Sending Treasures-Shentu Nantian, the Treasure-Bringing Boy

"Mother-in-law!"

Shentu Nantian hurriedly helped Granny Thousand Hands up. The sudden scene was completely beyond his control. Looking at the Lin Family Old Matriarch with murderous intent on her face, Shentu Nantian felt a deep sense of fear.

He genuinely suspected that the Lin Family Old Matriarch would stop at nothing to exterminate the Shentu Family members, including him!

Granny Thousand Hands struggled to her feet, a bitter smile appearing on her aged face. Ten thousand years ago, she had fought against the Lin Family Old Matriarch. Even then, she was not as good as the Lin Family Old Matriarch. Now, the gap was even greater. In addition, several elders of the Lin family attacked together, which had already damaged Granny Thousand Hands' meridians.

As for the other elders of the Shentu Family, they didn't dare to help Granny Thousand Hands at all. They were dumbfounded at this moment, unaware that the Empress's relic had such a major flaw.

At this point, there's no room for further excuses.

If the red-eyed wolf had died from its body exploding, it could be explained by its weakness in being unable to withstand the immense power of the Empress's relic. However, its death from old age, even turning into a skeleton, is completely inexplicable. Only Evil Energy could cause such a consequence.

The elders of the Shentu Family were all worried about being caught in the crossfire.

This is on Lin family territory; it wouldn't be difficult for Old Madam Lin to kill them right here!

The result was nothing more than the Lin family and the Shentu Family completely breaking off relations and going to war.

Many elders of the Shentu Family were eager to clear their names, but Shentu Nantian spoke first, "Old Madam! This junior was unaware that the Empress's relic had such a defect, nor did he know why it was like this. This has nothing to do with this junior."

Hearing Shentu Nantian's words, Lin Xin Tong frowned. This man was utterly shameless!

Old Madam Lin, holding a dragon-headed cane, walked towards Shentu Nantian.

Shentu Nantian held his breath. Just as he was about to say something more, Old Madam Lin suddenly made her move, her wrinkled hand lashing down like lightning.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Old Madam Lin delivered a solid slap to Shentu Nantian's face!

This slap completely smashed Shentu Nantian's face, sending more than a dozen teeth flying. Shentu Nantian spun around in the air like a top more than a dozen times before crashing heavily to the ground!

"Ah... ah ah..."

Shentu Nantian covered his face, his whole body trembling. His once handsome and dashing face was now a bloody mess.

Old Madam Lin's attack also affected Shentu Nantian's soul sea injury. Shentu Nantian was already exhausted after being Yi Yun, and now he was severely injured again. Shentu Nantian felt as if ten thousand heavy hammers were constantly hitting his head. His brain was roaring and the pain was excruciating!

Shentu Nantian raised his head, blood gushing from his nostrils and ears. Just a moment ago, the murderous intent that Old Madam Lin had unleashed made him almost think he was going to die.

This woman, who has been in charge of the Lin family's internal affairs for over ten thousand years, appears kind and approachable, but when she gets angry, she sends chills down your spine!

"Thump!"

Old Madam Lin's dragon-headed cane slammed heavily on the ground with a dull thud, and the floor tiles made of Tiangang clay beneath her feet were shattered into dust!

"Don't treat me like a three-year-old child! You wicked wolf, you have designs Xin Tong Xintong. I'm old and blind, and I was almost fooled by you. If it weren't for young friend Yun, I would have made a grave mistake and would have no face to face the ancestors of the Lin family after my death!"

Having held a high position for so long, Old Madam Lin's anger now puts immense pressure on Shentu Nantian. Coupled with the injury to his soul sea, he is truly struggling to withstand the murderous intent emanating from Old Madam Lin!

"Hand over the Empress's ancient formula! Reveal the secrets and location of that hidden realm!!"

Under the oppressive aura of Old Madam Lin, Shentu Nantian could hardly breathe. At this moment, Granny Thousand Hands gave a bitter laugh and said, "What good will it do to tell us? It's just a Soul Contract. We'll die if we don't tell, but do you think you'll let us go if we do?"

Granny Thousand Hands was almost in despair. She had no complaints about being defeated by Old Madam Lin, but today she was defeated by a mere teenager!

She was unwilling to accept it!!

Granny Thousand Hands looked at Yi Yun, her heart filled with boundless hatred!

All of this is thanks to that little beast. What was originally a tremendous benefit for the Shentu Family has now become a disaster!

"You may not want to say it, but someone will say that not everyone seeks death like you."

As Old Madam Lin spoke, she looked at Shentu Nantian. The reason she didn't kill Shentu Nantian with one blow was to find out the whereabouts of the Empress Secret Realm.

Shentu Nantian's lips twitched, and various thoughts flashed through his mind. The situation was truly terrible.

Even if he reveals the location of the secret realm, his chances of survival are slim. Unless he enters into another Soul Contract with Old Madam Lin, stipulating in the contract that he can leave the Lin family as long as he reveals the location of the secret realm.

Shentu Nantian's life had always been smooth sailing; he had never encountered such a life-or-death crisis before. This trip to the Lin family was originally a great opportunity for him, with beauties and top-tier martial arts techniques all to be his. But in the end, it turned into his nightmare!

