Unsealing the Seal

(4000 words)

"Xie'er, protect the Snake Woman, but don't make it too obvious. Just reduce the damage from the heat poison to her."

"Okay!" Xie'er nodded hurriedly. "Brother Yi Yun, what are you going to do? Break through the seal of the Yuan Qi?"

Although Yi Yun has now awakened, he is completely unable to move, as his meridians and dantian have been sealed off by the Red-robed Boy's vital energy.

Breaking this seal is not an easy task to begin with. Even if there is a way to break it, it requires vital energy and primordial energy. However, with vital energy sealed, the energy in the dantian cannot be mobilized at all, thus creating a vicious cycle.

Yi Yun's time is very limited; if he can't even move his body, then he can't do anything.

"Xie'er, do you see that bright red fruit floating in the cauldron outside? That's a Dragon Blood Fruit. I can't move right now, so bring it to me and feed it to me!!"

He must first take control of his body, and then harness the power of the Purple Crystal!

Purple Crystal and Ling Xie'er were beings that even the Myriad Gods Ancestor could not have foreseen.

"Okay, Brother Yi Yun, you wait here."

Ling Xie'er glanced up and saw the Dragon Blood Fruit dancing in the starlight flames. It was like a small red sun, burning fiercely, but no matter how intense the flames were, they could not burn through its skin.

"That's it!"

Ling Xie'er was very fond of this beautiful fruit. She separated a small flame from the Evil God's Fire Seed and flew over to sweep the fruit away.

Then, Ling Xie'er glanced at the Snake Woman again. The Snake Woman was struggling bitterly. Ling Xie'er flicked her finger, and another small black flame flew out and entered the Snake Woman's dantian.

The Snake Woman cried out in surprise. She felt something fly into her body, but she had no idea what it was.

What happened?

The Snake Woman opened her eyes in pain and looked around blankly.

However, what she saw stunned her. She actually saw a little girl floating in the air next to Yi Yun. The little girl had bright eyes and white teeth and looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old. She was extremely cute.

She was barefoot, her toes glistening like pearls, yet these delicate little feet nimbly walked through the terrifying flames without being burned at all.

Is this... just my eyes playing tricks on me?

The Snake Woman was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Where did this little girl come from? How could she be like a fire spirit, completely ignoring the scorching Star Fire?

"Don't be surprised, young lady. My name is Ling Xie'er. I've always followed Brother Yi Yun, but we've never met before. I've planted a little flame inside you. Don't be nervous; this little flame will make you feel much better."

Ling Xie'er said with a grin. At the same time, within the Snake Woman's body, the small flame of the Evil God's Fire Seed spread out, and a warm and gentle power flowed throughout the Snake Woman's body along her meridians.

What's truly amazing is that the Star Fire that boiled the Snake Woman's blood inside her body was completely devoured when it encountered this inconspicuous little flame!

"This..."

The Snake Woman was stunned. What kind of fire was that?

The excruciating burning sensation disappeared, replaced by a warm feeling, as if sitting by a fireplace.

Compared to the sweltering heat of the previous ordeal, this feeling was like heaven.

How is this little girl so amazing?

She just said she's always been with Yi Yun, calling him "Yi Yun brother." Yi Yun... he actually... has such an amazing sister?!

"Feeling much better, Miss?" Ling Xie'er smiled happily. Noticing the Snake Woman's incredibly surprised and incredulous look, Ling Xie'er smiled shyly and said, "I've played with fire since I was little, so I have some experience with it."

When it comes to playing with fire, that's Ling Xie'er's specialty!

But the words "playing with fire" left the Snake Woman speechless. This was far more than just playing with fire!

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I have things to do."

Ling Xie'er held the Dragon Blood Fruit in both hands. At this moment, Yi Yun still appeared to be unconscious with his eyes closed. Although his Spiritual Sense had awakened, he could not control his body and could not even open his eyes.

Ling Xie'er pried open Yi Yun's mouth. This bright red fruit was the size of a man's fist. Xie'er had to hold it with both hands, but she found that she couldn't stuff it into Yi Yun's mouth at all.

Ling Xie'er was a little troubled. After thinking for a moment, she bit open the Dragon Blood Fruit with her teeth and then put it to Yi Yun's mouth.

This Dragon Blood Fruit is also wondrous. Although it is extremely slow to refine its essence with the Star Flame, it can be easily broken with a bite of your teeth. Moreover, the Dragon Blood Fruit is full of bright red and fragrant juice that melts in your mouth.

Ling Xie'er couldn't resist eating a small piece herself. It was simply the most delicious fruit in the world, leaving a fragrant aftertaste.

