Two fox ladies ca side by side.
Despite their charming beauty and captivating allure, the lotus seals on their foreheads and white clothes added a touch of purity and sanctity.
Xin Ning's lovely face was full of innocent and adorable smiles, red and cute as an apple:
"Celestial Lord, you haven't had a drop of water for three days. Please rest for a mont. I've brought you so Lotus Dew~"
The girl's fluffy fox tail flicked, and a bamboo cylinder appeared in her hands, which she offered to Lu Yao.
Xin i said sowhat embarrassingly from the side:
"I already told her you were busy with important matters, but this girl insisted on coming over. I hope we haven't caused you any trouble."
Lu Yao took a sip from the bamboo cylinder and said with a smile amid the sweet fragrance:
"It's fine, the hardest part is over. You two just being by my side is enough."
Given his current soul strength, the earlier "space-opening" experints could only be perford twice a day at most.
The number of attempts it would take to succeed was unknown, so one could imagine there would be plenty of downti, perfect for keeping the two fox ladies' company.
Their consolations were the world's best form of relaxation and conducive to a "work-rest balance."
Hearing they could stay by Lu Yao's side, the two fox ladies were overjoyed.
Xin Ning was so excited that her fluffy tail waved back and forth, even shimring with a spiritual light.
Lu Yao couldn't resist reaching out to touch it, finding it silky smooth. He then looked at the bamboo cylinder in his hand and curiously asked:
"Right, did I just see you take sothing out of your tail?"
Xin Ning brought her tail in front of her and nodded, responding, "That's right, my tail naturally cos with a mustard seed space."
Xin i said with a hint of envy, "Xiao Ning has an exceptional talent. She was able to comprehend such a grand divine skill shortly after taking her Transformative Form."
The "mustard seed space" was, in essence, a "spatial pouch," with which Lu Yao was quite familiar.
Whether it was the tech-based Star Key or the spell-based rings, he had seen them often, so he didn't pay much attention.
However, Xin Ning demonstrated on the spot, and with a flick of her fluffy tail, she retrieved the "Blade of Freedom."
This scene had been seen by Ali the last ti she ca.
This was the first ti Lu Yao had witnessed it, and he exclaid in surprise, "No, this isn't an ordinary mustard seed space!"
He quickly grasped the fluffy tail in his hands and said, "Xiao Ning, do it again, let see."
Xin Ning, a bit nervous, gave her tail another shake, and with a flash of light, the "Blade of Freedom" was taken back in.
This ti Lu Yao saw everything clearly and imdiately showed a delighted expression, "This is actually a natural... Half Spirit Realm!"
The space inside Xin Ning's tail was not a simple "spatial pouch" created by technology or spells.
It was a natural "Half Spirit Realm," and the biggest difference lay in its "self-sustenance."
To put it plainly, "self-sustenance" refers to "placing" objects.
The "Half Spirit Realm" within Xin Ning's tail did not require its owner to maintain it and could exist on its own, with unrestricted access to its contents;
whereas a "spatial pouch" created by technology or spells required the user to provide energy whether for opening, closing, or maintaining its existence.
That was the biggest difference!
And the true "Spirit Domains" created by cultivators could not only self-sustain but also provide imnse support to their owners.
Regardless, the "Half Spirit Realm" inside Xin Ning's tail offered trendous insight and saved a great deal of energy.
At this mont, Lu Yao gently stroked the smooth and beautiful large tail, musing:
"You've been a great help upon your arrival, I mustn't underestimate the innate divine abilities of the Demon Race."
With her tail being touched and feeling both hot and itchy, Xin Ning's pretty face blushed with a crimson flush: "I'm glad I could be of help."
~~~~~~~~~~
It must be said that the concept of "fate" is quite wonderful; Lu Yao never expected to gain such vast insights for his path from a young fox lady.
With the company of the two fox ladies, his once dull and monotonous cultivation suddenly beca colorful and varied.
Lu Yao spent his days holding Xin Ning's tail and studying it, and when his divine thoughts were exhausted, he would rest under the Wutong Tree, using the sky as a blanket and the earth as a bed, to fully recuperate.
