Chapter 983: Chapter 983

As for the Spirit Boat...

Nanli didn’t rush to go back. Instead, she rummaged around for tools: "I can fix it!"

Who on earth had broken the activation device of the Spirit Boat?

This was the only large Spirit Boat in the Immortal World!

Seeing her, heavily pregnant and holding tools to repair the boat, the others were all shocked.

"Uh... isn’t this a bit too urgent?"

"Yeah, you were just in pain and fell to the ground a moment ago. You should go back and get checked, and rest properly."

"A’Li, don’t be silly. Let me fix it! I’ll do it!"

Siheng looked at her with almost fearful eyes.

A’Li used to be less stubborn; clearly, the pregnancy was affecting her temperament.

However, no matter how much her personality changed, he could understand and tolerate it.

Nanli blinked and looked at Siheng with disdain: "Do you even know how to fix it? You don’t seem very skilled at this, do you?"

"I’ll learn," Siheng pleaded, almost talking himself hoarse before he finally persuaded Nanli to give up on fixing the boat and return to the Jialan Joy Spring Platform.

Ximen Chuan had already taken Yun Jianchu back and was waiting there.

He looked at the couple, speechless for a moment.

Their approach was indeed simple and brutal.

But it had to be said, it was effective.

Yun Jianchu felt both guilty and worried, her eyes red with tears as she threw herself into Yun Yubai’s arms and cried, "Xiao Bai, it’s all my fault. I’m the one who made you suffer so much today."

"Mother, I’m fine," Yun Yubai smiled and comforted her. "Now that my identity is out in the open, I actually feel a lot lighter."

He wasn’t used to living cautiously and being on guard all the time.

Yun Jianchu wanted to say more, but Cinian interrupted: "Celestial Sovereign, did you just fight with Shang Jue? How did it go?"

Everyone looked at Siheng.

They hadn’t had the chance to ask while they were down the mountain.

Siheng replied, "She’s dead."

Cinian’s lips trembled with excitement.

Who among them didn’t admire and revere Siheng’s strength?

Especially the members of the Seven Peaks Sect—Shang Jue was the instigator, and now hearing of her death, they felt a great sense of relief, as if their injuries had healed significantly.

Ximen Chuan asked further, "Does she have any accomplices?"

"I’m not quite sure about that," Siheng said. "But the Sky-Slaying Axe is now in my possession."

Upon hearing the first part, everyone felt that the matter might not be over yet. But when they heard that the Sky-Slaying Axe had been obtained, their excitement grew.

Shang Jue’s formidable power was largely due to the Sky-Slaying Axe.

Now that Siheng had the Sky-Slaying Axe, things would be much easier. Even if another Demon Clan member appeared in the future, without a powerful magical weapon, their strength would be limited and easier to deal with.

Siheng continued, "Patriarch Li and the others are seriously injured. Let’s first arrange accommodations for them and treat their injuries one by one."

Qing Feng was usually in charge of such trivial matters.

Siheng glanced around and asked, "Where’s Qing Feng?"

Yun Jianchu replied, "Did you forget? He’s kneeling on the back mountain."

"..." Siheng had indeed forgotten.

He used a Telestone to call for him.

Qing Feng was extremely excited: "Celestial Sovereign, I’m coming right away! Ouch—Celestial Sovereign, wait, my legs are numb, I’ll be there in a moment!"

Siheng ruthlessly cut off the Telestone connection.

Yun Jianchu then said, "I have nothing better to do than wander around the mountain, and I’m familiar with all the situations. Let me handle the arrangements."

When she was Yining’s young apprentice, she used to take care of all these things.

Siheng nodded and said, "Then I’ll leave it to you."

The couple returned to their courtyard on Jady Pearl Peak.

He had quite a few scars on his body.

But as soon as he entered the house, he immediately set up a formation to first check Nanli’s body.

"There’s no need to be too nervous. The Asura King’s Demon Soul is dispersed and wrapped around, currently surviving by clinging to the child’s soul. It won’t harm me for now," Nanli said.

Siheng asked her to sit down, his expression serious. "I still need to check to be sure."

As a husband and a father, he couldn’t afford to be careless.

He focused intently, examining her carefully.

Half an hour passed, and he still hadn’t finished.

Nanli, who had been sitting still for so long, was now feeling sore and had finally lost her patience. "That’s enough," she said.

Siheng coaxed her, "It’ll be quick. Just bear with it a little longer."

Nanli took a deep breath and resigned herself to it.

Another teapot of tea time passed.

Finally, Siheng let go, the silver light on his fingertips fading.

He said, "As you said, it won’t cause any harm for now. But Junzhe is now clinging to this child’s soul, and because the child itself has Asura Royal Clan blood, it’s not easy to separate it."

Nanli, who had been sitting upright for so long, was finally able to lean back against a soft pillow and recline comfortably.

She glanced at Siheng. "You’re not trying to persuade me again, are you?"

The most direct and effective method now was to kill the child’s soul.

In this way, the Asura King’s myriad strands of Demon Soul would also be annihilated, solving the problem once and for all.

Siheng looked at her steadily, his eyes filled with uncontrollable worry.

He sat beside Nanli, holding her delicate hand, and first recounted the Asura King’s plans over the years.

"The stronger the child’s soul, the stronger the Demon Soul becomes. Eventually, the Asura King’s Demon Soul will repair itself completely, and during this process, the child’s body will most likely be gradually taken over by him bit by bit."

Moreover, there was an especially crucial point.

If they waited until Nanli’s childbirth, the Asura King’s Demon Soul would definitely be repaired by then, and she would be in danger.

As well as the other two children.

Nanli also realized this and pursed her lips.

She touched her belly with her other hand.

"Then, before that happens, we need to find a way to separate and annihilate the Demon Soul."

She didn’t say the rest out loud.

Siheng promised, "Alright, I’ll go to the Cliff Bottom Library to look for a method later."

However, he didn’t rush to bury himself in the search; he still needed to ask Cinian and Yun Jianchu first.

Nanli saw that he was only concerned about her and didn’t pay any attention to his own injuries.

Her nose turned a little sour. "Shall I draw a Wound-Healing Talisman for you?"

The Asura King had sent back the divine power from her last Glassy Bottle, which she had temporarily stored in her Dantian without refining.

Once she became stronger, the children would also grow stronger.

The Asura King would naturally benefit as well.

So she had better restrain herself for now.

But using spiritual energy to draw a talisman was fine.

Siheng shook his head gently. "No need. You rest for a while. I’ll meditate and heal my injuries."

He couldn’t bear to let her tire herself out.

It wasn’t that he was ungrateful or arrogant; it was just that with his current cultivation, other people’s talisman formations had minimal effect on him.

It’s not hard to understand that in the past, when immortals secluded themselves to heal their injuries, it would take at least a hundred or two hundred years to fully recover.

But he was different.

With his Asura Royal Clan bloodline, when he meditated and regulated his breathing to heal his injuries, both his Demon Core and inner core would operate together, and his wounds would heal quickly.

As for flesh wounds, they were even less of a concern; they healed in the blink of an eye, without leaving a single scar.

Nanli watched from the side, feeling envious.

Such an amazing hybrid constitution made even her extremely envious and eager to possess it.

No wonder Junzhe was so eager for it, willing to plot for ten thousand years.

Even if the Demon Domain was temporarily sealed, it didn’t matter.

Once he obtained a divine-demonic hybrid body, a single axe swing could shatter the sealing barrier completely.

With his formidable power and long lifespan, he would be able to accomplish great things.

Including a charge into the Divine Realm.
