The Yao Emperor and His Human Doctor.

Chapter 72 - Spiritual Sea.

"............"
What a smart doctor! Qiang Yong snorted in thought as he plunged into the vastness of Su Ning's spiritual sea. Now that Dr. Su took the initiative to kiss him, even if it was a trick to help him, he couldn't even take the opportunity to enjoy it even a little bit! As soon as he drank the sweet and warm blood, he and Su Ning could share the same spiritual sea, as if their cores were linked.

Furthermore, Su Ning used this connection to render him unconscious, so it wasn't like the other times when he just gave the energy to An Shu and the flower fairies. There's something! He knew there must always be some risk in these drastic treatments! However, there were some disadvantages to this technique that the emperor was prepared to take advantage of.

Firstly, Su Ning should also be unconscious, and when he woke up he would probably be weakened from using too much of his spiritual powers in the process. Then he would taste his own medicine! Qiang Yong entertained this idea for some time. Second, he now had access to all of the doctor's memories, without exception, or at least, what was left of them.

He could check Su Ning's memories of the day they met for the first time.
Qiang Yong then let himself fall gently as if sinking into a dense fluid, but soon he felt a firm place to land and his feet fell gently onto a smooth surface. It was like being on a reflecting pool. Around him it was neither light nor dark, but it was as if he was under a starry night sky.

“So this is your spiritual sea?” Qiang Yong admired the crystal clear water beneath his feet, reflecting the stars. Beneath the surface of these peaceful waters were small luminous spheres, fragments of memories floating in the infinite dark blue. Two hundred years was enough time to make a lot of memories and Qiang Yong was having a hard time finding the one he wanted.

Then he had an idea. He calmly headed towards the direction of the spiritual core. The sphere of blue and violet light kept the environment around it brighter than the rest. He could see the rift dividing it in half, preventing the energy from coming together again. The emperor felt sad as he approached. Su Ning was an extraordinary person, if he couldn't repair this damage, how could Ren Loo?

However, he still had hopes for his sister's work. As he expected, upon seeing an intruder, one of the seven souls manifested near the core to protect it [1]. The Sect could remove a spiritual core but could not reuse it without refining it first, however, under conditions like this, it could very well absorb another's spiritual core without needing to do so.

That's why this was a technique that cultivators avoided using, especially since a soul like that couldn't face a yao as powerful as him. Even so, one of the souls manifested itself. Seeing that the opponent was not ill-intentioned, the form that appeared was exactly like the nine-year-old child Su Ning that Qiang Yong saw under Xing Ou Yang's spell. A small red ideogram, written Xin, was drawn on his clothes.

"What are you doing here? How can I help you?" The little boy smiled at him solicitously. Qiang Yong returned the smile, stroking his head. Su Ning must have had a very strong attachment to this stage, childhood, to show himself like this. Or maybe it was because it was an unresolved period in his life.
"I would like to see a memory."
The little boy tilted his head, wondering. "A memory?"

"Yes, a specific memory." He pointed to the spheres in the reflecting pool. "From when you first saw me... a hundred years ago. Do you know where it is?"
That soul fragment didn't understand why he wanted to see this. In it were only childhood memories, although he knew how to locate what the emperor wanted. He didn't recognize this person either, but he sympathized with him as soon as he saw him.

The child twisted his wrist and the spheres, which had been floating still, began to move and rotate around them, tracing ever smaller circles. The child watched them, refusing some, so quickly that another person would not be able to follow. Then he stopped at one and bent down to grab it.
"I think this is it!"
