Chapter 132: Mingyan’s Mentality Has Changed
Mingyan didn’t dare to push his luck. His palm rested on Yue Wu Xia’s lower abdomen. Through the Daoist robe, which was made of an unknown material, he couldn’t feel the touch of her skin.
Just like this, one day… two days… three days passed.
This process gradually became a torment. Mingyan didn’t dare to move, afraid that any of his actions would be misunderstood by Yue Wu Xia. A soft fragrance was in his arms, but he could only remain motionless.
This made Mingyan’s mentality undergo a subtle change.
From the moment he decided not to give up on Huang Junyi, Mingyan’s mentality had already changed. But for his master, Mingyan had the heart, but not the courage.
And these three days of holding his master without daring to move at all made a certain feeling in Mingyan’s heart grow wildly out of control.
A thought that Mingyan would never have dared to think before appeared in his mind.
He wanted to possess his master.
The word ‘possess’ had many meanings. And the “possession” in Mingyan’s heart was to want to… make his master his own, to make her… his thing.
Mingyan himself was a little surprised, surprised that he would have such a rebellious thought. As his master’s disciple, to have such a great and rebellious thought towards his master…
But this thought, once it appeared, could not be stopped.
But it was not possible… In the cultivation world, there should not be such feelings between a master and a disciple. It would be spurned by others. This was not something that morality could accept.
Moreover, if his master knew his thoughts… she would probably immediately keep her distance from him…
Mingyan was silent for a while, but a decision had already been made in his heart.
Since he had this thought… then there was no need to think about it anymore…
His sister was right. A cultivator’s life was very long, so one should not leave regrets, lest one recalls it in the future and feels sad.
Three days later, Yue Wu Xia sat up cross-legged, looked at the beast tide below, her brow furrowed slightly, and said, “The plan has changed. You will stay outside for the time being. Do not enter the beast tide.”
Mingyan raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong, Master?”
“During this time, I have already observed that there are many powerful spirit beasts in the beast tide. I alone can still ensure my own safety, but if I have to take you with me, then I don’t have that much confidence,” Yue Wu Xia said softly. “Or are you determined to cause trouble for me?”
Since Yue Wu Xia had said this, Mingyan knew that she would definitely not take him into the beast tide now. Mingyan could only give up this idea. After all, he did not want to drag his master down because of himself. So he had to nod. “Then… Master, you must be careful…”
Yue Wu Xia stood up. “I will give this flying carpet to you. If there is any danger, use it to leave this place. I don’t know how long I will be gone this time. If I don’t return within seven days, you don’t need to wait for me. Just leave on your own.”
“Master…” Mingyan opened his mouth, still wanting to say something.
“I know my own limits,” Yue Wu Xia turned her head and glanced at Mingyan. “When did I need you to worry about me?”
Mingyan was silent for a while and could only nod. Then, he watched Yue Wu Xia rise into the air and fly into the area affected by the central abyss.
The places near the outside did not have a very deep impact on cultivators, but his master seemed to be planning to go deep into it. Mingyan could only hope that his master would be safe.
Clearly, his cultivation had broken through, but there was not a trace of happiness in Mingyan’s heart. He was still too weak now. And the people he cared about, their cultivation was too high. Mingyan had no strength to protect them, at least not now.
After being silent, Mingyan began to close his eyes and cultivate.
In a flash, another three days passed. Mingyan sat cross-legged on the flying carpet. He suddenly opened his eyes. At this time, the sky was getting dark. He noticed that the beast herd below was a little restless. After careful observation, he found that many cultivators had come below. It seemed that some people couldn’t help but want to see what was happening in the area near the central abyss…
To put it bluntly, they still felt it was profitable, that it might be some kind of opportunity. After all, abnormal times were often accompanied by “opportunities.” This was common sense.
At this time, the beast tide was not as dense as a few days ago. It seemed to have gone deeper. Mingyan stayed in the sky. Yue Wu Xia’s flying carpet could hide his tracks. Mingyan found that many cultivators with powerful cultivation had also appeared. It seemed that these people were preparing to investigate.
Mingyan closed his eyes and continued to wait for his master. It was none of his business whether these people went in or not. As long as he waited for his master to come back.
Another two days passed. Some people below had already built a temporary position. Some had gathered many young cultivators. Mingyan saw many familiar figures, for example, An Canhui, the Little Kun Peng King, and others… Ning Zetian had also come. Besides, Mingyan also saw Ning Feixuan.
Ning Feixuan and Ning Zetian seemed to have a brief exchange, and then the two of them separated.
The Little Kun Peng King was very close to Ning Feixuan, but Ning Feixuan showed little interest.
Another two days passed… The seven days his master had mentioned had already passed, but his master had not yet returned. Mingyan frowned, a little worried, and decided to wait a little longer.
And below, the beast tide was almost gone from the periphery. And some cultivators below had already entered the area affected by the central abyss to explore. The Little Kun Peng King and others had also gone in. Ning Feixuan had also gone in. After observing this scene, Mingyan frowned.
