Goodbye Pangu, He Shoved Another Spiritual Root Fragment Into Me

Lin Yue, while comprehending the Space Jade Slip, kept the crimson-golden vortex in his Dantian and the Law Triangle spinning at high speed. The construction of a Spatial Domain was far more complex than he had imagined—it required not only a vast amount of spatial energy but also precise control over the arrangement of law patterns; any slight deviation could cause the domain to collapse. Following the guidance of the jade slip, he first condensed a spatial pattern in front of him, then slowly nourished it with Chaos Qi to stabilize it gradually. The process was tedious but filled with anticipation.

One morning, as Lin Yue was attempting to integrate the thirty-sixth pattern into the domain's prototype, he suddenly felt a slight tremor in his Dantian vortex. Immediately after, a fragment glowing with green light drifted over from the chaos and landed before him—it was a Spiritual Root Fragment, larger than the previous one, with a richer aura of vitality. It was clearly sent by Senior Pangu.

"Senior!" Lin Yue quickly stood up and looked toward Pangu. The senior had finished his recuperation and was standing in the center of the valley. The golden light around him was more condensed than before, and the aura of the Law of Heaven Opening was even stronger.

Pangu did not speak, only pointed at the Spiritual Root Fragment, then at the Spatial Domain prototype in front of Lin Yue. Lin Yue instantly understood—the senior wanted him to use the Vitality Law from the Spiritual Root Fragment to perfect the Spatial Domain. Though the Spatial Domain could control space, it lacked endurance, and the Vitality Law could precisely compensate for this flaw, granting the domain the ability to self-repair.

He quickly picked up the Spiritual Root Fragment and slowly merged it into the Spatial Domain prototype. As soon as the fragment touched the domain, it released a surging wave of vitality energy, like spring rain nourishing the earth. The previously unstable patterns instantly stabilized, the domain's range expanded by a full circle, and a faint green glow rippled across its surface, brimming with life force.

"Incredible!" Lin Yue couldn't help but exclaim. He could feel that the Spatial Domain, now fused with the Vitality Law, was not only more stable but could also automatically absorb surrounding Chaos Qi to replenish its energy. It could even condense small Space Vitality Barriers within the domain, greatly enhancing its defensive capabilities.

He tried expanding the domain, and a pale green Spatial Domain spanning fifty zhang instantly took shape. The chaotic airflow within the domain automatically parted to both sides, and the fluctuations of the Law of Space were clearly visible. He teleported within the domain—his speed was twice as fast as before, yet the Chaos Qi consumed was halved. When he condensed a Space Blade, a trace of vitality energy clung to the blade's light, allowing it to slowly repair his own injuries upon hitting a target.

"Thank you, Senior!" Lin Yue excitedly expressed his gratitude to Pangu. If the senior hadn't sent the Spiritual Root Fragment, he didn't know how much longer it would have taken to perfect the Spatial Domain.

Pangu nodded slightly, turned, and walked to the valley entrance. His gaze pierced into the depths of the chaos, carrying a complex emotion—both anticipation for the Heaven Opening and regret for the chaos creatures. Lin Yue knew the senior was contemplating the Heaven Opening again, so he didn't disturb him and continued to consolidate the Spatial Domain.

In the days that followed, Lin Yue devoted all his energy to refining the Spatial Domain. Following the method in the jade slip, he continuously optimized the law patterns within the domain, incorporating more vitality energy, making the domain's functions increasingly complete. Not only could it control space and self-repair, but it could also set "Space Traps" within the domain—once an enemy intruded, they would be trapped by the Law of Space, unable to move.

During this time, Pangu occasionally sent some Chaos Qi Condensation and Origin of Heaven Opening Fragments to help him improve his strength. Lin Yue did not disappoint the senior's expectations. The range of the Spatial Domain expanded from fifty zhang to eighty zhang, perfectly matching his Spatial Perception range. His control over the laws within the domain reached new heights, and he could even briefly distort the flow of time within the domain, slowing down an enemy's movements.

One day, while Lin Yue was practicing Space Traps within the domain, he suddenly felt the valley's light tremble violently. The next moment, a black energy shot in from the chaos and struck the edge of the domain. The energy carried a dense aura of destruction—it was the Law of Demonic Path from "Luohu," as Great Immortal Yang Mei had mentioned earlier.

"Not good!" Lin Yue's heart tightened, and he quickly reinforced the domain's defenses. The black energy collided violently at the domain's edge but could not break through; instead, it was slowly purified by the Vitality Law within the domain.

Just then, Pangu's voice rang out: "No need to panic. It's just a probe from Luohu."

Lin Yue looked up and saw Pangu standing beside him. The golden light around him enveloped the entire valley, and the black energy was instantly dispelled. From the distant chaos came a cold, sinister laugh, and then everything fell silent again.

"Senior, why is Luohu probing us?" Lin Yue asked, puzzled.

Pangu said calmly, "He wants to know if my strength has been damaged, and he also wants to see the potential of you, this 'outsider.'" He paused, then added, "The opportunity for the Heaven Opening is drawing closer. Luohu will not let things go easily. You must elevate the Spatial Domain to its perfected state as quickly as possible and prepare for what's to come."

Lin Yue nodded firmly. "This junior understands!"

He looked at the Spiritual Root Fragment in his hand and suddenly had an idea—to deeply fuse the Vitality Law of the Spiritual Root Fragment with the Spatial Domain, forming a "Space Vitality Domain." This domain would not only be capable of defense and attack but could also nourish himself and his companions within it. He immediately began to try. The vitality energy of the Spiritual Root Fragment merged perfectly with the Spatial Domain, and the green glow of the domain became even richer. He could even condense a small Vitality Spring within the domain, rapidly restoring Chaos Qi and law energy.

"Success!" Lin Yue shouted excitedly. He knew he now had another guarantee of survival during the Heaven Opening.

Pangu watched this scene, a glimmer of approval in his eyes. He walked over to Lin Yue and handed him a golden Origin of Heaven Opening Crystal, saying calmly, "Absorb it. Prepare for battle."

Lin Yue took the crystal, his heart full of gratitude. He knew that the day of the Heaven Opening was drawing near, and he had to seize every moment to improve his strength, so as not to disappoint the senior's expectations and survive this great, world-creating upheaval.
