It was truly a vast, boundless snowfield; everything was white, whether above or below, left or right.
The world within this space can be transformed at will by Lin Yaoxie. For some reason, as soon as Lin Yaoxie entered this space, he immediately had the system transform it into this silver-clad landscape.
Within the snow-covered plains where heaven and earth were indistinguishable, perhaps in the very center of this space, or perhaps not. Lin Yaoxie, just as he had disappeared in the same way, was still sitting cross-legged.
This time, however, he did not sit steadily on the ground, but floated in the air.
However, in this overwhelmingly white world, from a distance, there isn't much difference between sitting in the air and sitting on the ground.
Lin Yaoxie did not close his eyes; he was laughing wildly.
Why is he laughing so hard? It's because he received something unexpectedly good.
During his month at the Guo residence, Lin Yaoxie kept thinking about how to proceed with the next main quest.
The Song Dynasty was destined to perish, but as long as Guo Jing was alive, Xiangyang, the first city the Mongol army would face in their southward advance, would be difficult to breach. Moreover, the Mongol Empire was currently severely weakened, and it was uncertain whether they could make a comeback in the short term.
Moreover, as a Han Chinese, Lin Yaoxie did not want to see too many Han Chinese die under the Mongol cavalry.
Although he didn't care about the lives or deaths of others, there were some things he'd rather do himself than let others get involved in.
But then he thought again, what's the rush? There's still a hundred years to plan. The Southern Song Dynasty, which only knows how to be content with its corner of the country and indulge in pleasure, will inevitably collapse sooner or later.
The most pressing issue is how to extend one's lifespan so that one can live to that time.
After several battles, Lin Yaoxie's cultivation had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. Logically speaking, his lifespan should now easily exceed one hundred years.
But he never forgot. The system assistant had once told him that in the mission world, the passage of time was 1:100 compared to the real world.
In other words, if he stays in the world of Condor Heroes for a hundred years, then a year would have passed in the real world.
Cultivation can be brought back to the real world, but what world will the next mission be? And how long will one stay? That's an unknown.
Since we're going to stay here for a hundred years anyway, why not use this world to refine our cultivation, which can also be considered as making plans for entering the next world?
It was with this in mind that Lin Yaoxie decided to go out and gain experience.
Even though he was out, he still had to make arrangements for Guo Jing. Although in the original novel, Guo Jing didn't die in battle until more than thirty years later when Xiangyang fell.
However, due to Lin Yaoxie's interference, the world of Condor Heroes has undergone too many changes, and many things that did not appear in the original work have appeared.
The most obvious point is that in the original novel, Guo Jing not only did not lose his manhood, but also had twins with Huang Rong, Guo Xiang and Guo Polu.
Guo Polu later died when the city fell, but Guo Xiang escaped the disaster because she went out to find Yang Guo.
In this world, Guo Jing is impotent. So how could Guo Xiang be born? And if Guo Xiang isn't born, where will the future founder of the Emei Sect be found?
However, given Lin Yaoxie's abilities, it wouldn't be impossible for him to easily cultivate someone to establish the Emei Sect and forcefully replicate history.
Lin Yaoxie's principle is: if you think of something, just do it.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, once a man became impotent, there was usually no cure. Especially since Guo Jing, surrounded by three of the most beautiful and talented women in the land, couldn't achieve any results, it was practically a sign that his manhood had completely withered away.
But Lin Yaoxie didn't want any accidents to happen. What if Guo Jing had another fortuitous encounter and his kidney disease was cured?
Lin Yaoxie is a modern person from more than a thousand years in the future. Even if he is not a medical student, he roughly understands the physiological structure of the human body.
Guo Jing's impotence could only stem from two aspects: psychological and physical.
Psychological factors can basically be ruled out. Moreover, according to his understanding, Guo Jing's condition was a consequence of being seriously injured in a previous encounter with a master.
In that case, it's most likely that the kidneys and bladder meridian have been damaged.
Men are associated with Yang, and kidney deficiency is mostly due to insufficient Yang energy in the body.
However, considering that Guo Jing is skilled in the powerful and fierce Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Lin Yaoxie boldly judged that Guo Jing's problem was not a lack of yang energy, but rather that he had not been able to press the center of gravity of his immense true energy into his abdominal cavity.
The worst-case scenario is that, by chance, a shrewd but misguided doctor might offer some guidance. In that case, the possibility of Guo Jing regaining his former glory still exists.
