Chapter 367 Primordial Unity Seal

Within the dim prison cell, the raggedly dressed Lin Lingzhou sat cross-legged on the ground. His hair was disheveled as he stared toward the tiny window. Beyond the window lay a vast blue sky, where seabirds occasionally swept past.

Having been imprisoned here for several months already, his mood had finally recovered somewhat.

He had once wallowed in self-blame, feeling that he had caused trouble for Li Qingqiu. He had even attempted suicide, but Ziyang Island guarded him closely and had placed numerous restrictions upon his body.

The moment he tried to kill himself, he would immediately faint.

Rather than remaining unconscious all the time, he might as well think of ways to escape.

With that mindset, Lin Lingzhou constantly listened to the conversations of passing Ziyang Island disciples and managed to gather quite a bit of information.

Recently, Ziyang Island was preparing some kind of grand sacrificial ceremony, intending to revive a certain ancestor.

This matter gave Lin Lingzhou a bad feeling.

Although he could not judge Ziyang Island’s true strength, the fact that they dared to threaten the Clear Sky Sect using him meant they were definitely no simple force. And now they even intended to revive an ancestor—

That was absolutely not good news.

At this moment, Lin Lingzhou was thinking about how to transmit this information outwards. He guessed that Ziyang Island had already laid a heavenly net, simply waiting for Eldest Senior Brother to walk into it.

Bang!

The prison door shook loudly.

Immediately afterward, the prison door was pushed open and a figure walked inside.

It was a man dressed in a yellow robe. He had a goatee, black-and-white hair, deeply sunken eyes, and an ominous gloom within his brows.

Lin Lingzhou glanced at the yellow-robed man before closing his eyes again.

“Lin Lingzhou, are you truly determined to seek death?”

The yellow-robed man asked coldly.

Without even opening his eyes, Lin Lingzhou responded, “What? Do you dare kill me?”

“As long as you are willing, Ziyang Island can help you become the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect.”

The yellow-robed man continued speaking.

Hearing this, Lin Lingzhou could not help but smile.

It was a mocking smile.

Even if something happened to Eldest Senior Brother, the position of Sect Master would absolutely never fall to him.

Moreover, Eldest Senior Brother was unimaginably powerful. Even if he fell into a trap, he would certainly escape. At worst, he might suffer injuries.

Ever since arriving at the Clear Sky Sect, Lin Lingzhou had already developed blind trust toward Li Qingqiu.

Deep in his heart, he even held a trace of longing—

Longing for Eldest Senior Brother to come save him.

Seeing Lin Lingzhou remain silent, the yellow-robed man snorted coldly and raised his right hand.

Lightning erupted forth like a net, enveloping Lin Lingzhou.

“AAAHHH——”

Lin Lingzhou released a miserable scream. His entire body collapsed onto the ground, convulsing violently as lightning intertwined and flashed across him. Threads of fresh blood sprayed out from the wounds covering his body.

The yellow-robed man expressionlessly watched this scene.

The lightning illuminated his face, making him appear utterly merciless.

……

After entrusting the mission of rescuing Lin Lingzhou to the Sword Demon and Shen Yue, Li Qingqiu no longer kept the matter in mind.

On this day, he brought Yin Jingxing into a forest to cultivate the Heavenly Gang Golden Body Technique.

Yin Jingxing’s movements appeared extremely stiff, completely lacking Li Qingqiu’s smooth and flowing elegance. However, he remained very serious, his eyes tightly fixed upon his master.

At that moment, a figure approached.

It was Yun Cai.

As she walked over, she said, “Sect Master, I’ve gained new insights into the Primordial Unity Scripture. Would you like to take a look?”

Li Qingqiu maintained the body-tempering movements of the Heavenly Gang Golden Body Technique while casually replying, “Wait until we finish practicing.”

Yun Cai hesitated slightly.

She could tell that Yin Jingxing was struggling greatly while cultivating the Heavenly Gang Golden Body Technique. Interrupting his cultivation time now truly would not be appropriate.

Her gaze landed upon Yin Jingxing, filled with curiosity.

Within her All-Law Spiritual Eyes, Yin Jingxing appeared extremely ordinary, with no hidden special power whatsoever. Yet she simply could not regard Yin Jingxing as an ordinary person.

Not only her—

The entire sect was like this.

