Nine Yang Sword Saint - Chapter 286 - Dongfang Bingling's Sinful Debt
“How many levels did I breakthrough?” Yang Dingtian asked with a shaking voice.
“You broke through 16 levels.” Dongfang Niemie said, “Right now, you are already a 6-star Martial Ancestor. You are just four levels from becoming a Martial Supreme.”
“What?” Yang Dingtian let out an astonishing response.
’16 levels? I was unconscious for half a year, and I actually broke through 16 levels? When have such great things started happening to me?’
“I have another shocking thing to inform you.” Dongfang Niemie said, “Your qi vessel has an additional core flame, and it is a Mystic Flame, the true Million Spirit Demon Flame. You possess a Mystic Flame now and have stepped into the world of the strongest experts. From now on, you can cultivate for 24 hours a day, you can forge your soul sword, you can refine your sword soul, you can do nearly anything you wish to do, just because you possess the Mystic Flame. Subsequently, you will be able to break through to the Master class in another five years. In another ten or so years, you will reach your Master’s prime cultivation. You will achieve it 20 years earlier than me.”
“I have a Mystic Flame?” Yang Dingtian’s body shivered violently. Even though he was already mentally prepared, but after getting confirmation, he was still filled with indescribable ecstasy.
The Mystic Flame was the symbol of this world’s absolute experts.

In this world, there were less than five or six individuals who possessed Mystic Flames.
Those who possessed Mystic Flames were ultimately able to break through to the Grandmaster class.
And now, Yang Dingtian also possessed the Mystic Flame.
The heavens still favored Yang Dingtian.
To obtain this Mystic Flame, Yang Dingtian invested a lot of effort. He had experienced extreme dangers and countless setbacks.
The first flame was devoured by Yan Bieqin.
The second flame was devoured by Dongfang Bingling.
At that time, everything that Yang Dingtian had done only made things convenient for others. But he still didn’t give up and wanted to make use of the red crystal’s energy for breakthrough. However, the red crystal quickly lost all the energy.
Yang Dingtian was about to sink into despair and collapse.
Just before Yang Dingtian was in complete despair, the true Million Spirit Demon Flame bloomed. It entered Yang Dingtian’s body willingly and refined itself before turning into the core flame in Yang Dingtian’s qi vessel.
The entire process was extremely treacherous, complicated, and dispiriting.
At the final moment, Yang Dingtian fell asleep, the Mystic Flame was delivered to him, and he had obtained the Mystic Flame while his eyes were closed. When he reopened his eyes again, he had suddenly broken through by 16 levels.
Was there something even more bizarre than this?
Yang Dingtian honestly didn’t know if he should cry or laugh.
The heavens had a great love for Yang Dingtian, but the heavens enjoyed teasing him too.
Yang Dingtian closed his eyes to sense his qi vessel.
Sure enough, there was a flame floating gracefully and burning quietly. It didn’t seem much from the appearance, but it was filled with spirituality, and it felt as though there was another form of life inside Yang Dingtian’s body that was integrated.
The power and the efficacy of Mystic Flame was also astonishing. As long as time permitted, it would be completely indestructible.
Yang Dingtian couldn’t help himself as he immediately wanted to test it.
“Oh no…” But soon enough, Yang Dingtian remembered a very important matter.
Half a year had passed by, Dongfang Bingling instructed him to wake her up after one month. Dongfang Bingling was in the deepest hibernation, and one month was already the limit, but half a year had already passed.
Yang Dingtian immediately opened his eyes and turned around.
His first glance was the naked Dongfang Bingling, who was like a sitting sculpture.
The current Dongfang Bingling looked like she was still in an icebound state. There wasn’t any heartbeat, breathing, or pulse.
Without saying anything else, Yang Dingtian went over to put Dongfang Bingling on the ground and used his finger to search for the Jinmen acupuncture point. Dongfang Bingling mentioned that she would wake up once her Jinmen acupuncture point was pierced. Yang Dingtian retrieved a golden needle from his spatial ring and thrust accurately at the vital point.
Dongfang Bingling’s delicate body jerked, and Yang Dingtian instantly felt extremely overwhelming energy.
It was coming from Dongfang Bingling’s body. Her mystic meridians and her qi vessel surged with powerful energy, and it was much stronger than the previous Dongfang Bingling.
During this half a year, Dongfang Bingling had also been refining the Mystic Flame, and it seemed like her cultivation had a stunning breakthrough as well.
Yang Dingtian let out a long breath. If she possessed such powerful mystic qi energy, it meant she wasn’t dead yet. If Dongfang Bingling had perished because he didn’t wake her up in time, he would never be able to rest with a clear conscience.
Subsequently, Yang Dingtian felt Dongfang Bingling gradually regaining vitality.
After piercing Dongfang Bingling’s acupuncture point, Yang Dingtian helped Dongfang Bingling to sit up and waited for her to wake up.
But, Dongfang Bingling didn’t wake up!
Yang Dingtian placed his ear on her chest. There was a heartbeat!
