As a Sword Disciple within the Sword Gate, the rank of Sword Child comes with the highest status and, naturally, the finest treatment.
The Sword Child’s private palace was luxurious and staffed by numerous handmaidens. Ye Qing sighed at the sight of them, his thoughts drifting to Diwu Xuan. Since obtaining the Celestial Lotus Pedestal, he had been preoccupied with cultivation and dealing with outside troubles, leaving him no time to resurrect her. Now that his strength had improved and he was relatively safe within the Sword Gate, he decided it was finally time to put her resurrection on the agenda.
Inside the palace, Wu Qingyu had followed him in, claiming she was there to attend to his needs. Ye Qing said nothing. He took out the Celestial Lotus Pedestal and Diwu Xuan’s divine soul. During the great battle of the past, her soul had shattered; however, protected by the Everbright Lamp—a treasure of the Lord of Taoyuan—it had managed to coalesce once more. Ye Qing had been nurturing it within the Myriad World Pagoda ever since, and now, it had largely recovered. With the many Heavenly Soul Divine Pills he had acquired, he could further strengthen her soul.
