772: Enter the inner courtyard

Yang Lingchen looked at Huang Ruoyu, then at Yun Mengyao, and suddenly had an idea, "My stomach is feeling a bit uncomfortable, you two chat."

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, his figure turned into a streak of white light and disappeared from the spot.

Things had developed to this point and were already completely out of his control; if he continued to stay here, things would only get worse.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Yun Mengyao, Huang Ruoyu, you are both peerless beauties who could topple cities, is it worth fighting to the death over a scumbag?"

Just then, Qiao Yanxi walked over, "Let me tell you, this kid is not just an ordinary scumbag; he only does shady things behind people's backs. Back then, he was bragging about wanting to get me and Sister Tiantian, but turned around and hooked up with Yun Mengyao. Do you think a man like this is worth entrusting your life to?"

Having rarely encountered such a good opportunity, Qiao Yanxi naturally would not let go of this chance to sow discord.

"Qiao Yanxi, it is not your place to sow discord regarding our affairs. The fact that Yang Lingchen was able to walk down from the ninety-ninth floor is enough to prove his excellence. Today you disparage him in every way, but one day he will grow to a height you can only look up to."

Yun Mengyao snorted coldly and turned to walk downwards.

"Even if he is a scumbag, I still like him." After Huang Ruoyu finished speaking, she also followed and walked down.

"Hopeless, what is so good about this Yang Lingchen? You will regret this later." Qiao Yanxi said angrily.

"They will not regret it. Yang Lingchen's talent is enough to cover up all his shortcomings."

A gleam of light flashed in Ji Tiantian's eyes, and she said, "You also heard what Yun Mengyao said just now; Yang Lingchen walked down from the ninety-ninth floor. If this matter is true, then his talent is truly terrifying."

"I don't believe he can compare to Baili Jianyun." Qiao Yanxi said coquettishly.

"There is no comparison between the two of them. Baili Jianyun has the Canglan Immortal Dynasty behind him and has been raised as a crown prince since childhood; the resources and training he has received are unimaginable."

Ji Tiantian spoke up, "In contrast, Yang Lingchen not only lacks a powerful background but also has to face various crises at all times. That he has been able to make it to today shows just how abundant his Luck is."

"If Baili Jianyun's background were the same as his, his current strength might not necessarily be better than his."

"Sister Tiantian, it seems you have also suffered from Qi Deviation." Qiao Yanxi patted her forehead and said, "What kind of magic does this kid have?"

...

"Strange, where is everyone?"

After walking out of the Immortal Spirit Pagoda, Yang Lingchen looked around with a puzzled expression. He did not expect the Immortal Spirit Pagoda, which was usually bustling with people, to be so quiet today.

Subsequently, he left the Immortal Spirit Pagoda and walked all the way towards the Inner Court Examination Hall. Now that his cultivation level had reached the Earth Immortal Realm Fourth Layer, he naturally had to go and take the examination for the status of an Inner Court Disciple.

Only by becoming an Inner Court Disciple could his safety be guaranteed within Tianxin Academy.

In order not to expose his true cultivation level, Yang Lingchen used the concealment of the yellow springs diagram to display his cultivation level at the Earth Immortal Realm First Layer.

Of course, the concealment of the yellow springs diagram was also limited; when he encountered someone who was two major Realms higher than him, his cultivation level would be revealed completely.

Very quickly, Yang Lingchen arrived at the Inner Court Examination Hall.

"Senior, this Junior is here to take the examination for an Inner Court Disciple."

Yang Lingchen walked to the Inner Court examination registration desk and bowed respectfully.

"Where is your Outer Court Identity Token?" An aged voice rang out, and a White-Haired Elder slowly raised his head.

"It is here!" Yang Lingchen hurriedly handed over his Identity Token.

After the White-Haired Elder took Yang Lingchen's Identity Token, he looked at Yang Lingchen carefully again, nodded, and said, "Not bad, your cultivation level is qualified. Wait a moment, I will make an Identity Token for you."

About a quarter of an hour later, the White-Haired Elder raised his head again and said, "This is your Inner Court Identity Token; it records your Inner Court class as well as your residence."

"Thank you, Senior." Yang Lingchen thanked him and then respectfully took the Identity Token.

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen walked all the way towards his Inner Court residence.

The treatment of an Inner Court Disciple and an Outer Court Disciple in Tianxin Academy was as different as heaven and earth.

Inner Court Disciples not only possessed independent small courtyards, but all sorts of treatment were also far superior to that of Outer Court Disciples.

Yang Lingchen's residence was a small courtyard with an elegant environment; although this small courtyard was not very big, it was at least independent.

Yang Lingchen was quite fond of this small courtyard; at least when Cultivating inside it, he would no longer have to be as cautious as he was in the Outer Court.

After tidying up his residence, Yang Lingchen moved in.

In the days that followed, Yang Lingchen remained in the haotian jade space, studying the Cultivation Technique, the Soul Devouring Saint Demon Art.

"Damn, this is too cruel!"

A look of shock appeared in Yang Lingchen's eyes.

Through the memory of the incantations of the Soul Devouring Saint Demon Art, Yang Lingchen knew that to Cultivate the Soul Devouring Saint Demon Art, one needed to devour a large number of Souls; only in this way could one rapidly strengthen their cultivation level.

Theoretically speaking, the more people devoured, and the higher the cultivation level of the person being devoured, the faster his cultivation level would increase.

Intuition told Yang Lingchen that Cultivating this Cultivation Technique would very likely make a person lose themselves and eventually become the public enemy of the entire Myriad Heavens Immortal Realm.

Because using other people's Souls to Cultivate was simply too fast; ordinary people could not resist such a huge temptation. And once one lost themselves, they would become a complete demonic cultivator, and at that point, they would likely become a Devil Head who recognized no kin and killed anyone they saw.

"Should I Cultivate it or not?"

"Are you stupid? Of course you should Cultivate it, otherwise how will you take revenge on Yang Haotian?"

"But if I Cultivate this thing, I will very likely be completely lost and become a complete killing machine."

"You have come all this way, what kind of temptation have you not seen? Could it be that you have so little confidence in your own willpower? Hurry up and Cultivate it! With such a Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique, as long as you Cultivate it, you can rule the entire Myriad Heavens Immortal Realm."

"Alright then, I will give it a try."

Yang Lingchen felt that two different voices had suddenly appeared in his mind; one urging him to Cultivate, and the other not wanting to.

In the end, Yang Lingchen still could not resist the temptation and began to study it seriously.

Half an hour later, Yang Lingchen had thoroughly read through the Soul Devouring Saint Demon Art. At this moment, he felt a restless urge in his heart to find someone to devour.

"No, this thing is too sinister; I must find a way to restrain these conflicts, otherwise something will go wrong sooner or later." Yang Lingchen said to himself internally.

He had only read it once and already wanted to find someone to devour; if he were to devour his first Soul, he would definitely become addicted in the future.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen fell into deep thought.

"Eh, why did I forget about the Undying Golden Body Art?"

"The Undying Golden Body Art is a supreme Yang Cultivation Technique; if I use this Cultivation Technique to protect my original heart, perhaps I can suppress the influence the Soul Devouring Saint Demon Art has on me."

Yang Lingchen suddenly realized, and immediately hurriedly began to circulate the Undying Golden Body Art.
