Chapter 39 — Pregnant Again! Caught in the Act!
At the Yuhan Cliff.
It was an extremely peculiar place in the Xuantian Sect.
It was extremely cold and freezing.
Spiritual energy was very scarce here.
Inner sect disciples who violated sect rules would be sent to the Yuhan Cliff for secluded reflection. An inner sect enforcer and a few Golden Core cultivators were in charge of affairs at the Yuhan Cliff.
At this moment.
“Young Master Yan, how is this place? This is the most spiritually enriched area of the Yuhan Cliff! We have also set up a Spirit Gathering Array to facilitate your cultivation, Young Master Yan!”
The Golden Core cultivator named Wang Yong said ingratiatingly.
Lin Yan looked around and nodded: “Not bad!”
“As long as Young Master is satisfied!”
Wang Yong hurriedly said: “I just hope Young Master can put in a good word for us brothers in front of the Holy Son!”
“Rest assured!”
Lin Yan patted his shoulder, then said: “But don’t disturb me unnecessarily in the future, I like a quiet environment!”
“Yes, yes!” Wang Yong nodded quickly.
Lin Yan walked further into the Yuhan Cliff.
Although called a cliff, the Yuhan Cliff was actually a huge cave located at the edge of a cliff.
Ordinary disciples would only stay in the outermost area, never venturing too deep inside. Because it was too cold within. But Lin Yan always felt as if something was calling out to him. Making him unconsciously walk inwards.
“Strange, why do I keep having this feeling? Could there be some opportunity inside this Yuhan Cliff?”
Lin Yan immediately became spirited. Because he had this feeling before. And it always led to decent gains.
After walking roughly four to five hundred meters inwards, winding through several curving stone corridors, Lin Yan stopped in his tracks.
Because he saw a pitch-black stone wall.
On it were engraved words.
Lin Yan manifested a flame in his palm and began carefully deciphering them.
“I am the Daoist Wu Yun of the Xuantian Sect. At 860 years old, I reached the Void Refinement Realm, but was envied by the then Sect Master, who colluded with his sect cultivators to trap and kill me here! The cultivation method I practiced is hidden on this stone wall. Those who have fate may take it – simply smear fresh blood on the wall!”
Seeing the few lines on the stone wall, Lin Yan was dazed.
Reaching the Void Refinement realm at 860 years old? This Daoist Wu Yun was a heaven-blessed genius!
One must know, Soul Transformation realm cultivators have a lifespan of 3000 years.
Most Soul Transformation cultivators take over two thousand years to reach the Void Refinement realm. Even his master, the Flame Empress took one thousand five hundred years to cultivate to Void Refinement realm. But this Daoist Wu Yun only took eight hundred and sixty years. He was absolutely a heaven-blessed genius!
The cultivation method he practiced must be an earth-shattering secret manual!
Lin Yan’s heart raced with excitement.
“The heavens have not abandoned me! Hmph, so what if I didn’t get the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame? I am favored by the heavens, having obtained this heaven-defying method!”
Lin Yan directly sliced open his palm and pressed it against the stone wall.
Row after row of black light flew out from the wall, entering Lin Yan’s mind.
Half an hour later, Lin Yan’s tightly closed eyes opened. His eyes flickered with a black light.
“The Spirit Devouring Scripture! Directly absorb others’ cultivation to enhance one’s own strength! Although vicious, as long as it makes me stronger, it’s a good method! Moreover, as long as I kill every cultivator I absorb, who can know I practice such a method! Hee hee!”
A crazed and cruel smile appeared on Lin Yan’s face.
Then, his gaze turned towards the outside of the Yuhan Cliff.
There were quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators imprisoned there.
…
One month later, at the Holy Son Peak.
Lin Xilan snuggled in Yang Chen’s embrace.
“Husband, what do we do if I’m pregnant again?”
Yang Chen stroked her belly and laughed: “What can we do? Let’s have another child! What, you don’t want to have my children?”
“Of course not!” Lin Xilan pouted cutely.
Then she buried her head in Yang Chen’s embrace.
“You scoundrel, you’ve been tormenting me every day this month! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be expecting this quickly!”
The corners of Yang Chen’s mouth curved up.
“Is it my fault? I just integrated the Primordial Fire, so the inner Yang qi in my body is quite vigorous. I can’t help it!”
At this point, Lin Xilan suddenly looked towards Qing’er, who was playing with Yang Chi in the distance.
“That little girl needs to grow up quickly!”
Yang Chen knew what Lin Xilan meant.
He extended his hand and slapped her perky area forcefully.
“Don’t talk nonsense! Qing’er is my sister!”
“Hmph!”
Lin Xilan rolled her eyes.
Her husband was good in every way. Except for one point – he was a hypocrite. A modest gentleman during the day, but transforming into a big bad wolf at night.
Yang Chen looked towards Qing’er, who was frolicking with Yang Chi. This little girl benefited from coming to the Holy Son Peak too. She could help them take care of the children. Giving him more time to chat about life with his wife.
Which also resulted in their current predicament … Alas.
Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan, you’ll have another brother or sister now.
“Husband, the last time we went to the Yuhan Cliff to see Yan’er, I always felt he was acting strange, his eyes had an ominous aura!” Lin Xilan suddenly said.
