Nine Yang Sword Saint

Chapter 267: Identity Exposed!

Immediately after, Dongfang Niemie said, “Child, hurry up and make use of the opportunity to cultivate your mystic qi. I can feel that this crystal has a very pure energy, even though it isn’t very intense. It might be the fire attribute, but it doesn’t have many impurities. By using the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, you can refine it into your qi vessel. It will be much faster than you cultivating on the outside.”

Subsequently, Dongfang Niemie said helplessly, “Even if you cannot obtain the Mystic Flame, it will be good to have a breakthrough with cultivation.”

That’s right. Yang Dingtian’s effort wasn’t going in vain.

Yang Dingtian took a glance at Dongfang Bingling and said, “It will be up to your luck if you can recover. I am going to cultivate.”

Immediately after, Yang Dingtian sat cross-legged and relaxed his mind to begin cultivation.

He used the Pig Slaying Sword Art’s mystic qi absorption method to absorb the mystic qi energy into his mystic meridians. He then used the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique to refine the fire attribute mystic qi into pure mystic qi and guided it into the qi vessel.

Yang Dingtian was pleasantly surprised to find out that although the mystic qi might not be as concentrated as the outside, the purity was extremely high.

When the outside mystic qi was refined, only a few tenths of the pure mystic qi would enter the qi vessel.

But after refining the mystic qi here, close to 80% of it could enter the qi vessel.

It also meant that the cultivation speed in this place was over a dozen times faster than the outside. If Yang Dingtian used his normal cultivation, he would need at least half a year to break through by one star. But if he cultivated here, he would only need around 20 days to breakthrough.

This speed was truly astounding.

Just like that, Yang Dingtian constantly absorbed the mystic qi and used the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique before guiding the pure mystic qi into the qi vessel.

One hour later, two hours later, three hours later, ten hours later...

This place was different from the outside. On the outside, only the morning mystic qi’s purity was relatively higher.

Twelve hours later, Yang Dingtian stopped his cultivation temporarily.

As he had been cultivating without rest, these twelve hours of cultivation were already equivalent to more than one month of cultivation on the outside.

This red crystal was indeed very mystical.

He had temporarily stopped cultivating because it was closer to the moment when the Mystic Flame would bloom, and he was unable to keep a calm mind.

At this moment, Qin Huaiyu and the others must have already returned to the place where the Mystic Flame was going to bloom. They must have also realized that Dongfang Bingling didn’t die. They should have already searched all around and might have possibly searched the unfreezing water below.

But the trio should be unable to pass through the 1,000 meters of the unfreezing water. They didn’t have the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians, and they didn’t have Ah Chou to transfer energy. Ah Chou was able to transfer energy to Yang Dingtian because it had primal divine senses.

The only youngling sword in this world that possessed the primal divine senses would be Ah Chou.

Hence, this place should be safe for Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and wanted to continue hugging Ah Chou for cultivation.

Suddenly, he noticed an anomaly, and it was on Dongfang Bingling’s body.

After taking a closer look, the ice on Dongfang Bingling had actually receded.

That’s right; the ice that was at her forehead was now at the eye. It was roughly an inch from the original position.

The ice was receding at one inch every twelve hours.

Yang Dingtian understood that it was due to this red crystal.

The crystal was constantly emitting fire energy. Even though it wasn’t powerful, it was very pure. Furthermore, it was an endless supply and was able to recede the ice by one inch after twelve hours.

According to this speed, her body would be completely defrosted after close to one month.

This speed might still be considered slow, but it was much better as compared to 30 years.

***

Yang Dingtian gradually closed his eyes and continued cultivation.

Just like that, the time went by bit by bit.

Yang Dingtian’s cultivation was increasing gradually, while the ice on Dongfang Bingling’s body was receding gradually. Just as he was preparing to sleep peacefully, a sneer broke all the serenity.

“Shen Lang, Fairy Dongfang, the two of you are really blessed.” Gudu Wuhuan’s unique voice echoed by the side of Yang Dingtian’s ears.

Yang Dingtian suddenly opened his eyes. His body shook violently while he looked around at rapid speed.

Could this Gudu Wuhuan be so incredible and could actually cross the 1,000-meter of unfreezing water?

The space beside Yang Dingtian was very small, and it was only a few square meters. Apart from Dongfang Bingling, he couldn’t see anybody else. But Gudu Wuhuan’s voice felt like it was just beside his ear, while there was a 1,000-meter unfreezing pool above his head.

The entire unfreezing pool was pure and flawless. It was still emitting natural fluorescence that gave high visibility, and he wasn’t able to see any figures in the water.

“Shen Lang, Fairy Dongfang, I know that the two of you are under the unfreezing pool.” Gudu Wuhuan sneered and said, “It is impossible for you to leave the lake, and we have searched every corner of this lake. Hence, the only possible hiding place for you is below the unfreezing water.”

Yang Dingtian was holding his breath without uttering a single word.

“Mister Shen Lang, everyone knows that once the second chapter of the Sacrifice has started, there is no way to interrupt it. But you were actually able to interrupt it and rescue Dongfang Bingling. Furthermore, you have also successfully dived through the unfreezing pool.” Gudu Wuhuan said, “In this world, I truly cannot imagine who else can do all those things.”

Yang Dingtian didn’t bother about Gudu Wuhuan. At the same time, the Gudu Wuhuan continued, “Once the Sacrifice is started, one would have to offer the entire soul to ice energy to gather several times more energy. To interrupt the Sacrifice, one would need to penetrate the energy protection of the Sacrifice’s practitioner. Dongfang Bingling’s cultivation is already close to the Master class, and it is imaginable how powerful a few dozen times her energy would be. I, Qin Huaiyu, and Dugu Fengwu were unable to penetrate her energy protection even by working together. Not even a Grandmaster would be able to do it with ease. But you were able to do it. How?”

Yang Dingtian still didn’t bother, but his heart was a little uneasy.

“The reason is very simple.” Gudu Wuhuan said, “Because you used a thunder attribute mystic skill to knock out Dongfang Bingling. Be it the fire attribute or ice attribute, none of those can penetrate the energy protection, apart from the thunder attribute. The thunder attribute mystic skills can ignore all kinds of defense.”

Yang Dingtian’s breath had suddenly become irregular.

Gudu Wuhuan carried on talking, “Everyone knows that someone knows the thunder attribute mystic skill in this world. It is naturally the Hidden Sect’s disciple, Wu Ming. But the Hidden Sect’s disciple is actually a fake. Then it is very clear, who exactly are you, Mister Shen Lang, isn’t that right? Mister Yang Dingtian...”

Finally, Gudu Wuhuan said Yang Dingtian’s name.

“Why would a person called Shen Lang actually risk his life to enter the Northwest Qin City to cheat the Mystic Flame’s map? This is rather illogical. But if this person is Yang Dingtian, then everything would become clear, isn’t that right?” Gudu Wuhuan said.
