Sword Heart was in a very bad state.
Her condition was so bad that even the other clansmen could see it. She was now wearing a thin layer of clothing in her room.
There was nothing else in the room other than a table with various types of medicines on it, which had been concocted based on the information passed down by their ancestors.
However, these were not very effective, and could only extend her lifespan by a sliver.
Now, underneath her thin clothes, it was even more obvious that her body had been completely corroded.
90% of her arms were covered in centipede-like blood vein markings.
The upper half of her body was even worse, and had been almost completely devoured.
Her legs looked like they were entangled by a nightmarish creature, and there were many bruises on her fair skin.
Even though Sword Heart did not exude any strange smell, just by looking at her, one could clearly sense the aura of death from her body.
It was a sorrowful sight.
Yuchi did not knock.
He appeared in front of Sword Heart silently. He just stood there and looked down at her.
There was a lot of cold sweat on her face.
Her body was cold and wet.
After her Sword Heart circulated her cultivation method and temporarily stabilized her condition, she suddenly noticed Yuchi’s figure in front of her.
After a brief moment of confusion, she stood up and bowed deeply to Yuchi.
“Senior,” Sword Heart said.
Yuchi indicated to Sword Heart that he did not need to be so reserved. He walked in front of Sword Heart and asked, “Can I take a look at your arm?”
Sword Heart was dumbfounded.
However, she still very quickly handed over her right hand. She knew that Yuchi did not have any ill intentions towards her.
Could he be here to help her?
That was unlikely, right?
Sword Heart suppressed the excitement in her heart. It was best not to have high hopes for this matter.
Yuchi’s gaze fell on Sword Heart’s arm. With a flick of his wrist, he turned the sleeves on her arm to ashes, revealing the arm that was covered with blood marks.
Her arm was like a corpse that had been dried up for many years.
It was very ugly.
Ordinary people would naturally feel disgusted when they saw it.
Yuchi closed his eyes and began to analyze the Heavenly Dao elements related to corrosive poison.
There was a reason for everything.
Right now, Yuchi was using his terrifying comprehension of the Heavenly Dao to try and analyze the secrets of this corrosive poison.
…
Sword Heart’s aura was in a mess.
After losing the suppression of her soul, her body’s life force was in a mess.
Blood stasis was a symptom of blood vessels rupturing. When the soul left the body, the body would secrete a large amount of blood, rupturing the blood vessels. The internal organs would constantly bleed, destroying the body from within.
This was the result of removing one’s soul from the body. The body’s natural instincts to create more blood to make up for the loss of its soul created this mess.
After some time passed, Yuchi had already figured out the logical relationship at work here.
The artifact spirits needed their souls to integrate into the artifacts, and as such would gradually separate their souls from the bodies, which would give rise to the abovementioned phenomenon, which would cause the body to gradually and continuously break down.
There were only two approaches to solve this problem.
To keep the soul from leaving the body, or to restrain the body’s reaction.
The former was naturally out of the question. The artifact spirit race relied on their souls leaving their bodies to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. They were only able to display their full potential in this manner. It was an insult to the artifact spirits to ask them to keep their souls from leaving their bodies just to survive.
After all, this was the path that they had chosen.
Then, what about the latter option?
Could he restrain their body’s reaction?
He could.
The body itself was a good container.
In that case, all he needed to do was to station another soul in this body.
However, the strength of Sword Heart and the others was not enough to accomplish this. This was something that could only be done in the Dao essence realm.
He had to find a method that was feasible for a Dao realm cultivator.
Was there one?
Thinking about it, there was.
This was because the soul in the body did not need to be complete. The basic elements of a soul would suffice to deceive the body.
Yuchi understood.
He said to Sword Heart, “If you trust me, then remove your entire soul from this body. Leaving your soul in this body will do nothing but make this body overreact.
Sword Heart immediately nodded.
She did not know why Yuchi was doing this, but she believed that if Yuchi could not fix it, then she definitely could not. Thus, she transferred her soul into the artifact not far away.
The soulless body fell to the ground, while Sword Heart’s soul was trapped in the artifact.
Under normal circumstances, this body would have been completely dead, and Sword Heart’s soul would not be able to touch it, much less communicate with it. Naturally, there was no way for her soul to return from the artifact to the body, so she naturally became a sword spirit.
Yuchi casually took out a flower.
By absorbing the ‘soul’ of the flower and infusing it into Sword Heart’s host body, even if the soul was incomplete, it was enough.
It was simple.
Since Sword Heart could transfer her soul into an artifact, he could naturally transfer the ‘soul’ of a flower into her body.
Things were just as Yuchi had predicted.
Although her body did not have the ability to think on its own, there was an empty shell of a ‘soul’ inside her body, which kept it from overreacting. Then, after a little treatment by Yuchi, Sword Heart’s body recovered its complexion.
The body actually did not show any signs of deterioration.
This body originally belonged to Sword Heart, so Yuchi did not need to do anything further. The sword on the ground had already flown into Sword Heart’s hand.
Sword Heart could actually return to the body and switch between control of her body and the sword at will!
