Chapter 35: Immortal Golden Body

As for what decision the Yan Family Ancestor would make, Yan Taibai naturally had no way of knowing; what was urgent for him now was to improve his practice of the Invisible Evasion Technique.

If not for the solid foundation and theory laid down by Reading Ten Thousand Volumes, his desire to use the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash to strengthen the Invisible Evasion Technique...

... would not just be as difficult as ascending to heaven, it would be nearly impossible.

This no longer had much to do with his Spirit Root aptitude; his greatest reliance was "knowledge."

An understanding of immortal cultivation.

On this day, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle; the mountain range where the Yanyue Sect was located was shrouded in mist and ethereal immortal energy, and the coming and going within the pavilions and halls carried quite a refined, immortal air.

"Whoosh!"

But in a desolate place with no sign of human life, a brilliant golden light traveled from afar, covering a distance of over ten miles in a few flickers, arriving in the blink of an eye with a speed so fast that even a Golden Core Stage Cultivator would marvel at it and fall short.

The golden light dissipated, revealing a tall, upright, and extraordinary figure; it was Yan Taibai, who had been bitterly training in the enhanced version of the Invisible Evasion Technique for many days.

Facts proved that by relying on the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash and the solid foundation laid by Reading Ten Thousand Volumes, he had finally succeeded.

He had raised the speed of the Invisible Evasion Technique by several levels; even though it had only just reached minor completion, it was not at all inferior to a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, and if Yan Taibai were willing, he could be even faster.

However, Yan Taibai lowered his eyes to look at his slightly reddened skin.

Even with the protection of his body-protecting spiritual light, the extreme speed still had a significant impact on his physical body.

Therefore, if he wanted to be faster, the first difficulty to solve was the issue of "physical strength."

However, this difficulty was not hard to solve because the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash contained a corresponding cultivation method.

Body tempering!

By strengthening the body step by step, there would be no need to worry about this problem.

If successful, one could also cultivate an extremely powerful physique: the "Immortal Golden Body."

Gold, that is, immortality.

And the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash was the purest "Metal Great Dao" in heaven and earth.

Although the problem was not major, the trouble was not small; the resources required for body tempering were a massive headache.

It could no longer be described as a vast amount; it was an astronomical figure that could not be described in words.

Therefore, this path could be said to be long and arduous.

Furthermore, the "Immortal Golden Body" in the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash was not the same thing as the "Immortal Golden Body" in a certain master's work.

So, do not get them mixed up.

The two were not products of the same world.

However, now that he had successfully cultivated this improved and strengthened version of the Invisible Evasion Technique, he could leave the Yanyue Sect to complete his third task: Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils.

It would not be easy to complete this task in a short time; after all, the Yue Country did not have so many Demonic Path Foundation Establishment Stage rogue cultivators for him to slaughter.

But he still knew of one place that had one Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, or perhaps two if he was lucky.

Although there were only one or two, the quantity was not large, but for him at the moment, it was enough.

Just as Yan Taibai was preparing to return to his cave dwelling to prepare for his planned departure from the Yanyue Sect, he raised an eyebrow and said coldly.

"Who is it? Come out!"

Before the words had faded, a stunning beauty in fluttering white clothes came into view, standing gracefully a hundred feet away like a fairy descending from the Moon Palace: Nangong Wan.

A disciple of the Great Elder of the Yanyue Sect and Yan Taibai's martial aunt; this was the second time Yan Taibai had seen Nangong Wan.

Therefore, after recognizing her, he immediately bowed respectfully.

"Disciple Yan Taibai pays respects to Martial Aunt Nangong. May I ask if Martial Aunt has any instructions?"

"You actually managed to successfully cultivate Martial Uncle Qiong's Invisible Evasion Technique so quickly. And it is slightly different from what I have seen in the past; it seems a bit faster. It looks like Martial Uncle Qiong has improved it again. However, it is quite impressive that you can cultivate it this quickly."

Nangong Wan pursed her lips and smiled, saying.

"Martial Aunt is too kind. May I ask if Martial Aunt has any business?"

Hearing this, Yan Taibai hurriedly said modestly.

"Nothing much, it is just that my master is about to enter seclusion and will not emerge for a short time, so she asked me to come and ask if you have any needs. Take this opportunity before she enters seclusion to speak up; as long as it is within her power, she will try her best to help you."

Nangong Wan explained.

These words warmed Yan Taibai's heart, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"May I ask if Martial Aunt knows of any wicked Demonic Path cultivators in the Yue Country or the nearby kingdoms?"

The fastest way to obtain resources was "killing people and seizing treasures."

As the saying goes, murder and arson bring golden belts, while building bridges and repairing roads go unnoticed.

Furthermore, he was doing a good deed, and he believed that such Demonic Path wicked cultivators should not be poor; their net worth should be quite rich.

Therefore, it was definitely the best choice for obtaining resources; as for asking directly, that was simply impossible.

Not to mention the quantity he needed, the Great Elder of the Yanyue Sect herself would never agree to it.

After all, the preferential treatment given to him was already generous enough; to ask for more would be somewhat insatiable.

Yan Taibai was very clear on this point; besides, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and possessed a certain ability to protect himself, so he had to be self-reliant.

"There are naturally quite a few wicked Demonic Path cultivators. Why, do you want to punish evil and promote good, to Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils?"

After hearing Yan Taibai's inquiry, Nangong Wan asked with playful interest.

In reality, among the Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom, there was no shortage of disciples like Yan Taibai who wanted to Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils as soon as they reached Foundation Establishment.

For example, Liu Jing under Li Huayuan of Huangfeng Valley was like that after his Foundation Establishment.

But most of these disciples did not have a very good end, and the majority fell at the hands of Demonic Path wicked cultivators.

In the end, decades of bitter cultivation were lost in an instant.

But they were also worthy of respect!

And who was Yan Taibai? A disciple of Qiong Laoguai of the Yanyue Sect with a Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root. His status and position were completely incomparable to those people, which was why Nangong Wan asked one more question.

"That is correct. As the old saying goes: we cultivators should Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils to uphold the Righteous Path."

Hearing Nangong Wan's inquiry, Yan Taibai, his face glowing with excitement, recited the speech he had prepared long ago.

"Did your master, Uncle-Master Qiong, not tell you that the Yanyue Sect is not a Righteous Path sect?"

Seeing this scene, Nangong Wan's dark brows furrowed slightly, her apricot lips parted, and she could not help but speak again.

She was speechless at this hot-headed behavior of Yan Taibai's, but once she thought of Yan Taibai's age, she felt relieved.

No matter how good his natural talent and aptitude were, Yan Taibai was still just a child of about ten years old; it was perfectly normal for his mind to be immature.

Even if he usually appeared mature, it was the same.

"Ah! Is that so!"

Yan Taibai feigned surprise and blurted out.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan felt speechless and had a headache, but she still parted her red lips and began to explain the origins of the Yanyue Sect and the other six sects to Yan Taibai in a slow and unhurried manner.

She told Yan Taibai that none of the Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom were Righteous Path sects, nor were they Demonic Path sects, and even if they were Righteous Path sects, they would not easily Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils!
