Qin Sang quietly took out the spiritual talisman he had received from the young man. Holding true demonic energy, he tried to activate the talisman, but it remained as quiet as before. It seemed something was still wrong.
"Xiang Yi and Immortal Aunt Yue hold high positions in the Trade Alliance. Xiang Yi is even a close confidant of the Alliance Master. Could the East Pole Alliance Master be a great demonic figure? However, it's rumored that even modern demonic cultivators cannot withstand the erosion of ancient true demonic energy. What exactly is the origin of Immortal Aunt Yue's old acquaintance?"
Qin Sang put away the talisman, mulling over these thoughts.
As he recalled the East Pole Alliance Master, he unexpectedly found the person's image to be very blurry and mysterious. There seemed to be many rumors, but they were all vague and deeply hidden.
The masters of the other two major trade alliances were also like this; no one could clearly state their true cultivation levels.
In contrast, the Demonic Lord, the leader of the righteous path, and Ling Zhuzi, the Sect Master of Heavenly Dao Sect, were less mysterious; it was certain that all of them were grand cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage.
"Truth mixed with falsehood, falsehood mixed with truth; you within me, and I within you. On top of that, the Witch Clan and Demon Clan are watching covetously from outside. The cultivation world here is truly chaotic."
Qin Sang sighed, deciding not to delve deeper into these matters to avoid trouble.
Meanwhile, Immortal Aunt Yue silently descended into the valley, slowly making her way down along the rock face.
As she descended deeper, she noticed the mist below growing darker and the true demonic energy becoming denser.
At this moment, Immortal Aunt Yue's expression subtly hardened. She suddenly swung her arm, spreading her fingers, and several transparent silk threads shot out from her fingertips, vanishing into the dense mist in the blink of an eye.
Not far below Immortal Aunt Yue, on a protruding rock, a condor the size of an adult human stood there. It appeared to be sleeping but was actually very alert and on guard.
This place inevitably bore the erosion of true demonic energy.
This black-feathered condor had its head tucked under its wing, standing on one leg. The flowing luster on its feathers allowed it to resist the true demonic energy.
The transparent threads descended from above, yet the vigilant condor remained completely unaware.
Only when the threads reached it did the condor suddenly become alert. Its wings abruptly spread, and it craned its neck high as if to scream, but no sound escaped its throat. Its eyes filled with panic.
In an instant, the condor was completely enveloped by the threads, unable to move.
Immortal Aunt Yue appeared on the rock, frowning as she stared at the condor.
"The anomaly has indeed alerted the great demon. This condor has peak Demonic Spirit stage strength and was left here to guard. The other demonic beasts must have gone to report to the great demon."
Immortal Aunt Yue looked upwards, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Judging by the scene here, the true demonic energy must have only leaked recently. There's still time..."
After a brief contemplation, Immortal Aunt Yue cupped her hand, and fire flickered on the threads. The condor's body was instantly incinerated, and she continued her descent.
The valley bottom was very deep.
More and more true demonic energy rose from below, forcing even Immortal Aunt Yue to activate her protective magical artifact to resist its erosion.
Apart from that condor, there were no other demonic beasts in the valley.
Immortal Aunt Yue descended with ease, finally stepping onto solid ground in the complete darkness.
"Fortunately, the accumulated true demonic energy here isn't vast, otherwise, with my cultivation, I wouldn't dare force my way in! Success or failure hinges on this single attempt; please don't let me down!"
A fervent glint flashed in Immortal Aunt Yue's eyes. After searching for a moment, she found an inconspicuous cave entrance.
Extremely pure true demonic energy continuously poured out from the cave entrance. The surroundings were in disarray; the restrictive spells had been completely obliterated by the surge of true demonic energy.
Confirming there were no traces of a great demon, Immortal Aunt Yue eagerly entered the cave.
The cave was winding and rugged, sloping downwards. Immortal Aunt Yue soon arrived at an underground hall. Her foot suddenly made a 'click' sound, and picking it up, she saw that she had stepped on a piece of broken jade.
Upon seeing the broken jade, Immortal Aunt Yue's expression drastically changed. She hurried into the hall, only to find more and more broken jade inside, almost covering the entire floor.
"Have they all shattered?"
Immortal Aunt Yue's throat felt parched. These were the jade coffins she had left behind, now reduced to fragments!
"Open!"
Immortal Aunt Yue let out a low cry. Threads shot out in all directions, emitting fire that briefly forced back the surrounding true demonic energy, making the scene in the hall clearly visible.
In the center of the hall was a complex grand formation, and at its heart, a jade coffin stood prominently, completely intact.
Inside the jade coffin was a young girl!
The girl was exceptionally beautiful and pure. She lay in the jade coffin with her eyes closed, like a sleeping beauty.
She was completely unclothed, with graceful curves. Her skin was unusually fair, even pallid, devoid of any color.
Upon seeing the girl in the coffin, a deep surge of joy and surprise appeared in Immortal Aunt Yue's eyes. Her figure flickered, and she appeared beside the jade coffin, bending down to stare intently at the girl with an infatuated gaze.
She extended her bark-like hands and caressed the jade coffin, as if stroking the girl's cheek, doing so very gently and carefully.
Especially after noticing the girl's slightly twitching nostrils, Immortal Aunt Yue let out a silent, booming laugh.
She quickly snapped out of her ecstasy, casting a wary glance at the cave entrance. Then, she bit her fingertip and used her blood to engrave mysterious runes on the jade coffin.
Blood runes covered the jade coffin, glowing with a crimson light.
The next moment, all the blood runes completely merged into the jade coffin.
Immortal Aunt Yue lifted with force, and the jade coffin opened. The girl's eyelids fluttered, then slowly opened, revealing a bewildered expression as she slowly sat up from the jade coffin.
"You're awake?"
Immortal Aunt Yue's voice was like a curse. The girl flinched, her face showing fright, seemingly very afraid of Immortal Aunt Yue.
"Do you remember your name? Who am I to you?"
Immortal Aunt Yue stared into the girl's eyes, her voice low, like a demonic whisper.
"I..."
The girl opened her mouth, then suddenly convulsed in pain, clutching her head and trembling violently.
Immortal Aunt Yue watched her coldly, neither speaking nor intervening.
"My name is Sunü! You are Master."
The girl abruptly stopped trembling, her face blank, staring intently at Immortal Aunt Yue.
Immortal Aunt Yue's lips curled into a slight smile. In an alluring tone, she said, "That's right! Your name is Sunü, and you are my disciple! You are now the one and only Sunü! Do you remember your abilities? Show them to me!"
Sunü looked around, her face still bewildered.
At this point, Immortal Aunt Yue released a thread, and a surge of true demonic energy rushed in. The girl instinctively raised her hand and grasped the energy. Unconsciously, she began to circulate her cultivation art, and then an astonishing scene unfolded.
The true demonic energy was directly absorbed into the girl's body. The girl let out a scream, curling up on the ground in agony, but then the energy was devoured by five peculiar meridians within her.
Although the absorption wasn't fast, the true demonic energy gradually became docile.
The girl recovered, still looking bewildered.
At this moment, the smile on Immortal Aunt Yue's face could no longer be hidden. Her wrinkles bunched together as she let out a wild laugh: "Haha... the Five-Yin Wondrous Physique! It truly is the Five-Yin Wondrous Physique! That secret art really works; with the help of ancient true demonic energy, one can indeed refine a Post-Heaven Five-Yin Wondrous Physique! The ancients did not deceive me!"
