Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan

After the portion of spiritual power that Zhukun had cut off was successfully condensed into a solid Spiritual Clone...

The Dragon Emperor, who had been trapped for thousands of years, could no longer contain his excitement, and his pupils even began to glisten.

He took a sudden step forward, opened his arms, and gave Huo Yuhao a tight bear hug.

"Hey! Uncle Zhukun! Be gentle! My shoulder isn't fully healed yet!" Huo Yuhao gasped and quickly stopped him.

"Haha! Sorry, sorry! I was so happy! I forgot for a moment!"

Zhukun then realized what was happening, quickly released his arm, and rubbed his hands awkwardly, but the look of ecstasy on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

After Zhukun stepped back, Huo Yuhao rubbed his numb shoulders and examined the Spiritual Clone in front of him that was almost identical to Zhukun's original body.

"Uncle, how much of your power can this clone unleash now?"

"Haha! Guess!" Zhukun, in a great mood, kept everyone in suspense.

Still in a state of extreme excitement, he grabbed Huo Yuhao's uninjured shoulder and, without saying a word, moved!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The next moment, the two figures began to flash wildly and erratically in this vast Magma World, moving at an extreme speed, as if they were appearing in countless locations simultaneously.

Zhukun simply wanted to vent his joy at regaining his freedom, but this caused great suffering to the Flame Lizardmen of the Magma World.

Terrified by the sudden and instantly vanishing terrifying pressure, they scattered in all directions, creating chaos.

Once Zhukun's excitement had subsided somewhat, he led Huo Yuhao back to the entrance of the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.

"Although my clone has emerged, its consciousness seems unable to synchronize with my main body within the cave."

After briefly checking the state of his Spiritual Clone, Zhukun frowned slightly and asked a new question.

"Once the distance becomes even slightly greater, the connection becomes extremely weak or even breaks down. In that case, wouldn't the original entity still be imprisoned?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, a thoughtful glint in his eyes. "I think I have a way to solve this problem."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao immediately began to deduce a solution in his mental world.

About half an hour later, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. Strange soul fluctuations gathered around him, eventually forming the prototype of a complex and exquisite Spiritual Formation.

Next, he solidified the spirit seal within the Dou Qi crystal. Huo Yuhao then handed the Spiritual Formation to Zhukun.

"This Spiritual Formation can bind and connect different Soul Imprint and Mental Imprint."

Huo Yuhao explained, "Its core function is to enable consciousness to connect between different imprints."

Specifically, Zhukun's Soul Power stops at the entrance of the cave, thus binding the Soul Imprint of his body to this formation.

Because the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion had relatively loose restrictions on the leakage of Zhukun's Dou Qi, its power was enough to radiate to a small part of the magma seabed.

Therefore, Zhukun's main body can maintain the operation of the Spiritual Formation, preventing it from being eroded and destroyed by the extremely dense fire attribute energy in this place.

At the same time, Zhukun's Spiritual Clone in the outside world also binds a unique Mental Imprint to this formation.

"As long as you, Uncle, maintain the separation of your Soul Imprint and Mental Imprint."

Huo Yuhao further explained, "Your clone will not trigger the seal of Tou She Ancient God. However, your main consciousness can clearly extend to the clone through this Spiritual Formation."

"Oh? This formation of yours is quite interesting!" Zhukun stared with great interest at the slowly rotating formation in his palm.

He was like a child who had received a new toy, constantly trying to leave his own Soul Imprint on it, and then carefully erasing it, feeling the subtle changes in the connection and disconnection of consciousness within it, having a great time.

Because Huo Yuhao had previously established a relay station for "Multi-person Communication Spirit Device" at the Jia Nan Academy, this could be used as a model for further modification.

Good.

That's how they were able to develop such a Spiritual Formation in such a short time.

"Uncle Zhukun, we should leave now," Huo Yuhao reminded him.

"I need to head to Central Plains tomorrow; there are some things I need to arrange before then."

"Go to Central Plains? Haha, perfect!" Upon hearing this, Zhukun's eyes lit up. With a wave of his hand, his Storage Ring flew out of the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion and landed in the clone's hand.

He grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm, his voice excited. "I'll take you there! Spatial travel is child's play for our Ancient Void Dragon Clan!"

He paused, a serious expression on his face. "Besides, it's time to take you and Zi Yan back to Dragon Island!"

The following morning, in an elegant side hall of the Mittel Auction House in the Jia Ma Empire.

As Xiao Yi Xian was humming a song softly and studying the medicinal properties of several herbs, she suddenly sensed a subtle fluctuation in the space behind her.

She turned around in surprise and saw Huo Yuhao's figure appear quietly.

Beside him was a boy who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a slightly oversized Jia Nan Academy uniform, with a face...

A proud and arrogant little girl.

And a middle-aged man of unusually tall and robust build, dressed in a black robe, with a kind face.

Xiao Yi Xian blinked her clear eyes, put down the herbs in her hand, and walked forward curiously, asking softly, "Brother Huo Yuhao, who are these two?"

Huo Yuhao stepped aside and introduced, "This is Zi Yan, a student from the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy. This gentleman next to her is Zi Yan's father, Senior Zhukun."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian bowed slightly and said, "Zhukun."

Then she looked at Zi Yan, Yanran, her eyes curving into crescents. "Zi Yan, how are you?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan immediately pouted, put her hands on her hips, and retorted unhappily, "Hey! Who's your little sister? I'm much older than you! You should call me 'older sister'!"

Huo Yuhao chuckled and added, "Zi Yan and Senior Zhukun are from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. They are both planning to travel to Central Plains with me this time."

"Oh! So that's how it is!" Xiao Yi Xian covered her mouth gently with her hand in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"But Zi Yan, you're so cute!"

As she spoke, Xiao Yi Xian took out a giant lollipop from her storage ring.

He skillfully unwrapped the candy and handed the tempting candy to Zi Yan.

Zi Yan's eyes lit up immediately. She took the lollipop, tentatively stuck out her little tongue and licked it, then a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

"Hmm! Sweet but not cloying, it's really quite good!"

Seemingly completely won over by this perfectly timed lollipop, Zi Yan licked the candy while reaching out her little hand, jumping up and patting Xiao Yi Xian's shoulder.

"Since you're so sensible, I'll make an exception and allow you to call me 'Little Sister Zi Yan'!"

"From now on, I'll protect you! If you ever run into any trouble or anyone bullies you, just come to me!"
