Chapter 23: Shen Yu and Bai Daoji are completely destroyed

The mountains and forests are quiet and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

Ye Wange stood in front of a towering ancient tree, looking around.

She had been searching for three hours but still found no trace of Chu Wangchen.

"Is he dead?" she whispered to herself unwillingly.

In the past few days, she received news that Chu Wangchen was seriously injured and fled, and was very likely hiding here.

Chu Wangchen is the Gu King of Southern Xinjiang. Unlike Ye Zhao’s useless disciples, as long as she bribes him with kindness, she can train him into a loyal slave.

She had originally planned to rescue Chu Wangchen while he was weak and then show him kindness, but she didn't expect that despite her calculations, she was still one step too late.

Ye Wange glanced around and realized that continuing to search would only be a waste of time, so she reluctantly withdrew her spiritual sense, tiptoed, and flew back to Xia Ling Peak.

Deep in Xialing Peak, in a quiet room, Shen Yubai sat cross-legged.

He finally refined "The Art of Controlling the Gods" to the second level. Logically, he should have felt a strong spiritual current flowing through his meridians, helping him break through the current bottleneck.

But for some reason, the spiritual energy in his body suddenly surged out of control and rushed towards his dantian like a galloping horse.

"boom!"

A sharp pain came over him, Shen Yubai suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of thick blood.

He only felt that the spiritual sea in his body was like a collapsed dam.

The foundation-building spiritual platform... is broken!

His cultivation level plummeted from the early stage of foundation building to the third level of Qi training!

Feeling that something seemed to have changed in himself, Shen Yubai staggered to his feet, holding on to the wall and stumbling to the bronze mirror.

But the person in the mirror almost scared him to death.

A few shallow wrinkles suddenly appeared on the handsome face of the young man, and a streak of gray was faintly visible at the temples.

"How is this possible? I'm only seventeen!"

Shen Yubai was almost going crazy. He remembered that this "Divine Control Chapter" was a martial art given to him by Ye Wange, and now not only had his cultivation level regressed to the third level of Qi training, but he was also showing signs of aging!

"There's something wrong with that technique...it must be!"

He rushed out of the quiet room and headed straight for the main hall of Xia Ling.

Ye Wange had just stepped into the hall. She looked very unhappy because she didn't find anyone. Unexpectedly, Shen Yubai suddenly rushed up like a madman and blocked her way.

"Fairy Wangyue!" His voice trembled. "What kind of technique is this 'Divine Control' you gave me? I've reached the second level, but not only have I failed to break through, my spiritual platform has collapsed, my cultivation has plummeted, and wrinkles have appeared on my face! What the hell is going on?"

Ye Wange was annoyed by his sudden questioning and was about to drive him away, but then she changed her mind and realized that she didn't expect Shen Yubai to listen to her so much.

In that case, why not...

Ye Wange's eyes narrowed slightly, and a kind smile appeared on her face: "This technique is different from ordinary techniques. It must be practiced together with the mental method, otherwise it will damage the foundation."

She flipped her hand and pulled out a red-covered jade slip, placed it in Shen Yubai's hand, and said in a gentle voice, "This 'The Secret of Conquering the Spirit' is a mental method that complements the 'Divine Control Chapter'. I originally planned to teach it to you after your cultivation was stable, but now is the perfect time to give it to you in advance."

"Oh yes, if you want, you can take me as your master."

Shen Yubai was extremely surprised and quickly took over the mental method.

Ye Wange took out a small white jade bottle and handed it to him: "These pills can help you practice. As long as you take them, your appearance will be restored to its original state."

Shen Yubai's eyes flushed red, and he knelt down without hesitation, respectfully performing the ceremony of paying homage to his master: "Disciple Shen Yubai, I pay my respects to the Master!"

Ye Wange lowered her head to support him, the smile on her lips deepening: "Good disciple, you are my most valued disciple. As long as you practice well, you will definitely reach the top of the avenue in the future."

"Um!"

Shen Yubai had no doubt that he could reach the top of the avenue. In his previous life, he was a disciple of that loser Ye Zhao and was able to enter the realm of transformation.

Now that I have been reborn, with the experience of my previous life and the fairy Wangyue as my master, why should I worry about not being able to enter the state of transformation as soon as possible?

Chen Yubai was deeply moved. When he left with the mental method and elixir, he planned to practice now!

Ye Wange stood there, her eyes turning from gentle to cold, her fingertips gently stroked the jade pot on the table, and she sneered.

"It's so easy to deceive."

The so-called "True Art of Capturing the Soul" was an evil skill that she had obtained from the Wan Gu Sect. As long as one cultivated it to the fourth level, one could completely transform a person into a puppet.

This mental method is neither difficult nor easy to practice. The simplicity lies in the fact that the practice formulas are very simple and even a fool can learn it. The difficulty lies in the fact that unless the person who is cursed is really a fool, he will definitely not cooperate with the caster.

So she has never used it over the years. She didn't expect Shen Yubai to be so stupid.

It seems that she might as well pass this method on to Pei Yan and Yun Yao, so that she can have three puppets at the same time...

"Once I've refined you all into puppets, I'll be able to fuse you into the cauldron to help me reach the Nascent Soul stage..." Greed flashed in Ye Wange's eyes, "And you're still so obsessed with gratitude to me. Ha, how ridiculous."

The other side.

Qingyue Peak Inner Hall

It was afternoon, and the sunlight shone through the glazed jade tiles on the eaves, reflecting colorful soft light, and the hall was quiet.

Ye Zhao sat cross-legged, the spiritual energy around her rising and falling like the tide, and she focused on regulating her breathing and refining her mind.

In fact, her talent was far superior to Ye Wange's, and she had received many opportunities in her previous life, but she missed them for various reasons.

It’s like the ancient cave in the Tianyan Secret Realm.

At that time, she was amazed just by taking a look at the cave. However, after Chu Wangchen controlled her, he searched inside for three whole days and filled more than twenty storage bags.

As a result, Ye Wange's cultivation level soared, and in just a few years, it reached a level that was beyond her reach.

So this time she must make good plans. With the lessons of her previous life, she will no longer trust anyone, not even Su Luoxue... She wants to hold everything firmly in her own hands. Tianyan Secret Realm is the starting point for her to move towards the great road.

Now, all she had to do was seize every minute and every second to improve her abilities as much as possible before entering the secret realm.

After several days of hard training, her cultivation had improved a lot.

The gap between him and Ye Wange is getting smaller and smaller.

Suddenly, a breath of air passed through the mountain gate barrier.

Ye Zhao opened his eyes and saw a figure in green walking in. It was the sect leader Xie Youran.

Ye Zhao stood up slightly and asked, "I wonder what important matter has brought you here, Sect Master?"

Xie Youran smiled and said, "To be honest with Master Ye Feng, I came here for only one person."

Ye Zhao already had some guesses in his mind, "Is it for Su Luoxue?"

Xie Youran nodded, speaking in a gentle voice, "This girl has already successfully established her foundation at the age of fifteen, and now she has the potential to break through to the middle stage of foundation building. She is truly a talent that my Sword Sect rarely encounters in a century."

He paused for a moment, then turned to a tentative tone. "With such talent, if he is carefully taught, he will surely achieve great things in the future. I intend to accept him as my personal disciple and train him with all my strength."
