Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Qian Xunji: Please Don’t Come, the Spirit Hall Has Been Hollowed Out
Starry Immortal Robe!
Soul Ring Upgrade Card!
The latter had already been obtained once before, so there's no need to mention it. However, the Starry Immortal Robe was truly magnificent—perfectly sized, immaculate, with no specks of dust, and could be stored within the body. It also boasted incredibly strong defensive capabilities, along with special effects like invisibility.
"I already had excellent defense, but now with the Starry Immortal Robe, it's practically maxed out. Even if a god showed up, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to break through!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but marvel quietly.
He didn't rush to use the Starry Immortal Robe or the Soul Ring upgrade card. Instead, he looked at Ling Yuan in his arms, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, her gaze elegant, her exquisite face carrying an air of cold beauty.
As their interactions deepened, and with the gifts and promises Zhou Yi had offered, the sense of distance and unfamiliarity had almost entirely disappeared.
As a certain famous writer once said:
"The fastest and most effective way to understand a woman and win her heart is through her body."
Although they had grown familiar with each other, the time they had known each other was still short. Moreover, Ling Yuan, as a Titled Douluo powerhouse, maintained a certain reserve.
She remained distant and aloof, even after everything.
Even when things became intense, she merely bit her lip, suppressing any loud sounds, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, her eyes tightly shut, unwilling to meet Zhou Yi's gaze.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi was further invigorated.
It was hard to say how much time passed, but eventually, Ling Yuan, her body limp and lying in Zhou Yi's arms, regained some semblance of awareness. Suddenly, she spoke:
"What do you plan to do with the Devil Bear Douluo and the others?"
"What do you think?"
Zhou Yi, still holding her soft body, leaned close to her ear and casually asked.
"Killing them would mean tearing our relationship with the Spirit Hall. It's better to subdue them."
Ling Yuan replied, "They're all Titled Douluos, very powerful, and they're not particularly loyal to the Spirit Hall. As long as we lure them with martial arts techniques, they'll surely submit."
Qian Xunji: "You truly are a good elder!"
"Mm."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly and planted a kiss on Ling Yuan's beautiful face. "Rest for a while, I'll go check on them to make sure they aren't poisoned to death!"
Ling Yuan gave a slight nod of her head, and Zhou Yi gently pulled away, covering her with a blanket before heading towards the locations of the Devil Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, and the Porcupinefish Douluo.
The Starry Immortal Robe automatically appeared on his body.
Convenient.
Effortless.
He didn't rush to save them. Instead, Zhou Yi used the Soul Ring upgrade card on his second Soul Ring, upgrading it to a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.
The original soul skill, Horizon in a Step, was super-evolved into a teleportation skill.
Zhou Yi tested it.
The teleportation effect was excellent.
"Instantly a thousand meters."
Quite impressive.
After returning to his original position, Zhou Yi looked at the four Titled Douluos lying on the ground. With a wave of his hand, four detoxification pills entered their mouths.
"Heavenly Palace Mirage!"
Before they could regain consciousness, Zhou Yi used his spiritual energy to manipulate their minds, conjuring an illusory world deep within their consciousness, resembling an ethereal paradise.
In this world,
Zhou Yi sat on high above the nine heavens, his divine and imposing presence overlooking the realms. Three thousand immortals, gods, and demons bowed to him in reverence, all worshiping the Martial Ancestor.
When the Devil Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo, and Serpent Spear Douluo arrived here, they were like little white rabbits in the midst of a lion's den.
Under Zhou Yi's terrifying majesty, their minds went blank, filled only with awe and submission as they knelt and cried out the name of the Martial Ancestor.
The years passed.
After centuries of worshiping the Martial Ancestor, the Martial Ancestor finally bestowed upon them a martial arts divine skill.
The Solitary Yang Skill.
They received the Solitary Yang Skill, and after decades of hard cultivation, their cultivation finally broke through to the hundredth level.
Then,
They awoke.
