Chapter 1784 — Something Went Wrong: With Wei Zhao at the center, ever more pure energy in the jade pendant space gathered and converged, waiting to enter his body...
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Jiao Yazi stared at Wei Zhao's condition, and a look of mingled remorse and anguish broke over his face. He regretted having opened his mouth to warn him; had he stayed silent, Wei Zhao could not have fallen into qi deviation so fast. But then again — had he not called out, would Wei Zhao not have fallen into qi deviation just the same?
At this the guilt in Jiao Yazi's heart eased a little — though now his concern was for Wei Zhao's safety, and he had no idea how to lend a hand.
Keep in mind, this was the first time Wei Zhao had ever lost consciousness inside the jade pendant space! No matter how grave his wounds before, so long as he still lived he could enter the space to recover. But qi deviation during cultivation was a different thing altogether: fallen into it, Wei Zhao remained unconscious even here, in the jade pendant space — leaving Jiao Yazi watching in torment with nowhere to turn!
He was nothing more than an illusory projection, possessing no real ability whatsoever. That he could speak and held certain memories had all been set in place by whoever made the jade pendant; as for anything not set in place, he could absolutely never produce it.
So at this moment Jiao Yazi truly had not a single idea what to do; he could only pray that someone beside Wei Zhao would find him soon and think of a way to bring him back to his senses!
Knowing that anxiety would accomplish nothing, Jiao Yazi steadied himself instead and turned the question over in his mind: where exactly had Wei Zhao gone wrong? How could he have fallen into qi deviation so suddenly? By what Jiao Yazi's memories told him, such a bizarre phenomenon was simply impossible for Wei Zhao — and since it had happened, it could surely be no accident. Something, somewhere, had to be amiss...
At the thought, Jiao Yazi's brow knitted tight...
In the blink of an eye another day had passed. Old Master Wei gazed oddly at the tightly shut door of Wei Zhao's room and could not help growing suspicious. "Tang Zhi, have any of you seen Wei Zhao? He hasn't come out at all?"
"No... his door has been shut all day." Tang Zhi nodded, answering with perfect certainty. Because a shower had come down outside that day, the three of them had not gone out at all; Old Master Wei, by contrast, had left to treat a patient and did not return until dusk.
"Something isn't right..." Old Master Wei's brow creased slightly. He knew Wei Zhao's habits well: in the past, whenever Wei Zhao was cultivating, come what may he would come out at least once a day for something to eat. There had never once been a case of him staying in his room two days straight!
Even on the very day Wei Zhao first gained the first level of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, he had never been so absorbed in cultivation that he failed to leave his room. That was why Old Master Wei found the matter so strange.
"Could it be... that something has gone wrong?" Tang Zhi's face changed at once, and Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu too turned toward Old Master Wei, a little tense.
"Back there in Songshan City with you — did Xiao Yi ever go this long without coming out while cultivating?" Old Master Wei pondered a moment, then asked.
"Except when he was injured and recovering... while cultivating he shouldn't have gone this long without leaving his room..." Gu Mengyao hesitated a moment, then shook her head.
