Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Although he had decided to major in the Heaven-Mending Skill, Lü Yang harbored no selfish desires. It was purely a choice made out of consideration for his Great Dao; he had to do it.

He thought, "Come to think of it, the Heaven-Mending Skill is actually long outdated."

Thinking back to the years when he was still at the Foundation Establishment stage, the Heaven-Mending Skill had been a great asset, and the Chen Xin’an father-and-son duo were two great generals under his command. Whenever they encountered disobedient male cultivators, it was usually those two who stepped up to interrogate them. Of course, he wasn’t an unreasonable person. Knowing it would be too exhausting if they did all the interrogations, he would usually share some of the workload. For instance, he handled the female cultivators himself.

Unfortunately, as he broke through to the Golden Core stage and his opponents all rose to the Perfected Lord level, the Heaven-Mending Skill—which was only effective against Foundation Establishment cultivators—was phased out.

"Strictly speaking, though, the Heaven-Mending Skill shouldn’t stop at the Foundation Establishment stage," he thought as he stood up. "After all, the First Generation Heaven Mending Peak Master was at least a Great Perfected Lord when he started. How could the Cultivation Technique he left behind be useless at the Golden Core stage? That hardly fits the First Generation Peak Master’s status. In all likelihood, he deliberately held something back when passing it down."

He recalled his gains from exploring Heaven Mending Peak in his Previous Life. Deep inside the peak was an ancestral hall housing a memorial tablet.

At that time, the Immortal Core Survival Guide had even issued a warning. It stated that the tablet was a "minor trap, avoid touching if possible." Back then, he had just restarted and only possessed a single Dao Body. His strength was only at the level of the Fake Golden Position, so he didn’t dare act recklessly or investigate the tablet’s secrets.

But things were different now.

He had inherited the Cultivation of his Previous Life. His strength was so great that beneath the Great Perfected Lord level, perhaps only Ang Xiao, who was at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, could fight him.

He scoffed internally, "Can a mere memorial tablet kill me?"

With this in mind, Lü Yang immediately set off. Transforming into a gentle breeze, he quietly infiltrated Heaven Mending Peak and arrived at the ancestral hall hidden within the void. A memorial tablet immediately caught his eye.

[Ancestral Master of Treasure Light and Cold]

He pondered, "Speaking of which, I originally thought this might be Taiyin Immortal Venerable of the Celestial Mansion. But on second thought, that guess was probably incorrect."

This was because Taiyin Immortal Venerable possessed a Fruit. Her Void Attainment Position was the Fruit of Money, and she also held the Celestial Mansion’s Emperor Fruit, Taiyin Moist Earth. However, neither of these seemed to have any connection with the Heaven-Mending Skill. At most, the Fruit of Money had a tiny bit of relevance.

"I’ll just take a look and see!" he decided.

Lü Yang reached out and grabbed the tablet. As the saying goes, true skill bolsters one’s courage; he couldn’t be bothered to test it cautiously and directly poured his Spiritual perception into it.

BOOM!

In an instant, Lü Yang felt his Spiritual perception come into contact with another, deeply hidden Spiritual perception. The two collided, intertwined, and then rapidly erupted.

He thought coldly, "Trying to pull my consciousness into it? Keep dreaming!"

Lü Yang’s eyes flickered as he sensed a bizarre, treacherous gravitational pull. However, with his Dao Heart Perfection, this level of attraction couldn’t shake him in the slightest.

The two sides remained in a stalemate for a while. Ultimately, the Spiritual perception within the tablet surrendered first, pouring outward to envelop Lü Yang’s Spiritual perception instead.

The next second, Lü Yang’s vision seemed to split in two. One perspective remained in the ancestral hall, while the other arrived in a magnificent palace. The hall lacked any superfluous furniture, containing only a massive pink double bed concealed by four heavy curtains.

A faint, beautiful silhouette could be seen on the bed.

Soon, as Lü Yang cast his gaze over, a silvery, bell-like laughter drifted from behind the curtains, inexplicably stirring up deep desires.

"How many years has it been?

"It truly is a case of each generation being worse than the last. I’ve been so empty I was on the verge of going mad all these years. Finally, a junior at the Golden Core Level has arrived to fill the void."

Hearing this, Lü Yang’s expression immediately turned serious.

"...First Generation Peak Master?"

"That would be me."

As the voice faded, the curtains were drawn back, revealing the figure’s true appearance. What met his eyes was a swath of jade-like luster, so dazzlingly white it was almost blinding.

