Fights Break Sphere: I have five palaces for receiving energy

The Danhe clan chief's enthusiastic introduction passed by Xiao Yuan's ears, but it did not truly enter his mind.

His steps appeared leisurely, but in reality, each step was precisely placed on the nodes where the spiritual energy of the Dan Shen Clan's earth veins flowed. His boundless soul power was like invisible mercury, silently permeating every inch of the surrounding space with each step he took.

Under the cover of "strolling and chatting," Xiao Yuan conducted the most thorough investigation of the Dan Shen Clan right under the nose of the clan leader.

Yao Chen followed beside Xiao Yuan, and although he tried his best to remain calm, the tension and anticipation in his eyes could not be hidden at all. Xiao Yan, who was standing next to him, naturally understood that this matter had been a knot in his teacher's heart for so many years, and now that it was finally going to be resolved, it was natural that he could not control his emotions.

After wandering around for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yuan finally managed to thoroughly explore the Dan Continent, where the Dan God Clan was located.

There are three places that even Xiao Yuan's soul power could not explore without alerting the Pill God Clan.

There was a place that seemed to be the secluded cultivation site of the Dan Shen Clan's ancestor. According to Xiao Yuan's senses, the ancestor seemed to be at a critical juncture in his breakthrough. Unless he wanted to exterminate the clan, he was unlikely to make a move.

There was another place, which seemed to be the ancestral hall of the Dan God Clan. It had been reinforced with a barrier for many years, making it impossible to penetrate.

Xiao Yuan believed that the last place was the most likely location.

It was a valley with special restrictions, similar to super sensitive skin, the kind that would immediately trigger an alarm if touched.

But Xiao Yuan could sense an aura of the same origin as his own there, which was clearly the soul imprint he had planted on Han Shanshan.

So, Xiao Yuan flew directly in the direction he sensed.

Although this may seem like a lack of respect for the patriarch of the Dan Shen Clan, Xiao Yuan could suppress even the clan's ancestor if he were to come. In the vast world, respect is ultimately based on strength.

If you lack the ability but still want to save face, then you can only hope that the other party is willing to give it to you.

Xiao Yuan came this time to save people, so naturally he didn't have much time to waste on such formalities.

The reason why the Dan Shen Clan can develop peacefully and why that ancestor can go into seclusion is ultimately because the people of the Great Thousand Palace are fighting against the evil races outside the domain. Xiao Yuan's battle achievements over the years are comparable to the total battle achievements of some forces over several years. Both in terms of reason and emotion, Xiao Yuan has a reason to act, so he naturally doesn't need to pay too much attention to those so-called rules.

Seeing Xiao Yuan make a move, Xiao Yan immediately led Yao Lao to follow and kill him. Dan He and the others were also shocked and quickly followed.

Xiao Yuan stopped before the valley, and after everyone had caught up, he said calmly:
"Chief Danhe, let's stop our stroll here for now. I've found the person I'm looking for."

His words reached everyone's ears with crystal clarity, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

"what?!"

The Danhe clan chief and several elders' expressions changed drastically as they looked at Medicine King Valley, one of the clan's forbidden areas, with suspicion and uncertainty.

They had thought that a large-scale search of their clansmen would still be needed. The continent of Dan was large enough that they could buy enough time to search by wandering around. They never expected that Xiao Yuan could so easily and accurately pinpoint the location of the person they were looking for. This was simply unbelievable!
The faces of Yao Lao and Xiao Yan also showed joy. They had always trusted Xiao Yuan's perception.

Chief Danhe quickly frowned. This area was one of the three true forbidden areas of the clan, and even he could not easily enter it. Usually, only the ancestor would enter it.

But Yuan Tianzun is not someone to be trifled with. If he were to obstruct me, even if the Ancestor were to emerge from seclusion, he might not be able to protect himself.

"Lord Yuan, this place is a forbidden area for our clan, this..."

