Later, Tu Shan Jin left Yao Xingxing a message and set off for Tongrenzong. In the following years, he would occasionally contact her and mention his situation in Tongrenzong.
In recent years, Yao Xingxing has been busy advancing her level and has to go into seclusion every few days. Wei Linchuan also doesn't stay in the back mountain often and often goes outside, sometimes for more than a month at a time, with the longest period being more than half a year.
After Yao Xingxing emerged from seclusion, he was not around. Sometimes she would go to Jinnan to visit. In business, Wei Linchuan and her third senior brother took good care of her, and her business has been going smoothly ever since. In addition, with the emergence of modern elements, the star-chasing culture quickly became popular in the Jinnan area, generating considerable profits for her.
After a short stay in Jinan for a month, Yao Xingxing returned to the sect to continue her cultivation. Coincidentally, Wei Linchuan also returned. The two, who had not seen each other for a long time, were inseparable for more than half a month. If she hadn't realized that the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul was coming, perhaps this wonderful time would have lasted even longer.
Time flies, and a year has passed.
On this day, a dark, ominous cloud gathered in the sky behind the mountain in a very short time, accompanied by thunder and a powerful aura that enveloped the land.
The sect has a special place for tribulation, but Yao Xingxing couldn't fly there in time. As soon as she left the secluded cultivation place, she was locked by the tribulation lightning. She only had time to get to a remote place before the powerful tribulation lightning struck down.
The tribulation process was much easier than expected, because there was a very strong defensive formation on the back mountain, which neutralized part of the tribulation lightning, making it much weaker when it struck people.
Even so, Yao Xingxing suffered a lot. She was covered in black from head to toe, her skin was torn and bleeding, her limbs were numb and burning from being chopped, and she was kneeling on the ground, unable to stand steadily.
The ground beneath her feet was also struck by lightning, leaving a large crater. The surrounding trees were charred black, and wisps of smoke rose from the ground.
After surviving the tribulation, her spiritual energy replenished at an unexpected speed, and her limbs quickly returned to their optimal state. She probed inward with her divine sense and found a lifelike miniature version of herself in her dantian.
"This cultivation world is truly amazing," Yao Xingxing exclaimed in amazement.
Then, he made a hand seal to change into clean clothes, and with a light leap, flew to a nearby waterfall to wash the dirt off his face.
After successfully advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, her physical attributes improved dramatically, and her control over spiritual power became much more effortless. With just a thought, the lake beneath her feet would immediately begin to freeze, and the crystal-clear ice layer quickly spread across the entire lake surface. Most dramatically, the waterfall next to her turned into an ice curtain, and the water droplets that were thrown out turned into ice and then crashed onto the ice surface with a crackling sound, covering the ground with lumps of ice.
Yao Xingxing withdrew her strength with great satisfaction, and the ice melted in the next second, restoring the original surging waterfall and a clear, sparkling pool.
After tidying herself up, she turned and walked down the waterfall. Just as the waterfall was melting, she unexpectedly discovered a stone cave hidden behind it, and judging from the appearance of the cave entrance, it did not seem to be a natural formation.
Having a lot of energy that she couldn't release, she decided on a whim to go inside and explore.
Thousands of miles away, the man standing on the deck of the flying boat lowered his eyes and casually watched the surrounding clouds rush past. At the same time, a blue light flashed beside him, and a male voice spoke in the air.
"...To think that my Zhou family members have been so cruelly harmed by this shameless scoundrel, who has usurped our place for so many years, is truly despicable! Fellow Daoist Wei, my Zhou family owes you a favor for this matter. I will present the Divine Profound Mirror to you soon. If you ever need my Zhou family's help in the future, please feel free to ask."
The blue light faded, the voices disappeared, and only the whistling wind remained in the ears. Wei Linchuan stretched out two fingers, deftly pinched the sound transmission talisman, and then with a slight movement of his fingertips, the sound transmission talisman vanished in mid-air in the blink of an eye.
