Yu Fei Yan snorted coldly and quickly went forward, but Zhong Yue had already disappeared inside the darkness. If she pursued she would probably have to chase him all the way to the male yard. She stopped her steps at once and turned around, saying faintly: "He has some skills…"
Beside her, Tao Dai’er said angrily: "Sister apprentice Ting, how could you let a man come inside? Moreover, your little man is a deviant pervert and spied on us while we were bathing!"
Ting Lanyue hurried to say: "Brother apprentice Zhong hasn’t been in the upper yard for long and he wasn’t aware of the upper yard rules. He wasn’t peeping on your bath on purpose. Sister apprentice Tao, don’t tell your father! Last time inside the demon ruins, we made it out alive only thanks to his efforts. He strayed into the female yard so I naturally had to protect him, or else he might have been beaten to death by you guys…"
Puchi. Tao Dai’er laughed: "Look how nervous you are. Don’t worry, he didn’t see me bathing at least, there’s no way I’d tell my dad. Only those who’ve been seen naked will be furious."
Ting Lanyue smiled and secretly watched Yu Feiyan.
Yu Feiyan’s face was icy and she coldly said: "Junior sister apprentice, call your man out. Let him fight me one more time and I won’t pursue the bath peeping matter!"
Ting Lanyue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She knew that a strong compet.i.tive fire had started in Yu Feiyan’s heart because she couldn’t stop Zhong Yue. After all it was the first time that the eldest sister apprentice wasn’t able to take advantage of a male disciple. Could this strong-willed and impetuous girl swallow it down so easily?
She blinked her eyes and thought: " Brother apprentice Zhong’s skill is more and more astonishing, he’s really traveling a thousand li in a day and making amazing strides forward. It’s not that much slower than sister apprentice Shui Qingyan’s progress! Those two are actually well matched, no wonder they are attracted to each other. However, why did sister apprentice Shui quarrel with him? And Brother apprentice Zhong’s face was also terrible just before he left…"
Zhong Yue was traveling fast inside the darkness through the dense woods. Giant waves reaching the sky stormed inside his sea of consciousness. Shui Qingyan becoming a victim of the Old Mother was still shaking his heart and mind, and his sea of consciousness wasn’t able to calm down!
"Xin Huo, this matter…"
"You intend to tell the Sword Sect’s Qi Refining warriors about this matter?"
Little Xin Huo stood in the air inside his sea of consciousness, surrounded on four sides by perilous billows rolling endlessly. He shook his head: "The most important thing is, what’s going to make them believe you? What’s your status? Only an insignificant outer disciple of the Sword Sect, who’ll believe you? Moreover, once you tell them about this thing, you won’t be far from death!"
Zhong Yue’s heart shivered and he came back to his senses: "You’re not wrong, it’s me who didn’t think this through. The Celestial Elephant Old Mother was able to come out of the demon ruins, this clearly means that there’s a traitor among the higher ups. Sister apprentice Ting said sister apprentice Shui was summoned by the River Mud clan’s Qi Refining warriors. The River Mud clan’s Qi Refining warriors are very suspicious. The River Mud clan is one of the ten great clans of the Great Wilderness. If they’re in league with the Celestial Elephant Old Mother, then not only no one would believe me, it would also be extremely simple for the River Mud clan to put me to death."
Once he said that, the violent waves inside his sea of consciousness became gradually gentler, quieting down.
"Very good, although your mind was a mess just now you were able to quickly come back to your senses. You’re already superior to countless mortals." Xin Huo praised him.
"However I’m still sensing your murderous intent, do you intend to kill to the Celestial Elephant Old Mother?"
Zhong Yue slowly nodded. Another burst of sadness filled his heart as he thought back to the little girl who always called him elder brother Yue. "Shui Qingyan" was still there, but this girl wasn’t the original her anymore.
"If I can kill the Celestial Elephant Old Mother, I can take revenge for sister apprentice Shui. I wouldn’t have known her in vain."
"You’ll need to strive very hard then! The Celestial Elephant Old Mother is a country b.u.mpkin demon G.o.d, but even a country b.u.mpkin demon G.o.d isn’t a trivial thing. Her spiritual soul still exists, after parasitizing a body she can be said to possess an inborn spirit, just like a Qi Refining warrior. Even a hundred of the present you wouldn’t be her match!"
