Chapter 849: Nine-turn Chayin Body

"Although the Five-Yin Wonderful Physique is not as effective as the Nine-Reincarnation Charming Yin Physique the Alliance Leader seeks, it can barely withstand the erosion of true demonic energy. Unfortunately, this secret method of forcefully infusing true demonic energy to refine the Five-Yin Wonderful Physique has a pitifully low success rate and extremely demanding requirements. If I hadn't unexpectedly obtained a Qingyin Stone in the Seven Kill Temple, I wouldn't even have been able to set up the spirit formation. Fortunately, one succeeded; I only hope this Su Nü does not disappoint me."

Yue Xiangu murmured inwardly, her gaze softening considerably as she looked at Su Nü.

She took a brocade robe from her mustard seed bag and draped it over Su Nü, saying gently, "Su Nü, you possess the Five-Yin Wonderful Physique. Your cultivation will progress with twice the results for half the effort, and you have a boundless future. To help you develop this Five-Yin Wonderful Physique, I spent all my wealth and toiled for a hundred years to complete this ritual. When the time comes, please do not forget your master."

Su Nü clutched the brocade robe tightly and nodded her delicate head.

She had lost many memories, but her remaining recollections consistently showed that the person before her was her dearest relative and the master who loved her most.

Her initial fear had vanished, and her gaze towards Yue Xiangu was now filled with filial affection.

Yue Xiangu smiled with satisfaction. "Alright, the spirit formation is about to be destroyed by the backlash of the true demonic energy. We must leave this place quickly. The journey home will be quite perilous, and I cannot guarantee your safety indefinitely. The true demonic energy within the spirit formation is already connected to your vital energy; quickly absorb it to restore your original strength. You might even be able to break through, which would give you some power to protect yourself if something unexpected happens."

At this moment, Su Nü's body was frail, and her aura was extremely weak, only slightly stronger than that of a mortal.

Su Nü obediently followed Yue Xiangu's instructions and lay back down in the jade coffin.

Yue Xiangu closed the jade coffin and gently pushed it to the very center of the spirit formation.

This spirit formation was very strange. At its center was a palm-sized, square stone without any openings, yet it continuously emitted strange wailing sounds.

When the jade coffin landed on the stone, Yue Xiangu once again inscribed blood talismans onto it. However, unlike last time, these blood talismans were far more intricate.

After completing the blood talismans, Yue Xiangu's hand seals continuously changed.

A surge of true demonic energy emerged under Yue Xiangu's guidance and poured into the jade coffin.

In the blink of an eye, Su Nü inside the jade coffin was submerged by the true demonic energy.

Unlike the wild and unruly true demonic energy outside, these energies appeared calm, flowing quietly within the jade coffin. A vortex slowly formed at the center, pointing towards Su Nü's dantian.

Su Nü lay there motionless, while Yue Xiangu outside seemed even more exhausted than her.

As she absorbed the true demonic energy, Su Nü's aura steadily climbed, breaking through the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining stage in one go, then suddenly stopped.

At this moment, crisp cracking sounds emanated from the edge of the spirit formation, and cracks appeared, indicating it was on the verge of destruction. Yue Xiangu looked somewhat nervous, staring intently at Su Nü.

The stagnation of her cultivation didn't last long; Su Nü successfully established her foundation, and that wasn't all—her aura was still surging.

Yue Xiangu's face showed delight, and she opened her mouth. Suddenly, she saw cracks appearing in the stone at the center of the spirit formation. Her eyes widened in alarm, and daring not to linger, she hastily flicked her sleeve, shattering the jade coffin, sweeping up Su Nü inside, and retreating rapidly.

*Boom!*

Before they could fly out of the cave entrance, the spirit formation was completely destroyed by the true demonic energy.

A tremendous roar echoed. The released true demonic energy resembled a terrifying black dragon, an unstoppable force that destroyed gods and Buddhas in its path, surging out from the depths of the cave. Its astonishing might made even Yue Xiangu's expression change.

