Sloan, since you discovered this, please handle it.

However, before that, we must make the seal even more stable.”

With a wistful sigh, O’Brien said, “Actually, if not for the deep misunderstandings between the Eastern Dragon Empire and us, what would be the harm in cooperating with them, if only we could…”

Sloan cut him off, “That’s impossible.

You can imagine the hatred the Eastern Dragon Empire has for us, and we have issued a decree to exterminate them; our hatred for each other cannot be resolved with words.

One year’s time is enough for us to stabilize the seal, and once it is stable, I will personally lead the Faran knights to trample the Eastern Dragon.”

O’Brien gave Sloan an odd look but said no more, as Sloan took his seat in his designated place and entered a state of meditation.

…

Two days ago, the Qin City Army that had been stationed in the eastern borders of the Milan Empire had retreated.

Under Oliveira’s leadership, the Qin City Army had made substantial progress and had effectively bee a regular army.

After instruction from the disciples of the Four Martial Arts Sects among the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, the Four Continental Military Forces: Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum had begun to show their strength.

These young men had been selected from millions of descendants of the Eastern Dragon from Qin City, and through training and diligent cultivation, they now all possessed strength above Red-rank; some who already had a foundation experienced significant increases in strength.

While in Spirit City, Oliveira had a unique approach to training the troops, dividing all battalions into two parts.

Apart from the cavalry and long-range troops, which Peja and Ye Hongyan trained separately, the rest of the warriors went through hellish drills under his mand.

Oliveira understood that Ye Yinzhu did not give him much time, as the Continent was amidst turmoil and there was no ample time for troop training.

Therefore, based on the Milan Empire’s training methods, he intensified the sessions by several folds.

Luckily, with Dong Long Martial Skills’ Douqi cultivation for physical recovery, the Qin City Army was able to return intact.

Yet, it was this harsh training that allowed the Qin City Warriors to improve by leaps and bounds.

Upon returning to Qin City, these warriors were immediately assigned to various tasks, with no time to rest.

The Dragon Clan could invade at any time, and many arrangements were still needed in Qin City.

“Yin Zhu,” Anya approached Ye Yinzhu, who was deep in meditation.

Since his recovery, Ye Yinzhu often came to the Elf Forest that had gained a considerable scale to cultivate—the abundant natural aura here greatly benefitted his realm of heaven and humanity.

After several days of adaptation, Ye Yinzhu was now able to rely on Unity of Heaven and Man to feel everything around him.

Even though he could not see the colorful world, he could distinguish everything around him.

Moreover, he found that with the loss of vision and taste, the other four senses among his six senses gradually became sharper—especially his sense of touch and hearing, which improved significantly after each meditation session in the realm of heaven and humanity.

“Sister Anya, you’re here,” he said, opening his eyes out of habit, even though he could not see.

Anya sat down beside Ye Yinzhu, “Yin Zhu, I’ve mostly finished preparing your wedding.

But, do we really need to proceed with the wedding when the Dragon Clan is about to attack?”

Ye Yinzhu nodded, “I can’t wait any longer.

I actually hope the Dragon Clan will e on my wedding day because their arrival will only serve as congratulatory gifts.”

Anya fell silent for a moment, then said, “Yin Zhu, there might be a way for you to recover your senses.”

Ye Yinzhu was startled, then smiled, “Sister Anya, you don’t need to fort me anymore.

And don’t spend more time worrying about this.

Although I can’t see, it doesn’t affect me much.”

Anya replied, somewhat irritated, “How can you give up hope yourself?

If even you give up, who else can help you?

I’m not joking with you.

After careful consideration these past few days and analyzing the magic that was used on you, I think there’s a method with more than an eighty percent chance of restoring your senses.”

Ye Yinzhu was taken aback, “Is it nature magic?

That’s impossible.”

Anya shook her head, “No, it’s not nature magic.

I also know that nature magic can’t help you recover your senses.

After all, that Necromantic Curse is too terrible.

It utilizes the balance of our world.

To break this balance, special methods are needed, such as obtaining a tremendous amount of life energy.”

“Life Energy?”

“Yes, what we are talking about is life force.

Every living creature possesses a life force unique to itself, some stronger than others.

Life force is the source of human survival—if life force is depleted too quickly, then the creature’s lifespan will diminish.

For example, among all living beings, the Dragon Clan possesses the strongest life force.

Even though humans can cultivate strength parable to the Dragon Clan, they cannot possess the same life force as the dragons.

That’s why dragons can live for tens of thousands of years, while even the most powerful humans can only live up to a maximum of five hundred years, provided they do not transcend the bounds of the human category.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “But I’ve never heard of a way to absorb life force.

