Chapter 101 - Heartless Palace
The reason why it was like this was because the Great Brahma Art had a certain degree of blessing towards the consciousness. Originally, Li Mu was not willing to waste crystal s on this Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pill, but upon Luan Tian"s suggestion, he still gave it a shot.According to Chaotic Sky, the stronger the spiritual sense, the more useful it was in breaking through to the Divine Arts realm. Because of his respect for the rich and experienced of Chaotic Sky, Li Mu bought so many Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills.
The last kind of pill was called Blood Zhen Pill, it was a pill that could strengthen the vital energy and blood of the human body. There were many people who used it in Gold Jade Sect, and the vital energy and blood were also very strong.
The strength of the body could not be separated from the exuberance of vital energy and blood. With the help of the microarray, coupled with the help of the Blood True Pill, Li Mu"s progress was naturally doubled. He spent about seven hundred crystal s to buy a hundred Blood True Pills.After entering the Upper Sky Realm, he did not need to eat anymore. Of course, this was only if he had enough True Essence to support himself.
In the extreme north of Yuheng Continent, there was an extremely cold area covered in ice and snow all year round. Because this area was covered in extremely low temperatures ice and snow all year round, it was called an ice field by people in the cultivation world.
The area of the ice plains was extremely vast. There were more than a dozen large mortal countries, and there were also a few medium-sized countries and small countries. There were tens of thousands of them.In the area of the ice plains, there was an extremely wide area called the Sea of Ice.
When the Ice Sea was mentioned, everyone in Yuheng Continent knew about it. This was because the Ice Sea was the place where the northernmost part of the Yuheng Continent and the boundless sea area bordered. In other words, the region at the northern border of the Yuheng Continent had countless ice type demon beasts.
As most low-level cultivators did not have the ability to kill demon beasts, they might not be familiar with the Sea of Ice. However, when it came to a cultivation holy land established in the Sea of Ice, it was definitely known to everyone, because it was one of the ten great cultivation sects of the Yuheng Continent, the Heartless Palace.The Heartless Palace was different from other cultivation sects. It had been a low profile sect for tens of thousands of years, and what was unforgettable was that the Heartless Palace only accepted female disciples, not male disciples. Furthermore, ever since its establishment, there had been an anti-human ban on the disciples in the sect.
The Heartless Palace was built on a large island in the sea of ice and snow. The island was called Heartless Island and it was very big.
In a tightly guarded underground cave on Heartless Island, there was a steel cage. Inside the cage, a thirty-year-old woman was being held captive.
Although the woman in her thirties had long since pa.s.sed her youth, time had not left much of a mark on her face. She was very beautiful, even more beautiful than those young girls."Greetings, Saintess!"
Suddenly, an eighteen or nineteen year old girl walked into the cave. The girl was tall and elegant, her beauty could not be described with words. Her beautiful face looked cold and charming, but the expression on her face didn"t change at all.
As soon as the young girl walked to the front of the steel cage, the Heartless Palace"s female guards hurried to greet her. These guards were all around thirty years old and all of them were in the Innate Realm, obviously different from the ordinary Heartless Palace Disciple."All of you can leave, I have something to discuss with Zhao Yiyi, it is related to my Heartless Palace"s secret, I have already consulted the Mistress."
The young lady waved to the few female guards who were guarding the cage, indicating them to retreat. From the meaning of her words, the woman who was imprisoned in the steel cage was actually Li Mu"s mother, the previous Holy Maiden Zhao Yiyi.
Asgard Mistress has said it before, without her orders, no one can meet Zhao Yiyi in private, please forgive us for not being able to comply. "This was a middle-aged woman with a cultivation base at the great circle of the Xiantian realm. She wore a long white robe, and there was a cinnabar mole on the right side of her forehead.
"What is it? Are you guys worried about me? "
The young woman frowned as a powerful aura that was unique to the sacred art realm burst out from her body.
"Although the Holy Maiden"s cultivation is higher than ours, she doesn"t dare to disobey the Palace Mistress" orders. I hope that she doesn"t make things difficult for us. Otherwise, I believe that the Holy Maiden won"t be able to explain herself in front of the Mistress!"
The female guards were clearly not easy to deal with. Despite the young woman"s threats, they continued to stand firm in their stance without any change in expression."Good, very good. This is the palace master"s token. I am only testing you."
The young girl in the prime of her youth suddenly retracted her powerful aura and took out a snow-white command medallion, handing it over to the leading female guard.
The female guard took the token and checked it for a while. Then, she nodded and returned it to the young woman. She then led the group out of the cave and closed the heavy stone door.
"You"re here, it"s been so many years since we last met, I didn"t expect you to grow up so fast, and have already reached the level of perfection in late-stage divine ability, and even become the new Holy Maiden. Looks like Heartless Palace has spent quite a lot of resources on you."
After the guards left, the woman in the iron cage suddenly spoke up. It seemed that she had known the young woman for many years.
