Because the spell formation gathered the searing heat of the Earth Core Magma, Ning Wan used a secret art to proactively draw out the rioting Yin-Cold Intent.
Simultaneously, her hand seals shifted, controlling the cave’s formation to envelop the surging Yin-Cold Intent.
“Hiss… hiss!”
The two opposing terrifying energies canceled each other out, radiating ripples that were both chillingly cold and scorchingly hot.
Wherever these ripples passed, the stone walls of the cave would glow red and smoke one moment, then be covered in frost and ice the next—a vivid display of ice and fire in two heavens.
Faced with this, Deng Tianyu used the two sword intents of Winter Hiding and Summer Growth to resist these two energies while standing guard nearby.
He knew that the terrifying degree of the curse seal’s erosion within Shizun’s body went far beyond this. This was only the beginning.
As if confirming his words, Ning Wan’s body trembled, and an even more terrifying wave of Yin-Cold Intent swept out.
Compared to the previous Yin-Cold Intent, this wave was undoubtedly more dreadful, because it contained extremely violent Yin Sha aura.
Crack… Crack…
Yin Sha was formed from condensed Yin-Cold Intent. The ultimate yin and baleful energy it unleashed instantly caused the surroundings to freeze into pitch-black ice blocks.
In less than a breath, the cave had become a cavern encased in a layer of jet-black ice.
Waves of Yin Sha storms, capable of freezing a cultivator’s True Essence, rampaged wildly, seemingly intent on grinding all existence within the cave to dust.
“Buzz…”
Just then, Ning Wan pointed a delicate finger. The dharma seal shifted once more, and the formation inside the cave began to tremble. Mysterious and profound formation patterns came alive, writhing incessantly.
Simultaneously, she activated several artifacts capable of suppressing Yin Sha. The Blazing Flame Spirit Pendant around her neck also erupted with dazzling light.
Under the triple suppression of the formation, the artifacts, and Ning Wan’s own power, the Yin Sha gradually stabilized.
Seeing this, Deng Tianyu’s brow remained tightly furrowed because, within his perception, the Yin-Cold Intent seemed to sense danger and actually gathered entirely at the location of Shizun’s Dantian.
Thus, the Yin-Yang Curse Seal that Shizun was afflicted with lost the suppressive effect of the external Earth Core Magma’s searing heat and began eroding her body from within.
Sure enough, Ning Wan’s body began to be covered in jet-black frost. Her peerlessly beautiful jade countenance rapidly paled, and even her long, narrow eyelashes began to tremble.
“Hah…”
Deng Tianyu took a deep breath, seated himself on the jade couch, and kissed her ice-cold, piercingly cold red lips.
“Tianyu!”
Feeling this, a trace of tenderness flickered in Ning Wan’s beautiful eyes. Her delicate hand tightly clasped her precious disciple’s palm.
Then, the two simultaneously activated the Purple Cloud Dao Canon – Upper Volume, utilizing the Star Shifting Divine Ability within it to transfer the Yin-Cold Intent into his body.
Unlike with Ning Wan, this Yin-Cold Intent, upon just entering Deng Tianyu’s body, was instantly refined and vanished without a trace.
This was his special constitution!
Whether it was Yin-Cold Intent or the Yin Sha condensed from it, as soon as it entered his body, it would be refined into his own True Essence.
It was also precisely because of this that he had, by a stroke of fate, saved Ning Wan when her curse seal erupted that year.
Gazing at her precious disciple’s face, Ning Wan’s vision blurred for a moment, as if she had returned to that day on the Rear Cliff.
……
“You will die… why are you doing this…”
Watching the little boy whose vitality was rapidly fading before her eyes, mist surged in Ning Wan’s beautiful eyes. Sparkling crystalline drops slid down her gorgeous face, but due to the Yin-Cold Intent, they turned into ice crystals and fell to the ground.
Her heart ached, so much it was nearly suffocating.