And what does this life force have to do with the two senses I’ve lost?”

Anya replied, “Of course, there’s a connection.

The six senses are a part of a person, life force is the origin of the physical body, and the senses are part of that physical body.

Similarly, the soul imprint is the source of human spiritual consciousness.

Therefore, if the life force is strong enough, it naturally can break through the curse brought by the Necromantic Curse, allowing all the damage in your body to return to normal under the action of the immense life force.”

“Sister Anya, what you’re saying seems to make some sense.

However, how immense of a life force is required to contend with a Forbidden Curse?

Also, I’m worried that once the Sixth Sense Soul Transfer is broken, it might affect Sura.”

Anya shook her head and said, “No, it won’t.

The senses belong to the physical body, and the soul belongs to the spiritual domain.

You exchanged the physical senses from your body with Sura’s spiritual soul.

This is now a fixed oute—a non-reversible curse.

Think about it the other way around: If someone now takes Sura’s soul again, can your sight and taste be restored?

The moment your magic was pleted, it became irreversible.

I have been carefully pondering over the mystery of your magic these past few days.

If I’m not wrong, to restore your senses, you must use the strength that belongs to your physical body to break the curse of the Necromantic Curse.

Neither Douqi nor Magic can acplish this.

Only life force, the most fundamental power of the flesh, can help you.”

Ye Yinzhu knew that Anya, as the Elf Queen, although she was younger than Master Phil Jackson, her knowledge in magic, especially nature magic, was no less than his.

Her words were pletely trustworthy.

“But where can I find such a vast life force?

And even if I do find it, I can’t transfer it to myself, let alone help me break the curse of the Sixth Sense Soul Transfer.”

Anya sighed and said, “It’s not that there’s no way, but it’s just too difficult.

This is why I wasn’t excited at all after thinking of this method to restore you.

Do you remember what I told you is needed for the Ancient Tree to evolve into its final form, the Eternal Tree?”

Ye Yinzhu blurted out, “The Water of Life?

Sister, are you talking about the Water of Life?”

Anya nodded and said, “A single drop of the Water of Life can enable the Ancient Tree to bee the Eternal Tree for a month.

And the life force contained in one drop of the Water of Life is also incredibly immense.

I think that if you can obtain a drop of the Water of Life, with the vast life force it contains, it’s very likely you can restore your senses.”

Ye Yinzhu said with a wry smile, “Sister, let’s not consider such elusive things.

Not to mention the Dragon God guarding it as you said, just the fact that it constantly moves makes it something we cannot find.”

Anya’s eyes dimmed a bit, “Yes, if I could really find the Water of Life, even if it costs me my life, I would definitely get you a drop of the Water of Life.”

Ye Yinzhu took Anya’s hand and said, “Sister, I know you care about me.

But we should not dwell on what has already been lost.

I have been meditating these past few days, and I’ve only seen Brother Oliveira and Hongyan when they returned.

Elder Wei Ming and you have been busy with the plethora of matters in Qin City.

How are things now?”

Anya replied, “Your wedding and our gift to the Dragon Clan are almost plete.

All the elderly, the weak, and the women and children within Qin City have already been moved to the air-raid shelters in the mountains.

The Four Great Battalions: Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju are responsible for their protection.

Our main fighting force against the Dragon Clan still es from the Behemoth Beast, the Druids, and the long-range attack units.

The rest is up to us, the powerful ones.

The Zi-rank experts we possess now could rival the bined force of experts from all nations on the Continent.

With the addition of the Four Schools of Mages from the Eastern Dragon Empire, if the Dragon Clan does not e, so be it, but if they dare e, I’ll certainly give them a surprise.”

“Yinzhu, Yinzhu.” Just then, a voice came from afar, and a swiftly moving shadow almost instantly appeared in front of Ye Yinzhu and Anya with such speed that even Anya could not help but admire it.

“Sura, slow down, what happened?

Why are you running so fast?”

Hehe, having read the reviews, many friends have mentioned that Xiao San hasn’t made explosive progress recently, and indeed this is true, as a person’s energy is limited.

I too wish to write steadily every day, but things don’t always go as planned, and I often get entangled in numerous issues.

Sometimes, when I’m feeling good, I can churn out twenty thousand words in a day, but sometimes I’m affected by trivial matters that prevent me from concentrating on writing.

Therefore, Xiao San has opted for a stable update schedule, feeling this is more responsible towards readers.

Although there are few explosive updates, I can assure you that I won’t use any excuse to shirk my daily updates, so please support Xiao San, thank you.
