Zi Yan and the Divine Seal Spiritual Formation

Xiao Yan's most regrettable decision in his life was probably entrusting his beloved daughter Xiao Xiao to Zi Yan's care.

Who could have predicted that the once adorable, sweet little girl who called him "Daddy" would...

In the end, he turned into a little devil who would call out "Old Deng" at the drop of a hat.

All of this was caused by the "free-range parenting" style of the Void Ancient Dragon Emperor Zi Yan.

The connection between Xiao Xiao and Zi Yan was sown long before Xiao Xiao was born.

When Xiao Yan refined the Heaven Soul Blood-Fusion Pill, he used a drop of the essence blood of the Void Ancient Dragon Emperor of the Zi Yan.

It was this drop of essence that forged an unbreakable bond between the two.

The two were naturally close, with no barriers between them, and their friendship even surpassed that of biological sisters.

Medusa, seeing that Zi Yan was pure and straightforward, and that she understood her heart, felt at ease entrusting Xiao Xiao to her care;

Xiao Yan believed that Zi Yan was exceptionally strong and could protect Xiao Xiao, so he readily agreed to the "baby-sitting assignment".

Ke Zi Yan had been stealing medicinal herbs at the Canaan Academy since childhood, and being so wild, she had no idea what manners were.

She never taught her children music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, nor did she teach them proper etiquette.

The Starfall Pavilion's medicine storehouse was essentially turned into a snack cabinet for the two of them.

Chewing elixirs like candy, casually munching on thousand-year-old spiritual fruits.

The treasures that the Yao Lao had accumulated over many years were completely ruined by these two little devils.

Not content with just using the existing stock, Zi Yan simply took Xiao Xiao and slipped out of the Starfall Pavilion, plunging headlong into the Ancient Forest in search of treasure.

With her keen sense of the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, Zi Yan could find them accurately every time.

If she encounters a magical beast guarding a treasure, she never resorts to reasoning; instead, she directly unleashes the oppressive aura of the Void Ancient Dragon.

Xiao Xiao, meanwhile, urged the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python to join the fray, their combined efforts frightening the magical beast into obediently offering its treasures.

Over time, Xiao Xiao completely shed her refined lady demeanor and became even wilder than a boy.

What truly changed Xiao Xiao's personality was Zi Yan's daily "rebellious indoctrination."

Zi Yan's father Zhukun, was missing for many years during her childhood.

After finally being reunited with her father, they embarked on another journey into the Great Thousand World, and she gained a deep understanding of what it meant to be an "unreliable father."

Just then, Xiao Yan and Medusa left their young daughter Xiao Xiao on the Dou Qi Continent to explore the Great Thousand World.

The two found common ground, and the originally obedient and sensible Xiao Xiao also quietly planted the seeds of rebellion in her heart.

Zi Yan took the lead in ignoring the rules of elders, Xiao Xiao followed suit, no longer being timid and submissive, but learning to talk back and throw tantrums.

In the past, when Xiao Yan returned, she would rush into his arms and sweetly call him "Father."

Later, influenced by Zi Yan, he criticized Xiao Yan in the original novel for "always showing up at crucial moments".

However, it must be admitted that this "unorthodox" approach to education has its own remarkable effects.

Having followed Zi Yan through countless secret realms, Xiao Xiao's practical experience has exploded. She remains calm and composed in the face of adversity, far surpassing any delicate flower in a greenhouse.

They are straightforward and unpretentious, genuine and loyal, and devoted to those they have chosen.

This purity is the fruit nurtured by Zi Yan's unrestrained companionship.

Xiao Yan feigned helplessness but understood in his heart.

Zi Yan gave Xiao Xiao the freest childhood, and also made up for the absence of his companionship with Medusa.

Those years when she was "led astray" are the most precious memories of Xiao Xiao's life.

Compared to her biological parents, Zi Yan is Xiao Xiao's closest elder.

Xiao Xiao's trip to the Wen Family to find Futu Yun was actually to discuss a marriage proposal for Zi Yan.

It wasn't necessarily a marriage proposal; the main purpose was to facilitate blood ties.

After all, Futu Yun has now cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Scripture.

Not only did it condense the Dragon-Phoenix Spirit, but it also took advantage of the Physical Body Tribulation to transform itself into Dragon-Phoenix Half-Blood Body.

