Chapter 54 He only became my grandfather because he wanted my body.
"My God, I think I've stumbled into the underworld," Xu Changqing muttered to himself, looking around.
In the original body's memories, the underworld of this world was not the netherworld in the traditional sense, the place where the dead go and where reincarnation takes place.
The Way of Heaven is flawed, and the cycle of reincarnation is disordered. The true Netherworld has long been lost and its whereabouts are unknown.
The so-called Yin World mentioned by cultivators is the Yin side of the world, a vast realm formed by the interweaving and sedimentation of endless Yin energy, remnant souls' obsessions, and various negative laws. It is chaotic and dangerous, yet it contains unique laws and resources.
Countless ghosts and spirits dwell here, and evil sects that cultivate Yin-attribute techniques have taken root here, vying for Yin veins, forging Yin weapons, building ghost cities, and constantly waging war against each other, yet no one has ever been able to truly unify this vast Yin land.
Not far ahead, a faint, eerie blue halo floated quietly; it was Su'e's soul.
Her eyes were tightly closed, curled up like an infant, her body enveloped in a dense, grayish-white yin energy. This yin energy was gradually merging into her soul, making her aura stronger, but also making the outline of her soul increasingly blurred, as if she were about to become one with this gray world.
Su'e was terrified. The surroundings were cold and desolate; she felt like a withered leaf falling into stagnant water, lost and directionless as she tried to find her way home. The chilling energy pierced her like needles, and her consciousness gradually faded.
Until a familiar divine sense appeared—it was her master. In an instant, Su'e's tense mind relaxed, and the overwhelming fear suddenly receded.
Just like when she faced the ghost marriage before, although she pretended to be calm, she felt anxious and helpless until Xu Changqing stood in front of her, and all the gloom seemed to be broken.
Su'e's soul trembled slightly, uttering a muffled murmur: "Master..."
The pale blue soul light gently shifted, following the divine sense and wrapping around it, refusing to let go, like vines clinging to an ancient tree, or fledglings returning to their nests to warm their wings.
......
Xu Changqing, unaware of Su'e's thoughts, was racking his brains, pondering which cultivation technique to pass on to her. The Yin talent thrived here, but without proper guidance, this overwhelming Yin energy would be a deadly poison. He did possess several Yin-attribute cultivation techniques, but their quality was low.
Just then, the Deceptive Altar suddenly trembled slightly deep within the sea of consciousness.
A message came through, roughly saying, "Little brother, offer yourself to me, and I'll give you a discount and let you ship in bulk."
Xu Changqing's mind raced: "Old Ghost, you really don't do things without a reason. Tell me the truth, aren't you that ancient ghost who came to be my personal old man because he wanted my body?"
The altar did not respond.
He remained calm, but as he subtly peered toward the altar, a slight chill ran through him.
The altar was silently absorbing the surrounding yin energy, its surface emitting a ghostly glow, like a living being breathing. Even more eerie, numerous hazy, wispy wisps of energy seeped from the void, their origin and source indistinguishable, being drawn into the altar's core, as if the altar were sipping something far deeper than the yin energy. As the ghostly light shifted, the entire altar seemed both slightly satiated and eternally insatiable.
Old Gui did not respond, and Xu Changqing had no choice but to take out the several cultivation manuals he had previously acquired and place them all in front of the altar.
"Old ghost, bring me a Taiyin Orthodox Method that will allow her to thrive here."
The altar's patterns suddenly accelerated their rotation, emitting a ghostly light that swept away all the scriptures. A moment later, three faint lights emerged from the center of the altar, transforming into three illusory scriptures that hovered before Xu Changqing's divine sense.
The first book has a deep purple-black cover with patterns resembling the veins of a mother's womb, and is titled "The Nine Netherworld Mysterious Mother's Yin-Nourishing Classic".
[Brief Description]: The Fundamental Scripture of the Ancient Yin Mother Path. It reveres Yin as the mother, using the body as a nest to nurture all Yin. Those who cultivate this scripture can absorb the Yin energy of the netherworld for their own use, nourishing their spirit and body, refining the Mysterious Female Body. Upon completion, the body transforms into the Nine Netherworld Mysterious Mother, ruling over a Yin domain and nurturing Yin-related beings.
【Taboo Price】: First, those who practice this scripture will have their maternal instincts strengthened as their cultivation deepens. They will see all things as offspring, have a strong urge to conceive, and their nature will easily become compassionate and tolerant.
Second, one must regularly nourish offspring with one's own Yin essence to maintain the vitality of the Xuanpin (mysterious female). If one does not conceive or nourish offspring for a long time, the Yin essence will stagnate and one's cultivation will regress.
