Gui Yuanzi took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly, then took out a light cocoon from the jade box and gently placed it into the jade pool.
The light cocoon floated above the spiritual spring water, its purple-gold light mingling with the clear light of the spring water, like the surface of a lake sparkling under the morning light.
Qingqiu put the Immortal Spirit Wood into the jade pool. The Soul Wood sank into the water, slowly melting and turning into countless tiny golden light spots, which floated in the spiritual spring water like fireflies.
Those golden light spots seemed to have a life of their own, gathering towards the light cocoon and sticking to its surface, coating its top.
The light cocoon began to change. What was originally just a simple ball of light now had fine lines appearing on its surface, like the blood vessels of a human body or cracks in the earth.
The lines spread outward from the center of the cocoon, each glowing faintly and emitting warm heat.
Gui Yuanzi knelt at the edge of the Jade Pool, his hands clasped together, his lips trembling non-stop.
Her eyes were red and swollen, tears welling up, but she didn’t dare let them fall, for fear of disturbing the young master.
Qingqiu stood to the side, wearing snow-white clothes and long, jet-black hair.
His gaze never left the jade pond, his yellow eyes reflecting the light of the cocoon.
His hands were hanging at his sides, clenched into fists, his nails digging into his palms, but he felt no pain.
The light cocoon remained floating in the jade pond for three days and three nights.
On the first day, the outline of bones appears on the surface of the cocoon.
Each strand, as white as jade and as hard as steel, moved from blurry to clear, from nothingness to tangible existence.
The bones slowly grew and fused in the golden light of the Great Luo Golden Scripture, forming a complete human skeleton.
Gui Yuanzi calculated it; there were exactly two hundred and six of them, neither more nor less, each emitting a faint purple spiritual light.
Qingqiu’s eyebrows relaxed slightly.
Reshaping the framework is the most important step; only when the bones are stable can the meridians and flesh grow smoothly.
The next day, blood vessels begin to grow on the skeleton inside the cocoon.
One by one, like golden rivers, they spread out and intertwined between the bones, connecting every inch of their bodies.
The golden light of the Great Luo Golden Scripture shone through the light cocoon into the meridians, making the patterns clearly visible.
Gui Yuanzi recognized several main meridians—the Ren and Du meridians, twelve ordinary meridians, and eight extraordinary meridians—each of which was wider and stronger than any other cultivator he had ever seen.
“Mediera Young Master is even stronger than before his physical body was destroyed.” Gui Yuanzi’s voice trembled, but it was a tremor of excitement.
Qingqiu nodded without saying a word.
A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes—a glimmer of hope.
On the third day, flesh and blood began to grow.
Inch by inch, as red as twilight, it covered the bones and meridians, wrapping the entire body into a complete human form.
Muscles, skin, and hair were all formed, every inch containing powerful strength.
The golden light of the Great Luo Golden Scripture combined with the golden light dots of the Immortal Spirit Wood, forming a mysterious pattern on the surface of the body—the protective rune of the Daoist sect.
The light from the cocoon grew brighter and illuminated the entire side passage.
The demon warriors and cultivators of various races outside the hall couldn’t help turning their heads. Some whispered among themselves, some clasped their hands in prayer, and some gripped their weapons tightly—they knew that their young master was being reborn.
Guiyuanzi knelt by the Jade Pool for three days and three nights without closing his eyes or drinking water.
His lips were chapped and his face was pale, but his eyes were shining brightly, as bright as the stars in the night.
Qingqiu stood beside him, never leaving him.
Her white dress was stained with spiritual spring water, and her hair was a little messy, but she didn’t care at all.
On the morning of the fourth day, the first rays of sunlight filtered in through the windows of the side hall.
The light cocoon cracked and opened.
There was no sound, no loud noise, only tiny cracks appeared on the surface of that light cocoon.
The crack stretched from top to bottom like a golden thread, splitting the light cocoon in half.
Guiyuanzi’s breathing stopped.
Golden light burst out from the cracks, sweeping across the side hall like a tidal wave.
The light was warm and strong, carrying an indescribable power that was neither pure spiritual power nor pure divine soul power, but rather a perfect blend of the two.
Then, the light cocoon shattered completely.
David stood in the jade pool, completely naked, his body emitting a faint purple spiritual light.
His skin was as smooth as jade, his muscles were clearly visible, and every muscle possessed extraordinary strength.
Her hair was pitch black, flowing down to her shoulders, and swaying gently under the light.
Her eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was having a very long dream.
The golden light of the Great Luo Golden Scripture flowed around him, blending perfectly with his new physical body.
Golden and purple light intertwined, forming mysterious patterns on his body. This was the Daoist sect’s protective rune and the mark of the Great Luo Golden Scripture that recognized its master.
