Chapter 82 - 79: Get Out of Yuling Sect

"He forgot about his injuries and forced his way out as soon as the seal loosened, only to be forced back by the restrictive seal. Now his injuries are even worse, and he won’t be able to come out for a short time," the mysterious woman said.

Mo Qianqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that he couldn’t come out. It would be best if he died; otherwise, Mo Qianqian would be in grave danger.

"Senior, you shouldn’t be able to come out yet, right?" Mo Qianqian asked. He hoped this Second-Layer Coffin would take a little longer to break its seal, or else he would be in just as much danger. If the existence inside managed to escape, he would have no power to resist.

"Hehe..." The mysterious woman let out a rare laugh. "Don’t worry, I won’t come out for now, unless you actively dig out that coffin and open it."

Mo Qianqian made a mental note: even if he were beaten to death, he absolutely would not dig it out!

"However, this guy in the first layer, the seal has weakened. It probably won’t be long before he comes out again," the mysterious woman added.

Mo Qianqian’s face fell again. Was this "short time" that the Gun God couldn’t come out literally just a very short amount of time?

"However, your current situation is not good. Survive first," the mysterious woman said. "Do you see that Spiritual Source?"

Mo Qianqian nodded.

"The Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source. Its bone-eroding attribute is yin, but a Spiritual Source, as a source of energy, is a yang object. It’s neither one thing nor the other. Because of this, I loathe it!" she said. "Hurry up and refine it.

"By the way, refine it with Spiritual Power. From now on, when you summon a Spirit Body using your abilities as a Spirit Master, it will possess the attribute power of the Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source. It will be highly effective for assassinations."

Hearing this, Mo Qianqian was startled. "Senior, you... you know I’m a Spirit Master?"

His identity as a Spirit Master should have been extremely well hidden. After discovering the Ninefold Coffin, he hadn’t used his Spirit Master abilities at all. Yet, not only did Li Haoran know, but the people inside this Ninefold Coffin also knew.

The mysterious woman fell speechless, as if a fool had just asked her a remarkably stupid question.

"With your strength being so weak, how could it not be detected?" she replied anyway.

Mo Qianqian felt deeply demoralized.

"The method to refine the Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source is very simple. Just absorb it directly into your body and circulate your Cultivation Technique to refine it. You should have a Spirit Master’s Cultivation Technique, right?" the mysterious woman continued.

"I do," Mo Qianqian nodded.

"Mhm, it seems this Ninefold Coffin indeed gave you that Spirit Master Technique," the mysterious woman said. "However, this Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source possesses a very pure corrosive attribute power, especially towards bones.

"The moment it touches a person’s bones, it will instantly corrode them completely, turning the person into a puddle of flesh.

"Since you are a Body Cultivator, if you gradually try to adapt to it, there is still a sliver of a chance to successfully refine it."

Hearing these words, Mo Qianqian’s expression turned grave. It seemed that refining this Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source would be quite dangerous. One careless mistake, and he could literally melt away. If all his bones were corroded, he would die on the spot.

However, the opportunity was right in front of him. He couldn’t possibly give it up just because of the danger.

"I will refine it," Mo Qianqian said, walking toward the Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source.

For some unknown reason, this Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source seemed to have lost its instinct to evade. Even as Mo Qianqian approached, it remained hovering motionless in the low air.

Mo Qianqian reached out a hand, attempting to touch it.

HISS!

An intense corrosive power seeped into his hand. His finger bones immediately felt a searing, agonizing pain.

Mo Qianqian rapidly circulated the Nine Nether Spirit Master Technique, bracing his Spirit. The pain immediately lessened significantly. He pulled his hand back and leaned closer, channeling his Spiritual Power to allow his body—specifically the right side of his chest—to come into contact with the Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source.

The corrosive power seeped through his clothes, then into his flesh, heading straight for his chest bones.

Even though he was circulating the Nine Nether Spirit Master Technique, the pain was excruciating. After holding on for just a short while, he backed away again. After resting for a good while, he tried touching it again. Repeating this process, he continuously increased his contact time.

