An Alliance Invitation, a Meeting of Primordial Spirits

"An alliance ceremony?!"

Shui Qingrou's beautiful eyes widened, and her heart sank suddenly!

[Storm Mountain and Purple Thunder Sect... they actually sent invitations! This is clearly a banquet with no substance!]

She subconsciously glanced at Dongfang Yueming beside her.

Everyone knows that Martial Sect and Storm Mountain are mortal enemies!

And Dongfang Yueming is precisely the Martial Sect's current... golden brand!

"I understand, you may leave." Shui Qingrou suppressed her unease, her voice regaining its usual cool and authoritative tone.

"Yes!" The disciple outside the door respectfully withdrew.

"Handsome young man..." Shui Yan'er tugged at Dongfang Yueming's sleeve worriedly, "Those guys from Storm Mountain are definitely up to no good! You... you have to be careful!"

Dongfang Yueming, however, remained calm.

[Storm Mountain? Purple Thunder Sect?]

[If this had happened before my breakthrough, it might have caused some trouble.]

[But now...]

He felt the terrifying power contained within the Great Perfection Nascent Soul within his body.

Even if a true Void Refinement expert were to come in person, I would still have a fighting chance!

"It's alright." He gently patted Shui Yan'er's hand, reassuring her.

Shui Qingrou glanced at her daughter, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"Yan'er, you can go out now."

"Mother?!" Shui Yan'er somewhat reluctantly.

"Listen to me." Shui Qingrou's tone became a little more forceful, "What happens next... is not something you can be present for."

Shui Yan'er glanced at her mother, then at Dongfang Yueming, and finally could only stomp her foot and leave the room, looking back every few steps.

The door closed, and the room fell silent once more.

"Young Master," Shui Qingrou looked at Dongfang Yueming, her expression becoming more solemn than ever before, "You must not be careless!"

"Since Storm Mountain dares to be so high-profile, it must have the support of the ancestral court of the Upper Realm behind it!"

"It is said that the ancestor of Storm Mountain in the Upper Realm has already reached the peak of the Void Refinement Perfection stage and is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the... Body Integration stage!"

"Once he successfully emerges from seclusion, or sends down Void Refinement level expert..."

"Void Refinement Perfection... Breakthrough to Body Integration..."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yueming raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seems that I really don't have much time left.

A sense of urgency arose spontaneously.

[We must... improve our strength as soon as possible!]

"The cultivation technique." He looked at Shui Qingrou and said directly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shui Qingrou flipped her jade hand, and a jade slip emitting a faint aura of water and fire appeared in her palm.

"The Water-Fire Mutual Aid Art... Soul Formation Chapter"

Dongfang Yueming took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and felt reassured.

With this cultivation technique, my ' Water and Fire Nascent Soul ' now has the potential to advance to the Soul Formation!

"Thank you." He put away the jade slip and was about to get up to take his leave.

"Please wait, young master."

Shui Qingrou suddenly called out to him.

She slowly rose and walked to Dongfang Yueming, a strange light gleaming in her beautiful eyes.

"Young master... do you still remember your previous promise?"

"A promise?" Dongfang Yueming was taken aback.

"Help me... break through this bottleneck."

The Shui Qingrou turned somewhat low, yet carried an undeniable... longing.

Just now, the instant she approached Dongfang Yueming, her nascent Nascent Soul experienced an unprecedented tremor!

That feeling... was like encountering... a call from one of their own kind!

More importantly, she vaguely sensed that the other person seemed to possess a kind of... "perfect" Daoist aura!

This Daoist charm was simply... a fatal temptation for her, who was currently stuck at the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Perfection Soul Formation!

She had a premonition that as long as she could deeply merge with this Daoist essence...

She could then rise to the top in one step!

"This..."

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, whose eyes burned with intensity as if she wanted to devour him whole, Dongfang Yueming felt, for the first time,... troublesome.

[Help me break through?]

[But...]

[How exactly should I help with this?]

"It's very simple..."

Shui Qingrou, graceful steps, almost pressing herself against Dongfang Yueming.

Her breath was sweet and her voice soft and gentle, as if it could drip water. "Young master, you only need to... release your magic power so that I... can comprehend it."

As she spoke, she gently placed her soft, boneless hand on Dongfang Yueming's chest, a tingling sensation spreading through her fingertips.

Dongfang Yueming felt his whole body stiffen and his throat go slightly dry.

[Just... releasing magic?]

[But I have six Nascent Soul, which one should I release?]

He quickly calculated in his mind.

[The Water-Fire Mutual Aid Art... naturally, the ' Water and Fire Nascent Soul ' is the first choice.]

However, ordinary magic power might not be enough to help her break through to the Soul Formation...

[Then let's add... ' Nascent Soul of the Dragon '!]

[The true dragon, the ruler of all beings, possesses supreme power and can surely lend her a helping hand!]

Once he had this thought, he no longer hesitated.

With a thought, the intertwined red and blue [Water and Fire Nascent Soul] and the incomparably Wushuang [Nascent Soul of the Dragon] within the Purple Mansion instantly shone brightly!

"Boom--!"

Two completely different, yet equally vast and powerful magical forces merged instantly, transforming into a pure torrent visible to the naked eye, which surged into Shui Qingrou's body!

"Oh--!"

Shui Qingrou body trembled violently, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan that made everyone blush!

That magical power was simply too pure and too domineering!

The profound mystery of the fusion of water and fire, the supreme aura of the true dragon...

It instantly washed over her entire body, reaching deep into her soul!

She felt as if her Nascent Soul, like parched earth receiving sweet rain, was greedily and frantically devouring this power!

The exhilarating feeling of spiritual elevation almost made her lose herself in it!

[Wow... so powerful!]

[Is this... the magical power nurtured by a perfect Dao Foundation?]

Faced with this force, my bottleneck... actually... loosened!

Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, with her face like a peach blossom and her eyes glazed over, Dongfang Yueming felt a sudden dryness in his mouth.

[This... who can withstand this?]

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the agitation in his heart, and dared not move an inch.

Fortunately, Shui Qingrou did not take any further action.

After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes. The confusion in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by an unprecedented understanding and... gratitude.

"Thank you for your kindness, young master."

She straightened her clothes, her voice regaining some of its coolness, but her gaze towards Dongfang Yueming remained full of tenderness.

"The so-called ' Soul Formation ' is actually the complete merging of the nascent Nascent Soul, physical body, and divine soul into a ' Primordial Spirit '!"

"The Primordial Spirit is also divided into grades: low grade, middle grade, high grade, and supreme grade!"

"Once one achieves the Primordial Spirit, every action will contain the power of laws, Words Become Law law, and one's power will be boundless!"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yueming's heart stirred.

[Primordial Spirit... Laws...]

[I see.]

"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master." He bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Shui Qingrou smiled alluringly and leaned in again, a playful glint in her captivating eyes.

"Young master... do you really not want to... have a deeper... conversation?"

Dongfang Yueming froze, then fled in panic.

"Ahem... Well, since the sect leader has already found the opportunity, then I... won't disturb you any longer!"

Looking at that slightly disheveled figure, Shui Qingrou couldn't help but chuckle.

"What a... lovable nemesis."

She let out a long sigh, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

But it was quickly replaced by determination.

[Now that the opportunity has arrived...]

[Then... I'll go into seclusion!]

[This time, I vow not to leave seclusion until I break through to the Soul Formation!]
