Yun Yun: Do You Think I'm Too Old?

Inside the room, Xiao Yuan stroked a golden scroll, seemingly lost in thought.

This golden scroll contains the complete set of Emperor Imprint Skill Dou Technique, a gift from Xun'er. To be honest, these Dou Technique are quite good; once mastered, they are comparable to Heaven Rank Battle Skill.

After a night of passion with Xiao Yi Xian, his Yin and Yang energies were harmonized, and his Yin Yang Dual Flames have improved somewhat. This has also led to a slight improvement in his Dou Qi, and he should be able to break through to the Five Star Dou Zong within one or two weeks.

As long as the Clan Mark is activated, one can maintain their position at the Dou Zun level as much as possible. Although the Clan Mark can now be activated almost entirely by the burst of bloodline power, it is still usable.

This means that he can now cultivate the first four seals of the Emperor Imprint Skill.

As High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique, the Emperor Imprint Skill is probably quite difficult to cultivate. I will have to focus on cultivating it in the future.

With a casual gesture, Xiao Yuan set up a soul barrier, and his mind gradually became focused. The next moment, Xiao Yuan mobilized the Dou Qi in his body and rushed it toward the scroll. To open the scroll of the Emperor Imprint Skill, a large amount of Dou Qi was required. It was like a kind of review mechanism. Only when the absorbed Dou Qi met the standard could it be opened.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan remained calm and composed, continuously channeling his Dou Qi from his body and pouring it into the golden scroll through his arm.

Faced with such a massive influx of Dou Qi, the golden scroll did not react much except for a slight increase in the faint light emitted from its surface. Seeing this, Xiao Yuan silently increased his output of Dou Qi.

With the Dou Qi foundation of his five Qi Mansion, even some low-level Dou Zun expert might not be able to defeat him in terms of Dou Qi alone.

The infusion of Dou Qi lasted for nearly half an hour before it ended, and the golden scroll trembled slightly as a result.

"Laugh!"

The next moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from the scroll. The light was so intense that even Xiao Yuan felt a stinging pain in his eyes. However, as Xiao Yuan reflexively channeled the Heavenly Flames into his eyes, the stinging sensation gradually disappeared, and Xiao Yuan's gaze swept over it.

With a soft sound, the scroll burst open, filling the room with golden light. In mid-air, amidst the surging golden light, some golden characters could be faintly seen flowing within it.

Xiao Yuan felt his eyes sting after just one glance at the dense golden characters. Without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and probed into the golden light.

As Xiao Yuan's palm reached in, the golden light surged violently, then swirled and transformed into a golden beam that crashed directly into Xiao Yuan's head. At the moment of contact, the golden light entered Xiao Yuan's mind without any hindrance.

As soon as the golden light entered his brain, Xiao Yuan let out a muffled groan. The influx of a large amount of information made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

"What an overbearing Emperor Imprint Skill!"

Xiao Yuan shook his head. After getting used to the feeling of his brain being filled with knowledge, he focused his mind on studying the golden light that existed in his soul's sea of consciousness.

As soon as his mind entered his brain, a burst of dazzling golden light shot out. Looking around, he found that this place was almost a world of golden light. In the air in front of him, countless characters formed by golden light were pieced together and finally twisted and turned to form a light screen in mid-air. On the light screen, the huge golden characters were so bright that they hurt Xiao Yuan's eyes.

"The Emperor Imprint Skill, Earth Rank Advanced, is said to have been created by an ancient Dou Di powerhouse. It consists of five forms: Mountain Splitting Seal, Sea Flipping Seal Earth Overturning Seal Sky Annihilation Seal, Heaven-Annihilating Seal, and Ancient Emperor Seal. Each seal is interconnected, and when all five seals are mastered, their power is comparable to Heaven Rank Battle Skill! However, to cultivate this seal, one must reach the Dou Wang rank. After that, each seal requires advancing one rank, otherwise, the cultivation of the seal will fail, and one will suffer the consequences!"

"Tsk, that's pretty classy."

Looking at the huge, flowing characters, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Just by looking at those characters, he could feel the extraordinary nature of the ancient Dou Di. The unique charm of the characters allowed him to glimpse the domineering aura of a Dou Di powerhouse.

After focusing intently on memorizing all five hand seal techniques, Xiao Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

This Emperor Imprint Skill is domineering, and his strength is now extremely formidable. If he cultivates the Emperor Imprint Skill in the Ye Clan, he will probably tear the Ye Clan apart in just a few days.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yuan activated his Clan Mark, raising his strength to the Dou Zun level. He tore through space, went outside Ye City, found a secluded mountain, and landed there.

