Ye Fengling paced anxiously back and forth in the clearing of the Bewilderment Forest. She said, "Little sister, do you think that Li Qiang will retaliate against us... Damn it, how did we get involved with him? I should have known better than to chase after him..." She seemed to be asking Yun Yu, but also talking to herself.
Yun Yu leaned wearily against the roots of a large tree, waved her hand, and teased in a coquettish voice, "Sister, I still don't understand why you keep chasing after him... Hehe, sister, have you taken a liking to him? Want to cultivate together? Wow, sister, are you falling for him... No, sister... Don't tickle me! It tickles... Haha!"
Ye Fengling put one arm around Yun Yu's shoulder and tickled her with the other, laughing and scolding, "How dare you mock your older sister! See how I deal with you, you little rascal!"
Yun Yu suddenly said, "Don't move! Something's wrong!"
Ye Fengling laughed, "Don't try to distract your sister, I..."
The ground suddenly shook, followed by another. Ye Fengling released her grip and asked in surprise, "What happened?"
A loud, muffled thud came from underground, and the entire Bewilderment Forest trembled.
Yun Yu looked surprised. "Sister, it sounded like it was coming from underground, but then... the sound stopped."
Ye Fengling was surprised and uncertain, and said, "We should still be careful..." Both of them felt a little uneasy.
A long time passed without any movement. Yun Yu said, "It seems like everything's alright, how strange..." Just as she finished speaking, a young man suddenly appeared in front of her.
This man had a peculiar appearance, with an ancient and simple face. His two white eyebrows stood out starkly against his face. He was shirtless, with a soft towel casually wrapped around his waist, and his expression was extremely strange.
Ye Fengling pulled Yun Yu behind her, simultaneously unleashing a flying sword for self-defense, and shouted, "Who are you?"
The man looked at the two sisters and said, "Hmm, not bad, this is just right." He was referring to Yun Yu.
A wave of fear washed over Ye Fengling. She cried out, "Little sister, draw your sword! Danger!"
Yun Yu hurriedly shot out her flying sword to protect herself. The man shook his head. "It's no use. You two don't need to resist. I'm short two maids right now, so you two will do."
Five beams of white light suddenly shot out from his hand, tightly binding the two men. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed their flying swords.
Ye Fengling was terrified and shouted, "We are disciples of the Wise Heng Palace, what do you want?"
The man said coldly, "Even if you were the daughter of the Heavenly King himself, it wouldn't matter."
Yun Yu whispered, "Sister, my Nascent Soul has been sealed..."
Ye Fengling was horrified to discover that her Nascent Soul had also been sealed.
The man lifted the two sisters into the air and said, "Don't resist. I just need your help. I mean you no harm. You'll be restored after this is over." With a soft shout, he commanded, "Go!" The three of them vanished into thin air.
That person was Mo Huaiyuan had just achieved the status of Loose Immortal.
Because Li Qiang bravely resisted the Heavenly Baleful Intent, Mo Huaiyuan was almost unaffected and successfully advanced to the Loose Immortal. He didn't even need to reshape his body; he retained his original appearance. Only after he had successfully condensed his body did he discover that Li Qiang had collapsed against the wall, and the entire All Is Empty Palace had been shattered into dust, leaving only an empty hall and a mess on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Mo Huaiyuan immediately realized that Li Qiang had shielded him from the Heavenly Baleful Intent. He became extremely anxious, picked up Li Qiang, and teleported to the Purity Palace.
Li Qiang was severely injured, his body covered in blood. Mo Huaiyuan composed himself and carefully examined him with his Divine Sense. He saw that Li Qiang's body was in complete disarray, and the Supreme Radiance Shuttle was trembling incessantly as if it were about to burst out of his body. Mo Huaiyuan reached out and gently twisted his fingers, pulling out the Supreme Radiance Shuttle.
He was utterly astonished, never expecting Li Qiang to have so many things inside him. He rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "How can there still be Fire Essence inside... Ah... Oh, it's like this. Let's suppress it first."
