Primordial Soul Imprint

"Blood sacrifice to the Dou Di?"

Xiao Yuan frowned.

This doesn't sound like a good thing.

Moreover, even if the Dou Di himself risked his life, he could not possibly harm him in the slightest.

Judging from her appearance, that woman should be the teacher's wife, probably the Han Shanshan that the teacher mentioned before. And it is clear that this Han Shanshan's relationship with the teacher is even closer than that of Aunt Xuan.

But what the teacher said before was about finding Han Shiniang, which means that the teacher did not know that Han Shiniang had made a sacrifice. Han Shiniang also said that the teacher would lose this part of the memory. At this moment, the missing memory is also a part of the soul, which is why the teacher's soul state is disordered.

Xiao Yuan's thoughts sank slightly, and then his gaze swept around.

Huh? Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan discovered that he had actually appeared in this world in the form of a soul body through that Soul Imprint.

Although his form was somewhat illusory, his Spirit Realm soul still possessed the ability to contend with Dou Zun expert, so Xiao Yuan felt a little more at ease.

Soon, the young Yao Lao awoke from his coma, stood up from the black ice, and looked around. It was deathly silent. His first action was to open his hand, and a burst of fighting fire erupted from his palm, but there was not a trace of Bone Spirit Cold Flame. Clearly, he had failed! Immediately afterward, Xiao Yuan saw a look of confusion flash in Yao Lao's eyes, as if he had realized that he had lost something. He subconsciously looked around, searching for something.

Not far away, the young Feng Xian was also unconscious.

"Feng Xian!"

A sliver of clarity finally returned to Yao Lao's eyes. He lunged towards Feng Xian, who was lying on the ground, and sent a burst of Dou Qi into Feng Xian 'Feng Xian body, stimulating his Dou Qi and sustaining his life! "Cough, Brother Chen? What happened? You succeeded?"

As soon as Feng Xian spoke, he inquired about the purpose of their trip.

Yao Chen shook his head, a bitter look on his face. "It's simply impossible to succeed. This Bone Spirit Cold Flame has existed for countless years."

In his memory, he only remembered that he and Feng Xian encountered a strange beast transformed by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. As a result, he was no match for it, but the Dou Emperor Bloodline inherited in his body saved his life.

But for some reason, he always felt a sense of loss, as if something important had been overlooked or forgotten.

What is it? No, now is not the time to think about that. Feng Xian is in very poor condition and we must get him away from here as soon as possible. The Bone Spirit Cold Flame can wait, but Feng Xian cannot stay in this extremely cold Dead Domain any longer.

With that thought in mind, Yao Lao carried Feng Xian on his back and quickly left the Dead Domain.

Xiao Yuan wanted to say something, but it seemed as if a mysterious force was restricting him, preventing him from communicating with Yao Lao.

"Well!"

From the depths of the Dead Domain, a faint sigh of a soul echoed. Xiao Yuan turned his gaze and found his Master Han in mid-air, watching Yao Lao depart with a reluctant look in her eyes.

Her translucent spirit body was entwined with countless strange runes, and Dou Qi of terrifying battle aura emanated from these runes. This power transcended time and space, existing at any time, past, present, and future, omnipresent.

Is this the price of sacrificing Dou Di? A look of regret appeared on Xiao Yuan's face. He could feel that the power of that wisp of Soul Imprint was about to be exhausted, and he would soon return to his body.

Wrong!

He can't go back! Xiao Yuan suddenly woke up with a start.

After he returns, the Soul Imprint will dissipate, and its influence on Yao Lao's soul will also disappear, thus resolving Yao Lao's problem.

However, without Han Shiniang's Soul Imprint, even if he advances to Dou Di in the future, it will be difficult to find Shiniang's whereabouts. Wouldn't that make his teacher regret it for the rest of his life?

That won't do!

Seemingly noticing Xiao Yuan's soul, Han Shanshan turned her head to look over. Due to the influence of the sacrifice, she had become part of the River of Time. Therefore, she only needed to glance at him to understand Xiao Yuan's identity and the reason for his presence here.

She smiled gently at this disciple of Yao Chen, whom she had never met before.

"Take good care of your teacher for me."

As the words of instruction fell, a shackle suddenly emerged from the void, tightly binding her ethereal spirit. The River of Time appeared out of thin air, intending to draw her into it.

"I don't care what you are, I won't turn a blind eye if you try to steal my master's wife!"

A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Yuan's eyes. Immediately, in the Pill Danta Star Region, Xiao Yuan's body became burning hot. Even across the vast expanse of time and space, Xiao Yuan still activated the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations and pushed his bloodline power to its limit.

