Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”You can’t possibly be out of options, can you?”

Yun Xiao’s eyes widened as he bluntly voiced his thoughts. This fellow was boastful and dismissive, just a silver-coated wax gun head, only capable of verbal sparring.

”Nonsense, the Immortal Poison Body, like the Pure Yang Immortal Body, is an Innate Body. How could I possibly control it with my strength still not fully recovered?”

Exposed by Yun Xiao’s words, the Golden Snake Worm became somewhat enraged and stopped pretending. Yun Xiao’s heart sank upon hearing this.

Although Yun Xiao and Liu Hanyi were not particularly close, he was a man of his word. Having promised something back in Xuanyue Palace, he would surely fulfill it.

Moreover, if it weren’t for Liu Hanyi later on, Yun Xiao might not have been able to return to the Royal Family, let alone retrieve his Dragon Taming Sword. From this perspective, he indeed owed Liu Hanyi a great favor.

But what Yun Xiao originally thought to be the Moon Eclipsed Body suddenly turned into the unheard Immortal Poison Body, rendering his previous experience as the Dragon Cloud Battle God useless.

The only one who knew the details of the Immortal Poison Body, the Golden Snake Worm, was unreliable. Now Yun Xiao was truly at a loss; it wasn’t about losing face, but he couldn’t bear to see Liu Hanyi in such agony.

”How hopeless you are. Have you forgotten how you helped control the Pure Yang Immortal Body for Mo Qing that girl?”

Seeing Yun Xiao’s downcast mood, the Golden Snake Worm spoke with a tone of tough love, which sparked a glimmer of hope in Yun Xiao as he suddenly looked up.

”Are you saying that I can, just like I cured Sister Mo Qing, control the outburst of the Immortal Poison Body?”

Yun Xiao murmured to himself, weighing his options. When Mo Qing’s Fire Poison from the Pure Yang Immortal Body erupted, he had used his Ancestral Vein Fire to suppress it and barely managed to keep it under control.

Could the same method be applied to this so-called Immortal Poison Body?

As he was wrestling with the idea, the Golden Snake Worm spoke again: ”You don’t really think the Nine Dragons Blood Jade... ah, the Blood Moon Jade you called it, possesses only a single Fire Attribute, do you?”

Seeing the stubborn ignorance of the youth, the Golden Snake Worm sarcastically remarked and then explained: ”The power of the Blood Moon Jade is beyond your imagination. It contains the attributes of all things in the world. Slightly controlling the outburst of this Immortal Poison Body, what’s the big deal?”

With the Golden Snake Worm’s explanation, although Yun Xiao still harbored many doubts, seeing Liu Hanyi clenching her teeth as if she could no longer hold on, he dared not delay.

”Sister Hanyi, forgive my intrusion!”

After a solemn shout, Liu Hanyi, in a dazed state, suddenly felt her right hand grasped by a burning hot palm, giving her an unusual sensation.

Luoyi Sect is composed entirely of female cultivators, and since birth, Liu Hanyi had only ever been in contact with women, never so intimately with a young man, thus even in a blurred state, she inevitably felt a bit peculiar.

However, the next moment, Liu Hanyi didn’t have much time to think, as she suddenly felt a fiery Qi entering her body from her palm, and the unbearable pain seemed relieved immediately.

”It really works!”

Liu Hanyi perceived it, and naturally, Yun Xiao sensed it too. He could feel an inexplicable powerful force slowly reviving within her body.

At the same time, the pale moonlight previously obscured by black curtains, as if drawn by some force, began seeping through and converging on Liu Hanyi’s body.

...

A night quickly passed!

Guarding outside the room, Jia Yi was quite anxious as she had no idea what was happening inside. She wondered if Yun Xiao could control the painful symptoms that afflicted Liu Hanyi every new and full moon?

Boom!

At that moment, a strong wave of energy burst forth from within the room, and Jia Yi, eyes sharpening, immediately sensed the Heaven and Earth Energy in the air being drawn towards the room.

”Is this...”

Sensing the source of this force, Jia Yi gasped in exhilaration because after so many years with Liu Hanyi, she couldn’t be more familiar with her Qi.

”Has she broken through?”

An incredulous thought rose in Jia Yi’s mind, and her face was filled with disbelief. She initially thought that Yun Xiao might at best just stabilize Liu Hanyi’s condition, but hadn’t expected such an unexpected joy.

In the past, every new and full moon, Liu Hanyi would suffer immensely, her nights dragging on like years. By morning, she would feel as if she had been severely ill, taking days to recover, let alone making a breakthrough during such times.

Now, sensing this breakthrough aura, Jia Yi was no longer doubtful. The youth, who seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen, whom she had regarded as clutching at straws, not only alleviated Liu Hanyi’s pain but also enabled her to make a breakthrough.

Originally, Liu Hanyi was already at the Mid Stage of the Meridian Union Realm. With this breakthrough, isn’t she on the verge of reaching the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm now? Jia Yi understood very well what this meant.

