Chapter 847: Chapter 391: The Secret Realm Opens, All Sides Arrive

Sea Abyss City.

With the conclusion of the Treasure Light Pavilion’s trade fair, some were joyful while others sighed. Often, it was due to a lack of treasures needed by the other party, resulting in treasures slipping by.

Of course, there were also some who sought rare treasures and met with disappointment this time, sighing helplessly.

There were also some cultivators who, simply due to their lack of wealth, were envious of the Core Formation cultivators, wondering why they were so affluent.

After leaving the Treasure Light Pavilion, no one knew what each had traded, yet everyone exchanged smiles and cupped hands.

Some even contacted each other secretly, possibly preparing for private transactions.

"Fellow Daoist, the Blazing Fire Essence Iron from your Blazing Fire Island is truly rare. How about we meet again?"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist is too polite, let’s go."

In groups of twos and threes, cultivators left to engage in private transactions. Lin Chang’an, along with the Sword Servant, secretly traded with a cloaked figure, heading towards a distant tavern.

Inside the tavern’s private room.

"Brother Lin."

As Yun Yao removed her cloak, revealing her true appearance, a smile spread across her face.

This time, however, Yun Yao’s face showed an unusual paleness. She seemed weak, yet a vibrant spirit shone through.

"Yun Yao, you are..."

Upon meeting, Lin Chang’an placed a hand to Yun Yao’s pulse, sensing the condition within her body.

The Profound Yin Divine Fire nurtured within her had grown significantly. Although it hadn’t actively turned on her, it still affected her.

Yet now, within Yun Yao’s body, surged a terrifying vitality.

"The Old Devil recently gave me a lot of Dragon Blood Essence. After consuming it, my vitality surged. This is preparation for the final moment, and the senior sisters have already been turned into fuel.

I watched as the Profound Yin Divine Fire devoured the senior sisters..."

With Yun Yao’s calm voice, she slowly recounted the tragic state of the Profound Yin Demon Sect.

The Profound Yin Divine Fire initially saw these so-called saintesses as mere fuel, prepared by the Old Devil for the final moment.

"The Old Devil has already acquired other cultivated Profound Yin Divine Fires. These are merely backups, waiting for me to merge with the remaining parts of the Profound Yin Divine Fire within the Secret Realm..."

It was impossible for these Nascent Soul-stage cultivators to stake everything on one person.

If Yun Yao did not encounter unexpected events, it would be ideal. If she did, the Old Devil had plans in place for the final moment.

"So it’s like this. Surely this Profound Yin Old Devil has made lucrative offers?"

"Yes, the Old Devil promised that if I helped him seize the treasure, he would help me possess a Core Formation cultivator with a spiritual body, allowing me to quickly recover my cultivation."

As Yun Yao spoke, a mocking smile appeared on her face.

"This Profound Yin Old Devil certainly has formidable methods."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an frowned deeply. A spiritual body, rare to see on usual days, seemed to be nothing special in the eyes of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Perhaps this is the gap between low-tier cultivators and high-tier cultivators.

"Concentrate, I’ll help you sort out your body’s condition, especially the Profound Yin Divine Fire..."

However, when Lin Chang’an probed deeply into her dantian, he sensed something, frowning involuntarily.

It wasn’t a bad thing; but within Yun Yao’s dantian, there seemed to be a force containing the Profound Yin Divine Fire.

This force wasn’t external; it seemed to originate from a source of power.

But this wasn’t there before.

As Lin Chang’an pondered, Yun Yao revealed the truth.

"This force within me seems to have emerged after Brother Lin you helped purify the Profound Yin Divine Fire, naturally building up over time."

"Hmm!?"

Lin Chang’an frowned, feeling this intangible force, a sensation somewhat similar to the energy from the ethereal stones he had traded earlier.

As he probed further, he discovered that this force arose from Yun Yao’s body and divine soul.

"This kind of power from the essence of the divine soul, could it be a precursor to the awakening of a spiritual body?"

For a Core Formation cultivator who has lived for centuries, their knowledge and foundation are unmatched by ordinary cultivators.

This type of hidden, unawakened spiritual body isn’t an uncommon occurrence in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

However, it’s akin to a mutated bloodline.

An awakening isn’t necessarily good, as many awakened spiritual bodies conflict with a cultivator’s body or even their Cultivation Technique.

For instance, a cultivator practicing a Yin Cold Technique awakening a Yang Attribute body, or a female awakening a male spiritual body.

Such situations mostly occur in cultivators who awaken later in life, whereas those born with an awakened spiritual body typically avoid these issues.

Yun Yao, having long discovered the anomaly in her body, shook her head dismissively:

"Brother Lin, given how far we’ve come in cultivation, regardless of the spiritual body, with its stringent awakening conditions.

Even with a highly renowned top-tier spiritual body in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it still couldn’t enable a Core Formation cultivator to challenge a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Currently, to her, the Profound Yin Old Devil is the true looming threat.

An awakening spiritual body, though on a positive note, is just icing on the cake and there’s no time now for a spiritual body awakening.

Noticing Yun Yao’s heavy heart, Lin Chang’an jestingly remarked:

"That may not necessarily be the case."

Under Yun Yao’s puzzled gaze, Lin Chang’an shook his head with a smile:

"According to records in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, I recall a formidable Demon Dao master being plotted against by his disciple, forcing him to switch to Ghost Dao, only to be counterattacked and defeated by a Core Formation cultivator."

Upon hearing Lin Chang’an’s words, Yun Yao couldn’t help but smile, knowing that Brother Lin was purposely comforting her.