A crimson-gold Clan Mark appeared between his brows, and the Dou Emperor Bloodline within his body blazed fiercely. A great and vast power surged across the River of Time and descended upon Xiao Yuan's soul.

"Emperor's blood forms the body, carrying the Soul Seal. The five elements and six energies converge into one, Primal Chaos Blood Soul Seal!"

On Xiao Yuan's soul body, crimson-gold blood light emerged from the depths of his soul, and flames ignited from his bloodline. Under Xiao Yuan's lightning-fast hand seals, it transformed into a crimson-gold Soul Seal.

"There will be a day when we meet again! Mrs. Han, I will reunite you with your teacher."

With a slap, the Soul Seal was released, and Xiao Yuan's soul was as if rejected by the entire world, instantly squeezed out and disappeared from the spot.

As for the crimson-gold Soul Seal, it transformed into a mark the size of a fingernail the instant it was struck, appearing between Han Shanshan's brows.

Han Shanshan was already shocked by Xiao Yuan's methods, and her beautiful eyes flashed with disbelief.

She heard Xiao Yuan's last words! Perhaps she and Yao Chen would really reunite one day! With a satisfied smile, Han Shanshan's soul was pulled into the River of Time and disappeared.

Danta, Star Region.

The Pill Tower Three Giants and Xiao Yan all looked at Xiao Yuan's body, which was burning with dark golden Heavenly Flames, with worried expressions. At this moment, Xiao Yuan's aura was extremely violent. The lotus seat that Xiao Yan had condensed for him had been dispersed by the dark golden Heavenly Flames. In addition, after the Dou Emperor Bloodline burned, Xiao Yuan's strength directly soared to the Eight Star Dou Zun. With the violent movement of the Heavenly Flames, even the Pill Tower Three Giants were quite frightened. They immediately set up seven or eight layers of Dou Qi shields to seal Xiao Yuan.

Otherwise, if we attract the Three Thousand Burning Flame, we'll be in big trouble!

But judging from Xiao Yuan's condition, it was clearly not good; he had already burned his Dou Emperor Bloodline!

Although the Pill Tower Three Giants couldn't understand why Xiao Yuan possessed the Dou Emperor Bloodline, their exceptional knowledge allowed them to recognize that this wasn't just an ordinary Dou Emperor Bloodline, but a top-grade bloodline with extremely high purity! They hadn't heard of any Ancient Emperor clans venturing out across the continent, had they? Moreover, someone with this level of Dou Emperor Bloodline couldn't possibly be without any powerful allies by their side, could they? "Pfft!"

Xiao Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of crimson-gold blood, which turned into crimson-gold flames in mid-air. After rising for a moment, the flames slowly dissipated.

Xiao Yuan's aura instantly dropped back to the strength of Five Star Dou Zong.

Although his cultivation level is still there, he won't be able to cultivate his Dou Qi back for the time being until his Dou Emperor Bloodline is restored.

What's even more troublesome is Xiao Yuan's soul. The Soul Seal he just used was a genuine sacrifice of a part of his Soul Origin, which was then condensed into a powerful seal that could lock onto even Xiao Yuan Han Shanshan, who had transformed into a part of the River of Time. Fortunately, the Primal Chaos Seal has many wonderful uses, otherwise we would really be helpless in this matter.

However, the loss of his Soul Origin has caused Xiao Yuan's soul realm to decline. If this continues, he may fall below the Spirit Realm.

"Brother, why is your soul getting weaker?"

Xiao Yan sensed that Xiao Yuan's soul realm was declining, and immediately asked with a worried expression.

"It's alright, it's just a price we paid. This is the best outcome yet. Teacher should be fine now and will wake up soon. Don't ask me what happened. Xiao Yan, take the Spirit Elevation Soul Nourishing Pill. I need to use the Spirit Elevation Ring that appears when you refine the medicine to stabilize your soul realm!"

Xiao Yuan waved his hand, took the pill that was gleaming with seven colors from the Yao Lao's head, and tossed it to Xiao Yan.

"Brother, if that's the case, why don't you just eat it?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Nonsense! I already possess the Spirit Realm cultivation level. How much benefit can this stuff possibly have? Am I supposed to wait until my cultivation level drops before consuming it? Wouldn't that be a waste?"

Xiao Yuan frowned and reprimanded him.

"Hurry, or this pill will really go to waste!"

Xiao Yuan urged.

"Good!"

Seeing Xiao Yuan's serious expression, Xiao Yan knew that he could not afford to waste any more time by making excuses. He immediately put the pill into his mouth, and a blue lotus seat condensed beneath him as he began to refine the Spirit Elevation Soul Nourishing Pill.

