My power increases 100 Jin a Day

Outside, the sounds of wind, rain, and thunder mixed together, creating a loud clatter.

Inside, a pin drop could be heard, an utter silence.

Zhao Feiyan and Shangguan Yun both couldn’t help but swallow hard, awkwardly looking at Jiang Shi, and then immediately turning their gaze to Zhao Houcai.

Jiang Shi remained calm, motionless, his gaze quietly resting on Zhao Houcai.

Zhao Houcai’s expression changed, under Jiang Shi’s gaze, he felt his scalp tingle, his whole body felt transparent, as if his hair was standing on end, extremely uncomfortable.

He cursed inwardly.

He never expected Jiang Shi to find him so quickly!

It now seemed that he probably had never escaped Jiang Shi...

"Young Hero Jiang, it’s really nothing much, we just happened to meet an ancient sage on the road, who lightly tapped us, and as for the spiritual imprint you left, I really didn’t know about it."

Zhao Houcai forced a smile and said.

"Do you think I believe you?"

Jiang Shi asked, his calm and clear eyes suddenly flashing with two faint crystal lights, sweeping across instantly.

Zhao Houcai’s face changed, and he quickly said: "No, I’m willing to confess!"

Buzz!

In an instant, Zhao Feiyan and Shangguan Yun beside him felt a buzzing in their minds, feeling as if their entire souls were overturned, quickly losing consciousness.

In the blink of an eye, both became incredibly dull, motionless.

Only Zhao Houcai remained unaffected, looking shocked.

This made Jiang Shi frown slightly.

[Soul Devouring Talent] was useless?

A strange power emerged from Zhao Houcai, blocking his soul devouring.

"Elder Zhao, at this point, do you still want to conceal?"

Jiang Shi said coldly, watching Zhao Houcai.

"Alright..."

Zhao Houcai sighed, knowing that trying to conceal any longer would be useless, he gave a bitter smile, looking at Jiang Shi, and said: "Young Hero Jiang, I’m afraid even after I speak, you may not believe it."

"But go ahead, believing or not will be considered later."

Jiang Shi said calmly.

Zhao Houcai nodded slightly, and said: "Young Hero Jiang, if I’m not mistaken, you’ve cultivated the [Yama Nine Revolutions Technique], actually, we are from the Yama Race."

"You are from the Yama Race?"

Jiang Shi was stunned, incredulous.

The Yama Race that was annihilated among the Ten Great Races back then?

How could it be possible?

Zhao Houcai said with a bitter smile: "See, I knew you wouldn’t believe it."

As he spoke, he gently rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, suddenly clenching his fist, and his entire right arm began to rapidly change, turning into a lava-like color, with terrifying flames erupting rapidly from thousands of his pores, burning furiously.

In an instant, his entire arm turned into the color of lava.

An extremely scorching heat rapidly spread from his entire arm, causing the temperature inside the hut to rapidly rise, as if a furnace appeared here.

"Do you see? This is my true form, this Yama Origin can’t be faked, right?"

Zhao Houcai sighed lightly, and said: "Countless years ago, our Yama Race’s Great Emperor suddenly died tragically, and in the following three years, the Yama Race faced catastrophic attacks, experts from various races joined forces to invade our ancestral land, slaughtering our clan.

That battle shook the heavens and earth, countless experts died, at that time, Feiyan and Yun’er were only about one year old, it was only after I fought desperately that I was able to escape with them, but during the escape, I suffered heavy injuries, my Yama Origin was severely damaged, and my cultivation was completely wasted!

Even Feiyan and Yun’er were poisoned by the Ancient Poison Sect, their origins depleted, we originally thought the three of us would surely die, but unexpectedly, after countless years of hardship, we actually managed to endure it.

However, although all three of us survived, we turned into something like the living dead, do you know what the living dead means?"

Zhao Houcai looked bitterly at Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi’s eyes narrowed slightly, scanning Zhao Houcai and the other two, and said: "You mean you seem alive but are actually long dead?"

"Pretty much."

Zhao Houcai said bitterly: "Over all these years, our cultivation has progressed with extreme difficulty, our appearances never change, no matter how many times we die, we will quickly come back to life, as if our lives are forever frozen."

"You can be resurrected after dying?"

Jiang Shi asked in surprise.

"Yes, originally the innate divine technique of our [Yama Race] was to resurrect after dying, but everyone only had one chance of resurrection, however, something unknown happened to the three of us, allowing continuous resurrection, over countless years, the three of us have resurrected at least seven times, each time dying and resurrecting, our cultivation resets to zero, each time starting from scratch, enduring the same hardships, so much so that now, I have just reached Martial Saint Third Tier."

Zhao Houcai replied.

Inside, Jiang Shi’s heart was turbulent, staring tightly at Zhao Houcai, feeling deeply incredulous.

Is what Zhao Houcai said all true?

It feels almost like a dream.

"What’s going on with the Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses?"

Jiang Shi’s narrowed his eyes.

"The Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses was indeed set up by me."

Zhao Houcai honestly replied, and said: "When I died for the fifth time, I obtained the opportunity there."

He looked helpless, and said: "As for this time, I deliberately triggered the dragon shadow there to help distract other ancient sages, to be frank, I do have something to ask, but I was worried about entrusting the wrong person, so I wanted to test a bit, I hope Young Hero Jiang won’t mind!"
