753: I need to approve

Yao Delong looked at Qiong Shuang's money-grubbing appearance and shook his head helplessly yet dotingly.

His gaze bypassed the "small mountain" of jewelry and treasures, locking onto the two light clusters floating at the very top like a magnet!

On the left was a dark silver, silent, and restrained sword pellet the size of a pigeon egg that radiated a will as if to cleave the Void Realm—a gift from Myriad Sword Valley, the Dao Artifact-grade "Void-Severing Sword Pellet"!

On the right was a pair of pale silver transparent light wings flowing with dreamlike starlight, as if woven from space itself—the "dowry" from Moyang Sect, the creation dao artifact "taiyu flowing light wings"!

These two items were the peerless treasures that could truly bring a qualitative change to his strength!

With a thought, the Void-Severing Sword Pellet turned into a streak of dark silver light and fell into his palm.

It felt slightly cool and heavy in his hand, as if he were holding a piece of solidified Void Realm Sword Qi.

Yao Delong closed his eyes slightly, and a strand of condensed Divine Thought cautiously probed into the interior of the sword pellet.

Buzz—!

In an instant, a pure, sharp, and terrifying sword Dao will, enough to cut through everything, rushed into his Sea of Consciousness like a torrential flood!

Simultaneously, detailed information about this sword pellet flooded in:

This item needed to be placed at the Origin of the Dantian and nurtured with one's own Sword Intent. During the nurturing period, it could subtly enhance one's comprehension and power of the sword Dao.

When facing an enemy, one could instantly trigger the power of the sword pellet, erupting with a terrifying Sword Qi attack that far exceeded one's own Realm!

However, every activation required a long period of nurturing to accumulate energy; the minimum startup charge required a full year of nurturing!

Moreover, this sword pellet seemed too pure; its extreme sharpness actually hindered the birth of spirituality. The interior of the sword pellet was empty, with no artifact spirit existing within.

"I can only use it once after nurturing it for a year? This ultimate move's CD is a bit long..."

Yao Delong smacked his lips, but thinking of that terrifying lethality that surpassed his own Realm, this price was completely acceptable!

"No artifact spirit? That makes it even easier to control!"

Just then, a cold and somewhat lazy female voice sounded by his shoulder:

"Tsk, this sword pellet... is actually quite interesting."

With a flash of dark light, the artifact spirit of the ethereal kite immortal-slaying sword—the "You Yuan," a mature woman in black palace robes with an eerie and stunning temperament—manifested. She lightly stepped on the Void Realm with her bare feet, staring at the Void-Severing Sword Pellet with great interest.

"Kid, I feel..." You Yuan's red lips parted slightly, a hint of heat flashing in her eyes.

"If I could swallow it and integrate its Origin essence into my main body, the immortal slaying sword... I might be able to use this to break through to the level of a creation dao artifact in one fell swoop!"

Yao Delong's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly turned to look at You Yuan:

"Truly?!" If the immortal slaying dark kite sword could be promoted to a creation dao artifact, combined with its own powerful slaughtering baleful Qi, his combat power would undergo an earth-shaking change!

It would definitely not be inferior to, and might even surpass, the auxiliary capabilities provided by these taiyu flowing light wings!

You Yuan extended her slender jade finger and lightly tapped the Void-Severing Sword Pellet. Sensing that pure sword Dao sharpness, she nodded:

"Truly, of course. However..." Her tone shifted, carrying a hint of gravity.

"The Foundation of my main body is primarily based on the Yin and Yang Origin, supplemented by the slaughtering sword Dao. This sword pellet, however, is the ultimate pure sword Dao will.

To successfully fuse and devour it, you need to use the Yin and Yang Origin as a bridge. First, slowly permeate and integrate a portion of gentle Yin and Yang power into the interior of this sword pellet to neutralize its pure and sharp characteristics, so that its Origin no longer rejects my erosion."

"Using Yin and Yang power as a bridge?" Yao Delong's eyes lit up; this line of thinking was feasible!

