The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Yang Yan suddenly stopped and did not continue with the fusion, letting out a breath.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he then said with a wry smile, "Why didn’t you remind me why the fusion of the Five Elements Essence consumes so much spiritual power? I thought refining the Extreme Five Elements Power was already labor-intensive enough, but I didn’t expect the fusion to be even more demanding!"

The Nascent Void Spirit said with slight apology, "This is something I did not foresee. In the past, my master was powerful enough to complete the fusion of the Five Elements Essence effortlessly. However, this was indeed my oversight; I hadn’t considered your cultivation level was still too low. How can we continue the fusion?"

Yang Yan waved his hand faintly, speaking weakly, "Allow me to recover for a moment, then we’ll start immediately. The sooner we repair your tower body, the sooner we can seal the Celestial Demon King again."

A moment later, he opened his eyes from meditation and said to the Nascent Void Spirit, "I feel that the fusion of the Five Elements Essence greatly aids my own control over spiritual power."

"Compared to before, my combat power has improved slightly, but this fusion process is not only too slow but also prone to failure due to insufficient spiritual power. We cannot afford failures... Did your previous master leave behind anything else?"

"Let me think..." reminded by Yang Yan, Nascent Void fell into contemplation.

After a moment, it said, "When I first gained consciousness, my master was already immensely powerful. Many resources aren’t accessible at your current stage..."

"Wait!" Suddenly, Nascent Void seemed to have thought of something, pondering, "There is a small spell my master created during leisure time, originally used to balance different spiritual powers. Given the current situation, it should be usable."

Yang Yan asked excitedly, "Really? Show me quickly."

The Nascent Void Spirit smiled helplessly and then transmitted the little spell to Yang Yan.

Yang Yan studied the spell carefully, and after a short moment, he spoke with excitement mixed with astonishment, "So this is it, using the Power of the Five Elements to drive the fusion process! I didn’t expect the senior to be so ingenious as to create such a formidable spell, just right to solve my current predicament."

The Nascent Void Spirit laughed proudly, "Indeed, my master was a rare genius who alone sealed the Celestial Demon King at his peak."

Yang Yan shook his head helplessly, smiling wryly, "The senior is admirable, I am far inferior. Now with such a wonderful spell, I have more confidence in the fusion of the Five Elements Essence. We must not delay, I will continue the fusion now."

Yang Yan focused his spiritual sense again, gathering spiritual power to fuse the remaining Five Elements Essence.

This time, with the help of the Spirit Fusion Technique and ample spiritual medicine, he fused the essences of water, wood, fire, and earth—all except for gold.

However, now that Yang Yan continued the fusion, he encountered difficulties.

"Alas! I didn’t expect the presence of lightning within your spiritual qi to now have an impact. The Thunderbolt Power is too overpowering; during the fusion process, it strengthens the power of gold, enhancing the repulsion force. Continuing to fuse now could nullify all the previous efforts," sighed the Nascent Void Spirit, somewhat regretfully.

Yang Yan’s expression was heavy, his voice low, and filled with unwillingness, "Is there really no way? Is Wandering Dragon Star truly destined to be destroyed by the Celestial Demon King?"

Nascent Void pondered momentarily and suddenly stated firmly, "Not necessarily."

Yang Yan asked anxiously, "Is there a solution? Tell me quickly! Spiritual medicine, spiritual qi, or something else! As long as it exists, I will find it. No matter the cost, even if it’s a path through fire and blade!"

The Nascent Void Spirit suddenly smiled, "Nothing else is needed; what is needed is far away yet right before your eyes."

Yang Yan frowned, unable to grasp the meaning.

Nascent Void did not leave him guessing, "Wish Power is gentle and can accommodate any attribute. After sealing the Celestial Demon King, my master left some Wish Power within my tower, although not much, it should barely suffice for this use."

Yang Yan said happily, "Then let’s hurry, let’s fuse it in one go to repair your tower body."

Nascent Void immediately replied, "Alright, now I will control the Wish Power within my tower, envelop your spiritual power, and you will command your spiritual power to merge them. Remember not to rush; we only have one chance."

Yang Yan nodded solemnly, concentrating his qi, "Alright, let’s begin!"

Yang Yan focused as much as possible, putting all his mind entirely on the two clusters of Five Element Essence, letting them slowly merge.

After five full hours, he finally fused all the Five Elements Essence.

Yang Yan looked at the Five Elements Essence before him, now presenting a chaotic color, revealing a joyful expression.

With the fusion of Five Elements Essence successful, Yang Yan was greatly relieved, lying flat on the chamber floor without any regard for posture.

At this moment, he had exhausted all his strength and energy.

Yang Yan waved weakly to Nascent Void floating in the chamber, saying, "The rest is up to you. I can’t go on, I don’t even want to move my fingers."

The Nascent Void Spirit chuckled softly, "Alright, rest now, I’ll take care of what’s left."

The Nascent Void Spirit guided the fused Five Elements Essence to its tower body, initiating repairs on the worn areas.

The fused Five Elements Essence acted like glue, rapidly mending the damaged parts.

Then, the Nascent Void Spirit altered its form, making the Extreme Five Elements Power more compatible with the Nascent Void Tower body.

During Nascent Void’s reconstruction process, crisp sounds of hammering occasionally appeared, like a tireless craftsman forging a supreme spiritual treasure.

When the spiritual treasure emerges, it naturally stirs up the winds and clouds of a region.

Seven days later, Nascent Void’s repair finally reached the most critical point.

At this time, the ringing of metal clashes continued non-stop. It was Nascent Void utilizing forging techniques to reshape itself, the emitted aura growing increasingly pure and powerful with each strike.

Under Yang Yan’s watchful gaze, with the final sound descending, Nascent Void finally completed its repair.

Buzz—

Suddenly, the colors of the sky changed, and Nascent Void floating mid-air emitted a dazzling array of colors, its tower body resplendent like glaze.

The Nascent Void Spirit reminded, "With the completion of this repair, anomalies are bound to occur, and perhaps the Celestial Demon King will become aware of it. You must make preparations early."

Yang Yan listened, his eyes deep in thought.

Just then, large clouds covered the Ancient Abyss Sect; only to see Nascent Void tower tremble, and the clouds dissipated, rays of radiant light illuminating the Ancient Abyss Sect.

At that moment, the Ancient Abyss Sect appeared like an ethereal realm, shrouded in mist, radiating brilliant light.

All the Supreme Elders and remaining Sect Leader showed expressions of joy, quickly flying towards Yang Yan’s seclusion location.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Demon King sensed the event and assembled his forces, moving towards the Ancient Abyss Sect’s location.
