Chu Feng now felt that, as a grown man, he was actually on the verge of being completely won over by Senior Sister Yuyan!
It wasn’t that he couldn’t resist. She was just too good at this.
If his master had been captivating at first glance, then Senior Sister Yuyan was the type who became more and more captivating the longer you spent time with her.
Chu Feng obediently followed in her footsteps. He didn’t know how long they had been walking until his body began to feel fatigued. Finally, a glimmer of light appeared ahead.
A faint light was shining from deep within the pitch-black cave. Could it be the exit?
Wait… no, there was no wind.
If that light signified the exit, he should be able to feel a breeze from where he was standing.
Seeing this, Bai Yuyan’s beautiful eyes lit up with joy. They had arrived. As long as she obtained the Yin-Yang Pearl, her junior brother would be able to condense a Yin-Yang spiritual root.
At that point, it would be a perfect match for her own Profound Jade spiritual root. Once they became Dao partners, dual cultivation would benefit them both greatly.
Sure enough, when Chu Feng got closer, it wasn’t an exit; it was a glowing pearl, radiating dazzling light that made him instinctively squint.
Noticing this, Bai Yuyan raised her fair hand and waved it gently in front of him. Chu Feng’s eyes instantly adapted.
No need to guess. It was surely Senior Sister Yuyan helping him again.
“Thank you, Senior Sister.”
“Alright, stop saying thank you, Junior Brother. If you keep saying that, it feels like you’re treating your senior sister like an outsider.”
Bai Yuyan stepped forward and gently picked up the Yin-Yang Pearl. The moment it touched her hand, she felt both icy cold and burning hot sensations at once.
“Junior Brother, take this.”
“Ah?!”
Chu Feng looked at the pearl in Bai Yuyan’s hand. It was about half the size of a fist! There was no way he could swallow something like that.
“Senior Sister Yuyan, I think this is a bit…”
“Don’t worry~ Just leave everything to your senior sister.”
As she finished speaking, Bai Yuyan lightly scratched Chu Feng’s skin with her fingertip and let a drop of his blood fall onto the Yin-Yang Pearl.
Immediately, the pearl shrank to the size of a thumb.
With a serious expression, Bai Yuyan said, “Junior Brother, once you swallow it, no matter what happens, you must endure it. After you succeed, you’ll have a spiritual root and be able to embark on the path of cultivation.”
Embark on the path of cultivation!
Upon hearing those words, Chu Feng’s whole body trembled. Just thinking about riding swords through the skies and splitting mountains or seas…who wouldn’t be excited?
Besides, since he had ended up in this cultivation world, it must mean he was fated to be here. In that case…cultivation, here I come!
“Understood, Senior Sister Yuyan.”
Chu Feng took the Yin-Yang Pearl and swallowed it in one go.
Cough!
Right after swallowing the pearl, Chu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood. The next moment, his stomach was gripped by icy pain only to be replaced a moment later by a burning heat.
Seeing the pained expression on her junior brother’s face, Bai Yuyan immediately grasped his hands tightly.
“Junior Brother, hang in there!”
Bai Yuyan bit her cherry lips tightly. Watching him suffer like this, she was powerless to help. This was something only he could endure on his own.
Hearing her words, Chu Feng clenched his teeth and held on with all his strength. But suddenly, everything went black.
Am I… going to be reincarnated again?
Just as that thought formed, a faint light appeared before his eyes. He reached out toward it. White light flared.
Moments later, the light faded and what Chu Feng saw next left him utterly stunned.
A massive Yin-Yang diagram appeared before him, slowly rotating. It seemed to represent everything in this world: all things, the forces of yin and yang, tightly bound, and inseparable.
Buzz—
A faint figure emerged. Upon seeing Chu Feng, the figure let out a long breath and said slowly, “After countless millennia… at last, I’ve finally found the destined one.”
Destined one?
Chu Feng looked around and, seeing no one else present, pointed at himself and asked, “Are you talking to me?”
“Heh, of course I am.”
With a wave of his hand, the figure brought Chu Feng right before him.
Gazing at Chu Feng, the figure nodded in satisfaction.
“Though you’re a bit young… not bad. Kid, you and I… we’re from the same world.”
“!!!”
What?!
With a wave of his illusory hand, a massive projection appeared before Chu Feng: towering skyscrapers, streams of bustling people, cars beeping non-stop…
“In ancient times, our world and this one were connected. But something major happened in this world. A drastic change in the laws of heaven and earth. As a result, it was forced to sever its ties with our original world. Still, some people, by chance or fate, managed to come here. The only thing is, the time they arrive in this world is random.”
“As for me, I was the mighty Yin-Yang Sage who once shook the world tens of thousands of years ago. Later, with my lifespan nearing its end, I had no choice but to enter meditation here. Young one, are you ready to accept my legacy?”
It was all too much to process. Chu Feng still hadn’t come to his senses when, the next second, a warm sensation suddenly rose from within his body.
“It’s done, young one. You’ve already accepted my legacy.”
“Huh!? Wait a minute, you can’t just force this on someone like that!”
Chu Feng was stunned. He had just spaced out for a second, and suddenly he’d inherited someone’s legacy? Wasn’t this way too reckless? People might even think he was getting scammed into something!
“There’s no time, young one. Remember this: what you’ve received is the Yin-Yang Spiritual Root. If you want to break through to the next major realm, you must dual cultivate with a woman who has the Profound Jade Spiritual Root and preferably one with fourth-rank cultivation.”
With that, the illusory figure disappeared.
“Hey! No, wait a second—”
Before Chu Feng could finish, his head grew heavy, and his vision began to blur.
“Junior Brother… Junior Brother…”
A pleasant voice reached his ears. Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes with effort and saw Senior Sister Yu Yan looking at him with a worried expression.
“Thank goodness! Junior Brother, you did it!”
Before Chu Feng could react, Bai Yuyan suddenly hugged him. A gentle fragrance instantly surrounded him. It felt light, elegant, and soothing. Her soft, delicate body wrapped around him, making it hard for him to pull away.
“Junior Brother really is the best…”
Bai Yuyan whispered into Chu Feng’s ear. Her warm breath carried a faint orchid scent that brushed against him. In that instant, Chu Feng felt a tingling numbness spread through his body.
Before long, Bai Yuyan quickly let go and stepped back a little. Chu Feng was left in a daze…it almost felt like a dream. But the lingering fragrance at the tip of his nose reminded him it was very real.
“Senior Sister Yuyan, I…”
“Shh,” Bai Yuyan pressed a finger to Chu Feng’s lips and said, “Whatever you want to say, wait until later. For now, Junior Brother should focus on stabilizing your spiritual root.”
It was only then that Chu Feng noticed a glowing light coming from his dantian. If it were shining from the center of his chest, people might even mistake him for Ultraman!
“Senior Sister Yuyan, how do I stabilize the spiritual root?”
Chu Feng was at a loss. He had never cultivated before and had no idea how to stabilize a spiritual root.
“No worries. Just leave everything to your senior sister.”
Bai Yuyan extended her index finger, and a wisp of true qi emerged from her fingertip, slowly flowing toward Chu Feng.
“Junior Brother, don’t be nervous. Relax your body.”
Hearing Bai Yuyan’s words, Chu Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Bai Yuyan channeled her true qi into Chu Feng’s body to help him refine the spiritual root. Before long, yet another young prodigy would rise in the world of cultivation.
