Chapter 410 Return of the Soul
A strange look appeared on Ming Tian's face.

She truly hadn't expected that someone with Fan You's fierce and volatile temperament would willingly utter such words.

The ancestor of the Brahma Cult has actually recognized a new master?
"Cough cough!"

Fan You coughed twice, then quickly feigned composure and said, "This kid has unparalleled talent and a promising future. He is also the offspring of that woman, the Calamity Emperor. It wouldn't be a loss of face for me to acknowledge him as my master."

Besides, it was thanks to his help that I was able to escape danger. Now, as his sword spirit, protecting him is my way of repaying that kindness.

Blade and Soul?

Ming Tian narrowed his snake eyes slightly, his tone meaningful: "It seems that many interesting things have happened between the two of you."

"Hmph, you'll find out in time."

Fan You raised a playful smile again: "But you just now, you looked like you were about to be beaten into submission by him and willingly acknowledge him as your master?"

"I'm not as shameless as you."

Ming Tian snorted lightly: "I only used a portion of my soul power to spar with him briefly. How can it be said that he acknowledges me as his master?"

Fan You chuckled. "You're still the same as you were ten thousand years ago, feigning arrogance."

"It's still better than you."

Ming Tian glanced at her sideways: "Even after turning into such a childlike appearance, you still dare to speak so arrogantly."

Fan You puffed out his chest, his face full of arrogance. "What's wrong with looking like this?"

"."

Watching the two arguing and bickering, Su Cheng was momentarily speechless.

It seems that Senior Fan You and Ming Tian have quite a good relationship?
"Su boy."

Ming Tian suddenly turned his head, attracting Su Cheng's attention.

"Although I don't know how this strange woman became a sword spirit, since you are her master, you have to keep her in check and not let her talk nonsense."

Su Cheng chuckled twice: "Judging from your pleasant conversation, could you two be old friends from ten thousand years ago?"

"Nonsense."

Fan You nudged him lightly with her elbow and said reproachfully, "This woman is eccentric and gloomy. It's rare to be able to have a calm conversation with her. How can she be considered a good friend?"

"You still have the nerve to say it."

Ming Tian said irritably, "Back then, you were the most unruly and shameless, causing so much trouble."

"Alright, both of you calm down."

Su Cheng smiled and raised his hand in a gesture of reassurance, trying to calm the two down. "No matter what grudges we had back then, it's not necessarily a bad thing that we can meet again after ten thousand years."

Ming Tian and Fan You exchanged a glance and both sighed helplessly, and the atmosphere finally eased a little.

"But you, kid, why are you running around aimlessly with your men again?"

Fan You abruptly changed the subject, turning her head to look at Su Cheng with a puzzled expression. "I just woke up, where am I? Huh?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw several figures under the immortal vein crystal pillar, and her eyes widened immediately.

"Du...Dugu!?"

Sensing the panic in her voice, Ming Tian couldn't help but sneer: "You only noticed now?"

Fan You didn't bother to retort. After a moment of stunned silence, a somewhat sullen expression appeared on his face.

"Kid, this...it hasn't been long and you've even found your mother?"

“A few minor accidents happened.” Su Cheng smiled. “Besides, it’s just a physical body now.”

"what?"

Fan You was taken aback and quickly focused his attention to observe carefully.

As the former sword spirit of the Ten Heavens, she was naturally quite familiar with this 'former master'.

Although they had been separated for thousands of years, the fluctuations of spiritual energy were exactly the same, but she instinctively sensed something was amiss.

The physical body is indeed real, but the soul residing within it seems...
"Strange thing."

Fan You muttered softly, then turned her head and asked gently, "Who's inside now?"

"The spirit of Heaven."

"."

Upon hearing Su Cheng's telepathic reply, Fan You's lips twitched involuntarily. What inexplicable things had happened during his slumber to lead to this bizarre situation?
"Young Su, explain yourself to me clearly."

Fan You quickly grabbed Su Cheng's sleeve, and the two turned around together, whispering to each other.

Ming Tian glanced at them and shook his head helplessly.

"Never doing anything right."

It's really inappropriate for an elder who has lived for over ten thousand years to be fussing and pulling at a child.

only.
Her gaze towards Su Cheng, though furtive, now held a hint of scrutiny.

"Seriously?! Such a thing exists?!"

Fan You suddenly cried out in surprise, her face filled with disbelief.

Su Cheng simply shrugged. He had already told Fan You the whole story, and now he would let Fan You digest it on her own.

However, the two's sudden outbursts caused Ming Tian to frown secretly.

She wanted to use her supernatural powers to investigate further, but Fan You quietly blocked her, leaving her with no choice but to sigh in frustration.

