712: Fairy Longyu

And in the deepest part of the great hall, atop a seemingly ordinary White Jade Cloud Couch—

A woman was reclining lazily.

She wore a simple, moon-white Daoist robe, yet it could not hide her tall and exquisite figure with its graceful curves.

Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, loosely held up by a single simple jade hairpin, with a few stray strands falling by her cheeks.

Her countenance was peerlessly elegant, her skin whiter than frost and snow, and her features were so exquisite they seemed like the most perfect masterpiece of heaven and earth,

appearing to be only in her twenties, yet within those eyes as deep as the starry sky lay the settled vicissitudes and wisdom of one who had seen through the world.

At this moment, she was holding an ancient-looking Jade Slip between two slender, translucent white fingers, seemingly reading it.

Her posture was lazy and casual, yet a cold, noble, and untainted immortal aura naturally flowed around her, as if a profound goddess from the Nine Heavens had descended to the mortal Realm.

She was none other than the Grand Elder of the Yin Yang Sect and the previous Peak Revered Master of Luoxia Peak—Fairy Long Yu!

This was the first time Yao Delong had seen this legendary Martial Ancestor from such a close distance.

During the last True Disciple Examination, he had only felt her cold gaze from across the void.

Now face-to-face, despite his firm resolve, he couldn't help but be momentarily dazed by her breathtaking and peerless elegance.

This Martial Ancestor's beauty was similar to the cold and aloof nature of his Revered Master, Leng Yuekui, yet it possessed an added depth from the passage of time and a transcendence that looked down upon all living beings!

It was as if, with her sitting there, this grotto-heaven, and even the entire world, were merely a scroll in her palm.

Just as Yao Delong's mind was shaken, a cold, mechanical voice rang out in his Sea of Consciousness:

【Target: Long Yu】

【Age: 2689】

【Cultivation: Late Stage Body Integration】

【Spiritual Power Affinity: 10】

【Favorability: 60 (Friendly)】

The cold System notification in his Sea of Consciousness, especially the max affinity of 10 points and the initial friendly favorability of 60 points, made Yao Delong's heart pound!

The System automatically displaying information was a clear signal—this beautiful Martial Ancestor, who had lived for nearly three thousand years, was also a target that could be "conquered"!

‘Good heavens... a Martial Ancestor... this difficulty...’ Yao Delong's thoughts raced, but he maintained a respectful expression, not daring to show the slightest abnormality.

While he was dazed, Martial Ancestor Long Yu's cold and melodious voice, devoid of much emotional fluctuation, rang out in the hall like pearls falling onto a jade plate:

“Kid Yao, very good.”

Long Yu put down the ancient Jade Slip, her eyes, deep as the starry sky and filled with endless wisdom, fell upon Yao Delong with an imperceptible trace of scrutiny.

“In just over a year, you've actually soared from the Nascent Soul Realm all the way to the Perfected Spirit Transformation Stage? Such progress would be shocking even in the ancient era when prodigies emerged in large numbers.”

Her tone was calm, but her words carried immense weight.

Clearly, Yao Delong's Heaven-Defying cultivation speed had caused a significant stir even for this Grand Elder at the Late Stage Body Integration.

During the last True Disciple Examination, this boy's solid Foundation and resilient Dao Heart had already earned her some appreciation, but she never expected his cultivation talent to be so terrifying!

Yao Delong immediately snapped back to his senses and suppressed the ripples in his heart, knowing that in front of an old monster who had lived for nearly three thousand years, any lies would be suicidal.

He didn't dare fabricate reasons as he did when fooling his own Revered Master.

He took a deep breath, went straight to the point, and bowed.

“Reporting to Martial Ancestor, this Disciple has come to humbly request your guidance.

I seek a Heaven Rank Five Elements Cultivation Technique, but there is no such record in the Sect's Scripture Pavilion.

Revered Master mentioned that Martial Ancestor traveled the world in her early years and has vast knowledge, so perhaps you might have a lead. Thus, I have ventured to come and disturb you.”

“A Heaven Rank Five Elements Cultivation Technique?”

