"Spiritual Ancestor!"
As Xiao Bai appeared, the Green Flood Dragon cried out excitedly towards her. Perhaps due to the Heavenly Dao Brush and the Azure Spiritual Pagoda, the Green Flood Dragon stopped a step after walking towards Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai smiled and nodded at the Green Flood Dragon, then walked to Li Xuan and knelt down, placing a hand on his forehead.
The next moment, three streams of purple energy emerged from her hand and seeped into Li Xuan's body.
As time passed, Li Xuan's complexion began to regain its color. Moreover, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth flowed continuously into Li Xuan's body.
After a quarter of an hour, Li Xuan's injuries had completely vanished. The wound stretching from his stomach to his abdomen had already regrown and scabbed over. However, Li Xuan's slightly closed eyes showed no sign of opening.
Seeing this, Xiao Bai frowned slightly. Then, she opened her mouth, and a ball of dazzling purple light flowed out, shooting into Li Xuan's body.
Hum!
The next moment, Li Xuan's body floated up. Moreover, it was as if a protective energy enveloped him.
At this moment, the Green Flood Dragon hastily moved behind Xiao Bai. Just as Xiao Bai spat out the purple light, her body swayed and she almost fell. It was evident that Xiao Bai had also suffered a significant drain.
As time passed, after waiting for another quarter of an hour, the spiritual light around Li Xuan began to dissipate. When Li Xuan's figure became clear, his slightly closed eyes slowly opened at this moment.
Yin!
Accompanied by a sword cry, the heavens and earth vibrated with rolling sword qi. As Li Xuan's gaze sharpened, the sword qi returned into his body.
"Holy hell, the young master is incredibly powerful now!" the Heavenly Dao Brush exclaimed upon seeing this.
Upon hearing this, the Azure Spiritual Pagoda instantly rushed in front of the Heavenly Dao Brush and asked, "You old brush, how is he powerful?"
The Heavenly Dao Brush did not mind the Azure Spiritual Pagoda's derogatory nickname and excitedly said, looking at Li Xuan, "The young master's dantian was previously destroyed, which is why he used a spiritual sword as his dantian to become a spiritualist. Now, that primordial purple energy from the Spiritual Ancestor has helped the young master transform his physique."
"Just a change in physique, that doesn't seem like much," the Azure Spiritual Pagoda said, somewhat confused.
Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao Brush knocked the Azure Spiritual Pagoda away, "Damn it, do you think changing one's physique is that easy? If it weren't for Xiao Bai being the Spiritual Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, it wouldn't have been so simple!"
"Let me put it this way, the young master is now not only a sword body but also the legendary Primordial Dao Body. In the future, the young master will not only be able to absorb spiritual swords but also draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth to improve, just like other spiritualists. And another benefit of the Primordial Dao Body is that the young master's body will actively absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth."
"Old brush, do you think I'm exaggerating now!"
The Azure Spiritual Pagoda flew back at this moment. After hearing the Heavenly Dao Brush's explanation, it stood stunned on the spot. If the Heavenly Dao Brush's words were true, then Li Xuan was indeed incredibly fortunate. Moreover, judging by the Heavenly Dao Brush's demeanor, it was clearly not lying.
Li Xuan also heard the Heavenly Dao Brush's words and his gaze shifted as he moved in front of Xiao Bai.
"Xiao Bai, how are you?" Li Xuan's heart filled with worry as he looked at Xiao Bai's slightly pale face.
Hearing this, Xiao Bai smiled and shook her head, "Big Brother, I'm fine, I just need to sleep a little more."
After speaking, Xiao Bai closed her eyes and directly fell unconscious. Seeing this, Li Xuan quickly collected Xiao Bai into the Prison Suppressing Pagoda. After entrusting her to the pagoda spirit, he finally felt at ease. The Heavenly Dao Brush and the Azure Spiritual Pagoda were also placed into the Prison Suppressing Pagoda by Li Xuan.
