Chapter 109: The Allure of the Dao Source Body

Han Shuang’s eyes snapped open. Her sharp gaze, like a hawk’s, once again locked onto the stone chamber.

It was her!

The problem lay with this ‘Dao Source Body’!

Without a moment’s hesitation, Han Shuang’s muscles tensed instantly. Her hand pressed against Frostkill, the short blade at her waist, as the spiritual energy of her Soul Transformation Realm cultivation surged within her, enveloping her in a formidable protective aura.

Yet, she waited for a long moment, but the anticipated attack never materialized.

Inside the stone chamber, the figure remained sprawled on the ground, utterly still. Even her breathing was so faint it was almost imperceptible.

There were no spiritual energy fluctuations, no divine soul attacks, not the slightest hint of a threat. She was like a wine bottle with its cork removed, unconsciously releasing its fragrance into the air.

Han Shuang’s brow furrowed even deeper.

She couldn’t comprehend it.

However, her body’s reactions were undeniable. The sensation of comfort grew increasingly pronounced, a feeling both unfamiliar and exquisitely pleasant.

It was so comfortable that it terrified her.

Han Shuang’s expression shifted.

Her entire life had been a companionship with pain; pain was her strength, and her armor was the proof of her existence.

Now, someone sought to strip away her armor, a prospect that filled her with more alarm than outright death.

She instinctively took a step back, wanting to escape this ‘weakening’ aura, but her body felt too comfortable, as if she were soaking in a hot spring.

‘I… I must observe,’ she thought. ‘The initial reactions of the medicinal primer to the Cold Moon Cave’s environment, to record the data.’

Ultimately, reason prevailed.

Han Shuang found a perfectly grand and justifiable excuse for herself.

Instead of leaving, she took another step forward, pressing her face almost against the cold observation window.

She needed to understand, to figure out what exactly was happening.

In the dark stone chamber, Shen Zhaoqing remained prone.

However, she was not entirely unconscious.

Under the seal of the Severing Heaven’s Heart Seal, her emotions and most of her power were suppressed, naturally amplifying the comfort and relaxation she felt.

Even so, she instinctively repelled this power, yet found herself unable to fully resist it.

She recalled the legend of the ‘Dao Source Body’.

Once the aura of a ‘Dao Source Body’ was released, all living things in the world would yearn for it, even become dependent on it.

Han Shuang’s predicament mirrored this exactly.

She knew instinctively that this power was insidious, yet she could not resist its peculiar allure.

Eventually, she closed her eyes, her body relaxing completely, as she immersed herself in this unique power.

Her memories were locked away in a small, dark room deep within her divine soul, but her instincts remained.

—Cold.

This was the only sensation she could clearly perceive at that moment.

A cold that could freeze the very soul.

Her body’s survival instinct made her subconsciously seek a source of warmth.

But there was nothing here.

Only ice.

Thus, the ‘Dao Source Body’s’ passively emanating divine ability, stimulated by its host’s intense ‘will to survive,’ began to involuntarily increase its output.

If before it was in ‘standby mode,’ it was now in ‘energy-saving mode.’

More potent and richer vitality emanated outwards from her, colliding with and neutralizing the surrounding frigid energy. This created a small but relatively ‘warm’ aura around her body.

Shen Zhaoqing instinctively curled into a ball.