Li Qiang was on the verge of Qi Deviation, but fortunately Mo Huaiyuan forcibly imprisoned his Nascent Soul, so he was not in immediate danger. However, he was like a burning fire, his whole body as red as a cooked shrimp, curled up on the cloud bed in the Purity Palace.
Mo Huaiyuan took out a ball of blue, silk-like magic Law Treasure and threw it out. It transformed into transparent blue mist and enveloped Li Qiang. This was made from the silk of the pure Yin Dragon-Astringent Silkworm. Its nature was extremely Yin, and it was called Heavenly Yin Silk. It could temporarily control Li Qiang's continuously rising body temperature.
Mo Huaiyuan was both anxious and pained. Li Qiang's pure fire-type yang body posed a problem for him. Although he could cure him, he was afraid that Li Qiang's Nascent Soul Realm after he woke up.
Mo Huaiyuan was unwilling for his brother to suffer a great loss of power because of him. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly thought of a solution.
When Li Qiang entered the Bewilderment Forest, he noticed that two girls had also entered. Mo Huaiyuan thought to himself: If only one of them had a pure Yin constitution. He really couldn't think of any other way. Even if these two girls were daughters of gods, he would capture them and use them first. As long as he could save Li Qiang, he would not hesitate.
Mo Huaiyuan to discover that Yun Yu possessed a pure Yin constitution. He immediately took the two women and teleported to the Purity Palace.
Ye Fengling was terrified by Mo Huaiyuan. This young man with two white eyebrows was incredibly powerful. She regretted her curiosity.
Mo Huaiyuan said, "Little girl, I need to discuss something with you. My brother needs treatment with a pure Yin body, so please help me." Although he said it was a discussion, his tone left no room for argument.
Ye Fengling screamed, "What do you want to do? What pure Yin body... You... You're not allowed to touch my sister!"
Mo Huaiyuan coldly snorted, "Little girl, I'm discussing this with you. If you delay my brother's injury, I won't boast, but your so-called Wise Heng Palace can forget about existing. I'll wipe it out completely."
Ye Fengling shuddered, her voice trembling as she asked, "Who... who exactly are you?"
Mo Huaiyuan said, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that with my strength as Loose Immortal, you'd better behave and obey me."
Yun Yu suddenly said, "Sister! The one on Yun's bed is Li Qiang."
Mo Huaiyuan froze, inwardly groaning, "Oh no, if they're my brother's friends, this will be troublesome." He knew Li Qiang wouldn't let his friends take risks for him, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Ye Fengling suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Fine! I'll save him. What do you suggest?"
Mo Huaiyuan shook his head and said, "Yours won't work; your constitution is mixed and impure. Hers will; she has a pure Yin constitution."
Yun Yu timidly hid behind Ye Fengling and whispered, "It's none of my business!"
Mo Huaiyuan said, "If you are my brother's friends, please help him. I swear, I will help you with anything you ask for in the future." He was truly desperate.
Ye Fengling and Yun Yu looked at each other, and after a long while, Yun Yu asked softly, "How can we save them?"
Mo Huaiyuan grabbed Yun Yu's hand, his white eyebrows dancing with delight, his eyes shining brightly. "Ah... you agreed, haha, don't worry! It's easy. Just use your Nascent Soul to sort out his chaotic Microcosm, and with me protecting him, everything will be fine soon, haha."
He was overjoyed, knowing that the effects of voluntary treatment and passive treatment are worlds apart.
Ye Fengling said helplessly, "Little sister, you need to be careful. It's all my fault."
Fortunately, neither of the girls disliked Li Qiang, and under Mo Huaiyuan's threats and inducements, they had no other choice.
Yun Yu was originally a kind and easy-going girl who was not averse to helping others. However, at the beginning, Mo Huaiyuan kept saying that he wanted a pure Yin body, and they didn't understand what was going on, so they became afraid.
After hearing Mo Huaiyuan's explanation, Yun Yu relaxed and said, "Senior, I don't quite understand. Please direct the rescue."
