A Tree Buried in the Earth

"Not good!"

In an instant, Tengyun True Lord felt a terrifying murderous intent intent approaching.

He abruptly retreated, hastily summoning a pale golden ruler to counterattack. This golden ruler, named the Supreme Unity Heaven-Splitting Ruler, was Spirit Treasure forged from Tier 5 Supreme Unity Essence Gold, possessing an indestructible power.

However, when faced with the incoming Sword-Ray, the Supreme Unity Heaven-Splitting Ruler was instantly knocked away, and its light dimmed instantly.

"Mid-Rank Demon-Refining Immortal Sword"

Tengyun True Lord's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the newcomer's combat strength was at least that of Nascent Soul Middle Stage expert, and he hurriedly used his Divine Ability to try to escape.

But at that moment, someone else made a move. A stunningly beautiful woman in a white dress raised her hand and unleashed a dazzling display of Duality Divine Light, which made it difficult for him to break free for a moment.

Furthermore, a colossal, illusory mirror blotted out the sky, its power suppressing everything and completely sealing off the entire world.

"Two Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators."

In an instant, Tengyun True Lord revealed a sense of despair.

One Nascent Soul Middle Stage was enough to deal with two or three of them, let alone two at least Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Terrified, he immediately begged for mercy.

"Spare me—"

Unfortunately, Chen Nianzhi didn't give him a chance to say anything. The Hundred Spirits Slaying Immortal Sword transformed into an Immortal-Slaying Sword-Ray and fell, cleaving him in two with a single strike.

Before his death, Tengyun True Lord tried to unleash his Nascent Soul Qi to escape, but he was instantly captured by the Hundred Spirits Slaying Immortal Sword. Even his Nascent Soul was destroyed, and his soul was devoured by the sword's spirit.

At this critical moment, Ya Ya finally managed to stop the detonation of the Earth Vein.

"Uncle Nianzhi..."

She looked at Chen Nianzhi, her eyes as clear as autumn water, with a touch of allure.

"Calm your mind and focus your thoughts!"

After killing Tengyun True Lord with a single sword strike, Chen Nianzhi stepped in front of Ya Ya and quickly used his magic Law Power to suppress the fire within her body.

However, although he suppressed the Qi of the Six Desires and Mortal Dust with his powerful Law Power, he felt that the flames of passion were growing stronger under the suppression of his Law Power, and they even wanted to burn his Law Power and sweep over him along with his Law Power.

"This Qi of the Six Desires and Mortal Dust are the desires of depravity, the signature move of the Desire Demon. Its power originates from the cultivator's own desires, making it difficult to resist and suppress."

Even powerful cultivators with profound Primordial Spirit levels often find themselves unable to avoid this attack from the Desire Demon.

"The only way to resolve this is to follow human ethics and release it through dual cultivation. Suppressing it with Law Power is merely drinking poison to quench thirst."

Jiang Linglong strode over, then said with a solemn expression.

Chen Nianzhi frowned, then forcefully channeled her Law Power again, using her incredibly pure Law Power to suppress Ya Ya's desire.

Seeing this, Jiang Linglong glanced at Ya Ya, took a deep breath, and then took out a Tier 4 Clear-Heart Pill and fed it to her.

This Clear-Heart Pill can slightly suppress the desires within her body, but it is still far from enough to deal with the Qi of the Six Desires and Mortal Dust. However, using both methods together, Ya Ya was able to temporarily suppress her desires.

Ya Ya's face flushed slightly, and her chest trembled violently before she stood up and said, "Thank you so much, Uncle Nianzhi. If it weren't for your rescue, I'm afraid I would never have seen you again."

"Some time ago, I used the Great Evolution Heavenly Art to calculate and sensed that you were about to face a calamity, so I rushed here immediately."

Chen Nianzhi spoke calmly, but her eyes were somewhat grave as she said, "Thankfully, we didn't miss the opportunity to rescue them, despite our hurried efforts."

"The Qi of the Six Desires and Mortal Dust cannot be suppressed for long; we must find a way to resolve them, otherwise they will burn away her vital essence and cause irreversible damage."

As Jiang Linglong spoke, her gaze fell upon Chen Nianzhi.

She knew very well that the best solution now was to have Chen Nianzhi and Ya Ya cultivate together, which would relieve Ya Ya's desire.

Moreover, Ya Ya Ya's expression, if I weren't there, she would probably be clinging to Chen Nianzhi, overjoyed with happiness.

However, as Chen Nianzhi's dao companion, she was very unwilling. Although most high-level male cultivators in this world have multiple dao companion, her pride made it difficult for her to accept.

In fact, which of the stunningly beautiful high-level female cultivators is not proud and arrogant? Most of them find it difficult to accept their dao companion taking concubines, unless the opponent's strength far surpasses their own, in which case they will submit to someone else.

Upon realizing this, Jiang Linglong felt a sense of resentment. She waved her sleeve and took several of Tengyun True Lord's relics, then said, "Perhaps there is a way to undo this among Tengyun True Lord's treasures."

"Then let's give it a try."

Chen Nianzhi took the Storage Bag from Tengyun True Lord and forcibly activated her Law Power to open Storage Bag.

The way to forcibly open the Storage Bag Storage Bag is to destroy it, but this could cause the treasures Storage Bag to fall into the void and be lost.

However, Chen Nianzhi possessed the Yin-Yang Void Realm, which was enough to stabilize the void and retrieve the treasures within.

The two joined forces, even at the cost of damaging a high-level Storage Bag, and instantly tore open the void within Storage Bag.

In an instant, countless spiritual objects flew out from within, many of which nearly fell into the void rift, but fortunately, the Yin-Yang Void Realm captured them all.

Chen Nianzhi scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that there were a great many miscellaneous items inside, many of which were special spiritual objects used to train female cultivators.

"How did this guy cultivate to the level of True Lord?"

Jiang Linglong blushed slightly as she burned all the training materials before continuing her search for an antidote.

However, these Qi of the Six Desires and Mortal Dust are almost insurmountable. Even the Desire Demon can only be eliminated through dual cultivation. What means does Tengyun True Lord have to eradicate them?

"Well..."

Jiang Linglong sighed inwardly and couldn't help but glance at Ya Ya. She noticed that Ya Ya was looking at Chen Nianzhi with longing, her face becoming increasingly flushed and alluring, clearly indicating that the desire within her was becoming more and more irresistible.

"Unable to suppress it, the only option now is..."

With a slight compromise in her heart, Jiang Linglong, taking advantage of Ya Ya's still-conscious state, could only ask, "Are you willing?"

"I..."

Ya Ya blushed and stole a glance at Chen Nianzhi, her bright eyes vaguely seeing a glimpse of the past.

The first thought that came to her when she saw him in the city that year was, "How wonderful it would be to be with such a Immortal man forever."

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The moment she saw Jiang Linglong, she knew she could only bury her love deep inside.

Even if this love has grown into a towering tree, it can only ever grow in the soil. Even if it humbly sprouts a single green leaf, it would be nothing but a desecration.

Only she herself knew that what was truly preventing her from breaking through to the Nascent Soul was perhaps not the destructive Lightning Tribulation, nor the extremely harsh conditions, but rather the man who haunted her dreams day and night.

If her inner demon were to manifest as him, she would rather be trapped in it forever than wake up.

"I do!"

At this moment, driven by desire, Ya Ya finally mustered the courage to let the towering tree buried deep in her heart burst forth from the earth, drawing the uncontrollable sunlight to grow.
