764: Seclusion!

Luoxia Peak, Yao Delong's exclusive Immortal Cave.

The heavy stone door closed with a bang, isolating the inside from the outside.

Yao Delong sat cross-legged on the jade prayer mat in the center of the quiet room, his eyes sharp as lightning.

"1410 points of yin-yang value, it's time to clear them out!" he thought to himself.

Only when this yin-yang value is converted into solid strength is it true wealth!

However, before starting to add points, he must first refine that crucial great void spirit nurturing pill! Otherwise, the risk for the subsequent Cultivation Technique practice would be too great!

He took a deep breath, suppressing the urgency in his heart.

Buzz!

A massive cauldron, mysterious yellow in color and ancient and heavy in design, with lifelike carvings of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers upon it, landed with a crash!

It was precisely his Alchemy treasure—the mountain river sun moon cauldron!

Next, as if by magic, he laid out over a dozen incredibly rare auxiliary medicines before him, including nine-leaf soul returning grass, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nurturing Wood Pith, Ice Soul Jade Soul Flower, and Star Condensing Spirit Dew.

Each one emitted an astonishing spiritual charm and was worth a fortune!

Everything was ready!

Yao Delong's gaze narrowed as his mind communicated with the depths of his Dantian!

Poof!

A cluster of miraculous flames, burning with nine different colors, emitting a glazed treasure light, and possessing a temperature high enough to melt gold and iron, appeared in his palm—it was the extraordinary heaven and earth fire he had spent immense effort to subdue, the Glazed Hearth Fire!

"Open the furnace!"

With a low shout, the nine-colored Glazed Hearth Fire was instantly cast into the bottom of the mountain river sun moon cauldron!

The body of the cauldron buzzed, and the temperature rose sharply!

Yao Delong looked focused, his hands turning into phantoms as he struck one mysterious hand seal after another into the cauldron,

Like a master conductor, controlling the divine fire and Spirit Medicine in an exquisite dance!

For the current Yao Delong, who was already an Eighth Order Peak Alchemist and possessed a divine fire and treasure cauldron, although refining this great void spirit nurturing pill was difficult, it was not beyond his control!

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

When the medicinal fragrance accumulated in the Immortal Cave became so dense it nearly liquefied, the sky above the cave suddenly changed color!

Rumble!

Pitch-black tribulation cloud gathered frantically, and violent thunder power brewed within! A Pill Lightning Tribulation!

And judging by its power, it had actually reached the level of a full-strength strike from a Void Refinement Mid-stage Cultivator!

"Noisy!" Yao Delong's cold snort came from within the Immortal Cave.

Just as the first purple Pill Lightning, as thick as a bucket and containing an aura of destruction, struck down fiercely!

A massive handprint that blotted out the sky, condensed from the purest Law of Yin and Yang Qi, ignored the distance of space and appeared out of thin air beneath the tribulation cloud!

That handprint gave a gentle squeeze!

Crack! Boom!

Like crushing an egg!

That terrifying Pill Lightning, along with the thick tribulation cloud that had gathered for five days, was instantly crushed by this great Yin and Yang palm! Annihilated! Dissipating into a sky full of light specks!

Overbearing! Forceful! An invincible posture!

This was the method of a Void Refining Realm powerhouse!

The tribulation cloud dispersed, and a rosy light soared into the sky within the Immortal Cave!

Yao Delong looked at the pill in his palm, the size of a longan, crystalline like glazed glass, with countless tiny stars being born and extinguished inside, emitting a vast aura of nurturing the Divine Soul—the great void spirit nurturing pill!

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The pill was complete!

Everything was ready!

"System!" Yao Delong called out in his heart, communicating with the mysterious existence that accompanied his rise to power.

"Add points, Dual Source Dao Derivation True Scripture Void Refining Chapter—Origin Differentiation!" His intention was resolute!

This was a key step on the path to becoming stronger! No matter how much pain, it was worth it!

