Chapter 47: Yin Sha Great Law
Instead of responding, Lei Dong continued to stare at the doorway with a slight smile. "Senior Sister Ding, please stop joking with us junior brothers."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air at the empty doorway began to distort, and a faint black mist swirled. Ding Wanyan's increasingly tall and beautiful figure materialized out of thin air before everyone. Her disciple uniform, black with red accents, and a cloak that fluttered in the wind gave her a less gentle and ethereal, and more heroic, cool, and stunning appearance. Her clear, bright eyes fixed on Lei Dong, and she asked with surprise, "Junior Brother Lei, your cultivation is clearly much lower than mine, why can you see through my Yin Sha Evasion Technique?"
Yin Sha Evasion Technique was a special evasion technique. Normally, its effect was quite ordinary, but when the surrounding environment was filled with Yin Sha energy, it was like a fish in water. This technique could use Sha Qi to conceal one's tracks, making one's movements erratic and ghost-like. If cultivated to a high level, in places with dense Yin Sha, it could achieve an effect similar to invisibility.
This was an evasion technique that could exert extremely strong effects in specific environments. However, its drawback was that not all places gathered Yin Sha energy. But since the Yin Sha Sect had managed to propagate this technique, it naturally had its reasons for existence. As a sect that primarily made a name for itself through Yin Sha, their utilization of Yin Sha had naturally reached a state of perfection. The Yin Sha Great Law was a very powerful spell of the Yin Sha Sect. Once cultivated to a profound level, its casting would generate vast amounts of Yin Sha energy covering the sky and earth. It was rumored that when the Golden Core Ancestor cast this great law, he could turn an area of tens of miles into a battlefield filled with Yin Sha energy.
And many of the Yin Sha Sect's spells would exhibit extremely powerful effects in places filled with Yin Sha. The Yin Sha Evasion Technique was one such example. Ding Wanyan's choice to cultivate the Yin Sha Evasion Technique clearly indicated her future path would be the Yin Sha Great Law.
However, the Yin Sha Great Law was not a simple spell. Not only was it extremely demanding on the cultivator's aptitude, but more importantly, its cultivation was incredibly difficult and even life-threatening. Otherwise, such a powerful great law would not be something everyone could learn. For Lei Dong, he wouldn't even dare to think about the Yin Sha Great Law. Putting aside the danger, the extra time and effort required for its cultivation alone was something Lei Dong could not afford. Perhaps only someone with exceptional talent like Ding Wanyan had a chance of succeeding. But even then, it was only a chance. Otherwise, the Yin Sha Great Law would not have become a renowned and feared great law in the Cultivation World. And the Yin Sha Sect's fame throughout the world, ranking among the Eight Great Sects, might owe a large part of its credit to the Yin Sha Great Law.
"Senior Sister Ding, you truly have astonishing courage to dare cultivate the Yin Sha Great Law." Lei Dong, having figured out the cause and effect, gave a wry smile. "The reason I could see through Senior Sister Ding's Yin Sha Evasion Technique was, firstly, because I primarily cultivate the Ghost Taming Art, so I naturally had to cultivate the Spirit Forging Art as well. After years of diligent practice, the Spirit Forging Art has achieved some success. My spiritual sense is not weak, so it is naturally easier to see through various evasion techniques. Secondly, it's also because Senior Sister, you may not have been cultivating the Yin Sha Evasion Technique for long and might not be too familiar with it. Just now, during the shift of positions, you revealed some flaws, and it wasn't entirely in sync with the flowing Yin Sha."
Ding Wanyan also showed a hint of admiration towards Lei Dong, praising, "I don't even know if I can successfully cultivate it yet. Junior Brother Lei is indeed extraordinary. I did feel something was not running smoothly just now, but I didn't pay much attention. I've made a fool of myself in front of Junior Brother Lei."
Since Lei Dong became a personal disciple, his interactions with Ding Wanyan had increased exponentially. Besides meeting frequently at the Ancestor's lectures, in private, Lei Dong had deliberately sought to befriend her. Although their interactions were not excessively frequent, their personal relationship had slowly solidified and warmed up over time, far from the strangers they were at first.
