Chapter 1140: Chapter 748: Daoist Mysteries and Immortal Anomalies

Uncontrolled memories surfaced from the past.

Those nights of fervent entanglement, the hurried breaths, the burning warmth of the body, and the shuddering control filled with power...

Wan Meng suddenly felt her cheeks grow warm.

A clear and daring thought quietly crept into her heart.

If the opportunity arose, to see him once more.

If it were possible, to relive old dreams.

However, this matter requires the Master’s permission first.

Given her current standards, there were few men that could catch her eye.

That heartless one clearly didn’t hold her in his heart.

All these years passed, and he never contacted her.

Oh, how difficult this is for me!

Wan Meng thought faintly in her heart.

...

On the Yaohua Peak, deep within the Cave Mansion.

The surface of the pool rippled slightly, reflecting the serene profile of Bai Yaohua.

With a flick of her fingertip, she tossed the last piece of bait into the water, causing several dark purple demon fish to leap up competing.

"Mingyu, what do you think?"

The Demon Lord Mingyu stood by her side, hands lowered, trembling slightly at the words: "Master refers to Wan Meng? That child was brought up by me, lively in thought, yet would not dare to deceive Master in the slightest."

"I’m not asking about her."

Bai Yaohua turned around, her gaze landing on the face of the Demon Lord Mingyu.

"I’m asking how you view Shen Xuan."

The Demon Lord Mingyu was silent for a while and sighed softly.

"In those days, when I traded the Other Shore Demon Flower with him, I never expected that he would truly cultivate this skill."

Her voice carried a touch of sentiment.

"This skill hurts the enemy a thousand-fold, while costing oneself several thousand! At the price of several times the lifespan, one achieves a mutually destructive outcome..."

"Anyone with clarity on the path of Dao would see this skill as superfluous, not worthy of deliberate cultivation. It would not be used unless in life-and-death situations."

Previously, she had thoroughly informed Bai Yaohua about her dealings with Shen Xuan.

However, in her version, there were none of those romantic encounters with Wan Meng.

Only transactions of demon materials, exchanges of information, business deals, clear as a ledger.

She naturally also admitted the transaction of the Sect Secret Technique, the Other Shore Demon Flower.

At that time, the Master’s face had not looked pleased.

True Master Profound Ice excelled in the Other Shore Demon Flower, using this skill to kill Wan Hai Demon Monarch.

This matter caused the other Demon Monarchs of Liang Country to grow suspicious of the Hehuan Sect.

However, what was done was done.

The Demon Lord Mingyu was a key Nascent Soul Seed nurtured by Hehuan Sect and also a direct disciple.

Bai Yaohua did not reprimand her.

At this moment, she pondered for a long time and slowly said, "Relying on the Other Shore Demon Flower alone, it’s not something to be concerned about."

She walked slowly to the jade table at the side: "The frightening part is that this person merges the Ice and Fire Dual Golden Core, condensing the Tai Chi Primordial Golden Core."

The Demon Lord Mingyu asked, "The lifespan in the Golden Core Realm is ultimately limited, so why is he willing to pay such a price, determined to put Wan Hai to death?"

Bai Yaohua pondered and said, "It is most likely to display martial strength, to warn us not to push him too far. After all, he is a wanted criminal by the Golden Spirit Race."

"Master, since he has cultivated his body to the Divine Power Realm, is it to seek longevity?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Bai Yaohua’s tone was firm and decisive.

"In the countries of Jin, Zhao, and Qin, body cultivation is prevalent, but nine out of ten who step into the Divine Power Realm are Nascent Soul cultivators who practice it concurrently, with only a few others having reached the Golden Core Late Stage. Specializing in body cultivation not only fails to extend lifespan but often reduces lifespan due to the excessive exploitation of the body’s potential."

Bai Yaohua lifted her eyes, her expression exceptionally grave.

"I have cultivated for a millennium and have never seen anyone able to specialize in body cultivation and reach the Divine Power Realm. The Dharma Realm is the upper limit for body cultivation."

The Demon Lord Mingyu remained silent.

Shen Xuan’s current existence of reversing the slaying of Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs made his Daoist techniques profound, beyond her understanding.

Suddenly, she remembered something, and her expression turned strange. She spoke in a low voice, "Master, for many years, this person has been seeking various High Tier demon beast inner core essence blood at a high price, especially those with water and fire attributes. Although these materials are the main ingredients for alchemy and talisman making, the sheer amount and variety he seeks far exceed normal demand. Is he hiding some unknown Secret Technique to draw abnormal power from them?"

Bai Yaohua heard this and smiled lightly.

The smile was shallow and did not reach her eyes.

"This Shen Xuan, his roots are elusive and hard to discern."

"Your Martial Uncle used the Sect Secret Technique to deduce his destiny, and the result was like neither Dao nor demon, a piece of chaos."

She looked up at the Demon Lord Mingyu.

"In the future, you should have less to do with him if you can avoid him."

"Disciple understands."

The Demon Lord Mingyu responded respectfully, yet hesitated to ask, "But regarding Wan Meng, that child..."

"Let her be."

Bai Yaohua waved her hand, her tone indifferent: "Karmic ties and industry fruit, each bears their own destiny."

The Demon Lord Mingyu wanted to speak but hesitated, hesitated for a moment, finally stepping forward half a step, her voice lowered further.

"Master, lately this disciple’s cultivation insights have deepened, the Nascent Soul bottleneck shows signs of loosening, and the Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Objects are also complete. However, the sect merits are insufficient to exchange for a Demon Infant Pill."

Bai Yaohua nodded: "No problem. You just focus on cultivating with a calm mind, honing the Dao Heart. When the breakthrough comes, I will personally protect you."

"As for the Demon Infant Pill, with me here, there’s no need to worry. I’ve prepared it for you."

The Demon Lord Mingyu trembled all over, eyes suddenly bursting with uncontrollable excitement, solemnly bowed, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily.

"Disciple bows in gratitude for Master’s great kindness! This life is willing to die for Master!"

"Go."

Bai Yaohua nodded slightly, saying no more.

The Demon Lord Mingyu kowtowed several more times before rising and quietly leaving the Cave Mansion.

Outside the corridor, the sunlight fell on the ground, elongating her shadow.

She glanced back at the mist-enshrouded Yaohua Peak, took a deep breath, and transformed into an Escape Light, flying away.

...

Inside the Cave Mansion, Bai Yaohua stood alone by the pool.

The water’s surface reflected her exquisite beauty and a hint of complex emotions in her eyes.
