Countless cultivators were bustling back and forth, delivering box after box of pills onto one of the Celestial Wave Crossings.
At this moment, Han Yu was laid out on the deck while Mo Xiuwen pried Han Yu’s mouth open and poured the pills in like pouring beans.
The scene was simple and brutal.
Yet despite this, Han Yu’s condition showed no sign of improvement.
Quan Xiaotong immediately sent for Xiao Yan and Luo Fen, but even after they examined Han Yu’s condition, they were equally at a loss.
"So many pills have been given that any normal cultivator would have been poisoned to death by now."
Xiao Yan frowned, sighing helplessly.
"This can only mean that the deficit within him is either a bottomless pit or is constantly worsening."
Luo Fen mused thoughtfully.
This, however, triggered a recollection for Xia Wuyou. He remembered something else that strange spirit body had entrusted him with and immediately spoke up seriously,
"Quick, find a way to extract all the power from his sea of consciousness."
Extract?
The group exchanged puzzled looks, seemingly unable to understand this method.
Xia Wuyou found it hard to explain and could only come up with an excuse, "It was what Han Yu instructed before he fell unconscious."
Since it was Han Yu’s instruction, there was no need to question further. Just follow it.
However, how to extract the power from the sea of consciousness turned out to be a problem.
"Let me give it a try."
A voice quietly sounded, and it was Su Xiaoxiao, who had been idling in a corner, who spoke softly.
He had unknowingly blended in, and seeing the Central Continent group at a loss, he couldn’t help but speak up.
If Han Yu were awake, he might not manage to do it, but in Han Yu’s current state, he could most likely drain his power without difficulty.
Speaking, he walked towards Han Yu.
Suddenly, two rushes of wind came forward as Xia Wuyou and Wang Ye sprang in front like startled cats.
"Please hold on, Senior. The matters of our Central Continent can be handled by ourselves."
Xia Wuyou spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, his gaze carrying a hint of vigilance.
Although Wang Ye did not speak, the Heart-Burning Flame quietly emanated from him.
Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback. He only wanted to lend a hand, not expecting to provoke such hostility.
He didn’t know it was due to the Artifact Spirit’s distrust of the Celestial Dao Sect.
"Are you going to stop me?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked incredulously.
Xia Wuyou looked conflicted but did not retreat, speaking solemnly, "We bear no malice towards you, Senior, but he is from our Central Continent, and we wish to save him ourselves."
Quan Xiaotong observed for a moment, scrutinizing Xia Wuyou and Wang Ye suspiciously before slowly stepping forward and speaking.
"Please don’t make it difficult for us, Senior. We’re all striving to save him."
As he spoke, those who had taken pills simultaneously released their aura.
While not a formidable force, it was enough...
Enough to kill one Su Xiaoxiao!
Without using Mu Zili’s assistance, these Central Continent people really could fight him to death!
Su Xiaoxiao’s face darkened, and after a silent, cold snort, he left in a huff.
"Don’t come crying to me if you regret it later!"
He indeed felt offended, as it was evident the person could be their Celestial Dao Sect member, yet these folks treated him like a treasure.
After Su Xiaoxiao left, Xia Wuyou glanced at Quan Xiaotong with a conflicted expression, "Han Yu said not to let anyone take him away before he wakes."
"Ha!"
Quan Xiaotong rolled his eyes but chuckled meaningfully before immediately getting to work.
"To expel the power from the sea of consciousness, I should be able to try."
Mo Xiuwen said as he quickly flew back to his workshop, soon juggling numerous mechanism components in his hands.
"I’m going to treat him like a spirit stone and try extracting it."
Under normal circumstances, Mo Xiuwen wouldn’t dare pull this off, but Han Yu had too many powerful elements, and this might be the simplest and crudest method.
Moments later, only Han Yu’s mouth remained exposed to consume pills, while the rest was tightly shrouded in mechanisms.
As Mo Xiuwen initiated the mechanism, a powerful force surged skyward, nearly startling everyone there.
The sheer magnitude of the force was intimidating, prompting even the departing Su Xiaoxiao to turn back, wide-eyed in shock.
"At this level of battle, did he still have that much power left?"
Damn it, you dared to hold back while fighting a Divine Dao Realm?
Not right, and you actually have the nerve...
Something’s off, Su Xiaoxiao was in turmoil, completely at a loss on how to describe Han Yu’s actions.
Who fights a Divine Dao Realm yet retains such a vast amount of power?
But then again, no other divine platform can fight off a Divine Dao Realm with such skill.
Xia Wuyou’s expression shifted drastically, his first thought was that this was likely another of Han Yu’s secrets.
Thinking fast, he urgently addressed Mo Xiuwen, "Can you find a way to prevent such a massive display of force from exposing him?"
He could anticipate Han Yu’s sea of consciousness being vast, but he didn’t want others to know too.
Mo Xiuwen pondered deeply, then suddenly a light dawned in his eyes as a solution struck him.
"Bring me a pile of Void Spirit Jade."
His idea was similarly straightforward: to remodel the mechanism, changing from power release to charging the Void Spirit Jade.
"When the time comes and this guy wakes up, I can recharge him again."
That way, he can be reused repeatedly.