Mo Huaiyuan casually took out a flying sword and handed it to Ye Fengling, saying, "Go to the side and cultivate this Wise Heart Sword yourself. If my brother can recover, I will give you sisters even more Law Treasure."
Ye Fengling said angrily, "We're not after your Law Treasure!"
Mo Huaiyuan laughed and said, "Of course, the reason I asked you to go aside and cultivate was to keep you from getting bored while you wait, and to give you something to do."
Ye Fengling was nearly furious upon hearing this, but realizing there was nothing she could do, she had no choice but to accept the Wise Heart Sword. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she exclaimed, "This is the flying sword of our Wise Heng Palace... it's... it's the flying sword of our ancestor True Person Guanghui! Where... where did you get it?"
"Oh, you are Guanghui's disciples and grand-disciples? Haha, good! Let me tell you, when Guanghui was undergoing her tribulation, I protected her. After she passed the tribulation, she gave me many Law Treasure, including the Wise Heart Sword."
Yun Yu was a bookworm, intimately familiar with the sect's scriptures. She exclaimed in surprise, "It's recorded in the Jade Pupil Slip left by our ancestors... Heavens! You are...!"
Mo Huaiyuan waved his hand and said, "Just know it, don't tell anyone!"
Yun Yu respectfully replied, "Yes!"
Ye Fengling became anxious. "Little sister, who is he?" She was an impatient person and rarely had the patience to learn about things outside of cultivation. She only cared about the Jade Pupil Slip related to cultivation.
Yun Yu dared not speak, and Ye Fengling stamped her feet anxiously.
Yun Yu glanced at Mo Huaiyuan and whispered, "Think about the photos we took in our Immortal Hall..."
Ye Fengling hesitated for a moment, then was greatly alarmed. She hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, trembling, saying, " Ling'er greets Senior. Please forgive Ling'er's rudeness."
Mo Huaiyuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, I had no choice. Who knew Hui'er would start a sect and create something like Wise Heng Palace? As long as my brother is alright, everything is fine."
At this point, the two had no choice but to follow Mo Huaiyuan's arrangements.
Ye Fengling held the Wise Heart Sword in her hand. It was a blue flying sword, shaped like a flat, elongated leaf. This sword was mentioned in most of the records of the Wise Heng Palace. It was a symbol of the Wise Heng Palace. However, since the founding of the sect, no one had ever seen this flying sword. She knew that if she took this flying sword back, the entire Wise Heng Palace would probably be in an uproar.
Ye Fengling dared not say more, and slowly retreated to the foot of the wall with her flying sword in hand.
Mo Huaiyuan flicked his finger, sending a beam of white light into her body. Ye Fengling felt a jolt; her sealed Nascent Soul was released. Mo Huaiyuan then tossed her a Jade Pupil Slip: "Cultivating according to the methods in this Jade Pupil Slip will make your efforts twice as effective. Remember, cultivation must be completed in one go, without any pauses, understand?"
Ye Fengling was both surprised and delighted, and quickly bowed, saying, "Disciple obeys!"
Yun Yu asked cautiously, "Senior, what should Yu'er do?"
Mo Huaiyuan first released her Nascent Soul, then raised his hand and cast a protective Law Treasure, enveloping her and Li Qiang in the middle. At the same time, he withdrew the Heavenly Yin Silk, and then transmitted his voice, "Little girl, have him sit cross-legged first."
Yun Yu reached out to help Li Qiang up, helping him sit cross-legged, and said, "Alright, senior."
Mo Huaiyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sit behind him, put your arms around his back, and sit cross-legged as well."
Yun Yu blushed instantly, and stammered, "This..."
Mo Huaiyuan urged without allowing any room for argument, "Hurry up! Hurry up!"
Yun Yu almost burst into tears. This was truly outrageous; they actually made her hug a man. But the die was cast, and she had no choice but to proceed. At this point, she had no control over her own destiny.
Her arms trembled as she hugged Li Qiang's back, feeling wronged. A surge of intense yang energy immediately washed over her, making her heart skip a beat. She felt both angry and ashamed, and with her eyes closed, she murmured, "Okay... okay..."
