Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 717 - 715 Innate Empty Spirit, Striving for Longevity!
717: Chapter 715: Innate Empty Spirit, Striving for Longevity!
717 -715: Innate Empty Spirit, Striving for Longevity!
“The one blessed by the gods is you, huh!”
Xiao Yi’s mouth curved slightly upwards, his face brimming with a radiant smile.
Little Lin was startled and looked at Xiao Yi, puzzled.
Xiao Yi pointed at the crystal ball in front of him and said with a smile, “Do you know what’s stored inside this crystal ball?
Inside, it contains a Ninth Grade Longevity Spirit…”
Hiss!
Little Lin drew in a sharp breath.
He looked at the crystal ball inside the box with disbelief.
A Ninth Grade Longevity Spirit!
This was the treasured goal that countless experts at Nirvana Peak longed for but could never reach.
He never imagined that such a treasure would appear in a den of bandits.
Xiao Yi was also somewhat emotional…
If they hadn’t met Chen Jing, they wouldn’t have provoked Black Hawk Stronghold and wouldn’t have come to this place.
Without the encounter with Black Hawk Stronghold, how could they have found the Dao Heart Seed Demon Skill and this crystal ball that held a Ninth Grade Longevity Spirit?
What the two of them didn’t know was…
Both the crystal ball and the Dao Heart Seed Demon Skill were accidental findings by Hei Yu, the deputy of Black Hawk Stronghold, while on a mission with the Imperial Guards, just that he had already entered the Longevity Secret Realm.
He couldn’t refine the Ninth Grade Longevity Spirit unless he made a breakthrough to Earthly Honor, and he also worried that carrying it with him would lead to its discovery by the Imperial Guards; hence, it had been hidden within the Black Hawk Stronghold.
He planned to return to retrieve and refine the Ninth Grade Longevity Spirit upon his breakthrough to the Earth Venerate Realm in the future.
All along.
Because of Hei Yu’s identity as head of the Imperial Guards, Black Hawk Stronghold never provoked experts above the Longevity Realm and thus lived in peace.
But this time…
They had provoked Xiao Yi.
Gurgle!
Little Lin swallowed hard, never expecting to encounter a Ninth Grade Longevity Spirit quite like this.
Little Lin’s eyes shone brightly.
Once he entered the Longevity Secret Realm, he could transform into human form.
His strength would also improve further.
But…
Little Lin hesitated for a moment, shook his head, resisting the enormous temptation, and said solemnly, “Boss, I don’t want this Longevity Spirit.
You should keep it!”
He was very aware that Xiao Yi needed to gather Longevity Spirits of all attributes to enter the Longevity Secret Realm.
Only then could he unite all the paths and step into the Longevity Secret Realm.
It meant that Xiao Yi needed to gather seven Ninth Grade Longevity Spirits of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and yin and yang!
By keeping this metal-attributed Longevity Spirit, Xiao Yi would only need to collect six more Ninth Grade Longevity Spirits.
How could Xiao Yi not know what Little Lin was thinking?
His mouth curved upwards, and he ruffled his head, saying with a laugh, “Silly kid, if this was any other attribute of Longevity Spirit, I would definitely keep it for myself.
But this happens to be a metal-attributed Longevity Spirit.
As soon as you refine it, you will be able to enter the Longevity Secret Realm.
Once you’re in the Longevity Secret Realm, your strength will greatly increase.
Then, with your help, I’ll be able to find the Longevity Spirits of all attributes even faster, right?”
Little Lin was taken aback, frowning, “But…”
“There are no ‘buts’!”
Xiao Yi slapped Little Lin’s head lightly and said, “If you still consider me your boss, just listen to me!”
Little Lin depended on him for survival, and they were brothers who had gone through life and death together.
With benefits at hand, Xiao Yi was naturally not stingy.
With this thought.
Little Lin nodded vigorously, his amber-like eyes swimming with tears, and said in a deep voice, “Boss, I understand!”
“Good!”
