第一千九百五十三章 五龙玺与蓝色星海

This divine artifact, though its spiritual essence hadn't been lost, left Lin Xuan with no hesitation. He didn’t need to make any moves; a square-shaped treasure flew out, golden yellow in color and adorned with five golden dragons.

It looked somewhat like an imperial jade seal used by secular emperors, but it was even more magnificent and exuded an aura of mystery.

**Five Dragon Seal!**

Once this artifact was summoned, its spiritual light immediately shone brightly. Without Lin Xuan's control, it seemed to have a life of its own. A flash of light shot towards the top of his head.

This outcome shocked the second Yuan Yin greatly; the artifact had actually escaped from his grasp.

Such a situation was unexpected.

However, with the sudden change in storage, there was no time for additional compensation. The Five Dragon Seal flashed briefly and flew to a thousand feet above his head, entering the vortex formed by the five-colored clouds with a pfft sound.

"What...?"

Though Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface, he was greatly surprised internally.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened. The chaotic primordial energy around him surged like a river breaking its banks, rushing towards the vortex at the top of his head.

However, inside, no ice arrows or lightning flames were emitted; it seemed that all the primordial energy had found an outlet and was absorbed by the Five Dragon Seal.

"Senior Sister, did I see correctly? What divine artifact did Master summon to effortlessly dispel this thunderbolt?" Shangguan Yi's voice reached his ears. Her surprise was mixed with joy; she was overjoyed that her master could turn danger into safety.

However, such a divine artifact was too mysterious and important for him to let it go.

Although Lin Xuan didn't know what the Five Dragon Seal was used for so far, he had been saved twice from near-death situations. He believed its rank surpassed even the supreme divine treasures.

Even without evidence, he trusted his instincts.

How could such a good thing be left to wander away?

So, despite knowing that taking this reckless action might lead him astray, Lin Xuan couldn't resist.

He lifted his head abruptly, silver light flickering in his eyes. The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes had the ability to penetrate illusions and spatial abilities. Under the effect of this secret technique, Lin Xuan indeed found the artifact's whereabouts.

Raising his right hand, a green hand appeared in mid-air, just forming before it shot down like lightning towards the Five Dragon Seal.

Though fast, it was useless; the artifact couldn't be restrained by him. It easily broke free from any restrictions.

Lin Xuan's expression turned extremely difficult to bear.

The movement of his main body might lead to a dangerous state, and he still had some breakthroughs left in his Yuan Yin phase. But at this moment, he had no other choice.

Risking everything for the Five Dragon Seal was worth it.

Lin Xuan flashed away, flying in a seated position.

His speed was swift; soon, he approached the Five Dragon Seal, reaching out to grab it.

Initially thinking it would be easy, he didn't expect the artifact to retaliate when unattended. A burst of spiritual light hit him from above.

"What...?"

Lin Xuan was shocked beyond measure. Such a sudden change was unimaginable in his dreams. There was no way to avoid it; he barely moved back, avoiding the vital areas but still getting hit hard on his chest. The force was so immense that even the King of Whales' full power strike would have been inferior.

"My life is over."

Despair flashed across Lin Xuan's eyes as he hadn't expected such a powerful artifact to be unleashed. But at this moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The impact on his chest caused a picture to appear before him.

That picture was very familiar to Lin Xuan; it seemed like the blue star sea in his dantian had been painted onto his chest with exquisite brushwork.

The terrifying force of the Five Dragon Seal was completely nullified. But what shocked Lin Xuan even more was that upon contact, the artifact entered his body without causing any pain or discomfort.

He was saved from danger effortlessly, but such a mysterious scene left him speechless. He stood there, stunned.

Ancient people said that surviving great calamities would bring good fortune. Soon after, Lin Xuan felt the last bottleneck holding him back finally broke through as smoothly as water flowing into its channel.

Had he advanced to the Void Profound realm?

Lin Xuan scratched his head, surprised by this fact rather than elated. This advancement was indeed unexpected and had been a rollercoaster ride.

Perhaps still dazed, Lin Xuan's face showed confusion. Meanwhile, Shangguan Mu-ru and his two apprentices were all overjoyed.

They stood far away, witnessing everything clearly but remained outsiders to the life-and-death scene Lin Xuan experienced. They only knew that when the strange artifact hit him, his demeanor changed completely.

It was understandable; Void Profound and Separation realms differed greatly despite being just a step apart.

At this moment, Lin Xuan had finally become one of the top existences in the Eastern Sea cultivation realm.

"Congratulations, Master Body. Congratulations, Senior Brother."

Both girls curtsied, their faces showing unrestrained joy.

"Congratulations on advancing to Void Profound; you are now closer to achieving immortality. I believe that with time, you will ascend to the True Immortal Realm," Shangguan Mu-ru's voice reached his ears, filled with genuine blessings and admiration. The strength of a Void Profound cultivator was beyond him, but even more so, its longevity extended for tens of thousands of years.

Such ancient monsters had already passed through several Primordial Qi Tribulations, making their lifespans exceptionally long.

"Am... am I successful in my advancement?"

Unlike his usual composed demeanor, Lin Xuan appeared somewhat dazed. He muttered to himself as he spoke.

"Master, what's wrong? You are definitely a Void Profound cultivator now," Shangguan Yi turned and exchanged glances with her sister, showing concern on their faces.

Shangguan Yi’s expression was similar; worry flashed in her eyes. Could Master Body have made a mistake during the breakthrough? That would be troublesome.

Such cases were rare but documented in ancient texts.

If one broke through and entered the Void Profound realm without dying but damaged their mind, they might become mentally unstable despite successfully advancing.

"Senior Brother, are you alright?" Shangguan Mu-ru couldn't help worrying.

"Don't worry; I'm fine."

Despite a series of inexplicable events, Lin Xuan's mental resilience far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. His eyes swept over the three girls' worried faces as he regained clarity.

Taking a deep breath, he found his body in perfect condition with his cultivation energy doubling and more than doubling. He could sense primordial energy much better now—indeed incomparably so. He had definitely advanced to Void Profound.

This realization brought him joy, regardless of the reasons behind it.

He was truly blessed by heaven!

Thinking about what just happened, Lin Xuan felt a chill down his spine. He never imagined that in an uncontrolled state, the Five Dragon Seal would attack him. If not for the blue star sea...

However, he also wondered why the blue star sea had such a reaction to the Five Dragon Seal; what was the connection between them?

Too many questions flooded his mind, but Lin Xuan knew that at this moment, no matter how much he speculated, it wouldn't lead anywhere.

The crucial question now was: where did the Five Dragon Seal go?

Recalling the scene just witnessed, Lin Xuan immediately used the Inner Vision technique. He found the blue star sea in his dantian slowly floating, with a mysterious aura around it—the Five Dragon Seal!
