Chapter 464: Chapter 307: Ten Thousand Years Ago

This....

Xu Yuan’s blood-red pupils stared intently at the woman’s face, his mind instantly flooded with numerous disjointed thoughts.

The woman in front of him, who seemed to be sleeping—or rather, the female corpse—had a face almost identical to the cold and noble countenance of ’Luo Xiran’ when she first appeared.

However, upon closer inspection,

compared to the ghostified Luo Xiran above, the eyebrows and eyes of the female corpse in front of him lacked a few strands of sharp coldness, instead possessing a bit more gentle softness, like water.

Xu Yuan was certain that the woman appearing before his eyes had never been mentioned in the Cangyuan Chronicles.

Indeed, the ’Luo Xiran’ above had utilized the editing ability of ghostification to craft for herself a human shell with nearly perfect proportions, but in the end, it was still a mass of flesh composed of blood and meat.

And the dignified female corpse sitting cross-legged before him...

Although not wearing a stitch of clothing, the gentle softness like water about her made one feel no impulse to defile her.

A Saint’s body.

When the amount of information exceeded his control, Xu Yuan was not certain whether the appearance of this female corpse Luo Xiran was a good or bad thing.

Xu Yuan hesitated, his hand gently resting on the bare skin of her shoulder.

"Gurgle gurgle....."

The touch was ice-cold and smooth, and a trail of bubbles rose from where their skins met towards the surface of the blood pool.

Threads of Life Origin flowed from his fingertips into the female corpse, but there was no reaction whatsoever.

It could not enter, even if he tried to force it, it wouldn’t go in.

It seemed as if the female corpse’s body had a strong repulsion towards the Life Origin of a ghostified being.

Not a body of a ghostified being....

After a bit of contemplation, Xu Yuan decided to test with Origin Qi instead.

As cultivators grew in strength and their bodies were constantly nourished by Origin Qi, the bodies of Third Grade Great Masters could remain incorrupt after death for a hundred years. The fact that this female corpse Luo Xiran had stayed intact for ten thousand years clearly indicated she had been a Saint while alive.

Moreover, it was clear that this female corpse had an intricate connection to the ghost queen above.

It was even possible that the ghost above was a contingency plan after her death.

The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity.

If he could awaken her and forge a good relationship, asking a Saint to return with him, would his father just stand by the next time Xu Changge tried to make a move against him?

With that thought, Xu Yuan immediately began to channel the Blood Essence Meteoring Art to mobilize the Origin Qi, only to realize that his body had completely undergone ghostification.

Ghostification doesn’t simply transform the body but also changes how the body uses energy.

Just like in the past life, you can’t use a USB to plug into a type-C port.

Naturally, a ghostified being wouldn’t use Origin Qi in combat. The battle with the Barbarian King had resulted in the complete conversion of the Origin Qi within Xu Yuan’s body to the Life Origin used by ghostified beings.

Extruding even a drop of Origin Qi was considerably difficult.

But it didn’t matter.

He had Elixir Medicine, and there was Origin Qi within the elixir, to be refined...

As he thought this, Xu Yuan prepared to readily spend money to obtain medicine, only to realize that the Sumeru Ring on his fingertip had vanished.

Tsk, it seemed he had left his entire wealth in the hands of Li Qingyan’s housekeeper earlier. He definitely had to reclaim everything once he got back up there.

Decades of millions of taels of silver—if he were to revert to Mortal Transcendence Cultivation after taking the antidote, and if the Wrapped Chest Princess reasserted her family authority and confiscated his money, he would have nowhere to cry.

While considering his options, Xu Yuan had already begun to refine the few strands of scattered and diluted Origin Qi around him with the Blood Essence Meteoring Art.

True to its name, the Blood Essence Meteoring Art, even in the midst of the Origin Qi’s extreme dilution within the blood pool, was still able to sponge out a portion for absorption into his body,

Before this incorporated Origin Qi automatically transformed into Life Origin, Xu Yuan promptly injected it into the female corpse before him.

Unlike the Life Origin of ghostified beings,

this time, Xu Yuan’s Origin Qi entered the female corpse without any hindrance.

Time silently passed as Xu Yuan continuously refined and injected the scattered Origin Qi from the surrounding air.

As he went deeper, a serious expression gradually settled on Xu Yuan’s face.

Although he had no experience in delving into the body of a Saint, it was known that no matter the cause of death, be it battle or natural, the body would often retain some damage.

After a complete cycle of Origin Qi around the corpse, he astonishingly found no signs of battle within the woman’s body—intact as if willingly... willingly allowing the will-spirit to leave the body?

At this thought, Xu Yuan realized something and suddenly looked up towards the space above the blood pool.

That ghost named Luo Xiran couldn’t possibly be...

"Dah."

His train of thought abruptly cut off.

Without any warning, Xu Yuan suddenly found his wrist, which was resting on the female corpse’s shoulder, grasped by an icily piercing hand.

"...." Xu Yuan.

Fuck!

’Bang!’

With a forceful stomp at his feet, Xu Yuan vanished in the blink of an eye, reappearing several meters away.

Looking back with a grave expression toward the female corpse, she remained composed, sitting quietly in the blood pool, surrounded by a serene atmosphere, maintaining the same posture she had for ten thousand years.

It was as if everything that had just occurred was an illusion, and nothing had happened in reality....

Of course, Xu Yuan naturally didn’t think this was the case.

While he might not be as experienced as those true Transcendent Mortals, his physical condition was clear.

He was acutely aware that what had just happened was not an illusion, and now he held something extra in his hand.

"......"

Licking the corner of his mouth, Xu Yuan soon cracked a smile.

He realized that these ancient artifacts seemed quite fond of leaving their marks on others; the embodiment of the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree, Yuchu, did so, and this ten-thousand-year-old female corpse was no exception.

Of course, there were significant differences.

Yuchu was alive at the time, directly using the body of the Divine Sakura Tree to forcefully imprint her Enchantress mark into his body.

Whereas this female corpse seemed to have left behind a sort of triggered spellcraft in her body, meant to be enacted upon her death, and did not affect his body itself but rather utilized the medium of the Black Death Bacterial Armor.
