On the torn-apart earth, a divine spring appeared, about one zhang in diameter, accompanied by endless dawn light that illuminated the myriad heavens.
One could feel that this divine spring was filled with surging vitality, causing numerous plants to rapidly grow within a radius of ten zhang, transforming into vast stretches of forest that quickly spread out, bringing specks of greenery to this desolate Emperor Realm.
This was the true Immortality Divine Spring, or perhaps more accurately, the Immortality Immortal Spring. The vitality it contained surpassed imagination, capable of causing even barren land to sprout continuous forests.
Within Ye Chen's Eyes of the Heavens, endless Great Dao runes flickered and intertwined, piercing through everything, allowing him to understand clearly.
The extreme of life is death, and the extreme of death is life!
The reason the Immortality Immortal Spring could be born stemmed entirely from this desolate Emperor Realm.
Although all living beings in the myriad heavens had perished and fallen during the ultimate Emperor War of that era, the essences of countless fallen gods and demons were concentrated at one point, thus giving birth to this true Immortality Immortal Spring, within which infinite vitality gushed forth.
Moreover, within the Immortality Immortal Spring, thousands upon thousands of strands of Great Dao Laws descended. These were not ordinary laws; it was as if the myriad Daos of the heavens had been imprinted here, with supreme immortal principles flowing within, containing the ultimate mysteries.
These were the god and demon Great Dao Laws contained within the powerful fallen beings of the myriad heavens, now all gathered within the Immortality Immortal Spring.
It could be said that the Immortality Immortal Spring both carried infinite vitality and bore the fragments of the Great Dao of countless gods and demons.
No wonder it was rumored that the Immortality Immortal Spring contained the ultimate mystery of eternal life and immortality. Some had even delved into it, comprehending the ultimate mysteries and thereby achieving the status of a peerless Emperor Sovereign. All of this was because the Immortality Immortal Spring was truly too extraordinary.
Ye Chen looked at this Immortality Immortal Spring, filled with excitement. After so many years of hardship, he had finally waited for this moment.
Although it was strange why it hadn't been used for the Sovereign of Formlessness, thinking of the ball of dawn light gifted by the Battle Saint Ancestor, which felt many times more extraordinary than the Immortality Immortal Spring, he couldn't help but understand.
Yet Ye Chen hesitated somewhat. After all, this was a priceless treasure bestowed by the Battle Saint Ancestor, perhaps meant for him to delve into the ultimate mysteries contained within the Immortality Immortal Spring, allowing him to achieve the Dao and proclaim himself Emperor, becoming stronger to face the blood-stained future.
But his primary hope was to revive Yu Qing. Therefore, he worried about disappointing the Battle Saint Ancestor's expectations and couldn't help but say, "Saint Ancestor above, this Immortality Immortal Spring is precious. May this junior use it to revive someone?"
He felt somewhat anxious. If the Battle Saint Ancestor did not permit it, he would return it and not use it.
Because it belonged to the Battle Saint Ancestor.
Unexpectedly, the Battle Saint Ancestor agreed: "Since it was gifted to you, it is yours. As for how to use it, that is entirely in your hands."
Ye Chen was both surprised and overjoyed, never expecting the Battle Saint Ancestor to be so accommodating. He hurriedly performed a bow of great respect, thanking the Battle Saint Ancestor for his grace.
"Your Dao requires no other. Walking your own Great Dao is the strongest path," the Battle Saint Ancestor said.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged before the Immortality Immortal Spring, took a deep breath to calm his slightly turbulent heart, and then a brilliant radiance burst forth from between his eyebrows, accompanied by infinite light that blazed like a great sun crossing the sky, along with strands of supreme Great Dao Laws, resounding thunderously throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, deafening to the ears.
Visible to the naked eye, within his Mud Pill Palace between his eyebrows sat a Battle Saint Soul identical to him. At this moment, golden light permeated, the entire Battle Saint Soul surged, and there, an illusory figure slowly appeared.
It was a graceful figure in a green gown, ethereal like a sprig of mint, clear and refined, detached from worldly dust.
She lay strewn in the air, her figure very illusory, as if about to dissipate at any moment, having always spent her days in slumber—
Yu Qing!
Another beloved confidante from his past life, only a wisp of her True Spirit remained unextinguished, always preserved within his divine soul, accompanying him through life and death.
Now, there was finally a real opportunity to completely revive Yu Qing.
Ye Chen was very excited. The Immortality Immortal Spring before him was a truly heaven-defying immortal object that seized all creation, radiating boundless light, accompanied by the flow of myriad immortal principles, filled with immortal opportunities.
Compared to the Immortality Divine Spring obtained earlier, although the vitality it contained was considered rich, it was ultimately like a minor witch meeting a great sorceress—utterly insignificant.
"Yu Qing..."
Ye Chen called softly, accompanied by a special Dao sound, awakening the slumbering Yu Qing.
A long time later, the beauty slowly awoke, opening her long, curled eyelashes. Looking at the young man before her with a somewhat unfamiliar face, she showed no surprise, no astonishment. Her smile was as serene and tranquil as ever, like a green lotus immortal, untainted by worldly vulgarity. She spoke softly: "Yue—"
A gentle call that shook Ye Chen's heart profoundly.
How long had he waited for this day, to finally hear his beloved's heavenly voice again? He couldn't help but shed tears: "Qingqing, we finally meet again. I'm sorry for making you sleep so long."
The beauty Yu Qing gently shook her head, her smile forever so serene: "I know you've always worked very hard. Your suffering, I can feel it deeply. Please don't forget, I've always been with you."
Tears fell, but they were tears of joy.
Their True Spirits had always been together. Even though Yu Qing's True Spirit was very weak and always in slumber, she could always sense everything about Ye Chen.
"Qingqing, this is the revival immortal spring I prepared for you. Go inside. Here, you can be reborn," Ye Chen said.
Yet Yu Qing still shook her head, refusing, her gaze always so gentle: "Yue, this is an immortal gift that can allow one to comprehend eternal life and immortality. If you delve into it, you might achieve the Dao and proclaim yourself Emperor. It shouldn't be wasted on me. You should have a better use for it."
"Silly girl." Ye Chen's hand caressed her illusory beautiful face, also smiling gently, filled with endless tenderness: "Without you all, what would becoming an Emperor or an immortal matter? My greatest wish is to have you all by my side, walking to the end of time."
Yu Qing laughed and cried, for there was no sweeter words than these.
"Come!"
Ye Chen gently sent Yu Qing's illusory True Spirit forward, continuously sprinkling the Immortality Divine Spring he had brought from outside during the process, causing her wisp of True Spirit to become much stronger.
Because she was too weak, he worried the efficacy of the Immortality Immortal Spring was too potent, hence his concern.
Finally, Yu Qing's True Spirit completely submerged into the Immortality Immortal Spring. Visible to the naked eye, endless Great Dao immortal principles surged and intertwined, nourishing Yu Qing's True Spirit.
It could be seen that her True Spirit was continuously growing stronger.
But it couldn't be completely restored in a short time. It required a very long period for repair, at least a hundred years, because Yu Qing's True Spirit was too fragile. It couldn't be rushed, otherwise, this wisp of True Spirit could easily be completely annihilated.
