Chapter 423 - 32: Middle-Stage Core Formation!
Just as Zhou Xun intruded, he suddenly discovered a bright restriction emitting a faint glow at the lower part of Jiang Wanning’s body.
It was clearly set up by Old Demon Yulu, precisely to prevent today’s situation.
The Power of Yin Essence of this woman is crucial for his son Master Hongyu’s breakthrough, so naturally, he was cautious,
After all, if Jiang Wanning was unwilling to cooperate, it would mean his arrangements were made in vain for someone else, and the scheming Old Demon Yulu would surely not make such a mistake.
Besides himself and Master Hongyu, no one else has a way to lift this restriction.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xun himself is a Tier Three Low-Grade Array Master, dealing with a Tier Three Restriction might be slower but can certainly be resolved.
However, upon seeing this restriction, Zhou Xun realized that if he forced it, he would definitely alarm the old demon, and possibly be drawn into yet another great battle.
But the arrow is on the string and must be released,
This Power of Yin Essence is key to solving the Blood Shadow Technique and ensuring his own body’s safe arrival in Central Continent!
Even if he must confront Old Demon Yulu head-on, he must take action!
Thus, Zhou Xun did not hesitate at all,
Hands forming spells, mana surged, a few strands of weak spiritual power were released, shooting onto the restriction.
"Puchi!"
A weak sound emitted as the restriction was broken, breached!
Without a moment of delay, Zhou Xun continued his next move!
...
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Yulu Valley, an elder wearing a black robe with a hooked nose and sinister gaze suddenly opened his eyes.
Immediately forming spells with his hands, understanding what happened right away,
"Not good, who forcefully broke my restriction!"
Previously when he abducted Jiang Wanning, during her unconscious state, Old Demon Yulu placed a restriction on her lower body, which ordinary people couldn’t unlock.
This was to prevent this woman’s spirit body’s Power of Yin Essence from being wasted.
This was reserved for his own son, Master Hongyu,
Now that the restriction was broken, it was clearly not ordinary,
After all, his own son possesses the spell to unlock this restriction, whenever he wished to use it, naturally he could open it without resorting to such brute force!
Furthermore, Cuihu Mountain has his son and disciple, both Core Formation cultivators.
Exactly who can bypass the blockades of two Core Formation cultivators and forcefully break this restriction!
Could it be that they have met with foul play?
Thinking this, Old Demon Yulu’s heart shook, hurriedly heading to check on the Soul Lamp’s repository,
Seeing his beloved son’s Soul Lamp still there, he immediately sighed in relief, indicating they were still alive.
But with the restriction broken, something must be amiss!
Moreover, the one who can breach his restriction must not be weak, his own son and disciple might truly be unable to contend!
"It seems something has gone wrong, I must go immediately!"
Immediately forming spells, a black mist arose from nowhere, enveloping the elder, transforming into a black spirit light, speeding towards Cuihu Mountain.
So fast, it was astonishing!
...
In Jiang Wanning’s Cave Mansion at Cuihu Mountain, Zhou Xun broke the restriction, continuing to penetrate!
From right to negative, Yin and Yang converged!
Their vital energies instantly connected, a peculiar force was suddenly triggered,
Flowing from Jiang Wanning into Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun felt his spirit tremble, guiding this force to circulate along the meridians,
As this force traveled throughout his body, Zhou Xun felt countless mottled breaths drawn out from every corner, then worn away by this force.
At the same time, Zhou Xun felt a long-lost relaxation, the constant feeling of being watched previously vanished instantly.
He knew this was the mark left by the Blood Shadow Technique cleansed by the Yin Essence of the Purifying True Spirit Body.
"Without the Blood Shadow Technique, how could the True Monarch of Profound Control possibly find me!"
Zhou Xun rejoiced,
Then began immersing himself fully in the satisfaction brought by the Path of Heaven and Earth Yin Yang.
While both were indulged at this moment,
The Yin Essence surrounding Zhou Xun’s meridians circulated several times before finally merging into the Golden Core in the dantian.
Immediately, a powerful suction force arrived, Zhou Xun’s "Purple Sky Thunder Technique" started activating unconsciously,
Outside the cave, spiritual qi began forming a small vortex, then through Zhou Xun’s body, entering meridians, after a grand circulation through the spell, merging into the Golden Core in the dantian.
With time, more and more mana poured into the Golden Core,
Like a reservoir continuously being filled, waiting for the moment to reach full capacity!
Unknown how long it was, at the moment Zhou Xun reached the peak with Jiang Wanning, a faint sound arrived from his dantian!
The entire Inner Core suddenly transformed, growing several sizes, becoming vibrant and brimming with Spirit Charm.
Zhou Xun’s aura surged tremendously!
"Middle-Stage Core Formation, reached!"
...
Elsewhere, within another nearby cave mansion, a middle-aged man with a sinister face and hooked nose suddenly furrowed his brow.
This man is the sole son of Old Demon Yulu, Master Hongyu.
Just now, he sensed a deep unease, as if something extremely important had left him, leaving him upset.
"What exactly happened?"
The middle-aged man murmured, beginning to think carefully.
A cultivator’s premonition often predicts a real event, not baseless.
Each cultivator values this kind of intuition deeply.
Soon, the middle-aged man began meticulously eliminating possibilities, when suddenly recalling Jiang Wanning nearby, an odd feeling arose.
"Could it be her?"
But his cave mansion was merely less than five miles away, with careful arrangements made, so there shouldn’t be issues.
After a long while, the middle-aged man still decided to check in person.
...
Inside Jiang Wanning’s bedroom, in front of an antique-style bed, white silk skirts, inner robes, embroidered socks, and shoes were scattered...
A daughter’s unique fragrance filled the air, enchanting and stirring.
Moments later, a translucent curtain was parted, with a delicate foot akin to jade stepping out, gently pressing against the ground.
"Miss Jiang, don’t move rashly after the initial time, it’s better to rest for a while!" Zhou Xun spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanning’s face blushed, recalling the previous frenzy, a hint of embarrassment appeared at the corner of her eye, she murmured softly like a mosquito:
"I will listen to you, sir!"
Then she was once again embraced into a broad chest.
Truly the taste of sweetness, especially when faced with a man like Zhou Xun.
Jiang Wanning bit her silver tooth tightly, and before long, she couldn’t help softly pleading again.
She hadn’t expected Zhou Xun to be so strong,
"The people in the stories are not as formidable as you, sir!"
After a while longer, the two rested, chatting together.
Just then, Zhou Xun’s eyebrows slightly furrowed,
Suddenly, noise came from outside the cave, it was indeed the voice of Master Hongyu’s disciple Tiehan:
"Jiang Wanning, when did you set up an array, come out!"
