Chapter 1143 - 749: Yin Yang Dharma King

Chapter 1143: Chapter 749: Yin Yang Dharma King

Shen Xuan rose, his robe sleeve gently flicking, his eyes quiet.

Four years ago, Mysterious Trace True Master took over the position of Deputy Island Master, significantly lightening his burden.

Qin Yuehan was able to calmly cultivate the Element Transformation Technique, preparing for the future condensation of the Fake Pill.

Time was pressing, as aging could not be delayed.

Qin Yuehan had experienced the taste of island leadership and had enough of it.

For her, it was ultimately the way of a supportive wife; there was no need to constantly be in the forefront, exhausting herself.

Once the Fake Pill was condensed, exercising divine powers was secondary.

The most important thing was increasing one’s lifespan.

In the Fake Pill Realm, lifespan barely exceeded four hundred years.

After Qin Yuehan condensed the True Pill, with Shen Xuan’s full support, complemented by the Longevity Pill,

her lifespan could reach over five hundred years.

Additionally, Shen Xuan also passed the Element Transformation Technique to Long Xiaoyun.

He straightforwardly explained the three major conditions for Fake Pill condensation.

"When I reach the Nascent Soul, I will help you condense your Fake Pill."

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyun was slightly startled and then appeared excited.

She immediately bowed deeply, her voice trembling: "Island Master’s great kindness, Xiaoyun will never forget! From today onward, my family line on Golden Dragon Island, dual cultivators of the body and technique, will serve Starlight Island to the death."

Shen Xuan shook his head with a smile, helping her up.

"No need for such gravity between us."

"You are also a teacher at my academy; just calmly educate the disciples. Do good deeds, without worrying about the future."

The path is long, and having someone by one’s side to help is an additional strength.

The Spirit-Body Dual Cultivators of Golden Dragon Island, though few, are quite powerful.

Among the Long family members on Starlight Island, they hold a transcendent status.

Currently, on Starlight Island, there are thousands of Long family members and their relatives.

The majority are in the Golden Body Realm.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

Moreover, behind them stands the Long family of Golden Dragon Island.

This is a Nascent Soul level force that Shen Xuan deliberately allied with.

Long Xiaoyun’s realm is the highest: Body Refining in the Dharma Realm, Spirit Cultivation False Pill Realm.

She has been teaching at the Starlight Island Academy, the young leader of the Long family on the island.

Compared to the mature and stable Long Zhijiao, the ambitious Long Xiaoyun is more worthy of Shen Xuan’s investment and alliance.

...

That morning.

Shen Xuan left the Cold Ice Cave and walked directly to the Purple Essence Divine Tree.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated; the lush crown of the Purple Essence Divine Tree stretched in the dim light.

Two spirited aerial roots suddenly extended from the crown, hugging each other decoratively and waving towards Shen Xuan.

"Good morning, Island Master!"

An innocent, child-like voice echoed from the trunk with newly learned solemnity.

Shen Xuan paused, laughter dancing in his eyes.

He knew this was a new etiquette that Zi Ning had learned.

With Shen Xuan’s careful guidance over the years, this transformed tree left from the remains of the Purple Essence Tree Emperor steadily increased its intelligence, gradually considering itself a "cultivator."

Though it had not yet transformed, its foundations were solid.

For nearly a century, rooted in the Spirit Vein of Starlight Island, nourished by Spiritual Qi day and night.

If all goes well, transformation is merely a matter of time.

Perhaps only three to five hundred years are needed.

These three to five hundred years are but a blink for the Purple Essence Divine Tree with a lifespan measured in millennia.

"Here."

Shen Xuan tossed a beast skin bag.

Inside the bag was meat from the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito King, specially kept by him.

He dismantled the Mosquito King’s skeleton.

Preparing to bury it in the corpse-nurturing array to nurture the broken Nine Netherworld corpse dragon.

Next to the Purple Essence Divine Tree, Shen Xuan arranged an extreme corpse-nurturing array, gathering Yin Qi from various demon beast bones to slowly repair the dragon’s remains.

Those flesh scraps became Zi Ning’s snacks.

"Good meat!"

Zi Ning happily "received" the bag, deftly unraveling the string with a spiritual branch, scanning it with demonic knowledge, her voice gleeful.

"Be careful."

Shen Xuan warned: "The toxins are not completely purified, some residues remain."

Though he had purified most of the mosquito poison, a little residue still lingered.

However, this bit of toxicity seemed like seasoning to Zi Ning.

"Don’t worry, Island Master!"

Zi Ning nonchalantly replied: "I like a bit of spice!"

Shen Xuan shook his head with a smile.

Turning, he pointed a technique.

Ripples appeared in the void ahead, revealing scenes within the array.

In the center of the extreme corpse-nurturing array, the skeletal remains of the Nine Netherworld corpse dragon stood, entwined by dense, suffocating grey-black corpse-fiend Qi.

All around, a mountainous pile of various demon beast skeletons released Yin Qi, slowly being absorbed by the dragon’s remains.

Shen Xuan buried the leftover bones from the Mosquito King into a focal point before retreating from the array, waving away the marks.

Behind him came a sound like "hissing," resembling chewing or the inhalation and exhalation of Spirit Qi.

Zi Ning was "eating" delightfully, though suddenly her voice held a hint of grievance: "Island Master, the meat is good, but there’s too little of it!"

Shen Xuan turned back, seeing those two aerial roots swaying in the air, appearing to be demanding.

"Don’t be cheeky!"

The tone is warm, the gaze kind: "Refine properly, don’t waste it."

To him, Zi Ning is always a child.

But if this child could truly transform smoothly one day...

Shen Xuan looked at the towering verdant divine tree, his mind stirred.

If the Purple Essence Divine Tree, with its millennial lifespan, could fully master the Primordial Longevity Fiend Technique, its future achievements would be immeasurable.

It could become the true guardian spirit of Starlight Island.

In the same tier among the Demon Emperors, a nearly unrivaled presence.

Morning light brightened, spreading a hazy purple hue across the crown.

Shen Xuan stood with hands behind his back, a subtle smile on his lips.

The future is long.

Some seeds are worth tending patiently.

The Purple Tree Divine Tree is one of them.

The Starlight Island Research Institute is among them as well.

...

Upon returning to the island, Shen Xuan unceremoniously took over True Master of Spirit Refining’s position, also serving as deputy head of the puppet research institute.

The path of puppets is considered extremely obscure in the Cultivation Realm.

Strictly speaking, it is a branch of the artifact refining skill.

Ordinary cultivators find it challenging to unleash the combat power of their puppets at the same tier.

A true Puppet Master must also practice the Puppet Control Technique.