Little Xin Huo said: "The reason she hasn’t become a Qi Refining warrior yet is mainly because she hasn’t fused perfectly with her body. Once she integrates completely with the body, becoming a Qi Refining warrior will be a matter of course! Meanwhile look at you, your soul is still too weak and it’s worlds apart from the spiritual soul of a demon G.o.d. Even if you cultivated a spirit, merged spirit and soul into one, you’d still be inferior to her!"
"Xin Huo, you must know how I can defeat the Celestial Elephant Old Mother right?" Zhong Yue asked hurriedly.
"Of course. The Celestial Elephant Old Mother is merely a lousy demon G.o.d. Once you obtain enough strength and are able to become a Qi Refining warrior, I’ll tell you."
Xin Huo’s face became stern as he said: "However, you’re also a country b.u.mpkin, a country b.u.mpkin from the f.u.xi G.o.d race. Therefore, not only you need to provide a hundred times the effort, you need to build a foundation that’s firmer than anyone else! I have a set of training methods that can make you cultivate twice as fast with half the effort, and make your foundation incomparably stout! I just don’t know if you’re able to bear this hardship…"
Xin Huo yawned: "I’ve been awake for too long, I still need to sleep a little. Wake me up when you obtain your Feather Spirit Dan pills, I’ll direct your cultivation…"
His shape gradually changed and transformed into a little pure flame, and no more sound was heard.
"Hmm? Xin Huo isn’t going back to the lamp to sleep this time?"
Zhong Yue was a little puzzled. This little flame was quietly floating in the sky over his sea of consciousness and didn’t leave, while last time Xin Huo went back to the worn-out bronze lamp to sleep.
"I don’t know when I’ll finally be able to become a Qi Refining warrior, go out of the Great Wilderness and accompany Xin Huo in search for a pure-blooded Soul Fire inheritor?"
Zhong Yue closed his eyes and visualized the Jiao Dragon Totem Body Coiling Secrets. Thunder rumbled quietly and became a thunder light Jiao dragon wrapping around his body: "Now the Sword Sect is exposing some chaos, giving me the sensation of being pressed down by dark clouds and tossed by wind and rain, like there’s a monster hiding in the darkness and waiting in ambush…"
The bottom of the Sword Sect mountain was already entirely submerged inside the darkness, but the golden peak of the Sword Sect was still shining light across thousand miles. The falling twilight shone on the golden peak, and after a moment, the sunlight gradually vanished. The Sword Sect’s golden peak also entered inside the shadows.
This holy land of the Great Wilderness was entirely shrouded by darkness.
Two days later, Ting Lanyue rushed into the male yard and called for Zhong Yue in front of his door, causing a group of male disciples to come out and watch with endless envy. Male disciples were banned from the female yard, but female disciples were allowed inside the male yard. Female disciples often came to find someone.
"Brother apprentice Zhong, those are nine hundred and twenty Feather Spirit Dan pills"
Zhong Yue invited her to come in. Ting Lanyue took out ten jade bottles and smiled: "Each jade bottle has a hundred pills, the small bottle has twenty. You, me, He Chengchuan and the others all obtained nine hundred and twenty each, it’s enough to cultivate for a long time."
Zhong Yue was greatly delighted and hurried to thank her, thinking:"I can finally continue to cultivate the Fire Era Palace Sovereign Sui Picture!"
Only after Ting Lanyue left and went out of the male yard did she remember something: "d.a.m.n! I forgot to tell Brother apprentice Zhong that sister apprentice Yu and sister apprentice Tao are looking for him, so he better not come out… Hmm, sister apprentice Yu and the others want find Brother apprentice Zhong and see whose skills are greater, but if I told brother apprentice Zhong about this he’ll certainly ask me how sister apprentice Yu and the others know the man from the other night is him. Then he’ll know I’m the one who sold him out…"
Ting Lanyue blinked her eyes and left quickly: "Nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me!"
Inside the yard, Zhong Yue visualized his sea of consciousness and woke Xin Huo up.
