Wu Yinuo felt a bit embarrassed after hearing Chen Moxuan's thanks.
"No need to thank me; I just shared what I know," he replied.
Through their time together, Chen Moxuan realized that Wu Yinuo was actually quite innocent. Although she seemed to possess a wealth of experience, he suspected that it was knowledge passed down from the former Heartless Valley Master. At her core, she was a simple person. While she understood concepts like schemes, transactions, and power, they did not resonate with her true nature; she merely acknowledged them without internalizing their implications.
This was evident in how Heartless Valley had been governed under her leadership—essentially a hands-off approach. Of course, the operations of Heartless Valley were largely dictated by the rules set forth by the Rules Spirit. Wu Yinuo was merely a representative chosen by the Rules Spirit. In fact, regarding organizations within Heartless Valley like Guang Tian and Zhe Xian, Wu Yinuo likely only recognized their names from what others had mentioned to her. She probably had no real understanding of their strength or capabilities.
She genuinely had no intention of leveraging her identity as the Heartless Valley Master to control the entire valley. Chen Moxuan found this simplicity admirable. It was akin to those who commit unjust acts yet remain hopelessly devoted to their ideals. Such contradictions did not prevent them from appreciating others who shared similar sentiments.
However, Wu Yinuo's innocence did not equate to foolishness. On the contrary, among those he had encountered, she was quite intelligent and perceptive.
"You don't have to be so reserved around me; just be yourself. I may not be a good person, but I won't harm you," he assured her.
Hearing this made Wu Yinuo shiver involuntarily. Did he guess my identity? No way! I've changed my appearance and aura, and I've never revealed my identity in front of him.
After comforting herself internally, Wu Yinuo managed to calm down.
Chen Moxuan decided to first break through to the fifth layer of the Nine Transformations of Life and Death Technique before continuing his exploration of the underground area.
"I'll absorb some Death Aura for my cultivation; if you find it boring or feel stifled down here, you can go up first," he suggested.
"I understand," she replied.
Once he had given his instructions, he found a spot rich in Death Aura and began his absorption process. After four previous breakthroughs, he was now very familiar with the technique's intricacies. Each breakthrough left his body imbued with the essence of the Life and Death Path, significantly enhancing his resistance to Death Aura.
Given his already robust physique, he absorbed the Death Aura without concern for injury, maximizing his intake. Soon enough, his body was enveloped in a shroud of Death Aura.
Wu Yinuo watched the scene in shock. No wonder his strength was so formidable! Although the Death Aura here made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, she chose to stay and quietly observe. She wanted to be prepared in case anything unexpected happened, so she could protect Chen Moxuan.
As the day passed, Chen Moxuan finally filled his internal acupoints with Death Aura. The acupoints of the Nine Transformations of Life and Death Technique he opened in this layer were larger than those in the previous layer. Moreover, these acupoints were interconnected. Therefore, the deeper he went, the more Death Aura he needed to absorb.
It was also because of Chen Moxuan's courage to delve so deep underground, specifically in a place dense with Death Aura for cultivation. He absorbed the Death Aura without any hesitation, which allowed him to fill his acupoints in just one day. If someone from the Fallen Immortal Organization were to attempt this, they might not even fill the fifth layer of the Nine Transformations of Life and Death Technique in a year!
When Chen Moxuan opened his eyes, he saw Wu Yinuo staring at him wide-eyed. What was she looking at? Did she know that with that expression, she looked like a little fool? She was the real little fool!
Wu Yinuo immediately felt a bit embarrassed. "I was just joking with you; don’t be angry! I’ve absorbed enough Death Aura and am now preparing for a formal breakthrough. It might take two or three days; why don’t you head back to Fu Bo’s courtyard?"
"No way! I’m not going back. You focus on your breakthrough; I won’t disturb you. I’m quite interested in these You Zu skeletons and plan to study them here!"
Chen Moxuan could tell that Wu Yinuo’s second statement was clearly an excuse. However, he didn’t dwell on her lie. Sometimes, lies can be harmful, but at other times, they can also be a virtue! Just like people, there are both good and bad sides. This is also the duality of Dao.
In cultivation, generally speaking, as one's strength increases, certain aspects of human nature tend to diminish. Few can maintain their original sincerity throughout their journey! Chen Moxuan had rarely seen such cultivation.
He considered himself one of those few. This was also part of his Eternal Life; since he couldn’t cultivate at first, he maintained his innocence—one could say he enjoyed life to the fullest! There was also Shao Lanyin, who shared a similar essence.
As the Immortal Emperor, Shao Lanyin possessed immense strength and a wealth of knowledge accumulated over countless years. Yet, she managed to retain her innocence, a rare quality indeed.
Then there was Wu Yinuo. This woman seemed untouched by the outside world, living in her own pure realm. In her presence, aside from the identity he had to conceal, he felt no need for defenses.
“Alright, I’ll begin my breakthrough now!” Chen Moxuan declared. Taking a deep breath, he initiated the clash of Life and Death Qi within him.
Having practiced the Nine Transformations of Life and Death Technique, he had gained a considerable mastery of this secret art. The more he trained, the more he sensed its formidable power. Now that he was attempting to break through to the fifth layer, it was no longer as easy as the previous layers; he had to approach it with caution.
Once he succeeded in this breakthrough, he would reach the highest realm of cultivation since joining the Fallen Immortal Organization! The Life Qi and Death Aura clashed in strands—some dissipated while others merged into a single strand of Life and Death Qi.
This process was tedious and required utmost care. For the Life Qi and Death Aura to merge into Life and Death Qi, it wasn’t merely about collision; it also required him to infuse his spirit into it. Otherwise, he would not succeed or gain mastery over it.
This was a task that consumed both mind and spirit. However, Chen Moxuan’s willpower and mental fortitude were formidable enough to support him through this arduous training.
Time gradually passed. Two days later, Chen Moxuan sensed that the final stage of fusion within his acupoints was approaching. He focused intently.
Finally, the last strand of Life and Death Qi within his acupoint merged successfully. In that moment, he felt a sense of completeness within the fifth acupoint. The Life and Death Qi inside began to evolve into some mysteries of the Life and Death Path!
