that’s the case, wouldn’t I have brought harm to our senior brother?" Feng Ruyan’s nose turned sour as she started to cry.

Seeing this, Zhang Shouqing comforted, "Sister Ruyan, don’t be sad. This is Brother Chuyun’s destiny."

"Then why is he so discontented?" Feng Ruyan asked with tears in her voice.

"Sister Ruyan, do you know how much spiritual energy is needed for cultivators at our level to advance even a single realm?" Zhang Shouqing asked.

Feng Ruyan shook her head.

Zhang Shouqing continued, "Sister Ruyan, you must know that before the spiritual energy resurgence, if Brother Chuyun forced his cultivation to advance, it would have drained all the spiritual energy of Huaxia completely. All living things depend on the nourishment of spiritual energy. Brother Chuyun has always cared for all beings. How could he selfishly enhance his cultivation at the cost of turning Huaxia into desolate wastelands? His discontent stems from lamenting that he wasn’t born in a better era."

Feng Ruyan suddenly realized, "I vaguely remember, a century ago, our senior brother said he could advance to the Emergence Stage at any time. But now that spiritual energy has resuscitated, why didn’t he enhance his cultivation but chose to die in silence instead?"

Zhang Zongyan replied helplessly, "Sister Ruyan, I only found out about the spiritual energy resurgence after emerging from seclusion. Brother Chuyun has been in seclusion for a century. How could he know the changes in the world? I suppose you didn’t tell him when you found him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to give up his life."

"Ah..."

"It’s all my fault for causing senior brother’s death."

"Boo-hoo..."

Feng Ruyan cried aloud.

"Sigh..."

Zhang Shouqing let out a long sigh and lowered his head in silence.

Upon hearing Feng Ruyan’s cries, Zhang Zongyan also felt uneasy.

Yan Rufeng never thought such a righteous person existed in the world. Cultivation inherently meant challenging the heavens for one’s destiny. What Immortal Chuyun did truly earned Yan Rufeng’s deep respect.

"Your senior brother isn’t dead," Yan Rufeng said flatly.

"What?"

Zhang Zongyan, Zhang Shouqing, and Feng Ruyan asked in astonishment.

"Lord, is what you say true?" Zhang Zongyan was the first to inquire.

Yan Rufeng nodded.

Zhang Shouqing questioned, "Lord, you haven’t seen Brother Chuyun. How do you know he isn’t dead?"

Yan Rufeng didn’t elaborate, merely saying, "There’s still time if you hurry. Otherwise, even the Daluo Immortal couldn’t save Brother Chuyun."

Zhang Shouqing hurriedly said, "What are we waiting for? Let’s go save him quickly."

Zhang Zongyan quickly added, "Lord, please lift the restriction on Sister Ruyan. Only she knows Brother Chuyun’s whereabouts."

Without hesitation, Yan Rufeng lifted the spiritual energy restriction on Feng Ruyan.

"Senior brother is in a cave on Emei Duanqing Cliff. Senior brothers, follow me quickly." Feng Ruyan took off into the sky, disappearing instantly above Dragon Abyss Sect.

Zhang Zongyan came before Yan Rufeng, cupping his hands, "Lord, we ask you to accompany us to rescue Brother Chuyun."

"Time is of the essence. I’ll go with you immediately to Emei Duanqing Cliff."

As soon as Yan Rufeng finished speaking, he vanished before Zhang Zongyan...

The mountains of Emei were as beautiful as ever, with the undulating peaks glittering golden in the sunset, appearing exceptionally magnificent.

Following closely behind Feng Ruyan, Yan Rufeng arrived at a sheer cliff where Feng Ruyan stopped.

"Brother Chuyun is in that cave next to the pine tree."

With a complex expression, Feng Ruyan pointed to a towering ancient pine and said.

