Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1216: Risking a Lifetime

After running through the cultivation technique several times and simultaneously absorbing Dan Power, Han Yan adjusted her state to the best condition and slowly formed hand gestures to create a seal.

Soon, the light shadows formed by sealing runes enveloped both Han Yan and Fen Qianji.

At this moment, she needed to inject her own Life Force into Fen Qianji’s body to prevent him from dying due to a significant loss of Primordial Energy during the Meridian Cutting Hand technique.

However, just as Han Yan initiated her Divine Sense, ready to make a move, she discovered that his vitality was surprisingly vigorous and resilient, much like Huayue’s infamous tenacity.

Han Yan suddenly realized that the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Divine Continent were completely different from those of the Holy Court Continent; people there had formidable bodily defenses and immensely strong vitality.

Han Yan felt much relieved, as now she didn’t need to consume her Life Force, given that more important matters were ahead, and conserving her strength was not a bad thing.

Han Yan once again formed hand gestures, and the Meridian Cutting Hand technique flashed forth.

The Meridian Cutting Hand was derived from the Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword. Although Han Yan didn’t claim to have mastered this swordsmanship to the Great Mahayana Realm, she was highly proficient in it, executing the Meridian Cutting Hand with smooth ease.

As her sleeve moved like clouds, Fen Qianji’s meridians became shattered, connected only by a faint thread.

Despite the severed meridians, Fen Qianji showed no strange reactions; just as he had promised, he trusted Han Yan completely, even smiling calmly.

Feeling the familiar trust from a past life, Han Yan was moved, as if she had returned to those earlier days.

"Crack!" Han Yan initiated her Divine Sense and clearly heard a subtle sound coming from Fen Qianji’s Qi Sea.

The meridians were broken, connected only by a faint thread, and the Qi Sea was successfully breached. All toxins were isolated and then gathered through the sealing power.

However, Fen Qianji’s powerful vitality began to slowly fade away.

Han Yan dared not hesitate, immediately forming another seal to draw the toxins into her own body.

"What are you doing?" Fen Qianji was shocked and instinctively wanted to stop her.

"Remember your promise to me, no matter what happens, don’t act recklessly, or you’ll harm both yourself and me." Han Yan said gravely.

"You don’t have to do this." Fen Qianji looked at Han Yan, his usually calm and unflinching eyes now glistening with moisture.

He knew what Han Yan was doing and also knew that once Han Yan drew the poison of the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill into her body, he could be unharmed and heal the meridians and Qi Sea injuries in little time.

Yet Han Yan was clearly courting disaster. Even though she had already arranged seals to suppress the poison in one part of her body with little immediate impact on her strength and cultivation, once the seal’s effect wore off, she would suffer the agony of ten thousand ants gnawing at her heart, and even if she had reached the Sword Saint Realm by then, she would face a tragic death.

"We are friends." Han Yan said succinctly.

She did not finish her sentence, but Fen Qianji and she were not only friends but the best of friends, friends across two lifetimes and the only friend she could ever rely on.

Friends! Fen Qianji nodded heavily.

The toxin had already invaded Han Yan’s arm, and a clear black line swiftly flowed toward her Qi Sea.

Fen Qianji’s expression was filled with desolation. He understood that Han Yan’s promising future might be ruined due to saving his life.

Han Yan also knew that introducing the poison of the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill into her body was like placing a heavy shackle around her neck. If she could find an antidote, it would be fine, but if not, her dream of becoming a powerful cultivator might end up being just that—a dream.

This Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill was far too potent. Even her Heavenly Heart Technique, which claimed to refine all forms of power for personal use, was powerless against it. Perhaps, only when she achieved the Holy-grade or if her Heavenly Heart Technique advanced once more could she find a way to refine it, but even that hope was remote.

However, she did not regret it. If she had to choose again, ten times, a hundred times over, she would make the same choice.

Suddenly, a pure white flame appeared in the palm of her hand, and in the blink of an eye, the black line vanished without a trace, while the holy and mysterious flame became even brighter.

With Han Yan’s seal, the toxin continued to surge into her body, but as soon as it encountered the flame, it melted away like ice under a blazing fire, and the flame grew increasingly radiant.

Fen Qianji looked at Han Yan in shock. It was evident that this scene was completely unexpected for Han Yan as well.

Her face was filled with joy, more accurately, ecstasy.

It turned out, the Chaos Heavenly Fire could actually devour the poison of the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill, and it seemed it could even grow from it!

There was hope now, not just for her but for Huayue as well. Thinking of this, how could Han Yan not be overjoyed?

Under Fen Qianji’s astonished gaze, all the residual poison was completely consumed by the Chaos Heavenly Fire, leaving no trace within her. And Han Yan was completely unscathed.

"Do you realize that what you just did could make you regret it for the rest of your life?" Fen Qianji gazed at Han Yan’s stunningly beautiful face and spoke softly.

Although Han Yan used the miraculous flame to neutralize the poison without harm or residual danger, evidently, even she was surprised by the flame’s miraculous properties.

She was clearly taking a risk, gambling with her life.

"If I didn’t do it, that’s when I would regret it for the rest of my life." Han Yan chuckled freely, speaking without hesitation.

Since in the end, both were unharmed, it was a joyful outcome for all. With Han Yan’s straightforward and bright demeanor, she naturally wouldn’t trouble herself over things that didn’t happen, feeling unprecedented ease and joy.

"This kindness, I, Fen Qianji, will remember eternally." Fen Qianji nodded heavily, then turned to leave.

The Divine Continent’s cultivator physique was indeed strong. His meridians and Qi Sea had just been broken, but he was already walking around without any impediment, as if nothing had happened.

"Where are you going?" Han Yan asked.

"Although Wei Wenshan is dead, I’m afraid my identity can’t be concealed for much longer. Long Yan Academy is no longer a place I can stay." Fen Qianji replied.

Han Yan sighed silently. She knew that with Fen Qianji’s identity as a person from the temple, he truly couldn’t stay at Long Yan Academy. Moreover, his haste in leaving was not only for his own safety but also because he didn’t want to implicate her.

The hope of traveling the world hand in hand like in the past life, in the end, was still an impossibility. Han Yan felt a twinge of melancholy.
