Chapter 2403: Bing Hua’s Primordial Spirit

Chapter 2403: Chapter 2403: Bing Hua’s Primordial Spirit

Xu Huo sighed and said:

"The Ice Locust Ancestor reached the Peak of the Void Refining Realm over thirteen hundred years ago, just one step away from breaking through to the Integration Realm."

"But she was stuck at that step for over three hundred years, with no progress."

"To find a breakthrough method, the Ice Locust Ancestor decided to enter the Wilderness in search of opportunities."

"That journey took several hundred years, and she disappeared without a trace."

"Later, about five hundred years ago, she sent a message back once, saying she was near the Northern Domain, and after that, there was no more news."

"This matter is currently a top secret in our clan."

"I’m the only one in the entire Xu Family who knows."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded thoughtfully.

He didn’t doubt Xu Huo’s claim.

Because this item was given to him by Elder Fei when he was in the Northern Domain.

This also meant that Bing Hua might indeed have been to Black Cloud City and met Elder Fei.

However, there was one thing Zhou Yu was still puzzled about.

Bing Hua was only at the Peak of the Void Refining Realm; even if she broke through, she would only reach the Integration Realm. How could she be so significant to a Mahayana Realm expert like Elder Fei?

This was something Xu Huo likely couldn’t provide an answer for.

Zhou Yu spoke:

"Since Bing Hua is not here, let me hand the item over to her descendants."

"I heard from Xu Ling that your Xu Family is her direct lineage?"

Xu Huo quickly bowed and said:

"Junior is indeed a direct descendant of the Ice Locust Ancestor."

Zhou Yu said no more.

With a wave of his hand, a Jade Box appeared in front of him.

The Jade Box was bronze-colored, with only a single rune attached to it.

Yet, it was this single rune that made Zhou Yu very cautious.

Elder Fei reminded him when handing this item over that only Bing Hua herself or her direct descendants could open it.

Zhou Yu naturally wanted to try and see if he could open it.

But the moment he attempted, he immediately dismissed the thought.

Because the power contained in that rune far exceeded Zhou Yu’s understanding.

Zhou Yu speculated that Elder Fei might have sealed a Mahayana Realm Divine Skill within it.

If opened incorrectly, the force of a Mahayana Realm expert would burst forth.

Zhou Yu knew he couldn’t withstand it.

The key was even if he managed to fend off the attack using other means, the Jade Box would surely be damaged.

So Zhou Yu did not try further.

At this moment, Zhou Yu placed the Jade Box in front of Xu Huo.

"Let me remind you one last time, if you are not a direct descendant of Bing Hua, opening this recklessly will surely result in your death."

Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Xu Huo trembled all over, then respectfully said:

"Senior Zhou, junior dares not deceive."

"Alright."

"Then open it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Huo’s eye twitched.

Actually, he wanted to take the item away and open it after Zhou Yu left.

However, Zhou Yu clearly wouldn’t give him that chance.

Xu Huo had no choice but to accept the Jade Box and carefully consider it.

Then, he took a deep breath, forced out a drop of Essence Blood, and shot it onto the rune of the Jade Box.

The moment the Essence Blood touched the rune,

the rune on the Jade Box burst forth with dazzling light.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu also unconsciously activated the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique and Thunder Banner.

If things go wrong, he planned to escape immediately.

However, what Zhou Yu was worried about didn’t happen.

The dazzling light on the rune flickered rapidly for a moment and then returned to calm.

Suddenly, the rune on the Jade Box quietly extinguished.

Click!

The Jade Box opened on its own.

Inside the Jade Box quietly lay a Jade Talisman.

And a tiny porcelain bottle the size of a pinkie.

Seeing this, Xu Huo was extremely nervous.

He first glanced at Zhou Yu; Zhou Yu nodded lightly.

Then Xu Huo reached out to take the Jade Talisman and placed it against his forehead to examine it.

A moment later, Xu Huo’s face suddenly changed.

"How... can this be?"

Seeing Xu Huo’s reaction, Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow but did not rush, choosing to observe the situation quietly.

Before long, Xu Huo finished reviewing the Jade Talisman’s contents and slowly opened his eyes.

Facing Zhou Yu’s gaze, Xu Huo felt somewhat awkward but immediately bowed and said:

"Senior Zhou, this item is indeed left to us by the Ice Locust Ancestor, but I didn’t expect..."

Zhou Yu frowned.

"What’s wrong?"

Xu Huo took a deep breath and said:

"This Jade Talisman contains a message left to us by the Ice Locust Ancestor."

"In essence, she encountered danger in the Desolate Origin Realm and barely escaped with a strand of Primordial Spirit."

"Afterward, she preserved her Primordial Spirit using our clan’s Primordial Spirit Secret Technique."

"It’s in this item."

Xu Huo picked up the porcelain bottle next to him.

"This item is a unique Secret Treasure of our clan, called the Ten Thousand Souls Bottle."

"Using the Ten Thousand Souls Bottle and another Exotic Treasure in our clan, the Blood Soul Coffin, combined with our Secret Technique, the Ice Locust Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit can undergo body rebirth."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s expression froze, revealing a look of surprise.

There’s actually this kind of secret technique.

It’s known that when a cultivator’s Primordial Spirit is destroyed, the usual outcome is complete annihilation of both form and spirit.

Even if a strand of Primordial Spirit escapes, if a suitable vessel isn’t found quickly, it will soon become a wandering soul, losing all consciousness.

Yet Bing Hua managed to preserve the fragmented Primordial Spirit for hundreds of years, even longer.

And also returned from the Desolate Origin Realm to the Heavenly Origin World.

Moreover, there’s a way for body rebirth.

This technique is indeed extraordinary.

At this moment, Xu Huo couldn’t wait any longer.

He urgently said:

"Senior Zhou, the matter of the Ice Locust Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit undergoing body rebirth must be carried out immediately because once the sealing is opened, beyond seven days, it’ll be completely beyond recovery."

"I ask Senior to keep this matter confidential."

"I will immediately gather all the power of the Xu Family to save the Ice Locust Ancestor!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.

"Alright, do what you need to do."

"I’ll be here watching, if there’s a need, I can assist."

Zhou Yu naturally knew that Xu Huo and the others didn’t need his help.

But since Zhou Yu said it,

they wouldn’t dare refuse.

Indeed, Xu Huo hesitated slightly and then made up his mind, simultaneously bowing and said:

"Thank you, Senior."

Subsequently, Xu Huo immediately used Divine Thought Communication to summon Xu Tong swiftly.

After Xu Tong arrived, he bowed and said:

"Ancestor, what’s the matter?"

Xu Huo said solemnly:

"Activate our clan’s entire Clan Protection Array immediately; for the next forty-nine days, no one is allowed to enter or exit."

"Additionally, activate the forbidden zone in the clan, summon the nine descendants with bloodline marks to enter the forbidden zone immediately."

"Finally, notify all the Elders in the clan to proceed to the ancestral hall and retrieve the Blood Soul Coffin!"
