225: Chapter 225 Xuan Zhixue's Changes, Entering the Heavenly Sword Domain

"Alright, we'll set off right now!"

Li Junze said excitedly.

Yue Yao followed behind Li Junze, her fair face flushed red, her phoenix eyes full of affection as she stared intently at the back of the man before her.

"I didn't expect Li Lang would actually... under these circumstances..."

"Really, he didn't consider my feelings at all..."

Yue Yao absentmindedly caressed the spot where Li Junze had just kissed her, a sweet smile spreading across the corners of her mouth.

But at the thought of Li Junze's words just now—that going to the Rakshasa Flood Dragon Clan was to scheme against his enemy—her eyes instantly turned ice-cold.

"Anyone who dares to be Li Lang's enemy, I, Yue Yao, will surely kill them!"

"This source heaven dao sword can only belong to my Li Lang!"

...

On the other side, amidst a range of mountains that looked like a cluster of broken swords from afar, with Sword Qi crisscrossing everywhere, a young man in white sat cross-legged atop one of the peaks.

Within this mountain range, Sword Qi surged continuously into his body.

"My Sword Body... has finally awakened again."

The white-clothed youth slowly opened a pair of eyes as sharp as a hawk's and gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

His entire being was like an unsheathed precious sword, his whole body brimming with the sharpness of a blade.

On his forehead, a pure white petal rune shone brightly, both enchanting and eerie.

Clearly, he was a Prodigy from Heavenly God Mountain!!

Dugu Yin looked up at the firmament, where the source heaven dao sword hung high in the sky, like another eternal sun, yet even more dazzling than the sun itself.

"The source heaven dao sword has appeared of its own accord? Very well, let us see just how far my Way of the Sword has progressed."

Dugu Yin murmured to himself, his entire body like a soaring cannonball as he charged toward the source heaven dao sword in the sky.

...

The spontaneous appearance of the source heaven dao sword meant the entire Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury was no longer peaceful.

Countless forces rushed toward the location of the source heaven dao sword, all wanting to seize it.

"Lin Ran, the area where the source heaven dao sword is located is divided into Five Zones, corresponding to 10,000, 30,000, 50,000, 70,000, and 90,000 feet of the dao tree. The world calls this the Heavenly Sword Domain!"

Li Huayin said excitedly as she looked at the source heaven dao sword before her.

"As the saying goes, however high the Dao is, that is how high the world is! Within the Domain surrounding the source heaven dao sword, spiritual energy and the power of the Physical Body will be sealed; only the Dao is eternal!"

"In other words, to compete for the source heaven dao sword, one can only rely on the Dao they have comprehended!"

Hearing this, Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh.

To compete for the source heaven dao sword, one could only rely on the Dao they had comprehended?

Then with his 100,000-foot dao tree, wouldn't he be invincible in the world?!

"Master!"

At that moment, a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts.

Lin Ran turned to look and saw Xuan Zhixue sweeping toward him at high speed from afar, arriving before his eyes in the next second.

Since entering the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury, things had gone smoothly for Xuan Zhixue, and she had obtained many opportunities, both large and small, along the way.

Now that the source heaven dao sword had appeared, she naturally came to strive for it, and then she ran into Lin Ran.

Seeing Xuan Zhixue look like she wanted to throw herself into his arms yet appearing somewhat hesitant, Lin Ran smiled and reached out to pull her into his embrace.

"Zhixue, has anyone bullied you in this Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury?"

Hearing Lin Ran's words of concern, Xuan Zhixue felt a sweetness in her heart.

"No one bullied me, but while I was looking for opportunities, some members of the Yao Race chased me."

"I later heard that the background of that Yao Race elder was not small; they seem to be one of the Five Great Overlord Forces in the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury."

"Young Master, I provoked this Yao Race... you won't blame me, will you?"

Xuan Zhixue looked up at Lin Ran with trepidation.

"Why do you think I would blame you? Never mind offending one overlord force, what does it matter even if you offend all five?"

"As long as it's an Opportunity you've set your sights on, feel free to take it. If something happens, your husband will naturally block it for you."

Lin Ran smiled and rubbed the top of Xuan Zhixue's head.

"Master..."

Deeply moved, Xuan Zhixue hugged Lin Ran tightly, her heart surging with emotion.

She looked at Lin Ran with eyes full of affection, as if she wanted to carve his face deep into her heart.

From being forced into slavery at the beginning to being completely willing now, the massive difference was not just due to the influence of the dao heart demon seed; Lin Ran's personal charisma and the charm of his presence also played a major role.

She could now completely guarantee that she loved Lin Ran, not because of the dao heart demon seed, but because she truly fell in love with him through developing feelings over time and developing feelings through 'intimacy.'

The longer she spent with Lin Ran, the more she wanted to have him and explore him.

And the more she explored, the more she became addicted to the pleasure.

It was like a dead end where one was destined to sink.

But Xuan Zhixue was now walking into this fatal trap of her own free will.

[Ding! Detected that Xuan Zhixue's favorability has increased by 10 points!]

[Reward: 17,000 destiny points, Innate Pure Yang has broken through to the Ninth Turn!]

[Current Xuan Zhixue favorability: 65!]

Hearing the System's notification in his ear, a meaningful smile curled on Lin Ran's lips.

As expected, as long as Xuan Zhixue experienced a daily routine consisting more of 'intimacy' than the ordinary, combined with the subtle influence of the dao heart demon seed, raising her favorability was not a problem at all!

"Now that my Innate Pure Yang has finally broken through to the Ninth Turn, I can begin to work on cultivating the Innate Pure Yang Immortal Body!"

Lin Ran thought to himself.

The Innate Pure Yang Immortal Body was a top-tier immortal body, second only to the Great Dao Immortal Body.

If he could successfully Cultivate the Innate Pure Yang Immortal Body, his combat power would surely soar!

"Let's go, we're entering the source heaven dao sword's Domain as well!"

Seeing the surrounding young Prodigies and Yao Race forces impatiently entering the source heaven dao sword's Domain, Lin Ran waved his hand and led the group inside.

The source heaven dao sword was indeed the ultimate Opportunity in the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury; there was a reason why no one had been able to obtain it for so many years.

As soon as Lin Ran stepped into the Heavenly Sword Domain, a heavy Dao pressure weighed down on him, sealing his spiritual energy and physical strength. Only the dao tree within him could resist this Dao pressure.

"However high the Dao is, that is how high the world is?"

"I'm just afraid this Domain won't be able to withstand my Dao!"

Lin Ran looked at the source heaven dao sword before him and chuckled in his heart.

Just as he was about to move forward, countless pressures from behind struck toward him all at once.

These pressures were targeted, and their purpose was to suppress him!

Lin Ran turned around abruptly and found a dense crowd of Yao Race figures appearing behind him, staring at him with murderous intent.

"Are you Lin Ran? The Dragon Commander of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty?!"

"This deity asks you, was it you who killed my son?!"

A middle-aged man wearing a Purple-gold Dragon Robe, his body covered in Flood Dragon Scales and trailing a long Dragon Tail, spoke with eyes nearly bursting with rage and an air of natural authority.