After persisting like this for several days, Mo Qianqian finally adapted to the Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source and began to gradually absorb it into his body.

"AHHH!"

When the Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source was completely absorbed into his body, Mo Qianqian let out an agonized cry.

Thanks to his several days of adaptation, coupled with his formidable physique and the powerful Nine Nether Spirit Master Technique, absorbing the Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source didn’t cause severe corrosive damage to his flesh and bones.

However, the pain was unavoidable.

Enduring the agony, Mo Qianqian began to refine the Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source.

Meanwhile, in the Southern Wilderness, on the Yuling Sect’s Jade Spirit Peak.

Shi Muyao, who had been in secluded cultivation ever since returning from Qingcheng, finally emerged. Her cultivation base had broken through two realms in succession, advancing from the Spirit Vein Realm Sixth Layer to the Eighth Level of Spiritual Vein Realm.

At sixteen years old, reaching the Eighth Level of Spiritual Vein Realm made her a top-tier genius within the Yuling Sect.

Just as Shi Muyao was thinking that she wouldn’t be so helpless in the future and could finally be of some help to Mo Qianqian, she heard the latest news about him from a female disciple responsible for daily affairs.

"What? Qianqian already has the combat strength to fight against those at the eighth or ninth level of the Spirit Profound Realm? He killed numerous experts and even took the opportunity to lead powerhouses to wipe out the Cloud Void Sect and the Ling Family?" Shi Muyao felt dizzy with disbelief.

Mo Qianqian had led people to destroy the other two major factions of the Southern Wilderness? And now, those hunting him down included quite a few Tongyou Realm experts?

With her current cultivation, how could she possibly help him?

"I must break into the Spirit Profound Realm as soon as possible!" Shi Muyao gritted her teeth inwardly. The gap between her and Mo Qianqian was growing wider and wider.

"What about Elder Asura?" Shi Muyao suddenly worried about Asura.

"He hasn’t returned to the Yuling Sect. There is no news of Elder Asura," the female disciple answered.

"Yuling Sect! Hand over Mo Qianqian’s wife, Shi Muyao!"

Right at that moment, an elderly man’s majestic, booming shout echoed from the direction of the main peak. Shi Muyao’s expression shifted.

Just then, a figure flew over and landed in front of her. This person was none other than the Yuling Sect Master.

"Stay here in seclusion. Don’t go out!" With that said, the Yuling Sect Master immediately soared into the sky.

Meanwhile, on the Yuling Sect’s main peak.

A white-haired old man, accompanied by six other elders, stood atop the peak. He gazed indifferently at the continuously gathering members of the Yuling Sect. He paid absolutely no regard to those elders and disciples.

SWISH!

Soon, the Yuling Sect Master landed in front of the seven men.

"Sect Leader Yu, please hand over Shi Muyao."

As the white-haired old man spoke, an imposing aura billowed out from his body. A powerful coercion enveloped the entire mountain peak, even spreading to the surrounding areas. The other six men also unleashed their Tongyou Realm auras, waves of coercion surging outward.

The entire Yuling Sect main peak was instantly filled with a chilling murderous intent.

"Seven Tongyou Realm experts!"

The expressions of everyone in the Yuling Sect changed drastically. Seven Tongyou Realm experts! This was practically enough to wipe out the entire sect!

"Eighth Level of Tongyou Realm!"

Sensing the white-haired old man’s aura, the Yuling Sect Master’s eyes narrowed, his expression becoming extremely grave.

"Sect Leader Yu, I’ll ask one more time. Will your Yuling Sect hand her over or not?" the Ling Family’s Second Elder demanded again, his presence growing even more overwhelming.

"Hmph! You don’t have the ability to find Mo Qianqian yourselves, so you come to my Yuling Sect to use one of my disciples to threaten him?" the Yuling Sect Master retorted coldly.

"So you’re refusing?" The Ling Family’s Second Elder’s face darkened. He drew the longsword in his hand, preparing to strike.

The other six men drew their swords in unison.

"Get out of the Yuling Sect!"

However, right at that moment, an aged voice suddenly echoed from the depths of the Yuling Sect.
