Chapter 367 The Other Half of the Jade Pendant
The morning light had not yet penetrated the clouds, and the eastern sky was only a hint of paleness.
Chen Jingyuan heard a rapid knock on the door in his sleep, and the sound was like a blunt object hitting his temple.
"Yuan'er! Wake up!" Chen Qingfeng's voice was filled with unprecedented panic: "Your mother didn't wake up the whole night!"
Chen Jingyuan suddenly lifted the brocade quilt and stepped barefoot on the cold gold brick floor.
The chill ran up his spine from the soles of his feet, but he didn't care at all. He just put on his outer robe and opened the door. He saw two dark circles under his father's eyes, and the buttons on the front of his brocade robe were fastened incorrectly.
"It's been a day and a night!" Chen Jingyuan's voice tightened. "After my mother was treated by my sister, her body has been in a bad shape. In addition, she takes the ninth-grade spirit-gathering pill given by my sister every day. Logically..."
Before he could finish his words, the father and son had already hurried across the corridor.
"boom--"
The moment they pushed open the door, an invisible wave of air rushed towards them.
Chen Jingyuan felt as if his chest was hit by a thousand-pound hammer, and he flew backwards, with his back hitting the ginkgo tree in the courtyard heavily.
Golden leaves fell, and a few of them stuck to his sweaty forehead.
"This is..." Chen Qingfeng barely used his spiritual power to steady his body, but three cracks appeared on the cuffs of his brocade robe.
I saw colorful rays of light circulating in the bedroom. Those rays of light seemed to be substantial, casting strange spots of light on the sandalwood screen.
Wang Muyun lay quietly in the middle of the bed, surrounded by a glass-like halo, as if she were a fairy sealed in crystal.
"Mu Yun!" The emperor's voice trembled for the first time.
He tried to get closer again, but was bounced back by a rainbow-like light curtain, and a burning pain suddenly came from his fingertips.
Chen Jingyuan struggled to get up, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. He staggered to the window, tears blurring his vision: "Mother! Please answer my son's call!"
He pounded the light curtain frantically, and his knuckles soon became bloody.
The rainbow of light suddenly blazed brightly, painting the entire courtyard a dreamlike hue. Sparrows in the treetops took flight in fright, leaving messy trails in the air.
Meanwhile, the morning mist over the border wasteland had not yet dissipated.
Wang Xinyao suddenly woke up in the marching tent, and felt a severe burning sensation on the ring finger of her left hand.
She looked down and saw that the invisible ring that she never took off was glowing. The colorful light penetrated her skin and flesh, illuminating the inside of the tent like a dream.
“This is…” She subconsciously tried to hide the vision, but found that the ring refused to hide.
In a hurry, she pulled the cloak to wrap her palms, and the cashmere fabric was burned with several charred holes.
When her consciousness sank into the ring space, the originally static storage space was undergoing drastic changes.
The jade boxes containing elixirs exploded one after another, and various weapons were suspended in the air, buzzing.
The most shocking thing was the phoenix jade pendant from the Miao emperor. It broke free from the shackles of the brocade bag and turned into a golden phoenix with wings spread out, ready to fly.
“clang——”
The clear sound of the phoenix made the entire space tremble.
The golden phoenix suddenly rushed towards her eyebrows. Before Wang Xinyao could react, she felt a warm force piercing through the top of her head.
"Ah!" Wang Xinyao knelt on the ground with her head in her hands, her spiritual power leaking out uncontrollably.
Her cultivation began to rise rapidly, and the bottleneck of the Martial Emperor Realm was easily broken through like paper.
When the severe pain subsided a little, Wang Xinyao discovered that there was a phantom in the space.
It was a woman who looked similar to her, except that she had a hideous scar on her left cheek that extended from her brow to the corner of her mouth.
“I am you.” The shadow spoke, its scar moving like a centipede. “We were meant to be one.”
Wang Xinyao retreated cautiously, her back hitting the fog wall at the edge of the space.
She could feel an unfamiliar spiritual power in her body, blending with her own original power.
His cultivation level continued to soar, and in a blink of an eye he had broken through to the fifth level of the Venerable Realm.
"Are you my original owner before I traveled through time?" she asked tentatively, and suddenly found that her voice had subtly changed, with an unfamiliar hoarseness at the end.
The shadow shook his head, his torn sleeves moving without wind. "No, we are one body, but we have two different souls."
She pointed at Wang Xinyao's heart and said, "To protect us, Mother split her soul. The Phoenix Jade contains our power."
Wang Xinyao looked inward at her dantian and discovered a mini golden phoenix floating above the ocean of spiritual energy.
Every time the golden phoenix flaps its wings, new power flows into the meridians.
His cultivation had already reached the sixth level of the Venerable Realm, but he still showed no signs of stopping.
This situation surprised Wang Xinyao. Wasn’t it said that the jade pendant had already recognized its owner?
How did it enter my body? It even made my cultivation level rise step by step!
"I am you, and you are me! Let's merge!" The shadow's words sounded again.
Wang Xinyao took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew she couldn't continue in this stalemate.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to try to communicate with the shadow.
"What would happen if we merged?" she wondered aloud.
The shadow responded, "You and I are originally one body. After we merge, as long as we find the other half of the jade pendant, we can be promoted to the Saint Realm!"
"Aren't you dead? Why are you here?!"
"As long as you're not dead, I won't really die! Only when our strength is strong enough can we protect the people we want to protect!"
After hearing what the phantom said, Wang Xinyao hesitated.
She thought that there might be unknown dangers in Li Country, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I agree to merge!"
"What should I do?" Wang Xinyao finally stretched out her hands.
The shadow smiled with relief, and its entire body began to decompose into points of light.
Those spots of light were like fireflies on a summer night, gently blending into Wang Xinyao's limbs and body.
As the fusion progressed, the scar on her face appeared and disappeared, and her left eye occasionally flashed with golden light.
"Remember..." The shadow's final voice echoed in the sea of consciousness, "Find the other half of the jade pendant as soon as possible..."
boom!
The pressure from the peak of the Venerable Realm erupted uncontrollably, forming a spiritual power storm with Wang Xinyao as the center.
After a long while, when everything calmed down, Wang Xinyao came out of the ring space.
It seems that the other half of the jade pendant must be found as soon as possible! Thinking of this, her eyes became deeper and more determined.
Thousands of miles away in the capital, the colorful light curtain covering Wang Muyun suddenly fluctuated violently.
Chen Qingfeng keenly noticed that Wang Muyun's eyeballs were moving rapidly under his closed eyelids.
"Yao'er, you are still alive..." The unconscious queen suddenly murmured, and a crystal tear slid across her cheek, reflecting thousands of brilliances in the colorful light.