However, as the clan chief, Danhe still had to show some attitude, so he offered a token rebuke.

“I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong. I must save the person. My personal favor is more important than certain rules. My younger brother Xiao Yan was able to fight against the entire Fire Spirit Clan on his own. Today, even if I, Xiao Yuan, were to fight against the entire Pill God Clan, it would be a matter of turning my hand over my arm. Clan Chief Danhe should consider the reputation of his clan more.”

Xiao Yuan didn't take action immediately; instead, he patiently tried to persuade him.

Danhe understood what Xiao Yuan meant.

In other words, if this matter were resolved on a small scale, everything would be fine. Yuan Tianzun and Yan Di would be able to welcome back their master's wife, and the Dan Shen Clan would be able to gain the friendship of two towering giants.

But if things escalate and the Dan Shen Clan gets a beating, then they'll have to sit at the same table as the Huo Ling Clan.

It should be noted that the Pill God Clan was much stronger than the Fire Spirit Clan in the past. After all, they were capable of refining all kinds of pills and never lacked cultivation resources or powerful individuals.

In every respect, the Dan Shen Clan is superior to the Huo Ling Clan.

If we end up like the Fire Spirit Clan, becoming someone else's background, that would be incredibly embarrassing!

"The Dan Shen Clan has always been happy to help others, especially since Yuan Tianzun has come to ask for your help in person. Even if it means entering this forbidden area, my Danhe will do his best to assist you. However, I rarely enter such places and do not know the details. I only know that a senior who had a close relationship with my Dan Shen Clan passed away here many years ago. Therefore, I ask Yuan Tianzun to refrain from making any big movements after entering the area, so as not to disturb the deceased."

After saying that, Danhe held the token and released the restriction.

Without much thought, Danhe immediately backed down. Although he tried to save face, his words implied that as long as the commotion inside couldn't get out, he would pretend not to know even if Xiao Yuan dug up the grave.

Of course, this is Xiao Yuan's reading comprehension.

"Don't worry, I have always respected my seniors the most, and I will definitely be careful. You can just wait outside."

Xiao Yuan nodded with a faint smile, then flew directly into the forbidden area.

After a spatial distortion, Xiao Yuan entered the interior of the valley. The space inside the valley was far more expansive than what was visible from the outside. In the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was almost like mist, grew exotic flowers and rare herbs that had long since disappeared from the outside world.

In the very center of the space, a statue radiating a gentle jade light floated. The statue sat cross-legged with its eyes closed. Although the clothes were different, Xiao Yuan was quite familiar with the face. It was the same face of the Medicine Emperor he had seen in the Dou Qi Continent.

Above the statue's head, a very faint wisp of mist lingered, as if it might extinguish at any moment.

In the mist, Han Shanshan's faintly discernible, illusory face, seemingly asleep, appeared and disappeared.

Her soul essence was almost completely integrated into the Medicine Emperor's soul aura emanating from the statue. If it weren't for the faint six-colored mark between her eyebrows stubbornly flashing a ray of light, protecting the soul essence belonging to "Han Shanshan", her consciousness would probably have been assimilated or dissipated over the long years.

"Fortunately, as my strength increased, the energy of my soul imprint was also replenished; otherwise, my master's wife's soul would probably have dissipated long ago."

Looking at the six-colored mark, Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Xiao Yuan sensed that the statue was not a completely inanimate object. It seemed to contain a wisp of spiritual light left behind by the Medicine Emperor before his death, which was meant to protect this place. However, this spiritual light did not have much intelligence and was not easy to communicate with. It should dissipate in a few years.

But after sensing it for a moment, Xiao Yuan felt relieved.

This Medicine Emperor seemed to be nearing the end of his lifespan, and his attempt to become a Heavenly Supreme failed, leading to his demise.

That single glimmer of spiritual light couldn't stop him at all.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Yuan sat down cross-legged, his soul power extending out like the most precise scalpel.