"This place is quite nice; there aren't many people here, so I can cultivate to my heart's content."

Xiao Yuan's powerful soul force swept over the surroundings. After confirming that there were no problems, he nodded in satisfaction. With his eyes half-closed and his mind slightly stirred, a piece of information slowly flowed through his heart.

After carefully studying the cultivation method of the "Mountain Splitting Seal", Xiao Yuan nodded thoughtfully after a long while. This "Emperor Imprint Skill" was indeed a High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique comparable to Heaven Rank Battle Skill. Its cultivation difficulty was much greater than that of the Five Round Fire Separation Method.

It should be noted that while both are comparable to the Heavenly Rank, the Five Round Fire Separation Method relies on the power of five kinds of flames, but the Emperor Imprint Skill Technique is different. The Emperor Imprint Skill relies entirely on its own power, so its difficulty is naturally much higher.

"Three specific meridians need to be opened before you can form hand seals and mobilize Dou Qi to unleash Dou Technique."

Xiao Yuan touched it, a playful smile playing on his lips.

Within the human body, the meridians are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Some meridians are small and hard to find, and extremely fragile. Let alone opening them, even being hit by a slightly stronger energy will cause them to break. The three specific meridians of the "Mountain Splitting Seal" are located in three remote places in the right arm. If an ordinary person wants to open them, it will definitely take a lot of time.

But Xiao Yuan is no ordinary person.

During the years he cultivated the five Qi Mansion, he opened every meridian in his body that could be opened. As for the three meridians required for the Emperor Imprint Skill, Xiao Yuan had already begun to unblock and nurture them when he was still Dou Shi.

By now, those three meridians have become incredibly resilient, comparable to the most resilient meridians in other people's bodies.

So, Xiao Yuan skipped the step of opening up his meridians and began practicing the first seal of the Emperor Imprint Skill.

Xiao Yuan smiled lightly and formed a rather strange hand seal in front of him with his right hand. He pushed the hand seal forward, but without any Dou Qi to drive it, it was just a show. Cultivating this kind of Dou Technique that requires hand seals usually involves three steps.

The first step is to make this flower stand, familiarize yourself with each hand gesture, and be able to skillfully form a set of hand gestures in the shortest possible time.

The second step is to coordinate with the circulation of Dou Qi to slowly condense hand seals.

The third step, naturally, is to perfect the first two steps and reach the pinnacle of Dou Technique. When fighting against others, one can form hand seals at lightning speed and slap the opponent until they are completely disoriented.

Xiao Yuan had high expectations for this.

The Sky Annihilation Seal that the old man in black used that day left a deep impression on him, but the casting speed was not very good.

If it were him, he would have condensed the Emperor Imprint Skill during close combat and delivered a single slap, which would likely have killed even the Ice Venerable.

The vast forest, with its lush greenery, resembles a green ocean, stretching as far as the eye can see.

"Mountain Splitting Seal!"

Two days later, Xiao Yuan was in mid-air, his hand seals creating a series of afterimages. Soon, his palm was enveloped in intense light, and as the light surged, his palm pushed forward, releasing a Crystal Layer Handprint that slammed into the mountain peak in front of him.

Boom! The next moment, the Crystal Layer Handprint shot out, and with a loud bang, smoke and debris flew everywhere. Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded in satisfaction. In his soul perception, the mountain peak was directly blasted flat! He mastered the Mountain Splitting Seal in just two days. If Xun'er heard about this, she would probably be amazed by her Third Brother's extraordinary talent.

However, Xiao Yuan quickly adjusted his mindset and began learning the next seal, the Sea Flipping Seal.

Sea Flipping Seal, Xiao Yuan's learning speed slowed down.

It took Xiao Yuan five full days to completely master it.

And he hasn't been back to the Ye Clan for a week.

Just as Xiao Yuan was about to continue cultivating the Earth Overturning Seal, a fragrant breeze wafted by his side. Upon closer inspection, he saw Xiao Yi Xian in a purple dress glaring at him with a displeased expression.

"Good evening?"

Xiao Yuan glanced at the gradually darkening sky and said hesitantly.

"You said you were coming to find me, so why did you come here to practice your Dou Technique?"

Seeing the mess on the ground, as if it had been hit by a meteorite, Xiao Yi Xian knew that Xiao Yuan had been up to no good again these past few days, and immediately questioned him angrily.

She was both excited and nervous.

They were afraid that Xiao Yuan would come, afraid that Xiao Yuan wouldn't come, and even more afraid that Xiao Yuan would do something reckless.

As a result, she was stood up for a whole week!

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Uh, sorry, I was so focused I forgot."

