Chapter 26: Eat Shit!
The Xuanyin Gu Seed was about to complete its fusion, and Daoist Ziyang’s face was filled with uncontainable joy.
He had planned for over a decade, expending countless effort, to finally figure out how to cultivate the supreme Dao technique, the Xuanyin Phoenix Transformation Scripture, with a male body.
He had also spent considerable energy perfecting this plan.
However, due to his inability to find a suitable cauldron for the Xuanyin Phoenix Transformation Scripture, it had been delayed until now.
But none of that mattered anymore; the hope of success was right before his eyes.
As she gradually merged with the Xuanyin Gu Seed, Su Yiyao’s cultivation was also increasing simultaneously.
She completed Mind Strengthening in an instant, her sea of consciousness expanding, finally reaching the last step of the Innate Realm: Spirit Refining.
Transforming the free-flowing spiritual energy between heaven and earth into her internal spiritual power.
Daoist Ziyang was prepared for this. He immediately scattered countless Yin Poison pills around the formation.
In an instant, Yin Breath Poison flooded the formation.
…Along with Yu Yiling and Huang Xinya, who had fallen unconscious.
Such a high concentration of Yin Poison was naturally beyond their cultivation level to withstand.
Soon, the two were awakened by the bone-chilling Yin energy surging within their bodies, their faces turning blue and purple, writhing in agony.
They saw Daoist Ziyang not far away and struggled to crawl towards him, moaning softly,
“Master… Master…”
“Save me…”
“It hurts…”
Daoist Ziyang ignored them completely, all his attention focused on Su Yiyao in the center of the formation.
This Spirit Refining step mainly depended on the speed of refining spiritual energy. The faster the refining, the faster the completion.
Once a spiritual aperture capable of storing spiritual power was opened in the sea of consciousness, one would officially enter the Spirit Condensation Realm, becoming a true cultivator.
In other words, the speed of Spirit Refining not only depended on talent but also required a blessed land with rich spiritual energy.
Su Yiyao’s constitution was special; she could use Yin Breath Poison instead of spiritual energy for cultivation. Daoist Ziyang’s actions were creating a blessed land specifically for her.
Soon, through introspection of her soul, Su Yiyao saw a vortex slowly forming above her sea of consciousness.
The bottomless vortex absorbed the spiritual power converted from the Yin Breath Poison in her body at an almost violent speed.
This… was her spiritual aperture.
“Such terrifying talent!”
Daoist Ziyang was dumbfounded. What limited Su Yiyao’s Spirit Refining speed wasn’t her talent, but the environment.
Within the formation filled with Yin Breath Poison, Su Yiyao completed Spirit Refining and formed her spiritual aperture in mere moments.
Daoist Ziyang, on the other hand, had spent a full ten years to overcome this stage.
However, thinking that such terrifying talent would belong to him from now on, Daoist Ziyang couldn’t help but laugh.
So what if her cultivation speed was terrifying? So what if her talent was exceptional?
She was only at the Spirit Condensation Realm now, while he, although injured, was a genuine Foundation Establishment cultivator.
A major realm difference wasn’t something that could be easily overcome with just talent.
Moreover, Daoist Ziyang had also been cautious.
He had only taught them cultivation methods, not a single combat technique.
The current Su Yiyao was just a vase with a high cultivation level but no practical combat ability.
“The seed has finally bloomed…”
Daoist Ziyang narrowed his eyes and walked towards Su Yiyao step by step.
Su Yiyao opened her eyes. Now, she also understood that Daoist Ziyang was finally going to make his move.
But…
“Where’s Ah Chou?”
Su Yiyao bit her lip and asked in a low voice.
She had just completed her breakthrough using Yin Breath Poison, and her body was slightly weakened due to the unfamiliarity.
“I didn’t lie to you, she’s not dead.”
Daoist Ziyang laughed, a sinister glint in his eyes.
“However, she has been refined into a Yin Puppet by me—Have you seen those maids? That’s right, your Ah Chou… is now just like them!”
“What!”
Su Yiyao was shocked. She knew about the maids, but Ah Chou had said… the maids were actually already dead.
“No, even more miserable than those maids. At least the maids are dead, they died quickly.”
Daoist Ziyang paced slowly around Su Yiyao.
“But that Ah Chou… tsk tsk, she’s indeed not dead, but her soul is trapped in the abyss of Yin Poison, forever unable to be reborn.”
“You…”
Su Yiyao’s face contorted in rage. She waved her hand, summoning her spiritual power, attempting to break out of the formation and fight Daoist Ziyang to the death.
However, Daoist Ziyang was well-prepared.
He didn’t even move, just flicked a few strands of spiritual power, and Su Yiyao’s body went limp.
“The Xuanyin Gu Seed was meant to be used by me.” Daoist Ziyang smiled faintly. “And your body, as a cauldron… I’m very satisfied. I’ll gladly accept it.”
As his voice fell, Su Yiyao, for some reason, raised her hands and suddenly grabbed her own neck.
…It was Daoist Ziyang’s spiritual power controlling Su Yiyao’s hands.
“I don’t like to get my hands dirty, so I’ll have to trouble you to do it yourself.” Daoist Ziyang watched with a smile. “It’s a pity the Yin Puppet isn’t complete yet. Otherwise, having your good sister do it would be even more interesting.”
The Xuanyin Gu Seed had already fused with Su Yiyao. Next, Daoist Ziyang only needed to kill Su Yiyao, then use the Heaven-Seizing Evil Art to refine the Xuanyin Gu Seed within her body into his Natal Magical Treasure, and his grand plan would be complete.
From then on, there would be no place in the immortal or demon realms he couldn’t set foot in!
Thinking of this, Daoist Ziyang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Hahahahaha… Mmmmph…”
“Laugh, laugh all you want, eat shit!”
Just then, a familiar, childish voice suddenly rang out.
Followed by a large lump of foul-smelling matter being shoved into Daoist Ziyang’s mouth, causing him to choke.
“It’s… you?” Daoist Ziyang’s eyes widened, his words muffled. “You… how… how dare you…”
Seeing Luo Xue’s appearance, Daoist Ziyang felt anger, but more than that, confusion.
How could a mere mortal escape the Xuanyin Puppet Refining Formation?
But he still immediately dug out the filth from his mouth, retching repeatedly.
This taste was unbearable…
“Guess?”
Luo Xue clapped her hands, wiping them on her clothes before helping Su Yiyao, who was almost suffocating, to sit up.
It wasn’t actually excrement, just some mud she had dug up in the depths of Mount Ziyang.
But this mud had been eroded by Yin Poison for years, and combined with the fermented remains of dead animals, the smell was indeed potent.
Moreover, the active formation had masked Luo Xue’s aura, which was why Daoist Ziyang hadn’t noticed her approach.
After helping Su Yiyao up, Luo Xue briefly sensed her condition and was instantly shocked.
“Whoa, Xiao Yao, how did you reach Spirit Condensation?”
Luo Xue could vaguely sense within the Innate Realm, but Su Yiyao’s aura now was unfathomable… it could only be Spirit Condensation.
