A surge of suffocating despair rose again.

The mysterious little tree that had saved him so many times was now barely alive due to him, unsure if it could be rescued.

Mu Jinyu didn't know what he was feeling in his heart at this moment.

Extremely complex.

Then, he thought of something and looked within at the Three-Leaf Youlian in his Dantian.

The Three-Leaf Youlian was doing well!

Although weaker compared to before he went to the Kunlun Ruins, having lost much Primordial Essence saving himself from Jing Wang, it had recovered quite a bit with time.

But the Three-Leaf Youlian tends more towards True Yuan and the physical body, unlike the mysterious little tree which leans towards the soul and mind—could it save Sheng Rulai?

Mu Jinyu gritted his teeth, still deciding to give it a try!

After all, although the Three-Leaf Youlian only tends towards True Yuan and the physical body, it doesn't mean it's completely helpless regarding the soul.

When in the Sea God Palace, it absorbed many Sea God Remnant Souls there without returning them to him.

Perhaps it could still awaken Sheng Rulai!

Mu Jinyu clung to the last straw like a drowning man, desperately urging the Three-Leaf Youlian to help heal Sheng Rulai!

Initially, the Three-Leaf Youlian was quietly rooted in his Dantian Qi Sea, unresponsive to Mu Jinyu's urgings.

But soon, as Mu Jinyu continued muttering wildly in his heart, the Three-Leaf Youlian seemed to sense Mu Jinyu's will, and finally, its leaves trembled slightly, releasing specks of white light.

Very different from the mystical light it usually scattered!

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu felt invigorated, knowing that Sheng Rulai might really be saved.

He hastily directed these faint white lights, drawing them from within him, then leading them into Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness.

"Ah!!"

During the process, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but cry out in pain, feeling as if his head was about to explode.

He was already very weak, with both his soul and True Yuan nearly exhausted and unable to recover, barely sustaining himself with Life Source Energy, introspecting his condition.

And now, invading Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness, he felt greatly uncomfortable under the illumination of the Buddha's Light.

It felt as though he had become a mere wraith, in front of Sheng Rulai's Buddha's Light—like an insignificant little ghost daring to invade the Buddha Head's Sea of Consciousness, self-destructing in the process...

Only now did Mu Jinyu realize how weak his soul had become.

Not long ago, he could easily invade Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness!

"Let me help you!"

Yin Li, seeing Mu Jinyu's embarrassment and helplessness, called out softly, then flew to hover above his head, helping guide the faint white lights into Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness.

"It works!"

Though Yin Li didn't have high hopes when sending these white lights into Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness, once they flowed inside, she invaded his Sea of Consciousness with her Spiritual Thought, faintly perceiving Sheng Rulai's shattered remnant soul pieces slowly healing in the scattered Buddha's Light within the sea...

Gradually restoring to their original form!

This immediately filled Yin Li with joy, knowing Sheng Rulai might really be saved!

"Hurry, hurry, bring out more..."

Yin Li excitedly urged Mu Jinyu.

Upon hearing Yin Li's words, Mu Jinyu knew the white lights from the Three-Leaf Youlian were indeed effective, acting as a divine medicine's power in healing the soul!

He continued, full of guilt, to urge the Three-Leaf Youlian to provide more of this medicine.

The Three-Leaf Youlian's weak leaves trembled gently a few times, finally forcing out over a dozen drops of white light.

Afterward, the Three-Leaf Youlian wilted visibly, becoming weaker than when it fought to save Mu Jinyu under Jing Wang's blade.

Yet, thankfully, it hadn't regressed into a seed like the mysterious little tree.

This relieved some of Mu Jinyu's guilt towards it but still felt uneasy.

Despite that, saving Sheng Rulai was more urgent at the moment; Mu Jinyu's head throbbed painfully, leaving him with no room to ponder further.

He rushed to extract the Youlian's medicinal power, handing it to Yin Li, though he couldn't witness whether this power could truly save Sheng Rulai...

Mu Jinyu's vision went black, unable to hold on any longer, and he fainted again!

"Jinyu!"

"Little Mu!"

His companions who were beside him couldn't help but call out in worry.

"Stop shouting, let me take a look..."

Mu Shao'ai furrowed his brows, urging them to step aside, then approached Mu Jinyu, holding his wrist, delving his Divine Sense into Mu Jinyu's body for a detailed examination.

The deeper he examined, the more furrowed Mu Shao'ai's brows became, turning his face gloomy.

Mu Jinyu's soul, in his desperation, had become more fragile and thin, barely stronger than an ordinary person with no cultivation.

Not even comparable to a Master of Energy Transformation!

Not to mention the terrifying soul he once possessed nearing the Void Breaking Realm!

This damage and soul's fragility were likely permanent, leaving him in this state for life!

Aside from his weakened soul, he had also dug out over half of his True Yuan root from his Qi Sea Dantian to save Sheng Rulai, causing his cultivation to likely fall from Unity Realm Stage to around Divinity Transformation Realm, possibly even lower!

A True Yuan's root is entirely different from ordinary True Yuan; when a cultivator's True Yuan is depleted, their cultivation doesn't simply regress to that of a commoner due to the True Yuan root's presence. By practicing cultivation, absorbing Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, the depleted True Yuan can quickly replenish!

Mu Jinyu's cultivation originally was at the Sixth Layer Hedao Realm; he had almost completed the True Yuan while urging the Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell, yet with decent practice cultivation, the depleted True Essence Power could still recover, retaining his status as a Sixth Layer Hedao Realm master!

But since he dug out the root of True Yuan to save Sheng Rulai, he could no longer simply practice cultivation to restore his Sixth Layer Unity Realm Stage prowess!

Mu Shao'ai was furious, feeling Mu Jinyu was truly being reckless!

Yet he also felt some compassion for Mu Jinyu, wondering why he had to treat himself this way!

Why?

"Sigh..."

He sighed loudly, not angry but disappointed, then quickly took out a pill vial, retrieving a Life-Saving Pill to feed Mu Jinyu urgently.

Immediately, Mu Jinyu's broken Dantian and shattered meridians quickly healed.

Then, Mu Shao'ai changed to a different pill vial, feeding Mu Jinyu.

This time, Mu Jinyu's fragile, wavering soul also stabilized.

Unfortunately, although Mu Shao'ai's elixir was excellent, it could only stabilize Mu Jinyu's injuries, not restore him!

Meanwhile.

After acquiring the Youlian Soul Medicine from Mu Jinyu, Yin Li began cautiously sending it into Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness, aiding the recovery of his soul.

Time passed slowly.

Mu Jinyu finally unknit his brow while unconscious, his expression no longer twisted in pain, quietly entering a deep sleep.

And as for Sheng Rulai, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze confused!

"Buddha Head!"

"Master!"

The monks surrounding Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, witnessing Sheng Rulai's eyes finally open, couldn't help but call out vigorously in excitement.