“Zhou Xuchang?” He let out a soft chuckle, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were icy cold. “I’m afraid it should be Tao Yiwen.”
He still vividly remembers the experience of being whipped. Every move he made when he lashed out with the whip, and the way he pulled it back, are as deeply ingrained in his bones as he can never forget.
It's amazing that such a dangerous person had been lurking around me for so long before I even realized it.
His thick, long eyelashes concealed extremely dark eyes, and a strong bloodlust flickered in his deep blue pupils. In the shadows, Wei Linchuan seemed to see the scene from his past life where he had torn Tao Yiwen to pieces, leaving only an empty skeleton.
He blamed him for being careless before and failing to eliminate the threat completely. Now that he had another chance, he wouldn't mind killing him again.
The man was shrouded in gloomy emotions, and a heavy chill permeated his body. Just then, he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the empty space in front of him, his expression changing drastically.
The restrictions he left on the back mountain have been triggered!
The cave behind the waterfall is more than two people high above the ground, but for a cultivator, it's just a jump away. There are no obvious traces at the entrance, but Yao Xingxing has a strange intuition that someone has been here before, and more than once.
Shaking off this strange thought, she walked deeper into the cave, where the sound of the waterfall behind her gradually subsided and the surrounding light dimmed.
The cave is much more spacious at its depths, with uneven stone walls all around, as if they were carved out with some kind of tool, quite different from naturally formed caves.
At first glance, Yao Xingxing thought this place was ordinary. But as she turned to leave, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. The spiritual energy inside the cave was several times denser than outside, something she had never noticed when she was outside.
There is a formation here.
Half an hour later, Yao Xingxing passed through the stone wall in front of her and entered a larger space. The light inside was dimmer, and the spiritual energy was thicker and more concentrated than outside, completely comparable to Wei Linchuan's cultivation room.
But none of this bothered Yao Xingxing. As soon as she entered, her attention was drawn to a strange plant in front of her.
In the center of a space the size of a basketball court, there was a giant plant resembling red coral. Its branches, in varying shades of red, spread out in a dense, domineering manner, dominating the entire space.
What Yao Xingxing found most eerie was that it seemed to have a consciousness, and the moment she entered, it immediately gave her a chilling feeling of being watched.
She unconsciously tensed up and became vigilant, but after a while nothing attacked her, and even the feeling of being locked on faded a lot.
Yao Xingxing frowned in surprise and doubt, suppressing the strange illusion that arose in her heart, and slowly approached the outstretched coral with vigilance.
She walked slowly to the tree, encountering no obstacles along the way, as if she were tacitly allowed to approach.
Soon, the tree trunks gathered together in front of her separated one by one, revealing what was wrapped inside. Yao Xingxing's gaze followed and she saw the situation the next moment, and her pupils instantly trembled.
“…Wei Ling!!”
The body lying in the middle of the tree trunk was none other than Wei Ling, whom he hadn't seen for many years and who only occasionally communicated with him telepathically. Half a year ago, she had claimed that she was undergoing training somewhere and was preparing to go into seclusion.
Each of her slender limbs was pierced with a red twig, as thin as an IV tube, with liquid seemingly flowing inside. The center of the tree trunk was bathed in sunlight, which created a striking contrast between her pale skin and the surrounding translucent red branches.
Yao Xingxing's hands trembled as she checked her temperature, breath, pulse, and heartbeat—none of them were there; her body was as still as a stagnant pool.
"Dead..."
Yao Xingxing stared at Wei Ling's face in disbelief, momentarily forgetting how to react, her mind replaying the news that Wei Ling was dead.
Who imprisoned her, who killed her, and who impersonated her to maintain contact with her?
She dared not think about it, yet a face automatically appeared in her mind.
Who else could be in this back mountain besides Wei Linchuan?
Even if it wasn't him, Wei Ling was his apprentice. She was imprisoned and tortured in the back mountain. Did he really know nothing about it?
At this moment, intense and complex emotions swept over her. Yao Xingxing stood there blankly, her expression one of panic and grief, completely at a loss.