The more mediocre Yin Jingxing appeared, the greater the disciples’ expectations toward him became. Everyone felt he was the next Yuan Li.

Whenever newer disciples failed to understand, older disciples would introduce Yuan Li’s past to them.

This created an extremely strange phenomenon—

The weaker Yin Jingxing appeared, the higher people rated his future potential.

A long while later—

Yin Jingxing finally sat down while panting heavily. Sweat poured from him like rain, and most of his hair had become soaked.

Li Qingqiu turned toward Yun Cai and asked, “What ideas do you have? Tell me.”

Yun Cai had spent years studying the Primordial Unity Scripture. The Vital Energy within her had already nearly caught up to Ji Ya, though no one knew this.

In terms of Vital Energy alone, she already possessed dozens of times more than Zhao Zhen, Sword Du, Xu Ning, and the others.

Moreover, she had not sparred with anyone for a very long time.

Yun Cai glanced at Yin Jingxing before beginning to explain her understanding of the Primordial Unity Scripture.

The Primordial Unity Seal she mentioned immediately interested Li Qingqiu greatly.

She was the person within the Clear Sky Sect who had studied the Primordial Unity Scripture the deepest. She fully understood the importance of the Primordial Unity Scripture and felt that Li Qingqiu had been far too careless in spreading it.

She did not wish for the Primordial Unity Scripture to leak outward, and thus developed an idea.

The Primordial Unity Seal—

It could imprint itself upon every cultivator of the Primordial Unity Scripture and place a soul restriction upon them. If someone attempted to pass the Primordial Unity Scripture to another person, they would suffer backlash from the restriction.

As for the degree of backlash, Yun Cai was still considering it.

After hearing this, Li Qingqiu became rather delighted.

He likewise did not wish for the Primordial Unity Scripture to leak out, but for the time being, he had no better methods.

He asked Yun Cai to explain the cultivation method behind the Primordial Unity Seal.

At present, Yun Cai only possessed a conceptual framework for the Primordial Unity Seal, but she still explained everything in meticulous detail, giving Li Qingqiu tremendous inspiration.

Sitting on the ground, Yin Jingxing blankly stared at Yun Cai.

He only felt that Yun Cai was incredibly amazing.

Only someone like her was worthy of being his master’s disciple.

After a long while, Yun Cai departed, leaving behind a proud silhouette.

Yin Jingxing climbed back to his feet and walked before Li Qingqiu, raising his head to ask, “Master, when will I become as powerful as Senior Sister Yun Cai?”

Li Qingqiu, who had still been contemplating the Primordial Unity Seal, snapped back to his senses. Looking at his little disciple’s expectant expression, he raised a hand and rubbed Yin Jingxing’s head.

“That depends on your enlightenment. Your potential is no weaker than hers.”

“Master, how do I achieve enlightenment?”

“You’ve loved staring at the sun since childhood. Perhaps blazing fire is the key to your transformation.”

Li Qingqiu spoke meaningfully.

Although Yin Jingxing was still young, if he could awaken the Extreme Yang True Body earlier, he could become stronger sooner.

Originally, Li Qingqiu had not intended to rush this matter. However, just like Yuan Li in the past, Yin Jingxing had already begun feeling pressure from within the sect.

As the Sect Master’s disciple, Yin Jingxing did not want to lose to others.

“Blazing fire…”

Yin Jingxing muttered thoughtfully.

The sun gradually sank below the horizon.

Even after Yin Jingxing returned to his own courtyard, he was still thinking about the matter.

He lived together with Ji Ya. In order to care for him, Ji Ya had greatly reduced the number of times he went into secluded cultivation within his Cave Dwelling.

At this moment, Ji Ya was refining pills within the courtyard. He was highly interested in the art of alchemy and had recently been continuously experimenting with it.

When he saw Yin Jingxing entering the courtyard with his head lowered, Ji Ya smiled and asked, “Little Junior Brother, what are you thinking about at such a young age? You look completely absent-minded.”

Hearing this, Yin Jingxing subconsciously raised his head.

Immediately afterward, his attention was captured by the alchemy furnace behind Ji Ya.

More accurately—

It was captured by the flames beneath the alchemy furnace.

He had long since discovered that not only was he deeply fascinated by the sun, but he also possessed tremendous curiosity toward flames.

Recalling what his master had said earlier, his gaze instantly became locked onto the blazing fire beneath the alchemy furnace, unable to move away.
