His Yang Essence Was Taken

"Hm! This woman happened to land on a secondary array node and luckily escaped the formation's attack. She wasn't blasted to pieces, and her body was still intact."

Zhuang Xingyu ignored her seven or eight broken ribs, her legs that were nearly shattered, and the snow-white skin and long, rounded thighs exposed by her torn clothes.

Instead, his eyes were fixed on her head. A Spirit Bone! The most precious kind—a head Spirit Bone! It looked to be fifty thousand years old, and it was intact.

Zhuang Xingyu reached a finger toward her nostrils. "Hm? Damn it! Why are you still alive?"

This was troublesome. If the woman had already died, Zhuang Xingyu could have taken the Spirit Bone with a clear conscience. But she was still breathing.

If Zhuang Xingyu killed her by force for the Spirit Bone now, how would he be any different from those two bastards, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao?

His own grandfather had been ambushed and killed over a Spirit Bone. Because of that, Zhuang Xingyu could understand her situation all too well.

They were both human. With no grudge between them, taking a few worldly possessions or petty gains would have been one thing. But if he had to kill someone for treasure...

His morals would not allow him to do such a thing! If Zhuang Xingyu went against his true heart over this Spirit Bone today, it would leave behind a heart demon and affect his cultivation.

But using precious pills to save her was not appropriate either! Who knew who she was? What if she was a bad person?

A boy traveling outside had to protect himself!

"Eh, judging by her age and Soul Power, she's among the continent's top generation. But she wasn't in the novel at all! Could she be from one of the Hidden Clans recorded by my family? The Hidden Clans have long inheritances. They must know many ancient secrets, and perhaps even possess cultivation systems that have been lost on the continent."

"Hidden Clans must have Secret Realms. Only then could they avoid going outside while still having sufficient cultivation resources. So they definitely have some great treasures!"

Zhuang Xingyu's eyes shone. The opportunity to learn the ancient secrets of Douluo Continent, perhaps even obtain cultivation systems lost to the continent, was right before him! If he could acquire them, the Pure Yang Sacred Leopard Clan could develop rapidly, and their blood-deep grudge against the Clear Sky Sect could be avenged sooner.

Zhuang Xingyu first covered her eyes with a mask, then swiftly pressed several acupoints to immobilize her. At the same time, he sealed her Soul Power and her senses of sight, hearing, smell, and so on, preventing her from harming him if she was an enemy and from discovering his identity.

He briefly treated her with the Primordial Merit Domain, maintaining her vital signs.

"Hand it over!" Zhuang Xingyu casually removed the Storage Ring from her hand and inspected its contents.

"Wow, she's a rich lady! Hidden Clans really are wealthy!"

The Storage Ring alone contained six hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. Besides that, there were several expensive luxuries, estimated to be worth around six million Gold Soul Coins in total.

"Why carry so much money around? Aren't you afraid of being robbed? Could this money be for carrying out a mission?"

There were also some girls' clothes and toiletries, nothing worth mentioning.

"There's a token!" On its front was engraved: Huangfu. On its back was engraved: Ruiyao. The surrounding edges were carved with patterns of the Five Elements Qilin.

"Her name might be Huangfu Ruiyao, and her family's inherited martial soul is the Five Elements Qilin. Interesting. The waters of this continent run deeper than I thought!"

"The rougher the waves, the more valuable the fish! I, Zhuang Xingyu, am no fish in a pond. I'm the fisherman!"

He then put the ring back where it had been. He might still need her later to learn secrets and obtain treasures, so it was better to leave a good first impression. He could not lose sight of the bigger picture for a small gain.

But if she dared repay kindness with enmity later, she could not blame Zhuang Xingyu for being merciless.

"There are Soul Beasts at the top of the cliff. I'll take her to the bottom first, then deal with her after I'm done."

He continued flying downward toward the base of the cliff.

After descending roughly five hundred meters, he reached the middle of the cliff. Mist filled the air, giving the place an ethereal air. Both cliff walls were covered in lush green moss, and the only sounds beside his ears were his own heartbeat and the wind raised by his descent.

