765: Passing through customs!

The Qi chains were not only meant to envelop, but to forcibly sever the intimate connection between the dao foundation and the Meridians, acupoints, and the entire Physical Body!

"Pfft—!"

Almost the instant the Qi chains tightened and cut, Yao Delong violently spat out a mouthful of essence blood imbued with rich Five Elements energy!

His complexion instantly shifted from pale to the color of gold paper!

He clearly felt that his Void Refining Realm cultivation, which had originally been as stable as a mountain and seemingly connected to the Five Elements of heaven and earth, suddenly plummeted by a significant margin!

His aura fluctuated violently, like a candle flame in a gale, and his Realm was actually in danger of falling!

A sense of weakness originating from the source of his life swept through his entire body! It felt as if his entire Foundation was being forcibly dug out!

"Fortunately... fortunately, after these few days of 'diligent cultivation' and the nourishment of the Yin and Yang Origin, my Foundation is far more stable than others at the same level!"

Yao Delong secretly rejoiced in his heart. If not for the several deep Dual Cultivation sessions with Yao, Miao, and Chan, where the fusion of Yin and Yang had greatly strengthened his Origin, he feared his Realm would have collapsed before his dao foundation could even be separated!

He gritted his teeth and held on, cold sweat flowing like a stream down his forehead, his teeth chattering with the pressure!

Every minute and every second felt like suffering the torture of a thousand cuts! The Qi chains were cutting not just the energy connection, but the bond between his life and his dao foundation!

Finally!

Just when Yao Delong felt he was about to be completely swallowed by this pain!

"Clang—!" A crisp snapping sound, seemingly from the depths of his Soul, rang out!

The Five Elements dao foundation, which carried most of his cultivation, was the size of a fist, swirled with five colors like a tangible jade treasure, and was forcibly pulled out from the core of his Dantian by the Qi chains!

It floated in front of Yao Delong, radiating a vast yet slightly chaotic Five Elements aura, and the connection between it and Yao Delong's main body became extremely weak!

"Now is the time!" Yao Delong endured the severe pain and dizziness, his Divine Thought piercing into the Void Realm like an arrow released from a bow!

"Law of Space, open!" He let out a low shout, formed hand seals with both hands, and violently tore at the space in front of him!

Rrrrip—! A gap in the Void Realm, a zhang wide, with Chaos Qi rippling at the edges and a pitch-black, deep interior that seemed to connect to the most primal source of the Universe, was forcibly torn open!

Violent spatial turbulence surged out from within, but it was forcibly suppressed by Yao Delong's powerful Divine Thought!

"Go!" He manipulated the Qi chains wrapping around the dao foundation with his mind, sending it, along with the independent Primordial Spirit imprint flickering with a faint spiritual light in his Sea of Consciousness, into the deep and terrifying gap in the Void Realm!

As soon as the sphere of light, which carried his Five Elements Origin and Primordial Spirit imprint, entered the Chaos Void Realm, it was as if a seed had fallen into the most fertile soil!

Hum! Deep within the Void Realm, the infinite, complex, yet creation-filled Chaos Origin energy, as if pulled by some supreme Law, gathered madly toward the sphere of light!

The sphere of light, like a greedy embryo, began to autonomously and rapidly absorb, transform, and reshape!

A blurry "humanoid" silhouette, composed of pure energy, began to flicker in and out of existence at the center of the sphere of light!

A powerful life aura and Five Elements dao rhyme began to permeate that chaotic space!

Seeing this scene with his own eyes and feeling the fluctuations within that Void Realm embryo—which were of the same source as him yet nurturing an independent life—the heavy stone in Yao Delong's heart finally crashed to the ground!

"It's done!" He exhaled a long, turbid breath, filled with endless exhaustion, and collapsed onto the jade meditation cushion as if completely drained.

"Next... it just needs time... At this speed, in about a month... this Clone, which contains my Five Elements Origin, will be able to truly emerge!"

He calculated, his eyes filled with anticipation. Once this Clone was fully nurtured, it would be a genuine Void Refining Early Stage combatant!