Long Yu's delicate brows twitched imperceptibly, and her gaze instantly became sharper, like a tangible sword of Divine Thought, scanning through Yao Delong's body without any hindrance!

“Ugh!” Yao Delong felt a chill all over, as if he had been seen through from the inside out!

Under the Divine Thought scan of a Late Stage Body Integration powerhouse, he felt as though all his secrets were laid bare!

As expected!

For the first time, a clear look of shock appeared on Long Yu's beautiful, tranquil face!

She clearly "saw" that within Yao Delong's Dantian and Qi Sea, besides that powerful and pure Yin-Yang Origin—which had already pushed the Sunset Glow Illuminating Yin-Yang Art to the Perfection of its Soul Transformation chapter—there was actually another completely different, yet equally condensed and vibrant Origin aura slowly circulating!

Dual Source dao foundation!

“This... how is this possible?!” Even though Long Yu's Heart-Nature and cultivation had reached the Transcendent stage, a massive wave of shock surged in her heart!

One person possessing two Origins? This simply overturned the common knowledge of the cultivation world!

No wonder this kid progressed so quickly, and no wonder he was looking for a Heaven Rank Five Elements Cultivation Technique!

He clearly intended to use the power of the Five Elements to completely stabilize and strengthen that second Origin, forging a truly peerless Dual Source dao foundation!

Yao Delong felt uncomfortable and his scalp tingled under Long Yu's direct gaze, which felt as if she were dissecting him. He couldn't help but bow again and call out:

“Martial Ancestor?”

Only then did Long Yu snap back from her immense shock, realizing her loss of composure.

She raised her slender fingers slightly to cover her lips and feigned a light cough, hiding the shock on her face, but the inquisitive look in her eyes grew even stronger.

“Ahem... as for Heaven Rank Five Elements Cultivation Techniques, this Old Ancestor does indeed have a few scrolls in my collection.”

Long Yu's voice returned to its coldness, but Yao Delong keenly caught an imperceptible tremor. “However, kid, how can such a precious treasure be given to you for nothing?”

Hearing that she actually had them! Yao Delong was ecstatic but became even more respectful on the surface:

“Whatever instructions Martial Ancestor has, please speak plainly! This Disciple will not hesitate to face ten thousand deaths and will surely do my utmost to complete them!”

At Long Yu's Realm, there were indeed very few things that could move her heart. Cultivation Techniques? She had already reached the Late Stage Body Integration and had her own path.

Magic Treasures? She also had her natal Dao Artifact. Power? Even more like passing clouds.

But the mystery of Yao Delong's Dual Source dao foundation was like a feather, lightly tickling the depths of her Dao Heart.

“Kid,” Long Yu said with deep eyes, directly pointing it out,

“Within your Dantian, that second Origin... what secret technique was used to forge it? Possessing dual Origins is unheard of. Aren't you afraid of an Origin conflict or your dao foundation collapsing?”

Her tone carried a hint of curiosity and a touch of warning.

Yao Delong's heart skipped a beat: As expected, she saw through it! His secrets were completely exposed!

He didn't dare mention Luo Tianying, let alone the System. In a flash of inspiration, he immediately threw out the explanation he had prepared long ago:

“Reporting to Martial Ancestor, this secret technique is called the True Scripture of Dual Source World Derivation. It was something this Disciple obtained by chance after a narrow escape in the God Burial Abyss Secret Realm!”

Yao Delong's tone was filled with lingering fear and gratitude, appearing incredibly genuine.

“This technique requires forging a Dual Source dao foundation with a special method during the Nascent Soul Realm. In the Void Refining stage, it can differentiate into an Origin Clone. If one can Cultivate to the Integration Realm and perfectly fuse the dual Origins, one would be nearly invincible among those of the same rank!”

As he spoke, he pointed his fingers like a sword and quickly sketched in the air. A mote of light, condensing the core outline of the secret technique and some mysterious runes, respectfully floated toward Long Yu.

Long Yu reached out her slender finger and gently drew the mote of light into her forehead.

In an instant, a vast flow of information poured into her Primordial Spirit.