"To establish a foundation that’s firmer than anyone else, first you need an overbearing physique, secondly you need an overbearing soul, and third you need an overbearing mind power!"
Little Xin Huo spoke with a.s.surance: "By cultivating the Fire Era Palace Sovereign Sui Picture, you can enhance your soul and grow your mind power. By cultivating the Jiao Dragon Totem Body Coiling Secrets, you can enhance your physique. However, those are merely enhancements, it wont let your physique, soul, and mind power become tyrannical!"
"To become tyrannical, you need explosive power. Explode while you visualize the Fire Era Palace and Sovereign Sui!"
"Your courtyard is too small, it can’t endure crazy mess. Go outside to a the mountain cliff, I’ll tell you how to burst your physique, soul, and mind power without any restraint!"
Zhong Yue went out of his courtyard, toward the upper yard’s Horse Drinking Terrace. The Horse Drinking Terrace was a steep cliff with a lake in front of it, and some exotic beasts were drinking water there.
Zhong Yue looked down the cliff and unconsciously felt some dizziness. This cliff was too steep, as if a giant of unrivaled size had hacked down with an axe and split the mountain!
The ravine underneath was probably ten thousand feet deep and floating clouds could be faintly seen within.
"Ok, this place will do fine."
Little kid Xin Huo said: "To obtain an overbearing physique, soul, and mind, you need to do what I tell you. Now, eat three Feather Spirit Dan pills!"
Zhong Yue obeyed and swallowed three Feather Spirit Dan pills. He immediately felt a powerful outburst of medicinal power that made his body, soul, and mind power all boiling hot!
One Feather Spirit Dan pill was already very strong, not to mention eating three pills at once?
Too much is as bad as not enough. It would be an extreme burden whether for the body, soul, or mind if he couldn’t digest the medicinal power from the three Feather Spirit Dan pills. It would make his cultivation not progress but regress instead, and could even cause a long term disease!
"Now, jump down!" Xin Huo coldly said.
"What?" Zhong Yue almost lost his voice.
"Jump down!"
Xin Huo’s voice didn’t carry the slightest trace of emotion as he coldly said: "After you jump down, immediately visualize the Fire Era Palace Sovereign Sui Picture. Between life and death there’s great terror, but there’s also great explosiveness. I want you to burst your potential in this moment between life and death! Wait until I make your body mind and soul all burst out to the utmost of their ability, make you able to survive the fall!"
Zhong Yue’s forehead dripped with cold sweat while he was looking down. Xin Huo laughed coldly: "What? You don’t dare? I guess that’s right, after all you’re not a pure-blood from the f.u.xi G.o.d race, I’m right not to choose you as the Soul Fire inheritor. Just depending on you, you’re still fantasying about defeating the Celestial Elephant Old Mother?"
Zhong Yue’s leaped down, and fell away from the Horse Drinking Terrace!
His figure was suddenly out of control, dropping down the mountain cliff faster and faster. The whirring of the wind filled his ears, sounding more and more mournful.
At this time, an infinite dread invaded Zhong Yue and took hold of his brain!
His sea of consciousness was also shaking. The instant he had jumped down the cliff, his sea of consciousness had unexpectedly become twisted. The sea water shaped by his mind power transformed, following his thoughts as it became one extremely horrifying demon after another, infesting his soul and frightening him out of his wits!
Heart demons!
The great dread of this instant between life and death shaped heart demons inside his sea of consciousness, infesting him, and this great dread transformed into a great terror.
"Immediately visualize!" Xin Huo shouted, his voice so loud that even the deaf could hear.
Zhong Yue clenched his teeth, clenched them until his gums bled, doing his utmost to stabilize his mind and soul. He repressed his body’s shiver, and started visualizing!
Bang-
Shocking thunder seemed to explode in his ears, then all sound vanished, all his senses vanished, leaving only the figure of Sovereign Sui shouldering heaven and earth inside his sea of consciousness.
He didn’t visualize the Fire Era Palace or the fire tree, but only Sovereign Sui, pushing his abilities to the utmost and trying to make this Sovereign Sui become perfect!
When this celestial emperor of the vast heavens shouldering sky and land appeared, the heart demons inside his sea of consciousness melted away like snow!
