This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 746 - 616: You're driving me crazy!

"Has this kid forgotten that someone is suffering out here for him!?"
Grandpa Ju was sweating profusely, murmuring through gritted teeth. To keep the crack in the seal from closing, his paws were already sore and aching, almost no longer feeling like his own.
He had already sensed that the Heavenly Dao Origin, which had just resonated with him, was gradually fading away, meaning that Liang Yi must have absorbed it already.
But why hasn't this guy come out yet? He really can't hold on much longer!
In his urgency, Grandpa Ju turned his anger into strength, continuing to prop open the seal's crack for Liang Yi, muttering under his breath, hoping that Liang Yi could find his way back.
"Stop cursing, stop cursing, I've got it all sorted out already!"
Just when Grandpa Ju was about to lose his senses, a familiar voice suddenly came through the fissure, followed by the figure of Liang Yi, whom Grandpa Ju had been longing to see.
"You damn... finally came out!"
Grandpa Ju released his paws, slumping down onto the snowy ground, then collapsed face down into it, gasping for air.
Previously, the Heavenly Dao Origin he left behind resonated silently, thus creating a tear in the seal. But after Liang Yi absorbed the Heavenly Dao Origin, most of the burden fell on Grandpa Ju alone.
He had managed to hold out this long purely on the strength of the anger and the curses he had been muttering against Liang Yi.
Liang Yi, feeling somewhat embarrassed, crouched down next to Grandpa Ju, and with a sheepish smile began massaging Grandpa Ju's shoulders as a form of compensation.
If it had just been about absorbing the Heavenly Dao Origin, he would have been out quickly, but who would have thought he'd suddenly come up with a bold idea? To take advantage of advancing his Realm and the vast amount of Heavenly Dao Origin to complete his Disruption Domain, he had to stay inside a bit longer than necessary.
This was after he had rushed out as soon as he finished his own business; had he been any slower, he might have been sealed inside for good.
"Phew, at least you showed some sense, kid. Where's the item?"
Under the devoted massage of a Great Cultivator of the Ninth Realm, Grandpa Ju comfortably closed his eyes, enjoying himself thoroughly before finally speaking.
"Here it is..."
Liang Yi reached back and pulled out a palm-sized orb of light, passing it to Grandpa Ju.
"We're counting on this thing for our getaway after the deed."
After carefully inspecting it, Grandpa Ju carefully tucked it away.
"Any problems? Is it a bit too little...?"
As casually as if he were handling a rag doll, Liang Yi placed the utterly drained, limp Grandpa Ju onto his shoulder and asked.
This orb of light was the last bit of the Heavenly Dao Origin. The Heavenly Dao Origin inside the seal must have learned everything from that strand of thread that had detached from Grandpa Ju, and then it split off this bit of Origin in advance to give to Liang Yi.
"No worries, this bit of Origin is just a primer; it's enough."
Grandpa Ju waved his hand, reassuring Liang Yi that it was all fine.
"Alright, as long as you're sure about it."
Watching the confident Old Man Tangerine, Liang Yi said with a smile.
"Right, you must have gained quite a bit, didn't I tell you this was a huge opportunity?"
Having achieved his main goal, Old Man Tangerine chuckled after sensing Liang Yi's aura.
"Indeed, it's a tremendous opportunity, the power of the Heavenly Dao Origin is a bit overwhelming..."
Liang Yi clenched his fists, nodding and smiling.
His gains this time were tremendous, not only leaping from the Eighth Realm to the Ninth Realm, but more importantly, the awe-inspiring foundation formed with the help of the Heavenly Dao Origin, which was unprecedented and formidable.
Furthermore, he had managed to incorporate all of this foundation into his Domain, expanding it to an extent that even a Ninth Realm Great Cultivator at Perfection had never reached!
Now, with the power of his Domain alone, he could fight against most peak cultivators of the Ninth Realm! Unmatched against any Great Perfection cultivators of the Ninth Realm!
"Of course! The chance of the Heavenly Dao severing its Origin for cultivators to absorb is almost impossible; such an opportunity is something you'd only dream of. Your luck is truly amazing to have encountered it!"
Old Man Tangerine declared proudly, pondering over Liang Yi's fortune - after all, it had been several epochs since such an event occurred, and who could have anticipated that this self-cleaved Origin would play such a crucial role after so many epochs.
"But doesn't your cultivation growth seem a little lacking? According to my estimate, after absorbing that part of the Heavenly Dao Origin, you should at least be approaching the late stages of the Ninth Realm!"
However, after inspecting Liang Yi's cultivation, Old Man Tangerine suddenly asked with a puzzled look.
"I didn't use all of the Heavenly Dao Origin to boost my cultivation; I used some of it to perfect my Domain," Liang Yi casually explained.
"My Domain is quite special; other cultivators usually comprehend their Domain at the Seventh Realm, perfect it at the Eighth, and expand it at the Ninth. But mine has always been incomplete, and only now in the Ninth Realm have I made new progress thanks to this opportunity."
"You're being foolish; the priority when expanding a Domain is to accumulate foundation and essence. You've just broken through to the Ninth Realm, and should have used your time at the Eighth to build a foundation. Hurriedly expanding and perfecting your Domain this way, I'm afraid the effect might be weak..."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Tangerine, upset like a disappointed mentor, slapped Liang Yi's face with his round paw. Indeed, once the Domain is perfected, it's far more useful than mere Realm advancement, but for Liang Yi, who lacks foundation, to impulsively use the Heavenly Dao Origin for expansion is truly wasteful.
Did I leave you this precious Heavenly Dao Origin for this?
"Ah, what's done is done; what's the use of talking about it now?"
Liang Yi blinked, a teasing smile in his eyes, as he spoke to Old Man Tangerine.
"I'm freaking..."
Old Man Tangerine was so angry he almost spat blood.
"Let's go, I think it's a good deal anyway, maybe it'll surprise you later on?"
Liang Yi activated his Spiritual Power, restoring everything around back to its original state. After making sure there were no omissions, he was ready to take Old Man Tangerine and leave.
But Old Man Tangerine, in the throes of extreme anger, had failed to notice that the Sword Intent casually released by Liang Yi was exactly the same as the one that had filled the area, coming from Gu Chengan's rule-defying Sword Intent.
After handling things here, Liang Yi briefly concealed his aura and then, carrying Old Man Tangerine, turned into a sword light, speeding towards the distant direction of Wu Nüe after piercing through the boundless snowstorm.
Although Liang Yi could now easily annihilate the entire Ling Cave Demon Wolf clan on his own, since he was leaving, he was certainly going to bid farewell to the master of this place.
