Chapter 1525: Chapter 1525: Qiao Jiaxi’s Injury (Part 1)

"Sect Leader, I succeeded!"

Qiao Jiaxi dragged his exhausted body back to Ye Feng’s side, cupping his hands with excitement, not expecting to win this battle.

"Well done!"

Ye Feng patted Qiao Jiaxi on the shoulder, but soon his expression changed.

"Jiaxi, you made us proud!"

Long Tianxing, Ji Ziling, Huo Yunjie, and Mo Ying gathered around, patting Qiao Jiaxi’s shoulder and feeling curious about his green hair that almost drooped to the ground, unable to resist the urge to touch it.

"Oh!"

"Why can’t we touch your green hair?"

Everyone was surprised to find that their hands passed through Qiao Jiaxi’s green hair as though it was a projection, not solid.

"Is there?"

Qiao Jiaxi touched his hair and could feel the green long hair, unlike the others.

"Only you can touch it, we can’t."

Ye Feng’s voice sounded.

Everyone looked over and saw Ye Feng reaching out to touch Qiao Jiaxi’s green hair, which also passed through like it was a projection.

"What’s going on?"

Qiao Jiaxi was surprised.

Mo Ying and the others around him were also curious.

Not far away.

Xia Yao took out a treasured bottle containing five impure Nine-Turn Revolutions Shenxuan Pills, slowly walked to Ye Feng, glanced at Qiao Jiaxi, and said, "He has unexpectedly entered a ghostly state; this is not good."

"What is a ghostly state?"

Everyone was bewildered.

National Adviser Xia Yao explained:

"It’s a kind of Dao injury, where the body seems to become illusory. Only the person feels nothing is wrong, but others cannot touch them. However, sometimes the person might exit the ghostly state and return to being solid."

"But if untreated, the duration a cultivator spends in a ghostly state will gradually increase every day until the state is constant."

"At that moment, he’s in danger."

"A slight mishap, and he might become completely annihilated."

Saying this, Xia Yao’s face turned serious.

Her understanding of the ghostly state came from the Scripture Pavilion of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, but she didn’t know the specific remedy.

In the history of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, there have been instances of someone entering a ghostly state, lasting only half a month before their soul was wiped out.

Even if that person was an Immortal Emperor!

"Am I going to die?"

Xia Yao’s words made Qiao Jiaxi pause his breathing, his heartbeat accelerated, triggering an inexplicable sense of crisis.

"Sect Master Ye, here are the five Nine-Turn Revolutions Shenxuan Pills I promised you. My lack of refining experience left them impure; I apologize for this."

Xia Yao handed the treasured bottle to Ye Feng.

After accepting the elixirs, Ye Feng thanked her and tried to touch Qiao Jiaxi’s shoulder, finding it solid, and said, "It seems Jiaxi’s current state isn’t too bad; apart from the hair, the rest is still solid."

"According to our Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom’s records, he has at most half a month left."

Xia Yao looked regretful.

To this day, only a few cultivators have entered a ghostly state, and all died with no cure.

In her eyes, Qiao Jiaxi was undoubtedly doomed.

Pity for such a top genius!

"I only have half a month left?" Qiao Jiaxi’s face showed horror, filled with alarm.

"No, nothing will happen to you!" Ji Ziling quickly patted Qiao Jiaxi’s shoulder, comforting him.

"National Adviser Xia, what more do you know about the ghostly state?" Ye Feng asked solemnly.

Of course, he was unwilling to see Qiao Jiaxi perish.

Time flew by, and he had known Qiao Jiaxi for a full eight years. Their bond had long deepened beyond an ordinary mentor-student relationship, more akin to family.

No matter what, Ye Feng did not want to see Qiao Jiaxi fall without understanding why.

Xia Yao said:

"I only know that the ghostly state occurs due to a problem with the body. Recalling the previous battle, I suspect that Qiao Jiaxi overdeveloped his potential, causing a certain mutation in his body, thus entering a ghostly state."

