Primordial Emperor
Chapter 1605 1604: Banishing the Cold Poison
"Inside here... Inside here, could it really be all Water of Life?"
When Xiao Chitai's Spiritual Sense extended into the Jade Gourd and discovered it was filled with Water of Life, his entire being trembled violently.
Even with his extraordinary composure, at this moment, his heart was filled with immense shock, and tears uncontrollably streamed from his eyes.
He had exhausted every effort in search of this Water of Life for decades, yet it had always remained elusive. However, today, holding it tightly in his hands felt almost dream-like and surreal.
In recent days, Zi Tianyi's condition had worsened, and Xiao Chitai had fallen into despair, believing his wife was beyond saving.
Unexpectedly, this lifesaving hope arrived so quickly, and it was brought back by his own daughter.
Xiao Chitai clutched the Jade Gourd filled with Water of Life, his body trembling continuously. Staring at the Jade Gourd in his hand, his heart reignited with blazing determination, and a glimmer appeared in his eyes.
Immediately, Xiao Chitai's figure flickered and disappeared from where he stood, reappearing the next moment in the Cold Ice Secret Room within the Yellow Hall.
He pushed open the stone door of the secret room, arriving excitedly at the Cold Jade Bed, gazing at the pale-faced woman on it as a wave of sorrow surged in his heart.
Compared to half a year ago, Zi Tianyi's physical condition had further deteriorated.
If treatment was delayed any longer, within half a year, the icy qi would engulf her entire head, and by then, even the Water of Life might be of no avail.
Throughout the past half year, Xiao Chitai daily used True Yuan to suppress the Cold Poison, but the effect gradually weakened.
As the Cold Poison continued to consume Zi Tianyi's vitality, it became increasingly difficult to suppress.
Xiao Chitai was on the brink of giving up when, fortunately, divine providence intervened, ultimately bringing hope back to him through his daughter, who returned with the Water of Life.
According to the miraculous vitality effects of Water of Life, just one drop could completely neutralize the Cold Poison afflicting Zi Tianyi.
And within this Jade Gourd, there were several cubic feet of Water of Life; with such an abundance, if Xiao Chitai still couldn't save Zi Tianyi, it would indeed be his incompetence.
Subsequently, wasting no time, Xiao Chitai waved his large hand, tossing out the Jade Gourd and using Spiritual Power to levitate it above Zi Tianyi's body.
Then, Xiao Chitai, controlling the Jade Gourd with Spiritual Power, opened it, allowing the Water of Life to drip onto Zi Tianyi's body.
Since the Jade Gourd contained ample Water of Life, Xiao Chitai was not stingy at all. This matter concerned saving his wife, and since it was returned by his daughter, he would not hesitate.
Thus, to ensure the Water of Life could perform its magic, Xiao Chitai started by directly controlling the Jade Gourd to release thirty drops of Water of Life at once.
Buzz—
As the Water of Life dripped onto Zi Tianyi's body, she instantly appeared radiant, and her body, originally corroded by the Cold Poison, rapidly regained its luster visibly.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Chitai was overjoyed, yet he knew it was not the time for celebration; he must quickly infuse the Water of Life into every inch of Zi Tianyi's Meridians.
If Zi Tianyi were conscious, she could circulate her cultivation technique to allow Spiritual Power to flow within her, thereby absorbing the Water of Life.
But now, Zi Tianyi's body was frozen, naturally incapable of absorbing the Water of Life on her own.
Thus, it fell to Xiao Chitai to inject Spiritual Power into Zi Tianyi, assisting her in delivering the Water of Life throughout her body.
As the Water of Life was disseminated to all parts of Zi Tianyi's body, wisps of sinister, icy death qi rampaged within her, trying to block the vitality of the Water of Life and prevent it from repairing her body.
"Hmph, today, no one will stop me from expelling the death qi from Tianyi!"
Xiao Chitai snorted coldly as powerful Spiritual Power propelled the Water of Life toward the malignant Cold Poison.
Previously, Xiao Chitai had spent decades contending with these Cold Poisons using his own Spiritual Power, and even with his strength, he couldn't lift these frigid forces, only stave them off to slow the Cold Qi's encroachment on Zi Tianyi's body.
However, now with such a large amount of Water of Life, Xiao Chitai refused to believe he couldn't overcome these Cold Poisons.
Thus, under Xiao Chitai's control, he gradually neutralized the Cold Poison within Zi Tianyi's body using Spiritual Power.
Ultimately, under the vitality of the Water of Life, those Cold Poisons were wildly purged. Forced back step by step by the energizing essence of Water of Life, Xiao Chitai watched with glee, controlling the vitality of Water of Life to engulf and capture the poisons.
As the Cold Poisons were eradicated, Zi Tianyi's skin gradually transformed from pale to rosy, her body warming and no longer cold.
Those sinister Cold Poisons, surrounded by the mighty vitality of the Water of Life, no longer resisted but chose not to fight back against it as they too acknowledged the power of the Water of Life, being instantaneously dissolved on contact.
Hence, that Cold Poison immediately converged toward Zi Tianyi's heart...
"Not good, those scoundrels are heading toward Tianyi's heart."
Xiao Chitai realized and quickly maneuvered the Water of Life to intercept the Cold Poison, but it was too late, failing to intercept all of it; a substantial portion hid inside Zi Tianyi's heart, causing her once red heart to be shrouded in black mist.
Xiao Chitai dared to let the Water of Life attack the Cold Poison from the outside, but not directly inside the heart, lest it backfired, jeopardizing her life.
In that case, at best, her heart meridian would be damaged; at worst, she might die immediately.
This was absolutely not what Xiao Chitai wished to see, so his expression turned exceedingly grim, leading him to abandon his assault on the Cold Poison.
Xiao Chitai's Divine Soul returned to his body, and an overwhelming sense of defeat washed over him as he sighed silently.
"To think, even with such an abundance of Water of Life in my hands, I'm unable to completely eradicate the Cold Poison. How useless I am."
Xiao Chitai blamed himself.
In truth, it was not entirely his fault, as the Cold Poison had been eroding Zi Tianyi's body for so long, and even a miraculous substance like Water of Life couldn't entirely eliminate it in one go.
This was why the current situation occurred.
If anyone else attempted this, they might not have achieved even these results in eliminating the Cold Poison.
