PDLP Chapter 66 The Ultimate Yin Transmission
Chapter 66 The Ultimate Yin Transmission
An eerie silence fell between the two, with only the gurgling sound of churning lava echoing in the empty underground.
After a full incense stick's time, the female cultivator slowly withdrew her gaze, her face still expressionless, as if the emotion she had just felt was merely an illusion.
She paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke, her tone as indifferent as if she were discussing a trivial matter: "I wish to take you as my disciple, what do you say?"
These words struck Mu Chunfeng like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, leaving him stunned and his face filled with disbelief.
Why the sudden urge to take on a disciple? Could it be that he really values the supernatural power he mentioned? But with the abilities of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could easily coerce him into doing anything. There's no need to take on a disciple.
Or is taking on an apprentice just a formality, with the real intention being to take him away and control and exploit him long-term?
"What, you don't want to?"
The female cultivator looked at his dazed and thoughtful expression, and her voice turned colder.
"I'm willing! Senior, if you wish to take me as your disciple, I would naturally be more than happy to do so! However..."
As Mu Chunfeng spoke, she deliberately feigned hesitation and difficulty.
He was naturally extremely unwilling. Being inexplicably taken in as a disciple by a complete Nascent Soul cultivator was something he didn't want to be controlled by, even if the person didn't actually harm him.
Moreover, he now had a vague idea of the identity of the person in front of him.
"Just what? Stop rambling and tell me the truth! My patience is limited!"
He abruptly raised his head and shouted, "Senior, please calm down! I am a disciple of Extreme Yin Island, and my ancestor is none other than the Extreme Yin Ancestor! I already have the inheritance of my sect, and I dare not deceive you, senior, much less betray my sect and go elsewhere!"
"Oh?"
The female cultivator slightly raised her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her narrow phoenix eyes.
Her gaze fell on the Snow Demon, who was still kneeling on the ground not far away, and her tone was somewhat amused: "An avatar? Are you truly an extremely Yin person?"
She had long ago realized that the Snow Demon was an external avatar of a Core Formation stage cultivator.
However, during the investigation, neither of them possessed the unique, cold, and yin-like demonic energy characteristic of disciples of the Extreme Yin Island. Therefore, they did not associate it with the Extreme Yin Island, but simply assumed that this young cultivator was an extraordinary avatar he had created.
Mu Chunfeng sensed that although the female cultivator's voice was somewhat playful, it contained no murderous intent. His suspicions grew even stronger, and he quickly cupped his hands and said, "This junior would not dare to deceive you, senior! This avatar was bestowed upon me by the Ancestral Master himself. I am an undercover agent sent by the Ancestral Master to the Six Linked Palaces, and I am here on an adventure with the cultivators of the Six Linked Palaces. To avoid being exposed, I have not yet switched to the Profound Yin Technique, hence I have no demonic energy on my body."
As he spoke, he took out a yellowed thread-bound book from his storage bag and presented it with both hands: "This is the 'Mysterious Yin Manual' personally bestowed by the Ancestral Master. Senior, you can easily find out more by examining it."
With a casual wave of her hand, the book flew into her hand.
She merely glanced at it with her divine sense before tossing the book back to Mu Chunfeng, a contemptuous sneer playing on her lips: "Truly an extremely shady practice; even the cultivation techniques passed down to your personal disciples are incomplete."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chunfeng quickly lowered his head, pretending to be embarrassed, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief.
But the female cultivator's tone shifted, turning cold: "However, this alone is insufficient to prove your identity. What if you happened to obtain the cultivation techniques of Extreme Yin Island and created an avatar yourself?"
After all, a single cultivation technique doesn't prove anything, and the fact that neither of them had any Xuan Yin Demonic Qi in their bodies is still highly suspicious.
"If you intend to use this as an excuse to refuse me, then I may choose not to accept you as my disciple."
She let out a cold laugh: "I can plant a restriction inside you to make you obedient, but that won't be very pleasant for you."
"This junior would not dare to deceive my senior!"
Mu Chunfeng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that the evidence he had presented was too crude, and the fact that he had not cultivated the Xuan Yin Technique was highly suspicious.
He steeled his resolve, knowing this was his last chance.
He raised his head again, and slowly said in a cautious, somewhat tentative tone, "Senior Wen, you should know the saying, 'Under the rebellious stars, life and death hang by a thread,' right?"
The female cultivator's pupils suddenly contracted!
His aura instantly became incredibly sharp, and a chilling killing intent locked onto Mu Chunfeng: "How do you know that? Did Ji Yin tell you?"
This female cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage is none other than Madam Wen, the Daoist partner of Liu Dao Ji Sheng, the current demonic giant of the Chaotic Star Sea.
"Under the Reverse Star, life and death hang in the balance" is the code word of the Reverse Star Alliance, which is an organization secretly launched by the Six Paths Supreme Saint and the Righteous Path Wan Sangu.
This matter is top secret; currently, only a handful of invited Nascent Soul cultivators know about it, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be revealed to outsiders. For a Foundation Establishment junior to utter this coded phrase, he must undoubtedly be a trusted disciple of Ji Yin.
However, to reveal these words to a junior with such low strength is far too presumptuous. If the news were to leak out, how could Ji Yin bear the consequences?
"yes!"
Mu Chunfeng quickly replied, "Our ancestor is kind to me and has revealed some secrets to me. I would never dare to utter a single falsehood."
Madam Wen stared at him for a long time before finally slowly withdrawing all her pressure and killing intent.
She snorted coldly and waved her hand impatiently: "Since you are a disciple of the Extreme Yin Sect, then get lost. I want this place; don't get in my way."
"Thank you so much, senior! Thank you so much, senior!"
Mu Chunfeng felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly bowed deeply to Madam Wen. He dared not linger for a moment, grabbed the Snow Demon not far away, and mobilized all his magic power, transforming into a pale blue streak of light as he flew madly back to the passage he had come from.
Only after flying a distance and confirming that Madam Wen wasn't chasing him did he dare to curse inwardly, "Damn it! What a disaster! I didn't get a single Fire Lotus Seed, didn't even have time to check the ancient cultivator's storage bag, and even the Inheritance Golden Page was stolen!"
Despite his cursing, he felt mostly grateful to have survived the ordeal.
To escape with his life from a Nascent Soul cultivator was already an incredible stroke of luck. As long as he's alive, he can always rebuild. Once his cultivation is complete, he will reclaim what he lost today tenfold.
But just as he had flown only two or three miles—
"BOOM!!!"
A deafening roar came from behind!
The entire underground world suddenly trembled violently, and countless fragments of rock rained down from the overhead strata. Boiling magma shot into the sky like a fountain, and several pillars of fire, each tens of meters high, shot precisely towards Mu Chunfeng, instantly blocking all his escape routes!
"Holy crap!"
Mu Chunfeng's heart sank.
"Can't this happen after I'm gone?!"
He quickly stopped the Snow Demon. The Snow Demon channeled its ice-attribute magic to its fullest extent, erecting another thick, icy-blue protective shield that enveloped the two of them.
"Bang bang bang!"
The pillars of fire pounded relentlessly against the ice shield, producing deafening roars. The surface of the ice shield instantly became covered with countless cracks, and large amounts of icy water evaporated into white mist.