"This case is terrifying. In the history of our Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, it has appeared a few times, but all who had it were incurable and perished within half a month."

"In this matter, I’m also powerless."

"So... I’m sorry."

She shook her head, looking helpless.

"It’s all over!"

Qiao Jiaxi felt his whole body weaken.

If he had known it would end like this, he would have surrendered during the spar with Ming Xiangwen, avoiding a desperate struggle. Despite successfully unleashing his potential, he now faced the terrifying ghostly state, with his life nearing its end.

"Don’t panic, we’ll find a way." Ji Ziling supported Qiao Jiaxi, "You’re not alone in this fight, don’t forget, you have us!"

"Yes, we’ll all help you."

Long Tianxing and the others also voiced their comfort.

Xia Yao remained silent.

Her understanding of the ghostly state was limited to the ancient records of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom. She didn’t know how to treat it, and, besides, she had just met Qiao Jiaxi and wasn’t close to him, unlikely to go out of her way for him.

"Sect Leader Ye, I’ll take my leave now!"

Xia Yao cupped her hands and left the Void Realm with her subordinates including Zhang Tianzui, the five top geniuses, quickly arriving at the Sect Main Plaza of Misty Sect, departing with the members of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom’s envoy for their subsequent visitations.

Void Realm exit.

Ye Feng led Qiao Jiaxi and a few others here, seeing the three-legged Golden Toad guarding the gate.

"Senior, we’re leaving."

Ye Feng nodded to the toad, then took the first-generation disciples into the void, reappearing at the Sect Main Plaza.

The sect disciples were unaware that Qiao Jiaxi had entered a ghostly state.

This was because, at the moment the battle between Qiao Jiaxi and Ming Xiangwen ended, the three-legged Golden Toad had stopped transmitting the scene to the outside world.

Therefore, only about ten people including the three-legged Golden Toad, Void Beast, Ye Feng, and Xia Yao knew about this event.

"Senior Brother Jiaxi, you’re amazing!"

"Senior Brother, what’s up with your green hair?"

The disciples admired Qiao Jiaxi with expressions of awe, continuously praising him, which made him even more depressed internally.

"Disperse!"

Ye Feng waved his hand, and the disciples gradually left, discussing today’s duel, unaware of Qiao Jiaxi’s ghostly state, with his life waning.

Sect Master’s Grand Hall.

Ye Feng and Qiao Jiaxi were alone.

At this moment, Qiao Jiaxi could no longer exit the state of having green hair, his face filled with panic, afraid of dying at any unexpected moment.

"Have some tea, don’t overthink."

Ye Feng brewed a pot of tea.

Qiao Jiaxi nodded, his trembling hands holding the teacup. Just as he was about to drink, he suddenly found that the teacup slipped from his hands; no matter how he tried to catch it, he couldn’t touch it.

"Careful!"

Ye Feng quickly caught the teacup and personally fed Qiao Jiaxi the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea to drink.

A moment later.

Qiao Jiaxi felt a bit better and was surprised to find that his hands could touch the teacup again, exclaiming, "Sect Leader, I seem to be improving."

Ye Feng was slightly surprised and said, "So, the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea can slow your complete transformation into a ghostly state; this is indeed good news."

Qiao Jiaxi asked, "Sect Leader, if I drink Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea every day, will it cure me?"

Ye Feng said, "That’s unclear for now."

Qiao Jiaxi immediately panicked again.

Ye Feng patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Don’t worry; I’m taking you to get help now."

"Who are we looking for?" Qiao Jiaxi was puzzled.

"We’ll first go to the Holy Spirit Sect in Dongzhou within the Three Thousand Realms, to find your mentor Tyrant Emperor and your mentor’s wife Spirit Venerable. If they have no solution, we’ll seek others."

Ye Feng said, "But before we go, we need to consult one more person."

"Who?" Qiao Jiaxi eagerly asked.

"Me!"

A voice full of vigor resounded.
