Chapter 137: Chapter 94: A Woman in Her Thirties is Like a Wolf, Forties Like a Tiger (6k)_3

Zhou Qing nodded and, under the watchful eyes of the three, entered the Gravity Zone with a demeanor likened to a heroic warrior embarking on a journey from which there was no return.

"This time, I got lucky?"

Upon entering, Zhou Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that no Wandering Souls appeared this time.

He had been looking forward to a good fight.

"Guess I won’t hold back then!" Zhou Qing began to advance bit by bit against the pressure.

Sweating profusely as he passed through the Gravity Zone, he noticed that the stone mill was indeed long gone.

After moving a certain distance, he came across the reopened tunnel.

Shaking his head, he traversed the passageway skillfully.

Seeing the familiar sight before him, he let out a long sigh of relief, then swiftly jumped into the Blood River, grabbing three Dead Crows to place on his shoulders and head. After securing them, he endured the stench of rot and swiftly swam to the riverbank.

Leaping ashore, he grabbed the scroll from within the green mist and swiftly retraced his steps, successfully returning just as the gigantic Corpse Wax Crow emerged.

Although the process was smooth and he had simulated it several times before, Zhou Qing’s heart still raced with tension upon truly obtaining the scroll.

He quickly threw the three crows into the river, then used his Spiritual Power to eradicate the stench from his body and changed into new clothes.

After ensuring the smell was not too strong, he retraced his steps to close the Gravity Zone and ran out in a panic.

"Supreme Elder, something terrible has happened! Someone’s raided us..."

...

Returned home, Zhou Qing waited until deep into the night to ensure everything was normal before sneakily taking out the green scroll.

The scroll had a profound appearance, with intricate patterns outlined by gold threads along the edges, feeling delicate and slightly cool to the touch.

At this moment, it further resonated inexplicably with the Yin Yang Dual Pill within his body.

Filled with immense anticipation, Zhou Qing wondered what it might contain.

For safety, he first performed his Daily Reflection.

[Nameless Scroll: This scroll contains a cultivation heart method specifically designed for the number one Yin Yang Qi among the Heavenly Dao Qi. Its utilization, absorption, refinement, recovery, and allocation of spiritual power to various cultivation techniques are perfectly balanced.]

Seeing the feedback, Zhou Qing was left dumbstruck, followed by immense joy.

"This is a cultivation heart method!"

It’s worth noting that he was currently cultivating the Taiqing Sect’s best Taiqing Profound Qi Skills, which only True Inheritors and core members could practice. In contrast, the inner and outer sect members practiced less advanced techniques.

Zhou Qing’s fingers trembled slightly as he gently spread out the scroll.

Instantly, a dazzling light burst forth, accompanied by an ancient aura.

Among the light, the three ancient characters "Yin Yang Skills" first came into view. The characters were vigorous and powerful, with strokes seemingly coursing with Yin Yang Qi, emanating an enigmatic aura.

Following the characters "Yin Yang Skills," other words began to appear one by one, like stars twinkling in the sky.

These words were ancient and obscure, as if precipitated from an endless river of time, each character glowing with a mysterious light.

Before Zhou Qing could clearly see them, an aged voice suddenly resounded in his mind, like a grand, resonant bell.

"I am Elder Zhongli, having unexpectedly passed through this place and discovered this strand of nascent Yin Yang Qi. An old friend relied on such Heavenly Dao Qi to rise but perished on the Starry Battlefield saving me."

"Seeing it brought back memories. I concealed and hid it, leaving behind the Yin Yang Skills he created for future generations. If fated, we shall meet on the Starry Battlefield. Of course, if I’m still alive by then."

This voice seemed to travel through endless time, carrying the weight of years, filled with deep expectations and regret.

"Elder Zhongli? Starry Battlefield?"

At last, Zhou Qing understood why the scroll would appear in such a place. After all, Heavenly Dao Qi is an Innate Spirit, and how could there be a matching heart method? So that’s the reason.

"Thank you, elder!"

Zhou Qing bowed gratefully.

A strand of Heavenly Dao Qi takes an incredibly long time to grow. Though unaware of the Starry Battlefield’s location or purpose, it seemed Elder Zhongli had long perished in the river of time.

He immediately started cultivating word by word...

As the dawn broke, gentle rays of light quietly pierced the darkness like delicate veils, spreading over the endless peaks.