He carefully integrated his soul power into the swirling mist, cautiously avoiding conflict with the Medicine Emperor's power, and aimed precisely at the fragile Primordial Soul Imprint between Han Shanshan's brows. This process was extremely mentally taxing, and the slightest carelessness could damage his master's wife's last remaining essence.

"Primordial Soul Seal, Reversing the Flow of Time!"

Xiao Yuan gave a low shout, and the clan mark between his eyebrows suddenly lit up.

The spiritual power of the vast world that he had fused and transformed within him, along with a trace of the immense power that had been ignited from the bloodline of the Dou Di and was capable of transcending time and space, surged wildly into Han Shanshan's soul light point through the "bridge" of the Soul Imprint.

This is a thrilling process of battling against the river of time!

He wanted to trace back to her "past" state—the state that had been diluted and tainted by the power of the Medicine Emperor and the erosion of time—to the state when she had just fallen into this forbidden land under the protection of the Soul Seal!
Visibly, the swirling mist began to fluctuate violently, and the immense aura belonging to the Medicine Emperor was gradually repelled and stripped away by an even more powerful invisible force.

At the same time, Han Shanshan's almost illusory face began to become clear and solid, her illusory body gradually gained outline, and the soul imprint between her eyebrows shone even brighter.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Yuan's forehead. Maintaining this almost heaven-defying secret technique was extremely taxing.

Fortunately, Xiao Yuan's foundation was extremely terrifying. He had even killed the Heavenly Demon Emperor, who was comparable to a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign. In fact, his current abilities were no weaker than those of a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign. With a thought, a vast spiritual body of chaotic color condensed in Xiao Yuan's mind.

This is Xiao Yuan's Celestial Venerable Spirit Body, the Primordial Six Qi Body.

At this stage, his physical body can transform into the purest spiritual body at any time, possessing extraordinary combat power. At the same time, he can also become one with the world, and the spiritual power within his body is almost inexhaustible, with every drop capable of transforming into rivers and seas, as heavy as mountains.

Xiao Yuan does not need to assimilate with any of the heavens and earth.

This is also why he dared to invade the Demon Realm.

It should be noted that the spiritual energy in the Demon Realm has long been corrupted and is unusable.

However, since the Qi Palace within Xiao Yuan's body merged, it has evolved over the years and formed its own world.

Although it cannot compare to an entire continent like the Dan Shen Clan's territory, it is still sufficient for Xiao Yuan's use.

Moreover, Xiao Yuan had already secretly connected the node of that world with the Endless Fire Domain. If necessary, he could directly call upon the energy of the Endless Fire Domain. After advancing to the Saint Rank, his inner world would evolve and upgrade again. At that time, he could even allow Xiao Yan to jump directly into Xiao Yuan's inner world through the spatial node to provide him with support.

Such an extraordinary effect is currently unknown to anyone except Xiao Yan.

"Congeal!"

Finally, with a soft shout from Xiao Yuan, all the strange phenomena instantly subsided.

A clear, solid female soul, radiating a faint spiritual light, floated in mid-air.

She still had her eyes closed and was in a deep sleep, but she was no longer a wisp of light that could dissipate at any moment; she was a complete soul!

The wisp of mist that had been stripped away slowly drifted back into the statue, making its light seem even softer and deeper.

"The soul is complete. The next step is to return to the body!"

Without pausing, a glint of light flashed in Xiao Yuan's eyes, and a pill radiating a chaotic glow flew out of his storage ring.

The Supreme Fusion Pill is a celestial-grade pill refined by Xiao Yuan. Even if the soul of a Celestial-grade Heavenly Sovereign is damaged, this pill can help him recover to his peak state. The medicinal materials are extremely difficult to find. Xiao Yuan was able to refine the pill only after consulting with Lin Dong and Ling Qingzhu about the ethereal Supreme Power.

The next moment, Xiao Yuan waved his hand and unleashed a beam of light, which landed and transformed into a spiritual body crafted from a variety of top-grade natural treasures.