A solitary old pine stood proudly on the high cliff, having weathered countless storms over a thousand years, witnessing all manner of splendid scenery. Yet, who could have imagined that a single sentence, a seemingly trivial matter, could deprive a determined strong person of the will to live?

Inside the cave, an old man in gray robes sat peacefully on a stone bed. Zhang Zongyan approached, placing his fingers under the old man’s nostrils, then slowly said, "Brother Chuyun has indeed lost his breath."

Yan Rufeng stated calmly, "He’s in a state of feigned death."

"How can you tell?" Zhang Zongyan asked skeptically.

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly, "Try using your Divine Sense to check if there’s a Nascent Soul in his Dantian."

Zhang Zongyan used his Divine Sense to examine, then retracted it, puzzled, "Lord, Brother Chuyun’s Dantian hosts a Nascent Soul with closed eyes, sitting cross-legged. It’s hard to tell if he’s alive or dead."

"When a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, if they don’t enhance their cultivation to the Emergence Stage before their time is up, they enter a state of dissipating energy. Their lifespan will end as all their spiritual energy depletes, and naturally, no Nascent Soul would remain within them," Yan Rufeng explained.

Zhang Shouqing exclaimed, "Lord, this indicates Brother Chuyun isn’t truly dead. If he were, there wouldn’t be a Nascent Soul inside him."

Hearing that Immortal Chuyun wasn’t dead, Feng Ruyan’s spirits lifted instantly, "Since senior brother isn’t dead, how do we wake him up?"

Yan Rufeng said gently, "Immortal Chuyun sealed his spiritual pathways and meridians to avoid enhancing his cultivation. Now, we only need to use spiritual energy simultaneously to unblock his meridians and spiritual pathways, and he will naturally awaken."

"Ha ha..."

Zhang Zongyan laughed, "That’s not hard. Leave unblocking Brother Chuyun’s spiritual pathways and meridians to Shouqing and me."

"Immortal Chuyun has really been through a lot. Let’s awaken him now," Yan Rufeng said.

Zhang Zongyan and Zhang Shouqing sat down on either side of Immortal Chuyun.

Zhang Zongyan activated his Inner Cultivation Method solemnly, "Shouqing, are you ready?"

Zhang Shouqing nodded.

The two of them began injecting spiritual energy into Immortal Chuyun in a careful and orderly manner. When they unblocked the final spiritual pathway and meridian, something unexpected happened.

Zhang Zongyan exclaimed urgently, "No, I feel my spiritual energy draining quickly."

Zhang Shouqing said anxiously, "Me too."

Yan Rufeng shouted, "Stay calm, both of you. This must be the precursor to Brother Chuyun’s breakthrough."

"What? Brother Chuyun is about to break through?" the two of them exclaimed.

Yan Rufeng became stern, "Immortal Chuyun’s cultivation technique is now autonomously absorbing external spiritual energy to enhance his cultivation. At this moment, you must never stop, or Immortal Chuyun will surely become possessed by the Devil."

"What do we do? If Brother Chuyun continues absorbing spiritual energy like this, both Shouqing and my spiritual energy will be exhausted," Zhang Zongyan broke into a cold sweat.

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly, "Have you seen this?"

Zhang Zongyan saw a luminous stone in Yan Rufeng’s hand and exclaimed, "A high-level spirit stone."

Yan Rufeng replied, "This is a top-grade spirit stone. Three of these should be enough for Immortal Chuyun to successfully break through to the Emergence Stage."

Yan Rufeng flicked three top-grade spirit stones, instantly forming a Spirit Gathering Array around Immortal Chuyun.

As soon as the array was set, spiritual energy from within a radius of a hundred miles gushed into the cave.

Seeing this, Yan Rufeng instructed, "Zhang Zongyan, Zhang Shouqing, you two should now operate your cultivation techniques to absorb the spiritual energy from the array, replenishing the spiritual energy being drained from within you. Under no circumstances should you stop until Immortal Chuyun has successfully broken through."