Inside the room, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged, surrounded not by the cyan airflow from the Taiqing Profound Qi Skills but by the more substantial Yin Yang Qi.

The two Qis intertwined, forming a peculiar Qi field that enveloped Zhou Qing.

Unsure of how much time had passed, he gradually opened his eyes, filled with delight.

"Just one night’s cultivation, and the progress is so rapid. The Taiqing Profound Qi Skills are like a younger brother in comparison!"

Zhou Qing could hardly contain his joy.

With a thought, he opened his personal panel.

[Name: Zhou Qing]

[Age: Nineteen]

[Cultivation: Golden Core Realm Early Stage]

[Heart Method: Yin Yang Skills]

[Talent Skills: Daily Reflection,

Heart Mirror Vision——LV3 (214/300),

Lowering Presence——LV3 (41/100)]

[Skill Fragments: 1/3 (Not Obtainable)]

The Talent Skill [Heart Mirror Vision] has been steadily increasing recently, and it won’t be long before it reaches level four, binding more people.

It’s just that the Ignore Points are hard to brush, mainly because there are too few opportunities. To get new Skill Fragments, I’ll have to rely on this aspect.

But overall, Zhou Qing is still very satisfied with the progress. At least everything is developing in a good direction.

Not to mention anything else, just the mid-grade Spirit Stones have now become thirty-eight pieces again, which is completely enough for cultivation or entering the [Divine Ruins Celestial Palace].

"Now with these "Yin Yang Skills", perhaps I can attempt a breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm in a short time!"

Zhou Qing looked at the Spirit Stones in his hand, his eyes shining brightly.

Then, after a brief rest, he began the cultivation state again.

...

"Dad, where are you? Don’t leave me, Yaoyao is so scared."

"Did you lead those chasing us away again? Who exactly is pursuing us?"

"Yaoyao promises you, I will lay a solid foundation first and not rush into cultivation, please come back soon, Dad."

"What is this, Yaoyao feels so dizzy."

"Ah——"

Suddenly, Lu Yaoyao jolted up from the bed, her chest heaving violently, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, with a few strands of hair sticking to her cheeks due to the sweat.

She instinctively hugged her arms tightly. Only after her emotions stabilized did she slowly get up, walk to the window, and push it open, letting the morning sunlight and breeze caress her face.

At this moment, her eyes were full of fear and confusion.

"Which is the real one, the dream or reality? If I had listened to you and started cultivating earlier, it would’ve been fine, but now I’ve unexpectedly come here. It’s not too late though, with the Heavenly Dao Qi given by Master and you by my side, I’ll see what really happened!"

Lu Yaoyao’s unease gradually turned into determination.

...

Golden Sun Peak!

In a dimly lit room, Peak Master Gao Xuan sat quietly at a table, holding a soft cloth, carefully wiping a Spiritual Tablet.

His eyes were full of sorrow and longing.

"We can start now!" a voice came from the darkness.

Gao Xuan slowly stood up and carefully placed the Spiritual Tablet down.

"Don’t worry, Nannan, none of them will escape!" Gao Xuan looked at the Spiritual Tablet, his eyes suddenly bursting with a cold killing intent.

A sigh came, and a shadow in the corner spoke again: "Do you need my help?"

Gao Xuan shook his head and said: "No, I’ll handle my affairs myself."

After speaking, he left straight away, heading directly to Yuqing Peak...

Yuqing Peak!

"Greetings, Master Gao, are you here to see Master?" When Shi Zhen saw Gao Xuan, he hurriedly greeted him.

Gao Xuan smiled and nodded, saying: "Is she here?"

"Master is currently in Zichen Hall," Shi Zhen replied.

Gao Xuan said no more and headed straight to the top of the peak as if familiar with the way.

Soon after, she met with Yuqing Peak Master Tong Min.

"Senior Brother Gao, why are you here so early in the morning?" Tong Min awoke from meditating, smiling as she stood up.

Gao Xuan said: "I came this time to borrow something from you, Junior Sister."

"Oh, what is it that you have to come personally? If you had sent me a message, I would have sent someone to deliver it to you," Tong Min said curiously.

Gao Xuan shook his head and said: "This thing can’t be delivered; I have to fetch it personally."

"What exactly is it?" Tong Min asked more curiously.

Gao Xuan looked at her, the corners of his mouth suddenly raising into a strange smile.
