Yun Wei, panting heavily, sat cross-legged on the futon again.
Then close your eyes and concentrate.
A moment later, his expression grew even more grim.
Because he was overwhelmed by anger and his spiritual energy was reversed, he has now fallen to a lower realm.
He dropped from the first level of the Transformation Realm to the eighth level of the Core Formation Realm.
It seems to have only three minor levels.
However, there are major advancements between these realms.
Advancing to a higher realm is not as easy as advancing to a lower realm.
With his cultivation level at the Transformation Realm, plus the set of spiritual techniques he had obtained from the secret realm as a trump card, he was still somewhat confident.
After all, that set of spiritual techniques can be used in cross-border battles.
But now, they've actually fallen to a lower realm.
How can we even attempt to enter the pavilion then?
If we don't try to break into the pavilion, are we really willing to be a member of a collateral branch of the clan?
At that time, cultivation resources will be greatly reduced.
They will no longer receive the attention of the elders in the clan.
The underlings who used to run errands for him will now turn around and fawn over others.
Without cultivation resources, his cultivation progress will gradually fall behind.
Wouldn't we just blend into the crowd then?
Moreover, without any special achievements, he probably would never be able to return to the main lineage in his lifetime.
Just thinking about it made Yunwei break out in a cold sweat.
No, he would never become a member of a collateral branch of the clan.
If we can break into the pavilion...
Yun Wei pursed his lips tightly, his hands gripping the futon beneath him so tightly that his knuckles turned bluish-white.
He is now like someone who has been forced into a dead end.
The road ahead is blocked, and the road behind is cut off.
He couldn't think of a solution, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing with anxiety.
Just then, an old voice rang in Yun Wei's ears: "Little boy, are you in trouble?"
"Who?" Yun Wei suddenly looked up, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily.
The spiritual energy around him surged and spread like a tide, probing.
However, nothing unusual was found.
"You can't see me," the aged voice continued.
"Come out!" Yun Wei stood up, summoned a spirit sword, and said sternly, "Hiding your head and tail, sneaking around like this, what kind of hero are you?"
"I am right in front of you, you just can't see me." The aged voice seemed to be right next to his ear.
Yun Wei immediately swung his spirit sword and thrust it towards the source of the sound.
But it only pierced a wisp of air.
Yun Wei frowned and swung his spirit sword again. The sword energy intertwined like a net, shattering the tables, chairs, and beds in his room into pieces.
The place was a complete mess.
"Little child, don't bother, you can't see me or touch me." The old voice continued to ring in his ears.
Yun Wei narrowed his eyes, put one hand behind his back, and took out a communication talisman from his storage ring.
Since we can't beat them, we should quickly send a message for help.
only……
Yun Wei had just cast a hand seal to use the communication talisman when he felt a burning pain in his fingertips the next second.
The pain was so intense he almost jumped up and down.
The communication talisman failed to transmit the message and instead spontaneously combusted.
Yun Wei discarded the communication talisman, summoned several more magical weapons, and unleashed several powerful moves in quick succession without hesitation.
Since we can't send a message for help, we can only make a bigger commotion.
That will naturally alarm the clan leader and elders.
Yun Wei's spiritual techniques are all quite powerful, but they also consume a lot of spiritual energy.
After those powerful moves, Yun Wei was almost completely exhausted.
He leaned against a pillar, sweating profusely, with a long spear planted in front of him, supporting his swaying body.
"You want to alarm Yun Yue and the others?" The aged voice suddenly laughed.
"I forgot to tell you earlier that I have sealed off your room with spiritual power. Even if you tear this place down, no one outside will be able to sense it at all."
"Also, there's no need to waste communication talismans; it's just a waste of effort."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei's eyes widened suddenly, and beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead: "You, who exactly are you?"
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you," the aged voice continued, "because I am also a member of the Yun family."
"A member of the Yun family?" Yun Wei asked, pursing his lips. "Do you dare to give your name?"
"Yun Can," the aged voice replied.
"Yun Can?" Yun Wei was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "Never heard of him."
He was from the main branch of the Yun family, and he had met all the powerful figures in the clan.
But I've never heard of this name before.
This person's cultivation level is very high; he shouldn't be some nobody, right?
But I really don't remember it.
"Of course you haven't heard of it," Yun Can said calmly. "Because you weren't even born when I died."
"What did you say?" Yun Wei's eyes widened, and he looked around nervously.
“I said I’m already dead, so you can’t see me,” Yun Can said.
"Dead, dead?" Yun Wei gripped the spear tightly. "If you're dead, how can you still speak?"
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out.
Once you're dead, you're dead; everything ceases to exist.
How could it still be able to speak?
If you're going to lie, at least come up with a better excuse.
“You are still young and know too little about this world. It’s normal that you don’t know many things,” Yun Can said. “I really am Yun Can, a former elder of the Yun family. I have been dead for over a thousand years. If you don’t believe me, you can go back and check the family genealogy. Then you’ll know that I’m not lying.”
"Then open the spiritual energy barrier, and I'll go investigate now," Yun Wei said, leaning against the pillar behind him.
"You do have some cleverness." Yun Can smiled. "You can open it, but let me finish what I have to say first."
"Then hurry up and tell me," Yun Wei urged.
It's very unpleasant and unsettling to have someone right next to you, but not be able to see them at all.
"Back then, I died after venturing into the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion," Yun Can said directly.
"The Pavilion of Nine Deaths and One Life?" Yun Wei's pupils suddenly contracted: "You, why did you break into the Pavilion of Nine Deaths and One Life? What realm were you at the time?"
"And why did you choose to venture into the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion?" Yun Can countered.
Yun Wei pursed his lips and did not answer.
“I’m the same as you, I want to rebel because of the injustice within the clan,” Yun Can continued.
These words seemed to strike a chord deep within Yun Wei's heart.
He couldn't help but shudder.
"As for the cultivation level..." Yun Can paused, then said, "Peak of the third level of the Half-Step Immortal Realm..."
"How is this possible?" Yun Wei exclaimed in disbelief.
"Why do you think it's impossible?" Yun Can asked in return.
"When Elder Yun Tong challenged the pavilion, she was only at the Creation Realm. Although she was seriously injured and on the verge of death, she successfully made it through," Yun Wei said urgently.
If someone can overcome the Creation Realm, how could someone at the Half-Step Immortal Realm possibly die inside?
“It seems you don’t know much about the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion,” Yun Can said.
"What do you mean by that?" Yun Wei asked, frowning.