Just as Shentu Nantian was suffering from the triple torment of the threat of death, physical pain, and severe damage to his spiritual sea, Yi Yun raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Above the sky, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi converged from all directions, forming a huge cloud.

This cloud formation was over ten miles wide, surrounded by gold, while its very center displayed a dazzling array of colors—it was absolutely stunning!

From the cloud, Yi Yun could sense an astonishingly pure Pure Yang Energy. Yi Yun knew that this primordial energy cloud was formed after the explosion of the Empress's relic.

The Empress Relic was crafted using the natal bone of Ancient Remnant Species as its material, along with numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures pure Yang nature.

The ancient Savage Heaven Master who wrote the ancient formula for the Empress's relic wanted to introduce the purest Pure Yang Energy into the Empress's body to replenish Yin with Yang and open up the Fatal Meridian throughout her body.

However, it is too difficult to refine such intense and pure Pure Yang Energy into a relic. When pure Yang energy reaches its extreme, it will explode.

So the ancient Savage Heaven Master added a trace of extremely yin and evil power to the relic to adjust its balance. Now this extremely yin and evil power has been drawn away by Yi Yun. The Pure Yang Power exploded, but it did not disappear. It gathered in the sky and formed a huge seven-colored primordial energy cloud.

In a few more hours, this cloud of primordial energy will dissipate, and in the meantime, this place will become a treasure trove for cultivating pure Yang techniques.

However, even the most powerful pure Yang martial artist can only absorb a very limited amount of Pure Yang Energy in these few hours; it can be described as a drop in the ocean.

But Yi Yun is different. With the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun can absorb all the Pure Yang Power into the Purple Crystal and seal it away without anyone noticing!

This primordial energy cloud is a huge treasure for Yi Yun!

Thinking of this, Yi Yun felt excited.

Purple Crystal absorbs energy without leaving a trace. After an hour or two, people will only think that the Pure Yang Vital Energy has dissipated on its own, and will not know that it has actually been devoured by the Purple Crystal.

Without hesitation, Yi Yun manipulated the Purple Crystal to continuously absorb the Pure Yang Energy from the sky.

This Pure Yang Energy was so pure that Yi Yun had never come into contact with energy of such a high quality before.

Moreover, these energies are not as violent as imagined. The ancient Savage Heaven Master who invented the ancient formula used some unknown method to make these pure yang energies as gentle as possible and easy to absorb.

It's important to understand that in ancient times, when that peerless empress sought to heal her congenitally severed Fatal Meridian, she was still very young, and her cultivation was naturally limited. How could she possibly withstand such excessively violent Pure Yang Power?

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"

In Yi Yun's vision, he could see endless colorful light spots surging towards him; no one but Yi Yun could see these light spots.

Yi Yun felt as if his body had turned into a sponge, and those light spots were like the sweetest spring water, which he greedily absorbed.

The light spots became more numerous and denser. In the Energy Vision, Yi Yun's own body seemed to have transformed into a sun, radiating seven-colored light!

Yi Yun felt as if he had been enlightened, a warm and Yi Yun power washing over his entire body from head to toe, penetrating deep into his bones, every meridian, and his internal organs.

Yi Yun felt an indescribable sense of comfort and ease; the feeling made Yi Yun feel as if his entire being had been elevated.

He clearly felt that every cell in his body was absorbing Pure Yang Power, growing and evolving under its Pure Yang Power.

The cells became increasingly vibrant, as if they possessed autonomous life, and their arrangement seemed more perfect, conforming to some kind of law.

These cellular changes made Yi Yun realize that her body seemed to be changing subtly.

Could it be that...

Suddenly, Yi Yun had a thought. He realized a possibility: his Pure Yang Body might have evolved once again!

From the very beginning, after Yi Yun obtained the Pure Yang Spirit, he acquired the most basic Pure Yang Body. Now, however, he has evolved to a higher level. Although he is not yet at the level of a perfect Pure Yang Body, he is getting closer and closer to it!

Thinking about all this, Yi Yun felt extremely happy.

Shentu Nantian is practically a treasure-giving boy!

However, it's really quite unfair of me to give him such a treasure and then betray him like this...

Yi Yun stroked his chin, a smile appearing on his lips. Clearly, he felt no remorse whatsoever.

Shentu Nantian's face was covered in blood. He naturally had no idea what Yi Yun was thinking at that moment, let alone that Yi Yun was frantically absorbing the Empress Relic that the Shentu Family had refined at great cost.

Moreover, Yi Yun had already discarded the Evil Energy within it; what he absorbed was the essence of the essence, without any side effects.

If Shentu Nantian knew all this, he would probably be so angry that he would explode and die.

[A reader asked why Granny Thousand Hands was able to attack Yi Yun under the constraints of the Soul Contract? Is it a bug?]

[When the author was writing Silkworm Cocoon, this issue was considered. The Soul Contract is designed to be a punishment for breaking the contract, not a pre-emptive protection—that would be too simplistic. Besides, Granny Thousand Hands' attack on Yi Yun didn't violate the contract. The contract stipulated that if Yi Yun found a flaw in the relic, Granny Thousand Hands would reveal the secret of the Empress Secret Realm.]
