Chapter 338 Ten Years of Seclusion
The tremors of magical power in the void had long since ceased, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
This is the thirtieth day.
Xuan Yin Fairy sat cross-legged on the ground outside the horse cage, her gaze not focused on the flowing clouds in front of her, but uncontrollably drifting towards the tightly closed iron cage door behind her.
too long.
This time, the duration was unusually long.
They were separated by only one cage, a mere few feet apart.
For Nascent Soul cultivators, this array that isolates divine sense is sophisticated, but it cannot block the subtle sensation originating from the pull of Qi.
She knew what was happening inside.
That usually aloof and cold little apprentice was practicing the Dao of Yin and Yang harmony with Chen Yi.
Xuan Yin Fairy subconsciously shrank her feet, which were hidden under her skirt, and gripped the soles of her shoes tightly with her toes.
An indescribable embarrassment shot from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.
Having lived for over five hundred years, witnessed countless storms, and vanquished countless demons and evil spirits, she now resembled an ordinary woman eavesdropping, restless and uneasy.
Beyond the awkwardness, there was an even stranger restlessness.
Over the past few years, due to certain cultivation practices, her body has been repeatedly eroded by Chen Yi's domineering thunderous power.
Ninety percent.
She knew that number very well.
His own late-stage fourth-tier demonic body, which had been honed through countless trials, had been "developed" to about 90% by that man.
Aside from those few forbidden areas that represent the last line of defense between men and women, Chen Yi's hands, and even his lightning magic, traveled through almost every meridian and bone in her body.
It seems she's following the same path Ning Bu'er took before...
Fortunately, Chen Yi is quite sensible.
Each time the essence of thunder entered her body, the tingling sensation almost shattered her reason, but Chen Yi always held onto that last sliver of clarity.
He avoided the truly taboo areas concerning the separation of men and women, preserving the last shred of decency for her, his elder.
Xuan Yin Fairy bit her lower lip tightly, her nails digging deep into her palm.
She knew better than anyone else.
During that deep dual cultivation guidance, Chen Yi's Thunder Crystal Marrow Liquid was simply too domineering.
That was the most yang and primordial energy in the world, and even with her late-stage fourth-tier Nine Yin Demon Flame, she couldn't completely neutralize that violent impact.
She did not also practice body-cultivation techniques.
Every time she reached the later stages of cultivation, her meridians would become sore and weak because they could not withstand the heat.
In that state, she was like a lamb that had been pinned to the bed and stripped naked.
Even if Chen Yi only occasionally crossed the line, and even if he couldn't suppress his animalistic desires at that moment and forcibly took her body, she wouldn't have the slightest strength to resist.
Thinking of this, a complex emotion flashed in Fairy Xuanyin's eyes.
She felt somewhat fortunate.
This feeling of "being powerless to resist" became the best excuse for her to soothe her pride.
What she feared most was whether, if she had the strength to resist, she should either slap this ungrateful junior away or let the wasteland in her heart be burned away by the raging fire.
This torment of being caught in a dilemma was enough to cause cracks in her Dao heart.
rumble-
The heavy ironwood door groaned dully.
The multiple defensive formations covering the horse cage rippled outwards, then receded like the tide.
One month.
The door was finally pushed open from the inside.
Xuan Yin Fairy subconsciously straightened her body, her eyes blazing as she stared intently at the crack.
Chen Yi was the first to step out.
He changed into a brand new cyan robe with dark silver cloud patterns embroidered on the collar.
His figure seemed to have grown taller than before he entered the country, and his broad shoulders exuded an unshakable sense of weight.
The Mysterious Yin Fairy's gaze fell on his face.
Those eyes were dark and deep, with faint golden light flickering deep within their pupils.
That was the ultimate manifestation of the power of thunder condensed to its fullest extent.
Just by standing there, Chen Yi's aura made the air thick and sticky.
Xuan Yin Fairy's heart sank suddenly.
This kind of oppressive feeling should never appear in a cultivator at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
She even sensed a hint of threat.