Immediately after, Yang Dingtian placed a finger in front of her nose. There were breaths.
Yang Dingtian then felt her pulse, and there was a regular pulse.
All life signals were normal.
Be it heartbeat, breathing, or pulse, it revealed that Dongfang Bingling’s body was unprecedentedly healthy.
Half a year ago, due to Ba Bi’s explosion, she was already at her dying breath. Her mystic meridians were severed at dozens of places, and she might have perished.
Right now, she had completely recovered.
In fact, her beautiful face had a trace of blush, making her look even more charming.
She was unprecedentedly healthy, and she was stronger than she was half a year ago. But why wasn’t she waking up? What was happening?
Yang Dingtian panicked.
As such, he pushed Dongfang Bingling to the ground again and pierced her Jinmen acupuncture point with the golden needle.
Dongfang Bingling’s delicate body trembled again, but she still didn’t wake up.
Subsequently, Yang Dingtian started to use all sorts of methods, pressing her philtrum, using defibrillation.
Dongfang Bingling still didn’t wake up.
What exactly was happening? She was healthy, her mystic qi was powerful, but she just couldn’t wake up.
Inside the spatial ring, Yang Dingtian looked for a long dress and dressed Dongfang Bingling. He then explained the whole situation to his Master, Dongfang Niemie.
“Master, what is going on? Dongfang Bingling’s body is very healthy, and her mystic qi is stronger than before. But why is she still unconscious?” Yang Dingtian asked.
Dongfang Niemie’s breaths were filled with worry as he said, “Xiao Tian, Dongfang Bingling has been hibernating for too long, and her divine senses have already stopped completely. In Earth terms, she is now in a vegetative state.”
(NOTE:- Xiao Tian is an intimate way for Dongfang Niemie to address Yang Dingtian.)
“Vegetative state?!” Yang Dingtian was alarmed.
“That’s right, vegetative state.” Dongfang Niemie said, “To recuperate and to refine more Mystic Flame, she allowed herself to enter a deep hibernation. It is actually to use a spiritual technique to stop her divine senses and brain while maintaining circulation in the deepest parts of her consciousness. During this time, she wouldn’t feel anything and wouldn’t even dream. It is entirely different from being unconscious. Apart from her living body, it is as if her spirit is already dead. In such a condition, one will be able to cultivate with increased efficiency. But such a deep hibernation must only be maintained for one month. Once the one month is exceeded, the spirit and divine senses will be completely still and will never be able to wake up. As such, it is similar to the vegetative state on Earth.”
“How can this be?” Yang Dingtian was in a state of great guilt.
He promised Dongfang Bingling to wake her up in one month, but it was already half a year.
Even though Dongfang Bingling was his enemy, he was still in extreme pain. All the ecstasy of obtaining the Mystic Flame and breaking through by 16 levels had all vanished without a trace.
“Child, you are not to be blamed. The Million Spirit Demon Flame had seized your divine senses.” When Dongfang Niemie saw that Yang Dingtian was in pain, he consoled Yang Dingtian.
“No, this is still my responsibility.” Yang Dingtian asked with a trembling voice, “Master, is there any method to let her regain her divine senses? To let her wake up again? No matter the method or the consequences.”
Dongfang Niemie sighed and said, “I wish there were a method too. She is my daughter after all, but I truly don’t have any method to wake a person whose divine senses have stopped. Her condition is even worse than the people in vegetative states on Earth.”
“Are there really no other methods?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“I really don’t know any.” Dongfang Niemie replied.
“What about the holy water? Will it be useful?” Yang Dingtian suggested.
“The holy water might be able to cure any injuries, but Dongfang Bingling isn’t injured now. It is just that her divine senses have stopped.” Dongfang Niemie commented.
Even though Yang Dingtian’s Master was making sense, Yang Dingtian still took out a cup of holy water from his spatial ring and poured it into Dongfang Bingling’s mouth.
The holy water allowed Dongfang Bingling’s face to have more blush, but she still didn’t wake up. Her eyes were still shut, and there were no signs of eye movement, meaning she wasn’t even dreaming.
Yang Dingtian didn’t want to give up and took out some peak-grade elixirs for Dongfang Bingling to consume. But they were still ineffective.
“Ahhh!” Yang Dingtian roared and smashed his fist on the red crystal.
Subsequently, he laid on the ground and desperately came up with more ideas.
But his current mind was in chaos, and he couldn’t think of any good ideas. He could only lay down on the ground and look at the water above.
Right at this moment, Yang Dingtian felt moisture on the back of his head, and it was rather warm.
He was startled and thought that water was flowing down from above. But it was impossible as not a single drop of water had entered this space after half a year.
But if it weren’t the water from the pool above, what made Yang Dingtian’s hair wet?
Yang Dingtian touched his hair, and it was indeed wet.
He turned around and found out where the water came from.
Dongfang Bingling’s dress also had a wet patch.
As her spirit and divine senses were no longer working, the holy water that she had drunk earlier had uncontrollably been released by her body. She was exactly the same as a person in a vegetative state.