With such a breakthrough, even at the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, which would take place in half a year, Liu Hanyi might stun everyone and even possibly burst into the top ten, becoming one of the standout youths of the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Suppressing the constitution for Liu Hanyi had already consumed countless efforts of Jia Yi, and with the increase in Liu Hanyi’s strength, this suppression became increasingly difficult. The latter needed more resources and efforts to achieve a breakthrough.

Jia Yi did not know exactly how Yun Xiao managed to accomplish this feat, but she clearly understood that from today onwards, her beloved disciple, whom she regarded as her own daughter, would no longer endure endless pain. Instead, she may turn this misfortune into a blessing and soar into the heavens.

Creak!

Jia Yi was lost in her myriad thoughts when the door of the room suddenly opened, revealing an extremely pale young face – if not Yun Xiao, then who?

”Sect Leader Jia, I have fulfilled my duty!”

Despite the pallor and weakness on Yun Xiao’s face, his eyes contained a hint of excitement. Controlling Liu Hanyi’s Immortal Poison Body gave him a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

”Yun Xiao, no need for thanks. In the future, if there’s anything you need, as long as the Luoyi Sect can help, we will not refuse!”

Jia Yi, although a woman, was by no means orthodox. Such a great favor truly couldn’t be expressed with just one or two words of thanks. This promise was genuinely heartfelt.

”Sect Leader, you are too kind!”

Yun Xiao waved his hand, then remembered something and said, ”Sister Hanyi’s body is extraordinary. It might be best if she cultivates at night, in conjunction with the essence of moonlight, perhaps it could yield twice the result with half the effort!”

These words were not just imagined by Yun Xiao out of nowhere. Although he had never heard the term Immortal Poison Body before, such a constitution highly praised by the Golden Snake Worm was definitely extraordinary.

Since it is called a ”Poison Body,” it must contain intense poisons. If such poisons were to burst forth uncontrollably, it might affect an area of thousands of miles.

After a night’s effort, Yun Xiao also noticed some clues. Rather than saying his Blood Moon Jade controlled the Immortal Poison Body, it was more accurate to say the Moon Essence brought by the Blood Moon Jade played a significant role.

This also showed that the Moon Essence could not only control the Immortal Poison Body but also convert danger into nourishment after controlling it. In future cultivation, leveraging the Moon Essence could certainly yield twice the result with half the effort.

”Sister Hanyi, after her breakthrough, should wake up soon. I must take my leave now!”

Yun Xiao was extremely weak. After his battle with Yue Qi, he was brought here by Jia Yi, and had not rested all night. Now, he could fall asleep even while standing.

Watching that somewhat staggering figure walk away, Jia Yi for some reason felt a sense of admiration. Perhaps, before long, this figure would stand at the pinnacle of the entire Hidden Dragon Continent.

.....

A day passed quickly.

After a day’s rest, Yun Xiao finally recovered his Meridian Qi and energy. As he stepped out from his room, a red figure suddenly attacked, causing a heaviness on his shoulder.

”Chi Yan!”

Yun Xiao turned his head and smiled, but in the next moment, his eyes widened in shock and exclaimed, ”Your Demon Meridian Qi... how?”

”Squeak!”

Chi Yan seemed quite proud, flipping twice on Yun Xiao’s shoulder as if to respond to his surprised cry, and the breath of the Demon Meridian Qi could no longer be concealed – it was shockingly... Fifth Rank Low Level!

A Fifth Rank Vein Demon was already equivalent to a human Cultivator at the Meridian Union Realm level, and given that Vein Demons’ combat power typically far exceeds humans of the same rank, it is conceivable that even Yue Qi, if standing in front of Chi Yan, may not necessarily be his opponent.

But Yun Xiao clearly remembered that just a few days ago when he had returned to the Jade Pot Sect, wasn’t Chi Yan just at the Advanced Peak of Fourth Rank? How did it break through to the Fifth Rank in just a few days?

”You little rascal, did you go and steal something from the Miracle Pavilion again?”

Thinking of something, Yun Xiao’s face darkened. Initially, Chi Yan, due to its greed, almost got tricked by Yin Huan. If he hadn’t returned in time, it might have faced a fatal disaster.

Could it be that this creature couldn’t change its nature, saw something appealing in the Inner Sect of the Jade Pot Sect, and stole and ate it resulting in the breakthrough? If that’s the case, Yun Xiao would really feel frustrated.

”Squeak!”

Seeing Yun Xiao looking angry, Chi Yan shook its front paws frantically, as if denying it, but with a prior precedent, how could Yun Xiao believe it? He was thinking about how to reprimand this creature.

”Alright, don’t blame Chi Yan. I gave it a ’Flame Spirit Fruit’, which caused it to break through overnight!”

While Yun Xiao was deep in thought, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. Turning his head, it was his teacher, the Sect Master of Jade Pot Sect.