Of course, this is only true for Ling Xie'er. She herself is a divine object of heaven and earth, her body formed from the Evil God's Fire Seed. The Evil God's Fire Seed is many times more powerful than the Star Fire, so refining a little Dragon Blood Fruit is naturally no problem for her.

If anyone else were to eat the Dragon Blood Fruit like this, it would be tantamount to ingesting a deadly poison, and they would surely explode and die.

The bright red juice of the Dragon Blood Fruit flowed into Yi Yun's mouth, slid down his throat, and entered his stomach.

Seeing that the juice was almost gone, Ling Xie'er decisively brought it to her mouth, took a small bite, and then fed it to Yi Yun.

Ling Xie'er smacked her lips and licked her tongue; the juice of this fruit was really sweet!

She couldn't resist taking a small bite every now and then, and then feeding all the juice to Yi Yun. This juice continuously flowed into Yi Yun's body, and the fist-sized Dragon Blood Fruit was finished in the blink of an eye.

After feeding the last fruit to Yi Yun, Ling Xie'er lingered, sucking on her fingers with reluctance.

Originally, Yi Yun was also unable to digest the Dragon Blood Fruit, but he had the Origin Purple Crystal in his body.

Previously, without Yi Yun's control, the Origin Purple Crystal only passively protected Yi Yun's physical body. Now, with a Yi Yun's Divine Soul controlling it, the Origin Purple Crystal has begun to operate.

The life essence contained within the Dragon Blood Fruit was slowly absorbed by Yi Yun's body!

However, the Dragon Blood Fruit is extraordinary. Originally, even with the refinement of the Myriad Gods Ancestor using the Star Fire and the super formation presided over by a group of powerful figures from Myriad Gods Ridge, it would still take eighty-one days to succeed.

Yi Yun is pressed for time; he must complete the refining process as soon as possible!

Purple Crystal alone isn't fast enough.

Ling Xie'er noticed this, and with a thought, a wisp of the Evil God's Fire Seed flew into Yi Yun's body, refining the Dragon Blood Fruit together with Yi Yun.

The quality of the Evil God's Fire Seed far surpasses that of the Star Fire!

It worked in conjunction with the Purple Crystal, and the Dragon Blood Fruit in Yi Yun's body was quickly digested.

When this energy flowed into Yi Yun 'Yi Yun dantian, a towering green tree that had been dormant within it slowly awakened!

This divine tree stands tall and upright, its endless root system enveloping and absorbing the sap of the Dragon Blood Fruit!

With these three methods combined, the Dragon Blood Fruit was slowly dissolved.

The immense life essence it contained was entirely integrated into Yi Yun's meridians.

"Bang bang bang!"

The blockage in Yi Yun's meridians was largely broken by this massive energy!

However, the seal left by the Myriad Gods Ancestor was too powerful, and the life essence of the Dragon Blood Fruit was still blocked without the support of laws.

However, with the meridian blockage broken open a little, it was enough for Yi Yun. He finally gained control of a portion of his body's power!

These seals were not easy to break. Yi Yun used all the energy he could muster, and with the help of the Dragon Blood Fruit, he immediately formed the Destruction Seal!

Vortex!

One after another, small Myriad Demons Life-Death Wheel spun, advancing into the depths of Yi Yun's meridians!

The Great Destruction Law, destroying everything, Yi Yun forcefully obliterated these meridian seals with the Law of Destruction!

Faster! Faster!

Yi Yun screamed inwardly!

It's simply unimaginable that a martial artist at the fifth level of the Dao Palace Realm could break through the energy seal of the Myriad Gods Ancestor.

However, thanks to the Dragon Blood Fruit and the Great Destruction Law, Yi Yun managed to do it.

Finally, as the last seal was broken, Yi Yun's joints crackled and popped!

At this moment, he has recovered to his peak condition! Even better than ever before, because his bloodline has fused with all the essence of the Dragon Blood Fruit.

However, it will take time to fully absorb these essences and transform them into one's own strength.

Even if Yi Yun had time to transform, let alone not have time now, he would still be no match for those old monsters outside.

Anyway, they've finally regained their strength!

Yi Yun looked around, his gaze sharp as lightning. At this moment, the only living people left in the Kanglong Ding, besides himself and the Snake Woman, were Feng Yunyang.

Feng Yunyang, located at the center of the Medicine Cauldron, endured the most of the scorching Star Fire. He was in excruciating pain and felt utterly hopeless.

How proud he was! To be killed by someone using medicine—how painful and humiliating!

But how could he possibly defy the Myriad Gods Ancestor? He could only die in resentment.

However, just when he had lost all hope of survival, he witnessed a scene that he could hardly believe.

He saw Yi Yun flying towards him, accompanied by a cute little girl.

"Uh... uh..."

Feng Yunyang's eyes widened, wanting to speak, but all his meridians were sealed, rendering him unable to utter a single word.

