Moon God Palace Cave.
Ling Shuanghua finished her cultivation, slowly opened her eyes, and shook her head with a sigh, her exquisite face full of dejection.
"Ah, even having cultivated the Devouring Spirit Technique cannot resolve the Taiyin within ; it’s truly a wasted effort."
Chen Nan also showed a look of despair, thinking to himself, is Yun Ying really beyond saving?
"May I ask, Palace Master, how did you originally acquire the Taiyin, and how did you fuse with it?"
Ling Shuanghua didn’t hide anything and divulged all her affairs.
"Back then, being too young, with ambitions as high as the clouds, but alas, my natural talent was poor; my cultivation reached the Golden Core Peak and then made no further progress."
Chen Nan greatly agreed with this point, as in Yun Ying’s sect, Moon River Valley, both the Sect Leader and Elders were hindered by their talents; without a chance encounter, they would be trapped at the Golden Core Peak for life.
Natural talent or aptitude in the Cultivation World is undoubtedly the most frustrating and unfair thing, determining how far a cultivator can go on the path of cultivation.
Yet most cultivators cannot practice to the limits of their talents; cultivation resources, Immortal Law, and Spiritual Artifacts all greatly influence the cultivation path.
Ling Shuanghua’s eyes drifted to the horizon, a hint of wistfulness on her face, as if recalling the past, gently brushing her sleeve across the table, which then manifested a pot of wine and two cups.
"Watching helplessly as those once inferior surpass oneself, perhaps you can’t understand that feeling; I was unwilling, feeling the heavens were unjust."
She raised her hand and poured wine for Chen Nan and herself, her voluptuous figure inadvertently revealed, her entire being shrouded in a layer of faint lancholy.
"Later, I heard that acquiring Taiyin could change one’s talent; at the ti, I only knew Taiyin was a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object but didn’t understand it’s not that simple."
"I went through countless hardships and finally obtained Taiyin, successfully changing my talent, yet Taiyin often backlashes, even I can barely suppress it, unsure whether fusing with Taiyin was right or wrong."
Chen Nan slightly furrowed his brows, sowhat confused: "Palace Master said Taiyin is not rely a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object; what does that an? Does Taiyin hide other secrets?"
Ling Shuanghua nodded slowly: "Taiyin is indeed a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, but it’s more advanced than ordinary spiritual objects, or rather, it’s a different kind of... life!"
"Therefore, fusing with Taiyin is akin to fusing with another life form, naturally causing backlash; if not suppressed, one might beco soone else."
Chen Nan was instantly shocked: "If that’s the case, aren’t I also in danger?"
"No, you’re different," Ling Shuanghua smiled, downing her cup of wine: "The Devouring Spirit Technique is exquisite, completely transforming Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects into a part of oneself."
"So you won’t have the risk of Taiyin Reversal."
Chen Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing why Ling Shuanghua previously lanted it being too late; if she had acquired the Devouring Spirit Technique earlier, she wouldn’t suffer the pain of backlash.
Fate truly toys with people.
"Let’s not discuss this today; you’re here to drink with , I just want to enjoy a good drunken stupor." Ling Shuanghua raised her wine cup again.
Chen Nan had been preoccupied with thoughts of Yun Ying these days and knowing now that it couldn’t be resolved, he felt irritable, so he nodded: "Alright, let’s enjoy a drunken night with the Palace Master."
The two exchanged cups, using the scenery as dishes, and before long, they were quite drunk.
"Truly worthy of wine that can intoxicate a Nascent Soul Realm Master..." Chen Nan’s speech had beco sowhat unclear.
Ling Shuanghua’s cheeks were blushing, her eyes drowsy and drunk: "From now on, don’t call Palace Master, call Shuanghua; I’ll call you Xiao Nan, is that alright?"
Chen Nan’s head was already swimming, so he agreed without hesitation.
The two continued drinking, and as they got caught up, Ling Shuanghua even began to dance in front of Chen Nan, her movents captivating, her voluptuous figure stirring his blood.
In this idyllic mont, Ling Shuanghua’s expression suddenly changed, as a surge of coldness erupted from her, seemingly about to freeze everything!
Taiyin Reversal!
The cold expanded, forming a thick layer of ice over the lake, even frosting the pavilion.
Ling Shuanghua breathed in cold air, quickly sitting cross-legged, suppressing the Power of Taiyin, yet soon a thin layer of ice covered her, even her eyelashes frosted.
"Help !"
She lifted her head, looking pitifully enchanting, with a hint of pleading, a little woman’s deanor.
The grand Palace Master of the Moon God Palace, having such a side, could shock anyone if known.
Chen Nan stepped forward, reached out to hold Ling Shuanghua’s hand, a stream of cold rushing through his palm into his body, seemingly freezing his blood and mana.
"So cold!"
He shivered, but promptly summoned the spiritual fire within, the warmth driving away the cold, transferring into Ling Shuanghua’s body, her frown easing.
Subsequently, Chen Nan mobilized his internal Taiyin power; having helped Yun Ying suppress it before, he knew the effectiveness was limited but still did his utmost.
Unknown how long it took, but the cold gradually dissipated, the Taiyin Reversal had ended, Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief, intending to withdraw, yet unexpectedly Ling Shuanghua caught his wrist.
"Trying to leave after taking undue advantage?" She looked up, grinning at Chen Nan, a peculiar emotion stirring in her eyes.
