Regardless of the changes that had occurred within the Clear Void Immortal Domain, at this moment, only Lin Yu, Chen Honghu, and the little boy remained in the void.
"Buzz..."
A strange buzzing sound suddenly came from the little boy's stomach, and then the little boy's body, exuding the aura of the Heavenly Dao, floated to Chen Honghu's side on its own.
Chen Honghu looked completely bewildered. He had just been contemplating dying for the little boy and couldn't understand the situation at all.
He looked helplessly at the little boy, then at Lin Yu, his eyes filled with pleading!
However, Lin Yu, who had just offered his help, was now simply smiling and calling out to Chen Honghu.
Just as Chen Honghu was about to say something, he heard another buzzing sound.
Suddenly, countless chains sprouted from the little boy's body and pierced directly into Chen Honghu's body.
"Uh... uh?" Chen Honghu groaned subconsciously, but quickly realized that although the chains had pierced his body, they did not cause him any pain.
Before Chen Honghu could react, a mysterious mass suddenly appeared in the void beneath his feet.
At the same time, a huge, mysterious blue star appeared above the heads of both Chen Honghu and the little boy.
Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled slightly and began to explain to Chen Honghu.
"This is the Ancient Star Clan; this life-and-death pact is Archaic Covenant."
"W-What do you mean?" Chen Honghu looked at Lin Yu with a blank expression.
At the same time, Chen Honghu was secretly thinking to himself, "As expected of the Palace Master, he really knows about this matter."
Seeing Chen Honghu's expression, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile slightly. He then continued to explain, "This little rascal is from the Ancient Star Clan, a clan with an extremely long history."
"It is said that the Ancient Star Clan has existed since the Dao Qi era. Apart from the three times during the Dao Qi era, in this era, only this little bean sprout has signed such an alliance with you!"
"Once this alliance is signed, we will be able to share an infinite lifespan with the Ancient Star Clan, practically immortal, and possess extremely powerful vitality."
"Every thousand years, the Archaic Star Clan undergoes another transformation. From this perspective, the potential of the Ancient Star Clan is almost limitless, because their combat power can be stacked after each transformation."
"However, once this contract is signed, the cultivators of the Ancient Star Clan will lose their freedom. The two parties who sign the contract must stay together at all times, otherwise they will suffer a backlash and face the end of their lives."
"In short, this contract is far from favorable to the Ancient Star Clan."
"Only cultivators who have reached a certain level of strength or cultivation might seek out a highly talented cultivator and form a contract with them in order to elevate their own level."
"Of course, given the almost endless lifespan of the Ancient Star Clan and their aloofness from worldly affairs, very few people would do such a thing."
Lin Yu spoke at length, but Chen Honghu knew nothing about things like the Dao Qi era.
The only thing he understood was that this Ancient Contract, though it sounded fantastical, was actually just a life-or-death contract. From now on, the two people's lives were equal; if one died, the other would also die.
"But don't underestimate yourself. Your talent is no less than this kid's," Lin Yu continued.
Upon hearing this, Chen Honghu laughed as well, "It's good that he wasn't a burden!"
"Buzz..."
As they spoke, the Great Dao runes on the little boy's body lit up again, and then his aura trembled slightly. Afterward, the life-and-death contract beneath them transformed into two streams of light, which merged into their respective bodies.
At the same time, the blue star above the two of them lit up slightly, and the light representing the completion of the contract shone on them.
"Boom..."
A terrifying golden light erupted from Chen Honghu's body, and his aura began to rise at an astonishing speed.
Originally, Chen Honghu's realm was only at the Early Immortal King Realm. Now, with the aurora flashing and endless immortal Immortal Qi surging into him, his upgrade was unstoppable.
The Third Layer of the Early Immortal King Realm!
First Layer of the Middle Immortal King Realm... Third Layer of the Middle Immortal King Realm...
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
At the same time, seven-colored light surrounded the two of them. Lin Yu smiled faintly, sat cross-legged in the void, and quietly protected Chen Honghu and Xiaodouding.
Of course, all of this has long been hidden by Lin Yu and has not been revealed to the beings of Clear Void Immortal Domain.
After all, the little boy's identity is special, and it's best not to let too many people know the secrets of the Ancient Star Clan.
Three full hours later.
"Boom!"
An extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the window.
Immortal Emperor Realm Early Stage First Layer!
This Ancient Contract actually raised Chen Honghu's cultivation level by an entire level; the power involved was simply inconceivable.
If others saw Chen Honghu's current advancement, they would probably be green with envy, wishing they had made a pact with the little boy.
However, Lin Yu, who was sitting to the side, was not surprised at all when he heard the commotion.
Actually, if it were just sharing the power with the Foodie little boy, there wouldn't be such a significant improvement.
However, besides these two factors, there are actually two other variables.
One is the power that Chen Honghu inherited. That power alone was actually enough for Chen Honghu to advance to the Immortal Emperor Realm.
However, Chen Honghu was always worried that his rapid advancement in cultivation level would lead to an unstable foundation, so he sealed away most of his power.
This sealing took place in Chen Honghu's subconscious, so he himself was unaware of it.
Another reason is that the little boy ate the Heaven-Mending Fragment.
The power of the so-called Heaven-Mending Fragment is naturally extraordinary!
After consuming the Heaven-Mending Fragment, the little boy fell into a deep sleep, but his strength was also rapidly increasing.
Now that he and Chen Honghu have formed Ancient Contract, the power of this Heaven-Mending Fragment will naturally be shared. This power surged into Chen Honghu's body, naturally triggering another burst of Immortal Qi.
As for the cultivators below the sky, although they could neither hear nor see what was happening in the sky, Lin Yu did not stop the spiritual energy fluctuations brought about by Chen Honghu's upgrade, so most of them could feel the changes in Chen Honghu.
Moreover, on the other side of the Primordial Rankings, Chen Honghu's level and realm are also being updated in real time.
Three hours later, Immortal Emperor Realm!
