Chapter 188 - The Darkest Minds Series by Alexandra Bracken

Zhou Yun Sheng bit the bullet and walked over, he undid his sash, then sat between Zong Yi's arms, face to face, his legs wrapped around his waist. The two drew in qi together and were soon immersed in cultivation, the surrounding spiritual energy formed a huge whirlpool, flowing into the two's foreheads, thinning out the surrounding mist.

For two years, Zong Yi sent his own Yuanyang [semen] into his small disciple's stomach for refining, he also sucked in his small disciple's Yuanyang, for the first time, his cold face exposed a satisfied and well fed expression.

Zhou Yun Sheng woke up from two years of pleasure, his cheeks red, his eyes wet, his brow scrunched in passion. He clung onto Zong Yi's strong arms, panting, he heard a slight chuckle as Zong Yi withdrew from his body, and all the hair on his body, from top to bottom, stood erect.

Zong Yi draped his robe over his shoulder, then opened solemnly, "Small disciple needs to seize the time to cultivate. As soon as your Gold Core breaks into Yuanying, we can use the Yuanshen dual cultivation. The feeling will be very different, and your progress will shot forward rapidly."

Zhou Yun Sheng just glared at him silently. It's only natural that he knew what it felt like to use the Yuanshen dual cultivation, similar to the last life when their souls and bodies were directly entangled, although the pleasure was now should be numerous times that.

Please don't use such a serious expression and tone to say such a shameful thing, I've long seen through your perverted motives! He pinched Zong Yi's pecs.

Zong Yi took his hand and held it up to his lips, printing a kiss, his tone full of indulgence, "Small disciple shouldn't behave naughtily, if we do the dual cultivation again, we'll miss the sect's grand tournament."

The sect tournament? Zhou Yun Sheng immediately put on his robe and checked his dantian. The miniature black hole was suspended in the middle of his dantian, with stars occasionally flashing, the outer transparent shell had turned into a pale golden color, giving people a very abstruse feeling.

"What rank am I now? Jindan?" He asked, puzzled.

Zong Yi looked into his body, saw the golden stone, and was also silent.

While they were pandering, dark clouds suddenly gathered above them, rumbling thunder rolling over from the horizon. Well then, he was undoubtedly at Jindan.

The dark clouds grew thicker, lightning shuttling like a purple dragon within the clouds, judging from its momentum, it should be 9×9 Heavenly Tribulations.

Zhou Yun Sheng sneered, "It seems that heavenly law really doesn't tolerate us. Master, move back so you don't get affected." These past few years, he had continued perfecting his cultivation method while also refining his body. He'd restored half of his original soul force, and he'd cultivate the body refining technique to the sixth circle, he should have no problem bearing the lightning tribulations.

Zong Yi silently moved out of the scope of the tribulation clouds. If heavenly law became aware of his presence, there would certainly be another 9×9 Heavenly Tribulations to join with the first, which would be troublesome.

Zhou Yun Sheng had already experienced a cultivation world, he knew the feeling of bearing lighting tribulations, but this time was harder to bear than ever before. His body was scorched by one menacing layer after another, if he hadn't cultivated the body refining technique, he would've long been dead and vaporized. The stone in his dantian kept shaking, the lightning tribulations being sucked into his internal organs, almost making his body explode.

The stone was usually easy to use, but he hadn't expected to receive such an unfair challenge before Dujie. Zhou Yun Sheng couldn't back out, he could only brave through it. When he was on his last breath, the 9×9 lighting tribulations finally completely fell, and the influx of spiritual energy restored his near death body to top strength.

He looked at his dantian, the shell wrapped around the black vortex was even more golden, faint purple lightning coursing within. The black whirlpool could absorb spiritual energy and the force of the five elements, naturally, it could also absorb the power of lightning. If used with Fog Arts, the power would be greatly improved. This could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Zhou Yun Sheng gave a satisfied smile and stepped out of the charred land.

Zong Yi stretched out his arms to embrace him, then looked up at the sky, killing intent flicking across his gaze.

——————————–

Grand Elder had never taken a step out of Promise Immortal Sect for his 400 years of life. This time he traveled with his small disciple for ten years. In this decade, two Dasheng Qi elders were defeated by lightning tribulations and fell, resulting in unstable morale among Promise Immortal Sect followers.

Will Grand Elder come back? He cultivated the Shattered Heaven Sword Path, had he also faced difficulty and fell? The disciples gossiped amongst themselves, most hoping to see Grand Elder safe and sound again. If Grand Elder fell, Promise Immortal Sect would lose its status as first sect, even worse, it would also be suppressed by the other major sects.

However, Song Yufei and Mo Yu didn't want Grand Elder to come back. During the past ten years, they felt more and more inferior. Mo Yu couldn't get rid of the internal demons' control, so her cultivation base had not progressed an inch. Song Yufei was being complete ostracized within the sect, even his disciple brothers in First Thunder Peak also shunned him as if he was a viper.