As the medicinal effects were activated, a seven-colored radiance emanated from Xiao Yan's body, forming a ring-shaped ribbon within a five-zhang radius around him.

"Aunt Xuan, seniors, please remove this Dou Qi qi seal, otherwise I'll really be in trouble."

Xiao Yuan's movement was limited due to the sealing effect of Dou Qi, so he gave a reminder.

"Good!"

The three giants were all seasoned practitioners, and they naturally understood that it was best to listen to Xiao Yuan at this moment, so they immediately lifted the blockade.

Xiao Yuan immediately stepped behind Xiao Yan and sat down cross-legged. As if sensing something, the azure lotus seat condensed another lotus seat beneath Xiao Yuan. The two lotus seats, like twin lotus flowers, lifted Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan up, and the seven-colored Spirit Elevation Ring held their souls firmly in place.

"What an amazing elixir!"

Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a peculiar pill. Not only was it effective for the user, but the medicinal power released during use would automatically condense into a ring around the user, preventing it from dissipating. It also possessed the ability to bind the soul of others—truly mysterious and wondrous! "This little fellow can actually refine a pill of this grade; that old fellow Yao Chen is truly blessed!"

Heavenly Lightning nodded and sighed.

"Yao Chen, are you alright?"

Xuan Yi, who had been keeping an eye on Yao Lao, noticed Yao Lao 'Yao Lao awakening immediately and appeared beside him in a flash.

The Yao Lao's eyes still seemed somewhat confused, but after a while, they cleared again. Looking at the man in Xuan Yi before him, whose face was full of worry and whose cheeks were streaked with tears, he smiled apologetically:

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine. It's just like I had a dream, but after waking up, I don't remember anything."

"I'm so glad you're alright!"

Xuan Yi nodded, her full breasts trembling as she was patted by her jade-like hands.

The Yao Lao subtly shifted his gaze to the place where the light was flowing not far away, and frowned.

"What's wrong with these two little guys?"

The Yao Lao drifted to the side and saw his two disciples on his azure twin lotus throne, and asked in confusion.

"Well, it's a long story. Here's what happened."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi recounted what had just happened to Yao Lao.

"The Soul Imprint within the Bone Spirit Cold Flame?"

Upon hearing Yao Lao, looking puzzled, summoned the essence of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame back from between Xiao Yuan's eyebrows, then closed his eyes and examined it intently.

"I didn't sense any Soul Imprint, only some remnants of Xiao Yuan's soul inside."

The Yao Lao shook his head and said with a frown.

"Then we can only wait until Xiao Yuan wakes up and ask him."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi spoke softly.

"Well, that's the only way!"

The Yao Lao nodded, but his gaze kept lingering on his two disciples.

You must understand that right now, the comfort of his two disciples is more important than his resurrection. If something happens to them because of him, even if he is resurrected, he will spend the rest of his life in regret.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yuan isn't a reckless person. He has his own plans, so there won't be any problems."

He said in a soft voice, "Xuan Yi."

"Yes, I see that your disciple is calm and composed, much more mature than you were back then. There won't be any problems."

Xuan Kongzi also spoke up.

"Hmm, your disciple is not bad."

Heavenly Lightning also praised it.

"Gentlemen, it's been a long time."

Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao realized what was happening and greeted his two old friends.

"I had originally trained a pretty good disciple, thinking of letting her compete with your disciple, you old man. I never expected that your disciple could actually refine pills of this level. Really, my alchemy skills were inferior to yours back then, and now my disciple is also like this. It's truly a twist of fate!"

Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Yuan and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, the thing I regret least in my life is taking these two disciples!"

Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao's mood improved considerably. He nodded with a smile, his words filled with pride.

His disciple Yao Chen, was naturally the most outstanding! "Did you bring back the recipe for this pill from the Dou Di Ruins? Why haven't I seen you refine it?"

Xuan Yi was rather curious about the origin of the recipe for the pills that Xiao Yuan was refining.

"No, it's a pill that my master and I just developed a few days ago that can help people enhance their soul power. This Spirit Elevation Ring is Xiao Yuan's idea, derived from the Spirit Raising Method I used when I was refining pills back then."

Just as one might refine a person into an elixir, imbuing them with greater spirituality, this allows Mortal Realm soul to break free from its shackles and advance to the Spirit Realm! This Spirit Elevation Ring can solidify the user's soul, and Xiao Yuan, as the elixir's refiner, can use the power of this Spirit Elevation Ring to perform Spirit Raising Method on himself. Even without the spirituality from the Spirit Ascension's medicinal power, he can still enter a state of Spirit Ascension, thereby stabilizing his own soul's realm.

The Yao Lao introduced himself with considerable pride.
