The cracked jade in the hands of the White Bones of the Cold Pool turned Lu Qingya into the most unusual “vessel” in the Three Realms.
An ancient demon clan’s blood pact was wrapped around his left wrist, a Yin Fiend Pearl refined by the Xuanyin Sect was embedded in his chest, and a fragment of the Heavenly Secrets Stele that devoured spiritual energy was hidden in his spine.
The Holy Maiden of Medicine King Valley called him the perfect living vessel for a Chaos Spirit Root. An elder of the Xuanyin Sect eyed him as a cauldron for rebuilding a body and surviving the tribulation. Even the skeletal remains that had lain dormant at the bottom of the Cold Pool for ten thousand years knelt to him in his dreams, crying, “Guide to eternal life!”
When the nine layers of spiritual meridians cycled and formed the first Reverse Life Mark, Lu Qingya finally saw the truth:
So-called eternal life was nothing more than a possession scheme laid by ancient great powers three thousand years ago. And a third skeleton, belonging to no one, was growing inside his body.
(Core mysteries: the Heavenly Secrets Stele devours the Host’s memories / the Yin Fiend Pearl nourishes the Chaos Spirit Root in return / the demon clan pact awakens an ancient god within the body)