On the large bed lay a breathtakingly beautiful woman reclining on her side, her delicate hand resting by her ear. Her fiery red lips exhaled a sweet, harmonious breath, and each inhale and exhale was accompanied by a soft, soul-hooking pant. She was completely unclad, save for a purple palace dress half-worn and half-draped over her alluring body.

Lü Yang was stunned by the sight.

"She’s actually a woman?" he thought in surprise.

To be honest, as a veteran researcher of the Heaven-Mending Skill, he had always assumed that the First Generation Heaven Mending Peak Master who created such a miraculous technique must be a man. This was because the Heaven-Mending Skill contained far too many poses. Especially when it came to men plucking the Yin to nourish their Yang from women, the sheer variety of methods was unbelievable. Conversely, the techniques for women plucking the Yang from men, while still numerous, paled in comparison to the former.

"I am Bu Tianque."

Looking at Lü Yang, the peerless beauty on the bed curled her red lips into a smile. "I’m guessing... you must be wondering why I am a woman?"

"...You have a keen eye, Daoist," Lü Yang nodded.

"Too narrow! Your perspective is too narrow!" Bu Tianque covered her mouth and chuckled softly. "But I suppose that’s normal. After all, the Heaven-Mending Skill I left behind back then was originally a Dharma Gate that leaned more heavily toward male practitioners plucking essence.

"Thinking back, I was far too young back then. Having just achieved my Golden Core, my comprehension of the Yin Yang Dao was far from thorough, which is why I was still hung up on this stinking fleshly vessel... However, by the time I left this strand of Spiritual perception in the tablet, I had completely penetrated the profound mysteries of Yin and Yang.

"That is why I appear in this form now."

Lü Yang was speechless.

Hearing Bu Tianque’s explanation, a rather disturbing suspicion began to form in Lü Yang’s mind. After a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice, "Was the Celestial Mother’s Birth Profound Light left by you, Daoist?"

"...Hm?" At those words, Bu Tianque’s face lit up with pleasant surprise. "So you are a fellow enthusiast of the Dao! No wonder you and I share such an affinity!"

Lü Yang’s face instantly turned ashen.

There was no mistaking it now. This Bu Tianque... was definitely originally a man! His current appearance as a peerless beauty was actually the result of reversing Yin and Yang!

Seeing his expression, Bu Tianque blinked her beautiful eyes. "Oh? It seems you still find it hard to accept. The Yin Yang Dao, Celestial and Human Transformation—these physical vessels are just bags of skin. Male or female, what difference does it make?"

"Say no more," Lü Yang waved his hand dismissively. "I only want to ask you one thing, Daoist. Does the Heaven-Mending Skill contain an even more profound Dharma Gate? If so, can you hand it over to me?"

"Of course it does." Bu Tianque nodded. "The Heaven-Mending Skill was created before my Cultivation reached Major Mastery, back when I was still a man. Strictly speaking, it is merely the first half. Later, I reversed Yin and Yang and, using a female body, created another Cultivation Technique called the Swallowing Dao Demonic Skill. That serves as the second half.

"When both parts are merged as one, that is my fundamental Daoist Skill.

"What? Do you want it, Daoist?" At this, Bu Tianque shook her head with a hint of regret. "It’s a pity. Given your temperament and aptitude, I’m afraid you won’t be able to obtain the Swallowing Dao Demonic Skill."

"Why not?" Lü Yang frowned.

Hearing this, Bu Tianque spread her arms, completely unbothered as the purple robe slipped down, leaving all the red, pink, and dark shades fully exposed. She merely giggled charmingly. "I can see you’re quite familiar with the Heaven-Mending Skill, so how could you not understand? Our Heaven Mending Peak has always taught Cultivation Techniques through personal, hands-on instruction... If you truly want to obtain the Swallowing Dao Demonic Skill, your only option is to first pluck my essence to receive the specific Dharma Gate.

"And then..."

At this point, Bu Tianque’s figure suddenly began to change. The previously soft, massive breasts hardened into firm pectoral muscles, and her curvaceous body grew thick and muscular. In mere moments, he had completely transformed.

No longer a peerless beauty, he had become a heroic, handsome man with a chiseled physique, exuding pure masculine vigor from head to toe.

"...Then, I will teach you hand-in-hand," the heroic man said as he thrust out his hips and chuckled softly. "Under my guidance, we will personally test out the Swallowing Dao Demonic Skill once... Only then will you have truly mastered it.

"So? Do you wish to learn it, Daoist?

"If you truly want to learn, I won’t be stingy about teaching you.

"Don’t worry. I’ll be very gentle."