Furthermore, possessing independent consciousness meant he effectively gained an extra life and a super fighter!

Weakness! Extreme weakness! Having consecutively experienced the pain of a split Soul, the tribulation of stripping his Foundation, and the massive consumption of opening the Void Realm, Yao Delong felt as if all his strength had been drained, making it difficult to even move a finger.

With trembling hands, he took out another precious Medicinal Pill for recovering Qi and stuffed it into his mouth, barely managing to circulate his remaining weak strength to refine it.

For six consecutive days, Yao Delong remained immersed in deep seclusion to recover.

During this period, the medicinal power of the great void spirit nurturing pill continued to take effect, nourishing his Primordial Spirit after the Soul-splitting.

The Medicinal Pill for recovering Qi also provided critical support.

On the sixth day, when the first ray of morning sunlight spilled through the Immortal Cave Restriction, Yao Delong slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, although there was still a trace of fatigue, the luster of his Primordial Spirit had recovered to the strength it had before the imprint was stripped; even, due to the Soul-splitting and reshaping, it faintly possessed an indescribable resilience!

The Qi in his Dantian had also recovered by sixty or seventy percent, and his Realm was thoroughly stabilized at the Void Refining Early Stage!

"Thanks to the great void spirit nurturing pill... otherwise, it would have been impossible to recover to this degree without at least half a year," he sighed in his heart, the effects of an eighth-grade peak Medicinal Pill were truly Heaven-Defying.

After recovering, a beautiful and refined figure naturally appeared in his mind—Luo Tianying.

"I wonder how Ying'er is doing with cultivating this technique..." he muttered to himself.

When they parted ways in the Xuan Ye Dynasty, Luo Tianying had already advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and was also cultivating the "Dual Source Dao Derivation True Scripture".

With her talent and Foundation, she should have already completed the differentiation of her Origin by now, right?

Thinking of this, Yao Delong stood up and pushed open the heavy stone door of the quiet room.

In the small courtyard outside the Immortal Cave, the sunlight was just right.

A beautiful figure dressed in pale blue robes, with a fresh and lively aura, radiating fluctuations of the Early Nascent Soul Stage, was none other than Luo Yan, who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage not long ago.

At this moment, she was chatting under a flower trellis with a tall, hot-bodied silver dragon girl—Qiong Shuang—who had cascading silver hair, shockingly full breasts, and a face that still carried a hint of childishness.

Seeing Yao Delong walk out, Luo Yan immediately stood up with pleasant surprise, hurried over, and asked with concern: "Husband! You have finally emerged from seclusion! Did this seclusion go smoothly? Your aura seems to have some fluctuations..."

She keenly noticed that although Yao Delong's spirit was fine, his aura was not as thick as it was before the seclusion.

Yao Delong laughed, reached out to wrap his arms around Luo Yan's slender yet elastic waist, and pulled her into his embrace. His other hand naturally climbed onto those full, perky peaks, kneading them through the thin clothing:

"Haha, don't worry! your husband is doing just fine! The Clone secret technique is complete, just waiting for time! As for you, Yan'er, having just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, is your Foundation stable? Come, let your husband check it thoroughly!" He said this with deliberate seriousness.

"Ah!" Caught off guard by his public groping, Luo Yan's pretty face turned beet red instantly. She let out a soft cry, subconsciously slapped away his mischievous hand, glared at him reproachfully, and whispered: "Husband! Qiong Shuang is still here..."

Only then did Yao Delong remember there was a little spectator nearby.

He saw that the girl Qiong Shuang was currently covering her eyes tightly with her pair of snow-white little hands, but the gaps between her fingers were wide open. Her pair of silver dragon eyes, filled with curiosity and excitement, were staring through the huge gaps, unblinking and with great relish, at the two's intimate actions! That look was flashing with the light of gossip!

"Ahem!" Yao Delong's old face flushed slightly, and pretending to be serious, he straightened his face and scolded Qiong Shuang: "What are you looking at! Little brats shouldn't meddle in adult matters! Go off and play!"