Mo Huaiyuan sat cross-legged to one side, eyes closed, white eyebrows slightly raised, and said, "Very good, listen to me, you do it... First step, immerse your mind in your Nascent Soul..."
Yun Yu focused her mind on Nascent Soul nascent soul.
Mo Huaiyuan formed a magic seal with both hands and shouted, "Go!" Thin streaks of white light shot out from his fingers, tightly binding the two together. He opened his mouth and exhaled the immortal energy unique to Loose Immortal, which invaded Yun Yu's body.
Mo Huaiyuan was taking a huge risk with this action. He had just become Loose Immortal, and his immortal spiritual energy was not yet refined. However, in order to save Li Qiang, he couldn't care less about that.
Yun Yu's Nascent Soul cautiously opened its eyes. The Nascent Soul was wearing a light pink Heart Armor and was petite and adorable.
Mo Huaiyuan's voice suddenly rang in the Nascent Soul's ear. "Remember, after you get there, immediately use your pure Yin energy to tidy up his chaotic Microcosm."
Yun Yu was baffled, thinking, "Where can I find a way to organize his Microcosm?" A thin golden light tightly enveloped Yun Yu's Nascent Soul and forcibly sent it into Li Qiang's body.
Yun Yu even forgot her shyness. A dazzling yet chaotic Microcosm appeared before her Nascent Soul, and she realized that she had arrived at Li Qiang's Purple Mansion.
Mo Huaiyuan's voice rang in her ears again. "Little girl, take over your master's role in stimulating his Microcosm."
Li Qiang's Purple Mansion was like a volcanic eruption; Yun Yu was completely at a loss, as she had never tried this method of saving someone before. (And the books...)
Mo Huaiyuan knew that if Yun Yu acted properly, Li Qiang could not only recover his original cultivation level, but might even surpass it. He carefully guided Yun Yu step by step, cautiously navigating the most dangerous juncture before finally releasing the restraints on Li Qiang's Nascent Soul.
Li Qiang's Divine Sense was forcibly suppressed into his Nascent Soul by Mo Huaiyuan. Therefore, as soon as the Nascent Soul was released from its confinement, he woke up, but it was his Nascent Soul that woke up.
Li Qiang opened the eyes of his Nascent Soul and was surprised to find another Nascent Soul beside him. It was a very beautiful little Nascent Soul wearing light pink Heart Armor, and it was a woman who looked very familiar.
Li Qiang was so surprised that the Nascent Soul inside his body couldn't speak, so he couldn't help but touch the little Nascent Soul's head.
Yun Yu suddenly realized that Li Qiang could move and was even touching her head. She was so angry that she raised her hand and swept him away, her big eyes wide open, looking very angry.
How interesting! Li Qiang never expected to have a Nascent Soul little sister by his side. Since she was inside his body, Li Qiang was a bit unrestrained, thinking, "Hmph! You dare hit me!" He grabbed her and, in an instant, both of them felt an incomparably wonderful sensation.
Just kidding, the embrace of Nascent Soul is a direct contact and collision of souls. Yun Yu was immediately stunned. Not to mention pushing him away, she didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
Li Qiang had never experienced such a wonderful feeling before. It was as if a string in his heart had been plucked. Waves of ecstasy, excitement, and overwhelming beauty and joy washed over him. He was stunned, captivated, and unwilling to let go. He just wanted to hold on like this forever.
Just then, the two of them simultaneously heard a low shout, "Circulate your internal energy!"
The two unconsciously began to activate their Microcosm. This action was extraordinary. Li Qiang was a pure fire elemental body, while Yun Yu was a pure yin elemental body. Originally, water and fire were incompatible. However, Yun Yu's Nascent Soul body was covered with something, which was the immortal spiritual energy spewed out by Mo Huaiyuan. With this as a buffer, the two instantly merged into one, making it difficult to distinguish between them.
Li Qiang was practically jumping for joy. Not only were his injured body and internal energy rapidly recovering, but he also had a beautiful little Nascent Soul that appeared out of nowhere. He had never felt so relaxed and happy.