The advantage of this spirit body over an ordinary body is that it can perfectly fuse with the soul, giving it the most compatible physical body. Moreover, this spirit body was jointly crafted by Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, and it contains an Eight Divine Meridian that is extremely rare even in the Great Thousand World!
If things go as expected, after Han Shanshan is resurrected, she will at least be at the Great Perfection of the Earthly Sovereign level. Once she becomes familiar with and masters her own spiritual body and the power that has surged due to the Taiyi Fusion Pill, she will be able to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign level.

Xiao Yuan used his spiritual power to support Han Shanshan's soul and gently placed it above her spirit body. The Taiyi Fusion Pill instantly transformed into a stream of seven-colored light and entered Han Shanshan's soul.

A pure and harmonious power of the soul spread out, forming a colorful bridge that perfectly connects the soul and the body.

"The soul returns to its rightful place, and the body and soul unite as one!"

Xiao Yuan formed the final profound hand seal with both hands, and a gentle soul wave entered the space between the brows of the soul body.

In an instant, a brilliant seven-colored light shone brightly, filling the entire forbidden area.

A powerful surge of life swept through the forbidden area like a storm, causing all the rare medicinal herbs within to sway wildly and release a rich medicinal fragrance.

After a long while, the light slowly faded, and the body on the ground slowly opened its eyes.

Those were eyes that held the bewilderment of someone just awakening, yet were as clear and pure as crystal.

She blinked, her gaze slowly shifting, seemingly still a little unaccustomed to it.

Finally, her gaze fell on the only living person in the area—Xiao Yuan.

"you are?"

Han Shanshan looked at the handsome face in front of her and felt that it was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite remember who it was.

“Master’s wife, come with me. Master is still waiting for you outside.”

Xiao Yuan smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, Han Shanshan frowned slightly, and her mind exploded with a flood of memories. Long-forgotten memories surged forth, flashing through her mind as if played at double speed, finally settling on the image of a handsome young man's firm promise.

"There will be a day when we meet again! Mrs. Han, I will reunite you with your teacher."

"You are... Yao Chen's disciple?"

Han Shanshan finally remembered, and the smile on her face softened a bit. Yao Chen's disciple, then naturally he was her disciple.

"Yes, disciple Xiao Yuan greets Master's Wife!"

Xiao Yuan never puts on airs when dealing with his elders; he directly performs a grand ceremony to greet his teacher's wife.

"You silly child, get up, get up! Yao Chen is outside, isn't he? Take me to see him!"

When Han Shanshan offered her sacrifice, she was still an unmarried girl and had never seen such a scene before. She was quite embarrassed and ran over through the void to help Xiao Yuan up.

"Please come with me, Master's wife."

After Xiao Yuan stood up, he waved his hand and took Han Shanshan into his inner world to prevent any accidents from happening when passing through the restriction.

With one step, his figure vanished like a phantom, and after a moment of distortion in the surrounding space, Xiao Yuan emerged from the valley.

"How about it?"

Upon seeing Xiao Yuan emerge, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan hurriedly went to greet him.

Xiao Yuan waved his hand, and a streak of light landed beside him; it was Han Shanshan.

"Master, your disciple has not failed you!"

Xiao Yuan smiled.

"Yao Chen? You look much more mature!"

Han Shanshan looked at the familiar face, which was still handsome but clearly much more mature than the young man in her memory, and teased him with a smile.

The old doctor opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"Sister's back! Aren't you happy to welcome her?"

Han Shanshan understood everything from Yao Chen's eyes. The corners of her mouth slowly turned up, revealing a smile that Yao Chen knew all too well.

Immediately, she stepped forward and embraced the person who, despite having experienced many hardships, still blushed at her teasing, just like before.

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan watched this scene quietly, both with gratified smiles on their faces.

Finally, there's a result... (End of Chapter)