Chen Yi's spiritual power has crossed the chasm of realm, and his physical body is radiating a precious light as refined as a magic weapon.
His magical power was astonishingly profound, only one step away from the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Bu'er followed him out.
Xuan Yin Fairy's breath hitched.
That was her most familiar little apprentice, yet at this moment he made her feel a strong sense of unfamiliarity.
That face, perpetually covered in frost and seemingly unchanging for eternity, melted completely at that moment.
Ning Bu'er's brows relaxed, and a faint blush appeared at the corners of her eyes and brows, like the first rays of morning sunlight shining on a budding flower petal.
Her originally aloof and cold temperament now possessed an inexplicable charm.
That was her radiant beauty, thoroughly nourished by the rain and dew after she had just become a wife.
This change was so jarring that even the ancient demon Xuan Yin Fairy, who had lived for five hundred years, felt somewhat overwhelmed.
What horrified her even more was the spiritual pressure emanating from Fuji.
The progress has been tremendous.
Not only has Bu'er's physical strength increased several times, but more importantly, the Nine Yin Demon Flame flowing around her has undergone a qualitative change.
The flames, which were originally pitch black, were now mixed with wisps of golden light as thin as hair.
That's the color of the Thunder Crystal Marrow Liquid.
The yin-dominant demonic flames and the yang-dominant thunder, two energies that should be incompatible and ready to explode at the slightest touch, have now achieved a perfect symbiosis within Ning Bu'er's body.
This fusion allowed Ning Bu'er, with his early Nascent Soul cultivation, to faintly emanate demonic flames approaching the intensity of late Nascent Soul cultivators.
The Nine Yin Demon Flame lineage has been passed down for thousands of years, and such an anomaly has never occurred before.
Countless thoughts flashed through Fairy Xuanyin's mind like lightning.
She figured it out.
The root of all this lies with Chen Yi.
Chen Yi planted a lightning crystal in Bu Er's body a hundred years ago.
The nurturing he received over the years had long since allowed Fuji's body to adapt to the power of the Thunder Spirit.
Furthermore, having experienced destruction and rebirth, having once scattered all his cultivation, his rebuilt foundation is now extremely pure.
Most importantly, it was Chen Yi's miraculous dual cultivation technique.
The Xuan Yin Fairy's gaze towards Chen Yi became incredibly complex.
This kid actually deduced and perfected such an astonishing martial arts technique in just five years.
His talent in dual cultivation is no less than his mastery of body and soul cultivation.
She was unaware that Chen Yi's mastery of dual cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of this realm.
Whether it was Qin Chengcheng's Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens or the top-level dual cultivation method of the Star Moon Sect that was kept secret, he had personally experienced them repeatedly, and now they had all become the nourishment for his deductions.
Combined with his near-fifth-order deduction ability and his almost obsessive familiarity with Ning Bu'er's body.
He had already thoroughly explored every inch of Ning Bu'er's meridians and every acupoint a hundred years ago.
This kind of personalized teaching method can naturally produce amazing results.
Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
The sublimation of the three elements has created the Ning Bu'er we know today.
Xuan Yin Fairy felt her heart beating faster.
That frequency was not the kind of fluctuation that someone of her level should have.
As she looked at Chen Yi's tall figure, the scenes of the two of them cultivating together over the past few years involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
That domineering thunder, that feeling of powerlessness from being controlled.
Chen Yi's dual cultivation technique is like a key to unlocking the divine treasures of the Nine Yin Demon Flame lineage.
If Fuji can improve to this level, what about her master, who is at the late stage of the fourth rank?
Once this idea takes hold, it grows wildly like weeds.
Xuan Yin Fairy clenched her toes tightly again, crossed her legs, and subconsciously brought them closer together.
A tingling sensation slowly crept up my spine.
Her primordial yin, which had been dormant for five hundred years, inexplicably trembled at this moment.
The feeling was like a spring suddenly emerging from a dry well, carrying a chilling coolness and vitality.
She looked away, unable to bear looking into Chen Yi's deep eyes any longer.
