The alluring body of a cultivator from a high realm emitted a strong attraction.

Song Yan pretended to be captivated as he looked at her and said, "I'll come back tomorrow."

...

In the days that followed, Song Yan occasionally assisted the disciples of the Formless Ancient Race under the guise of "Formless Celestial Venerable". He helped solve troublesome enemies for the disciples of the Formless Ancient Race while they traveled outside.

His actions were terrifying; with a single move, he could directly suppress even an ordinary Divine Infant. When encountering a Celestial Calamity Beast, merely a wave of his "Hundred Forms Life and Death Stake" could cause a swath of death.

Because of this, the Formless Ancient Race became increasingly prominent. Supported by the "True Spirit Fragment" and the "powerful family background," the strength of the ancient race disciples advanced rapidly.

Tang Xiaoxuan, seeing Song Yan's prowess, almost never needed to take action himself and began preparing for the journey to the Void Ruins.

Song Yan's routine returned to include "Skin Making," "Array Observation," "gathering some treasures and elixirs," "cultivating the secret techniques discovered by the ancient race," and... getting intimate with Ancestor Ningxin.

Gradually, someone took up residence in the house opposite his.

It was An Li.

An Li transformed into a doctor, beginning to heal and treat the severely injured of the ancient race. Sometimes, she would leave the ancestral veins to roam, personally gathering some precious herbs or attending to important cultivators serving the ancient race.

However, Song Yan treated her like a stranger, with none of the original closeness.

One day, after completing a skin-making session, he came back to the Celestial Pool.

Ancestor Ningxin smiled at him and said, "Are you sure you don't want An Li? You should know, she's just an innocent female cultivator, and such female cultivators are quite precious."

Song Yan said, "But the human heart isn't big. If it holds Miss Ningxin, it can't hold Miss An Li."

"Miss Ningxin?"

Ancestor Ningxin was momentarily stunned, then burst into soft laughter.

She lifted her hand to toss her hair, suddenly tilting her head, and asked, "How long has it been?"

Song Yan chuckled softly.

Ancestor Ningxin's expression became enchanting, and she said gently, "You've done well lately; my Formless Ancient Race has already become the premier race within the Ancient Race Alliance..."

She suddenly tightened her legs, glanced over, and mockingly said, "Do I still have to spread them myself?"

Her simple words carried an indescribable allure.

Song Yan pounced on her, crashing together into the golden-lit Celestial Pool, sinking into the depths with the ancestor entwined in his arms...

For a long while...

The two of them nestled under the old tree by the Celestial Pool, whispering sweet nothings to each other, causing envy.

The Divine Maiden in blue suddenly pulled out a dragon-patterned black bracelet from her storage bag and stuffed it into Song Yan's hand.

Song Yan asked curiously, "What is this?"

The Divine Maiden in blue said, "The Black Dragon Bracelet, it contains a single Divinity Transformation level attack, which can save your life at a critical moment. It's the treasure of our family, and now it's yours."

Song Yan couldn't help but recall something Ancestor Ningxin said many years ago: "I am one of the weakest later stages of the Divine Infant. If strong individuals from other races learn of it, it's possible we won't even be able to defend the secret realm."

Truly, those who believe are doomed.

He accepted the bracelet and said, "Ningxin, you're really good to me."

The Divine Maiden in blue gently embraced him and said tenderly, "You are Ningxin's future partner. If Ningxin isn't good to you, who else would she be?"

Ningxin also thought that on the day the Void Ruins open, the Mountain and Sea Demon Race might launch a full-scale invasion to significantly reduce the number of our ancient race heading to the Void Ruins.

Loved one, the nine-child Demon Mother and the Great Demon of the Mountain and Sea covet the secret treasure you hold... The Great Demon of the Mountain and Sea might not be able to enter the ruins, but the many celestial demons of the nine-child Demon Mother definitely can.

Loved one, please remember to be cautious and seize the opportunity to leave the nine-child Demon Mother there forever, only then can we be at ease."

After witnessing Song Yan's invincible demeanor on each occasion as the "Formless Celestial Venerable," the Divine Maiden in blue changed her address from "little one" to "loved one," and began referring to herself as "Ningxin."

Song Yan said seriously, "The nine-child Demon Mother thinks the same. At that time, when nine locks bind together, or if she directly attacks me, I may not even have the chance to use this Black Dragon Bracelet."

After speaking, he sighed heavily.

The Divine Maiden in blue looked at him speechlessly.

Doesn't everyone know each other? Song Yan obviously thinks one treasure isn't enough; he wants more.

Ancestor Ningxin pondered for a moment, then retrieved a dragon-patterned white bracelet from the void and handed it over, saying, "This is the White Dragon Bracelet. Black Dragon for offense, White Dragon for defense.

Once attacked by something above the Divine Infant level, the White Dragon Bracelet will trigger automatically, forming a defense shield. Anything below Divinity Transformation cannot break this shield.

As for above the Divine Infant, to break this shield would still take at least half a stick of incense time. But like the Black Dragon Bracelet, this shield can only be activated once."

Song Yan accepted the White Dragon Bracelet but furrowed his brow and said, "The nine-child Demon Mother thinks the same. At that time, in case..."

Ancestor Ningxin suddenly stood up and said, "That's enough!!"

Song Yan sighed and said, "Ningxin, think about it. Since those Great Demons like Vilampu and Emperor Shixiang can't enter the Void Ruins, they will definitely hand their treasures to the nine-child Demon Mother. This isn't just a war between me and the nine-child Demon Mother, but a contest of heritage between the two races! Ningxin, I don't mind dying in the Void Ruins, but if I perish, it will surely be a loss to the Formless Ancient Race!"

Ancestor Ningxin: ...

The two of them fell silent.

After a long while, Ancestor Ningxin sighed as well and said, "Such Divinity Transformation level treasures that can be used by low realm cultivators are extremely rare. With these Black and White Dragon Bracelets, your trump card has increased significantly.

Never mind, out of concern for you, I will give you an extra drop of Millennium Profound Milk, which we found by chance in the Dragon Elephant Ancient Race ruins secret realm at the founding of our race... Consuming one drop can restore all your Profound Qi. Even if you're utterly exhausted, you can instantly return to your peak state."