Whether or not Guo Jing's martial arts were crippled was not a big deal to Lin Yaoxie.
Now that Lin Yaoxie has taken Huang Rong, he cannot allow her to return to Guo Jing's arms.
Lin Yaoxie isn't a saint; he becomes a major villain. His women, whether they are willing or not, whether he snatched them or not, once they belong to him for a moment, they belong to him for life.
Therefore, Lin Yaoxie had to cripple Guo Jing. The most effective way was to cripple Guo Jing's extremely powerful and fierce internal energy, and completely destroy his kidneys' reproductive function without endangering his life.
Killing is easy, injuring is easy, and destroying one's martial arts technique is even easier.
It is quite difficult to cripple someone's divine power and fertility without killing or even severely injuring them.
The more impossible something is, the more Lin Yaoxie wants to try it; otherwise, how can he show his arrogant demeanor as the number one demon in the universe?
After a month of research and consulting with the system, Lin Yaoxie decided to unleash a forbidden technique that shouldn't exist in this world—a forbidden move that shatters the void.
In the human world, no matter how powerful one is, it is impossible to tear through the void and enter the spacetime turbulence. This is the biggest prerequisite for a stable plane.
Even legendary masters like Huang Shang, who wrote the Nine Yin Manual, and Dugu Qiubai, whose sword qi was as vast as the Azure Smoke, could not accomplish this.

P.S.: Those two chapters are finally released! I almost cried trying to get them released after all the cuts and revisions. Thank you editor, and thank you readers for your forgiveness. Love you all! Also, please set up automatic subscription.

In fact, the biggest reason, besides the constraints of different planes, is that these powerful beings have absolutely no concept of breaking through the void.
But all of this is not a problem for Lin Yaoxie, who comes from more than a thousand years in the future.
According to Lin Yaoxie's plan, he would find a way to extract the supreme and powerful internal energy from Guo Jing's body, and then inject this powerful internal energy into his kidneys in one go. Guo Jing's body was already used to the impact of powerful internal energy, but his kidneys were particularly weak.
This action can damage the kidneys without harming the body.
It sounds simple, but it's very difficult to do.
Lin Yaoxie drew out the fierce internal energy, but not in a way that was as powerful as the Beiming Divine Art, which would have crippled the host body if the internal energy had been drained.
Moreover, even if the internal energy is absorbed and then returned to the kidneys, the process will shatter all the extraordinary meridians in the body.
To put it simply, when drawing out internal energy, it's crucial to ensure the host's meridians don't atrophy. When infusing internal energy back, it's equally important to ensure the energy reaches the kidneys directly in one step, without damaging other parts of the body beforehand.
In the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes, it would be completely impossible to accomplish this.
That's why Lin Yaoxie thought of tearing space apart, then using the localized spatial turbulence to draw out and imprison the Dragon Subduing Internal Force.
Utilizing the theory that spatial turbulence cannot be integrated with objects in the three-dimensional world, the closed internal force is directly sent to the kidneys and then released.
As for whether this idea could succeed, and what the probability of success was, to be honest, Lin Yaoxie had no idea at all.
However, he didn't care. Although Guo Jing treated him well, even offering up his wife, Lin Yaoxie wasn't particularly grateful.
With his godlike omnipotence, how could he not single-handedly usher in the era of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber?
So, if you're going to do something, then do it. Rather than saying that Lin Yaoxie is returning Guo Jing's favor, it's more accurate to say that Lin Yaoxie is just using Guo Jing as a lab rat.
However, to his surprise, the difficulty of unleashing the Shattered Space technique was far greater than he had imagined.
It nearly drained all his cultivation to barely complete the experiment. This was all thanks to his deep understanding of Guo Jing; the timing of his actions and words was impeccable. If there had been even the slightest mistake, not only would the experiment have failed and Guo Jing had died, but his own cultivation would have been severely affected.
Fortunately, the experiment was a success, and Lin Yaoxie received an unexpected surprise.
First, after emptying his cultivation and shattering the void, he was surprised to find that his cultivation level of the fourth stage of Qi Refining suddenly jumped to the Great Perfection stage, just a little bit away from breaking through to the fifth stage of Qi Refining.
Secondly, Lin Yaoxie discovered that the internal energy extracted from Guo Jing's body was not only exceptionally powerful, but also carried a very pure dragon aura.
