Chapter 507: Chapter 507: King’s Relic

"How can this be?"

Ling Chen collapsed to the ground, helpless and despairing.

He had only just reunited with his father a few days ago!

Why wouldn’t the heavens give them a bit more time?

Ling Wu’s heart was filled with sorrow, tears streaming down her face.

Suddenly, Ling Chen looked towards Ji Wuya, pleading urgently, "Your Majesty, you are a King of the Palace Mansion Realm, surely you must have some way, right?"

Feeling Ling Chen’s hopeful gaze, Ji Wuya sighed and said, "I do have one way."

"What way?"

Ling Chen’s eyes were filled with hope.

Ji Wuya flipped his palm and took out a Jade Bottle, saying, "Inside here is an Elixir. If you administer it to your father, it can extend his life by three months."

"Really?"

Ling Chen was somewhat incredulous.

According to the doctors, his father only had a few days left to live.

Now extending it by three months was enough to solve the urgent issue.

Moreover, in the following time, he could thoroughly seek the world’s best doctors to treat his father.

"Yes."

Ji Wuya nodded, "This Elixir was obtained by me from a Secret Realm."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ling Chen bowed respectfully to Ji Wuya, then administered the Elixir to his father.

"Hmm? What happened to me?"

The Elixir was truly miraculous. In just a short while, Ling Tianxing regained consciousness, his complexion rosy and even his white hair turning to grey.

"Father, it’s alright now, please rest well."

Ling Chen wept with joy.

After making arrangements for his father, Ling Chen went out.

"Your Majesty, thank you so much."

Ling Chen bowed again to Ji Wuya.

"Alright, no need for formalities. You are my Dark Night’s Young Master, your father is also a person of the Dark Night, and moreover, my disciple."

Ji Wuya waved his hand dismissively.

"Your Majesty, your great kindness, Ling Chen will always remember it in his heart."

Ling Chen yet again bowed respectfully.

Ji Wuya had first helped him rescue his father, and now, using the Elixir, temporarily sustained his father’s life.

These two favors, Ling Chen would not forget.

Ji Wuya did not say anything this time.

"Your Majesty, do you know where to find a master healer?"

Ling Chen asked.

His father was temporarily safe, but he could not stay here any longer.

Ji Wuya shook his head, "Ling Chen, don’t take this as discouragement. This kind of life force depletion condition, let alone in Great Xia, even across the entire Qing Province, no one can cure it."

Great Xia Dynasty, Great Chu Dynasty, and several other dynasties were located in a corner of Qing Province.

"How is that possible?"

Ling Chen’s face showed disbelief.

If the Great Xia Dynasty was helpless, that was one thing.

But in Qing Province, it was said there existed emperors surpassing Kings.

How could life force depletion not be curable?

"Even a King with a Life Spirit Body?"

Ling Chen asked.

The Life Energy possessed by a Life Spirit Body was renowned as Healing Holy Medicine.

Moreover, at the King level, the Life Energy would naturally be elevated, its potency far surpassing before.

"No."

Ji Wuya shook his head, "Life Energy can only heal others’ injuries but cannot restore someone else’s life force."

"But..."

Ling Chen was about to speak when Ji Wuya interrupted, "I know what you mean. Indeed, holders of a Life Spirit Body can strip life force from others to enhance themselves. However, it only works on oneself, it can’t transfer life force to another person."

"No, no, impossible!"

Ling Chen shook his head: "There must be a way, there must be!"

He couldn’t bear to imagine what it would be like to lose his father again.

Ji Wuya patted Ling Chen’s shoulder, speaking earnestly: "Ling Chen, I know you don’t believe it. I wouldn’t say this without reason."

"Years ago, I fought a battle with the former King Xia and was seriously injured, unable to heal since. I went to Qingzhou to seek a medical sage. The diagnosis he gave me was that my life source was damaged, and there was no medicine that could cure it."

"What he referred to as the life source is probably the same as life force."

Hearing this, Ling Chen staggered.

"My lord, are you saying you also lost a lot of life force, then that Elixir..."

Ling Chen then realized why Ji Wuya had a strange expression when he gave him that Elixir.

Perhaps, that Elixir was his way to prolong his life?

"No worries, I am a King of the Palace Mansion Realm, my life force is much stronger than that of ordinary people."

Ji Wuya smiled nonchalantly.

"My lord, I am sorry!"

Ling Chen was extremely conflicted.

The latter took out that Elixir, clearly trading life for life.

Using his life in exchange for Ling Chen’s father’s life.

If he had known, he definitely would not have accepted that Elixir.

"Come on, why all the fuss?"

Ji Wuya scolded with a smile.

"How much longer do you have?"

Ling Chen asked.

Now, he finally understood why the competition for the position of Young Master was so abrupt!

It seems Ji Wuya doesn’t have much time left.

"Rest assured, I can live until next year without problems."

Ji Wuya chuckled.

Hearing this, Ling Chen finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

There should still be about four months until next year.

Ji Wuya and his father needed the same thing.

Thus, he still had time to secure some chance at life for both.

"My lord, rest assured, I will do everything in my power to find a way to prolong life for you."

Ling Chen said with unwavering determination.

One was his father, the other was the man who had saved his father’s life multiple times. How could he just watch them both perish?

Looking at the young man’s resolute expression, Ji Wuya stared at Ling Chen, seriously saying: "Ling Chen, do you really want to go out and find a way to prolong life for your father?"

"Yes!"

Ling Chen nodded vigorously: "My lord, do you have any leads?"

Ji Wuya said: "If it were just me alone, I would never let you take the risk!"

"Please enlighten me, my lord!"

Ling Chen insisted.

Ji Wuya had once even gone to Qingzhou to treat his injuries, so he was rather knowledgeable about these matters.

"Alright!"

Ji Wuya nodded: "Ling Chen, do you know why I was promoted to the Palace Mansion Realm?"

He did not mention anything related to life force but instead brought up his cultivation.

"I don’t know."

Ling Chen shook his head.

Ji Wuya, not possessing a Sacred Body and in the resource-depleated Great Xia Dynasty, found it extremely difficult to ascend to the Palace Mansion Realm.

From the entire Great Xia Dynasty and even in adjacent dynasties, it could be seen.

There were many holders of top-tier Super Spiritual Bodies.

However, there were only few Kings of the Palace Mansion Realm.

"You are a Sacred Body, just cultivate diligently and becoming a King of the Palace Mansion Realm is just a matter of time. But we are different, we are Spiritual Bodies. If you are in Qingzhou City, with strong individuals and experts to guide you, Spiritual Body holders have a much higher chance to ascend to the Palace Mansion Realm. But here, in the Great Xia Dynasty, it’s nearly impossible."

"However, I still ascended to the Palace Mansion Realm. King of Xia Jiuyou’s father is also a holder of a top-tier Super Spiritual Body, he succeeded as well, even kings of Great Chu, Great Qin ascended as Kings with their Spiritual Bodies."

"Because, we went to a Secret Realm, almost all Kings around ascended there."

Ji Wuya smiled: "That place is called King’s Relic."
