I Refused To Be Reincarnated-Chapter 632: Soul-Bound Land

Adam shuddered as the colossal Qi swirled through his meridians. All the elements melded in a chaotic yet natural symphony charging toward his soul before they stopped a centimeter before entering it.

It was uncomfortable at first because of the surprise, then soothing, almost like when he used his mana circuits for the first time.

However, a frown creased his brows. Would the blessed land claim a part of his soul sea and disappear from the realm if he bound it? He mused the consequences before deciding.

’The five sect leaders are waiting outside. Though most disciples come from Earth, some might report what happened.’ He shook his head, biting his lip in worry. ’I can’t risk going out.’

Even if he had defeated the puppet, the five spiritual ascension realm experts would crush him before he took three steps. He had to follow his initial plan and remain inside.

But could he control the blessed land’s mechanisms without binding it? That was the question that made his fingers twitch over the notification. After all, the time limit approached, and with it, he would end up outside if he didn’t find the answer.

He massaged his brows in defeat, not knowing what to do.

’If you have an instruction manual, it’s now or never, Luna,’ he thought half-jokingly, knowing she wouldn’t answer.

Yet, his eyes widened the next second as a new notification appeared.

[You have amusing reservations, or do you believe your weak, ethereal soul can accommodate a province-sized blessed land? Bind it. It’ll give you control over its facilities and openings as long as you supply it with enough energy.]

"Mhh." Adam nodded, taking this rare opportunity to ask more. "When will I become strong enough to take it inside my soul?"

[It depends on how you cultivate. But it won’t usually happen before the Dao Integration Realm. I know what you’re doing. I want a specimen of each cultivation plant and magical beast for my answers. Ask a little more so I can up the price. Hehehe.]

Adam scratched his head, confused by the demand. Although they had a weird relationship, it didn’t bother him to share a little with her, especially when the price seemed reasonable. After all, she would use them to help others or develop the fauna and flora of the barren dream place.

"Sure." He shrugged and pressed yes.

The moment he did, the halted Qi entered his soul and branded its unique signature everywhere in the blessed land—his blessed land.

Instinctively, he knew how to manipulate its functions but also noticed how drained of energy the formations were. In fact, only the most important ones, like the Qi gathering and nourishment formations, still operated at minimal power.

’It’ll take a few years to bring everything back to pristine condition, not to mention this entirely burned part of the palace...’ Despite the seemingly negative news, his lips curled into a bright smile. ’It means it can still develop, especially if I add mana to the mix.’

Delighted by the incredible rewards, he returned his attention to the present. In the devastated garden, he saw Xian Yunxu kneeling by Ye Feng, her fingers digging into his jaws as she shoved a pill inside his mouth.

"Wake up, you fool! You have a lot to explain and compensations to hand out before I’ll forgive you!"

"Cough, cough." Ye Feng coughed out blood as his eyelids fluttered open. With a haggard gaze, he observed Xian Yunxu. "So you died, too? Sorry... I didn’t want to..."

SLAP

A burning sensation seared across his cheek with a shrill noise as Xian Yunxu pursed her lips.

"Are you cursing me to die after I barely survived? I hope this slap woke you up."

"Ah?" Ye Feng’s eyes widened, his left hand feeling his body in shock.

Upon noticing his lost right arm, he bit his lip but shook his head. He deserved it, and it was a cheap price for his folly.

Aside from that, most of his bones had shattered, and his meridians ruptured. His cultivation dropped two realms, and not a single inch of his body didn’t hurt. But did it matter?

"I-I survived." He glanced at Adam with mixed feelings. "Why did you burden yourself to save me?"

Adam took a deep breath, then sighed. "I have a little brother, you know? I educated him by emphasising helping others when it was possible." He shrugged. "Even if you’re stupid and more stubborn than a mule, the terror, despair, and pain you felt were enough punishment."

’And I don’t feel like killing earthlings unless they’re driven by malice,’ he added to himself with a headshake.

A heavy silence followed his words before Ye Feng struggled to sit.

"Stay still, idiot. You’re too wounded to move." Xian Yunxu berated, but he continued even if blood poured down his lips and his bones groaned.

A second later, his forehead met the ground, and his voice cracked. "I vow to do anything to deserve your mercy beyond mere words of gratitude." He bit his lip, branding today’s regrets in his very soul.

Adam patted his back, a soft smile tugging at his lips as he used his natural dominance. freēwēbnovel.com

Sharing his life force, warm energies entered Ye Feng’s body. They coursed through his veins, fixing his internal wounds, damaged meridians, and leaking dan tian.

He watched his skin and felt his feeble life force recover as he continued. "I can’t regrow your limb yet, so consider it a painful but necessary lesson on your path to redemption."

Ye Feng’s fingers dug into the charred soil, his lips quivering and tears trailing down his cheeks. "Just say the word if you need anything, Prometheus."

Adam rolled his eyes, almost regretting healing him. "We’re two different people! Get lost from my blessed land."

As he snorted, space cracked behind Ye Feng and Xian Yunxu, signalling that the six hours were up. As if alive, they engulfed them.

However, Xian Yunxu resisted and yelled. "You must meet me in the dream place. I-I want to know you."

Adam grinned. "I will."

With a determined nod, she, Ye Feng, and the disciples hidden in the forest disappeared.

The rustle of lush leaves, the water splashing from the forest’s lake, and the swaying fields soon recovered their rights... Well, not quite. After all, Xie Lian and Misha raised their fists triumphantly as they bolted through the sky on a shining sword, too eager to reunite with Adam to wait for him to fetch them.