Xiao Yuan snapped out of his daze and smiled apologetically.

He really didn't mean it.

It's so rewarding to practice such advanced Dou Technique.

More satisfying than shooting! "Am I not as appealing as Dou Technique?"

Xiao Yi Xian felt she had suffered a great humiliation. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she fiercely questioned him.

"I absolutely did not say that, nor did I think that!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan dared not practice the Emperor Imprint Skill anymore and quickly raised his hand as if to swear an oath.

"The main reason is that after arriving in Central State and seeing so many powerful people, I felt that my own strength was extremely weak. I wanted to increase my strength so that I could protect you."

Xiao Yuan then sighed and said with a serious expression.

"Having been in Central State for so long, you must know how terrifying the Soul Hall is, right? Without the strength of Dou Sheng, you probably can't deal with some of the top experts in the Soul Hall. I certainly want to spend my days with you and live a carefree life, but in the Douqi Continent, strength is paramount. The Saint Pill City we're going to next will probably be filled with even more powerful figures. All you can do is improve your own strength."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi Xian's voice carried a hint of resentment. "So, back when you were still Dou Shi, you already knew you wanted to cultivate to that level? Although I can understand you, we've only just started, and you've already abandoned me. Can't you consider my feelings too?"

"I've never doubted my potential. I'm sorry, this time it was my fault. Let's go back. I'll come back to cultivate again in a while. Anyway, there's still a long time before the Pill Gathering starts. At least I should spend time with you and them."

Xiao Yuan knew that he had indeed acted inappropriately this time. It was alright that Cai Lin had been by his side the whole time, but he should have spent more time with the other three women, whether it was Tang Huo'er who came to the Ye Clan to find him, or Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian who had been waiting for him for a long time. What was the point of sneaking out and practicing Dou Technique day and night?

"There's no need for that. We'll just come with you. Even if it's just to watch you practice your Dou Technique, that's fine too."

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head and said with great understanding.

"Uh, that won't do. If I'm going to stay with you, I can't think about anything else. I do owe you something. When we weren't together and were far apart, there wasn't much to say. But now that we live in the same courtyard, you can't even find a trace of me. That shouldn't be the case."

Xiao Yuan shook his head, took Xiao Yi Xian's hand, tore through the void, and returned to the Ye Clan.

As soon as he landed, Xiao Yuan felt three familiar gazes focused on him.

"Xiao Yuan! Where did you run off to? If it weren't for Xiao Yi Xian looking for you, were you planning to hide from us for months? If you keep doing this, I'll tell Father that you're bullying me!"

Tang Huo'er's questioning and threatening words rang out quite decisively.

"You might as well tell your father that Xiao Yuan abandoned you after seducing you; that might be more damaging."

Cai Lin offered a suggestion from the side.

"Oh, that makes sense!"

Tang Huo'er nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"No, you're wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan lowered his head and raised his hands in surrender.

The next moment, a gentle breeze came, and the beauty was in his arms.

"Sister Yun? What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Yun Yun, who was holding him tightly, with a somewhat blank expression, and asked with some confusion.

Do you think I'm too old?

Yun Yun's voice trembled, and she was on the verge of crying.

"No, why do you say that?"

Xiao Yuan blinked, reached out and patted Yun Yun's shoulder and back, and asked softly.

"Then what kind of Dou Technique have you been practicing outside all these days? I left the Jia Ma Empire, eagerly anticipating coming to accompany you on your adventures in the Central State, but then that kind of thing happened. After you were caught in the Space Storm, Xiao Yi Xian and I were worried sick. We finally waited so long to see you, but then you disappeared without a trace!"

Yun Yun raised her head and questioned him.

She was certainly not angry that Xiao Yuan was practicing Dou Technique.

However, given her keen insight and the fact that she and Xiao Yi Xian had become like sisters and could talk about anything, she naturally knew that Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yuan had already done that kind of thing after Xiao Yi Xian came out of seclusion.

She had missed Xiao Yuan for so long, and out of pride, she naturally hoped that Xiao Yuan would be more sensible and take the initiative.

As a result, Xiao Yuan disappeared for a week, only saying that he was practicing Dou Technique, but not where he went.

How could anyone endure this? In the Misty Cloud Sect, she was the sect leader, but by Xiao Yuan's side, she was just an ordinary woman who hoped that the person she loved would love her in return.

"I was wrong, sisters!"

Looking at Yun Yun's face, which was brimming with tears, Xiao Yuan suddenly felt that he deserved to die.

He was so focused on cultivation that he forgot he was no longer alone.

"I have an idea, would you like to hear it?"

Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and then asked.
