Chapter 83

Ji Xian and Xia Lihua eventually landed in front of a large building that was carved out of ice. It was much smaller than the four main pavilions of the Ardent Yin Sect but it was more exquisitely detailed.

Disciples were gathered here and there. Some were entering the building while some leaving. Many also stood in a circle, enthusiastically talking to each other,

When Ji Xian touched down on the ice-ridden ground, he immediately noticed the excitement on all the disciple's faces. His brows raised with questions as he listened in on the conversations going on around him. After a moment, he finally understood. They were talking about the battle between him and Fang Yu.

Senior Sister, that was my first time seeing a battle between Holy realm experts! It was so intense!

I thought it was an enemy attack at first! Those Myriad Yin Blade scared me!

Did anyone know who was fighting?Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

All the Elders are keeping a tight-lipped on who it was. Its hard to say.

I know! I recognized one of the aura, it was the First Yin Pavilion Master! Im not too sure who the person is though, they were too far away

It should be another Elder from our sect, There were two different Myriad Yin Blade!

But who can summon that many of them? Was it the Sect Master?

Ji Xian only listened for a little while before he stopped.

Xia Lihua glanced at him and smiled but didnt say anything.

Li Yifan was waiting in front of them, the moment the couple landed, she led them to the Sacred Yin Hall.

When the disciples saw her, their expressions changed. The volume in the surroundings noticeably lowered as the conversations gradually stopped. The air became a little more formal and serious.

Second Yin Pavilion Master!

Greetings, Second Yin Pavilion Master.

The disciples bowed before quickly leaving.

Ji Xians eyes flickered in amusement when he saw this. It was obvious to him that the disciples were only bowing to Li Yifan due to the difference in their status and not out of respect.

Looks like someones not popular, he muttered.

Li Yifans ears slightly twitched but her expression didnt change. As the disciples greeted her, she didnt acknowledge anyone, giving them a cold shoulder. She walked to the entrance of the building with Ji Xian and Xia Lihua leisurely following behind her.

Many disciples stared at the couple as they passed them, or rather, at Xia Lihua. Her kingdom-toppling beauty and extraordinary bearing made almost everyone stop and do a double take. Next, they looked at Ji Xian. Seeing his shady appearance, their eyebrows raised.

Who the heck is this person?

He looks like a thief

Does anyone else feel unsafe all of a sudden?

Ji Xian lightly coughed but didnt say anything.

Xia Lihua giggled. She reached out and playfully ruffled his hair.

My little thief she joyfully muttered as she shuffled his hair to have them hide his face even more.

Ji Xian groaned but he let her do as she pleased.

When Li Yifan was close to the doors of the Sacred Yin Hall, a barrier appeared with a picture of a wooden boat and two paddles in a cross.

The jade pendant hanging from the belt of her dress glowed with a white hue as though responding to it. She waved her hand and the barrier faded away,

Seeing this, Ji Xian mumbled to himself, The Sixteen Directional Oar Formation, huh? Those are pretty easy to solve

Being so close to him, Xia Lihua naturally heard him. She couldnt help but let out a wry smile. Ji Xians words were suddenly reminding her of their nightly escapades in the last several months.

She let out a sigh but didnt dwell on it.

As they entered the building, Xia Lihua took a deep look at the unassuming woman leading them.

There was a wisp of foggy mist in her Dantian that was currently glowing pink and subtly pulsing. As the distance between her and Li Yifan shorten, the color would turn redder while the pulsation would become stronger and more rapid. This had been happening ever since she met Li Yifan.

As Xia Lihua felt this, she instantly knew that this plain looking woman was a Graha.

Seeing that he was only spending a couple of minutes on each book before putting it back, she slightly frowned.

What is he doing? Is this even considered reading? Theres no way he can comprehend the content of the books within such a short amount of time. Not even I can do that.

In the next three hours, Li Yifan continued to watch Ji Xian with a thoughtful expression.

It was strange to have someones eyes constantly on your shoulders as you read but Ji Xian wasnt bothered by it.

After another two hours, Ji Xian put the last book back on the shelf. He had finished reading all the books on the first floor.

At this time, a small crowd of disciples had actually formed and was secretly watching him.

They silently whispered to each other.

Whats going on? Why are there so many people here?

Its because of that person over there.

Huh? Whats so special about him, actually, who is that? Why is a man in the sect and why is he in the Sacred Yin Hall?

I think hes an important guest. Look, the Second Yin Pavilion Master brought him here. Hes been here for several hours already.

Ohh, but so what? Are you telling me everyone is gathering here just because of that?

Of course not! Its because hes clearly looking down at our sect! Look at how fast hes putting down each book, he obviously doesnt think its worth his time!

What! That bastard, does he know who we are?

As the disciples chattered amongst themselves, Bing Yi was surprisingly in the crowd as well. She was in the Sacred Yin Hall to look for something, anything, that could inspire her to take the next step in her cultivation. She had always been hesitant about whether or not she should breakthrough into Life Destruction. After all, this realm requires you to put your life on the line so it was no small matter.

However, after witnessing the huge battle outside the sect, she became determined. She cant stop at the Crystal realm, she wanted to continue walking the path!

Currently, she had an odd look on her face.

Isnt that Senior Xia Lihuas servant? Why is he here?

Just as she was feeling confused, Ji Xian suddenly walked toward her.

He was planning to take the stairs to go to the next floor but after he took a step up, he stopped.

Ji Xian spotted Bing Yi and his eyes softly lit up.

Oh, it's you. What a surprise.

Uh, is it? Bing Yi awkwardly replied. She was a disciple of the Ardent Yin Sect, why would it be a surprise to see her here?

Looks like you have yet to break through Life Destruction, Ji Xian chuckled, You should check out the fourth shelf. On the second row to the leftmost side is a book that could help you.

Huh?

Before Bing Yi could process what just happened, Ji Xian had already walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Li Yifan followed him. She indifferently glanced at Bing Yi but said nothing.

Bing Yi speechlessly watched them leave. When she saw their figures disappear, she turned around and looked at the fourth shelf. An unsure expression appeared on her face but she ultimately followed Ji Xians words.

On the second floor, Ji Xian repeated what he did on the first floor while Li Yifan continued staring at him.

Every once in a while, the light in his eyes would dull and he would stand eerily still.

Li Yifan noticed this, causing her curiosity to increase.

Finally, after another several hours, Ji Xian put back the last book. He pinched his chin and looked to be in deep thought. Then, the light in his eyes faded once again.

A moment later, life returned to his eyes and he inwardly sighed.

I already expected as much, but pity none of these books can assist me in simulating the next realm. Fortunately, this wasnt a total loss, Ive gained new ideas for the Inverse Flame.

Also, I think I may have a found a clue on how to help Lihua absorb True Essence. Yin and Yang, fire and water, balance and harmony. True Essence is incompatible with Astral Essence, but at the end of the day, the interconnection between these two Essences should be possible. Everything in the universe originates from one source. There must be something that can be used as a medium to tie them together. I just need to find what it is
