262: Born sacred, triple the combat power!

"Alright."

Lu Yuan retracted the flames and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Yaochi Holy Mother slowly opened her eyes, but she was in no hurry to get up. Instead, she raised her hand, and a brand-new Flowing Cloud Immortal Dress appeared out of thin air, instantly dressing her neatly.

She regained her usual nobility and dignity, but there was an indescribable charm in her eyes as they flickered.

"Fellow Daoist Lu... have you seen enough?" She looked at Lu Yuan with a half-smile, her tone carrying a hint of teasing.

Lu Yuan was taken aback, then smiled frankly: "The Holy Mother is peerless and rare in this world. Naturally, Lu could never see enough."

These slightly flirtatious words actually caused a blush to rise on the Yaochi Holy Mother's cheeks once more.

She gave a light huff and changed the subject: "Thank you for saving me this time, Fellow Daoist. However, those Void Immortal old monsters at the auction are not to be trifled with."

Especially that Yellow Springs Saint Ancestor, who is extremely vindictive.

You made him lose Face in public and you possess the incomplete map of kunxu; he will definitely not let this go."

"It's fine. Soldiers will be blocked by generals, and water will be covered by earth," Lu Yuan said with a calm expression, not taking those threats to heart.

"Although Fellow Daoist is powerful, open attacks are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against," the Yaochi Holy Mother said seriously. "In any case, my injuries have just begun to heal, and I need a few days of recuperation."

I might as well stay here at the Qingyun Dao Sect for a while. If a Void Immortal truly comes to attack, I can lend you a hand."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart stirred.

Although he did not fear those Void Immortals, having a powerful ally like the Yaochi Holy Mother stationed here would indeed save a lot of trouble and help better protect the Sect.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble the Holy Mother then."

Lu Yuan called Su Yueli over: "Yue Li, take the Holy Mother to the best Immortal Cave on the Qingyun Main Peak to rest. Treat her well, and do not be negligent."

"Yes, Husband," Su Yueli replied obediently and led the Yaochi Holy Mother away... After seeing the two women off, Lu Yuan did not rest but began to take stock of his gains from the auction.

First was the qilin immortal medicine seedling sealed within the Divine Source Stone.

"Adding the mature one returned by the System, I now have two Qilin Medicines in my hands."

Lu Yuan went to the back mountain Forbidden Ground, took out the Divine Source Stone, and pointed a finger to shatter the stone skin.

*Crack.*

A dense purple vitality erupted.

A palm-sized purple grass shaped like a Qilin flew out, attempting to flee.

"Freeze."

Lu Yuan pointed casually, freezing it in mid-air, then carefully planted it on the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, making it a neighbor to the ancient immortal peach tree seedling.

With the nourishment of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, the seedling soon calmed down, greedily absorbing nutrients, its leaves spreading out and emitting bursts of auspicious Qi.

After completing all this, Lu Yuan called Qin Mengyao over.

"Husband."

Qin Mengyao stepped into the main hall, her belly already slightly protruding.

As her pregnancy progressed, the maternal glow on her became more intense, making her whole person look gentle and holy.

"This is for you."

Lu Yuan flipped his palm, and the mature qilin immortal medicine returned by the System appeared in his hand.

This divine medicine was purple-gold throughout, shaped like a true Qilin Divine Beast. Every leaf was imprinted with natural Dao patterns, and the medicinal fragrance it emitted almost turned into a physical purple mist.

"qilin immortal medicine?!" Qin Mengyao cried out in surprise. "And it's... a mature one?"

"Correct."

Lu Yuan nodded: "The medicinal power of this medicine is overbearing; even a Mahayana Stage Cultivator might not be able to fully withstand it."

Sit down. I will help you refine it, guiding the medicinal power into your body to perform Foundation Establishment for the child in your womb."

Qin Mengyao sat down cross-legged as instructed.

Lu Yuan turned the divine medicine into a globule of purple-gold medicinal liquid and slowly sent it into Qin Mengyao's mouth. At the same time, he placed both hands on her back, Chaos Qi flooding in to carefully protect her Meridians and the fetus.

*Boom!*

As the medicinal power entered her body, Qin Mengyao felt as if she had swallowed a sun.

That massive energy surged within her, but under Lu Yuan's guidance, it became incredibly docile, like a trickling stream, slowly permeating her entire body and finally gathering at her lower abdomen.

As the medicinal power was absorbed, Qin Mengyao's aura began to climb steadily.

Her cultivation, originally at the Late Stage of Body Integration, instantly broke through to the Integration Peak, just a step away from the Great Ascension Stage.

What was even more surprising was the fetus in her womb.

In Lu Yuan's Divine Sense perception, that small life, not yet fully formed, was actually emitting the aura fluctuations of a Cultivator!

Early Stage Foundation Establishment... Middle Stage Foundation Establishment... Late Stage Foundation Establishment!

This child hadn't even been born yet, but its cultivation had already surpassed ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators and was still growing!

"Born divine, a natural Supreme."

Lu Yuan withdrew his hands, his eyes full of gratification and expectation.

This child was destined to become a Supreme existence that would suppress an era... After settling Qin Mengyao, Lu Yuan did not stop.

He went to the back mountain again and sat cross-legged under the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

"Jie Character Secret."

Lu Yuan took out the remnant volume of scripture he had bid three hundred million saint-grade spirit stones for.

This secret technique was one of the Nine Secrets. Even if it was just a fragment, it contained extremely profound Laws of Battle.

Once triggered, it could instantly increase one's combat power several times over; it was a divine skill for killing enemies across cultivation levels.

"Time, accelerate."

With a thought from Lu Yuan, golden wheels of Time Laws emerged behind him.

*Buzz buzz buzz—*

The wheels of time spun rapidly, and the flow of time around him was instantly accelerated by hundreds of times.

To the outside world, Lu Yuan had only sat quietly for a moment.

But within the time Domain, he had already been comprehending for several months.

The terrifying Comprehension Ability of the Innate Dao Body was displayed to its fullest at this moment.

Those obscure and difficult ancient runes seemed to turn into dancing spirits in Lu Yuan's eyes, actively showing him the mysteries within.

Half a day later.

Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a flash of realization crossing them.

"Jie Character Secret, complete!"

He gave a light shout, and the magic power in his body circulated according to a mysterious trajectory.

*Boom!*

A violent surge of power instantly erupted from within him.

His aura surged wildly at this moment, directly crossing the limit of Mahayana Peak and touching that ethereal Void Immortal realm.

Triple combat power!

"Although it's only triple, for the current me, it's enough."

Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. With his current foundation, if he triggered the Jie Character Secret, even if he faced a Void Immortal Peak old monster, he would be confident in suppressing them without relying on any external force!

These three hundred million Spirit Stones were well spent!

...After finishing his cultivation, Lu Yuan did not leave his seclusion. Instead, his figure flashed, and he directly entered the portable Immortal Cave treasure—the Eternal Night Demon Palace.

In the depths of the Demon Palace, a massive Artifact Refining Cauldron stood tall.

Lu Yuan waved his large sleeve.

*Clatter—*

One thousand and one black iron fragments emitting an ancient aura fell into the Cauldron like rain.

Each of these fragments contained true Immortal Dao Laws.

Though they were fragmented, mottled, and even somewhat chaotic, it was after all the power of an 'Immortal,' far beyond what ordinary mortal flames could melt.
