Bab 155: Seeking to Marry Xun'er!
"Hopefully, everything goes smoothly!"
Unlike the optimistic Zhu Li, Gu Fei, who had been confident before, now frowned slightly.
At this moment, he did not dare to relax at all.
He understood that the energy contained in the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was terrifying, comparable to the full Dou Qi of a Four-Star Dou Saint. Absorbing it would not be easy for Ziyan.
Currently, Ziyan was only absorbing the outermost layer.
Sure enough, after absorbing some of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit's energy, the overflowing energy not only failed to decrease but instead erupted again!
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound from within Ziyan's body, her entire being was enveloped in purple and golden energy.
In fact, this energy had already liquefied, seeping out and flowing between Ziyan's flesh.
Her body could no longer withstand such a large amount of energy, leading to the overflow.
"The overflowing energy is crystallizing!"
Qing Lin suddenly exclaimed in surprise, feeling that Ziyan's arm had already started to solidify.
"If she can't absorb the energy in time, she'll end up sealed within it, like an insect in amber!"
Gu Fei's expression turned extremely grave.
Ziyan's face flickered between expressions, and the once-smiling girl now showed signs of pain. The surging energy within her was nearly tearing her body apart.
"In the past, there have been a few instances of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, but historically, it has only been successfully absorbed twice!" (TL/n: And you didn't think of telling this very important piece of information before she started refining the fruit??!!)
Zhu Li frowned deeply, filled with worry.
"The success rate of absorbing this thing is so low?!"
Upon hearing this, Cai Lin looked at Zhu Li in shock, then turned to Ziyan, her eyes filled with concern.
"Of those two times, one was when the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan obtained it, successfully absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and giving birth to a super-strong individual. During that time, our Ancient Void Dragon Clan was suppressed by them. However, a few hundred years later, our Ancient Void Dragon Clan also successfully obtained a Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit."
"Our clan's predecessor successfully absorbed it, thus regaining the upper hand. Unfortunately, in a subsequent blood war between the two clans, the two super-bloodline individuals perished together…"
Reflecting on the records of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's history, Zhuli began to doubt himself.
He glanced at the pained Ziyan before him and regretted allowing her to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit now. It was perhaps too early for her to handle such a treasure.
Gu Fei noticed Zhu Li's concern and reassured him, "Elder Zhu Li, there's no need to worry! Since I dared to let Ziyan refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit now, it's because I'm fully confident!"
With that, Gu Fei immediately sat cross-legged behind Ziyan, placing his hands on her back. His different flames appeared, enveloping Ziyan.
His flames, a fusion of the Green Lotus Core Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, and Three Thousand Burning Flame, were powerful enough to refine the crystallized Dragon Phoenix energy.
With him present, there was no need to fear that Ziyan would be encased by the crystallized energy, nor was there a need to worry about the excess energy causing her to explode.
He was Ziyan's final line of defense.
Gu Fei extended his soul power, focusing intently and controlling the temperature of the flames with precision.
He ensured that the temperature wouldn't harm Ziyan while aiding her in refining the already solidified Dragon Phoenix energy.
This required extreme control over the flames, and even Gu Fei needed to concentrate fully.
With Gu Fei's help, the crystallized energy would liquefy again and, at the right moment, return to Ziyan's body, reintegrating into her flesh.
During the process of helping Ziyan absorb the energy, some of it naturally became refined by the flames and absorbed by Gu Fei.
Gu Fei had no intention of stealing Ziyan's opportunity, but the excess energy was too much.
If all of it remained in Ziyan's body, it would only cause her extreme pain.
Absorbing a portion of it wouldn't harm Ziyan and would relieve her burden. Besides, for him, the Dragon Phoenix Source Fruit's energy was also a valuable opportunity.
"With Big Brother's help, Ziyan's complexion looks much better now."
Qing Lin worried about Ziyan.
"Mom, will Sister Ziyan be okay?"
Xian Yue, who was lying in Xiao Yi Xian's arms, also worried about Ziyan after hearing the conversation.
"Don't worry, Ziyan will be fine. Don't you see that your father is helping?"
"With your father around, any trouble can be solved…"
Xiao Yi Xian gently patted her head to reassure her.
At this moment, the terrifying and pure energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit continued to surge on Gu Fei's mountain.
"Hmm? The Ancient Void Dragon Tribe's aura… No, there's also the Ancient Heaven Phoenix!"
Deep within the Gu Sacred Mountain Range, in a palace, the Black Submerged King Gu Lie, sensed the energy and immediately traced its source, discovering it was coming from his grandson's mountain.
He knew Gu Fei had a friend from the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe, and with some curiosity, Gu Lie approached the mountain and witnessed Gu Fei helping Ziyan refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
"What pure energy… This is an incredible opportunity!"
Gu Lie observed Ziyan, even as someone of his stature, he couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying energy within her.
"Indeed, and this is an opportunity unique to the magical beast clans."
Suddenly, a voice rang out beside Gu Lie as a floating figure appeared. It was Gu Yuan, who had also sensed the anomaly and had come to investigate.
"This little girl is bound for extraordinary achievements. Her close bond with Gu Fei is also a blessing for our Gu Clan."
Gu Lie smiled and nodded.
...
Back on Gu Fei's mountain.
Even with his assistance, the refining process still took a long time. The sheer energy consumption was overwhelming, even for someone of Gu Fei's ability.
Fortunately, Gu Fei had many recovery pills on hand.
He constantly took pills during the process to sustain his flames.
The entire process lasted over a month before the surging energy in Ziyan's body finally stabilized.
Gu Fei's burden lessened significantly, and he had also gained a lot during the month of assisting Ziyan. He felt that he was just a step away from reaching the Nine-Star Dou Venerate.
If he wished, he could even step across that threshold immediately.
"Is it over?"
Zhu Li noticed Gu Fei's expression was no longer as tense, and Ziyan's aura had calmed considerably, so he asked.
"Ziyan still needs some time before she fully awakens, but there shouldn't be any more issues."
Gu Fei exhaled deeply.
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness struck him. Over the past few days, he had been extremely tense, and he was exhausted not only in terms of Dou Qi but also in terms of mental energy.
While Dou Qi could be replenished with pills, his soul needed natural rest.
...
Meanwhile, within the Gu Realm, a delegation from the Lei Clan arrived.
The Lei Clan sent seven members, including two elders whose strength had reached the Dou Saint level.
The other five were young people.
The leader of the young group was named Lei Dong. Although he was only about thirty years old, his cultivation had already reached the Half-Saint level.
He was undoubtedly far superior to his peers!
The Lei Clan's purpose for coming was simple: to propose marriage. They wished for Lei Dong to marry the Gu Clan Leader's daughter, Xun'er.