Whenever he took on a group task, the other team members would always force him to withdraw for a variety of reasons. No one wanted to cooperate with a person who would harm his sect brother for self-interest, they were fearful of Fang Wen Guang's shady death.

But Song Yufei couldn't back out, so he could only work with his First Thunder Peak brothers on group tasks as much as possible. But even though they didn't outright reject him, they gave him the silent treatment, excluding him. The same situation occurred several times before Song Yufei felt bored and he went out by himself to gain experience. Fortunately, he had the Mysterious Immortal in the jade pendant to protect him, safe and secure, and with her knowledge, experience, and extraordinary spiritual awareness, she helped him find a few secret Immortal Caves, a few priceless treasures, and an ancient cultivation method, making his strength increase by leaps and bounds.

When he came back for the sect tournament, he was already late stage Jindan, considered the top student among the disciples from his term.

Chi Xiao Zhenren stood on an elegant platform to look over and encourage the disciples, among the audience, Zou Yiming whispered a question, "Do you think Grand Elder and Fang Xinghai might not come back? Didn't he sign a life and death contract with junior sister? He'd also said he'd get revenge on you and me."

"Perhaps they already died outside." Mo Yu said with a cold and gloomy expression.

Song Yufei smiled and waved his hand, "Things of this world are unpredictable, maybe they will come back in the next moment."

His words were really fulfilled, immediately, a black sword streaked through the sky, directly passing through the Inner Sect's large defense array. It stopped over the tournament field, and Grand Elder stepped off carrying his small disciple.

The two people were wearing exactly the same style of black patterned robe, the same white jade hairpin, only one was tall and big, and the other was small and thin. An extraordinarily handsome and cold face, a gentle yokai face, although their temperament was different, standing together, they were very harmonious.

Chi Xiao Zhenren immediately ended his lecture and led the crowd through the starting ceremony.

Zong Yi dully asked, "The grand tournament started already?"

"It's been a few days. The Zhuji Qi disciples' tournament ended yesterday, today is the Jindan Qi disciples' tournament." Chi Xiao Zhenren secretly checked Fang Xinghai's ​​cultivation base, but he couldn't sense his strength.

"So it's begun." Zong Yi walked toward the elders' section, habitual stretching out his arms so his small disciple could seat on his knee.

Zhou Yun Sheng gave him a warning glance, then moved to stand behind his seat.

Mo Yu looked back and stared fixedly at Fang Xinghai, her heart full of killing intent. Zou Yiming let out an annoyed humph, looking at Fang Xinghai with extreme disdain.

Song Yufei unobtrusively scrutinized the two people and asked in his heart, "What is Fang Xinghai's cultivation base now?"

The woman sent out her spiritual awareness to give him a once over, then slowly smiled, "He's just early stage Jindan, not your opponent."

Zong Yi was aware of the woman's spiritual awareness touching his small disciple, his expression chilled. He glanced at them, sending out a thread of black divine light along his line of sight to penetrate the jade pendant, hitting the woman in the chest, making her almost involuntarily cry out in pain. He projected into the woman's mind in an ice cold voice, "Don't spy on my small disciple, if there's a next time, you will face terrifying consequences."

He was able to attack her with only his eyesight, this was the first time the women really understood the dreadful power of Ding Guang Zhenren. Cultivators of the Shattered Heaven Sword Path really were defying the natural order in order to exist, those Immortal Seniors in the Immortal World who only recognized strong powers, like that of the previous Emperor, should really come to Grand Heaven World to examine him.

The woman pulled her spiritual awareness back in, enduring the pain, and silently fled into her loft, putting down layers of defense arrays.

Song Yufei didn't know that the woman was suffering, he got his answer and no longer inquired, turning his attention to the fights, relaxed.

Zong Yi summoned Chi Xiao Zhenren to his side, pointed to his small disciple and said, "Mo Yu, Zou Yiming, and Song Yufei are small Xing's opponents. Ten years ago, they made a vow, do you remember?"

"I didn't dare forget. Just one question for Grand Elder, if they accidentally injure your high disciple, how will they be handled?" Chi Xiao Zhenren probed.

"There's nothing to handle, as the old saying goes, if I die, it's because my skills are inferior, it has nothing to do with others, and of course, vice versa." Zhou Yun Sheng raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Zong Yi gipped his wrist and harshly scolded, "I've told you many times, don't carelessly mention your death!" Whenever he heard those words, his heart would always leap in alarm, his panic unbearable.

Zhou Yun Sheng's cold expression immediately softened, he obediently promised, "I won't say it anymore, this was the last time."

Zong Yi's expression eased at this, he looked at Chi Xiao Zhenren, "You can arrange everything. If the sect tournament fights are fair, I won't intervene."

Grand Elder had upright character, if he said he wouldn't intervene, then he wouldn't go back on his words. Chi Xiao Zhenren's tensed heart loosened, he ordered the change to the competition.

Mo Yu and Zou Yiming were eager, their killing intent surging. But Song Yufei was somewhat distress, he wanted to kill Fang Xinghai, but he feared offending the Grand Elder, whether to beat until half dead or beat until a third dead, this was the question.