Holding Yun Yu tightly, he refused to let go, repeatedly channeling his inner energy. Not only did his own power increase significantly, but Yun Yu's cultivation also improved as a result.
Yun Yu also lowered her head shyly to circulate her internal energy. She had not expected that the contact between Nascent Soul would be so wonderful and unique.
Mo Huaiyuan finally relaxed and thought happily, "Brother's luck is really good. If it weren't for this pure Yin body girl, things would have been difficult. Hehe, now I can't live without her either. Anyway, there are plenty of people in the Cultivation Realm who practice dual cultivation, so it doesn't matter if there are another pair."
Knowing that the two were safe for the time being, Mo Huaiyuan quietly teleported to the All Is Empty Palace, found the Golden Lotus Jade Throne, the Star-Absorbing Sword, and the broken Xuan Radiant Sun Ring, and also collected the shattered Billowing Essence Battle Armor.
After Ye Fengling finished practicing the Wise Heart Sword, she stood up and found that Mo Huaiyuan was no longer there. Only the two people were embracing on the cloud bed. Her little sister was softly nestled in Li Qiang's arms, while that damned Li Qiang sat upright on the cloud bed, his whole body shining with a purple-gold light, as if he had recovered his strength.
Ye Fengling blushed slightly; she didn't know what to do.
Ye Fengling stared blankly at the two of them, a mix of emotions welling up inside her. She didn't know why, but she felt a surge of anger mixed in with her feelings, and she felt extremely guilty, as if she had harmed her younger sister.
She just stared blankly at it, not knowing how much time had passed.
Mo Huaiyuan suddenly appeared beside her and asked, "Girl, is the sword finished?"
Ye Fengling was startled and lowered her head, saying, "Yes, senior, I've finished cultivating."
Mo Huaiyuan glanced at the two people on the cloud bed and said something Ye Fengling couldn't understand, "Too much of a good thing..." He shot out a beam of white light, forcefully dragging Yun Yu's Nascent Soul back into her own body, while simultaneously exhaling immortal energy to help Li Qiang circulate his power.
Li Qiang suddenly realized that the beautiful little Nascent Soul had been forcibly snatched from his arms by a strange force. He was immediately alarmed and tried to regain his original consciousness, but he couldn't go back. Just then, he heard someone say in his ear, "Quickly circulate your energy! Don't think nonsense. I am Mo Huaiyuan, don't worry!"
Li Qiang immediately felt relieved and continued to work hard, repeating the exercises over and over again.
Yun Yu woke up, the experience like a beautiful dream, etched deep in her heart. She opened her eyes and found herself lying in Li Qiang's arms, one arm tightly wrapped around his neck. Yun Yu was extremely shy, her face burning. She glanced around furtively, praying that no one would notice, but then she saw Mo Huaiyuan looking at her with a half-smile, followed by her older sister's strange expression. She was so embarrassed her heart felt like it would jump out of her chest.
Jumping off the cloud bed, Yun Yu threw herself into Ye Fengling's arms and said aggrievedly, "Sister, I... I don't know how this happened... Let's go!" She even started to cry.
Ye Fengling hugged Yun Yu and said with heartache, "Little sister, be good! It's all my fault, let's go back now."
Yun Yu nestled in Ye Fengling's arms, sobbing, but a faint smile played on her lips.
Mo Huaiyuan said, "I owe you two girls a favor. In the future, no matter what it is, I will never refuse to help if I can. Well, these things are for you two. These are the magical Law Treasure left behind by Guanghui. Consider it returning them to their rightful owner. There are also some other Law Treasure. You can take them back and divide them among yourselves."
Ye Fengling bowed and said, "Senior, please come to the Wise Heng Palace to give me your guidance when you have time. Thank you in Ling'er."
Yun Yu didn't want to leave, but she had said she was leaving while she was being coquettish, and it was difficult to change her mind now. Ye Fengling was extremely arbitrary, and she felt that her younger sister had suffered because of her own curiosity, so she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Seeing that Li Qiang was out of danger, Mo Huaiyuan stopped stopping the sisters, gave them a large number of Law Treasure as a reward, and then sent the two sisters out of the palace.
