Golden Dragon King's Plan!

"Did it work?" The woman gave off an aura of immense joy and asked.

"Damn it..." Xiao Yan dropped onto the ground on his butt, gasping heavily. Clearly, he had yet to recover from the fright.

At that final moment just now, Xiao Yan had clearly felt an irresistible force descend from nowhere upon that palm, about to tear apart Black Xiao Yan's hand!

But at that very instant, the wooden stick appeared. The palm carried the stick and forcibly headed toward the Life Origin Stone once more!

This time, it was much easier. When the palm touched the Life Origin Stone, it seemed as though it was about to pass right through it again!

But the next moment, a gentle force radiated from the palm. The Life Origin Stone stirred slightly, and the palm took the Life Origin Stone away along with that mysterious round object, while the wooden stick replaced the Life Origin Stone's position.

Fortunately, when those terrifying plants on the ground had tried to attack his palm, they had been stopped by his master ancestor, the Golden Dragon King. Otherwise, Xiao Yan would not have succeeded so smoothly!

Though it looked simple, the complexity involved was such that even thinking back on it now left Xiao Yan feeling powerless.

After all, Black Xiao Yan was a manifestation of his soul power. If he had lost one hand, it would have caused tremendous damage to Xiao Yan's soul power. When the backlash reached Xiao Yan, it would likely have caused considerable trouble.

Fortunately, that had not happened.

Xiao Yan was also rather pleased that he had become quite adept at using the Space Shuttle hand seal.

"It's good that you're unharmed." The Golden Dragon King quickly walked over and circled Xiao Yan once. Only after finding that he was completely intact did he speak with satisfaction.

The Golden Dragon King greatly admired both Xiao Yan's courage and his composure.

This small gesture from his master ancestor, the Golden Dragon King, warmed Xiao Yan's heart. After all, the Life Origin Stone was extremely important to the Golden Dragon King, yet the first thing he looked at was not the Life Origin Stone, but whether Xiao Yan had been injured.

"Thank you." White Xiao Yan slowly spoke to Black Xiao Yan. The strength displayed in that situation just now had clearly been the result of the two joining forces.

"We are one and the same. What is there to thank me for?" Black Xiao Yan laughed freely. Before White Xiao Yan could speak, he transformed into a stream of power and returned to the sea of souls.

"I have fulfilled my mission." The next moment, Xiao Yan spoke to the woman.

"I miscalculated earlier. I never expected this place to be so dangerous. Otherwise, no matter what, I would not have let you risk yourself." The Golden Dragon King spoke solemnly.

"Master Ancestor, rest assured. I know my limits." As Xiao Yan spoke, he slowly raised his palm.

At that moment, an exquisite stone appeared in Xiao Yan's hand.

Along with the stone was a round, bucket-like object attached beneath it.

"This is the Life Origin Stone." The Golden Dragon King shifted his gaze and stared at the Life Origin Stone in Xiao Yan's hand, muttering softly.

"Don't forget what you promised me." The remnant power within the Immortal Sword understood the situation before her. Without another word, she transformed into a ray of light and returned to the Immortal Sword.

That battle had consumed much of her power, so she could not be bothered to argue with Xiao Yan and the others. Besides, even if she wanted to fight, she could not win...

"Master Ancestor, do we really have to give part of its power to this Immortal Sword..." Seeing the woman return to the Immortal Sword, Xiao Yan asked quietly.

"Of course. That Immortal Sword is an exceedingly rare treasure. If it were not a semi-finished product, its value would be immense." The Golden Dragon King smiled.

"Besides, rest assured. The Life Origin Stone's uses are far more than simply tempering weapons."

"Weapons tempered with the Life Origin Stone will also gain some of the Life Origin Stone's attributes."

"So if that Immortal Sword is tempered in the future, it will become an immensely powerful aid." After speaking, the Golden Dragon King smiled toward the Immortal Sword.

"Master Ancestor, what exactly is this Life Origin Stone?" Xiao Yan asked in confusion.

"That is precisely what I want to tell you." After speaking, the Golden Dragon King's voice carried a great deal of weariness.

"Master Ancestor, you..." Xiao Yan noticed the emotion in the Golden Dragon King and immediately asked.

"I'm fine. I merely recalled some unpleasant matters."

"Still, I have great confidence in you. As for that old fellow Tuoshe's judgment, even I have no choice but to admire it." The Golden Dragon King spoke with a misty look in his eyes.

Xiao Yan was greatly shocked when he sensed this.

The Golden Dragon King was extremely proud. For someone as proud as him to speak of Tuoshe this way could only mean that the two were friends who had faced life and death together!

"Ah, I've gone off topic. Let's get back to business." Realizing that the scene had stirred his emotions, the Golden Dragon King coughed a few times and continued.

"The Life Origin Stone is a stone that possesses an immense life force. This life force may seem too distant and insignificant to you now, but I believe that one day, you will understand the secrets within it."

"The greatest use of the Life Origin Stone lies in its life force."

"You know that when I was controlled and sealed by those Outer Realm Evil Clan, I lost much of my origin power and even my vitality."

"And this Life Origin Stone is an extraordinary tonic."

"With it, I can return my soul power to its peak state!" The Golden Dragon King's voice became firm and powerful.

"This thing..."

"It's actually this terrifying!" Even without asking, Xiao Yan knew that the Life Origin Stone was an enormous boon to his master ancestor, the Golden Dragon King!

Once his master ancestor, the Golden Dragon King, restored his soul power to its peak, and Xiao Yan obtained a Holy Flame someday to condense a body for him, it would be a true rebirth!

"From today onward, I may need to enter seclusion."

"Because I have faintly sensed some familiar auras, I have no choice but to make preparations in advance." The Golden Dragon King spoke in a deep voice.

"Master Ancestor, rest assured. When you emerge from seclusion, your disciple will definitely condense a body for you!" Xiao Yan said.

"I do not doubt your potential, kid. But while I am away, you must cultivate diligently. If you slack off, I certainly will not spare you." The Golden Dragon King smiled.

"This disciple accepts your order!" Xiao Yan replied. Though his master ancestor, the Golden Dragon King, spoke this way, Xiao Yan could still feel the heartfelt concern in his smile.

Just like the care Old Yao had once shown him on the Dou Qi Continent.
