Chapter 15: The Power of Life Spring, Truly Terrifying!

Chapter 15: The Power of Life Spring, Truly Terrifying!

Shao Hua was in high spirits after obtaining the Annihilation Godly Art and the Lin Character Secret.

The two were closely related, sharing profound principles. In fact, the Lin Character Secret could be considered the ultimate refinement of the Annihilation Ancient Sutra.

Between life and death lies annihilation, and also transformation—a unique cultivation method.

Reviving from annihilation and undergoing transformation requires immense power, and the Lin Character Secret simplifies this process to the extreme.

Its essence is plunder, aimed at strengthening the Primordial Essence internally, and externally, it manifests as a formidable physique.

Shao Hua's Primordial Essence and physique were already powerful enough, so the Lin Character Secret was merely an embellishment. What she cared more about was the true meaning of annihilation contained in the ancient sutra.

"Perhaps the Annihilation Celestial Sovereign lived a second life before achieving enlightenment, otherwise, how could he have created such a godly art?"

In Shao Hua's Immortal Terrace, countless sparks of wisdom illuminated. This ancient sutra and godly art greatly inspired her, potentially helping her live a second life.

She also suspected that the Feather Ascension Emperor might have obtained the Annihilation Godly Art and, referencing the Supreme Dharma Gate of the Holy Spirit lineage, reversed the process, annihilating his own flesh to transform into a Stone Embryo.

Over hundreds of thousands of years, nourished by the essence of heaven and earth, he preserved a bit of imperishable spirit, eventually transforming into a perfected Holy Spirit and becoming an emperor once more.

"Yaochi Sacred Land, your Holy Lord has returned!"

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to Shao Hua's return, as everyone was listening to the Western Sovereign's teachings.

How frustrating, when had she ever suffered such an indignity?

"Hmm?!" The Western Sovereign, seated on the Dao Platform, glanced over.

Shao Hua immediately became obedient, cute, and understanding.

Little Wu Shi, sensing a familiar presence, suddenly opened his bright eyes and exclaimed, "Sister!"

"Shh~" Shao Hua had already set up a soundproof barrier as his eyelashes fluttered, to avoid disturbing others. She leaned down, picked up the slightly grown Wu Shi, and smiled.

"Where did you go, sister?" Little Wu Shi pouted, his lively eyes misting over, then he excitedly added, "Sister, I can fly now!"

For cultivators, flying is not difficult; one only needs to attain the Life Spring realm to ride divine rainbows and soar through the skies.

However, Shao Hua was certain that his parents had not taught Wu Shi cultivation. At most, they had helped him understand the basic knowledge of the world, some secrets, and the principles of the Dao.

But Wu Shi was born a sage. Although his cultivation had been erased, he had once reached that realm, and some things were ingrained in his very bones.

His Bitter Sea was naturally open, and his Primordial Essence was immensely powerful. With the superior external environment and proximity to the Dao, he occasionally came into contact with some scriptures and Daoic resonances, and in his innocence, he naturally embarked on the path of cultivation.

Sometimes, the gap between people is greater than the distance between heaven and earth.

Shao Hua looked at Little Wu Shi, who lifted his head, seeking praise. She nodded vigorously, giving him a hearty compliment:

"Truly worthy of being my brother, you've reached the Life Spring realm at less than two years old. Truly terrifying, indeed! You truly have the potential to become an immortal!"

She believed that teaching children should focus on support and encouragement to build confidence. Otherwise, how would they develop an unyielding heart when they grow up?

Especially for Wu Shi, no amount of praise was too much.

"Hehe", Little Wu Shi chuckled, revealing two little tiger teeth, and laughed foolishly.

Then, as if remembering something, he raised his small, meaty fist and swung it forcefully, his eyes determined, as if he were about to quell a dark turmoil.

"Father says, a man must stand up for his sister. I'll beat up anyone who bullies you!"

Shao Hua found it amusing. You, a little radish head, protecting your sister?

But she wouldn't say anything about overestimating his abilities or mock him, because this was a man's dream and belief.

No matter how young, one deserves respect and protection.

Shao Hua's lips curved into a smile, a glint of amusement in her eyes, but her expression remained solemn as she stared directly at Little Wu Shi. In a grave voice, she said, "I'll take you up on that, little brother. From now on, I'll be waiting for you to protect me."

"Of course! Pinky promise, never to change, not even after a million years, forever and ever!" Wu Shi extended his tiny finger, making his solemn vow.

After finally dealing with her parents, Shao Hua turned her attention back to her role as the kindergarten principal, responsible for teaching a few big and little rascals.

"Milady, they have arrived."

Lan Ling brought Nan Jinping and Li Xingruo, two little girls, and with Little Wu Shi nearby, the decision was made.

Shao Hua nodded, retrieving the Arctic Immortal Radiance. With a wave of her hand, three strands of the radiance entered the bodies of the three children.

For the two little girls, this was a great blessing, laying a solid foundation that would greatly benefit their future cultivation.

Little Wu Shi, however, didn't need this. The foundation he needed was already established in the womb, with an abundance of primordial essence.

So, Shao Hua left a seal in his strand of the immortal radiance, containing the scriptures she had created and some of her own insights.

Shao Hua helped the two little girls refine the immortal radiance, while Little Wu Shi closed his eyes, enthusiastically playing with the immortal radiance dragon floating in the Bitter Sea.

"Lan Ling, I remember, aren't you older than me?" Shao Hua, multitasking, asked the cool and beautiful attendant beside her.

"Yes, I am over eight thousand years old. I fear I won't be able to serve you for much longer", Lan Ling said, her eyes dimming slightly.

Shao Hua fell silent, noticing a strand of gray in her hair.

At some point, the once vibrant indigo hair had lost some of its luster.

"Have you any regrets after all these years?" Shao Hua sighed, lamenting the merciless passage of time.

"After all, you are of ancient noble blood, and I publicly humiliated you, forcing you to stay, almost as a slave."

"No!" Hearing this, Lan Ling became unexpectedly agitated. She didn't see it that way at all and fervently said, "It was Milady who woke me up, granting me a new life. Otherwise, I would have remained in a daze in the Tai Chu Ancient Mine, subject to abuse. You have given me a second chance!"

Shao Hua: "."

If at first it was out of necessity and a twisted mindset, after thousands of years together, Lan Ling had long been completely won over by Shao Hua, willing to follow her wholeheartedly.

Shao Hua didn't quite understand why things had turned out this way. She had already lifted the restrictions on Lan Ling, but after some thought, she could only conclude that everyone has their own path.

"I want to seal you in the Divine Source for future generations. Are you willing?"

"Is it to protect the young master?" Lan Ling couldn't help but ask.

She naturally would follow Shao Hua's orders, but her loyalty was to Shao Hua herself, even showing only appropriate respect to the Western Sovereign.

"Are you unwilling?" Shao Hua chuckled, without any hint of blame.

"I have no objections", Lan Ling replied.

"I know what you mean. Sealing you is not to protect him. I understand his potential better than anyone. That child has his own path to walk and doesn't need me to pave the way for him."

"Sealing you for the future is simply for the day we meet again." Shao Hua bestowed a strand of the Arctic Immortal Radiance to her.

"After all, I don't have many friends left."