[Ding! Command detected. Adding points to 'Origin Differentiation' of the Dual Source Dao Derivation True Scripture Void Refining Chapter requires 400 yin-yang value! Confirm?]

"Confirm!" Yao Delong didn't hesitate! Wasn't this yin-yang value earned through his hard work (kidney: MMP!)? If not now, when?

[Ding! 400 yin-yang value consumed! Current remaining yin-yang value: 1010 points!]

[Ding! Cultivation Technique analysis in progress... Analysis complete! Beginning transmission of insights...]

In an instant!

Boom!

Like a divine revelation! Like a flood bursting a dam!

A massive, profound, and incredibly mysterious set of insights regarding "dao foundation Stripping," "Primordial Spirit Differentiation," and "Origin Imprinting"

Poured frantically into Yao Delong's Primordial Spirit Sea of Consciousness, as if they had been instincts imprinted deep in his Soul long ago!

There was no stagnation, no lack of understanding! It was as if he had been immersed in studying this secret technique for hundreds of years!

"So that's how it is! Marvelous! Truly marvelous!"

A Soul-stirring light erupted in Yao Delong's eyes; he instantly understood this Heaven-Defying secret technique, every detail crystal clear!

"Then... let's begin!" A flash of determination crossed his eyes!

Differentiating the Primordial Spirit! Stripping the dao foundation! This was a truly Heaven-Defying act, fraught with extreme danger!

He immediately operated his Cultivation Technique, his consciousness sinking deep into his Dantian Qi Sea, onto that near-solid dao foundation constructed from the Five Elements Origin!

Step one, differentiate the Primordial Spirit imprint!

This required forcibly tearing away a portion of his pure Primordial Spirit Origin and endowing it with an independent will imprint!

"Ugh, ah—!"

Even with the perfect understanding and preparation from the System's infusion, when that tearing pain from deep within the Soul arrived, Yao Delong still couldn't help but let out a muffled groan suppressed to the limit!

Veins bulged on his forehead, and cold sweat instantly soaked his robes! That pain far surpassed being sliced a thousand times in the Physical Body! It was as if his entire Soul was being ripped open alive!

Half a month passed slowly in this inhuman torture.

Yao Delong's face was as pale as paper, his aura withered to the extreme, but his eyes remained as sharp as knives!

Finally!

A Primordial Spirit imprint containing the aura of Yao Delong's Soul Origin, yet already independent and emitting a faint spiritual light, was successfully stripped from his main Primordial Spirit!

It hovered within his Sea of Consciousness!

Meanwhile, his main Primordial Spirit was currently weak and exhausted, its light dim, like a candle in the wind!

Yao Delong dared not delay and immediately took out the great void spirit nurturing pill he had just refined and swallowed it!

Boom!

The pure and vast medicinal power, like nectar from the Nine Heavens, instantly dissolved, frantically nourishing his nearly depleted Primordial Spirit!

That Soul-rending pain was soothed by the cool and gentle power, and his weak Primordial Spirit recovered its luster and strength at a visible speed!

"Whew..." Yao Delong let out a long breath, but a more intense fire burned in his eyes.

"Next step..."

He cast his gaze deep into his Dantian, at that incredibly stable Five Elements Origin dao foundation that carried all his power from the Void Refining Realm!

"Strip!"

A new round of tearing, even more dangerous and ten thousand times more painful, was about to begin! His body trembled slightly because of this terrifying thought!

A look of ruthlessness flashed in Yao Delong's eyes as he suppressed the instinctive resistance from deep within his Soul!

"Dual Source Dao Derivation True Scripture, rotate for me!" he roared in his heart!

Inside the Dantian Qi Sea, that vigorous and surging Void Refining essence, which had almost turned liquid, surged frantically like an army receiving an order!

No longer a gentle wrapping, it turned into countless tough and sharp essence chains flickering with Law runes,

Instantly entangling that massive dao foundation located at the core of the Dantian, emitting five-colored light and representing the Five Elements Origin Foundation!
