Chapter 1106: Chapter 259: The Withering Magic Soul
During Yun Shengâs diagnosis, Yun Canghai didnât dare blink. He understood that if even his daughter couldnât figure out the reason behind Hu Jiushengâs coma, then there was probably no one left on the continent who could save his wife.
Yun Sheng was also aware that she could only hope to use Shennongâs Eyes and the power of the Dark Needle to investigate Hu Jiushengâs condition.
The medical system of Wuji Continent is different from modern medicine. Yun Sheng and the great national doctors examined only through pulse and symptoms.
However, Yun Sheng, who possessed Shennongâs Eyes and the Medical Soul Divine Needleâs Dark Needle Power, had an additional method compared to other doctors on the Wuji Continent.
The Dark Needle moved within Hu Jiushengâs body, and through Yun Shengâs eyes, she slowly saw the state inside Hu Jiushengâs body. Blood vessels, organs, nerves, and brain, everything seemed normal.
Just as Yun Sheng was about to withdraw the Dark Needle Power, the Dark Needle suddenly entered a special realm.
What is this?
It was a magic wave, and this magic wave came from Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul.
Yun Sheng was secretly startled and suddenly realized that her Dark Needle Power was capable of directly touching a mageâs Magic Soul.
This unintentional discovery surprised Yun Sheng greatly. Before this, she never knew that her Dark Needle Power could also examine the Magic Soul.
Yun Sheng thought about it and deduced that the only explanation could be that the strand of Light Magic Soulâs Soul Power from Ji Ru Mo earlier had entered her body, causing a mutation in her Medical Soul Divine Needle, and unexpectedly giving Yun Shengâs Dark Needle a special ability to explore the Magic Soul.
Ji Ru Mo himself was an outstanding Light Mage, and his light magic healing was top-notch on the entire continent.
Realizing that she might have already touched her mother Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul, Yun Sheng became cautious.
Yun Sheng composed herself and concentrated on guiding the Dark Needle Power to slowly enter Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul.
Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul emitted a glow.
Unlike Yun Shengâs multi-element Magic Soul, Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul contained only two colors: one gray and the other black.
These two colors represented the Space-Time attribute and Dark attribute in magic, respectively.
"So, Mother is also a dual-attribute mage. No wonder she was able to use such a powerful Space-Time Prohibition Magic last time. Judging by the size of Motherâs Magic Soul, her strength should be between a Holy Sanctuary Mage King and a Magic God. I just donât know what level Mother has reached as a Summoner," Yun Sheng pondered, but then she suddenly noticed something unusual about Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul.
Generally, a mageâs Magic Soul is stable when not using magic.
With a mageâs progression in the magic realm, the Magic Soul normally grows stronger, but Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul was like an oil lamp flickering in the wind, very unstable.
Moreover, the magic power emanating from her Magic Soul was continuously weakening.
Why would a perfectly fine Magic Soul weaken and shrink without any reason?
Yun Sheng drove a portion of the Dark Needle Power into Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul.
As soon as the Dark Needle entered the Magic Soul, Yun Sheng felt a powerful suction force, as if it wanted to swallow her Dark Needle instantly.
That was her motherâs magic power; the Magic Soul is the core energy of a mage, even more important than the heart.
Even though Hu Jiusheng was in a coma, she was aware of the foreign invasion, and her Magic Soul instinctively repelled Yun Shengâs Dark Needle Power.
In terms of cultivation, there was still a gap between Yun Shengâs current cultivation and that of Hu Jiusheng. Hu Jiusheng was already on the verge of the peak of the Holy Sanctuary Mage King, just a step away from becoming a Magic God.
Yun Sheng, after absorbing the Soul Power from Ji Ru Mo, was only at the middle level of the Holy Domain Magic Emperor. If they fought head-to-head, her Magic Soul would not be a match for Hu Jiushengâs.
But Yun Sheng, having come this far, was not willing to back down easily. She was very aware that something had to have happened within Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul to cause it to keep shrinking.
In such a situation, she could only remain passive, unable to confront it directly; otherwise, it could harm Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul, worsening her condition.
Yun Sheng hesitated, contemplating what method she could use to make Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul stop resisting.
While Yun Sheng was hesitating, a touch of Soul Power left by Ji Ru Mo in her Magic Soul gleamed.
The gentle Light Magic Power made Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul vibrate, and the earlier resistance gradually faded away.
Seizing the opportunity, Yun Shengâs Dark Needle entered Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul.
Yun Sheng conducted a thorough search and quickly discovered a trace of prohibition in Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul.
There was still a remnant of Red Robe Summoning Emperor Ji Rumoâs Magic Power on the prohibition.
Apparently, before Ji Rumo died, he had left a prohibition in Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul.
This prohibition, combined with the Heart Crystal, had been controlling Hu Jiusheng.
But now, the Red Robe Summoning Emperor was dead, and the prohibition had become ineffective.
This was the reason for Motherâs unconsciousness!
Yun Sheng suddenly opened her eyes and quickly retracted the Dark Needle Power.
The surroundings were silent, and only then did Yun Sheng realize that it was already completely dark outside.
The diagnosis had taken an entire afternoon.
Using both the Dark Needle and Shennongâs Eyes for examination had drained her physically. Yun Sheng focused and meditated for a moment to recover some of her Qi Power.
Beside her, only Yun Canghai remained vigilant, while everyone else had been persuaded to leave by Yun Canghai.
"Shengâer, howâs it going? Is there any result?" Just now, Yun Canghai had been watching from the side. Seeing his daughterâs complexion gradually return to normal, he knew that she had probably discovered Hu Jiushengâs condition, and his eyes filled with a bit of hope.
"Father, you donât have to worry. I think I know why Mother has become like this. The cause of her coma is that her Magic Soul is continuously shrinking," Yun Sheng said with certainty. Hu Jiushengâs coma was indeed related to her Magic Soul.
"Magic Soul shrinking? Shengâer, what kind of illness is this? Why has such a condition never been heard of on the continent?" Yun Canghai wondered in confusion.
It wasnât just Yun Canghai; even Yun Sheng herself, had she not personally witnessed Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul, wouldnât have believed that a Magic Soul could shrink.
For mages, Magic Soul shrinking is a severe issue.
In minor cases, it can deprive a mage of all cultivation, while in severe cases, it can lead to death.
The reason for Magic Soul shrinking might be because Hu Jiusheng had been missing a strand of her soul for years, or maybe the Red Robe Summoning Emperor had placed some kind of prohibition on her.
Now that the Red Robe Summoning Emperor is dead, the prohibition might have failed, affecting Hu Jiushengâs Magic Soul.
Damn Red Robe Summoning Emperor, heâs still causing trouble for Mother even after death, Yun Sheng gritted her teeth.
"Now that weâve found the cause, is there a way to stop the Magic Soul from continuing to shrink?" Yun Canghai seemed to see a ray of hope and looked at Yun Sheng with anticipation.
