Finally, after a fierce collision, that black energy seemed to be completely suppressed and disappeared without a trace, and the brilliant golden aura once again shone throughout the entire hall.
The body of Xuan Hua Emperor Lord also stopped trembling, and he slowly stood upright. The look of pain on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a faint smile.
He turned around and looked at Shangguan Yaochi and Lanxin with tenderness in his eyes: "You don't need to worry, I'm fine."
Shangguan Yaochi and Lanxin both breathed a sigh of relief as the mysterious dark energy finally dissipated. Xuan Hua Emperor Lord also finally broke free from the erosion of that dark energy.
"Since there's nothing going on here, let's hurry back to the immortal realm," said Xuan Hua Emperor Lord.
Shangguan Yaochi nodded and hurried back with Xuan Hua Emperor Lord to report everything that had happened to the upper realm.
However, just as they were about to leave, a faint sound suddenly came from deep within the hall.
The sound was faint and delicate, as if a pearl had fallen onto a jade plate.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord and Shangguan Yaochi looked at each other, both feeling a hint of doubt in their hearts. They quickly walked towards the source of the sound, only to see a crystal-clear teardrop slowly falling from the sky, eventually landing on the ground.
The teardrop left a small mark on the ground, but emitted a faint glow.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord squatted down and gently picked up the teardrop.
The fairy tears, like a sparkling gem, were unlike any gem in the mortal realm. It trembled lightly in the hands of Xuan Hua Emperor Lord, as if it had a life of its own.
The interior of the teardrop seems to contain a tiny world, filled with various strange colors and flowing light and shadow.
"This is..." Shangguan Yaochi looked at the teardrop in her hand in amazement, feeling the immense power contained within it.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he gave the teardrop to Shangguan Yaochi, saying:
"This is a fairy tears. It is a tear shed by an extremely powerful immortal in a state of extreme sadness and despair. This kind of teardrop is extremely rare, as it only flows when an immortal's soul is greatly impacted and they are in a desperate situation."
Shangguan Yaochi reached out and took the fairy tears, looking at it, feeling a wave of heartache. She imagined everything the fairy had experienced, filled with sympathy.
"Legend has it that fairy tears contain powerful magic. They can heal wounds, dispel darkness, and even bring about rebirth," continued Xuan Hua Emperor Lord.
"Fairy tears is an extremely precious existence. Those who can condense into fairy tears must be extremely powerful immortals. Master, what should we do now?" asked Shangguan Yaochi.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord took a deep breath, a firm light flashed in his eyes: "Let's bring this fairy tears back to the immortal realm first."
Shangguan Yaochi nodded, and then she and Xuan Hua Emperor Lord set out on the journey back to the immortal realm.
In a magnificent palace in the immortal realm, numerous immortals gathered together, their expressions unusually solemn. In the center of the palace, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord stood, with his disciple Shangguan Yaochi by his side. Xuan Hua Emperor Lord was reporting to the gathered immortals about the anomalies they had discovered in the mortal and immortal realms.
"...So, we discovered a massive dark energy attached to an immortal, attempting to seize the spiritual vein of the mortal world. After a fierce battle, we finally managed to stop it. Before the immortal passed away, he left behind a fairy tear, which seemed to contain a trace of his primordial spirit," Xuan Hua Emperor Lord's voice echoed throughout the entire palace.
Blue Lotus Immortal Lord, a handsome young immortal, nodded gently, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes: "In that case, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord, are you safe and sound?"
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord smiled slightly and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Blue Lotus Immortal Lord. I am safe."
At this moment, Shangguan Yaochi was somewhat puzzled. She remembered that during the battle, Master had been possessed by dark energy, but now Master had not mentioned it. She didn't know why Master would conceal this, and couldn't help but worry.
In the hall, the immortals began to discuss. They all felt that this matter was very serious and needed to investigate the source of the dark energy. After some discussion, the immortals decided to wait for the return of the goddess Yueshea in a month, and the five great immortals would simultaneously activate "The Mirror of Enlightenment" in the hope of gaining insight into everything.
