Chapter 94

In order to kill Liu Zhiyun, Li Wenjun had exhausted all his physical strength, magical power, and mental energy. Coupled with his injuries and the prolonged immersion in the cold pond water, he was already on the verge of collapse.

Li Wenjun had a very clear judgment; he absolutely could not faint at this moment. This place was deep in the Wufeng Mountain, a place where wild beasts roamed. The smell of blood could easily attract wolves, bears, and other wild animals. If he fainted, he might become a meal for the wolf cubs in the next moment.

Li Wenjun quickly bit his tongue. The intense pain from his tongue and the salty, bloody taste from the wound invigorated him, making him much more alert.

Li Wenjun dragged Liu Zhiyun's corpse and struggled to crawl to the land beside the pond. He then searched Liu Zhiyun's body, haphazardly stuffing the few items he found into his own clothes. He gathered the little bit of magical power he had recovered at his toes, activated the light body technique, and soared into the air, heading toward the waterfall.

Li Wenjun accurately landed on the rock that pierced through the waterfall's curtain,贴着瀑布后面的石壁，他瘫坐在石头上，眼前一黑，再也坚持不下去，直接昏睡了过去。

This sleep lasted for an unknown amount of time. When Li Wenjun opened his eyes, the sun was still shining brightly outside, but it had moved a bit to the east compared to when he fell asleep. This meant he had slept for at least a day, the longest he had ever slept since practicing the Eternal Spring Technique.

Li Wenjun touched his arms, legs, and lower back, where he had been injured, and found that all the wounds had completely healed. Even the frostbite caused by the Ice Spike Technique had disappeared, and his limbs had regained sensation.

After a moment of joy, Li Wenjun prepared to get off the rock. Standing on the rock, he braced himself against the impact of the waterfall's water. Just as he was about to leap down, he inadvertently glanced at the sun in the sky, and his expression suddenly changed. He then retreated behind the waterfall's curtain and sat down cross-legged.

Li Wenjun had never expected to sleep for such a long time. In the past, whenever he was injured, he would sleep for one or two hours, and his injuries would disappear. This time, he had slept for more than twelve hours, which was not a good sign.

The first thing that came to Li Wenjun's mind was whether there was a problem with the green light. For Li Wenjun, who had no background or support, the green light was his greatest reliance. If the green light had a problem, he dared not imagine whether he could continue on the path of cultivation.

Li Wenjun did not dare to delay. After sitting cross-legged, he immediately gathered his weak divine sense to examine his body internally, focusing on his dantian.

When his divine sense reached the dantian, the sight that greeted him made his heart sink.

Li Wenjun's divine sense still could not enter the dantian, blocked by an invisible barrier outside the dantian. However, this did not prevent him from seeing the situation inside the dantian clearly.

The dantian, which was once lush and full of vitality, had transformed into a different scene. The green light had almost disappeared, leaving only a faint trace of green light circling around the dantian.

What replaced the green light was a large area of gray-black light. They were lifeless, and anyone who saw them would feel suffocated, oppressed, and unable to breathe, as if enveloped by death, with no hope of life.

Just like when the green light circled, Li Wenjun still could not see what the gray light was circling. At this moment, he had no mood to analyze what was inside the dantian. The drastic change in the dantian had plunged his mood into a low point.

The divine sense observed the dantian for half an hour until it could no longer sustain. Reluctantly, Li Wenjun withdrew his divine sense. His face was dark, and his gaze was fierce.

Why was this happening? Could it be because his injuries were too numerous and severe, and the green light had to consume itself to save him?

At this moment, what Li Wenjun most wanted to know was whether the disappeared green light would reappear, and if there was a way to make it reappear sooner. What methods could speed up the recovery of the green light?

Also, what should he do before the green light recovers? What if the green light cannot recover?

After thinking for a long time, Li Wenjun had no clue. After all, he had never experienced such a situation before, and there was no one he could consult. Moreover, even if there were other cultivators nearby, he would not bring up this issue to consult them. The green light was his greatest secret, and he could not share it with anyone.

After a long time, Li Wenjun sighed. At this point, he could only take one step at a time. As for what to do without the green light, there were still alternatives. The green light's main function was to heal his injuries, and in the cultivation world, just like in the secular world, there were healing pills. Some top-tier healing pills might have healing effects no worse than the green light. He could collect some healing pills in the future.

After calming down, Li Wenjun jumped off the rock and landed on the shore of the pond. He saw that Liu Zhiyun's corpse had already been devoured by wild beasts, leaving only a few bones with no flesh left.

Li Wenjun released a fireball, burning Liu Zhiyun's bones to ashes. Then, he jumped into the pond and retrieved the talisman bag used to seal the gap, the storage bag, the Dragon-Headed Goose Feather Saber, and even the silver ingots he had used to hit Liu Zhiyun.

Li Wenjun, coming from an ordinary background, did not have the habit of being wasteful.

After looking around to confirm that nothing was left behind and there were no traces of killing Liu Zhiyun, he activated the light body technique, touched the ground with his toes, and soared into the air, leaping back to the mountain top, following the original path back.

After a smooth journey, Li Wenjun returned to the cave where he was hiding.

Sitting on a stone covered with grass, Li Wenjun sighed heavily, burdened with worries. The disappearance of the green light had become a thorn in his side, and he did not know when he could get rid of it.

After sighing for a while, Li Wenjun encouraged himself. He had come a long way, experienced so much, and had faced life and death more than once. Wasn't he still alive and well? What if the green light was gone?

He was still a cultivator, with endless possibilities and a lifespan of several hundred years waiting for him to enjoy. He still had to find his scattered parents and siblings, and he had many unfulfilled wishes. Was he going to give up everything just because the green light was gone? Was he planning to give up on living?
