Betting the Person as Well

Zhang Yang remained in meditation until midnight before that feeling of extreme exhaustion finally disappeared.

He gazed at the gray sky, lost in thought about the battle he had fought with Leng Qingfeng during the day, trying to comprehend Leng Qingfeng's Ice-and-Snow Power.

"Eldest Senior Brother, are you alright?" Situ Mingyue asked with concern.

"It's alright!" Zhang Yang shook his head.

Situ Mingyue sat opposite Zhang Yang and asked in a low voice, "Eldest Senior Brother, are you also Profound Yin Dao Seed?"

This is something she cares about very much.

Zhang Yang shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I had some problems when I was in the Golden Core stage, but I could use other Cultivation Method. Now that I've reached the Nascent Soul, this situation has continued, but my Nascent Soul feels a bit abnormal."

Whose Nascent Soul is wearing such tattered clothes?

Situ Mingyue felt much relieved and finally understood why Zhang Yang could use the Profound Yin Art.

She glanced at the others subconsciously and found them all resting. She then used her Spiritual Sense to send a telepathic message to Zhang Yang, saying, "Since you can cultivate the Profound Yin Art, can't you also cultivate the Taiyin Immortal Art? I'll teach you the Taiyin Immortal Art, and you can try it out. Then you'll have no problem dealing with that kind of Ice-and-Snow Power again."

"Okay!" Zhang Yang readily agreed.

He didn't actually inherit the Taiyin Immortal Art, but learning more wouldn't be a problem for him.

Situ Mingyue was straightforward; she used her Spiritual Sense to transmit all the contents of the Taiyin Immortal Art to Zhang Yang verbatim. However, these were all retellings of the original Taiyin Immortal Art, not its profound mysteries.

Then, she stood silently by her side, protecting her.

Zhang Yang pondered the contents of the Taiyin Immortal Art and was very surprised. It was indeed an even more Yin and cold Cultivation Method than the Profound Yin Art.

He combined the contents of the Taiyin Immortal Art with his understanding of Leng Qingfeng's use of Ice-and-Snow Power, and gained a great deal from it.

Although both are extremely yin and cold forces, the essence of Ice-and-Snow Power and Taiyin Power is different.

After pondering the mysteries of the Taiyin Immortal Art for a while, Zhang Yang took out the book "Detailed Study of Heaven and Earth Essence" from the books he had obtained from the Immortal Hall and began to read it.

While reading this book, he discovered that he had gained a more thorough understanding of the workings of various primordial energies in the universe.

At the same time, he also gained a certain understanding of the Taiyin Immortal Art and the Ice-and-Snow Power that he had just obtained.

Zhang Yang silently read the book until dawn, but he had only read a few pages of "Detailed Study of Heaven and Earth Essence." The content was simply too profound and difficult to understand.

Daylight broke, and the time for battle had come again.

Just as Zhang Yang put away his books, he heard someone challenging him on the arena.

Stepping out of the Formation Space, one sees Zixu, dressed in a purple Daoist robe. Beside the arena, people from other major sects have already gathered.

Seeing Zhang Yang emerge, Zixu immediately said, "Today, let's do something different!"

Zhang Yang frowned and asked, "What's different?"

Zixu smiled and said, "I'm betting two shares of Fortune. If I win, you need to return Qingxu to my One-Guard Monastery. He has seriously violated the sect's rules, and we need to take him back to the sect to be punished."

Zhang Yang immediately became serious and said righteously, "Qingxu is my friend, and I cannot use my friend for a bet!"

I hope you can respect others and not treat them like commodities or tools to be used, or even used for gambling or fighting.

This is respect for others, and also respect for yourself.

Zixu's face flushed, and he coldly snorted, "Never mind all that, I'm just asking you, do you dare to accept?"

"It's not a matter of whether I dare or not..."

"You're just afraid to lose, you just don't dare!" Zixu looked at Zhang Yang with a mocking expression. "Besides the two marks, how about I bet myself? If you win, I'll go with you; if you lose, you'll hand Qingxu over to our One-Guard Monastery!"

Zhang Yang snorted coldly, "If you want to fight, then fight. Otherwise, continue fighting!"

"You just don't dare, you coward!" Zixu sneered.

She was all prepared, hoping to provoke Zhang Yang into agreeing to the bet.

Zhang Yang sneered; he would never agree to such a bet.

This wasn't about winning or losing, but about respecting Qingxu; he didn't want his relationship with Qingxu to change.

Instead, Qingxu, who had been observing from the sidelines, couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped out of the formation and said to Zhang Yang, "I believe you. I'll bet with Senior Sister Zixu! By the way, my senior sister is beautiful and intelligent; you can take her in. Also, she cultivates Talisman; if you just pay a little attention, winning her over won't be a problem at all."

After saying that, he turned to Zixu and said, "Senior Sister, Zhang Yang is actually quite good. He has high cultivation, strong strength, and a head full of brilliant ideas. You will definitely gain a lot by following him!"

After saying that, he retreated back into the Formation Space.

Zixu took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Yang fiercely, and said, "Now you can make your move, right?"

She was secretly plotting: Damn Qingxu, wait till I capture you and bring you back, then I'll see how I deal with you!

Zhang Yang smiled faintly, "I can agree to fight you, but I haven't agreed to any other conditions. If you're ready, let's begin."

"Snort!"

Zixu snorted coldly, waved his purple Daoist robe, drawing a trajectory in the air, and a talisman appeared, instantly causing a strong wind to blow across the entire arena.

Clearly, this is a wind-elemental rune.

"Heaven and earth possess a breath, which flows and moves—that is the wind!"

Zhang Yang instantly recalled a sentence recorded in "Detailed Study of Heaven and Earth Essence" that he had just read, a sentence that seemed to reveal the essence of wind.

As he gazed at the whirlwind formed by Zixu's runes, and recalling the sentence in the book, he seemed to see the flow of that wind's essence.

Then, when he looked back at the talisman in the Zixu's hand, he immediately understood its profound meaning.

It was Zixu who used a talisman to cause the flow of the energy of heaven and earth, thus creating a gust of wind!

At this moment, Zhang Yang couldn't help but think of the Rainbow Fish pot that Cang Song made when he was still in the sect. After eating that Rainbow Fish, his Divine Soul grew stronger and resonated with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

At that time, many Laws of Heaven and Earth were "telling" him their mysteries, but he couldn't understand them no matter what.

At that moment, he seemed to understand something.

As he gained enlightenment, the Nascent Soul within his Purple Mansion suddenly became flustered, and several "lines" appeared on its Nascent Soul.

Under the influence of a talisman in Zixu's mind, Zhang Yang entered a state of enlightenment.

Zixu looked at Zhang Yang with some confusion, wondering what Zhang Yang was daydreaming about!

Could it be that she trapped Zhang Yang with just a single talisman?

Without saying a word, she waved her hand again, and another rune Dao Fire appeared on the arena, turning the entire arena into a sea of fire.

The ground was a sea of fire, and a fierce wind was blowing from the sky. The wind fueled the fire, and the fire amplified the wind's power. At this moment, the scene on the arena became extremely terrifying.

Zixu stood amidst the sea of fire, untouched by any flames, which accentuated her purple Daoist robe and face, making her appear like a spirit within the flames.

She pointed at Zhang Yang, and all the flames seemed to receive a command, Zhang Yang towards him.