After entering the area near the central abyss, one’s Dao and laws would be strictly restricted due to the influence of the central abyss. In this situation, the physical body became the only thing a cultivator could rely on.
Ning Feixuan’s physical body was not her strong point, but then Mingyan felt that he was paying too much attention to Ning Feixuan and withdrew his gaze.
Mingyan waited for another three days but still did not see his master return. Mingyan finally couldn’t sit still. His master had told him to leave if he didn’t see her, but how could he be at ease? Mingyan decided to also enter this area. The strength of the Human King Physique could not be sealed here. In terms of physical body, probably no physique in the world could compete with Mingyan at the same realm.
Mingyan put away the flying carpet and landed on the ground. There were still many people on the ground. They noticed Mingyan’s appearance and were slightly surprised. Especially a few Sacred Land elders stationed here were even more surprised after noticing Mingyan’s cultivation.
Mingyan had first become famous when he had defeated the Little Kun Peng King. At that time, Mingyan had not yet broken through to the Yin Tomb Realm. And how long had it been? He was already at the Divine Gate Realm?!
What kind of genius was this?!
Mingyan did not stay here, but directly entered the area affected by the central abyss and rushed in the direction where his master had disappeared.
After entering the central abyss, Mingyan felt that his Dao techniques were suppressed. Even a special physique like the Human King Physique, which could be immune to some suppression, was not an exception in this place.
However, because it was still a shallow area, the impact Mingyan received was not too serious. No wonder these young generation cultivators dared to go deep into it.
Although the beast tide had already gone deeper into the central abyss, there were still many scattered ferocious beasts in this area. Although this barren land had no vegetation, there were many piles of rubble. These ferocious beasts were hidden in them. The closer one got to the depths, the more severe the suppression a cultivator received. In the end, they could not fly at all, so they needed to be very careful.
Mingyan went all the way forward without a moment’s pause. The suppression he received became stronger and stronger, and the Dao rules in the space became more chaotic. Mingyan had now basically lost the ability to use Dao techniques.
And the deeper he went, the more ferocious beasts and spirit beasts he could see. Many of them were Qi Sea Realm ferocious beasts, and there were also many Divine Gate Realm ferocious beasts. Even Mingyan was unwilling to get entangled with them and went around them. There was no need to waste time here. But on the way, he occasionally saw cultivators being chased by ferocious beasts and spirit beasts. A dignified Qi Sea Realm cultivator could only flee on foot. Such a scene was quite amusing.
Soon, Mingyan came to the entrance of a canyon. To continue forward, he had to pass through this canyon. Otherwise, he would have to take a long detour. Mingyan hesitated for a moment, then entered it. Not long after, he saw an acquaintance.
An Canhui and Ning Zetian were standing together. There were also some followers around them. Seeing Mingyan’s arrival, the two of them had different expressions. An Canhui was expressionless and looked away, while Ning Zetian showed a smile and greeted him, “Brother Ming, long time no see. I didn’t expect you to have already broken through to the Divine Gate Realm…”
Mingyan nodded and asked, “Does Brother Ning know what the situation is ahead?”
Ning Zetian shook his head. “Brother Bei Ming and Ning Feixuan have already gone deep into it. We are not clear about the situation ahead. Brother Ming, are you willing to go with us?”
Mingyan gently shook his head and refused Ning Zetian. Ning Zetian didn’t mind much and smiled. “I still have to thank you, Brother Ming, for clearing up the misunderstanding between me and Ning Feixuan. If you need help, feel free to ask at any time.”
Mingyan smiled and nodded, then passed them and walked into the depths of the canyon.
After Mingyan left, An Canhui finally spoke. “Does Brother Ning seem to have a good relationship with him?”
“He did me a big favor,” Ning Zetian smiled calmly. “Why do you ask, Brother An?”
“It’s nothing…” An Canhui shook his head. The two groups also continued to move forward together.
The canyon was very safe, and they didn’t encounter any danger. After walking out of the canyon, the scene before them suddenly opened up. Mingyan chose a high place to observe the nearby situation.
This area was full of potholes, with huge pits everywhere. Mingyan couldn’t see the beast tide, but with the naked eye, he could see some huge ferocious beasts moving here. Some were even tens of meters high. They were moving among the barren mountains, as if patrolling and checking the surrounding situation…
Mingyan frowned. The feeling these ferocious beasts gave him gave him a sense of déjà vu. They were very disciplined. Generally, this kind of discipline could only be seen in beasts that lived in groups like wolves. And these ferocious beasts were of different races. How could they show such discipline? Could something be controlling them?
An existence that could command a beast tide. Mingyan thought for a moment and felt a little terrified. Among those spirit beasts, there were many Human Gateway Realm existences, and not a small number. Although they didn’t have Emperor-level artifacts, their numbers were huge. If someone commanded them to attack the human and demon races, it would probably be quite bloody. Besides places like Sacred Lands and prominent families that could protect themselves, others would be ruthlessly trampled under the attack of the beast tide until they were turned into meat paste…
