Chen Yi nodded in agreent and turned to lead Chen Nan into the Moon God Palace.
All the buildings in the Moon God Palace were constructed from white materials, and snowflakes continuously drifted down from the sky, making it look like a snow city.
The two of them crossed the long stone steps and finally arrived at the mountainside, where a cave dwelling had been opened, with many spirit flowers and exotic grasses growing inside.
Before Chen Yi could report, a voice ca from within the cave dwelling: "Let him in."
Clearly, the person inside the cave dwelling was already aware of what had happened at the mountain gate.
Chen Nan nodded to Chen Yi and then walked into the cave dwelling.
Shortly after he entered the cave dwelling, a figure suddenly appeared beside Chen Yi.
This person was not only a man but also dressed and had a bearing quite unlike anyone else in the Moon God Palace, and he had two horns atop his head.
"Chen Yi, who was that just now? Why did the Palace Master summon him?"
Chen Yi glanced at the man indifferently, her attitude not at all respectful, and even slightly defiant.
"Demon King Zhenyue, this is a matter of our Moon God Palace. It seems it’s not your concern, is it?"
"Hmm?" The Demon King’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and a great pressure descended, bearing down on Chen Yi like a mountain.
But even though Chen Yi was trembling, she refused to bow her head, gritting her teeth to endure.
"Humph, this ti I’ll let you off for Ling Shuanghua’s sake!"
The pressure receded like a tide, and Chen Yi coldly said, "The Moon God Palace does not welco you, nor does the Palace Master. It was you who insisted on coming to our Moon God Palace."
Demon King Zhenyue’s face imdiately turned a bit ugly, and he snarled, "Do you an to say that I, a distinguished Demon King, am not worthy of your Palace Master? I have already proposed marriage."
"Now your Palace Master is seeing another man, and I’m not even allowed to ask about it?"
"The Palace Master has not accepted, nor has she taken anything from the Demon King." Chen Yi’s attitude was very firm.
Demon King Zhenyue was both angry and humiliated by a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, but he dared not offend the Moon God Palace and could only leave in a huff.
"Just wait, your Palace Master will be mine in the end!"
Chen Yi rolled her eyes and then turned to leave as well.
The cave dwelling of the Palace Master appeared very simple, and after Chen Nan walked through a corridor, his eyes widened.
In front of him was a lake, with a small pavilion at its center, and a white figure sat within the pavilion.
Chen Nan lightly leaped and landed in the pavilion, where the person inside poured him a cup of tea.
"Please sit, young friend."
The person before him was the Palace Master of the Moon God Palace, Ling Shuanghua, a rather cool beauty with white hair and white eyebrows, and even her eyes were pure white, like a snowy scene.
She wore white clothes, her posture lazy, and her fra was much larger than that of ordinary won. Chen Nan estimated her height to be nearly two ters.
"Greetings, Palace Master."
"No need for formalities. I heard you have news about Taiyin?" The Palace Master spoke lazily, gesturing for him to proceed.
Chen Nan did not stand on ceremony and sat down across from her, nodding: "Exactly."
After taking a sip of tea, he extended his hand, and a hint of Taiyin appeared in his palm, like a black candle fla.
"So it is Taiyin! Have you fused with Taiyin?"
The Moon God Palace’s Palace Master was slightly surprised.
"I have not fused with Taiyin, but devoured it." Chen Nan explained that he had cultivated the Devouring Spirit Technique.
The face of the Moon God Palace’s Palace Master changed slightly, and she sighed: "There truly exists such a miraculous Secret Technique in the world, but unfortunately, you have co too late."
Chen Nan did not quite understand the Palace Master’s aning, but he still asked: "Palace Master, it is rumored that you also obtained Taiyin back then. May I ask how you handled it?"
"What is this? Are you here to probe the Palace Master’s secrets?" The Palace Master smiled faintly.
Chen Nan hurriedly waved his hand: "I am not probing the Palace Master’s secrets. I have a friend who has fused with part of Taiyin and is now unable to suppress it."
"I heard the Palace Master also obtained Taiyin, so I wanted to know how you handled Taiyin back then?"
With that, he even retrieved the frozen Yun Ying from the Immortal Palace Space to demonstrate his sincerity.
