379: Shattering the elixir to form an infant

As the first grand event held by the Zhou Family since their relocation to the Azure Dragon Domain,

although it was only two Golden Core True Persons becoming Dao Companions,

it involved the Zhou Family and another Soul Transformation power.

In the Azure Dragon Domain, all forces, big and small, sent envoys to attend.

They presented congratulatory gifts.

The scene was grand.

The Tianning Peaks became lively beyond compare for a time.

The vast clouds and mist dispersed, revealing a scene of Spiritual Qi permeating, immortal Aura overflowing, and peaks appearing ethereal, unlike anything in the mortal world.

It truly could be said that mountains are not great for their height, but for the immortals within them.

Although the Tianning Peaks were a blessed land before, they would not have had such a spectacle as today.

On the day of the grand ceremony,

from Thousand Fox Ridge, foxes emerged from the ridge.

Three beautiful figures arrived at Qingyang Peak, the center of the Tianning Peaks, to present their congratulatory gifts.

The leader was a woman who appeared to be in her thirties, every movement carrying a special charm that stirred the heart.

Behind her followed a handsome young male and female Cultivator.

"Old Ancestor instructed us to get closer to the Zhou Family Disciples, and if possible, becoming Dao Companions would be best."

The charming woman instructed the young figures behind her, whose eyes were filled with curiosity as they looked around.

"Understood."

The two nodded.

However, their thoughts were different.

As the three arrived,

Zhou Leren personally went out to greet them and led them up Qingyang Peak.

"Who is that?"

At this moment, the handsome male Cultivator following behind the woman looked towards a figure in the distance.

"Haha, that is a Nan-generation Disciple of my Clan, named Nan Feng."

Zhou Leren glanced into the distance and introduced her with a chuckle.

His tone carried a hint of praise.

In the distance, a beautiful figure stood gracefully, dressed in a long blue dress, with a bun hairstyle, and a simple, understated pale green jade hairpin on her head.

She was like an elf in the wind, with a gentle breeze swirling around her, dancing joyfully.

"What a promising talent, Fellow Daoist Zhou is truly blessed."

The leading woman praised.

"Not at all, not comparable to your esteemed Clan's Disciples."

Zhou Leren's lips curved into a smile as he waved his hand.

The woman chuckled softly and said nothing more.

The four did not linger, as if it were just an imperceptible interlude.

Several days later,

the ceremony concluded.

The envoys dispatched by various forces departed one after another.

"How was it?"

As the three figures bid farewell and departed, high in the sky, the woman in her thirties inquired.

"Not comparable to our Clan."

The young and beautiful woman thought for a moment, then said decisively.

"That is natural."

"However, with that one's protection, even if they are worse, they must still be regarded as a cut above."

The woman's tone was filled with emotion.

However, the confusion in her heart grew even stronger.

How could such a small Clan have gotten involved with that one?

It was truly inconceivable.

Moreover, they were Human Race.

The other young man did not speak, but a blue shadow flashed through his mind, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, with a hint of an enchanting handsomeness... Tianning Peaks, Qingyang Peak.

The Immortal Cave of Elder Beihai was adorned with lanterns and streamers, permeated with joy.

Elder Beihai, his eyes full of tenderness, led Qing Ruo's fair, delicate hand back into the Immortal Cave.

The Immortal Cave's Great Formation was wide open.

A Black Small Beast pounced towards Elder Beihai's embrace.

Elder Beihai seemed to be long accustomed to it; he extended a hand and placed the Black Small Beast on his shoulder.

The Black Small Beast affectionately nuzzled Elder Beihai's head, then looked towards Qing Ruo's figure.

Its big eyes were full of curiosity.

"You are Xiao Yi?"

Qing Ruo asked softly.

"It's me, who are you?"

A tender child's voice came from the mouth of the Black Small Beast.

"You tell him."

Qing Ruo nudged Elder Beihai's arm with her elbow.

"She is..."

Elder Beihai started to answer, but suddenly froze.

"How should I introduce her?"

Elder Beihai's thoughts solidified.

"Why does it feel like I'm marrying a wife while having a daughter?"

Elder Beihai began to doubt his life.

Ever since he brought Chao Xiaoyi back to the Clan,

he had been like a father with an extra daughter.

He had often cleaned up after Chao Xiaoyi.

This time, it truly stumped him.

"This is Qing Ruo, this Elder's Dao Companion."

Elder Beihai's expression turned serious as he said in a deep voice.

"Dao Companion, I understand!"

Chao Xiaoyi's big eyes sparkled with light, and her tender child's voice was full of conviction.

She was a clever demon, well-traveled and knowledgeable.

"You understand nothing..."

Elder Beihai complained inwardly.

Qing Ruo looked at Chao Xiaoyi in this state, her expression growing softer.

She gave out a series of many good things.

Making Chao Xiaoyi's eyes grow even wider.

Night fell.

A Black Small Beast was thrown out of the Immortal Cave.

Under Chao Xiaoyi's astonished gaze,

the Immortal Cave's Great Formation roared into operation.

Inside.

Red candles warmed the bed curtains, and the sound of stringed instruments filled the air, hinting at unknown happenings... Time flowed.

In a blink of an eye, three years had passed since the Zhou Family arrived in the Azure Dragon Domain.

On this day,

above the sixth floor of the Cultivation Manual Tower on Qingyang Peak.

A young figure sat cross-legged.

His Aura was restrained and unreleased.

Spiritual Qi continuously gathered towards the figure sitting cross-legged.

Zhou Leren's brows furrowed slightly, feeling a bit nervous.

He knew it had reached the most crucial moment.

His journey to the Xutuo Ancient Realm.

He had gained much.

Especially after creating his own magical art, the Jade Treasure Body.

He further enlightened his own path, gradually accumulating the foundation to unify his cultivation.

By today,

with the supply of the entire Azure Dragon Domain, the Zhou Family's resource foundation had multiplied countless times.

This further accelerated Zhou Leren's cultivation speed.

He had reached the critical point of Breakthrough.

However, even though he knew the path ahead, upon reaching this bottleneck, he still harbored some worries.

After all, this was a Realm no one in the Zhou Family had ever reached.

"Break!"

Zhou Leren adjusted his state.

After some time.

With one vigorous effort.

Vast Spiritual Qi surged towards him.

Boom!

Inside Zhou Leren's body.

A perfectly spherical Golden Core, full of Dao charm, spun with a roar.

Cracks began to appear.

When Zhou Leren made a forceful leap,

Crack!

The Golden Core shattered.

A phantom small figure emerged from the shattered Golden Core.

The small figure was about three inches tall, sitting cross-legged, identical in appearance to Zhou Leren.

The small figure opened its mouth and inhaled, streams of Spiritual Qi entering its body.

Nourishing the newly condensed body.

After a long time.

Once the body stabilized.

The small figure opened its eyes and leaped out from the top of its head.

Divine Sense, several times stronger than before, burst forth.

Between heaven and earth, every detail became clear.

Every blade of grass, every tree, seemed to contain truth.

This was something he could not perceive during his Golden Core stage.

"Of the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth, I now see but one."

The small figure sighed softly.

An anomaly manifested, birds sang in unison, and Spiritual Qi surged.

On this day,

Zhou Leren shattered his Golden Core and formed a Nascent Soul.

Honored as True Monarch Qingyang!

At this very moment,

at the bottom of the vast and ancient Cangyuan River.

The Giant Black Beast stirred slightly.

"Ding~"

"The time has come..."

A low voice echoed through the ceaseless Cangyuan River.
