"Could it be that Senior is also a controller of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman?"
Ling Qingzhu's eyes were filled with surprise and even reverence, and her address had changed to "Senior."
According to the records of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, every controller of an Ancestor Talisman was an earth-shattering expert with extremely formidable strength.
However, upon hearing this, the master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion's expression stiffened, and he cleared his throat before speaking.
"Cough, cough, of course not. If I had obtained the Devouring Ancestral Talisman back then, I wouldn't have ended up perishing here."
"Then what is Senior's connection to the Lord of Devourment?"
Ling Qingzhu was somewhat disappointed, but her words still carried a hint of respect. After all, no matter what, this person was a successor of the Lord of Devourment.
But standing beside Ling Qingzhu, the true body of the Lord of Devourment she was thinking of couldn't help but lower his head slightly, feeling a sense of shame. He forcefully changed the subject.
"I think it's more important to decide the ownership of this Nirvana Heart first. If those people break in, things could get complicated. Don't you agree?"
"Heh heh, don't worry, junior. Your talents far surpass those mediocre individuals. This Nirvana Heart will undoubtedly belong to you two."
The master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion chuckled at this, looking meaningfully at Cang Wu, and said with a smile.
Cang Wu couldn't help but roll his eyes. How could he not understand the hidden intentions of this young man? But was he the kind of person to take advantage of others' misfortune?
He remembered that he only performed the grand ceremony after marrying Kun Qing'er.
Besides, was he really afraid of someone coming to snatch it? He was afraid that this unfilial descendant would completely disgrace him.
Think of him, the Lord of Devourment, a glorious reputation throughout his life...
"You junior, truly have no sense. I intend to act as a matchmaker for you two, to bestow a great fortune upon you two lovers, to complete this pair of golden couple. You junior still refuse!"
The master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion snorted lightly, but he wasn't truly angry. After all, as someone who was already dead, being able to fulfill such a marriage before his death was quite satisfying!
Ling Qingzhu's face turned red upon hearing this. Then, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she looked at the master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion with a vigilant expression, saying in a deep voice.
"What does Senior mean?"
"Didn't you two come for the Nirvana Heart?"
The master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion didn't answer but instead asked Ling Qingzhu with a smile. Seeing this, Cang Wu hardened his heart and said softly.
"There's a problem with the Nirvana Heart. It requires Yin and Yang balance to refine it. Otherwise, due to the imbalance of Yin and Yang within the body, you won't be able to refine the Nirvana Heart and will ultimately explode under the impact of its violent energy."
"Yin and Yang balance? You scoundrel!"
Ling Qingzhu finally understood the sordid intentions of the master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion and immediately rebuked him angrily.
As she spoke, Ling Qingzhu raised her hand and waved, sending a stream of energy towards the master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion.
Cang Wu's expression changed drastically. He didn't want to fight the master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion. It wasn't that he couldn't win; he naturally had a way to deal with a remnant spirit left behind by a dead person.
However, if he went all out, his identity would surely be revealed to the master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion, and if Ling Qingzhu found out then, he would be utterly disgraced.
Alas! He could only say that he was young and foolish back then, and liked to mess around, creating some Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Method.
"Hey, you woman, you're quite chaste."
The master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion chuckled strangely, flicked his finger, and dissolved the stream of Primal Energy. Then, he glared and grunted, saying.
"You woman, don't slander the reputation of my Yin-Yang lineage. This is the great Dao of Yin-Yang cultivation personally created by the Lord of Devourment, a genuine righteous cultivation method."
"Bah! If the Lord of Devourment were truly as you say, he would also be a lecherous rogue."
Ling Qingzhu immediately spat lightly upon hearing this and cursed. Cang Wu couldn't help but clear his throat and explain.
"Junior Sister, your words are not entirely accurate. If it's consensual, what's wrong with it? It's not forced."
"Good boy, excellent, excellent. You truly are a disciple of the Grand Ancestor, you have great comprehension."
The master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion burst into laughter, praising him repeatedly. Then, he said with admiration.
"Back then, when the Grand Ancestor created such a cultivation method, it helped countless experts achieve greatness. It is said that the Grand Ancestor later seemed to have created the Extreme Yin Method, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have been passed down."
As he spoke to the end, the master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion couldn't help but reveal a hint of regret. Ling Qingzhu listened with confusion.
"Extreme Yin Method? What does that have to do with dual cultivation methods?"
"Cough, cough, it's a method for women to cooperate with each other. Special formations can draw upon different powers within different people, thereby maximizing their power."
Cang Wu explained softly upon seeing this, his expression also showing a hint of recollection.
In fact, these later formations were derived from dual cultivation methods, but they were no longer closely related to the former.
"For example, if the powers of darkness and ice, two extreme Yin attributes, are combined, their power will undoubtedly increase. Similarly, the combination of fire and lightning will also be more powerful."
These two were not cultivation methods but simply formations.
They were special methods created by Cang Wu a very long time ago. It could be said that these special formations played a significant role when the Eight Ancient Lords were still weak.
As far as Cang Wu knew, at least more than ten Demon Generals and several Fake Demon Kings had died in these special formations.
It is worth mentioning that the formations within the later King Extermination Celestial Disk were completely refined by Cang Wu.
Ling Qingzhu, not knowing what she had thought of, her face instantly turned completely red. Even through her veil, it was clearly visible, and the roots of her ears were a deep crimson.
Imagining the scene of two women cultivating together, Ling Qingzhu was momentarily speechless.
"This, this... it's simply preposterous!"
"You junior, know quite a lot, indeed. You truly are the new inheritor chosen by the Devouring Ancestral Talisman!"
The owner of the Ancient Tomb Mansion said with a chuckle, a hint of approval in his eyes.
As a cultivator of the Yin Yang path, the owner of the Ancient Tomb Mansion deeply respected the legendary Grand Ancestor. In fact, the disposition of their lineage was somewhat similar to the Grand Ancestor's.
The owner of the Ancient Tomb Mansion raised a hand and pointed, drawing the Nirvana Heart to Cang Wu's front, and spoke softly.
"Since you were able to gain the Devouring Ancestral Talisman's approval, if I don't give you this Nirvana Heart, I fear I would have no face to see the Grand Ancestor in the afterlife."
Cang Wu's lips twitched. He knew the man meant well, but cursing himself to die like that seemed a bit like betraying his ancestors, didn't it?