Such a cultivation thod was truly delightful, and 5 days passed by in the blink of an eye.
That day, as Lu Yao was helping with the acid testing, he spread out his five fingers, and a black crack appeared in his hand.
The crack slowly widened, much like a bubble forming in water, turning into a ping-pong-sized pitch-black space.
Lu Yao adjusted his fingers slightly, and the pitch-black space gradually beca transparent, resembling the appearance of a sapphire.
After playing with it for a while, he violently clenched his fist, and a sound similar to shattering glass "crackled" in the void.
The gem-like spherical space showed nurous fine cracks all around, but the entire space also stabilized.
At this mont, it could actually be held in hand, much like a real dazzling "sapphire."
Lu Yao toyed with it lightly for a mont and said with satisfaction, "Finally, it's done!"
The two busy won heard this and looked up, saying, "Has the Celestial Lord succeeded?"
Lu Yao patted their heads and said, "Mm, a fairly stable small space, it's mostly successful."
This space could probably exist for one or two years before naturally dissipating.
This was a "rehearsal", and Lu Yao's ultimate goal was to create a "Spirit Domain" inside his own body.
However, being able to achieve this step despite the distractions from the two girls, he believed there would be no more difficulties ahead.
The two Fox Ladies congratulated him repeatedly while also feeling a tinge of regret, as the man in front of them would soon be leaving again.
Indeed, Lu Yao handed the "sapphire"-like stable space to Xin i, saying,
"Next, I have to break through with all my effort and can't stay with you any longer. If you carefully ponder this object, you will definitely awaken your Innate Divine Ability related to space."
Xin i accepted it solemnly: "Thank you, Celestial Lord."
Xin Ning was very reluctant for Lu Yao to leave. Having spent a long ti with him, she had grown bolder and acquired a bit of a lively young girl's spirit.
At this mont, she suddenly hugged Lu Yao's arm to her chest, rubbing against it and cooed, "Celestial Lord, can't you leave tomorrow~"
Xin i quickly reacted and hugged Lu Yao's other arm, pleading together, "Stay just one more night."
Lu Yao was already soft-hearted and couldn't withstand their cajoling, so he simply said, "There's no rush, then I'll stay another night."
~~~~~~~~~
Early the next morning, it was ti to leave.
Lu Yao flew up to say goodbye to the Xuan Gui Great Saint himself:
"I have imposed upon you for many days, and I have now gained enough foundation, so I must take my leave."
Looking at Lu Yao, Xuan Gui Great Saint was filled with envy as he said, "Climbing step by step, comprehending the great way, how wonderful..."
He was born an Ancient Unique Breed, naturally endowed with formidable strength, but his imnse size also made it difficult to Transformative Form.
Then, the Xuan Gui Great Saint took a deep breath and shouted resoundingly, "I wish Immortal Lu success in advancing to the Jin Realm!"
His shout drew upon the will of heaven and earth, and Lu Yao suddenly felt an additional asure of confidence.
And this was indeed similar to the Taoist technique of the "Word Spirit Decree".
Being a Water-Series Sacred Beast born during the era of the three sovereigns and five emperors, the Xuan Gui Great Saint certainly had extraordinary traits.
Lu Yao bowed with a fist and said, "Thank you for your auspicious words, Great Saint!"
This Lao Gui was worth making a deep connection with, no wonder he had good relations with several saintly emperors. Lu Yao made up his mind that he should repay the kindness if an opportunity arose.
...
After waving goodbye to everyone, Lu Yao soared into the sky and returned to Imperial City.
Xin i and Xin Ning watched as the man completely disappeared from sight, before reluctantly making their way back.
Hardly taking a few steps, Xin i frowned, walking with an unnatural limp.
Demon Foxes were naturally clingy, but taking too much still resulted in injury.
At that mont, she glanced at the oblivious and bouncing Xin Ning, secretly sighing at the girl's talent, which was rarely seen even in the history of the whole Demon Race.
What was originally destined to be wasted, with that man around, was sure to have a different future.