Ling Shuanghua saw Chen Nan casually take out a living being and knew he had secrets, as ordinary storage bags could not store living beings.
But she rely raised her eyelids, then focused on the ice block, as Yun Ying’s body was half black.
Since he did not seem to be lying, Ling Shuanghua sighed lightly: "I see, but unfortunately, I cannot help you, for I also fused Taiyin within myself."
"Though I gained much, I must constantly suppress Taiyin to prevent reversal, and had it not been for my cultivation reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, I might have ended up like your friend."
Upon hearing this, Chen Nan’s heart sank. He had co to find a way to resolve the Taiyin reversal, but he did not expect Ling Shuanghua was also suffering from reversal, with no resolution in sight.
Wasn’t this a wasted trip?
"So, is there no other way?"
Ling Shuanghua suddenly looked at Chen Nan: "Can’t your ’Devouring Spirit Technique’ devour Taiyin?"
"No, Taiyin has already fused with Yun Ying. If I forcibly devour Taiyin, Yun Ying will not survive either." Chen Nan shook his head.
"Then why not... let try?" Ling Shuanghua suddenly said.
Chen Nan was taken aback, hearing her explain: "You are rely at the Golden Core Realm, but I possess Great Perfection Cultivation at the Nascent Soul Realm, so perhaps it will be different."
Although he knew it might be a solution, Chen Nan felt Ling Shuanghua was targeting his Devouring Spirit Technique, after all, the ability to devour Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects to enhance oneself sounded like an incredible Secret Technique.
But Ling Shuanghua did not know that the Devouring Spirit Technique needs to be used in conjunction with the Myriad Phenona Skill, as only the Myriad Phenona Skill can accommodate the devoured Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects.
Without the Myriad Phenona Skill, using the Devouring Spirit Technique to devour Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects would only burden the body.
So after thinking about it, Chen Nan decided to teach the Devouring Spirit Technique to Ling Shuanghua.
"It truly is a wondrous Secret Technique. How about staying in the Moon God Palace for a few days while I practice the ’Devouring Spirit Technique’ and then make a plan?" Ling Shuanghua seed sowhat excited.
After all, this might be the solution to the Taiyin reversal problem.
"Very well, then I shall impose." Chen Nan nodded and placed Yun Ying back into the Immortal Palace Space.
Soon, Chen Yi returned and led Chen Nan to the guest room of the Moon God Palace.
No sooner had Chen Yi left than a burly man entered Chen Nan’s courtyard, eyes fixed unwaveringly on Chen Nan.
Seeing the two horns atop his head, Chen Nan knew he was of the Demon Clan.
Being able to wander freely and be a guest in the Moon God Palace indicated that the relationship between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan on the Inner Sea was more harmonious than Chen Nan had imagined.
The visitor was none other than Demon King Zhenyue.
"What is your relationship with Ling Shuanghua?" Demon King Zhenyue asked in an unfriendly tone.
Chen Nan was sowhat startled but then coldly replied: "I have nothing to disclose. This is the accommodation arranged by the Moon God Palace for . Please leave, fellow Daoist."
Demon King Zhenyue suddenly released a surge of overwhelming pressure towards Chen Nan, asking, "Are you not afraid of ?"
Chen Nan trembled slightly but quickly straightened his body, saying without fear: "Please leave!"
He was sure this person dared not make a move in the Moon God Palace, and given his rudeness, he had no need to be polite.
Having been embarrassed by two Golden Core Realm Cultivators, Demon King Zhenyue was furious but ultimately snorted and left in anger.
"What an idiot."
Chen Nan turned around and entered the room, activating the courtyard’s restriction to begin his cultivation.
In the Moon God Palace, casually encountered people were Nascent Soul Realm experts, so he had to enhance his cultivation. Otherwise, people like Demon King Zhenyue would only increase.
Several days passed swiftly, during which Ling Shuanghua frequently summoned Chen Nan to her cave dwelling to inquire about cultivating the Devouring Spirit Technique.
But to those with ulterior motives, this appeared as if their relationship was becoming increasingly intimate.
"Chen Nan, Ling Shuanghua is mine; you deserve to die!"
