C1180 Awakening

As Lin Bai chanted the incantation, the abundant Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in the cave began to gather around Chen Baian's body at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, a thick fog began to envelop his body.

The tens of silver needles were surrounded by heaven and earth origin energy, faintly trembling. The air was filled with buzzing sounds, as if there was suddenly a nest of bees gathering nectar inside the cave.

Lin Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief as the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi gathered under his spell. He reached to his side and picked up a clean towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead before slowly closing his eyes and calming himself down.

According to his perception, the medicinal strength accumulated within Chen Bai's five viscera had already started to slowly dissipate. A strong life force was continuously nourishing his dried organs, restoring them to their normal state.

However, this alone could not wake Chen Bai Eunuch from his deep slumber. This step could only ensure the recovery of his body's functions, but could not bring him back to consciousness. The reason why humans were human and the reason why they were the spiritual elders of all living things was because they had intelligence. If they did not have intelligence, then they would only be walking corpses. Chen Baian could only be a living dead man.

If he wanted to restore his consciousness, he could only use the silver needles to pierce the three major acupoints in his head — the Hundred Exchange, the Sun, and the Human. Then, he could use his vibrating mana to open up the clogged blood clot and guide the life force of the Seven Apertures Spirit Pellet into his Niwan Palace, stimulating him to recover his consciousness so that he could truly wake up from his slumber.

Lin Bai took a deep breath and gripped the three silver needles tightly. He didn't dare to use the same needle as before; instead, he carefully inserted the needles into these three acupoints.

The acupoints on a human's head could be said to be the most important thing to a human body. If one was not careful, it was possible for one to turn a living person into an idiot. Moreover, if he destroyed these three acupoints, even with the miraculous effects of the Seven Apertures Mystic Pellet, he would not be able to wake Chen Baian up.

Therefore, at this very moment, even the talkative Zhang SanKuang was pursing his lips tightly and looking carefully at Lin Bai's hands, afraid that Lin Bai would be distracted from his banter with the medicine doll and cause any deviation in the silver needle.

However, it was obvious that Zhang Sanming's worries were unnecessary. Even though Lin Bai's forehead was covered in sweat, his hands didn't even tremble. The three silver needles slowly pierced into the three acupoints of the Sun, Hundred Convergence, and Person in the blink of an eye. But even so, looking at the three trembling silver needles, the hearts of the crowd still had lingering fear.

A body full of silver needles was already terrifying enough, not to mention the fact that he had several objects stuck into his head. If there was even the slightest deviation, who knew what kind of trouble it would cause?

Bai Huihui, the sun, and the human body were three major acupoints. They couldn't withstand the stimulation for too long. Therefore, when the silver needles pierced his acupoints, Lin Bai did not hesitate at all and slowly urged the He Tu Luo Shu, as he silently recited a spell. He did not dare to use the heaven and earth origin energy, but rather used his own life force to follow the silver needles and enter his acupoints.

As Lin Bai's Fa Li poured into them, the three silver needles suddenly began to vibrate incessantly. Even the air began to ripple. While the needle was moving, Chen Baian was in deep sleep. His face showed an expression of pain, as if he was trying his best to endure something.

Elder Chen, if you can hold on for a little longer, I'll wake you up from your slumber right now! Looking at Chen Baian's face, Lin Bai felt an inexplicable sense of sadness. He wished that Chen Baian could open his eyes right away.

The reason why Chen Baian was so heavily injured that day was because he had helped him delay that bastard Zhao Jingting so that he wouldn't succeed in his schemes. If it wasn't for him, how could he have suffered so much!

"… …"

Chen Baian, who was in deep sleep, did not know how long he had been drowsy. He felt as if he had fallen into a dark void, a dark void where he could not even see his own fingers. There was no concept of time or space, only a bottomless darkness, no light, no sound, as if everything was still here.

He didn't understand what was going on, but he still remembered his last moments. It was as if there were many people beside him who were crying so hard that it seemed as if Lin Bai was extremely heartbroken. From the time he had met Lin Bai until now, he had never seen such an expression on Lin Bai's face before.

And his memories were shattered at that moment. From then on, he was left with only this endless darkness to accompany him.

This kind of pain, this kind of suffering, only people who had been in prison and had been imprisoned would experience it. It was as if he was the only one left in this world. Humans are social animals, and solitude is the greatest enemy of social animals.

But here, apart from loneliness, there was also loneliness. Not to mention that Chen Baian used to be such a happy man. He walked the world with his long sword and his green robe. Wherever he went, he would make friends with others! The feeling of being so alone that it drove him insane made him wish he were dead, but he knew that he was not yet dead, that there was no way he could die, and that he did not want to die.

It wasn't because he cared about his life, but because he knew very well that if he really did die. What kind of terrifying blow would it cause to Lin Bai, who had revealed that expression at that time, might even cause this astonishingly talented young man to never be able to recover from it.

There were many things in this world that Lin Bai had to do. He could not allow this young man who he knew so much, who had risked his life countless times with him, to stop just because of this.

In addition, he also believed that the Lin Bai whom he was currently unable to see would definitely be doing everything he could to bring him out of this void. If he were to give up now, all the suffering that Lin Bai had endured would be for nothing!

So he had to live. No matter how dark his surroundings were, and no matter how lonely he was, he had to be strong and live.

However, he felt that there was something different about him now. There seemed to be some noisy noises around him, as if he could once again feel his body that he hadn't felt in a long time, and there seemed to be countless currents of warmth roaming about within his body.

More importantly, he felt that in this endless darkness, specks of light began to appear. That light was so familiar, yet so intimate …

He knew, that must be Lin Bai!
