Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 432 Ye Xishui Wants to Transfer Her Skills to Ye Guyi
Ye Guyi was momentarily stunned, her brain racing. For a moment, she even thought Ye Xishui was humiliating her. Who acts like a mother to someone they just meet? She wasn't Wa Xuedi.

After a while, looking at Ye Xishui's expression, he realized that this crazy woman might be serious; she really wanted him to be the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Zhongli Wu was getting anxious, but Feng Ling held him back tightly. Ye Xishui was not someone to be trifled with.

In the past, if we could still manage to say a few words, the other party would consider the blood ties and listen to a word or two of advice.

However, Ye Xishui's mental state is now worrying, having been tormented by the power of death, resentment, and ghost messengers for several years.

To say she has a mental illness is to downplay her symptoms. You can find all sorts of mental illnesses in Ye Xishui; she's a living textbook of psychology.

Moreover, apart from Adam, no psychologist dares to treat Ye Xishui; even nine heads wouldn't be enough for Ye Xishui to chop off in a second.

Feng Ling knew that if she clashed with Ye Xishui at this time, Ye Xishui might not care about family ties, and Zhong Liwu might even be in danger of death.

"Calm down. Don't you know the situation of the Supreme Master?"

"She's just a young girl who's only temporarily favored; she's not a threat."

Feng Ling's spiritual power quietly entered Zhong Liwu's spiritual sea. Ye Xishui could feel the fluctuations of this spiritual power, but she was too lazy to care and stared intently at Ye Guyi below.

Zhongli Wu reluctantly sat back down, glaring at Ye Guyi. He realized a serious problem.

If Ye Guyi were just a lucky young girl, that would be one thing; even if we couldn't kill her, there would be plenty of opportunities to get back at her later.

But Ye Guyi is Otto's man! He and Otto have never gotten along. The bishop's authority overlaps with that of the priest, which weakens his power in a sense. How could that make him happy?
Ye Guyi has the support of the Hall of Offerings. It's no secret within the Holy Church's upper echelons that Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng went to the Douling Empire with her. Everyone knows this.

Once Ye Guyi becomes Ye Xishui's daughter, her position as sect leader will truly be in jeopardy. Judging from her mother's mental state, she is absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

Ye Guyi, who was being watched by Ye Xishui, moved her throat and silently chanted the name of the Angel God in her heart.

"Great Angel God, it is not that I want to betray the path of justice; it is all for the purpose of eradicating evil."

I absolutely have no intention of becoming the leader of the evil spirit masters. By the grace of my ancestors, my actions were solely for the sake of justice on the continent!

"........."

After silently layering a bunch of armor on herself, Ye Guyi decided to make a choice that went against her ancestors' wishes. Ever since Otto sent her to the Douling Empire, her bottom line had gradually begun to loosen and become more flexible.

She immediately knelt down, her knees hitting the ground with a dull thud.

"Having spent half my life in wandering, I only regret that I have not met a wise ruler! If you do not abandon me, Mother, I am willing to become your godmother!"

Ye Xishui smiled, looked at Ye Guyi below, raised her hand, and used her powerful soul force to lift the kneeling Ye Guyi up, saying:

"Good good!"

“I have obtained the Bone Robe, truly a gift from heaven! From today onwards, we shall address each other as mother and daughter! It’s perfect, we share the same surname, so there’s no need to change our surnames.”

“Zhongliwu, you may all leave now. I have something to discuss with my daughter.”

If looks could devour people, Zhongli Wu would have already swallowed Ye Guyi whole. Pushed and shoved by Feng Ling, he left the place sullenly.

Ye Guyi ignored Zhong Liwu's gaze. Having been in the Holy Spirit Sect for so many years, she had long understood that Zhong Liwu was a fool, and his brain had probably been damaged by resentment.

Moreover, his backer was the Hall of Offerings, which was already at odds with Zhongli Wu and the elders' faction. No matter how bold Zhongli Wu was, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him.

After everyone left, Ye Xishui beckoned to Ye Guyi, beckoning her to come to her side.

Ye Guyi obediently did as she was told. She was actually quite curious about what kind of clever tricks this crazy woman had up her sleeve to recognize her as her goddaughter.

She only hoped that her ancestors in the underworld could forgive her, as she truly did not intend to recognize the world's most evil spirit master as her adoptive mother.

Ye Xishui looked at Ye Guyi with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes. She had already seen Ye Guyi's background. Perhaps her mind had been clouded by resentment. This girl's life experiences always made her see her own reflection.

"Guyi, I won't hide it from you."

"Actually, I don't have long to live."

"Such a good thing?!"

Ye Guyi was shocked and secretly delighted, but outwardly she remained sorrowful and said:
"Why is this happening?!"

"You are the pillar of the Holy Church. If you fall, what will become of us?"

Ye Xishui touched Ye Guyi's smooth, long golden hair, which gave the latter goosebumps and made her feel disgusted.