"Aunt Xuan Yin, why don't you rest for another month? I'll help you with your cultivation again after that."
The cave was dark and secluded, with only the pool of golden lightning emanating a faint light that reflected on Chen Yi's calm profile.
The Fairy Xuan Yin was sitting cross-legged on the futon, trying her best to regulate the chaotic energy in her body, when she heard this her body suddenly stiffened.
Those phoenix eyes, which always held a touch of aloofness and majesty, flickered with a hint of panic, and the person in front of them didn't even dare to meet the gaze of the young junior.
"Ah, okay."
His voice was strained, with a slight, uncontrollable tremor at the end, as if something had burned his throat.
Ning Bu'er stood to the side, noticing something amiss in the sound. Her gaze swept over her master's tense back, then discreetly glanced at her master's eyes hidden beneath her skirt...
Legs tightly clenched together.
A slight smile played at the corners of his lips, revealing a meaningful expression.
She didn't speak, but lowered her eyes and gently stroked the storage bag at her waist. It was the air that her master usually loved to maintain, but now it was shattered in front of Chen Yi.
The three of them said nothing and each entered a meditative state.
For ordinary people, these days of seclusion are long, but for cultivators, they are but a fleeting moment.
Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er's methods of cultivation have long since changed.
The two tacitly abandoned the cumbersome and inefficient traditional method of cultivating lightning crystals.
Instead, a more direct and domineering method of dual cultivation was adopted.
It wasn't a simple yin-yang balance, but rather a forced "introduction" of the Thunder Essence Liquid into Ning Bu'er's body using Chen Yi's powerful physique, comparable to that of a demon beast.
This process is not gentle.
Thunder raged through his meridians, tearing pain intertwined with the surging vitality that followed. With each practice, Ning Bu'er had to grit his teeth and break several silver teeth, his whole body soaked in sweat as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
But the results were amazing.
Aside from the explosive growth brought about by the breaking of her virginity during the first dual cultivation, each subsequent "introduction" visibly increased her magical power level.
Little by little, water dripping on stone will eventually wear it down.
Four years have passed quietly.
Inside the secret chamber, a powerful pressure suddenly erupted, only to be immediately suppressed by the restrictions.
Ning Bu'er slowly opened his eyes, a flash of purple lightning disappearing deep within his pupils.
Mid-stage Nascent Soul stage.
As she felt the surging magical power within her body, her gaze towards Chen Yi became increasingly tender.
Chen Yi sat cross-legged not far away, his body shimmering with golden light, his aura deep and unfathomable.
He has also reached a critical point.
He was just one step away from reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
This is not a bottleneck; it's simply that the quality of his magic power is too pure, like the difference between mercury and clear water. To fill the same pond, he needs to expend several times the resources and time of an ordinary person.
Breakthroughs are something that can happen anytime, anywhere.
Compared to the rapid progress of these two, the atmosphere on Fairy Xuanyin's side became somewhat strange.
Chen Yi continued to use the most primitive methods to assist her in her cultivation.
Hand-planted Thunder Essence Liquid.
Previously, she could convince herself with the simple reason of healing and spiritual practice.
But now, seeing her disciple's cultivation progressing rapidly under that shameful dual cultivation method, the stagnant water in her heart has finally been stirred.
The assisted training every few months became the most agonizing yet most anticipated time for her.
Chen Yi's fingers were long and strong, and each time the lightning arcs dancing at his fingertips touched her skin, they aroused an uncontrollable tremor.
The lightning entering her body was not only cleansing her meridians, but also gradually stripping away her dignity and reserve as an elder.
Especially in the last two days of each treatment course.
That was when the demonic flames were at their fiercest, and also when her physical body was at its most sensitive and weak.
She slumped on the futon, her fingers gripping the ground tightly until her knuckles turned white. She had no strength left in her body and could only let those hands roam over her back, waist, abdomen, long legs, jade feet, and lower abdomen.
Reason teetered on the brink of collapse.
There were even a few moments when Chen Yi's breath sprayed on the back of her neck, and some absurd thoughts would uncontrollably pop into her mind.