Throughout history, this madwoman has always been the most difficult to deal with.
"No wonder you're here."

Fan You rubbed his temples, glancing sideways at the towering crystal pillar. "Is this the immortal vein that Dugu planted back then?"

“Yes.” Su Cheng nodded slightly: “I originally intended to prepare everything while Senior Mingtian was asleep, but I didn’t expect to disturb her, so we just had a friendly sparring session.”

"I see."

Fan You nodded in realization, then glared at Ming Tian not far away, her tone unfriendly: "You're supposed to be a senior who's lived for ten thousand years, yet you insist on meddling in other people's business."

“I didn’t stop them.”

Ming Tian crossed his arms and snorted lightly, "It's just a test of this child's abilities."

"Why test me? I'd rather keep you company."

Fan You clenched her small fist and grinned, "After ten thousand years, let's have another fight."

"Senior Fan, calm down."

Su Cheng pressed down on her fragrant shoulder, both amused and exasperated, and said, "Senior Mingtian probably meant no harm, there's no need for this."

"But she just attacked you."

"Neither of us was really fighting; it was just a friendly exchange."

".All right."

Fan You pouted slightly.

Ming Tian grew increasingly puzzled. How could this madwoman have become so obedient?
Moreover, she seemed to have a slightly flushed face.
Do sword spirits blush?
Ming Tian was secretly surprised when Fan You blushed and gently pushed away the hand on his shoulder.

She rubbed her shoulders, feigning composure, and looked down at Shi Xuan and the puppet, who were supporting each other on the ground.

"You can go down now. Focus on refining the immortal vein essence with that girl. Don't neglect important matters."

"Row."

Su Cheng nodded, then clasped his hands in a salute to Ming Tian before landing in a flash.

"."

Fan You crossed her arms again, raised her chin slightly, and glanced sideways at Ming Tian, ​​who seemed to be deep in thought.

"I thought you were dead. I never imagined you'd be hiding in a place like this, surviving until now."

"Why don't you?"

Ming Tian came to his senses and smiled faintly: "Judging from your current appearance, you seem to be getting more and more used to being a sword spirit."

There's nothing wrong with that.

“However, I’m starting to get curious.” Ming Tian suddenly changed the subject, looking at Su Cheng’s back with great interest once again.

"This child is so young yet possesses such abilities, his talent even surpassing his mother's. And the fact that you willingly acknowledge him as your master suggests that he must hold many secrets."

"."

Fan You was momentarily speechless, her expression subtly shifting as she glanced downwards out of the corner of her eye.

Looking at the figure of the 'Emperor of Calamity', even though he knew that the soul inside the physical body was not that of the original owner, he still felt inexplicably uneasy.
If Dugu knew that he had harbored some lust for her child, and even reached his climax in her palm, she probably wouldn't tear him apart.
"It's alright, it's alright, it's just a little accident."

Fan You pinched the bridge of her nose and muttered to herself.

"Dugu currently only has a physical body; his soul has not yet returned. There is still a chance to sort out the relationships and prevent him from sinking deeper into trouble."

"Ha~"

Ming Tian smiled knowingly: "You were just cursing me, but I don't think you're any better."

Fan You blushed and turned her head away, letting out a soft hum.

"Let's not talk about that now, let's get serious."

"You said."

"This kid should have mentioned to you earlier that the Five Desolate Regions are currently in a state of crisis."

Fan You tilted his head and whispered, "Would you like to step forward and lend us a hand?"

"I?"

The Nether Serpent's eyes narrowed slightly, and its tone turned cold. "You should know that I was sealed here back then entirely because of the Calamity Emperor."

"She didn't do it intentionally, you should know that better than anyone else."

Interrupted by Fan You, Ming Tian lowered his eyelids and his expression became somewhat complicated and difficult to understand.

As Fan You said, although he was extremely angry and desperate when he was first sealed, he gradually realized after calming down that all of this was not something that the Emperor of Calamity could control or decide.

The general trend of the world is hard to defy, and the Five Desolate Domains will eventually perish. The actions of the Calamity Emperor are nothing more than for the sake of all living beings.
Moreover, she also benefited from this, thanks to the nourishment accumulated by the immortal veins over time, which allowed her to recover from her injuries and even advance further into the realm of divine emptiness.

"Even after ten thousand years, you're still so dishonest."

Fan You said calmly, "This child is taking over the unfinished work of the former Emperor Jie. It would be too heartless for us old monsters not to help him."

"I don't have much of a relationship with the Emperor of Calamity."

"The opportunity of the Divine Void is not something everyone can obtain." Fan You rolled her eyes at her. "You don't want it, but I do."

Mingtian remained silent for a moment, then let out a soft sigh.

"Fine, I'll lend a hand a little."