The four of them opened their eyes, feeling the unfamiliar illusion around them, their faces filled with confusion.
"Awake?"
A calm voice sounded. To their ears, it was like a thunderclap, deafening and world-shaking. The four of them shuddered instinctively.
They leaped to their feet and, with practiced ease, immediately bowed:
"Greetings, Martial Ancestor!"
Zhou Yi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, not turning to look at them. He continued:
"You dared to intrude upon my cultivation ground and were poisoned and fainted!"
"I have relieved you of the poison, and then, using my great powers, entered your dreams to transmit the Solitary Yang Skill. In the future, if you perform well, I will impart even more profound and mysterious techniques!"
"Becoming a god is not difficult!"
"Thank you, Martial Ancestor, for your grace. We are willing to serve Martial Ancestor with our lives."
The four of them did not hesitate, speaking in unison with a resolute and powerful voice.
At the same time, as Zhou Yi explained, they began to gradually recall their memories.
It was simply that Zhou Yi had used the Heavenly Palace Mirage to immerse them in a mental illusion for several hundred years, helping them distinguish between reality and illusion.
No matter what, Zhou Yi's authority had been deeply engraved in their hearts, and they were almost incapable of betraying him.
"Try practicing the Solitary Yang Skill for now!" Zhou Yi turned around and spoke to them.
"Yes, Martial Ancestor!" The four of them calmed their minds, recalling the sensation of having practiced the Solitary Yang Skill for decades within the illusion and began their cultivation.
Zhou Yi's calm and deep eyes watched them quietly.
This was Zhou Yi's first time using the Heavenly Palace Mirage to transmit a technique in the mental realm, and he was unsure of its effectiveness.
Naturally, the Devil Bear Douluo and his group became his test subjects.
If this method succeeded, Zhou Yi's ability to spread martial arts would become much faster and more efficient.
For the women who were just beginning to come into contact with martial arts, Zhou Yi could also rely on this method to quickly teach them martial techniques.
The Devil Bear Douluo and his team, having practiced the Solitary Yang Skill for decades in the illusion, were now highly proficient.
They faced no barriers in their practice now.
Zhou Yi's spiritual sight could clearly observe the flow of Soul Power within them, with no errors whatsoever.
As their Soul Power circulated with the technique, it swiftly transformed into Solitary Yang True Qi.
"Very good! Very good! Excellent!" Zhou Yi was overjoyed.
This method worked!
Whoosh.
With a flash of movement, Zhou Yi appeared next to Ling Yuan Douluo, lifted the blanket, and moved closer, his hand resting on her soft, warm body.
"Do you want more?" Ling Yuan's beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of fear.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you a divine technique."
Zhou Yi did not move but instead used the Heavenly Palace Mirage to transmit the Nine Yin True Scripture to Ling Yuan in the mental realm.
The Nine Yin True Scripture was similar to the Sacred Heart Sutra, encompassing a vast array of knowledge.
It contained not only techniques but also numerous complementary martial skills, such as Soul Transference, Bone Strengthening, Spiral Nine Shadows, Nine Yin White Bone Claws, and so on.
After ten years of cultivation, Ling Yuan had mastered it all.
Zhou Yi removed the Heavenly Palace Mirage.
Ling Yuan awoke, disoriented for a while, and finally regained her composure. She felt the martial techniques she had acquired in her mind, overwhelmed with emotion.
"Husband, thank you!"
Ling Yuan was at a loss for words on how to express her feelings and, unusually, became proactive.
Of course, Zhou Yi did not hold back.
The two of them stayed on the mountain where the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well resided for three days.
Every corner of this place bore the imprint of their presence.
Three days later, Ling Yuan led the Devil Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo, and Serpent Spear Douluo back to Spirit Hall.
Zhou Yi promised Ling Yuan that he would come for her soon to marry her.
As for the four Douluos, they would not follow Zhou Yi for the time being but instead return to the Spirit Hall to act as elders and wait for the right moment.
