37: Obtain the Heaven-Defying Yin-Yang Secret

The North Liang King looked at Cao Nie in horror.

He had actually encountered the most terrifying dual cultivation fiend.

It seemed his attainments in array formations were not low.

"Cao Nie, you can't use all the nine nether dark iron you have. How about giving me half?"

After learning that Cao Nie possessed a cultivation of the third layer of the Gui Xu Realm,

Luoshen Yin's initial disdain for Cao Nie vanished.

This was a fiend even more terrifying than her; even if her true body were here, she would not be his match.

Cao Nie weighed the nine nether dark iron in his hand, appraising Luoshen Yin's exquisite figure.

"If you promise to bear me a son, I'll give you half."

Luoshen Yin's cheeks flushed.

This Cao Nie, had he never seen a woman before?

He tried to seduce everyone he met.

"Pah, you scoundrel." If she couldn't defeat Cao Nie, she would have already snatched it.

"Cao Nie, give me half, and Heaven Sword Manor will owe you a favor."

"You can't even defeat me, why would I want your favor?"

"My master is the Manor Lord of Heaven Sword Manor, and also a Dao Domain Lord, a powerful expert of the Asking Dao Realm. Are you sure you don't want this favor?"

"How about this: you go back and have your mistress come talk to me. If we can reach an agreement, I'll even give your mistress the entire piece of nine nether dark iron."

Seeing that Cao Nie wouldn't budge,

Luoshen Yin reached directly for the nine nether dark iron in Cao Nie's hand.

Cao Nie's eyes turned cold, and he swung the nine nether dark iron at Luoshen Yin.

With a "bang," that wisp of Luoshen Yin's primordial spirit was directly shattered.

In the air, Luoshen Yin's exasperated voice echoed: "Cao Nie, you just wait. Soon, my Heaven Sword Manor will descend upon the Azure Vast Dao Domain."

Cao Nie put away the nine nether dark iron.

He had coincidentally heard of Heaven Sword Manor.

It seemed to be in the Southern Dipper Dao Domain, hundreds of Dao Domains away from the Azure Vast Dao Domain.

By the time she brought people, Cao Nie's cultivation would have reached who knew what level.

He wasn't afraid of her Heaven Sword Manor.

Cao Nie walked over to the potted plant.

Information about the fruits immediately appeared before his eyes.

The white fruits were Yin Fruits, and the black fruits were Yang Fruits.

After consumption by men and women, they would greatly benefit cultivation.

Cao Nie began to use his methods to unlock the restriction.

["Detected Zhao Ling Shuang with a comprehensive rating of ninety-two. Host, please make the following choice:"]

["Choice One: Have Zhao Ling Shuang take you to the Lingxiao Emperor to admit your mistakes, and tell the Lingxiao Emperor that Su Yunxia and Lingxi are both pregnant with my child. Reward: ten high-grade spiritual veins."]

["Choice Two: You consume the Yang Fruit, and Zhao Ling Shuang consumes the Yin Fruit. Conquer her and ascend to ultimate bliss. Reward: Heaven-Defying Yin-Yang Art."]

["Choice Three: Give the obtained nine nether dark iron to Zhao Ling Shuang and become her lapdog. Reward: Thirty-Six Techniques of Licking."]

Having supreme-grade spiritual veins already, Cao Nie truly didn't care for high-grade spiritual veins.

Being a lapdog was out of the question.

If anyone was going to be a lapdog, it would be Zhao Ling Shuang for him.

"System, can one person cultivate two cultivation techniques simultaneously?"

["The Heaven-Defying Yin-Yang Art is an auxiliary cultivation technique; it can be cultivated."]

"Alright then, I choose Two."

["Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Heaven-Defying Yin-Yang Art."]

The North Liang King recovered from his shock.

He saw that Cao Nie was about to unlock the restriction on the potted plant.

He could no longer remain calm.

This item was a rare find; he had obtained this Yin-Yang Tree at eighteen, and it only bore fruit just before he died. Seeing all his life's efforts taken by Cao Nie, he was furious.

"Boy, stop at once!"

The North Liang King launched a primordial spirit attack towards Cao Nie.

Cao Nie scoffed: "North Liang King, this wisp of your primordial spirit can't even possess a body, yet you still want to use a primordial spirit attack on me. Isn't that a bit too fanciful?"

Cao Nie ignored him and continued to unlock the restriction.

The North Liang King was greatly alarmed.

