Lu Yan still had two hundred and thirty drops of Three-eyed Tiger Emperor’s Blood in his hand.
"I’ll give you two hundred drops."
Lu Yan clenched his teeth and with a wave of his hand, two hundred drops of Three-eyed Tiger Emperor’s Blood flew toward the Dao Book.
The Dao Book devoured them all in one gulp.
Boom!
After consuming two hundred drops of Three-eyed Tiger Emperor’s Blood, the Dao Book burst forth with dazzling light, and a terrifying aura beyond description erupted from it.
Lu Yan felt as if the entire heaven and earth trembled for a mont, as an indescribable pressure emanated from the Dao Book.
A phoenix’s cry sounded from the Dao Book, piercing straight through to the Nine Layer Heaven.
In that mont, the Dao Book, in Lu Yan’s eyes, beca unreachably lofty, as imnse as the vast universe, unfathomable.
He felt as if facing a supre being, his sea of consciousness overrun by a phoenix too colossal to imagine.
"Is this phoenix the original form of the Dao Book, the slain Immortal Ancestor?"
A thought flashed through Lu Yan’s mind.
The dreadful aura on the Dao Book pressed directly toward the tal fragnt.
Humming...
The tal fragnt trembled violently, and those Tao Seals grew dim, slowly retracting back into the body of the tal fragnt.
Lu Yan distinctly felt the tal fragnt seeming to quiver in fear.
"It’s working..."
Lu Yan was spirited.
"Little fragnt, hurry up and surrender, prostrate yourself under sister’s pogranate skirt, or I’ll extinguish you."
Little Phoenix bellowed.
Lu Yan’s eyelids twitched.
What kind of wolfish words were these, could this be the true nature of the Dao Book?
As it continuously refined the Three-eyed Tiger Emperor’s Blood, the Dao Book’s aura grew stronger and stronger, its latent power seed to awaken, and the terrifying aura completely enveloped the tal fragnt, suppressing it without end.
The tal fragnt’s trembling beca more and more severe, its light dimr and dimr.
The glow on those stone pillars likewise dimd, including the carvings.
With the boost from the tal fragnt gone, the carvings’ power weakened, significantly reducing the pressure on Lu Yan, who navigated through the carvings with increasing ease.
With every slash of his, several carvings shattered, and although they could recover, their pace of restoration had slowed down a great deal.
Another mont passed.
Suddenly, all brands and aura within the tal fragnt retracted, turning ordinary, like a normal tal piece, quietly floating beside the Dao Book, re company like a little brother.
"Haha, Lu Yan, I’ve subdued this tal fragnt, it promises to follow from now on."
Little Phoenix’s voice resonated within Lu Yan’s sea of consciousness.
"Really?"
Lu Yan’s eyes shone brightly.
This was a Supre Treasure, and even just a corner of it was beyond asure in value. Should word spread, countless strong beings within the Creator Realm would fight tooth and nail for it.
And besides, having surrendered to the Dao Book, did it not indirectly belong to him?
"Of course, it’s true, absolutely certain."
Little Phoenix responded.
"Then have it stop the formation quickly."
Lu Yan said.
"No, this formation will activate automatically, it can only boost the formation, maximizing its power, but it cannot stop the formation. Anyone who enters the formation can only rely on themselves to get through."
Little Phoenix said.
"Is this also part of the test?"
Lu Yan pondered.
However, without the tal fragnt’s reinforcent, the carving’s power had greatly diminished, and despite their great number, they no longer posed a threat to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan moved forward, as he passed, all carvings shattered to pieces.
A short ti later, Lu Yan broke out of the Stone Pillar Forest, the path opening up before him.
Ahead was a flat platform, and at the end of the platform stood an imposing statue.
It was exactly like the one when he had entered.
Could this be the exit?
Lu Yan’s eyes lit up.
Whoosh!
The Dao Book flew over, the tal fragnt obediently following by its side.
"I’ve asked Xiao Yin, this is the exit,"
Little Phoenix said.
"Xiao Yin?"
"Yes, it is a corner of the Innate Magic Seal, so I call it Xiao Yin."
Little Phoenix said, then addressed the tal fragnt, "Xiao Yin, this is Lu Yan, from now on you’ll follow him."
"Follow him? Is he even worthy?"
A deep voice emanated from the tal fragnt.
Thump!
A phoenix wing extended from the Dao Book, smacking the tal fragnt, spinning it hundreds of tis.
"What the hell do you know, he’s not worthy? Are you questioning my judgnt?"
Little Phoenix’s voice ca out cold and stern.
"I dare not, I dare not, please calm down, Big Sister Dao Book."
The deep voice from the tal fragnt echoed again, with a tinge of panic.
"Xiao Yin, Big Sister has you following Lu Yan for your own good. You should know, Lu Yan is The Tao Soul Fetus, he has awakened the Tao Soul Pupil, and it took him less than four months to pass the seven trials of Sunken Ship Abyss. Not long ago, he also succeeded in creating a new technique. His future achievents are boundless, and reaching the True One State isn’t impossible."
"Under Big Sister’s aid, you might be able to recover in the future if you follow him,"
Little Phoenix advised earnestly.
"He...is truly The Tao Soul Fetus..."
The voice in the tal fragnt seed very surprised, and then fell silent as if contemplating.
After a while, the voice inside the tal fragnt spoke up again, "An awakened Tao Soul Fetus does indeed have the qualifications for to follow. It’s just that his cultivation level is too weak, incapable of enabling my recovery or unleashing my power."
