75: Early Daoist period, Golden Heart

Boom!

In the early morning, a loud roar echoed.

Terrifying power erupted from Xie Weilou's body.

In the large courtyard, countless ice and snow melted, many trees were shattered, and the power blockade set up by Xie Bian was instantly broken.

“......”

Xie Weilou opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them. With a casual wave of his hand, the large trees in the courtyard instantly turned to dust.

“Early Dao Repository Realm.”

A smile appeared on Xie Weilou's face. In just one night, relying on the Nirvana Sutra and the Six Paths Divine Treasure Pill, he successfully elevated his cultivation to the Dao Repository Realm.

He reined in the aura emanating from his body and introspected his heart.

His originally blood-red heart had now turned golden, like a blazing sun, its golden light dazzling and indestructible, containing vast power.

Once the Heart Divine Treasure is forged, it signifies a surge in bloodline power. In combat, it becomes even more extraordinary, allowing for the use of terrifying strength.

The heart is actually a very fragile area. If an ordinary person is shot through the heart with an arrow, they will surely die. But for cultivators, damage to the heart does not necessarily mean immediate demise.

Especially for Dao Repository Realm cultivators, the heart, once forged, becomes even more powerful and possesses restorative abilities. As long as the heart is not utterly destroyed, it can be repaired.

Forging the Heart Divine Treasure to its extreme can make the heart as hard as steel, indestructible.

Thus, a fragile area is no longer fragile, and beyond the heart, there are also spirit bones that can resist some attacks.

Relatively speaking, Yan Wugou was indeed not simple. His body was pierced, and his heart was damaged, yet he could recover quickly. This was clearly abnormal.

“Golden…”

Xie Weilou introspected his heart, a peculiar look appearing in his eyes.

In his understanding, the forging of the heart would not cause it to change color, yet his own heart had turned golden, which was very strange.

Perhaps it was due to his cultivation of the Nirvana Sutra; the golden heart was clearly more solid and more powerful.

The Heart Divine Treasure governs vital energy and bloodlines. After it was forged well, his vital energy and bloodlines were also more powerful than those of ordinary cultivators.

Creak!

The door of the opposite pavilion opened, and Xie Bian walked out. He ignored the mess in the courtyard and instead stared intently at Xie Weilou, a hint of peculiarity deep in his eyes.

With his cultivation, the power of his divine soul could instantly see through the person in front of him, leaving them with no secrets whatsoever.

But what was strange was that his divine soul was now unable to see through Xie Weilou's body, clearly being resisted by a peculiar power.

This situation was similar to before; he could not directly see through Xie Weilou's cultivation, nor could he easily discern the state of his body.

This kid must be hiding some special treasure on him!

However, this was not a question Xie Bian should ask.

“Kid, how do you feel after entering the Dao Repository Realm?”

Xie Bian asked with a smile.

Xie Weilou stood up, saying with a broad smile, “I feel like I could kill ten people of the same rank with one punch…”

For him, fighting cultivators of the same rank was easy. Even against someone a realm above him, he had no fear whatsoever.

Xie Bian smiled faintly, “Your vital energy is abundant, kid, and the forging of your Heart Divine Treasure must be more extraordinary than I imagined. Fighting those of the same rank is no difficulty for you.”

He continued, “In the Dao Repository Realm, one forges the Divine Treasure. In this realm, you must forge the Divine Treasure to its extreme. Only then will the subsequent Mystic Form Realm also be more extraordinary.”

Xie Weilou rubbed his hands lightly, “I also want to forge it to its extreme, but alas, I don't have too many resources!”

Xie Bian looked at Xie Weilou speechlessly, “You want resources? Go find them yourself. Your Third Uncle is just an old scoundrel, all alone, and doesn't have much.”

“Uh…”

Xie Weilou was speechless.

“Go back!”

Xie Bian waved his hand lightly and walked back into the pavilion.

“Alright!”

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and turned to leave the courtyard.

——

Tianquan Division.

Over thirty people gathered in the Second Hall, all dressed and ready to depart.

Lin Qinghuang glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, “Zhang Long, you all go first. Arrive at Qiyin City ahead of time and investigate the situation there.”

The Tianyin Hall was located in Qiyin City, carrying out spirit bone transplantation. It was impossible for the Lord of Qiyin City to be completely unaware, yet no news had come out, which was clearly abnormal.

Information about the Lord of Qiyin City had not been extracted from Lan Instructor's memory, so someone needed to investigate.

“Understood!”

Zhang Long bowed.

“Go!”

He waved his hand vigorously, then led the others out of the Second Hall.

Xie Weilou walked over with his hands behind his back. He looked at Lin Qinghuang with a tired expression, “Lin Qinghuang, good morning.”

Lin Qinghuang glanced at Xie Weilou, “Didn't sleep well last night?”

“With beauties on both sides, I certainly slept very well.”

Xie Weilou said with a smile.

A look of disdain appeared on Lin Qinghuang's face. She bothered no longer with Xie Weilou and walked directly outside.

Outside the hall.

A Captian led over a Snow Treading Spirit Horse.

Lin Qinghuang swung herself onto the horse, about to leave.

“Wait a moment!”

Xie Weilou quickly caught up.

“What is it?”

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou said helplessly, “Aren't you taking me?”

Lin Qinghuang looked at the Captian beside her, “Bring another Spirit Horse.”

Xie Weilou waved his hand, “No need! I don't dare ride this thing alone, otherwise, what if I fall off and get killed? I'd rather ride one Spirit Horse with Lin Qinghuang.”

“No!”

Lin Qinghuang immediately spoke.

“I understand! When a woman says no, it means yes.”

Xie Weilou stepped forward and directly swung himself onto the horse's back.

“You…”

Lin Qinghuang's expression froze. She said angrily, “Don't put your hands where they don't belong.”

“Got it, do you take This Young Master for that kind of shameless scoundrel?”

Xie Weilou said helplessly.

“Hmph!”

Lin Qinghuang snorted coldly, lightly flicked the reins, and the Snow Treading Spirit Horse flapped its wings, instantly soaring towards the sky.

Xie Weilou's body tilted backward, almost falling off. He immediately reached out and directly wrapped his arms around Lin Qinghuang's waist, feeling soft and warm to the touch.

“Xie Weilou, you… let go…”

Lin Qinghuang's body trembled, and she quickly spoke.

Xie Weilou said shamelessly, “It's too high, I'm afraid you'll fall, so I have to hold you to protect you! You should be happy.”

“Shameless scoundrel!”

Lin Qinghuang said, feeling a bit exasperated. She really wanted to throw this guy off. She had never seen such a brazen man.

“A bit tired, let me lean on you.”

Xie Weilou shamelessly pressed his face against Lin Qinghuang's back.

“......”

Lin Qinghuang gritted her silver teeth, holding back from erupting, as the Snow Treading Spirit Horse soared into the high heavens.

“He's already getting to eat? This Young Master, a role model for our generation!”

The Captian below exclaimed, a look of admiration in his eyes.

Hugging Commander Lin's waist, and even wanting to lean on her—only Xie Weilou would dare to do that!
