Chapter 3986: Unable to Make a Choice

Zixu made a timely move and saved a trace of Xiao Yi's soul. If his soul is not extinguished and his body is not dead, he will have the opportunity to be reborn.

Thinking about his disciple, he is quite courageous. If it were someone else, he would never choose such a risky way. He would simply gamble with his life.

"I am not out of options. I want to try my ability. Thank you, Master."

"Well, I, an old man, haven't said thank you yet. The primordial energy is so precious. You didn't refine it yourself, but left it to me. If it weren't for you, I don't know when my residual soul would completely dissipate."

Zixu was grateful. Even if he didn't help Xiao Yi at that time, his residual soul couldn't hold on for long. The only way was to find the primordial energy and let him devour and refine it to maintain the survival of the residual soul.

This time, his disciple had a strange encounter. If Xiao Yi collected these primordial energy and slowly refined it, the speed of cultivation would increase several times. Such a great opportunity, no one would be willing to miss it.

But Xiao Yi was not selfish, and left everything to this old man. Zixu remembered the kindness of his apprentice in his heart. This apprentice did not make a mistake, and finally his residual soul was maintained and recovered 10% of his strength.

"I refined the primitive energy you found and recovered 10% of my strength in the past. Many things that I couldn't do have solutions."

"That's great. I remember Master, you said that as long as you recover 10% of your strength, you can help Zhuque suppress the power in her body, right?"

Xiao Yi said excitedly. He clearly remembered what the master had said. Zixu nodded. It was true. He said so.

"Yes, with my current ability, I can directly extract the residual soul of the person in her body, but this requires a prerequisite."

Zixu changed the topic, and Xiao Yi could hear that this matter seemed not as simple as he thought, and his face became heavy.

Presumably, the master had not finished speaking, and Zixu did not want to hurt Xiao Yi's confidence, but the facts were facts, and no one could change them, and he could not lie to Xiao Yi.

With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked past Xiao Yi, not knowing where to start. After organizing his thoughts, Zixu spoke.

"With my current strength, I can indeed forcibly extract the residual soul that is boarding the girl, so that she can regain her freedom, but doing so requires a price."

"What price?"

"I can only save one of the two."

Zixu told Xiao Yi clearly, Xiao Yi was stunned, and then he also understood the meaning of his master's words, Suzaku is pregnant with his child.

"Only one can be saved" means that Xiao Yi has to make a choice between adults and children. Zixu saw Xiao Yi in a daze, and this is indeed a difficult choice to make, he sighed.

"If it was before, it would be very simple. I would forcibly extract the residual soul that is boarding. In this way, at most, there will be some damage to the girl, and she can recover after a period of recuperation."

Such an approach will hurt the root, and it also requires people with the strength of Zixu to do it. After the residual soul is extracted, Suzaku will naturally suffer damage, but such damage is not a problem.

"Now she is pregnant, the same approach will hurt the fetus in her belly. The fetus has not yet formed, so it naturally cannot resist. The residual soul is extracted, which also means that the fetus will die in the womb. I'm sorry that I don't have any tricks to reverse this situation."

"Of course, if you choose to use adults as containers to suppress the residual souls and wait for the fetus to be born, the soul power will conflict and the two are incompatible. In this case, the child can be saved, but the adult must make sacrifices."

Zixu told Xiao Yi all the consequences. No matter which one, Xiao Yi could not bear it. He shook his head immediately after hearing it and said decisively.

"No! I can't accept such a result."

Xiao Yi promised the third elder that he would find Zhuque back and take good care of him. How could he go against his promise to others?

So no matter what choice he made, he would not do it. Seeing his apprentice so sad and painful, Zixu felt very uncomfortable.

He told Xiao Yi the method, but he had to pay such a price. How could Xiao Yi accept it? He sighed.

"Disciple, it's the master who is sorry for you."

"No, it's not your fault. I know you have tried your best to find a solution. Let me think about this matter again."

Xiao Yi's mood was very complicated. He needed to calm down, but now he didn't even have the chance to calm down. Now he was still trapped in the Eight-foot Mirror. Mieko outside was trying to open the coffin of his ancestor.

"Master, let's put this matter aside first. Do you have a way to break the space law in this mirror? I still have one thing to do."

Xiao Yi had studied it before. It's not that simple to break the space law here. He has almost no research on the space law.

Trapped in this mirror, the outside world didn't know how much time had passed. If Mieko succeeded, how to give an explanation to War Wolf, Xiao Yi couldn't stay here for a minute.

Zixu stroked his gray beard, looked at the environment here, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Xiao Yi knew that the master had a way.

"It's just a simple law of space. It seems difficult to break open, but it's actually very simple. I'll teach you how to break it right now."

Taking this opportunity, Zixu also taught Xiao Yi some key points of the laws of space. With the power of Xiao Yixuan's soul, it is very easy to control the laws of space.

While Zixu was teaching Xiao Yi, Miezi from the outside world spent nearly an hour finally opening the coffin. Eighteen iron chains hung the coffin together, and thirty-six secret locks were set on the coffin.

As long as there is a mistake in unlocking the coffin, the secret lock on the coffin will close on its own, and it will take a month to return to its original state. This setting leaves many tomb robbers with no choice but to give up.

However, after Mieko entered the ninja organization, in order to train her, the people at the top deliberately taught her the skills to crack the mechanism and use it to perform this task. Although it took a lot of time, Mieko finally succeeded.

"Kusuo... finally opened it, I want to see what treasures there will be inside!"

The excited Mieko held her breath and focused her eyes on the open coffin lid. The coffin lid slowly rose and moved to both sides under the push of the mechanism.