The corners of Yang Chen’s mouth curved upwards slightly.
Of course Lin Yan seemed strange. This was his masterpiece.
Previously, the reason Yang Chen decided to imprison Lin Yan in the Yuhan Cliff was because the Yuhan Cliff was described in detail in the original work.
In the original, Lin Yan was also imprisoned in the Yuhan Cliff. However, when he saw the Spirit Devouring Scripture back then, he did not cultivate it. Because at that time, Lin Yan had obtained the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame.
The rank of his Myriad Flames Celestial Conflagration Art had greatly improved.
Moreover, he was not as eager for revenge as he was now. Naturally, he would not cultivate the Spirit Devouring Scripture – an evil technique that harmed others for personal gain.
But now … Heh heh.
A method that could rapidly increase his strength, how could he refuse?
That night, Yang Chi insisted on sleeping with his Aunt Qing’er. Yang Chen was happy to oblige.
Without this little disturbance, he and his wife could communicate better.
“Husband, why don’t you take another wife!”
After some time, Lin Xilan said weakly.
Yang Chen caressed her fair face.
“Take another wife?”
“Won’t you be jealous?”
“Why would I be jealous? I’d be thankful to her for sharing the burden!” Lin Xilan rolled her eyes.
Yang Chen smiled meaningfully and patted her head.
“Alright!”
“Come, you’ve rested enough!”
…
At this moment, in the Yuhan Cliff, Lin Yan’s eyes flickered with an eerie light as he appeared before the Golden Core cultivator Wang Yong.
“Young Master Yan!” Seeing Lin Yan, Wang Yong said hurriedly.
“Wang Yong, I discovered a stone cave left by an ancient cultivator inside the Yuhan Cliff! My cultivation is insufficient to see through it, help me break the seal!”
Lin Yan’s voice carried a raspy tone.
Wang Yong quickly nodded: “No problem, Young Master Yan!”
Wang Yong said in a very flattering way: “It’s no wonder Young Master is the Holy Son’s adopted son. To discover an ancient cultivator’s inheritance even in the Yuhan Cliff, this subordinate is full of admiration!”
Wang Yong obsequiously followed Lin Yan into the Yuhan Cliff.
However, after entering around four to five hundred meters, Wang Yong stopped in his tracks.
Because he saw a few shrivelled corpses lying on the ground.
“This?” Wang Yong was stunned.
“These are the disciples imprisoned in the Yuhan Cliff for punishment? How did they end up like this? No good, I must quickly report to Enforcer Li!”
Wang Yong was frightened.
Although they were just Foundation Establishment disciples, dying in the Yuhan Cliff meant it was his responsibility. This was a huge trouble.
But as he turned around, his expression suddenly froze.
Looking down, a pitch-black greatsword had pierced through his chest.
“Lin Yan, you …” Wang Yong instantly realized.
These Foundation Establishment disciples had all been killed by Lin Yan!
Wang Yong was at the First stage of the Golden Core realm. Even though ambushed by Lin Yan with the greatsword piercing his body, his golden radiance exploded, blasting Lin Yan away.
“Golden Core, heh heh, indeed not so easy to deal with! But, hee hee, you will definitely die today!”
Lin Yan attacked directly, black radiance surging from his body.
His aura had actually reached the Ninth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.
“Lin Yan, you have cultivated a demonic art!”
Wang Yong was horrified.
Because his true qi was rapidly draining out through the wound.
Moreover, it was draining towards Lin Yan’s body.
Lin Yan simply took a deep breath, and his aura strengthened significantly.
What kind of demonic art was this?
So terrifying!
Wang Yong became afraid, wanting to flee.
But how could he escape?
Shortly after, no sound came from the cave.
Lin Yan walked out of the Yuhan Cliff.
The moonlight shone on him.
At this moment, Lin Yan’s cheeks were sunken, his cheekbones jutting out prominently, his whole being exuding a gloomy aura. Having absorbed a Golden Core cultivator, he had directly reached the Tenth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, and was not far from the Golden Core realm itself.
“This matter cannot be kept secret for long! My current strength is still too weak. If a mid-Golden Core cultivator takes action, I only have a path to death! No, I must leave the Xuantian Sect! I absolutely cannot repeat the Daoist Wu Yun senior’s tragedy!”
Lin Yan turned into an ominous ray of light, disappearing into the Yuhan Cliff.
However, he did not directly leave the Xuantian Sect. Instead, he came to the Holy Son Peak.
On the Holy Son Peak, Lin Yan used the secret arts of the Spirit Devouring Scripture to stealthily advance. But he did not know that the two Soul Transformation cultivators, Elder Black and Ye Yuxiao, had already discovered him at the Holy Son Peak.
It was just that, since he was Yang Chen’s adopted son, as long as he did not do anything outrageous, no one would bother him.
And Yang Chen, though in a critical situation at the moment, had also sensed Lin Yan.
Tsk. Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan. You really came at the right time.
Lin Yan stealthily made his way to a palace.
Following the illuminated path, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
Like jade beads falling on a plate, crying and pleading.
Lin Yan’s face instantly turned green.
His fists clenched tightly.
His expression became ferocious.
Bastard! Yang Chen, dammit! I will definitely kill you! I’ll slice you into a thousand pieces! I’ll give you a brutal death!
