Demon Sword Sect’s Undercover
Chapter 452 - 452 451 Yubi Mountain Villa 1

452: Chapter 451 Yubi Mountain Villa 1 452: Chapter 451 Yubi Mountain Villa 1 Zhao Xintong was led to a pavilion, unlike the autumn scenery filled with red leaves at the Daoist Sect, here the garden was filled with drifting yellow leaves, showing a desolate air.

Since being taken away by the rhinoceros bird, she had not resisted at all, for she knew resistance was futile.

With the gap in their Realms, using one’s mind was more important than using one’s hands.

In the pavilion, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the white clouds, like a statue.

He was Yu Wuwei, the current head of the Yu family, a cultivator of the Natural Realm, and one of the top existences within the three Tongtian Realms.

In the Yu family, there were four cultivators in the Tongtian Realm, which for a family was impressive; moving upward, there was also a Golden Core elder ancestor.

It was this strength that allowed them, to some extent, to form cooperative relations with great Sects like the Taihao Sect.

They were only lacking one Nascent Transformation great cultivator from becoming a top Cultivation Family.

After a long time, Yu Wuwei finally spoke softly, “Having you come here might not be good news for you, but for the Yu Family, it is a necessity; this is the Cultivation World, strength is supreme, hence, you should have no grievances.”

Zhao Xintong spoke softly, “You mean, instead of holding grudges, I should be grateful?”

Yu Wuwei gave a slight smile, “I can understand that you harbor resentment; but if you listen to the twists and turns of the situation here and understand that what you will face might not necessarily be a plight, and could even be an opportunity in a sense, will you still feel such resentment?”

Zhao Xintong was calm.

Since the upheaval twenty years ago, nothing had truly affected her.

“I would like to hear the details.”

Yu Wuwei looked at her appreciatively, “Bu Zuo has good judgment; you possess a grand and dignified spirit, unperturbed by honor or disgrace, making you extremely suited to cultivate Divination.

If you could form a Daoist couple with Bu Zuo, in the future you would become the principal matron of the Yu family, with the power to freely control the family’s resources, and achieving Tongxuan would be within easy reach.

How does such a future sound?”

Zhao Xintong, “I want to know the truth, exactly why did you choose me?

Otherwise, all you will have is a walking corpse, and at any given moment, I might act against your interests.”

Yu Wuwei looked at her intently, then after a while, nodded, “Alright, I will satisfy your demands, because we need your cooperation.

Follow me.”

Yu Wuwei led the way, followed by Yu Buzuo and Zhao Xintong; they entered an inconspicuous wooden house with a deep well inside; only when they descended did Zhao Xintong realize there was no water in the well, but instead, a bone-chilling cold pierced straight through to her heart.

This was a well that led to an underground chamber of cold air, growing wider as they went down, the spiral corridor was lined with countless glowing pearls that shone gently, revealing every tiny detail.

They continued downwards for a hundred meters, until even when Zhao Xintong mustered her full Spiritual Power, she could barely withstand the penetrating cold, and finally, they arrived in a huge underground space, with an Ice Pond appearing before them.

There was also a bare-chested man in the Ice Pond, his eyes closed, his life or death unknown.

They stopped at a certain distance from the Ice Pond, and Yu Wuwei no longer hid things, as he truly needed this woman’s wholehearted agreement; if that was impossible, they would have to settle for less, but a collaborator with different intentions would cause too many problems.

“Yu Shangque, the Golden Core old ancestor of the Yu family, has had his Golden Core for over three hundred years and is the stabilizer of the Yu family.

Originally, the old ancestor was just a step away from Nascent Transformation, but because he faced divine retribution while practicing prophecy, that step resulted in eternal torment by the Heavenly Thunder, suffering unbearable pain, and thus he could only spend his days submerged in the Ice Pond to barely sustain himself.

The old ancestor is everything to the Yu family; without him, the myriad of debts of gratitude and vengeance accumulated over the years would come knocking, hence, we must help the old ancestor through this ordeal at all costs.

“If successful in ascending to the Nascent Transformation Realm, that would paint a very different picture.

The Yu Family would then have a place on the Jinxiu Continent.”

Yu Wuwei took a deep breath, “Originating from a prophecy, our only option is to find a solution within the prophecy.

After many years of contemplation, the elder has finally devised a method to counter the Heavenly Thunder’s punishment, which is to find a person with a Tongmian Taoist Body to switch bodies for cultivation.”

Looking at Zhao Xintong, “If I’m not mistaken, you are the top grade of the Qingming Body within the Tongmian Taoist Body, right?

Exactly what my ancestor needs.”

The method is not complex.

My ancestor will perform secret techniques with Bu Zuo, and then Bu Zuo will form a Daoist couple with you.

The offspring born will certainly possess the Qingming Body, which is my ancestor changing bodies.”

“In this way, we can completely free ourselves from the doom of the Heavenly Thunder, and also possess the supreme Taoist Body of a prophet.

The future accomplishments are beyond question.”

You don’t need to do much, just give birth to the offspring, which is tantamount to completing the task.

It’s a simple task that any mortal can accomplish, so it shouldn’t be difficult for you.”

He began to outline the prospects, “Your sacrifice is minimal, yet you gain a lot; as both the wife of Bu Zuo and the mother of my ancestor, who in the Yu Family could ever shake your status?

Even Bu Zuo himself wouldn’t dare to entertain any contrary thoughts his entire life, and all the clan’s resources would be at your disposal, including me.

Just think, in the vastness of the Continent, is there anything you cannot do?”

Zhao Xintong was as calm as ever, “The reputation of the Yu Family is indeed well deserved; then I would like to know, am I marrying Bu Zuo, or the ancestor of the Yu Family?”

Yu Wuwei chuckled lightly, “Does it really matter?

The same bloodline, the same…

If you must be specific, then it’s forming a Daoist couple with Bu Zuo, unrelated to others.”

Zhao Xintong’s face showed disgust, looking at Yu Buzuo, “Your name is misgiven, it shouldn’t be Yu Buzuo, it should be Yu Shameless!”

Yu Buzuo looked slightly embarrassed.

Morally speaking, this was indeed somewhat incestuous; but looking at the outcome, it held infinite temptations.

The Yu Family was a great family, with four cultivators in the Tongtian Realm, and not to mention numerous lesser cultivators; there were hundreds.

How to stand out among these competitors?

Cultivation relied on potential and luck, and even though outstanding now, he could not guarantee to be the foremost among all descendants of the Yu Family in the future.

Who could assure his entire life?

But if he were the father of the Nascent Transformation, then he’d be worry-free for life!

Even if he wasn’t the one truly uniting, so what?

A true man never worries about lacking wives; once his realm rises, wouldn’t beauties be easily within reach?

Thus, he pursued Zhao Xintong for years, not because he fancied an ice queen, but because the Yu Family needed this Qingming Body for the cauldron!

When birthing life, the maternal body is crucial!

Persevering for years, he hoped he could naturally secure this woman, but Zhao Xintong’s special body made her extremely sensitive in this regard.

Numerous methods had been tried and failed, and now the ancestor could wait no longer.

Considering that if Zhao Xintong returned to the Anhe Daoist Sect, the chance would become slim, he must secure her in these last three months.

If a gentle approach won’t work, then force is necessary.

As a cauldron, being passive might affect it, but its fundamental function remains intact, certainly better than a wasted effort!