The two of them listened as Lei Dong and Ding Wanyan exchanged compliments. While they found it amusing in their hearts, their faces remained solemn. They dared to be casual with Lei Dong, but in front of Ding Wanyan, their elder sister, they barely dared to breathe. Especially after speaking ill of Ding Wanyan behind her back, she had certainly heard them. If they weren't discreet now, wouldn't they be walking right into a trap?
"You two can go back first. Senior Sister Ding and I have important matters to discuss." Before Ding Wanyan could say much, she started shooing them away.
Chen Ge and Wei Hua dared not voice any objection. They quickly bowed and retreated. However, as they reached the doorway, Chen Ge gave Lei Dong a meaningful wink and then gestured towards Ding Wanyan with his chin. Even if Lei Dong used his backside to think, he knew this guy was definitely not suggesting anything proper.
Suddenly, Ding Wanyan seemed to be about to turn back. They quickly put on solemn expressions and retreated with Wei Hua.
After they left, Ding Wanyan let out a heavy sigh of relief, her face feeling a little hot for some reason. She had indeed come to find Lei Dong, but she hadn't expected Chen Ge and Wei Hua to be there too. Hesitating, she had thought about quietly leaving, but because of Chen Ge's annoying words, she had become agitated and revealed a flaw that Lei Dong saw through and pointed out. Thus, she had no choice but to brace herself, feign composure, and chase them away.
Perhaps it was due to the awkwardness in her heart, but for a moment, Ding Wanyan didn't know what to say. Lei Dong, assuming Ding Wanyan was gathering her thoughts, also stood silently, appearing to be all ears.
Ding Wanyan's heart was in turmoil. She wondered if Junior Brother Lei was overthinking things. Would he think she was interested in him, which was why she came to visit? Before coming, she hadn't felt there was anything wrong with visiting Lei Dong. However, the reality had exceeded her expectations. Through a twist of fate, it had created an extremely ambiguous atmosphere. Neither of them spoke, making the atmosphere even more awkward and strange.
Lei Dong was also inwardly surprised. What was the meaning of Senior Sister Ding's shy, delicate, and slightly flushed appearance? Could it be that she had feelings for him? In the past, Lei Dong had never considered this possibility. He had always been self-aware, knowing that with Ding Wanyan's talent and looks, he was far from worthy of her. Rather than seeking humiliation, it was better to be sensible and not think about such unreliable things.
Of course, nothing was absolute. They were both young men and women. After interacting for a long time, it was normal for unspoken feelings to develop. However, after a moment of heart flutter, Lei Dong immediately dismissed the thought. Although Senior Sister Ding was a good match, his own aptitude was average. It was not easy for him to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm. If he focused his mind on romantic matters and missed the best cultivation age, he might be stuck at the Qi Refining Stage for the rest of his life and make no further progress.
However, continuing to be this awkward was not an option. It would likely only make things worse. Lei Dong coughed a couple of times and picked a topic. "Senior Sister Ding, please don't be upset. Chen Ge is usually a bit of a chatterbox, but he has a good heart. I hope Senior Sister Ding doesn't take it to heart."
Hearing Lei Dong speak so coherently actually cleared Ding Wanyan's mind a little. Her complexion recovered slightly, and she shook her head. "As the top personal disciple of this batch from the Ancestor, it's inevitable that people will gossip behind my back. If I were to dwell on every word, wouldn't I be making things difficult for myself?"
"Senior Sister Ding is indeed magnanimous," Lei Dong praised indifferently.
Taking a deep breath, Ding Wanyan also cleared her mind of miscellaneous thoughts and recalled the purpose of her visit. She took out a bottle of pills from her Storage Belt and handed it over. "Junior Brother Lei, you don't cultivate Sha arts. Even if you constantly circulate your energy to resist, after staying in this Yin Sha place for a long time, your bloodline will inevitably be tainted with some Yin Sha to varying degrees. Over time, it will harm your body. This bottle of Sha Dispelling Pills contains ten pills. You must take one every month to remove the Sha Qi."
Lei Dong was somewhat taken aback. What was the meaning of Senior Sister Ding's concern for him? Could it be that she really had feelings for him?
