Yin Yang Pearl

"Such pure Yin Yang Qi!"

Inside the Danxian Pond, as he felt the powerful energy flooding into his body, Lin Dong marveled internally.

The streams of Yin Yang Qi continuously poured into the Primal Energy mass in his dantian, causing the Primal Energy mass to rapidly grow at a visible speed.

"As expected of the Danxian Pond. No wonder it can greatly shorten the time to break through to the Primal Core Realm. I wonder how miraculous the Yin Yang Pearl is."

Lin Dong's heart immediately heated up. Even the leftover scraps from the Danxian Pond had such effects; the Yin Yang Pearl must be even more wondrous.

Just as the unsophisticated Lin Dong was overwhelmed with emotion, Cang Wu's voice, laced with a hint of disdain, echoed in his mind.

"Enough, kid. Whatever you're feeling, it's better to absorb the Yin Yang Qi here quickly, then dive to the bottom of the pond and retrieve that Yin Yang Pearl."

Lin Dong chuckled dryly at the remark, quickly collected his thoughts, and absorbed the Yin Yang Qi in the Danxian Pond with all his might.

But soon, Lin Dong discovered a problem: he was absorbing too slowly, far slower than Xia Zhilan and the other two.

Especially compared to Xia Zhilan, Lin Dong's Qing Yuan Gong only had seven meridians, resulting in an absorption force of only seven strands. Xia Zhilan, however, had more than double that, a full fifteen strands.

"This trash Qing Yuan Gong is useless."

Lin Dong cursed inwardly, enraging Cang Wu, whose face darkened. He snorted and said, "You truly have no brains, kid. Have you forgotten your Life Spirit Talisman?"

"Life Spirit Talisman?"

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment before finally understanding. He chuckled, no longer annoyed, and immediately mobilized the power of his Life Spirit Talisman, forming two vortexes on his body's surface.

In the next moment, an incredibly immense power surged into Lin Dong's body, nearly bursting his meridians. Fortunately, Lin Dong reacted in time, reducing some of the suction force.

Even so, the suction force caused the entire Danxian Pond's water to churn and roar.

Soon, under the pull of the suction force, the vast Yin Yang Qi surged out of the Danxian Pond, forming a massive energy vortex around Lin Dong and pouring into him.

This commotion naturally woke up Xia Zhilan and the others. Seeing Lin Dong's domineering plunder of Yin Yang Qi, Xia Zhilan couldn't help but spit lightly. However, she maintained her composure and quickly circulated her cultivation technique with all her might, seizing the time to absorb the energy from the Danxian Pond.

Under the forceful and domineering suction, Lin Dong's Primal Energy grew rapidly.

Before long, Lin Dong felt an even more abundant power spreading from his Primal Energy mass to his limbs and bones.

Late Heavenly Yuan Realm!

If he had broken through to the Late Heavenly Yuan Realm a few days ago, Lin Dong might have been overjoyed. But now, his heart was quite calm, without any significant emotional upheaval.

After all, he had already killed an expert at the Lesser Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm. Breaking through to the Late Heavenly Yuan Realm didn't seem to hold much surprise anymore.

Under this domineering suction, Yin Yang Qi continuously poured into Lin Dong's body. After another period of time, roughly equivalent to burning an incense stick, Lin Dong felt that his Primal Energy had reached its limit and could no longer improve.

Seeing that he had absorbed enough, Lin Dong, though feeling a bit regretful, stopped. After glancing at Xia Zhilan and the others, he asked in his mind, "Senior, where is the Yin Yang Pearl?"

"Absorbed enough?"

Cang Wu asked in a deep voice. Although he was also impatient, he didn't show it too eagerly. Seeing Lin Dong nod, he then pointed the way and said, "It's at the bottom of the pond. Just go down, and I'll guide you."

Lin Dong didn't hesitate. He plunged directly into the depths of the pond and swam downwards.

The bottom of the Danxian Pond was not smooth but rather winding, filled with branching paths. Underwater currents surged through these paths, forming strong rapids.

Moreover, as he went deeper, the water gradually became filled with a bone-chilling cold. Fortunately, Lin Dong activated the suction force from his Life Spirit Talisman, which perfectly insulated him.

"That right fork, we're almost there!"

As Lin Dong got closer, Cang Wu's voice grew more excited. Lin Dong looked at the dark fork ahead and didn't hesitate, diving straight in.

After swimming for a while longer, Lin Dong finally saw a faint glow appearing in the darkness ahead. At the same time, the space around him widened.

"Pfft!"

With a sound of breaking the water's surface, Lin Dong was astonished to find himself standing on a slightly damp mountainside cave. The water behind him seemed to be blocked by something.

Upon entering the cave, just as Lin Dong was about to look around, his gaze was drawn to a deep blue ball of light in the center of the cave.

Within the ball of light, a snake shadow could be vaguely seen swimming. It contained an extremely powerful energy, even stronger than Wei Tong, whom Lin Dong had killed.

"What the hell is this?"

Lin Dong's heart trembled. He had almost lost to Wei Tong last time, and now something even more formidable appeared. Even if he had broken through to the Late Heavenly Yuan Realm, he wouldn't be able to deal with it.

"It's just the Demonic Spirit of an Azure Water Demonic Python."

In the enclosed cave, a voice suddenly sounded from his side, startling Lin Dong. He turned to see Cang Wu's figure, which had appeared beside him at some point.

"Senior, why did you come out?"

Lin Dong relaxed at the sight and then asked softly. Cang Wu glanced at him and chuckled.

"If I don't come out, do you think you can handle this Azure Water Demonic Python's Demonic Spirit? Don't say I didn't warn you, its current strength is comparable to the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm."

As he spoke, Cang Wu's gaze fell upon three black and white spheres behind the Azure Water Demonic Python's Demonic Spirit. These were the Yin Yang Pearls he needed.

The Yin Yang Pearls contained extremely pure and potent Yin Yang Qi. Although they seemed unremarkable to cultivators in the three realms of creation, they were enough for Cang Wu to possess a physical body for now.

"Hiss! You should handle it, Senior."

Lin Dong couldn't help but inhale the damp, cold air of the cave and said with a wry smile.

Just then, another small, ethereal figure emerged from the Ancestral Stone. The tiny figure stood on Lin Dong's shoulder and asked in a small voice, "Senior, how do you plan to deal with this Azure Water Demonic Python?"

Seeing Cang Wu look over, Little Marten smiled sheepishly.
