Chapter 34: Strengthening the Invisible Evasion Technique with the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash

Yan Taibai was unaware of the matter regarding the Ghost Spirit Sect leader Wang Tiansheng sending a reply to the Yan Family Ancestor.

Furthermore, he did not continue his seclusion, because Qiong Laoguai had returned.

"Not bad, not bad. Foundation Establishment at nine years old—looking across the entire Tiannan Cultivation World, you are the only one. From now on, do not let down such cultivation talent; you must work diligently and cultivate hard."

Qiong Laoguai gave these instructions with a rare, serious expression.

"This disciple understands, Master, please rest assured."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai replied respectfully.

Compared to the Great Elder of the Yanyue Sect, Qiong Laoguai's sin value was somewhat higher, reaching a full forty.

"It is good that you understand. I will not hide it from you: my lifespan is not long, at most another hundred or eighty years. It may seem like a lot, but it is difficult to take another step forward to condense a Nascent Soul. Therefore, I hope you can condense a Nascent Soul in the future; it will count as fulfilling a wish for me."

Qiong Laoguai sighed faintly, his expression looking somewhat complex as he spoke.

"This disciple will obey. In the future, I will certainly work diligently to condense a Nascent Soul and advance to the Nascent Soul Stage."

Yan Taibai agreed without hesitation; even if Qiong Laoguai had not said it, he would inevitably become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future.

In reality, just as Mr. Xuan Ye said, the Golden Core Stage was merely a starting point; he was destined to ascend to the Spirit World and the Immortal Realm to seek true longevity.

The thousand or eight hundred years of lifespan of the Nascent Soul Stage could not satisfy him at all.

"It is good that you understand, but this is merely my wish. Do not put too much pressure on yourself."

"However, since you have now reached Foundation Establishment, I will pass on this self-created Invisible Evasion Technique to you. With your cultivation aptitude, learning it should not be too difficult. As long as you successfully cultivate this Invisible Evasion Technique, even an ordinary Golden Core Initial Stage cultivator will be unable to catch you. With my Invisible Evasion Technique, at full power, even the evasion speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator will not be at a disadvantage."

"And if you wish to leave the sect to gain experience and seek opportunities, you must first successfully cultivate my Invisible Evasion Technique; only then will you have a few more trump cards for self-preservation."

Qiong Laoguai took out another Jade Slip and handed it to Yan Taibai, giving instructions with a somewhat earnest tone.

Although the master and disciple had only been together for less than half a month, it was clear that Qiong Laoguai truly regarded Yan Taibai as a disciple to inherit his mantle.

Otherwise, he would not have taught him his self-created Invisible Evasion Technique so early; this was Qiong Laoguai's proudest work, one that made many Nascent Soul cultivators who were not skilled in evasion techniques covet it.

Those who wanted to trade with Qiong Laoguai were all refused.

"Many thanks, Master, for teaching me this divine ability. Master, please rest assured: before I successfully cultivate this Invisible Evasion Technique, this disciple will absolutely not step outside."

Yan Taibai's face was filled with gratitude and emotion as he thanked him respectfully.

He was very clear that, not to mention the Tiannan Cultivation World, even within Yue Country alone, there were countless people who wanted to kill him to eliminate future trouble.

This was unavoidable; no one wanted Yan Taibai to grow up to become a Nascent Soul cultivator and greatly increase the strength of the Yanyue Sect.

Especially since Yan Taibai also had a fiancée who was also a Heavenly Spirit Root.

A pair of Dao companions who were both Heavenly Spirit Roots, and in a sect that focused on dual cultivation—there were not many such pairs in the entire Tiannan Cultivation World. The most famous were Long Han and Feng Bing of the Mingluan Sect, and the two demons of the Hehuan Sect.

Therefore, Yan Taibai and Ruyan truly caused many forces to worry about them growing up.

After all, Long Han and Feng Bing of the Mingluan Sect were both Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivators, and when they joined forces, even the Three Great Cultivators of Tiannan had to be three parts wary.

Although the two demons of the Hehuan Sect were only Nascent Soul Early Stage, they still had the power to fight against Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivators.

From this, one could see just how great the threat of Yan Taibai and Ruyan was.

This was also the reason why Qiong Laoguai did not let Yan Taibai go out easily.

As for house arrest or confinement, that was definitely not advisable; if that were the case, Yan Taibai would be destined to be a Golden Core Stage cultivator for the rest of his life, and advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage would be out of the question.

After all, every Nascent Soul cultivator had experienced thousands of dangers and numerous opportunities before they were fortunate enough to condense a Nascent Soul and become a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

Therefore, wanting to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage by closing the door and building a cart was impossible unless a miracle occurred.

Thus, Yan Taibai's future would inevitably be fraught with danger.

As Yan Taibai's master, Qiong Laoguai could not protect him personally and could only provide as much help as possible.

This Invisible Evasion Technique was the greatest help at the moment; as long as he could retreat unscathed, no matter how great the danger, he would be fine.

"Hmm! It is good that you understand. Although you are gifted and have excellent Spirit Root aptitude, you are ultimately only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. I do not want to restrict you too much; as long as you successfully cultivate this Invisible Evasion Technique, you may leave the sect, but whether you live or die will be up to you."

Qiong Laoguai was quite satisfied with Yan Taibai's answer, nodding as he reminded him once more.

"Yes, this disciple knows the gravity of the situation and will absolutely not act rashly."

Yan Taibai also nodded in promise.

"Good, then I will not disturb your cultivation. I have matters to attend to and need to leave the sect. If you have any issues, feel free to go find Junior Niece Nishang and Junior Niece Nangong. As for your Senior Uncle, unless it is a pressing matter, do not disturb her cultivation."

Qiong Laoguai instructed and arranged.

"This disciple obeys."

With this, the conversation between the master and disciple ended. Yan Taibai saw Qiong Laoguai out of the cave dwelling and then began to study the Jade Slip that Qiong Laoguai had given him, which contained the Invisible Evasion Technique.

It had to be said that Qiong Laoguai's Invisible Evasion Technique was indeed an extremely excellent evasion divine ability, but compared to the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash, it was far too inferior.

But for the current Yan Taibai, it still had its merits, especially since Yan Taibai had a sudden inspiration to combine the two.

After all, he had not even learned the basics of the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash, but he could still extract some of its infinite mysteries and combine them with the Invisible Evasion Technique.

As for what the effect would be, it would depend on his own fortune.

However, even with the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash and the Invisible Evasion Technique, which also contained Qiong Laoguai's experiential advice, combining the two was not an easy task for a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator like Yan Taibai.

But Yan Taibai believed that as long as he could succeed, the Invisible Evasion Technique would inevitably be strengthened; by then, his evasion speed would only be faster, and he would be much safer.

Therefore, spending some time and energy now was nothing; it was all cultivation anyway, so it was no big deal.

In the time that followed, Yan Taibai cultivated in his cave dwelling while studying the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash and the Invisible Evasion Technique, preparing to create an enhanced version of the Invisible Evasion Technique.

And just at this moment, the Yan Family Ancestor at Yan Family Fortress also told the black-clad man his final decision.

"Ancestor, are you truly going to do this? If you fail, the Yan Family will be doomed forever."

After hearing the Yan Family Ancestor's decision, the black-clad man's expression became extremely ugly.
