398: A leaf can block the view!

The Cultivation Technique "Great Ode of Intertwined Yin and Yang" is extremely unique.

It was originally a profound Dual Cultivation method called "Great Compassion Ode to the Intertwining of Heaven, Earth, Yin, and Yang," which focused on the harmony of Yin and Yang and the convergence of Dragon and Phoenix to collectively seek the Great Dao.

However, the ancestor of the Lin family was a brilliant master of musical rhythm. After obtaining this Cultivation Technique, he felt that many of its aspects were commendable and complemented the Dao of Music perfectly.

Thus, he spent a great deal of effort to adapt it, resulting in the later "Great Ode of Intertwined Yin and Yang."

This Cultivation Technique does not require Dual Cultivation; it can trigger the mysterious Concept of the harmony between Yin and Yang through the Dao of Music!

When cultivated to a high level, it can even forcibly trigger and interfere with the target's Yin and Yang balance through musical rhythm, achieving the terrifying effects of "Reversing Yin and Yang" and altering one's "Dragon-like grace and phoenix-like character."

Simply put, it can reverse the gender of living beings!

Naturally, Lin Qingge did not intend to reverse her own gender.

She took a different approach, utilizing the mysterious dao rhyme of "Yin and Yang in Chaos, blurred boundaries" simulated by the technique to influence the Seven Emotions Sub-Gu within her body.

The Seven Emotions Sub-Gu itself has no Concept of gender, but it is born to like and pursue clear and intense "desires."

Furthermore, it is not a Mother Gu. Under the strange state of "Yin and Yang imbalance" created by the "Great Ode of Intertwined Yin and Yang," the Sub-Gu's perception and preference for "desires" would undergo subtle confusion.

Simply put, it makes the Sub-Gu unable to figure out what it actually likes or what kind of desires it should absorb.

This cannot eradicate the Sub-Gu, nor can it stop it from absorbing desires to grow, but it can suppress and delay the Sub-Gu's growth rate and activity to the greatest extent.

This was to buy more time for Lin Qingge to find a way to resolve the issue completely!

Every time she went out to accompany guests, it was not for pleasure or Spirit Stones.

Her true purpose was to secretly circulate her Cultivation Technique while using musical rhythm to suppress the Sub-Gu, triggering and absorbing the relatively pure "Primordial Yang" power from the other party.

A male Cultivator's "Primordial Yang" power is essentially the condensation of life essence and Yang-harmony Qi.

For Lin Qingge, who Cultivated the "Great Ode of Intertwined Yin and Yang" and needed to maintain a subtle Yin and Yang balance to suppress the Sub-Gu, this was an excellent "supplement" and "auxiliary fuel."

Absorbing this Primordial Yang power not only enhanced her own cultivation but also strengthened her suppression of the Seven Emotions Sub-Gu.

It gave her an extra measure of power for self-protection and maneuvering in such a perilous situation.

This was the real reason why she, a Golden Core female Cultivator, did not hesitate to hide her identity and even endure humiliation to play the role of a "Top Beauty" in the Lanyue Pavilion.

Every seemingly ordinary accompaniment was, for her, an act of self-rescue!

However, this sort of thing couldn't be overdone; if a male Cultivator's Primordial Yang was severely depleted and his dao foundation was damaged, it would inevitably cause trouble.

Moreover, although the Seven Emotions Sub-Gu did not possess the intelligence of a Mother Gu, it still had an instinctive sense of crisis.

If she acted too hastily, it would likely alert the enemy, and uncontrollable events might occur.

Therefore, Lin Qingge could only endure through a long period, slowly grinding away the vitality of the Seven Emotions Sub-Gu within her body; it was nothing short of a prolonged war of attrition.

Yet, although a Golden Core True Person enjoys a five-hundred-year Lifespan, which seems long, it cannot withstand such endless internal depletion and daily fear, as if walking on thin ice.

Perhaps one day she would break free from her cage, only to find that the world outside had long since changed beyond recognition.

Her enemies might have already ascended to a higher Realm or perished in the passage of time; with everything changed, she might not even find the targets of her revenge.

Not to mention, the Six Desires Demonic Sect was a Grotto-Heaven Grade power that ruled over a region, with a Nascent Soul Demonic Lord presiding over it.

Even if she were lucky enough to reach Golden Core Perfection, she would be nothing more than a slightly larger ant before a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

How could seeking revenge be easy? The hope was so incredibly slim!

Whenever she thought of this, Lin Qingge felt the path ahead was dark, and her Dao Heart was clouded.

Only her deep-seated family vendetta and the will to survive, like a candle in the dark, supported her and kept her from completely collapsing.

Although her heart was filled with sorrow, Lin Qingge's hands did not stop.

The zither music was resonant, clear, and melodious, faintly manifesting illusory visions of soaring Dragons and dancing Phoenixes.

Amidst the intertwining spiritual light, they circled around her and Lu Ming, creating an enchanting scene.

This vision of Dragon and Phoenix was the manifestation of the "Great Ode of Intertwined Yin and Yang" operating at a certain level, aimed at triggering and stealing the target's Primordial Yang Qi.

However, after playing for a moment, Lin Qingge keenly noticed something was wrong.

"How could it take this long without any reaction?"

With her Early Golden Core Stage cultivation and her secret techniques, extracting the Primordial Yang Qi of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator should have been an instantaneous and natural process.

She had been momentarily immersed in her own sorrowful emotions and hadn't noticed the time, but now, by a rough estimate, at least the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed.

Yet, she did not feel even a fraction of Primordial Yang power feeding back to her!

It was like a stone sinking into the sea, leaving no trace.

Lin Qingge, acting as Du Sanniang, felt her heart skip a beat as an ominous premonition instantly enveloped her.

Her originally cold and beautiful eyes immediately looked at the man close at hand.

In the next instant, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and the hair on her body stood on end.

The cold expression she had been maintaining could no longer be held, turning entirely into shock and disbelief!

She saw that the "Foundation Establishment Cultivator" across from her, who should have been deep in an illusion, was now watching her with eyes as clear as a mirror.

That gaze was calm and rippleless, devoid of joy or sorrow; those deep eyes seemed to possess the power to see through everything, making her feel as though all her disguises and secrets were laid bare!

"You..."

Lin Qingge's red lips parted slightly, her voice dry and tight. She wanted to say something, but found her throat seemingly seized by an invisible hand, unable to utter a complete syllable.

Because, at the very moment she was startled, Lu Ming's right hand had already risen.

His index finger pointed out; the movement didn't seem fast, yet it appeared to break through the limitations of time and space. Before she could make any reaction at all, it lightly touched the Ancestral Aperture at the center of her brow.

[A Leaf Obscuring the Vision]!

This was a minor Divine Ability Lu Ming had developed by combining it with the Karma Concealment Veil; it was a Cognitive Barrier that acted on the level of perception.

In an instant, Lin Qingge felt her Divine Soul as if it had been cast into a boundless fog of Chaos. Her five senses were scrambled, her thoughts stagnated, and her perception of the outside world was completely obscured and distorted.

Her expression instantly became vacant, her eyes unfocused, and her pupils rolled up slightly, while even her small tongue unconsciously peeked out a little.

Her whole body froze in place, as if a freezing spell had been cast upon her.

"Hmph, bold enchantress. How can your meager illusions and enchanting sounds be compared to the true mysteries of Karma?"

Lu Ming withdrew his finger and sneered as he looked at the blurred and dazed appearance of the woman before him.

Had he not confirmed through his previous calculations that this woman harbored no actual malice toward him, that finger would not have been [A Leaf Obscuring the Vision], but a killing move that would have directly pierced her skull.