It took Li Qiang more than a month to wake up after this meditation session. When he opened his eyes, he shook his head like a rattle drum, searching around. He acted as if he didn't see Mo Huaiyuan, who was right in front of him. The first question he asked stunned Mo Huaiyuan.
"Who is that Nascent Soul cultivator girl? Where is she?"
Mo Huaiyuan smiled wryly, "Sigh, brother, why didn't you ask about my cultivation, or how your injuries are? You've been in seclusion for over a month, and the first thing you do when you wake up is look for little sisters... Isn't that a bit too much?"
Li Qiang glanced at him and said, "Brother, do you even need to ask? If you hadn't become a Loose Immortal, I would have been finished long ago. Tell me... who is she?"
Mo Huaiyuan laughed and said, "Have you taken a liking to that girl?"
Li Qiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "It was a very strange feeling, a very wonderful one. Who is she? Tell me quickly!"
Mo Huaiyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Haha, what strange feeling? Little brother, have you fallen in love with her?"
Ignoring what Mo Huaiyuan was saying, Li Qiang kept pressing, "Who is she? Who is she?"
Seeing Li Qiang staring at him expectantly, Mo Huaiyuan thought to himself, "Oh no, if my brother turns into a lovesick fool, that'll be troublesome... Sigh? How can this Cultivation Method be so powerful? The side effects are quite significant."
He was so flustered by Li Qiang's urging that he had no choice but to say, "They are disciples of the Wise Heng Palace..."
Li Qiang was shocked. "Did you Bewilderment Forest?"
Mo Huaiyuan nodded and said, "They are the female cultivators closest to the Star Palace."
Yun Yu's Nascent Soul was very small, making it difficult to see her face clearly within the Purple Mansion. However, upon hearing that she was one of the two sisters, Li Qiang immediately knew who she was. "So it's Yu'er!"
Mo Huaiyuan nodded and said, "She saved you. If it weren't for her pure Yin constitution, you would probably have already Qi Deviation."
"I know, that's why I need to find her!"
Mo Huaiyuan shrugged and said, "She left a long time ago. Brother, you wouldn't... really have your eye on her, would you?" He continued to tease Li Qiang.
"Brother, you don't understand because you haven't experienced it... Hehe, I still want to thank you, brother, for letting me experience such a wonderful state of mind; it's truly unforgettable."
Mo Huaiyuan realized Li Qiang was serious, so he laughed and said, "Well, brother, then go ahead and pursue him with confidence. I think with your abilities, there shouldn't be any problem. If you need me to step in, just let me know."
Li Qiang said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Forget it, can I really help with something like this? I'll just do it myself."
Mo Huaiyuan laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, yes! Helping in these kinds of situations often makes things worse, haha, brother, you're quite clear-headed." He was genuinely happy and added, "Your Golden Lotus Jade Throne and Star-Absorbing Sword are both intact, and I've re-cultivated the Billowing Essence Battle Armor and the Radiant Sun Ring for you. Brother, you mustn't risk your life like this again, understand? You were in too much danger this time. I had prepared magical Law Treasure to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation long ago, but I didn't have to use a single one. If it weren't for the special functions of the Supreme Radiance Shuttle and the Billowing Essence Battle Armor, brother, even with all my abilities, I couldn't have saved you."
Li Qiang laughed, "I didn't risk my life. Who knew Heavenly Tribulation Nascent Soul cultivation of a Nascent Loose Immortal into a Loose Immortal seemed easy, but the reality he witnessed was completely different. It was probably even more difficult than a cultivator undergoing tribulation. No wonder there were so few Loose Immortal; this hurdle was truly difficult to overcome.
Mo Huaiyuan understood Li Qiang's meaning; he was deliberately saying that to make him feel uneasy. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Where can you find a friend like this? Heaven has been kind to me; I can finally escape this predicament."
Mo Huaiyuan said, "Brother, let's break that Cosmic Azure Field Grand Formation together, and then we'll leave this place."
