Starting with the Sword Ancestor System: Xiao Yan, Your Harem is Mine!

235: The Corridor of Myriad Herbs, where the stubborn rocks remain silent.After a brief moment of dizziness passing through the glowing portal, Li Ao found himself in an extraordinarily peculiar corridor.

Beneath his feet were warm, green jade flagstones, but the sides were not walls; instead, they were surging, colorful energy mists. These mists were not merely pure Heaven and Earth energy, but rather the condensed Origin medicinal properties of countless extremely pure medicinal ingredients!

The mist on the left was full of vitality, displaying warm tones like emerald green, fiery red, and golden yellow, emanating an invigorating fragrance—that was the Origin of Yang-attributed and life-attributed medicinal ingredients.

The mist on the right, however, was cold and silent, exhibiting cool tones such as ethereal blue, dark purple, and grayish-white, emitting a crisp, even slightly corrosive aura—that was the Origin of Yin-attributed, cold-attributed, and even poison-attributed medicinal ingredients.

The entire corridor wound forward, with no end in sight, as if leading to unknown depths. The air was filled with a complex scent, a mixture of thousands of intertwined medicinal properties. An ordinary person inhaling even a single breath would likely explode and die due to the conflict of these properties.

“The first trial, the Myriad Medicine Corridor,” the ancient, gentle voice resounded again, echoing through the corridor. “Proceed, perceive with your Souls, resonate with your true hearts. How far you can go depends on your understanding and tolerance of the essence of medicinal properties.”

As the voice faded, Li Ao felt the relatively calm energy mists on both sides begin to slowly press in on him. Each medicinal property was like a spirit with a simple consciousness, carrying its own characteristics, attempting to invade his Physical Body and test his Soul.

He saw the figures of Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Qiu Hao, and the Medicine Clan disciples not far away. Each person’s body glowed with different lights, some constructing barriers with Soul Power, cautiously avoiding overly violent medicinal properties; others employing some secret method, attempting to guide and soothe the approaching medicinal properties; and even more, like the Netherworld Poison Sage, actually opened his mouth and swallowed a few wisps of highly toxic medicinal properties, a look of enjoyment on his face.

Yao Tian and the other Medicine Clan disciples appeared much more composed; they seemed to possess some Bloodline mark on their bodies, which made most of the medicinal properties relatively gentle towards them.

Li Ao did not erect any Soul barriers, nor did he use Dou Qi. He simply took a calm step forward.

When the first wisp of “Dragon Blood Ganoderma” medicinal property, hot as fire, touched his Physical Body, the subtle grey Rule patterns beneath his skin faintly glowed. That violent medicinal property, like a drop of water falling onto a red-hot branding iron, emitted a faint “sizzle” and was instantly assimilated and decomposed by the Guixu Great Dao Concept, which was automatically operating within his Nirvana Hegemon Body. It transformed into a wisp of pure energy, merging into his Qi and Blood, and subtly strengthening his Hegemon Body by a fraction!

A flash of realization crossed Li Ao’s eyes.

“So that’s it. This ‘Myriad Medicine Corridor,’ which is a trial for others, is excellent nourishment for tempering my Nirvana Hegemon Body!”

His Guixu Great Dao inherently contained the profound truth of all things returning to nothingness, and also creating from nothingness. These medicinal Origin properties, no matter how violent or conflicting their attributes, were forcibly “analyzed” and “unified” by the higher-level Annihilation Rule the moment they touched his Hegemon Body. Their external attribute manifestations were stripped away, returning them to their Origin as the purest life energy and Rule fragments, used to nourish his Physical Body!

He thus walked forward at a leisurely pace.