Xiao Yi nodded, took out the Longevity Cauldron, and said, “I’ll use the Longevity Cauldron to help you refine this Longevity Spirit.
It’s also a good chance to see what you will look like after your transformation.
Will you also have blonde hair and blue eyes, haha…”
“Hehe, boss, just you wait!
When I transform, I’ll definitely give you a surprise!” Little Lin said with a wide grin.
Immediately, he bit the crystal ball to pieces.
Whoosh!
A spirit of longevity surged towards the heavens.
Little Lin roared and opened its gaping maw, swallowing it in one gulp.
Boom!
As soon as the spirit of longevity entered its body, it immediately erupted in an incomparably brilliant light.
For a moment,
Splendid, colorful rays spewed within its body, the unparalleled brilliance filling the entire treasury.
Under the impact of the light, Little Lin’s body started to show fierce cracks.
As if it was about to explode.
Blood, along with the fractures, surfaced on its body.
Thunderous roars, akin to thunder, deafened ears and echoed between heaven and earth.
“Roar…”
Little Lin’s body tensed, its eyes bulging with rage, blood vessels filled its eyes in an instant.
Amidst the spread of blood vessels,
Little Lin let out a series of earth-shattering roars; sharp fangs and a blood-red tongue constantly lashing out of its gaping maw, its body shaking violently.
The spirit of longevity was purifying the impurities within its body, constantly tempering and strengthening its physique, as though undergoing a thousand refinements of steel, only through endless tribulations could it truly grow.
And even transform!
The spirit of longevity was meant to help beings self-purify and strengthen.
Only by washing off the mundane could one reach the state of innate purity.
This was a process of returning from the acquired to the innate…
Legend has it…
In ancient times, the first creatures born between heaven and earth were all innate beings, such beings didn’t need the spirit of longevity to break through to the Longevity Secret Realm.
To share a lifespan with the heavens, to exist as long as the earth.
Forever in the world, immortal and indestructible!
However, with the continuous expansion of various races, generation by generation grew weaker, their bloodlines became increasingly impure.
Over time,
The bloodlines of most innate beings slowly degenerated to acquired beings.
Only some rare and precious life forms, such as true dragon descendants and phoenix progeny…
These beings could continue to maintain the posture of innate life forms, the rest of the numerous creatures, 99.999% were acquired beings, who, if they wished to transform into the Longevity Secret Realm, had to go through the purification of the spirit of longevity.
It was through this process of returning from the acquired to the innate that one could grasp the power of heaven and earth and achieve the state of longevity!
Boom!
Little Lin was also of an exotic bloodline, and its bloodline rank was not low.
Although it didn’t match innate beings, it was still an outstanding one among the acquired beings.
Under the purification of the spirit of longevity, its body had completely shed its mortal shell, returning to the state of innate purity.
At this moment…
Little Lin felt an extremely intimate connection with the Dao between heaven and earth.
What was once unclear now gradually became visible in its eyes.
Within the Heavenly Dao river…
Little Lin saw a shining golden river, which represented the Dao of gold.
With a swish, it turned into a golden bridge and with a bang, plunged into Little Lin’s body.
It shuddered, beginning to refine the Dao of gold, forming a golden cocoon of light that enshrouded its body.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi put away the Longevity Tripod, his lips curving slightly: “Just waiting for it to break out of its cocoon, Little Lin will be in the Longevity Secret Realm.
Just not sure what it will transform into…”
He had been looking forward to Little Lin’s transformation into human form for a long time.
But at this moment, Xiao Yi didn’t know…
Far away in the Imperial capital, within the Imperial Guards’ camp, Hei Yu stepped out of the commander’s hall, exhaling a long breath of turbid air, his eyes flashing alternately with cold light: “I hope it’s not too late…”
Swish!
With one hand, he tore the void in front of him…
PS: I’m truly sorry.
Last night, my daughter fell out of bed while sleeping and wouldn’t stop crying; that’s why there was only one chapter updated.
I’ll update another today, and from tomorrow, I’ll try to update during the day.
Being a parent is not easy; I hope fellow brothers and sisters can understand!