Why!? Why can Yi Yun move again!? How did he break free?

Feng Yunyang was dumbfounded.

"Brother Feng, are you having a barbecue? Take your time, I'm going out to pack some things, I won't bother you any longer."

As Yi Yun spoke, a small tower appeared in his hand, spinning rapidly.

Yi Yun's Space Ring was taken away, and his only Space Artifact was this God Descending Tower. There were many spiritual herbs in this Medicine Cauldron. It had already taken him a quarter of an hour to absorb a single Dragon Blood Fruit, and the Medicinal Power hadn't even had time to be converted into strength.

It's simply impossible for it to absorb so many other drugs.

Of course, it was impossible for him to just watch these Divine Treasure go.

Without any hesitation, he waved his hand and conjured up a variety of items, including Nine-Revolutions Green Wood Fruit, Dragon Bone Milk, Crimson Blood Celestial Silkworm, and Nine-Winged Golden Dragon!

All income from the God Descending Tower!

Feng Yunyang's eyes turned red as he watched Yi Yun pack up these spiritual treasures.

He knew the value of these spiritual treasures! And the crucial point was that the ancestor was right outside. What use would Yi Yun have for collecting them? Had he already found a way to leave?

"Uh... uh... uh..."

Feng Yunyang managed to utter a hoarse syllable, trying to ask Yi Yun if there was a way to leave this place, but he couldn't get the question out.

He actually wanted to say that he and Yi Yun were now in the same boat, and if they joined forces, their chances of survival might be greater. He thought Yi Yun knew how to break the seal on his vital energy and wanted Yi Yun to help him regain his mobility. He promised to repay Yi Yun if he could escape.

But even though he had thought all of this through in his mind, he just couldn't say it out loud.

Seeing that Yi Yun was about to leave after packing his things, Feng Yunyang was extremely anxious! As the only living person in the Medicine Cauldron, Feng Yunyang knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would have no chance of survival. He had to ask Yi Yun for help!

Because he was so eager to speak, Feng Yunyang's eyes bulged out, his words were indistinct, his tongue was sticking out, and he was drooling.

"Hmm?" Yi Yun seemed to only then realize that Feng Yunyang wanted to speak. "What do you want to say to me?"

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!" Feng Yunyang's eyes widened, and because he was so anxious, his voice became hurried, sounding quite comical.

"Hungry? Hungry? Hungry? You're hungry? Oh, I see, you're complaining that the barbecue is taking too long and you won't be able to eat for a while. How about I add some more fire for you?"

As Yi Yun spoke, he beckoned to Ling Xie'er, "Xie'er, did you hear that? Add some fuel to the fire."

Ling Xie'er was equally decisive; with a wave of her small hand, as if beckoning chicks, she summoned all the surrounding Star Fire.

Ling Xie'er could also tell that this guy didn't get along with her Yi Yun brother. Ling Xie'er didn't care what Feng Yunyang had done. Anyway, Yi Yun brother was a good person, and anyone who had a grudge against Yi Yun brother was a bad person!

And so, these Star Fire crackled and lashed out at Feng Yunyang!

Feng Yunyang was in excruciating pain. He tried desperately to open his mouth, but he couldn't even let out a scream. The blood mist all over his body was quickly evaporated, and he was in unbearable agony.

"Uh... uh... uh..."

Feng Yunyang roared wildly, filled with hatred. He realized that Yi Yun had been playing him for a fool!

"Take your time baking, I'm not playing along."

Yi Yun didn't have time to play around with Feng Yunyang; he was preparing himself, waiting to break out of this desperate situation!

He had already gathered all the medicinal herbs and mobilized all his vital energy. Just then, Yi Yun's heart sank. He felt a cold Spiritual Sense probing into the Hidden Dragon Ding!

This Spiritual Sense sent shivers down his spine!

The Myriad Gods Ancestor!!

At this moment, outside the Hidden Dragon Ding, numerous elders and Personal Disciple of the Myriad Gods Ridge poured all their energy into the great formation to maintain the burning of the Star Fire.

Although the Myriad Gods Ancestor, located at the center of the great formation, had done everything perfectly, he would still occasionally probe the interior of the Hidden Dragon Ding.

In reality, because of presiding over the grand formation, the Myriad Gods Ancestor had greatly depleted his Divine Soul power. Penetrating the raging Star Fire into his Divine Soul power and occasionally conducting a rough exploration was already his limit.

What he could focus on was the death of these medicinal ingredients and whether the refining of the medicine was going smoothly. But just now, for some inexplicable reason, a sense of unease flashed through the heart of the Myriad Gods Ancestor.

He immediately probed the Hidden Dragon Ding with his Spiritual Sense!