Third, if one's body is in harmony with the Yin Mother's Daoist rhythm, one is easily affected by the karma of "offspring." If the Yin creatures one raises commit serious sins, some of the karma will be reflected back to oneself.
The cover of the second book is like moonlight condensed into frost, clear and pure, with a palace silhouette on it, and it is called "The Scripture of the Primordial Sovereign of the Moon's Patrol".
[Brief Description]: The Great Scripture of the Moon Palace was created by the Moon Goddess during her travels through the heavens. Her body merged with the Moon, her steps treading the void, and her spirit roaming the netherworld. She gathered the essence of the Moon to refine her form and cleanse her soul, thus forging the physical body of the Moon.
Once the Dharma body is formed, it can transform into moonlight, its form constantly shifting and dispersing, unafraid of ordinary yang fire and evil spirits, and able to use the changing phases of the moon to perform various wondrous spells. It can also use yin energy as a boat and its spirit as a lamp to patrol the underworld, discerning the hidden paths, and can use the power of the underworld to traverse between reality and illusion, and can also command yin spirits and fierce souls for its own use.
[Taboo Cost]: 1. The body is closely related to the phases of the moon, and one must constantly contemplate the moon to maintain one's divine will.
Second, when wandering in the underworld, one's spirit is easily corrupted by the laws of the underworld. One needs to be tempered regularly with pure yang substances or the fire of the heart to maintain the clarity of one's nature. Otherwise, one may get lost in the endless dark path and become a "moon shadow" that only knows how to wander.
three,......
The third book, with a gray-black cover and a texture like dark stone, exudes a calm and deathly aura—"The Mysterious and Silent Meeting Method of the Underworld".
[Brief Description]: The Netherworld Sect's secret teachings pursue the ultimate in yin stillness and emptiness. They transform yin energy into profound, silent power, eroding the vitality of all things and freezing the fluctuations of the soul. Upon reaching a high level of cultivation, one can transform into the Netherworld, extinguishing all life within its radius and plunging everything into utter silence. They are also adept at stealth and concealment, escaping into the Netherworld with ease.
[Taboo Price]: First, the cultivation process requires constantly absorbing the energy of death and solitude, which will gradually lead to a cold and lonely disposition, detached emotions, and a view of all living beings as mere passersby.
Second, the power of profound silence erodes one's body. Special methods or treasures are needed to maintain the vitality of the physical body so that it does not completely wither away. Otherwise, although one may gain immortality, one will become a withered skeleton and a corpse.
Third, this method is naturally incompatible with things that are full of vitality. Long-term contact will damage their original nature and will also attract the hostility of living beings.
Three roads, three paths.
Xu Changqing glanced at them, and a plan had already been made in his mind.
Although the "Nine Netherworld Mysterious Mother Nurturing Yin Scripture" has great potential, the cost of gestation and nurturing may not be in line with Su'e's temperament, and it is too far away to help her in her immediate predicament.
The "Netherworld Profound Silence Method" excels in both killing and concealment, but the price is ruthless and goes against his true nature.
Only the "Taiyin Xuntian Yuanjun Jing" is noble and lofty, and its essence is in harmony with Taiyin, which perfectly complements Su'e's talent. Its ability to travel to the underworld can solve the current predicament. Although the cost needs to be noted, it is relatively controllable.
"It's you."
With a thought, he chose the "Taiyin Xuntian Yuanjun Scripture".
One scroll of eerie light appeared on the altar, while the other two illusory images vanished. The chosen lunar scripture transformed into a cool, clear stream of light, merging into Xu Changqing's consciousness.
Xu Changqing's consciousness, carrying the clear light created by the scriptures, slowly drifted towards Su'e's dark blue soul light.
"Su'e, calm your mind and focus your spirit, and follow my guidance."
Su'e's soul trembled slightly, and she relaxed as instructed, allowing the cool and vast scripture information to flow into her soul like moonlight.
The profound meaning of the "Taiyin Xuntian Yuanjun Scripture" unfolded in her heart. She visualized the image of Taiyin Xingjun, absorbed the yin energy of the moon, and refined the yin energy into Taiyin power through a specific cycle of circulation, thus forging the foundation of the Taiyin Dharma Body. Although the scripture was profound, at this moment, Su'e was in the Yin world, her body was full of pure yin energy, and she was also blessed by Taiyin's talent. It was as natural as water flowing into a channel, without any hindrance.
As her curled-up soul gradually unfolded, the grayish-white yin energy around her no longer surged in disorderly, but instead formed tiny vortexes with her subconscious breathing, being absorbed and refined in an orderly manner.
The color of the soul light gradually changed from a deep blue to a clearer, moonlit white, and its outline became clearer and more solid, even faintly revealing the girl's slender figure.