"So, let's proceed with this decision. I hope we can clarify everything as soon as possible," said the Blue Lotus Immortal Lord as he stood up, his voice serious and resolute.
The immortals nodded one after another, and then dispersed.
After all the immortals had left, Shangguan Yaochi couldn't help but walk up to Xuan Hua Emperor Lord and ask in a low voice, "Master, why didn't you tell them about being possessed by dark energy?"
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord looked at her, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes. He gently patted her head and smiled, saying, "Yaochi, there are some things that are not yet the right time to be said. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Shangguan Yaochi looked into Master's eyes. Although she still had doubts in her heart, she knew that Master must have his reasons. So, she nodded and stopped asking further.
The two returned to the immortal mansion of Xuan Hua Emperor Lord. This immortal mansion is located in a lush green valley, surrounded by drifting immortal mist, as if it were a paradise on earth.
The interior of the immortal mansion is even more magnificent, filled with all kinds of rare and precious treasures, displaying the noble status of the owner.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord led Shangguan Yaochi into a spacious training room. This was where he usually secludes himself for cultivation, and the air was filled with rich spiritual energy, creating a tranquil and refreshing atmosphere.
"Yaochi, I need to seclude myself for a while to recuperate," said Xuan Hua Emperor Lord in a calm voice, but a hint of weariness could be seen in his eyes.
Shangguan Yaochi looked at Master with some worry. She knew that Master had consumed a large amount of immortal power in the battle, and the erosion of that dark energy was not easy to recover from.
"Master, rest assured, Yaochi will definitely protect the immortal mansion well and not let anyone disturb you," Shangguan Yaochi said, her eyes filled with determination.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord smiled slightly and nodded, "I know you can do it. Remember, when it's close to a month, I will come out of seclusion on my own. During this time, you should focus on practicing and improving your own strength."
Shangguan Yaochi obediently nodded in response to Master's words. She watched as Master slowly disappeared behind the door of the training room, feeling some doubt in her heart, but she believed that Master must have his own plans.
The door of the training room slowly closed, and the figure of Xuan Hua Emperor Lord disappeared within. Shangguan Yaochi stood outside the door, took a deep breath, and then turned away.
In the following days, Shangguan Yaochi diligently practiced as instructed by Master, striving to enhance her own strength. The immortal realm was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, and the appearance of that dark energy made her feel a hint of unease.
Shangguan Yaochi has decided that she must become stronger in order to better protect herself and stand by Master when needed.
Day after day, Shangguan Yaochi diligently focused on her cultivation. Her strength gradually increased, and her immortal energy became purer. Everything in the immortal mansion was also in perfect order, without any abnormalities.
Like this, as time passed day by day, when it was almost a month, Shangguan Yaochi began to look forward to the Master's retreat.
Suddenly, as Shangguan Yaochi closed her eyes to focus on her cultivation, a cold and dark aura silently rose from the ground and approached her. This dark aura was extremely subtle, almost undetectable unless carefully observed.
However, just as the dark aura was about to reach Shangguan Yaochi, a dazzling light burst forth from her storage bag. The fairy tears she had obtained from the immortal unexpectedly emitted a strong radiance, instantly obliterating the dark aura, leaving no trace behind.
Shangguan Yaochi was awakened by this sudden vision, she widened her eyes and looked in amazement at the fairy tears in her hand. She could feel that this fairy tears contained an extremely powerful force, enough to resist the invasion of that black energy.
She was shocked and immediately thought of Master. If this black energy could silently invade, then would Master's training room also be in such danger?
I dare not hesitate at all. Shangguan Yaochi immediately got up and hurried towards Xuan Hua Emperor Lord's training room.
Full of anxiety, she knew that Master was currently in seclusion for cultivation, and any disturbance could lead to unimaginable consequences.
Arriving at the door of the training room, Shangguan Yaochi took a deep breath and carefully pushed it open, only to be stunned by the scene in front of her.