Upon hearing this, Fan You couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.

"You do have some sense."

"However, I won't be flirting with this child."

"Who told you to kiss him!"

Seeing Fan You's embarrassed and angry expression, Ming Tian smiled, feeling a pang of emotion.

After thousands of years of seclusion and silence, it's not so bad to see things bustling like this today.

But seeing my old friend in this state is truly a sign of things having changed beyond recognition.
Om-!
Just then, a strange light shot into the sky.

Fan You and Ming Tian were both startled and looked at Su Cheng and the other two who were sitting cross-legged.

At this moment, a powerful aura emanated from their bodies, and the waves of energy seemed to shake the heavens and the earth!
"This is."

"Cultivating."

Fan You quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Let me make this clear first, you are not allowed to interfere from the side. If you accidentally damage their foundation, I will turn against you."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't be so reckless." The Dark Heaven Serpent's eyes gleamed with mysterious light as he murmured, "However, this child's cultivation method is truly strange; he actually refined spiritual essence into a flesh puppet."
However, the two sides maintain a mysterious and peculiar connection, as if their energies are intertwined and merged.

"It's probably a technique passed down by the Emperor of Calamity, so don't overthink it."

As soon as Fan You finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Although she spent most of her time in seclusion and slumber after acknowledging Su Cheng as her master, and rarely paid attention to the outside world, she was more or less aware that Su Cheng would use that puppet's body to refine the spiritual veins.
The reaction was strong.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The next moment, a scream that sounded like a cry suddenly rang out. Ming Tian, ​​who had been pondering, was startled, and his expression instantly turned strange.

"This this"

Even though I've lived past 100 years and seen countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood, this is the first time in all these years that I've witnessed such a despicable scene.
"Fan You, you..."

Ming Tian felt inexplicably thirsty and looked at Fan You: "Could it be the same for you?"

"Hmph, you're so alarmed by such a small matter?" Fan You casually tossed a strand of hair aside, a disdainful smile playing on her lips.

"I'm not as fragile as this white-haired girl; I'm the one guiding her in her cultivation right now!"

Even so, she caught a glimpse of the surging waves below and her ears secretly burned.

Although some time had passed, she still remembered the feeling of being used by Su Cheng; it was truly...
"Gurgle."

The puppet tilted its head back and leaned on Shi Xuan's shoulder, its whole body trembling.

Fine crackles of electricity occasionally flashed around her, causing every inch of her flesh and bones to tremble. Wisps of spiritual energy spilled from the corners of her lips, as if she had lost her soul.
Shi Xuan pressed down on the puppet's arms, his face already flushed with embarrassment, and he lowered his head without saying a word.

Moreover, as if there was some kind of resonance between her body and mind, her soul was now feeling weak and tingling.

If it weren't for the presence of senior Ming Tian, ​​she probably would have already cried out.

"call--"

Su Cheng slowly exhaled a burning breath, secretly breaking out in a cold sweat.

The commotion caused by refining the immortal vein's spiritual essence was beyond imagination; even Xuan'er's body almost couldn't withstand it.

But thankfully it went smoothly and without any major mishaps.

and--

He glanced around and saw a large array of system light screens unfolding one after another:

[Immortal Sect Level Upgrade] [Disciple Pavilion: 150-200]

[The number of rooms and pavilions has increased accordingly; the spirit fields have expanded; the number of summoned phantoms has increased.] [The maximum storage capacity of the spirit spring has been increased to four thousand years.]

Unlock 'Timeless Void' to gain insight into the principles of creation.

[Due to the implantation of immortal veins, the strength of the immortal sect's main body has been enhanced, allowing it to additionally support returning souls.]

As your level increases, more system functions will be unlocked.

But before Su Cheng could even feel the rapid advancement in his cultivation, a series of profound spiritual lights suddenly burst forth before his eyes.

"This is."

He was slightly startled. Before he could think, he quickly reached out to grab Shi Xuan, but he did not touch Shi Xuan's body.

As the mysterious light dimmed, only the puppet remained before them.

"Ugh."

The 'puppet' struggled to sit up, her face flushed, breathing heavily, and looked up with difficulty to meet Su Cheng's gaze.

"You rascal! You almost drove me to my death!"

"Xuan'er?" Su Cheng's expression gradually changed. "You can go back into your body now?"

"what?"

The puppet paused for a moment, then lowered its head and carefully examined its hands.

"Have I really returned to my body?"

Before she could feel joy, her face suddenly tightened, she grabbed Su Cheng's arms, buried her face in his chest, and began to tremble violently.

A moment later, as if she had lost her soul again, she let out a faint, ethereal sigh, and her body gradually went limp.

"enemy."
