Chapter 429: Chapter 429 Yin God (Please Subscribe)

Desolate Mountain Cave Mansion.

Eighteen hurried years had passed in the blink of an eye.

The cave mansion, originally hastily established, now bore no trace of its initial newness. Instead, the entrance was overgrown with vines, imbued with a sense of antiquity.

That day, at noon.

A gust of Evil Qi blew past, and amidst it, a young girl arrived on the winds—Xu Xin’er.

She had inherited the Heavenly Ding Sect’s supreme mental method, achieved great success in Qi Refinement at an early age, and had been passed the Qi Harvesting spell by Zhong Shenxiu, breaking into the realm of Condensing Evil.

Since her breakthrough had been early, even though she was already in her thirties, she still looked just like the young girl she once was.

"My father and mentor have been in seclusion, both for over a decade..." Xu Xin’er had constructed a wooden hut outside the cave mansion and cultivated several vegetable gardens. This time, she had ventured out to purchase some items for a young woman’s needs.

As she murmured to herself, she complained inwardly, "Cultivating, cultivating, if one spends every day in seclusion, there really is no joy in it..."

At that moment, she suddenly sensed something and looked up.

The sky turned dark, and clouds gathered, bringing with them a faint sense of oppressive might.

In a daze, she nearly thought she had returned to a decade ago and exclaimed, "Could mentor be undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation again?"

...

Inside the cave mansion.

Xu Guo’s expression was a mixture of sorrow and joy as he looked at the third-grade Outer Dao Primordial Pill inside his body, its surface riddled with countless cracks before suddenly exploding.

An indescribable, enigmatic shadow emerged.

It was the appearance of the Yin God as the pill shattered!

"Ha, why aren’t you quickly splitting a part of your Divine Soul to dominate the Yin God?!" Xu Guo recalled the hardships of his cultivation over the past decade. Surprised by his entry into the Yin God state, he was still somewhat dazed when he heard Zhong Shenxiu’s voice.

Only then did Xu Guo come back to his senses from his Heart Demon-induced daze, and he formed a spell with his hands.

His Divine Soul split in two amidst intense pain. At this moment, he endured the agony and injected half of it directly into the Yin God.

The next moment, the shadow became more tangible, stepping out from Xu Guo’s body and transforming into a figure identical to him.

But this figure was expressionless, and its eyes seemed to hold a dense malice that wouldn’t dissipate.

Not just that.

One eye after another suddenly opened across the surface of this Yin God’s body, each bearing various emotions of madness, mockery, and chaos...

Witnessing this scene, Xu Guo felt as if his Dao Heart was being tainted by countless Heart Demons, and a look of struggle surfaced on his own face.

"The nature of the Yin God is ultimately indestructible..." Zhong Shenxiu sighed and commanded, "Calm your mind and spirit at once, suppress the Heart Demon, or you’ll be beyond recognition..."

Xu Guo’s Yin God moved, a trace of clarity appeared in his eyes, and he exerted effort to quell the demonic transformation.

At last, the eyes slowly closed, but there remained an eye on the forehead that couldn’t be shut, no matter what.

Not only did it not close, but its pupil still whirled around restlessly, surveying its surroundings.

Even Zhong Shenxiu couldn’t help feeling a chill in her heart when this eye fixed its gaze on her.

"At last, the Yin God is accomplished!" Xu Guo’s Yin God moved and left the cave mansion, then withstood forty-nine strikes of Divine Thunder, dispersed the dark clouds, walked under the fierce sun’s blaze, and let out a prolonged howl.

Xu Guo’s Yin God, in nature similar to the Daoist Primordial Spirit and not like a ghostly soul, was almost indestructible and naturally feared not the likes of True Sun Fire.

At this moment, feeling the mana steadily climbing within his body, he couldn’t help feeling elated, "I, Xu Guo... am the first Primordial Spirit Ancestor of this realm!"

"I’m afraid you can only be called—Yin God Venerable, at this level. Your thoughts have not yet become pure Yang, and you’ve only walked half of the Primordial Spirit Dao, so you’re a Half-step Primordial Spirit."

Zhong Shenxiu also flew to mid-air and couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

Over the past decades, he had devoted himself completely to nurturing this student to achieve the Yin God, and Xu Guo indeed lived up to the expectations, actually accomplishing it.