The next moment, Li Xuan's gaze fell upon the Green Flood Dragon. To be precise, it was now a Green Dragon.
"I have already helped you transform into a dragon, shouldn't you be leaving?" Li Xuan said, looking at the Green Dragon.
"Young master, wasn't it the Spiritual Ancestor of Heaven and Earth who helped?" the Heavenly Dao Brush's voice sounded in Li Xuan's mind.
Hearing this, Li Xuan's face darkened, and he completely ignored the Heavenly Dao Brush's words.
The Green Dragon looked at Li Xuan and said, "Human, do you think I'm stupid? This dragon admits you played a part, but without the Spiritual Ancestor's intervention, how could you have helped me transform into a dragon?"
Li Xuan chuckled sheepishly. He hadn't expected this Green Dragon to be so astute. However, since he had been exposed, Li Xuan was too lazy to explain anything.
"Since the matter is over, why haven't you left?" Li Xuan asked.
The Green Dragon fell silent, a hint of struggle evident in its eyes.
"Human, what is your relationship with the Spiritual Ancestor?" The Green Dragon finally spoke.
Li Xuan's lips curled into a slight smile, which quickly returned to normal, and then he said, "You heard it, Xiao Bai calls me Big Brother, so she is naturally my sister. We are family."
Inside the Prison Suppressing Pagoda, the Heavenly Dao Brush floated to the Azure Spiritual Pagoda and said, "Old pagoda, look, the young master is starting to fool people again. No, he's trying to fool a dragon now."
Azure Spiritual Pagoda: "..."
"Human, I wish to follow the Spiritual Ancestor," the Green Dragon said after a moment of silence.
"Young master, this Green Dragon has tasted the benefits. One strand of primordial purple energy from the Spiritual Ancestor allowed it to transform into a dragon, and for further breakthroughs, it can only follow the Spiritual Ancestor," the Heavenly Dao Brush remarked.
Li Xuan smiled. He could tell the Green Dragon's intentions. In fact, when Li Xuan had collected Xiao Bai into the Prison Suppressing Pagoda earlier, he had noticed the reluctance in the Green Dragon's eyes. It was precisely because of this that Li Xuan had intentionally asked the Green Dragon to leave.
"You wish to follow Xiao Bai, that is your own business. Xiao Bai hasn't spoken to me, so it's not appropriate for me to make decisions for her. Besides, you saw that Xiao Bai is currently weak and sleeping, and I can't possibly wake her up, can I?" Li Xuan said to the Green Dragon.
The Green Dragon nodded in agreement, "Naturally, we cannot disturb the Spiritual Ancestor's slumber. However, after such a long sleep, how long will it take for the Spiritual Ancestor to awaken?"
Li Xuan pretended to ponder, stroking his chin, "It will likely take three to five years, perhaps even more. You don't know, Xiao Bai slept for several years last time. This time, she suffered a great loss to save me, so it might take at least ten years."
The flow of time on the third level of the Prison Suppressing Pagoda was indeed much faster than in the outside world. One year outside was twenty years within. Xiao Bai's previous slumber lasted three months, but that was within the Prison Suppressing Pagoda.
"The young master is playing word games, even I, a brush, find it hard to listen," the Heavenly Dao Brush lamented.
Li Xuan: "..."
"So long..." The Green Dragon did not doubt Li Xuan's words. As a spiritual beast, the Green Dragon knew that it might sleep for several years at a time. Ten years, in fact, was not too long for a spiritual beast.
"If you can't wait, there's no need to wait. Besides, whether Xiao Bai is willing to let you follow her is another matter," Li Xuan said.
The Green Dragon immediately shook its head, "I am willing to follow the Spiritual Ancestor!"
Li Xuan smiled and said, "Given your sincerity, I do have a way for you to stay by Xiao Bai's side."
The Green Dragon's massive eyes lit up, and it eagerly asked, "What method?"
Li Xuan smiled mysteriously, "Recognize me as your master."