At this point, it seems like all we need to do is follow the procedure step by step.
Although Han Yu showed no signs of improvement, with the continuous infusion of pills, his life was at least barely hanging on.
Even Xiao Yan and Luo Fen, after observing for a while, returned to their own ship to start refining pills.
After all, Han Yu was consuming so much that not only did the two of them have to practice alchemy, but the cultivators under their command were also being mobilized one by one.
"Damn it, if worse comes to worst, just increase the dosage! Anyway, he’s the only one who can consume it, whether it kills him or not."
Xiao Yan suddenly said to Luo Fen, not expecting Luo Fen to have the same thought.
This thing was entirely customized for Han Yu; as long as he doesn’t die from it, increasing the dosage is no big deal.
And as it seems now, even a tenfold increase in dosage seems fine.
"There’s a problem; it was toxic to begin with, and now it’s even more toxic."
Xiao Yan grimaced; if this thing were to be let out from their hands, it would definitely ruin their reputation for eternity, becoming the most elusive poison pill in contemporary Central Continent.
Inherently non-toxic, and even beneficial, but whoever eats it dies!
"Come over here, you two."
Seeing that everything was proceeding smoothly, Quan Xiaotong paused for a moment before suddenly calling out to Xia Wuyou and Wang Ye.
Three rays of light flew toward another Celestial Wave Crossing ship, and upon boarding, the deck was guarded by cultivators, but the cabin was empty.
The three proceeded through to a room, and as soon as they entered, Quan Xiaotong suddenly made a move, enveloping the large room with a barrier.
After doing all this, he looked at the two with a faint smile.
Who were Xia Wuyou and Wang Ye? They were leaders of the Nine Sects; what situations hadn’t they encountered before? How could they be intimidated by Quan Xiaotong’s gaze?
Each of them calmly met Quan Xiaotong’s gaze without retreating.
After a long time, Quan Xiaotong suddenly laughed, "There really seems to be something going on."
If there were nothing, the two of them wouldn’t be so composed, staring at him here.
Besides, Xia Wuyou’s excuses were full of contradictions – was everything really Han Yu’s arrangement?
Someone in such critical condition, even comatose, could they really make such detailed and thorough arrangements?
Was he making arrangements for his own affairs?
"What exactly did you discover?"
Quan Xiaotong decided to get straight to the point and directly asked.
"We discovered nothing."
Xia Wuyou and Wang Ye said in unison, but after speaking, their expressions turned grim.
Damn it, they fell into the other party’s verbal trap.
Dealing with such a clever person was genuinely exhausting; a slight slip and you could be ensnared by words.
However, Quan Xiaotong’s face became even more serious, "I know no less about the secrets of Han Yu than you do. I’m not deliberately inquiring, but without me, it would be very hard to keep Han Yu’s secrets hidden."
Everything in Central Continent revolves around him, and naturally, he is aware of everything.
Whatever he wanted to know was easy to uncover, and naturally, keeping something hidden was also extremely easy.
Did they really think he hadn’t interfered with Han Yu’s secrets in Central Continent before?
Initially, those disparate Qi Fortune Cultivators existed because he feared people would guess about Han Yu.
The fact that Han Yu needs Qi Fortune has been kept tightly under wraps by him.
"Don’t forget, I’ve always been the one who believed in him the most, not any of you."
Quan Xiaotong sneered.
This was actually true; Quan Xiaotong might not have been the first to believe in Han Yu, but he was certainly the one who invested the most effort in him.
Otherwise, Han Yu would never have ignored everyone’s face but not Quan Xiaotong’s.
Whatever Quan Xiaotong had requested, as long as it wasn’t too troublesome, Han Yu would almost never refuse.
From the attitude of the cultivators in the Imperial Court towards Han Yu, one could naturally see Quan Xiaotong’s attitude towards him.
Who else could regard the Guardian Mansion’s communication tools as a transit station, if not him?
Before Xia Wuyou, looking troubled, couldn’t help exchanging a glance with Wang Ye.
Wang Ye shook his head, "You make the decision."
But Xia Wuyou still hesitated, and finally, Quan Xiaotong spoke again.
"Why don’t I take the lead, and we three swear a Dao Oath!"
Damn! Taking it to such lengths!
The two were apparently shocked by Quan Xiaotong’s suggestion.
But it seemed to be the only way the three of them could accept.
"Alright, then this matter can only be known to the three of us, and it must not be spoken of again."
Xia Wuyou nodded. If that’s the case, he could indeed accept it.
"I solemnly vow to the Dao, sacrificing my own path, that today’s matters concerning Han Yu will never be shared with a fourth person. Should I fail, may I meet instant death and the end of my path."
Quan Xiaotong formed a hand seal and slowly spoke, a special rhythm surrounding him; after he spoke, a radiance entered him, as if another indescribable shackle was added.
Seeing the other party finish, Xia Wuyou and the others immediately echoed the vow, similarly receiving two shackles that entered their bodies one by one.
Dao Oaths!
With one’s life and path as the price, they vow to self-impose constraints. Upon breach, immediate retribution will follow, resulting in certain death.
At this time, Quan Xiaotong spoke again, quietly observing the two.
"Now can you tell me?"