With the formation broken, sunlight streamed in. Within the thick mist, it actually formed a rainbow.

The center was vivid with seven colors while the edges faded into a blur, creating an illusion as dreamlike as a mirage.

If a few rows of cranes appeared, anyone unaware of the truth would think this was an earthly paradise!

At last, he reached the bottom of the cliff and settled Huangfu Ruiyao down.

He carefully examined his surroundings, searching for the tiny trace of origin power that the Chaos Bead had lost.

The bottom of the cliff was very dry. Layers upon layers of Soul Beast skeletons carpeted the ground, with the uppermost layer containing the remains of a Soul Beast around sixty-five thousand years old.

Clearly, these were Soul Beasts that had accidentally entered the cliff and been killed by the Bewildering Soul Formation and killing formation, accumulating year after year.

"Here!" Following the Chaos Bead's guidance, he quickly found the lost origin power. From the outside, it looked like nothing more than an ordinary pitch-black stone.

Suddenly, the Chaos Bead within his sea of consciousness burst with radiance. It released a strand of Spiritual Power, drawing the lost origin power back into its main body.

As the lost origin power gradually merged into the Chaos Bead, the bead emitted seven-colored light dominated by violet-gold. Among the cracks that covered its surface, one tiny crack was repaired, restoring a trace of its former splendor.

Zhuang Xingyu's essence, energy, and spirit were all enhanced. How could he describe the feeling? It was like spending seven days entertaining a rich lady, then suddenly returning to his peak condition.

"What's going on? Why is my entire body burning up?"

Although the Chaos Bead did not deliberately reveal three thousand Great Daos, or laws, for others to study as the Creation Jade Butterfly did, it was still a Chaos supreme treasure. The three thousand Great Daos had to be inscribed within it. Otherwise, how could it form a complete Chaos World?

(According to ancient wording, "three thousand" was a general term meaning an extremely large number. This work uses exactly three thousand laws. These three thousand are the core laws, while all remaining laws are formed through their various combinations.)

The Chaos Bead could be divided into three thousand sections, with every section corresponding to one law. The section repaired just now recorded the Yin Yang Law!

Therefore, Zhuang Xingyu naturally began circulating that law beyond his control.

The Chaos Bead had clearly warned him that there were no other dangers!

Perhaps by its standards, obtaining the Yin Yang dual-cultivation law and performing Marital Rites to stabilize one's cultivation and deepen one's understanding of the law were good things!

But it should have considered the specific circumstances! It seemed he could not trust the Chaos Bead completely in the future. Its standards of judgment differed from those of humans.

At that moment, the heavily injured Huangfu Ruiyao suddenly stood up. A charming crimson glow radiated from her body as her injuries rapidly healed.

Extreme Yin Profound Body! An exceptional physique for dual cultivation. Unlike the sort of cauldron physique that benefited only one side, this one benefited both parties.

Huangfu Ruiyao actually possessed such a physique. Normally, it would only awaken at the age of thirty, but in the extreme state between life and death, it had awakened ahead of time!

When this physique awakened, it would likewise lose control and seek Marital Rites.

"—Mmm~" (It was censored; the original version is gone.)

As Spiritual Power circulated, the obstructions between the two were also torn apart.

Zhuang Xingyu alone faced two fierce mounts, charging east and battling west. Huangfu Ruiyao was beaten into complete disarray, and every attempt to resist ended in failure.

As yin and yang merged, the two gained a deeper understanding of the Yin Yang Law. Huangfu Ruiyao's injuries fully recovered, and she even used the opportunity to break through two levels, reaching level fifty. Zhuang Xingyu's Soul Power also rose two levels, reaching level forty-seven.

Huangfu Ruiyao fell into a deep sleep, her cloudlike hair disheveled, tears still lingering at the corners of her eyes, her delicate brows tightly furrowed. After all, she had only just experienced her first time, so it was not suitable to continue too much.