He immediately sat down cross-legged, placed the Void-Severing Sword Pellet between his palms, and the majestic and pure Yin and Yang power within his body surged out continuously, cautiously attempting to permeate the interior of the sword pellet.

Chiii—!

However, just as his Yin and Yang power touched the inner wall of the sword pellet, the silent, pure Sword Intent seemed to have been provoked, instantly erupting like billions of fine steel needles!

Sizzle!

The strand of Yin and Yang power Yao Delong had poured in was like snow meeting a red-hot iron.

In an instant, it was completely strangled and annihilated by that incredibly sharp Sword Intent, vanishing without a trace! Not a single mark was left!

"Hiss..." Yao Delong gasped, a sharp, stinging pain coming from his palm.

His expression was grave as he tried a few more times, but the result was no different!

The sword Dao will inside that sword pellet was like an impregnable fortress. With his current level of Yin and Yang power, he couldn't even manage to pry open a single crack!

Let alone permeate and fuse with it!

"Sigh, it seems that with my current cultivation, I'm not yet able to shake the pure Sword Intent inside it."

Yao Delong sighed somewhat helplessly. Having a mountain of gold but being unable to enter the gate was truly a frustrating feeling.

You Yuan was not surprised and comforted him:

"It's fine. Once your Yin and Yang Origin progresses further, or your cultivation enters the Late Void Refining Stage, perhaps you'll have the ability to try. There's no rush."

She then seemed to remember something and lightly swiped her finger in the air.

A light cluster, warm as jade and radiating a strange vibration that nourished the Divine Soul, appeared. It was precisely the treasure "borrowed" from the "Demon Sect Princess" Xin Yuelan—the yanshen fetus!

"Oh, right. Earlier you asked me to help isolate its aura; I've already erased the Soul imprint on it."

You Yuan said casually, "This little thing has limited use for you now, at most nurturing your Primordial Spirit.

But for low-level Cultivators, it's a Heaven-Defying good item. It can continuously nourish and strengthen the Divine Soul, increasing the success rate of resisting Heart Demons during the Soul Transformation stage by several tens of percent."

Yao Delong took the yanshen fetus; it felt warm in his hand, and even his Divine Soul felt a sense of comfort.

Just as You Yuan said, this item indeed didn't help much at his current Realm, but it was better than nothing. With a thought, he brought it into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness to nurture his Primordial Spirit.

"Thank you, Senior You Yuan!" he thanked her sincerely.

You Yuan waved her hand and lazily stretched, her enchanting figure fully revealed:

"Alright, I've said everything that needs to be said. Kid, work hard to improve your strength; whether this queen can advance to a creation artifact depends on you!"

Before her voice faded, she had already turned into a streak of dark sword light and "whooshed" back into the Sea of Consciousness between Yao Delong's brows.

After seeing off You Yuan, Yao Delong took a deep breath and turned his gaze toward the pair of taiyu flowing light wings that radiated dreamlike starlight and pulled at the space Laws!

This was the key to immediately improving his combat power!

He extended his finger, with a hint of expectation and solemnity, and lightly touched the edge of the pale silver light wings.

They felt warm as jade and had a fine, cool texture, as if touching solidified starlight. But at the moment of contact, an anomaly suddenly occurred!

Buzz!

A pure and soft white light bloomed from the light wings, taking shape in front of Yao Delong.

It transformed into the phantom of an exquisitely beautiful woman dressed in a simple white dress, with an ethereal and gentle temperament.

Her eyes were clear, as if containing an endless starry sky; she was precisely the artifact spirit of the taiyu flowing light wings!

The white-dressed artifact spirit gazed calmly at Yao Delong, her voice clear and pleasant, yet carrying the unique majesty of a creation dao artifact:

"Young man, although the Moyang Sect has gifted me to you, a Dao Artifact has a spirit; choosing a master is no simple matter. To wield the taiyu flowing light wings, you must have my approval."

She tone was indifferent, neither making things difficult nor showing contempt, but simply stating a rule. A Dao Artifact has a spirit and its own pride.