She wanted to stop all this, but because her whole body was invaded by the Yin-Cold Intent, her True Essence had stagnated. She could do nothing at all.
Right now, ice had already started forming from Deng Tianyu’s legs and was spreading upwards.
In less than a breath, his legs, torso, and hands were all encased in ice.
“Shizun, I’m fine!”
Although his face was deathly pale, as if all his blood had solidified, and his body was numb and without sensation, Deng Tianyu still did not give up helping Shizun dispel the Yin-Cold Intent.
When his True Essence was exhausted, he used his body’s warmth.
When his body froze, he used whatever parts still could move.
Under Ning Wan’s heartbreaking gaze, he laboriously shifted his body and kissed her lips with extreme, agonizing slowness.
That was his first time kissing her, and it was both of their first kisses.
She could feel the Yin-Cold Intent within her body being drawn into the other’s body under the effect of the Purple Cloud Dao Canon – Upper Volume.
“Tianyu… let go quickly… you will die!”
Ning Wan felt as if her heart was being torn apart. The tears in her eyes turned into ice crystals, constantly dripping onto the ground.
Memories flashed through her mind: the scene of her picking up that little scrap of a child.
The first time he called her Shizun.
The first time he hugged her.
And now, the first time he proactively kissed her.
Gradually, her feelings for him had undergone a qualitative change. Besides the master-disciple affection and motherly love in her heart, a strange, unprecedented sentiment had also sprouted.
Interwoven with these three complex feelings, a figure had taken root in Ning Wan’s heart, and as time passed, it gradually occupied the most important position within it.
Snapping back from her memories, she immediately discovered that the curse seal inside her had violently trembled and once again erupted with horrifying Yin-Cold Intent.
This wave of Yin-Cold Intent, mixed with Yin Sha, actually resisted the envelopment of the Star Shifting Divine Ability and began another round of frenzied erosion.
“Pfft!”
Ning Wan’s body trembled, a sweetness welled up in her throat, and traces of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
“As expected, the Yin Sha condensed this time is far more terrifying than the last.”
“Now, even kissing Shizun cannot draw this Yin Sha into my body.”
“It seems I must switch to another method!”
Seeing this, Deng Tianyu’s expression filled with urgency; he immediately sensed trouble.
But after racking his brains, he found no solution.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.
Right now, the Yin Sha and Yin-Cold Intent were completely gathered in her Dantian, which was why he couldn’t use his mouth as a bridge to suck them into his body.
But what if he chose a closer location?
For instance, an area close to the Dantian region!
Thinking of this, Deng Tianyu didn’t hesitate much and informed Shizun of his idea.
“But that place is…”
Hearing her precious disciple’s somewhat improper idea, even Ning Wan’s originally pale jade-like face was tinged with a layer of alluring peach-blossom red, and her crystal-clear, jade-like earlobes flushed completely.
The thought of what was about to happen made her heart pound fiercely, as if it would leap out in the very next moment.
“Shizun, you ate my filially offered pastries before. Now it’s time for reciprocity!”
To dispel the shyness in Shizun’s heart, Deng Tianyu spoke in a half-joking tone.
As he spoke, he didn’t dawdle in the slightest and directly started operating.
Before long, one article of clothing after another slowly appeared on the jade couch: the Sect Leader’s palace dress, the thin-as-cicada-wing skin-toned stockings, the silk bellyband, the underpants…
On the cave walls where red and white light intertwined, the seductively mature body was reflected as a clear silhouette, curvaceous and alluring, with a willow-slender waist and long legs, surpassing the charm and allure of a mature beauty.
Her skin was snow-white and crystal clear, her slender waist barely a hand’s span, her jade peaks towering high, the alluring pink pearls at their tips making one drool with desire—an utterly arousing sight.
Although he had seen it many times before, Deng Tianyu was still somewhat stunned. He then bit the tip of his tongue, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and only then knelt on the jade couch, slowly lowering his body.
