Chapter 286: Mother? Teacher? (1/2)

“Senior Brother, are you alright?” The moment Cheng Yu returned into the Mountain River Diagram, Tian Xing and Tian Xue went to welcome him.

“I’m fine,” Cheng Yu shook his head. With a portion of his Qi being sucked away, it caused him to turn weak.

“Senior Brother, what happened just now? Why did you suddenly stop moving?” Tian Xing recalled the scene that caused him to be extremely shocked. If something were to happen to Cheng Yu, what should they do?

“That person’s killing intent was very strong and it invaded my consciousness, causing me to lose my mind,” Cheng Yu was still frightened by that incident. If he were to have woken up a little later, that person would have gotten what he wanted.

“Fortunately, you woke me in time. Otherwise, we would be in trouble. I was truly frightened just now as so many bats were sticking onto you and even the yin spirit had appeared. Luckily, that fire on you appeared promptly, shunning away the crisis,” Tian Xing rejoiced.

“Hehe! This time was because I got careless. However, you two had woken me in time, disrupting the hypnosis on me,” Cheng Yu laughed.

“See if you still dare to be so cocky next time. In this world, you are not the only one who possesses such an abnormal strength. Others can also do it too,” Just now, Tian Xue was also frightened. When she saw Cheng Yu taking his carelessness so lightly, she felt that she should remind him to prevent him from thinking that he was truly unrivalled.

“Then I should congratulate you. You can finally act so smug in front of me,” Cheng Yu laughed.

“It’s good that you know,” Tian Xue lifted her head high with complacency.

“Senior Brother, that person’s killing intent was really so powerful?” Tian Xing inquired curiously.

“That’s right. Killing intent itself is a kind of potent poisonous Qi. It is able to cause one to become poisoned, hypnotized or loses one’s wisdom. Furthermore, it can also be refined into strengthening one’s cultivation. How is it not powerful?” Cheng Yu explained. A moment ago, Cheng Yu’s mind had been invaded by killing intent, causing illusions to appear within his consciousness and making him lose his wisdom and control of his body.

“Since killing intent is so powerful, why don’t we, the righteous sect, use it to cultivate?” Although they had heard of killing intent before, they did not have much understanding of it. Righteous sects had always judged those who cultivate killing intent to be performing an act of demonism.

“Killing intent is known to be sinister. Only those malicious cultivation techniques would be able to refine killing intent. If it was not passed down specially, it is very easy to cause the killing intent to devour its master. Furthermore, even if there’s such a heritage, whenever they cultivate, it is very easy for them to go into Qi deviation. Furthermore, those who cultivate killing intent are usually a group of bloodthirsty people. Therefore, the righteous sect always judge those who cultivate killing intent to be performing an act of demonism,” Cheng Yu explained.

“So it’s like that. No wonder that person’s methods were so malicious. Every move of his was so terrifying,” Recalling those Qi absorption bats and the formidable yin spirit as well as the vicious killing intent, every move of his truly aimed to kill. No wonder those who were killed by him were all turned into bones.

“Alright. I need to rest for awhile. Help me take a look outside. If there’s any abnormality, wake me up!” Cheng Yu commanded before walking back to his camp.

Within a cavern hole, a black gowned man sat inside. He vomited a mouthful of blood as his complexion turned even paler.

“Unexpectedly, there was such a formidable flame that was able to be able to injure my yin spirit!” The black gowned man recalled to how his yin spirit was injured. It displayed a sense of fear towards that flame, transmitting it to his brain, which caused the black gowned man to feel a sense of dread. As he and his yin spirit were fused together, whatever each of them felt, the other party would also be able to feel it. Otherwise, the black gowned man also wouldn’t have escaped.

“Furthermore, this person isn’t simple. Not only was his strength overwhelming, his skills were also extremely formidable. Even that last move of his was enough to kill me. Fortunately, I made a narrow escape. Otherwise, I would have exploded into smithereens,” The black gowned man spoke weakly.

“What a pity. If I had made my move earlier, I would have definitely succeeded. His Golden Core is certainly top-grade. Besides, he also had two soul artifacts. Truly a pity,” Recalling to that fight, all the black gowned man felt was regret. If only he made his move earlier, whatever that person owned would have been his.

“However, I need a period of time to digest these five Golden Cores. I’m pretty sure my strength will definitely rise once again. When the time comes, I will look for him again!” The black gowned man muttered to himself. Yin spirits belong to a devouring-type object. During the preceding period, it would promote very quickly, but when it reached Golden Core Realm and above, it became a lot harder.

He might even need to devour nascent souls to upgrade the yin spirit. This was also the loophole of the devouring skill. Otherwise, if it continued to rise so unobstructedly, the world would have long fallen into chaos.