They fled wildly within the cave, scrambling frantically, and dared not linger after rushing out of the cave.

At this moment, Qin Sang and the other two, who were on alert at the valley summit, also sensed something amiss. They looked down into the mist-shrouded deep valley.

*Whoosh!*

Yue Xiangu emerged from the sea of mist with Su Nü. Behind them was a terrifying black shadow, resembling a colossal beast of darkness surging from the abyss.

Seeing this scene, the three exchanged glances, their expressions solemn.

It was clear that the dark behemoth was composed of true demonic energy. They didn't know what Yue Xiangu had done to provoke such a surge of true demonic energy. With the true demonic energy erupting, they were powerless to suppress it and could only watch as it surged towards the sky. The resulting phenomenon would be clearly visible hundreds of miles away.

This island was a lair for countless demonic beasts.

It was easy to arrive, but leaving safely would not be so simple.

"Daoist Qingfeng, catch Su Nü!"

With the true demonic energy close at hand, Yue Xiangu cried out urgently and, with a forceful flick, hurled Su Nü towards Qin Sang.

Qin Sang hastily activated his True Essence, creating a gentle force to catch Su Nü. He found her body light and soft, as if weightless, and couldn't help but glance at her.

Having nearly been devoured by the true demonic energy, Su Nü's eyes showed some panic, yet her expression remained relatively calm. She softly said, "Thank you, Daoist."

Qin Sang discovered that Su Nü's aura was somewhat peculiar, subtly similar to the true demonic energy. It turned out this woman cultivated by means of true demonic energy, which was extremely rare in this era.

She seemed to be performing some unique secret art, making her body as light as a feather.

When carrying cultivators with low cultivation to use escape arts, both speed and energy consumption would inevitably be affected. With Su Nü cooperating using her secret art, she should not hinder his progress.

Qin Sang nodded slightly, grabbed Su Nü's wrist, and with their figures flashing, they withdrew from the valley entrance.

At the same time, Yue Xiangu was caught by the true demonic energy. Her silk thread magical artifact formed a large net, taking the brunt of the impact for her. After being submerged by the true demonic energy, its spiritual light dimmed at an alarming rate, then was completely dispersed.

A tragic cry was heard as the true demonic energy struck Yue Xiangu's protective spiritual light.

Fortunately, Bamboo Mountain Elder and Kong Yun reacted quickly. Seeing the perilous situation, they immediately rushed back into the deep valley, summoned their respective magical artifacts, and at the last moment, helped Yue Xiangu block the true demonic energy's impact, saving her.

*Whoosh, whoosh...*

Bamboo Mountain Elder and Kong Yun, supporting Yue Xiangu on either side, swept to Qin Sang's side.

By this time, the true demonic energy had dispersed the mist and shot straight into the sky.

In the dawn sky, a black pillar of energy was clearly visible, forming a colossal black cloud high above. Moreover, astonishing fluctuations spread far and wide, waking the sleeping demonic beasts in the mountains.

Disregarding the damage to her magical artifact, Yue Xiangu cried out, "Quick, let's go!"

Knowing the danger of the place, everyone dared not delay. They protected Su Nü in the center and fled at full speed along their original path.

Qin Sang and the others wisely did not inquire about Su Nü's identity.

The true demonic energy triggered a celestial phenomenon, and the demonic island seemed to erupt in chaos. Weaker demonic beasts fell into panic, while the powerful great demons rushed one after another towards the direction where the black cloud appeared.

Not far from the deep valley.

An exceptionally magnificent golden eagle was leading several vultures as they flew towards this area. After seeing the soaring black pillar, the golden eagle let out a long cry, abandoned its subordinates, and with a flap of its wings, transformed into a golden lightning bolt.

Inside a mountain cave, a giant bear was in deep slumber, awakened by the fluctuations of the true demonic energy. Its eyes opened wide like copper bells, exuding a fierce and intimidating gaze. Then, it sensed the golden eagle's aura approaching, daring to intrude into its territory, and immediately fell into a furious rage.
