The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan stopped dawdling and pulled Qing Lanyu along as they entered the passage together.

The moment he entered, Qing Lanyu's figure vanished, leaving only Chen Xuan behind.

This passage is also very long, seemingly without end.

"No, where's my main meal? Where's Fairy Qinglan? She's nowhere to be found!" Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask Bixiao, but all he got in return was silence.

"Never mind, it's probably an opportunity they don't want others to see. I'll take it first!"

After saying that, Chen Xuan walked forward.

He walked for an unknown amount of time before finally reaching the end.

At the end, there was an enormous pair of scissors, lying across the middle of an oriental dragon. And yes, it cut the dragon to death in one swift motion.

As for why he called it a dragon, it's because Chen Xuan couldn't recognize which race of dragons it belonged to, and its corpse was too enormous, so he called it a dragon, an Eastern dragon.

"What do you mean, fairy sister? You've given me such a huge dragon, I can't possibly take it with me! Do you expect me to dig out its dragon pearl?"

“It’s not a dragon; I made it a personification,” Bixiao explained.

"Concretization? You mean...it's the Way of Heaven!"

"The Heavenly Dao? It doesn't even deserve that title! It's nothing more than an evil creature that has developed sentience in the secret realm and keeps reaping the growth of all living beings! And it dares to call itself the Heavenly Dao?"

Bixiao Fairy's tone was extremely disdainful. In her opinion, only a Heavenly Dao Saint like Hongjun Ancestor would dare to call himself that. The rest were all worthless rotten fish and shrimp!

"Oh? Fairy sister, you've seen this kind of creature before? Has it ever appeared in our primordial world?"

"Us? You've got a lot of secrets, kid! And you seem to know a lot about me!"

"Ahem, we're all family, we're all family!!"

"With Ancestor Hongjun around, such creatures dare not come to the prehistoric world. However, I have seen quite a few that have become powerful in some lower realms, and they have already formed their own worlds."

"Did you kill it?"

"No, these self-contained worlds already have a lot of rules and methods, and they're all very slippery; you can't catch them at all!"

"I see, so the fairy sister is planning to..."

"Your new cultivation system is quite interesting. I'd like to materialize the spirit of this secret realm and let you absorb it and try it out!"

"Hiss!" Chen Xuan gasped.

Is this what a big shot is like? Even someone as powerful as Lin Rou was endlessly exploited by him, but in the hands of the fairy sister, he was just an experimental subject who could be crushed with a flick of her wrist!

"Sister, I'm hungry, I need food!"

Bixiao Fairy: "???"

This is nothing!

"Go away, you brat, hurry up! Don't give me that nonsense!" Fairy Bixiao said irritably.

"I've looked at your new system. You should absorb that spirit of the secret realm first. Although I killed it this time, the dead are still usable. It's just that we won't have your so-called immortal spirit. Such an evil creature, it's fine if we don't have it!"

"This thing has absorbed the power of countless living beings. If I were to absorb it, I'd be bursting!"

"You're quite cautious. Don't worry, I've already distributed its energy into this small world, so you won't have any major problems!"

As for this small world, it is itself the spirit of a secret realm. After you absorb it, it will probably become your small world as well!

"Hehe, then I'll gladly accept your offer, fairy sister!" Chen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and rushed forward, grabbing the corpse of the Eastern dragon and beginning to absorb it.

In an instant, he felt a vast and powerful aura surge into his body, flowing through his meridians and eventually converging in his dantian, where it merged with his nascent soul.

"boom!!!"

Chen Xuan felt a tremor in his dantian, as if something was breaking out of its shell. The primordial energy in his dantian began to circulate wildly, surging like ocean waves and spreading in all directions.

Chen Xuan remained calm and composed, circulating the Tao Te Ching to continuously absorb this power and transform it into his own Yuan Power. At the same time, he also injected this power into his Nascent Soul, causing the Nascent Soul to undergo tremendous changes.

The nascent soul, which was originally only the size of a palm, had now grown into a nascent soul the size of an adult, radiating golden light and looking radiant and full of power.

As Chen Xuan absorbed the energy, the entire dragon's body slowly disappeared.

"The Tao Te Ching... It seems he truly is a being from the primordial era. In that case, it'll be much easier to talk to him. It's not in vain that I brought him this good fortune!"

"call......"

Chen Xuan took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. He saw that his clothes were already tattered and he looked disheveled.

However, Chen Xuan paid no attention to any of this. Instead, he looked at his hands with a face full of surprise and muttered to himself, "Is this the strength of the fourth level of the Void Refinement stage? It is indeed incredibly powerful. Compared to before, it is like heaven and earth!"

"Even if my beautiful master's wife, Long Yuyan, were here now, she probably wouldn't be a match for me..."

However, before Chen Xuan could be happy for long, his cultivation level regressed back to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Chen Xuan: "??????"

“Your foundation is too weak. Once you solidify your foundation, I will untie it for you!” Bixiao’s explanation echoed in his mind.

"I see, thank you so much, fairy sister!"

"So, how was it? Did you notice any changes after absorbing the spirit of the secret realm?"

"Changes are inevitable," Chen Xuan replied.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was teleported away and returned to the outside world.

After all, the spirit of the secret realm had already been absorbed by him, so the secret realm itself no longer existed, including the Tianyuan Valley outside.

At this moment, everyone was teleported back.

"Never mind, I'll come find you tonight and we can talk in detail then. You go ahead and do your thing!"

"Okay, thank you so much, fairy sister!"

"Chen Xuan! What happened to you? What happened?" Long Yuyan spotted Chen Xuan, who was dressed in tattered clothes, in the crowd and rushed forward to ask.

Rouwu also saw Chen Xuan, who was dressed in rags, but she chose to turn her head away and not look at him.

Zhu Zhu saw Long Yuyan step forward and followed, but dared not show anything, her little mouth pouting high.

"Uh, there's been a small problem, but it's not a big deal!" Chen Xuan explained with a smile.

He looked back at the crowd but didn't see Qing Lanyu. He figured she must have already returned to Old Ancestor Qingshan's side.
