Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

78. A sense of foreboding

"Master, you said they went in because..." With Wu Yaqiu's sudden arrival, which severely injured the newly regenerated soul of the Yin Corpse, and after disappearing with Yun Mu Ning, the Xuanming Ice Coffin seemed to have fallen into complete silence. Otherwise, Ah Zhong would not have had the mind to transmit his voice to Gao Zhun and tell him these so-called gossips.

Gao Zhun looked at Ah Zhong with suspicion, especially when she saw the slight blush on his handsome and resolute face. She couldn't help but reply, "Who cares about other people's romantic affairs? Let's deal with this corpse first."

Gao Zhun was unaware that her words, "Who cares about other people's romantic musings?" were a perfect response to Ah Zhong's endless daydreams. By the time she realized it, the man who had caused trouble with her, even with "Earth," was already running wildly down a thorny road, never to return.

"So, what did you do besides learning hacking techniques while you were on 'Earth'?" Gao Zhun finally couldn't help but ask.

Ah Zhong replied somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, in the early stages of learning hacking, I had to practice, right? The first computer I hacked was my owner's. I focused on the playback history on my owner's computer, and then out of curiosity, I looked at it too, and then..."

Gao Zhun sighed, "How could she not know what she likes to watch on the computer?" Although she didn't know how that secret realm was created, she did watch every yuri-related movie, TV series, and anime she could find in those years, satisfying her little yuri fantasies.

Well, Gao Zhun is now powerless to reprimand Ah Zhong for daring to spy on her *. Unexpectedly, it was her fault that Ah Zhong evolved into a yuri man. This world is just too crazy.

Just as Gao Zhun was inwardly frantic about the future of Ah Zhong, the most authoritative person present, Yun Zihan, actually came over to talk to her. This forced her to put aside her personal matters concerning Ah Zhong's hobbies and interests and instead discuss things with Yun Zihan.

“Miss Wuya has already severely injured the Yin Corpse’s primordial spirit. Gao… Young friend Huangzhu, we must press our advantage and pursue them. You can also take advantage of this opportunity to learn the mantra for converting resentment. Let’s all be prepared for both scenarios. At that time, whether we face the Yin Corpse or its primordial spirit formed from resentment, we will have a way to deal with it.”

Yun Zihan's words were actually part of Gao Zhun's plan after Wu Yaqiubai's appearance. However, she was distracted by Ah Zhong's awakening of strange attributes. Furthermore, regardless of the circumstances, her seniority and strength were far inferior to Yun Zihan's. She felt she couldn't possibly point fingers at Yun Zihan in front of so many cultivators from the Yun family. Now that Yun Zihan had taken the initiative, it resolved her concerns.

Gao Zhun glanced gratefully at Yun Zihan and nodded, saying, "Then I will trouble you seniors to protect me. If the Yin Corpse makes any move during this time, I will have to rely on your supernatural powers."

Yun Zihan smiled and said, "Of course. From this moment on, my Yun family cultivators will protect you and your guard to the end, and you just need to focus on comprehending those mantras."

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhun's inner voice flashed a big V-sign. This was exactly what Yun Zihan had been waiting for. She had been naive enough to believe her own seemingly obvious nonsense. They were actually being raised like venomous insects. This trip to the Yin Sha Cave was not just to broaden their horizons. Fortunately, she hadn't discovered it too late, and she hadn't been too useless in this operation. Otherwise, how could she have so easily obtained the promise from Yun Zihan, a late-stage Mahayana expert?

Now that she had the protection of the forty-nine Mahayana stage cultivators from the Yun family, Gao Zhun calmed down and focused on comprehending the mantras. The mantra for dealing with resentment only consisted of three lines, which should take much less time than comprehending the mantra for dealing with the Yin Corpse. Furthermore, with the Yin Corpse's primordial spirit severely injured by Wu Ya Qiubai, she had no reason not to believe that this group of high-level cultivators, led by Yun Zihan, could protect her until she finished comprehending the mantra.

That would be their final battle against the Yin Corpse. They had been tricked enough on this trip, and it was time for them to launch a desperate counterattack!

After Gao Zhun successfully entered a meditative state, Yun Zihan looked at her with some complicated emotions, as well as in the direction where Wu Yaqiubai had disappeared. She did not feel that her beloved disciple was inadequate or incomparable to Gao Zhun and Wu Yaqiubai because of Yun Muning's apparent vulnerability, but she had to admit that these two were just as outstanding as Yun Muning, who was able to have the Heavenly Flower Illusion Mirror recognize her as its master.

