After knowing that Xiao Muyang had woken up, everyone's anxious hearts finally settled down, and the heavy atmosphere in the Hou Mansion also dissipated.
A few days later, Xiao Muyang completely recovered from his injuries and finally walked out of the palace.
The moment he stepped out of the palace, his expression couldn't help but freeze there. In front of the palace, he saw four extremely eye-catching figures standing side by side, like a landscape, making the heaven and earth faintly eclipse.
"It's so beautiful." Xiao Muyang praised in his heart, then a smile appeared on his face and he joked: "Are you here to greet me specially?"
"I'm overthinking it. I just came here to see how you are recovering, and I happened to meet you here." Ye Ling replied, looking at Xiao Muyang carefully with her watery eyes, and then said with a smile: "It seems,
Your injury has completely healed."
The women beside Ye Ling are Lin Xiyue, Lin Yi, Ning Lingxi and Bixiao.
"When do you plan to break through?" Lin Xiyue asked. With her eyesight, she could naturally see that Xiao Muyang's cultivation had reached the limit of celestial phenomena, and she was only one step away from breaking through that layer of shackles.
.
As long as Xiao Muyang is willing, he can step into Supreme at any time.
"There is no rush to break the boundary for the time being. Is there any news from the Ten Thousand Demon Islands?" Xiao Muyang asked, his face gradually becoming serious. During the period of recovering from his injuries, he had been worried about the senior Sword God.
Lin Xiyue hesitated for a moment and then replied: "There is news that the master has regained consciousness."
Xiao Muyang's eyes suddenly condensed, and then a smile of great joy appeared on his face. The worries in his heart gradually dissipated. However, Lin Xiyue's next words made the smile on his face suddenly freeze.
"Although people woke up, they paid an extremely heavy price."
When she said this voice, Lin Xiyue's eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, and there was a hint of sadness on her face. Ye Ling, Lin Yi and others next to her also lowered their heads, looking very sad.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Xiao Muyang's heart gradually sank, and he had a vague premonition, and said with a very solemn face: "What is going on?"
After a moment of silence, Lin Xiyue finally spoke: "Master was severely injured by the four Supreme Elders this time, which aggravated the original injury. Almost all the meridians in the body were broken. Even if he was nourished with life force, he could only maintain his vitality.
But my strength... I’m afraid I’m gone.”
Xiao Muyang's face instantly turned pale, and his eyes were full of disbelief, obviously unable to accept this result.
"Impossible!" Xiao Muyang's expression suddenly became extremely firm, with veins appearing on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Senior Sword God is so powerful, it is impossible for those four people to hurt him to this extent!"
Lin Xiyue and others couldn't help but tremble. It was the first time they saw Xiao Muyang showing such an attitude. This incident hit him too hard.
"It's not that they injured Master, but the injuries they left behind back then." Lin Xiyue sighed.
"After so many years, it still has such a big impact?" Xiao Muyang asked with a frown.
"Do you know why Master's cultivation has regressed?" Lin Xiyue asked.
Xiao Muyang looked startled, could there be some inside story?
"Back then, there was an extremely special power contained in that fairy light. Master used many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but it had no effect. He could only rely on his own strength to compete with it. But this was not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, it would be over.
The meridians throughout the body were destroyed by that force, and he died in pain."
Lin Xiyue continued: "In order to control that power, Master explored many ruins and caves, and finally, he found a secret technique."
"That secret technique is called Jue Meridian. It can seal other people's meridians, making them unable to practice."
Speaking of this, Lin Xiyue paused, and after a moment, she slowly said: "Master introduced the power of the fairy light into some meridians, and then used this secret technique to seal those meridians."
"In this way, those powers will only destroy the blocked meridians first, and will not cause harm to other meridians. If some meridians are blocked, the master's cultivation will naturally regress."
When Lin Xiyue's voice came out, Xiao Muyang and others were shaken in their hearts, and their faces were full of horror. The senior sword god used self-harm to control that power!
Thinking of the usually kind-hearted old man, they felt a twinge in their hearts and found it difficult to breathe. It turned out that he had been suffering such pain silently and had never mentioned it to outsiders.
"What will happen if the banned meridians are destroyed?" Xiao Muyang's eyes turned red. It was impossible to control that power just by blocking some meridians. Otherwise, the senior sword god would have resolved it long ago and would not have used it.
Such arrogance.
Looking into Xiao Muyang's eyes, Lin Xiyue slowly lowered her head and uttered a voice: "After being destroyed, continue to seal the meridians."
Xiao Muyang's body stiffened suddenly, and his face became as pale as paper, as if he had fallen into the Nine Nether Hell.
The pretty faces of Lin Yi and others also lost color. Even if they use this method of self-mutilation, it cannot solve the fundamental problem. It just delays the time. In the end, the Sword God will still die.
"According to Master's estimation, he only has more than fifty years left to live, and within these fifty years, that power will not destroy all his meridians, and he can still die." Lin Xiyue said again.
"But in this battle, in order to defeat the four supreme elders, he unlocked the banned meridians and his strength improved a lot. However, he also suffered damage from that power, and all the meridians throughout his body were severely damaged."
"Now, in order to control that power, Master can only seal all the meridians in his body. From now on, he will no longer be able to use any power."
Xiao Muyang clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with regret and guilt.
If he had not asked Senior Sword God to come out of the mountain, he would still be recuperating in the mountains and enjoying his old age. It was he who allowed Senior Sword God to be involved in this turmoil.
If it weren't for saving him, Senior Sword God is fully capable of protecting himself. He doesn't need to break the ban and won't be hurt by that force.
Senior Sword God is what he is today, entirely because of him.
"The Sword God also brought you a message." When Xiao Muyang was immersed in grief, Lin Xiyue said again.
Xiao Muyang raised his head sharply, stared at Lin Xiyue, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"The moment he walked out of the ancient mountain, he was prepared for the worst. You don't need to feel guilty. Practicing hard and reaching the peak of martial arts as soon as possible is the best reward for him."
Lin Xiyue's voice came out slowly. Xiao Muyang was heartbroken and had tears in his eyes. Senior Sword God had paid so much for him, how could he not feel guilty!