"No need to flatter me like that. Where should I go? The Holy Church has Otto and others. Just follow their advice."

“Otto is incredibly wise, but we need to be wary of him. Zhang Peng and other outsiders are not orthodox evil soul masters. They can be given high positions, but not real power.”

"Perhaps it really is fate that we are together. With you by my side, I finally feel a sense of ease."

"No, actually it's because divine power has the ability to suppress resentment." Ye Guyi stood beside her with a sad expression, inwardly complaining.

Over the next period of time, Ye Xishui told her a lot of the secrets of the Holy Spirit Cult, many of which were known only to the cult leader.

For example, the Holy Spirit is not an ethereal belief; He has indeed given things. Long ago, the Holy Spirit bestowed secret teachings.

These secret techniques can burn spirit rings to unleash terrifying spirit power, and also provide methods for increasing the age of spirit rings, as well as various combat tactics.

The method of increasing the age of soul rings no longer has any advantage, as soul spirits can increase their age much faster than this method.

Unfortunately, evil spirit masters cannot form contracts with spirits, and the Spirit Pagoda kills them whenever it sees them.

To be honest, these esoteric methods always gave Ye Guyi some hallucinations, and he always felt that some of them were modifications of the Haotian Sect's esoteric methods.

Ye Xishui seemed to see through Ye Guyi's thoughts and said with a smile:

I know what you're thinking.

“That’s right, these secret techniques and the Haotian Sect’s Ring-Breaking Technique are from the same lineage, it’s quite obvious.”

"Keep your thoughts in your heart, don't speak them out. Treat the Holy Spirit as just a saying, but don't actually believe in it."

"If you want to become strong and shoulder the future of the Holy Church, you cannot have faith. Faith is a kind of inertia that will block your path to becoming stronger."

"I can sense your cultivation level, level 85, very good!"

"The Continental Advanced Youth Soul Master Competition has begun, and our Holy Church will also participate. The task of leading the Holy Church team is entrusted to you."

"During this period, you need to practice diligently. I will provide you with all kinds of rare and precious materials to help you quickly improve your cultivation. Don't worry about the problem of an unstable foundation. First, raise your cultivation to level ninety-four."

"By then, I will directly elevate you to the position of Limit Douluo."

Ye Xishui stared into Ye Guyi's eyes, which were murky and filled with resentment and the power of death flowing through her veins, eroding every cell in her body.

As a Limit Douluo, she knew very well that her lifespan would not exceed one year, and that after she died she would probably go to the filthiest hell and suffer all kinds of torment.

Having killed nearly ten million lives, the weight of this sin was enough to condemn her to eternal damnation. So rather than suffer after death, she should learn from the old ghost Zhongli and burn her entire life essence to pass on her skills to her promising successors.

The thought of burdening her with the future of the Holy Church had driven Ye Xishui to the brink of despair. She was exhausted, and madness and pain were constantly raging in her ears.

Zhongli Wu always reminded her of some unpleasant memories, so Ye Xishui would never give him her cultivation level under any circumstances.

Since Ye Guyi seems pleasing to the eye and has good talent, let's just give her the power. It's all the same anyway; it doesn't really matter who bears the burden of the Holy Church.

As long as Ye Guyi reaches level 94, she can withstand the infusion of cultivation power. Ye Xishui is confident that she can push her to the Quasi-Limit Douluo level in one go, just one step away from the Limit Douluo level.

…………

Ye Guyi didn't even know how she got out of the cave. Otto had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw her come out, he showed a gentle smile.

"Looks like you've had quite a haul?"

Ye Guyi nodded and said, "Can we talk over here?"

Otto laughed and said, "Why not?"

You are free to speak your mind.

The two walked together on the way back to Mingdu. Ye Guyi began to recount her experiences inside. After patiently listening to Ye Guyi's story, Otto patted her on the shoulder and said:

"It seems the Supreme Master is serious."

"You may not know this, but there is a secret method in the Holy Spirit Cult that can burn away one's cultivation and pass on one's essence to the next generation."

"This is an ability that only the leader of the cult possesses. Generally, it is passed down from the previous leader to the next leader."

It's a pity that the Supreme Master didn't pass on his skills to the current Master; perhaps he had a kind of mental fastidiousness?

"Cultivate diligently and reach level 94 as soon as possible. The transfer of power from a Limit Douluo can at least make you a Super Douluo."

"Wait until she is weak from transferring her power, then kill her with one sword. Ye Xishui's sins are enough to make you a Limit Douluo."

"My little angel, you won't soften your heart, will you?"

Ye Guyi rolled her eyes and said, "Are you kidding me? I almost threw up when she touched me inside."

"A heretic who speaks of compassion? Does she deserve it?! Her hands are stained with the blood of at least ten million lives. I wish I could make her experience the most extreme torture."

Otto smiled, his tone somewhat enigmatic:
"I look forward to the day when the Angel of Judgment appears. Maybe in the future you can also go to the City of Slaughter and compete for the position of Asura."