Furthermore, the aura of the true dragon merged with his own aura of transforming qi into sword, and instead of clashing with each other, they multiplied exponentially within the black sphere formed by the turbulent flow of spacetime.
For example, if the true energy originally drawn from Guo Jing's body was three, and the cultivation level released to pierce the void was seven, then upon merging and colliding within the black sphere, the resulting number would not be ten, but forty.
That's right, it quadrupled exponentially.
If all the power in this black sphere were injected into Guo Jing's body at this moment, Guo Jing would immediately explode and die.
That's why Lin Yaoxie split the black ball in two, injecting only one half into Guo Jing's body, while stuffing the other half into the second space.
Lin Yaoxie's excitement never faded. He flipped his hand, and the remaining half of the rapidly spinning black energy sphere appeared in his palm.
In a space so pure and pristine that it was absolutely striking how black this void energy sphere, darker than night itself, stood out all the more.
"Hahaha, System, was the appearance of this black ball also part of your plan?" Lin Yaoxie said loudly, a smirk playing on his lips.
The system's mechanical voice echoed from all directions within the second space: "Of course."
"Tch!" Lin Yaoxie curled his lip, revealing a rare roguish air.
"If you had known that Guo Jing's internal energy would increase threefold when it clashed with my cultivation power, wouldn't you have told me beforehand?" Lin Yaoxie spoke of the system's habits with great familiarity.
The system paused for a moment before replying, "In the journey of life, the system will not provide guidance; everything requires the host to move forward step by step."
"You win." Lin Yaoxie replied helplessly before straightening up on the white snow.
He toyed with the black energy sphere in his hand, muttering to himself, "After Guo Jing absorbed half of the spatial sphere, it damaged his kidneys but not his body. Although he could never practice martial arts again, it didn't affect his health. How amazing!"
After catching his breath and examining the black sphere for a while, he continued, "If it's so miraculous, would my cultivation level increase significantly if I absorbed it into my body?"
Lin Yaoxie squatted down again, seemingly waiting for the system's response.
The system remained silent, as if it hadn't heard anything.
Lin Yaoxie had no choice but to continue his analysis: "I'm currently at the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining. If I absorb the spatial black sphere..."
Slowly raising half of the black ball above his head, Lin Yaoxie made a gesture as if he were about to receive a sudden enlightenment, injecting the energy from the black ball into his body.
Only then did the system speak, saying, "I advise the host not to integrate the energy from the black sphere into their body."
The system's voice seemed to be exactly as Lin Yaoxie had anticipated, and the black ball he was holding aloft stopped abruptly an inch from his forehead.
"Why? I absorbed half the energy of the black sphere. Even if my cultivation level doesn't triple, I should at least reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, right?" Lin asked with a wicked smile.
Then Lin Yaoxie spoke up again, "If I advance to the fifth level of Qi Refining, my lifespan will increase by at least twenty years. Doesn't that give me a better chance of completing the main quest?"
Chapter 79: The Giant Python Transforms into a Dragon
"The energy within your body is pure sword energy. If this is added, it will cause the energy to become turbid. Although it may seem that your realm has increased, your actual strength will decrease," the system explained.
Lin Yaoxie frowned slightly. So that's how it is. Thinking of this, he gave up the idea. He couldn't let his pure and exquisite sword power become murky just because he was greedy for a temporary improvement in his realm.
"You can sell it to the system, just like the Blood God Sword you broke last time, but this energy ball can be exchanged for 50,000 Demon King Points. Or you can give this energy ball to the python that's about to evolve into a dragon, so that it can evolve into a dragon ahead of time," the system reminded you.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie immediately recalled that after he successfully comprehended the sword last time, he wanted to test his strength, but ended up breaking the Blood God Sword. He thought it was useless and casually threw it away, but who knew that the system would still recycle that broken sword for 20,000 Demon King Points, which was much cheaper than the price he originally bought it for, but it was still not bad. And this energy ball was actually worth 50,000? What's going on?
"This energy ball is far beyond what Guo Jing's internal energy can compare to. The energy within it is several times stronger than Guo Jing's internal energy, and more importantly, it contains the aura of a true dragon! That's why it's worth so much, and that's why it can accelerate the giant python's evolution into a dragon," the system continued.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie stood up, and in the next instant, he disappeared from the second space. After Lin Yaoxie disappeared, the snow-covered second space became a chaotic void with nothing left.
