CHAPTER 107 HEALING

The eight Holy Lands for martial arts had been guarding the forbidden area for numerous years. Since

the beginning, no one had ever attempted to enter it.

Scott Ao was the first person who tried to do so. However, to his surprise, he couldn't make it. The

power of the obstruction was too strong.

The other Holy Lords also fell to the ground.

"I just found out that the forbidden area you guard houses a living creature. Who is there?" asked a

Holy Lord named Landon Lei.

Now, the two middle-aged men who guarded the forbidden area came over and narrated what

happened in detail.

"A young man who reached the Spirit Realm is in there?"

The Holy Lords asked in disbelief. It seemed impossible. Even Scott could not get in. How could a

young man who was only in the Spirit Realm make it?

"Distinguished Holy Lords, he was a guy with black spikes covering his body. I didn't know what

happened to him," one of the guards said.

Scott looked grim and frowned when hearing the story.

"Dammit," he cursed. The Holy Lord of Lotus Holy Land stood out and said, "Do you remember the

strange thing that happened in Barren Wasteland a few months ago? Was he the one in the coffin?"

"I don't think so. That day, each Holy Land sent hundreds of cultivators in the Wonder Realm to

suppress the fiend. He seemed to have been shocked by something. During the escape, he injured

more than ten cultivators, indicating that he had immense strength."

"But, if the guy who entered the forbidden area had black spikes, then he must have had some

business with the fiend in the coffin. If he entered the forbidden area, I am afraid that..."

The faces of the Holy Lords turned grim.

"It's no use guessing it. Let's get out of here and see for ourselves what will happen."

……

After a long discussion among the Holy Lords of the Holy Lands, Scott stared at the door with no

words. He had an ominous premonition.

"Lord, I did it unintentionally, please spare me," Frank pleaded as he knelt on the ground with his heart

in his boots.

Scott ignored Frank and walked away.

This silent atmosphere made Frank extremely fearful. It was even more uncomfortable than being killed

with a fist. The place he knelt on was already full of sweat.

Seeing the Lord walking away, Frank felt relieved. "I have made a lot of contributions to the Dragon

Sect all these years. Lord, please show me mercy."

The moment he stood up, his body turned into sand, drifting in the wind...

……

After Darren was swallowed by the black, giant mouth, he went unconscious.

He woke up in a large hall supported by hundreds of huge stone pillars engraved with quaint patterns.

Its ceiling was full of cobwebs and dust. It looked as if it had been abandoned for thousands of years.

Rusted black iron chains intertwined with the huge stone pillars and extended across the entire hall.

Overwhelmed with pain, Darren almost fainted again. Then, he found Elsa in his arms. She was also

very pale and seriously injured.

He immediately took out the spiritual herbs from the Space Ring and swallowed them, which helped

speed up his healing.

By the time he was able to consume thousands of them, he found himself feeling better, completely

free of pain.

He continued to eat the herbs as he sat behind Elsa and instilled spiritual energy into her body.

A few hours later, the sword core in Darren's belly emitted a subtle roar. This indicated that he already

managed to feel Elsa's sword core. Color finally returned to Elsa's skin. She no longer looked pale. Her

cheeks flushed and she was filled with energy.

Cough!

Elsa coughed out some dark blood and opened her eyes.

Immediately, she inspected her surroundings. Relief filled her when she saw a familiar face.

Darren stopped instilling the spiritual energy the moment she woke up. With pale lips, he smiled at her.

Elsa was tearful, but she couldn't say a word. She threw herself into Darren's arms.

"Thank god I have you," she said softly as she held him warmly.

"It's okay, Elsa. It's okay," Darren soothed her as he rubbed her back. He then took out hundreds of

spiritual herbs. "Here, Elsa. Absorb these. It would be too slow if I were to continue instilling the

spiritual energy to you," he instructed.

With her lips resting lightly on Darren's face and her arms around him, she held him tighter and

whispered, "You lied to me. Hmph!"

"What? I lied to you?" Darren replied, confused.

"Rune," Elsa replied with a glint in her eye. "The next time you lie to me like this, I will bite you!" she

teased.

A warm feeling swept over Darren. Suddenly, he could not feel any of the pain he had been feeling.

Even his mind was in a state of discomposure.

He stood and looked at the beautiful face in front of him. Reaching out, he touched her soft hair. It

could not get any better than this.

"Hey!"

"Hum?" Darren suddenly turned pale. "Elsa, did you hear something?"

"Yes, I did. Where are we?" she replied as she immediately let go of their embrace and looked at their

surroundings. She was surprised to see so many black chains.

"It is the forbidden area of a Holy Land," Darren frowned. "Okay, never mind. Ignore it. Absorb the

herbs to heal yourself. We will find a way out after we recover," he said.

Elsa nodded and picked up the herbs to absorb them.

It took them more than ten days to completely recover.

In those days, they consumed nearly 30, 000 herbs to cure their injuries.

"Breathe," Darren muttered when he opened his eyes.

"What's going on?" Elsa asked. There was something wrong, she felt it.

"I did my best to control the dose but... I think I may have absorbed too much spiritual energy. I am

almost at the Mysterious Realm," he replied. He looked very concerned.

"What should we do? You have to stop absorbing spiritual energy," Elsa replied, worried about Darren.

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself," Darren nodded. Something else seemed to bother him.

Once he reached the Mysterious Realm, enormous spiritual energy would enter his body. This would

cause conflict between the blade internal force and the sword intent. This conflict might kill him.

What was more, the sword intent was much stronger than the blade internal force. Under such

circumstances, a struggle between them might cause bad things to happen.

Darren thought for a while.

'If blade internal force is defeated by the sword intent, the powerful sword intent will split my body into

pieces in an instant, ' he speculated.

Thinking of this, Darren stopped absorbing spiritual energy. He would die if he accidentally broke into

the realm.

'Only when sword intent and blade internal force are well-matched in strength could I survive entering This belongs to - ©.

the Mysterious Realm, ' he realized. 'What I have to do for now is to strengthen my blade internal force

so I can prepare to achieve a higher realm.'

"Darren, look!" Elsa suddenly yelled, frightened.

Darren immediately woke up from his meditation and turned his gaze to the area where the sound

came from. However, he saw nothing but a dark hall.