If this naughty boy were to act recklessly now—
Should I righteously push him away and rebuke his outrageous behavior?
Or should I pretend to be bewitched by the demonic flames and powerless to resist?
Once this idea takes root, it grows wildly like weeds.
She rehearsed the scene countless times in her mind, even anticipating the panicked expression she should make.
However, Chen Yi did not.
Four and a half years.
Even after nine years of seclusion, Chen Yi remained steadfastly on that line, never crossing it.
Each time he finished his practice, he would politely stop and drape her slipped clothes over her shoulders. His clear eyes made her feel ashamed, and then a sense of inexplicable loss arose within her.
Is this naughty boy just too self-controlled, or is he simply not interested in his old bones?
The Fairy of Mysterious Yin even began to doubt her own charm.
What she didn't know was that Chen Yi was not a paragon of virtue.
As a time traveler, some bottom lines are ingrained in my bones.
He can have more than one Daoist partner, but the idea of having both a master and disciple is something he can't get over right now.
Now, the Golden Thunder Origin Liquid in the secret chamber has completely dried up, with even the last drop being devoured by Chen Yi's greedy body.
The spine of that near-fifth-tier Vajra Ape was also decomposed by the system, turning into the purest bone essence, which was then integrated into his spinal dragon.
Chen Yi slowly stood up.
"Click click click one"
A sickening cracking sound rang out, as if an ancient ferocious beast had awakened within him.
He clenched his fist.
The air in his palm was instantly crushed, producing a dull bang.
Vajra Skill, mid-stage of the fourth level.
Thunder Spirit Body Refining Technique, mid-stage of fourth rank.
This is not just an improvement in skill level, but a qualitative leap.
In his final year, he made a crazy attempt.
More than 1,200 strands of gold essence and thunder essence were forcibly fused together.
This is akin to dancing on a knife's edge; the slightest misstep could result in death by explosion.
But he succeeded.
Although it was only barely successful once.
Chen Yi opened his palm, and a crystal the size of a fingernail lay quietly in his palm.
Its entire body is purple-gold, and its interior seems to be sealed with a thunderstorm.
Leijin Crystal Marrow.
Once this thing is detonated, its power will definitely exceed the full-force attack of an ordinary late-stage fourth-tier cultivator.
This was the first time he had possessed a trump card to threaten a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, relying solely on his own methods without the aid of external aids.
As for defense—
Chen Yi had a sudden thought.
A fine texture instantly appeared on the skin's surface.
The golden crystal array and the purple lightning array interlocked to form an extremely intricate totem armor.
This is no longer a simple magical shield, but an array engraved into flesh and blood.
Standardized late-game defense at level four.
Even if he were to face a powerful demon king in the late Nascent Soul stage right now, and he stood still and took a claw attack, he probably wouldn't even break a few layers of skin.
"call----"
He exhaled a breath of foul air, creating a deep crater in the ground.
"With such strength, when I enter the Black Mountain Secret Realm again in ten years to touch the Silver Sky Hammer and comprehend the inheritance of the Void Thunder Soul Talisman, my safety should be guaranteed."
Chen Yi secretly pondered, his eyes gleaming with suppressed shrewdness.
Just then, the Xuan Yin Fairy, who had been sitting silently in meditation, suddenly opened her eyes.
She flipped her wrist, and a communication talisman appeared in her palm, now flashing red light wildly.
As I probed with my divine sense, her originally rosy complexion changed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
"Kongoji Temple".
She raised her head, looked at Chen Yi who was at the peak of his strength, and then glanced at Ning Bu'er beside her, whose aura was stable. Her voice became more serious than ever before.
"A host personally led the team, and they have already arrived in my Qingfengling territory."
Xuan Yin Fairy stood up, her robes fluttering without wind, regaining her former majesty as the ancestor of a sect. However, there was a hint of inquiry in her gaze as she looked at Chen Yi.
"They said they wanted to settle accounts with us for past karma."
"So, should we accept it or not?"
