Chapter 292: All for the Sake of Cultivation!

As the words fell, Yun Miaozhen’s face was filled with determination.

She was the Heaven’s Chosen Daughter of the Yun Family, and having received the teachings of Perfected One Xiu Xin, she cultivated the Ice Heart Ruthless Sword Art, forging a ruthless Sword Heart.

This technique emphasized Supreme Ruthlessness, with a heart like ice.

To master this art, I must have the great resolve of Supreme Ruthlessness. Family, love, friendship—they are all obstacles to my drawing the sword.

If I cannot even cut off the affection for my own sister…

How can I speak of ruthlessness?

The more Yun Miaozhen thought about it, the more she felt that if she didn’t do this, she wouldn’t be achieving Supreme Ruthlessness. Far from cultivating, it would actually hinder her Dao Heart!

Seeing her so resolute, Perfected One Xiu Xin nodded with satisfaction. This Perfected One’s features were equally exquisite, her expression mirroring Yun Miaozhen’s coldness. However, she possessed an added air of dignity and maturity, like a snow mountain that never melts—approachable only from a distance, never to be profaned.

“As expected of my disciple.”

“Since that is the case, I will act for you. I will bind and divide the destinies of you two sisters. The fortune will belong to you, and the calamity to her. This will fulfill your sisterly bond.”

“Many thanks, Master.”

Yun Miaozhen bowed again, slightly excited in her heart. With her master taking action, she could transfer all the calamities in her fate to her sister while enjoying the fortune alone.

Her cultivation hereafter would surely advance by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, this was also a good thing for her sister Yun Miaoqing. After all, her fortune wasn’t enough; she didn’t have a good background or past life like herself.

Once Miaoqing enters the Demonic Sect and bears the disasters for me, if she can return in the future, my cultivation will surely be successful by then. I can compensate her for ten years of suffering. This is the karma of bitterness ending and sweetness beginning. Even if she lacks a background from a past life, I will help her secure a future in cultivation.

Even if she dies in the Demonic Sect, it’s just a matter of reincarnating once.

By then, I should have reached Foundation Establishment. I can go and guide her. As the sister of a Foundation Establishment Perfected One, she will truly have a background then.

Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?

Although Miaoqing might not understand, that is because her cultivation is insufficient and her Dao Heart is not firm. As her elder sister, it is only right that I plan her future for her.

Thinking of this, Yun Miaozhen became even more indifferent.

This was the Sword Pavilion. Without a background, it was hard to move a single inch. After all, she was the one with the Foundation Establishment Master. This was the fortune she was born with.

If Miaoqing had fortune, she could go find a backer too.

“By the way, Master.”

Thinking of this, Yun Miaozhen continued, “Miaoqing obtained a Spirit Sword Embryo in the villa this time. I ask Master to retrieve it for me later.”

“After all, Miaoqing will be heading to the Demonic Sect soon. It’s not good for her to carry such a superior sword embryo. If it falls into the hands of those demons, wouldn’t it just fuel their arrogance? It would be better for Master to take it, and I will keep it safe for her. If Miaoqing can return in ten years, I will personally return it to her.”

Perfected One Xiu Xin nodded. “Good.”

“It comforts my heart greatly that you have such a Dao Heart. Since the sword embryo was obtained by your sister, it is likely part of your fortune as well. It is only right that it be used by you.”

After speaking, she released her Divine Sense, sweeping toward Yun Miaoqing in the distance.

Then, they heard a long sigh—

“Animal…”

As the voice fell, the expression of this Initial Stage Foundation Establishment Perfected One of the Sword Pavilion changed abruptly. she stood up violently, her knitted brows scanning the surroundings.

“Master?” Yun Miaozhen hadn’t reacted yet.

After all, this was completely beyond the scope of Qi Refining. Perfected One Xiu Xin had no mind to reply. With a thought, a magnificent Sword Pellet appeared in her palm.

“Break.”

The next second, sword light slashed out. This time, even Yun Miaozhen could see something was wrong—because that streak of sword light simply dissipated in mid-air.

How could this be?

For a moment, Yun Miaozhen felt as if she were in a dream, lost in the fog. Looking down, she discovered that there was another version of herself on the ground.

Is that me?

No… that is my body!

Then am I a soul?

Yun Miaozhen finally realized that her soul had been extracted at some point. She immediately turned to call for help from her master, Perfected One Xiu Xin, only to see a scene that terrified her even more… Her master, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, had also had her soul extracted!

Dharma Body Wonder, [All-Governing]!

The next second, the master and disciple saw a tall, upright figure.

He wore a dark robe and stood with his hands behind his back. Behind him stood a towering phantom with three heads, six arms, a blue face, and protruding fangs, staring straight at them.

“…Foundation Establishment Demon!?”

Perfected One Xiu Xin’s eyes went wide instantly, feeling a chill rush straight to her forehead. How could such a demon appear silently in Jiangnan?

Impossible!

Perfected One Xiu Xin was not a rogue cultivator. Although she was only a guest elder of the Ye Family, she was knowledgeable. Thus, she quickly recognized the phantom behind Lu Yang.

“[Qian Heaven All-Governing Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body]!?”

“Someone actually mastered this Rank 2 True Art of the Demonic Sect? Which Golden Core direct descendant is this? To be so audacious as to act so recklessly in my Jiangnan?”

Perfected One Xiu Xin didn’t have time to think further, because Lu Yang had already arrived in front of them. Since their souls had been extracted, their thoughts were sluggish. Let alone resisting, even screaming was difficult. They could only watch as Lu Yang reached out his palm and pressed it onto the tops of their heads.

Golden Talent: [Marionette]!

As the brilliant light of the talent descended, both Yun Miaozhen and Perfected One Xiu Xin revealed a look of blankness, groggy and unable to control themselves.

This feeling was very similar to the [Knowledge-Perception Barrier].

Even though they felt something was wrong, they couldn’t delve into it or think seriously. They could only let Lu Yang’s spiritual power wrap around them like a spiderweb.

Lu Yang carefully experienced the effect of this Golden Talent. If he had to use a precise and easy-to-understand word to describe this talent—

[Hypnosis].

“People controlled by this talent won’t show any changes normally, but as long as they are in front of me and I activate the talent, they will immediately be used by me.”

What a domineering talent!

Fellow Daoist Suo Huan, you did a good job!