Yes, aside from the Yun family cultivators, no one knows how extraordinary it is to have the Heavenly Splendor Illusion Mirror recognize a master. The Yun family, as a lineage clan, has existed for countless millennia, and the Heavenly Splendor Illusion Mirror has been in their hands for just as long. However, in all those millennia, only three people have been able to have the Heavenly Splendor Illusion Mirror recognize a master: one is the first patriarch of the Yun family, who long ago transcended the Void Realm; another is Yun Chengyun, who built Yong City and is buried there; and the last is Yun Mu Ning, who possesses boundless potential. Yet, even this most celebrated genius of the Yun family has two people standing beside her, still radiating brilliance…

"The Yun family, the Gao family, the Wuya family, and perhaps many more... Heh, the future will surely be very interesting, but also very cruel. How far can these children go?" Yun Zihan prayed silently in her heart. Her Yun family originally served as priests on the Immortal Spirit Continent, so even though countless years had passed, they hadn't abandoned prayer. She performed it with unparalleled skill. Furthermore, Yun Zihan had a secret she'd never told anyone: she always benefited from her prayers, receiving divine blessings. However, she didn't want any blessings at this moment; she was purely praying for these young people. The future ultimately belonged to them, didn't it?

Gao Zhun's earlier thoughts were indeed correct. She did not spend a long time comprehending those three true words this time. She had completed them in just three days. However, this did not make her happy at all, because she felt that she had reached her limit. All twelve true words were her limit. Therefore, if this Yin Corpse had any power that they did not know about, they would no longer be able to deal with it easily. What awaited them then would be the most tragic battle.

The moment Gao Zhun opened her eyes, everyone could see a glint of light flash within them, which was instantly concealed. This clearly indicated that she had achieved considerable success in her cultivation, reaching a level where she could control her gaze at will. One couldn't help but marvel at the extraordinary boost to comprehension that the Gao family's innate soul talent provided. Despite lacking any innate wisdom or even the qualifications to enter the Buddhist order, she was able to comprehend mantras at a speed far surpassing that of Buddhist cultivators. No wonder the Gao family had remained the undisputed number one lineage for so long. Even though many lineages had perished to varying degrees, the Gao family stood like a monument, enduring through the ages…

"How far behind the Yun family compared to the Gao family?" For some reason, this question arose in Yun Zihan's mind, and she was puzzled by the question itself. This feeling was very unsettling, as if something irresistible was happening or had already happened.

"Young friend Huangzhu, are you ready? Let's proceed according to the previous plan. We will be responsible for melting the Xuanming Ice Coffin. You must seize the moment and complete the salvation the instant the Xuanming Ice Stone melts away. You don't have much time; perhaps only a fleeting instant, or perhaps not even a fleeting instant..."

Gao Zhun interrupted Yun Zihan, his expression utterly calm: "Senior, I am fully prepared and prepared to die trying."

"What a perfect 'do or die' attitude! You're just my type!" Yun Zihan laughed and patted Gao Zhun's shoulder. The gloom that had just inexplicably arisen dissipated with her laughter. At this moment, her mind was only on the Yin Corpse in the Xuanming Ice Coffin. After all, the challenge facing the Yun family was none other than this Yin Corpse that was so difficult to deal with.

"Everyone, prepare your Samadhi True Fire, let us work together to melt that Xuanming Ice Coffin."

"Order!"

While the two deafening sounds were still ringing in Gao Zhun and A Zhong's ears, forty-nine Samadhi True Fires were unleashed simultaneously, and their power was much greater than that of a simple stack of forty-nine. Gao Zhun noticed that Yun Zihan and the others had carefully chosen their positions, and guessed that they had formed a large array that could amplify the power of the True Fires based on the Samadhi True Fires they had unleashed.

Ah Zhong said, "That is the Gale Formation. There is a gale within the formation that cultivators cannot detect. The wind can fuel the fire. I believe that with the help of the Gale Formation, it will probably not even take a day to melt this small Xuanming Ice Coffin. Ten hours should be enough."

Meanwhile, inside the Tianhua Illusion Mirror, Mr. Wuya Qiubai, who was giving Yun Muning a "physiology and health lesson," suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. An extremely ominous premonition arose in his mind. Noticing something was amiss, Yun Muning asked, "Why did you stop? There are still many things I don't understand."

Wu Yaqiubai ignored her, her pale, childlike face filled with horror. Her hands trembled as she grabbed Yun Muning's hand, saying in alarm, "Xiao Ning, I have a very bad feeling. Your master and Gao Zhun are in danger, a life-or-death situation!"
