Chapter 297: Everything is for Cultivation!

As her words fell, Yun Miaozhen's face was resolute.

She was the favored daughter of the Yun family, had received instruction from True Person Xiuxin, cultivated the "Heartless Ice Sword Art," and forged an ice-cold, heartless sword heart.

This method emphasizes supreme heartlessness; the sword is like an ice heart.

"To cultivate this technique, one must possess the supreme resolve of heartlessness; all familial love, romantic love, and friendship are obstacles to my sword draw."

"If I cannot even sever the bond of affection with my own younger sister..."

"... how can one speak of heartlessness?"

As Yun Miaozhen thought this, she even felt that if she did not do this, she would not be truly heartless; not only would cultivation be impossible, but it would actually hinder her Dao heart!

Seeing her so resolute, True Person Xiuxin nodded in satisfaction; this True Person's appearance was equally exquisite, her expression as cold as Yun Miaozhen's, yet adding a touch of dignity and maturity, like a snow mountain that never melts, difficult to approach, one could observe from afar but not play with.

"Truly worthy of being my disciple."

"Since that is the case, I shall act for you, binding and dividing the fate of you two sisters; fortune shall be yours, disaster hers, thus fulfilling the sisterly bond between you."

"Thank you, Master."

Yun Miaozhen bowed again, her heart slightly stirred; with Master's intervention, she could transfer all the disasters destined for her to her sister, enjoying the fortune alone.

From then on, her cultivation would surely advance a thousand li in a single day.

At the same time, this was also a good thing for her younger sister Yun Miaoqing; after all, her fortune was insufficient, lacking a good foundation and past life like her own.

"Once Miaoqing enters the Mo Sect to bear the disasters for me, if she can return in the future, I will surely have achieved cultivation success by then, perfectly compensating her for ten years of suffering; this is the karmic connection of bitterness ending and sweetness beginning. At that time, even without a foundation or past life, I will help her secure a cultivation future."

"Even if she dies in the Mo Sect, it is merely a matter of turning over a new life."

"By then, I should have reached Foundation Establishment; I can go to welcome her. As the sister of a Foundation Establishment True Person, she will then truly possess a foundation."

In this way, would it not be perfect for both?

"Although Miaoqing might not understand, it is because her cultivation is insufficient and her Dao heart is not firm; as an elder sister, I ought to secure a future for her."

Thinking this, Yun Miaozhen became even more indifferent.

This is the Yushu Jiange; without a foundation, one cannot move a single step; after all, who is it that has a Foundation Establishment Master? This is simply the karmic connection she was born with.

If Miaoqing had karmic connections, she could find a patron too.

"By the way, Master."

Thinking this, Yun Miaozhen continued: "This time, Miaoqing obtained a spiritual sword embryo within the manor; please retrieve it for me later, Master."

"After all, Miaoqing is about to depart for the Mo Sect; it is not good for her to carry such a superior sword embryo. If it falls into the hands of those demons, would it not embolden them? It is better for Master to retrieve it, and I will keep it in safekeeping. If Miaoqing can return in ten years, I will personally hand it back to her."

True Person Xiuxin nodded: "Good."

"That you possess such a Dao heart brings great comfort to my heart. Since the sword embryo was obtained by your own sister, it is surely your karmic connection and should be used by you."

Having spoken, she released her divine sense, sweeping toward the distant Yun Miaoqing.

Then they heard a long sigh:

"Beast!"

As the words fell, this Foundation Establishment early-stage Yushu Jiange True Person's expression suddenly changed; she abruptly stood up, furrowing her embroidered brows as she scrutinized the surrounding environment.

"Master?" Yun Miaozhen had not yet reacted.

After all, this completely exceeded the realm of Qi Refining; True Person Xiuxin had no mind to reply, and with a thought, a magnificent sword pill appeared in her palm.

"Break!"

The next second, sword light slashed out; this time, even Yun Miaozhen could see something was wrong, for that beam of sword light simply vanished in mid-air.

How could this be?

For a moment, Yun Miaozhen felt as if she were in a dream, lost in clouds and mist; looking down, she discovered that a version of herself with the same appearance had appeared on the ground.

"Is this me?"

"No... this is my body!"

"Then am I the soul?"

Only then did Yun Miaozhen realize that at some unknown time, her soul had been extracted; she immediately turned back to seek help from her Master, True Person Xiuxin, but saw a scene even more terrifying: her Master, the Foundation Establishment True Person Xiuxin, was now also having her soul extracted!

The Dharma Body is profound; 【Total Subjugation】!

The next second, this master and disciple pair saw a tall figure.

The person wore a black robe, standing with hands behind his back; behind him stood a towering phantom image of three heads and six arms, with a green face and fangs, staring straight at them.

"... A Foundation Establishment Demon!"

True Person Xiuxin's eyes instantly widened; she felt a chill rush straight to her brain. How could such a demon appear silently in Jiangnan?

How is that possible!

True Person Xiuxin was not a rogue cultivator; although merely a guest elder of the Ye family, she had seen much, so she quickly recognized the phantom image behind Lu Yang.

"【Qian Tian Total Subjugation of Ten Thousand Phenomena Dharma Body】!?"

"Someone has actually cultivated this Second Grade True Art of the Mo Sect! Which Jin Dan direct lineage? And so audacious, daring to act recklessly in my Jiangnan?"

True Person Xiuxin had no time to think further, for Lu Yang had already arrived before the two of them; and since their souls had been extracted, their thoughts could not even circulate clearly at this moment; let alone resist, they could barely even cry out, forced to watch as Lu Yang extended his palm and pressed it down upon their heads.

Golden Talent: Marionette!

As the brilliance of the talent descended, both Yun Miaozhen and True Person Xiuxin now displayed a degree of confusion, dazed and unable to control themselves.

This feeling was very similar to the Obstacle of Knowledge and Perception.

Clearly feeling something was amiss, yet unable to investigate deeply, unable to think seriously, they could only let Lu Yang's magic power wrap around them like a spiderweb.

Lu Yang carefully contemplated the effect of this Golden Talent; if one were to use a relatively precise, easy-to-understand word to describe this talent—

【Hypnosis】.

"Those controlled by this talent will show no changes in daily life, but as long as they are before me, once I activate the talent, they will immediately be at my disposal."

What a domineering talent!

'Fellow Daoist Suo Huan, you have done well!'