’This achievement is partly due to his own exceptional talent. After all, with a Seven-star Immortal Root and Linglong Dao Body, he was born extraordinary, and he had dozens of years of hardship to temper his Dao Heart...’

’What’s more crucial is that he is entangled with fate, having somewhat of a destiny about him... This is the protagonist’s fate!’

’Furthermore, my Yin God Achievement Method is only experimental in nature, designed to chase a breakthrough more easily, giving up too much... Even though he has made a breakthrough, it’s still inferior!’

’This can be seen from the Heavenly Tribulation, the quantity is plentiful, but the power of each strike is not even two to three-tenths of the Five Evil God Thunder...’

He looked at his student and suddenly said with a smile, "Gu’er, go all out and attack your teacher once."

"Your student dares not!"

Xu Guo’s expression changed, repeatedly saying he didn’t dare.

’If this were a melodramatic plot, wouldn’t the disciple develop an arrogant heart upon seeing that his level has surpassed his teacher’s, preparing to betray and destroy his master?’

Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily and said, "Don’t be afraid, come on!"

Behind his head, an Outer Dao Primordial Pill flew out, the natural qi of heaven and earth shook, becoming a large hand, and with a light push, he pressed Xu Guo into the ground.

Xu Xin’er watched this scene in a daze.

Xu Guo in the pit was even more stunned, looking at his own Yin God and thinking, ’Could it be... my Yin God is a fake?’

He immediately called out, "Please wait a moment, Teacher, let your disciple gather his mana."

He hurriedly activated his Yin God, absorbing the natural qi of heaven and earth, his mana rippling throughout his body.

"Are you ready?"

Zhong Shenxiu asked with a smile, and after hearing Xu Guo’s affirmative response, he pressed down with another palm.

This time Xu Guo endured for nine breaths but was still pressed into the ground by a palm.

Suddenly, his Yin God fled back to the cave mansion, probably going into seclusion due to discouragement.

"Indeed... it’s still subpar."

Zhong Shenxiu landed in Xu Xin’er’s courtyard, asked his granddisciple to make tea, and began to ponder slowly, "This Yin God Achievement Method, although successful, is actually a failure..."

In these years, he had racked his brains, cooperated with Xu Guo and passed through several barriers of the Yin God Achievement Method, finally deducing this method to great success.

But the last step, it ultimately failed.

"Teacher!"

The cave mansion opened, and Xu Guo, supporting his own body, walked out with a bitter smile, "It’s impossible to purify my thoughts to pure Yang, and my Yin God cannot be transformed into Yang God. This world is poisonous!"

The original plan for both was for the pill to shatter and the Yin God to emerge, then to inject Xu Guo’s True Spirit into the Yin God. Compared to the Primordial Spirit, a cultivator’s physical body is like a cast-off skin, disposable.

But at this step, after experimenting for a long time, Zhong Shenxiu reluctantly had to admit, the Yin God is constantly being contaminated by the environment—this world is toxic!

Therefore, no matter how much of the Yin essence is purified, that much is generated anew.

It was somewhat reminiscent of the idea that for every foot the Dao rises, the Demon rises ten.

If Xu Guo’s True Spirit were to be infused into it and lose the protection of his physical body, it might become corrupted by the Yin God and possibly turn into a demon in just a short time, causing chaos in the world.

Therefore, Zhong Shenxiu could only settle for the next best thing, allowing him to divide his spirit and thoughts, with only half of his Divine Soul residing within, and the other half of his consciousness controlling his physical body, barely maintaining a balance.

Thus, the Yin God was achieved.

"The environment is toxic, and since the Yin God merges with the nature, it is equivalent to being contaminated every moment... Although you have achieved the Yin God, the majority of your Dao cultivation and mana have to be used to suppress the contamination, with only a small part left to utilize. Your overall mana is about equivalent to a three-turn Reversion Pill stage..."

Zhong Shenxiu gave his judgement, "Of course, if you were to release most of your power, no longer suppressing the demonic contamination, you could naturally push your mana to its limits. It wouldn’t be difficult to step beyond the barrier of the Ancient Primordial Spirit, but after that, you’d be... gone."