"Cultivation level ans nothing here in the Origin Continent. As long as one has enough talent and resources, enhancing their cultivation level is actually the easiest thing to do. With the support of the Dragon Alliance, it’s a certainty that he will reach the Creator Realm in ti."
Little Phoenix said.
The tal fragnt remained silent, seemingly agreeing with the Dao Book’s statent.
"Lu Yan, your cultivation level is too weak to refine it just yet. But don’t worry, I have taken control of it. There’s no way it can stir up any trouble now. Let it join and enter your consciousness sea."
Little Phoenix said.
Lu Yan nodded, opened up his consciousness sea, and allowed the Dao Book along with the tal fragnt to enter within.
"Xiao Yin, are so True Beasts in the Innate Magic Realm imbued with the Tao Magic Seal because of you?"
Lu Yan asked.
The tal fragnt buzzed twice, clearly disliking the na, but after glancing at the Dao Book beside it, decided against objecting—better to avoid trouble when possible.
"Yes, I often leave this place and wander through the Innate Magic Realm. If I encounter True Beasts with strong talent, I will grant them the Tao Magic Seal."
"However, I am ultimately just a fragnt. My strength is far less than it was at its peak, and I can grant only so much; it often takes years to succeed just once."
Xiao Yin explained.
"Can you control those True Beasts then?"
Lu Yan asked.
"If I am in close contact, those True Beasts with the Tao Magic Seal will heed my commands."
Xiao Yin replied.
Lu Yan’s eyes lit up.
What a huge gain.
Putting aside Xiao Yin’s other functions, just this alone was of trendous significance.
If he could control a group of True Beasts with the Tao Magic Seal, wouldn’t he be unbeatable in this Innate Magic Realm?
"Right, you said you often leave this place. Does that an you can co and go freely?"
Lu Yan asked again.
"That statue ahead is the exit. Ordinary people can only leave and not enter, but with my help, you are not restricted by this."
Xiao Yin said.
"That’s great. This place might just serve as a good hiding spot."
Lu Yan said with a smile, then chatted a bit more with Xiao Yin before he turned his gaze toward the Leopard True Beast.
By then, the Leopard True Beast had already collapsed to the ground.
"I will control it."
Xiao Yin spoke up, and then with a flash of rosy light, a beam of light penetrated the Leopard True Beast’s body.
The Leopard True Beast obediently stood up, prostrated itself on the ground, and said, "Greetings to all the noble ones."
"It has been controlled by and will be completely obedient to you."
Xiao Yin said.
"You have indeed picked up a lifeline."
Lu Yan said with a smile.
He had initially planned to kill the Leopard True Beast, but since it was now under control, there was no need to do so, and he now had an additional fighter at his command.
Xiao Yin floated above Lu Yan’s head as the Leopard True Beast followed behind him, both heading toward the statue.
As they approached the statue, a vortex imdiately appeared on it.
Man and beast stepped into the vortex, and the next mont, they found themselves in a cave.
The cave was dark, suggesting it was underground.
Inside the cave stood a statue identical to the one they had seen before.
"Xiao Yin, try to see if you can take through."
Lu Yan said.
"Okay."
Xiao Yin responded, enveloping Lu Yan in a beam of light. Lu Yan stepped forward toward the statue, his body passing through it like a ripple in water, and he re-erged inside the ’Sunken Ship Abyss’.
Seeing it was possible, Lu Yan felt reassured. He passed through the statue and returned to the cave.
There was a passage at the front of the cave.
Lu Yan walked down the passage, and soon after, he flew out from a crack in the ground to the outside.
"I can sense that, three hundred li away, there is a True Beast imbued with the Tao Magic Seal," Xiao Yin’s voice ca from within the consciousness sea.
"Let’s go."
Following Xiao Yin’s guidance, Lu Yan quickly set off. However, upon arrival, Lu Yan hesitated.
Ahead, there was a True Beast covered in scales, resembling a crocodile, ambling slowly along. Its tail lashed out like lightning, striking a boulder, which instantly crumbled to pieces.
This True Beast exuded a terrifying presence, having reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Ninth Layer.
This was the summit of the Immortal Realm. Coupled with possessing a Tao Magic Seal, Lu Yan feared he might not be a match even with all his strength unleashed.
"As long as it bears the Tao Magic Seal, it will be suppressed by . I’ll go and ta it," Xiao Yin’s voice transmitted.
With a thought from Lu Yan, Xiao Yin flew out, emitting a powerful aura and enveloping the True Beast.
Initially, the True Beast roared in defiance, but then it showed a look of fear and knelt in submission, succumbing to Xiao Yin.
A mont later, the True Beast beca Lu Yan’s mount.
"Xiao Yin, can you ta True Beasts that don’t have the Tao Magic Seal?"
Lu Yan inquired.
"No," Xiao Yin responded, adding, "Also, don’t count on during battles with the enemy. I was able to enhance the strength of that formation earlier because it was of the sa origin as . Other formations won’t work. Your cultivation level is insufficient to revive ; during a large battle, I won’t be able to wield much power."
"Understood," Lu Yan said, nodding. "Sense again if there are any nearby True Beasts with the Tao Magic Seal."
"There are none within a thousand li. Beyond that distance, I cannot detect clearly," Xiao Yin stated.
Well, it seems I can only go find them.
Lu Yan vanished in a flash, disappearing like lightning.