His primordial spirit attack was like a stone sinking into the sea, not stirring a single ripple.

"Alright, finished."

Cao Nie put the Yin-Yang Tree into the system space.

This treasure tree could be transplanted to the Listening Rain Pavilion.

Seeing his life's painstaking effort disappear,

The North Liang King angrily said: "Boy, hand over the Yin-Yang Tree and the nine nether dark iron. These things belong to my inheritor."

Cao Nie took out the nine nether dark iron and slowly walked towards the North Liang King.

"You mentioning it almost made me forget. Hand over your inheritance. Don't force me to use reason to persuade you."

The North Liang King was so angry his face turned red and his neck swelled.

When he was alive, he would meet those seniors who chose inheritors with utmost respect.

Unlike Cao Nie.

So audacious, even daring to force him to hand over his inheritance.

"You want me to hand over my inheritance? Only over my dead body."

"Then go die."

Cao Nie didn't say another word.

The power of gods and demons covered the nine nether dark iron.

He raised it and smashed it towards the North Liang King's head.

Feeling this terrifying power, the North Liang King quickly begged: "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!"

With a "bang."

The arrogant North Liang King, croaked!

"Actually, I knew where your inheritance was without you telling me."

Cao Nie put away the nine nether dark iron and struck the North Liang King's skeleton with a palm.

The skeleton instantly turned into dust.

A red light cluster appeared where the skeleton had been.

Cao Nie raised his hand and sucked, grasping the red light cluster in his hand.

"What a pity, most of the energy has been lost."

Cao Nie sensed it, feeling a bit regretful.

It had already degraded this much in a few hundred years.

It was truly difficult for powerful experts to leave behind inheritances.

"Ling Shuang, I have a sweet fruit here. Do you want to eat it?"

At the entrance of the main hall.

Hearing the voice from behind,

Zhao Ling Shuang shot out of the main hall with a "whoosh."

In the gloomy corridor, Zhao Ling Shuang ran with all her might.

She had originally thought that with the North Liang King attracting Cao Nie's attention,

She could escape from here.

Who knew she was still discovered.

Looking at the stone door within reach,

Zhao Ling Shuang rejoiced.

As long as she got out of the stone door,

If she removed the token, the stone door would close.

Even if it couldn't trap Cao Nie, it would buy her time.

As long as she escaped from here,

If she exposed Cao Nie to the Lingxiao Emperor, he would surely die.

Imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

Just a second before she was about to step out of the stone door,

Cao Nie's figure appeared in front of the stone door like a flash.

"Ling Shuang, trying to escape from a Gui Xu Realm expert, you're thinking a bit too fancifully."

"Who allowed you to call me Ling Shuang? Get lost!" Zhao Ling Shuang drew her long sword and thrust it at Cao Nie.

Cao Nie dodged to the side, then swung a whip kick into Zhao Ling Shuang's abdomen.

With a "clang," the long sword slipped from Zhao Ling Shuang's hand, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

Her delicate body flashed through the corridor, crashing into the magnificent main hall.

Cao Nie raised his hand and shattered the token with a palm, and the stone door behind him crashed down.

In the main hall, Zhao Ling Shuang saw this scene, and a look of despair flashed in her eyes.

With her strength, she was completely unable to break through the stone door's defense.

Listening to the footsteps coming from the corridor,

Zhao Ling Shuang struggled to get up. She wiped the blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth and quickly looked around for any possible escape routes.

To her despair, the entire hall was sealed, with no place to escape.

Just at this moment,

Cao Nie stepped into the main hall.

He was still holding the Yin Fruit in his hand.

"Ling Shuang, if you eat this, I will also impart a peerless cultivation technique to you, allowing your cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds."

Zhao Ling Shuang retreated.

This thing, placed with that Hedonistic Cultivation Art, clearly wasn't anything good.

She absolutely couldn't eat it.

"Cao Nie, if you let me go, I can take you out of the Lingxiao Immortal Dynasty. Otherwise, when I get out, you will surely die."

Cao Nie brought the Yin Fruit in front of Zhao Ling Shuang and earnestly asked: "Eat it, and I'll let you go."

"No."

Zhao Ling Shuang suddenly turned her face away, her hair swinging in a stubborn arc.

Slap!

A crisp slap echoed in the silence.

Zhao Ling Shuang's face was slapped to the side, and vivid red finger marks immediately appeared on her fair skin.

Cao Nie pinched her chin, forcing her to turn back, and coldly asked: "Eat or not?"
