Ye Haochuan questioned the Third Clan Leader about the location of the Teleportation Arrays. He learned that these are controlled by the Holy Sees, located on islands within the Heart of the Earth Sea. After forcing the clan members to hand over their rings as compensation for 'psychological trauma,' Ye Haochuan left. The Third Clan Leader's brothers revealed they were present but unable to help, believing Ye Haochuan to be an Immortal Realm cultivator. They have alerted Lord Mus, a powerful expert, and plan to use the Holy See as a trap for Ye Haochuan, who is unaware he's been targeted.

The spatial laws here cease to impede Lin Qingxuan, who lacks cultivation, finally allowing her to draw a breath of freedom.

"Brother Ye, I don’t wish to return to that tiny golden coffin. Please allow me to stay by your side, won’t you?" A fleeting moment of joy gave way to a darkening of Lin Qingxuan’s expression as she spoke with tender affection.

A pang of sorrow resonated within Ye Haochuan upon hearing her plea.

The connection between him and Lin Qingxuan had been forged long ago, yet fate, due to certain circumstances, had granted them the least amount of time together.

"Rest assured, it will not be long before I reach the Nascent Soul Stage of cultivation. At that point, even if we return to the Immortal Realm, you shall no longer be confined to that little golden coffin!" Ye Haochuan gathered Lin Qingxuan into his arms, his voice soft and comforting.

Immensely gratified, Lin Qingxuan nestled deeper into Ye Haochuan’s embrace.

Just as the pair were poised to deepen their affectionate exchange, an ill-timed voice abruptly interrupted the moment.

"How utterly laughable, for one whose innate qualifications have been plundered to still harbor ambitions of cultivation?"

A comely silhouette cloaked in grey materialized with the resonant voice.

"Damn it, can’t you perceive that I am in the midst of a tender moment? You meddlesome interloper..."

The immediate urge for Ye Haochuan was to curse, but recalling Dou Chi’s earlier pronouncement, he paused, a look of bewilderment crossing his face as he inquired, "Are you suggesting that Qingxuan is incapable of cultivating because her innate gifts were stripped away?"

For an extended period, Ye Haochuan had grappled with the enigma of Lin Qingxuan’s exceptional aptitude for absorbing and processing spiritual energy, a talent that frustratingly failed to translate into any discernible cultivation progress.

Dou Chi’s remark illuminated the truth for him.

It was no wonder he had sensed an indefinable void within Lin Qingxuan; her very potential had been excised.

Dou Chi offered a nod, stating, "Your companion possessed excellent innate qualities. However, her antagonist employed a rather peculiar method, completely siphoning off her talents, leaving behind mere vestiges. Consequently, your young lady is now irrevocably damaged."

"Is there no recourse for this predicament?" Ye Haochuan inquired, his brow furrowed in solemn concern.

"Resolution is not entirely out of the question. Should you possess a cultivation technique capable of illicitly acquiring the qualifications of others, you could transfer them to your companion. Be warned, however, that such nefarious arts are exceedingly rare and are typically wielded only by those deemed utterly depraved..."

"I possess such a technique!" Ye Haochuan exclaimed, a surge of elation coursing through him.

"What?" Dou Chi’s gaze fell upon Ye Haochuan, laced with incredulity, as if questioning whether Ye Haochuan himself belonged to the ranks of the rumored depraved.

Disregarding Dou Chi’s suspicious scrutiny, Ye Haochuan elaborated, "I am aware of a Blood Sacrifice Body Seizing Technique that can usurp an individual’s Origin Vital Essence Qi for the benefit of another!"

This very Blood Sacrifice Body Seizing Technique had been employed by that old nun to seize his son’s inherent physique years prior. Subsequently, he had utilized this very method to transfer Origin Vital Essence Qi from the old nun to Jiang Shuying, thus succeeding in saving her life.

He had never fathomed that this same technique could serve to restore Lin Qingxuan.

Yet, in the subsequent instant, his expression turned grim as he added, "However, while this method is potent for seizing the Origin Vital Essence Qi of newborns, its efficacy in acquiring the qualifications of adults is considerably diminished!"

"No, you cannot seize the physiques of infants?" Lin Qingxuan’s voice, laced with immediate anxiety, pierced through Ye Haochuan’s words.

Under no circumstances was she willing to inflict harm upon another for her own benefit.

Ye Haochuan harbored the same aversion. Newborns, having just entered the world without having committed any transgressions, presented a moral quandary; he could not bring himself to harm them for personal gain.

"This is a matter that will require patience and the opportune moment. Perhaps certain infants are born on the brink of death, and seizing their qualifications would merely be a case of salvaging wasted resources!" Dou Chi offered with a shrug.

What in the world? I am a Divine Doctor, am I not? As long as they are not stillborn, I can generally preserve their lives!

Ye Haochuan felt a profound sense of helplessness welling within him, culminating in a resigned sigh, "We shall confront that bridge when we come to it."

With that sentiment uttered, he turned his gaze to fix upon Dou Chi, remarking, "Very well, certain improprieties will transpire here shortly, so be off with you and return whence you came!"

"Hmph, I merely stepped out for a breath of fresh air. What is with this hostile attitude?"

Dou Chi grumbled reluctantly, "Fine, I can simply avert my gaze. Do you truly believe I harbor any desire to witness your amorous displays?"

He then turned his attention to Lin Qingxuan, declaring, "Fear not, sister, for I have witnessed all manner of scenes. This is but a fleeting dalliance. I possess no inclination to be a spectator."

"All of you... are so exasperating!"

Lin Qingxuan’s cheeks had flushed to the hue of a ripe apple. She shot Ye Haochuan a glare tinged with annoyance before making a hasty retreat.

Indeed, her intention was to completely surrender herself to Ye Haochuan, but not in this setting, and certainly not with this intrusive individual observing…

"Look at you, you’ve ruined a perfectly good passionate night for me. If you don’t leave, I’ll wipe you out!" Ye Haochuan said in displeasure.

"Come on, it’s clearly because you lack the ability to woo girls, yet you blame me. That’s shameless!" Dou Chi said fearlessly.

"Damn, had I foreseen this, I wouldn’t have used the Phantom Realm the last time. I’d have really killed you to keep you from ruining my plans..."

"You dare bring up the last time, huh? I’ve never been so bullied before. We’re not done!"

The two began bickering!

But at that moment, suddenly Lin Qingxuan’s startled voice came from not far away.

"Brother Ye, save me..."

Ye Haochuan was shocked, quickly snapping back to reality. He saw that beside Lin Qingxuan, a black hole had appeared at some point. A large black hand was reaching through the black hole, grabbing Lin Qingxuan’s arm and pulling her toward the hole.

Damn it, how did I forget this guy?

Ye Haochuan was horrified.

Ever since entering the Immortal Realm, the person who harmed Lin Qingxuan had disappeared, which caused Ye Haochuan to gradually overlook them. He should have realized that the space rules of this world are not as strict as the Immortal Realm, allowing them to appear.

"Thousand Threads!"

At a critical moment, Ye Haochuan couldn’t run over to rescue her, so he immediately used a binding skill.

The next moment, countless threads shot out from space, binding that black arm tightly.

The arm struggled a few times and appeared panicked after realizing it couldn’t break free, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t move an inch.

After rescuing Lin Qingxuan, Ye Haochuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He slowly walked toward the direction of the black hand and grasped that black hand.

"Using such sneaky means, what kind of skill is that? Why not come out and battle with me?"

Before the words even settled, the colored threads instantly fell away, and Ye Haochuan suddenly used force to pull that black hand out of the black hole.

Naturally, the owner of the arm was pulled out along with it...