"Zhao Yiyi, I am only here today, wasn"t this all thanks to you? If it wasn"t for you breaking the first prohibition of my Heartless Palace and having your heart touched, I, Xue Ji, wouldn"t have had the chance to sit on the throne of the Saintess."The young girl at the prime of her youth who called herself Xue Ji laughed coldly as she looked at Zhao Yiyi with a face filled with ridicule and disdain.
"That"s right, it"s a violation of the Heartless Palace"s ban, but as a villain, don"t you feel bad? I trusted you to treat me as a sister before, and I even brought you up many times, but you stabbed me in the back causing my family to perish!"
Zhao Yiyi said as she gnashed her teeth while looking at Xue Ji with face filled with hatred.
"That"s right, you treated me very well back then, without you, I might still be an unknown outer disciple. But in the cultivation world, who doesn"t want to climb higher, do you think everyone would be as loyal to you as Yu Hongyi? "Hmph hmph, in the end, I still lost an arm and ran, but I don"t know if I will live or die!" Xue Ji laughed coldly."What did you say!?" How is she? What exactly did you do to her! "
Hearing Xue Ji mention Yu Hongyi, Zhao Yiyi"s face changed, her face had an anxious and worried look.
"She, haha, dozens of years ago, she brought along your vile sp.a.w.n and was chased by my Heartless Palace. She had nowhere to go, in the end, she was chased by my Heartless Palace"s Great Luo Sect and lost an arm in a battle. What do you think she would do?"
Xue Ji said with a pleased sneer.
Also, you and the red-clothed man were the closest person to me back then, so I don"t blame you for stepping on me to climb up. After all, I was the one who violated the prohibition first, but the red-clothed man was like a real sister to you, how could you bear to stand idly by and watch! Zhao Yiyi said angrily.
"Sister? Hahaha, in a sect like the Heartless Palace, who would still want to talk about camaraderie? I can even hurt you, let alone Yu Hongyi, do you really want to know where that evil son of yours is? "
Xue Ji lowered her voice and asked word by word.
"My son! Since the red-clothed person is already like this, how can he be any better? All these years, the only two things that have supported me is Chong Tian and him. You"ve killed him and my son, you"ll have your retribution! "
Zhao Yiyi roared hysterically as tears of heartbreak flowed out of her eyes."No, no, no. I didn"t say that Yu Hongyi is dead, I only said that she has lost an arm, how could those trash from the Great Luo Sect keep the people you nurtured? She escaped, she brought your son along to escape."
Xue Ji said with a faint smile. Although she was smiling, in Zhao Yiyi"s eyes, there was definitely a hidden dagger in his smile.
"Just tell us what happened to them. There"s no need to beat around the bush!"
Zhao Yiyi was also not an ordinary person, her cultivation had already broken through the Tongxuan realm more than ten years ago. Although she was currently imprisoned here and her entire body"s cultivation had been sealed, such a person was not someone that the common folk could compare to.
and your son secretly searched for so many years in my Heartless Palace, but not long ago, they finally found their tracks and brought your son back to the Heartless Palace. Unfortunately for Yu Hongyi, she stubbornly resisted and was killed on the spot. ""
Hearing that, Zhao Yiyi shut her eyes, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and she did not reply, she knew that Xue Ji still had more to say."The main reason why I came here today was because I was ordered by the Asgard Mistress to ask you to hand over the Ten Thousand Swords Sect"s ultimate skill, the Myriad Swords Return to the Source Spirit, as well as to fix the blemish on the Broken Love Formula. I hope that you won"t reject me on behalf of your son." Xue Ji"s face became serious, and said with a threatening tone.
"I was just wondering why you guys would come looking for me, as expected, you came for the Myriad Swords Return to the Origin, but you"ve made a mistake. Although Zhong Tian obtained the cultivation method for the Myriad Swords Return to the Origin, he never told me about it, I don"t even know!"
"As for the way to make up for the flaws in the Broken Love Formula, although I do have one, if I remember correctly, didn"t you all call yourself the? Since all of you are able to sever your emotions, what"s the use of coming here? "
sneered, the Broken Love Formula was the supreme technique of the Heartless Palace, it"s might was extremely powerful and possessed many secrets, it was also the inheritance of the Heartless Palace"s Palace Master, there were very few people in the Heartless Palace who had the qualifications to train in it.
Cultivation of Broken Love Formula had a huge flaw, which was that one could not be emotional. One had to be emotionless for a long period of time and have feelings for the opposite s.e.x, if it was light, the cultivator"s cultivation would decline, and if it was serious, it would be fatal.
Other than that, people who trained in Broken Love Formula had to keep their virginity, once they lost their virgin vital yin, their cultivation would be half crippled, and they would be unable to progress any further. Without a way to make up for the deficiency in the Broken Love Formula, Zhao Yiyi would never be moved.
Zhao Yiyi was extremely lucky, she had once stumbled upon a piece of Buddhist Cultivation Method in an ancient ruin, and it was able to make up for a flaw in the Broken Love Formula, thus causing her to be unharmed. The name of the technique was Zhenling Meridian, and it was precisely because of this that Zhao Yiyi was moved, and gave birth to Li Mu.