Zi Yan is not a true Dragon-Phoenix, but merely Void Ancient Dragon of the Void with Dragon-Phoenix blood.

Therefore, when Futu Yun proposed using his Primordial Dharma Body to temper her bloodline and help her become a true Dragon-Phoenix,

Zi Yan resolutely refused—she was originally Void Ancient Dragon, not a so-called Dragon-Phoenix.

However, if one could establish a bloodline connection with the current Futu Yun,

Zi Yan can then obtain a purer Dragon-Phoenix bloodline while retaining the Ancient Dragon Bloodline.

Breaking through to the Saint Grade is naturally just around the corner.

After a moment's consideration, Xiao Xiao spoke, "If she can break through to the Saint Grade, you can also use this to overcome your Spiritual Energy Tribulation."

Futu Yun shook his head with a wry smile after hearing this, "I understand your plan, but it's basically unworkable."

Only the bravest and most fearless can conquer the path to Saint Grade.

Once one loses the drive and ambition, one is almost forever excluded from achieving Saint Grade.

From the moment Zi Yan conceived the idea of using someone else's bloodline to break through to the Saint Grade, that path was already blocked.

"As for my Spiritual Energy Tribulation." Futu Yun opened his palm, and Spirit Seal appeared at his fingertips.

The Spirit Seal merged into the air, transforming into countless points of spiritual energy that were indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Immediately, his mind stirred slightly, and these points of light extended into strands of light that eventually intertwined and converged.

Such a complex Formation Diagram construction requires the caster to have extremely precise control over spiritual power.

Even the slightest mistake could lead to failure.

Generally speaking, First-Level Spirit Formation requires at least fifteen Spirit Seal, making it far more complex than Minor Spirit Formation.

Ultimately, it was only equivalent to the Spirit Wheel Stage level, which was nothing more than a trivial skill in Futu Yun's eyes.

Even though he has no talent for Spirit Formation,

With his current cultivation level, his early-stage mastery of Spirit Formation can be completely compensated for by his profound spiritual power.

"What are these?" Although Xiao Xiao's cultivation level was not higher than Bai Xin'er's,

However, he keenly sensed that the Spirit Seal set up by Futu Yun was unusual.

Moreover, although this Spirit Formation appears to be only at level one, its actual power is incredibly great.

Just like before, Futu Yun used a Minor Spirit Formation that couldn't even defeat someone in the Spirit Movement Stage Realm.

Just like how he easily defeated Bai Xin'er, who was at the Earthly Sovereign level.

This First-Level Spirit Formation is now clearly much more powerful.

"So the problem lies with the Spirit Seal. This is a different path indeed," Qing Yanjing murmured to herself, hiding in the shadows.

When Futu Yun defeated Bai Xin'er, the first-order quasi-saint of the Tai Ling Ancient Clan,

The biggest beneficiary was Yun Ye'er from the second rank.

Strictly speaking, the one who started this whole mess was Yun Ye'er.

After all, it was she who went to the Pagoda Ancient Clan to cause trouble under the pretext of "helping Mu Chen get an explanation."

However, before the Tai Ling Ancient Clan made peace, the forces behind the other quasi-saintesses had already backed down.

Only Yun Ye'er refused to stop.

Although this action inevitably smacks of wanting to stir up trouble, it was ultimately seen as a display of the "backbone" of the Tai Ling Ancient Clan.

With Bai Xin'er already dead, Yun Ye'er naturally took over the position of First Order.

As Yun Ye'er's follower, Mu Chen naturally received her protection.

Moreover, when everyone went to negotiate, Futu Yun specifically instructed them not to mention Mu Chen.

Although his reason was "profit above all else,"

But anyone with eyes could see that this was the young clan leader secretly showing favoritism, which could be considered as protecting Mu Chen this time.

Qing Yanjing was grateful for this, and at the same time, she was even more glad that she hadn't aborted the child in her womb back then.

For cultivators at their level, conceiving is already extremely difficult.

Even though the child was conceived unexpectedly, she never considered aborting it.

Futu Yun's actions only strengthened her resolve to keep the child.

Now that Qing Yanjing is secretly protecting Futu Yun, she finally understands.

Why is it that Futu Yun, who clearly lacks talent in Spirit Formation, can create Spirit Formation with such astonishing power?
