Chapter 268

“Damn it! How did this seat start thinking in that direction? This seat is wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, with a flawless Dao heart. Why have strange thoughts and emotions been popping up recently? It’s all because of the dual cultivation of primordial spirits. This bastard’s primordial spirit is full of filthy things, polluting this seat’s Dao heart—damn it!

“I must hurry and absorb half of the Innate Radiance Essence, then either sever ties with this bastard Yang Chen or kill him outright to reinforce my Dao heart!”

Yu Yourong calmed herself and said in a deep voice: “Yang Chen, the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm is quite far from the Heavenly Dao Holy Land. While we have this time, continue transferring the Innate Radiance Essence to this seat! Our agreement was to transfer fifty percent, and now this seat hasn’t even received twenty percent!”

“Continue transferring the Innate Radiance Essence?” Yang Chen was slightly taken aback.

He knew this old woman’s ultimate purpose for summoning him was still this matter. But he didn’t refuse. That glimpse of the pristine ravine earlier had left him feeling a bit heated as well.

Dual cultivation of their primordial spirits would just so happen to let him relax a bit.

In the soul palace world, two primordial spirits pressed closely together, the Innate Radiance Essence passing between them.

Then, the primordial spirits began to meld. The sound of orioles chirping rang out intermittently. But compared to previous sessions, the frequency had noticeably increased, and the pitch was much higher.

In the soul palace space, day and night were indistinguishable.

Meanwhile, in the front hall, Yu Qingkong stood with his hands behind his back, somewhat helplessly saying: “It’s been five days, and the Holy Lord and Holy Son still haven’t come out! Now, all the major holy land-level forces have already begun entering the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm. We can’t keep waiting! We’ll set out in one hour!

“This time, while entering the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, we must stand united. If anyone turns against their fellow disciples, once we’re out, there will be no place for them in the Heavenly Dao Holy Land!”

Yu Qingkong spoke solemnly, while Yu Zun beside him had an especially dark and gloomy expression.

His aunt and that bastard Yang Chen had been alone together for five days.

What were they doing? Even if she were instructing that bastard Yang Chen in his cultivation, it didn’t have to be right now, did it? And for five straight days, no less. As his aunt’s nephew, she had never guided his cultivation so meticulously.

Yang Chen was just an outsider—why was his aunt so attentive to him?

Yu Zun glanced at Yu Xuan beside him. Seeing her gaze fixed on the spatial entrance, his eyes immediately filled with ferocity.

“Yang Chen, you bastard, just wait! This time in the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, I’ll make sure you die!”

[Ding! The host has spent five days alone with Yu Yourong. Yu Zun’s heart is filled with jealousy and hatred. Plundering 500 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Yu Zun. The host has gained 500 VPs! ]

In the soul palace world, as the fusion of their primordial spirits deepened, even Yang Chen’s consciousness began to gradually sink and lose itself.

The system’s voice rang in his mind, snapping him back to clarity.

“Five days!? Damn it, it’s been five days already! No, no, this has to stop. My weak Void Refinement Realm primordial spirit can’t withstand this old woman Yu Yourong’s torment!”

…

In the soul palace world, the two fused primordial spirits began to slowly separate. However, because it was Yang Chen who unilaterally ended it, and since his primordial spirit’s strength was far inferior to Yu Yourong’s, the separation process was very slow.

It took a full half-hour for the two intertwined primordial spirit forces to completely peel apart from each other.

One of them condensed into Yu Yourong’s voluptuous and graceful figure. The other condensed into Yang Chen’s figure.

However, unlike Yu Yourong, who radiated a pure and holy white light, Yang Chen’s face was filled with exhaustion.

“Damn it, five days—time really flies! Thank goodness the system’s voice reminded me in time. Otherwise, a few more days, and the foundation of my primordial spirit would’ve been damaged! Then it’d be a loss outweighing the gain—I’d be screwed!”

Watching Yu Yourong absorb the lingering Innate Radiance Essence on her body with a satisfied expression, Yang Chen felt a lingering fear. This old woman Yu Yourong was at the Tribulation Crossing Realm, her primordial spirit far more powerful than his.

This mismatched fusion caused an enormous drain on his primordial spirit’s strength. Right now, he only felt utter exhaustion in his primordial spirit. A sense of weakness surged from the depths of his soul, as if it were about to fall apart.

If it had continued for two more days, it would’ve absolutely affected the foundation of his primordial spirit.

Once the foundation of the primordial spirit was damaged, recovering wouldn’t be a matter of just one or two years. It could even impact his future cultivation and breakthroughs in realm.

Damn it. This old woman, lonely for four thousand years, was truly terrifying.

Yang Chen hurriedly sat cross-legged, waved his hand, and the Ten-Colored Poria rooted in the soul palace world instantly floated above his head. The ten-colored energy slowly sprinkled over his body, allowing him to recover slightly.

The sense of weakness deep in his soul also gradually faded. At the same time, a flood of memory fragments appeared in Yang Chen’s mind.

These memories naturally belonged to Yu Yourong. There were insights on cultivation. Scenes of battles. And even a few instances of her killing and seizing treasures.

This time, lasting five consecutive days, the memories were numerous and somewhat chaotic.

Before Yang Chen had a chance to sort through them, Yu Yourong’s voice sounded beside him: “Yang Chen, how much time has passed~?”

Yang Chen opened his eyes and saw Yu Yourong slowly walking toward him. Her voice had lost some of its usual disdain and had softened considerably.

Moreover, perhaps because she had absorbed enough of the Innate Radiance Essence, at this moment, her body exuded an intensely holy aura, like a radiant immortal maiden untainted by the mortal world.

There was no sign at all that she had just engaged in five days of dual cultivation of primordial spirits.

However, Yang Chen wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it much and simply said flatly: “Five days!”

“Five days!?” Yu Yourong’s expression immediately froze. “It’s actually been five whole days! No wonder the Innate Radiance Essence in my body has reached nearly thirty percent! With the amount of Innate Radiance Essence I currently wield, as long as I retreat and meditate on it for a while, I can easily pass the Primordial Spirit Tribulation. Even for the final tribulation, I now have the confidence to overcome it!

“Ordinary Tribulation Crossing cultivators might spend a thousand years preparing yet still not dare to face a single tribulation, but for this seat, the three tribulations of becoming an immortal are merely routine!

“Heh heh, perhaps this seat will become the fastest True Immortal in the history of the Kunlun Realm to pass the three tribulations of becoming an immortal!”
