CHAPTER 335: CHAPTER 220: THE EYES OF THE NETHERWORLD AND THE AURA OF GOOD AND EVIL_2

Si Nanyan cocked her head and said, "I heard his talent was too high, so the top echelons of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect took notice and chose him to be a Godson. There will be other training plans for him."

So talented he was chosen as a Godson and taken away by the top echelons of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect... Wen Zhixing’s face suddenly darkened.

The talents of these individuals were clear for all to see. Although the nature of Bai Luqiu’s spirit body was still unknown, given her young age and rapid advancement in cultivation, her Constitution had to be extraordinary. Liu Qingdai was even more remarkable; her divine soul was already indestructible, a trait that alone would make people scramble for her. As for Yun Xinyue and Wen Miner, their situation was due to the Fortune Divine Devil Skill; they had managed to cultivate it. At this point, inherent qualifications no longer mattered.

With this in mind, Wen Zhixing spoke again, "Where is my Master? Is he still here?"

"He’s not here anymore. Liu Qingxuan left yesterday to wander the world," Si Nanyan said. At the same time, feeling the dampness of her clothes, she tore off the thin gauze from her upper body and began to dress herself without embarrassment. One must maintain proper decorum in the Master’s presence, she thought.

"Cough, did my Master join the Purple Cloud Divine Sect?" Wen Zhixing turned his head away. Now is not the time to be appreciating beauty. Even if I’m full of Yang Qi, I must endure, he told himself.

"No, it seems Liu Qingxuan had no intention of staying from the very beginning." Si Nanyan stepped out completely from the hot spring, lifted her slender white feet, and began slipping on her comfortable pants. The beautiful scene by the hot spring grew even more dazzling.

"I understand. If anything comes up, contact me anytime." After hearing Si Nanyan’s words, Wen Zhixing calmed down considerably.

Liu Qingxuan’s departure, his choice not to stay, was actually good news. It meant that in Liu Qingxuan’s eyes, the Purple Cloud Divine Sect seemed decent enough. To confidently leave his daughter and disciples here meant he surely had his own considerations. Moreover, upon further thought, the natural talents of Wen Miner and Yun Xinyue were actually quite ordinary; it was only because both had cultivated the Fortune Divine Devil Skill. Liu Qingxuan, on the other hand, was powerful due to his divine soul. And a Genius Spirit Seed depends entirely on physical Constitution. The rapid progress in Bai Luqiu’s cultivation wasn’t solely due to her talent; the cultivation skill she practiced also played a big part. Even if these four were refined into Genius Spirit Seeds, the result wouldn’t be excellent.

"Thank goodness... thank goodness..." Wen Zhixing sighed deeply with relief internally. Upon reflection, there was indeed no need to worry excessively. On the contrary, I am the one truly in danger, the one who is seriously under scrutiny.

"Mr. Wen..." Seeing Wen Zhixing’s pace slow, Lianxin reached out and tugged at his sleeve, urging him cautiously. Is Mr. Wen frightened?

she wondered.

"Mr. Wen... my mistress will be back soon."

"I’m fine." Wen Zhixing turned his head with a smile, his expression unchanged. He patted Lianxin’s hand and continued walking forward.

The other two groups had been watching Wen Zhixing all along. Seeing Wen Zhixing fall so far behind, Qin Yang’s lips curled into a smirk. So much for Wen Zhixing, he thought. I haven’t even said much, yet he’s been scared all this time. With such little courage, I really don’t think much of him.

"Mr. Yang, is that the person who is to be refined into a Genius Spirit Seed for me?" the white-robed young man beside Qin Yang silently transmitted his thoughts.

"That’s him," Qin Yang nodded.

"But the aura on his body doesn’t seem very strong, and my Netherworld Eyes didn’t detect anything unusual." The white-robed young man seemed somewhat dissatisfied. He had already reached the pinnacle of the Sixth Realm in his cultivation. In fact, he could have broken through long ago. However, his own physique wasn’t that strong; though he could form a Genius Spirit Seed, it was still somewhat lacking by the standards of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect. The remaining Genius Spirit Seeds in the Divine Sect were also quite ordinary, none of which caught his interest. He had hoped to see what strong Constitution Wen Zhixing possessed. But now, it seemed quite ordinary.

"Hahaha, Tian’er, don’t worry. We might have misjudged this time. This is information from my Senior Brother Li," Qin Yang laughed out loud, disregarding the reactions of others. He didn’t pay much mind to Qin Tian’s words.

"So it was Senior Brother Li!" Qin Tian’s eyes finally lit up. If Senior Brother Li said so, then the credibility was at least 80% or higher.

"Someone even Senior Brother Li is wary of must have an extraordinary Constitution," Qin Yang said. His judgment was sharp. Even though he didn’t understand the other party’s specifics, he made sure to put on an impeccable outward performance.

Wen Zhixing sure hides his true depths... Qin Tian’s eyes flickered slightly, now satisfied.

From birth, he possessed a pair of Netherworld Eyes. These eyes were different from those of others. Right after his birth, they plunged the midwife’s room into darkness. After that, strange things kept happening. Of the servants who attended him, some committed suicide, some were killed by him, and others died inexplicably. Naturally, these people died because of the Netherworld Eyes and eventually became Netherworld creatures. This was the power of the Netherworld Eyes. Only the strong were unaffected by them.

Yes, the Netherworld Eyes were too powerful. Moreover, every use of the Netherworld Eyes would weaken the user’s body. This Qin Tian, constantly under the assault of the Netherworld Eyes on his flesh, had his Constitution growing weaker by the day. He could only seek a potent Genius Spirit Seed. Upon hearing about it, Wen Zhixing’s Constitution sounded extremely suitable.

Jiang Baiyu, following some distance behind Qin Yang and his companion, looked slightly worried. She and Lianxin were friends, after all. If something happened, she was willing to help. Although Qin Yang was domineering, she was not someone to be trifled with either.

"Senior Sister Jiang, Senior Sister Jiang, those two ahead are so bad," Lingyin and Lingle whispered, one on each side of her, tugging at her sleeves with their small hands.

"What’s wrong?" Jiang Baiyu’s expression shifted slightly. "Did you sense something?"

"There’s so much dark fog above those two’s heads," Lingyin whispered, seemingly having mustered all her courage.

Lingyin and Lingle possessed a special ability that allowed them to see a person’s malevolent and benevolent energies. Older sister Lingyin could see malevolent energy, while younger sister Lingle could see benevolent energy. Of course, the limitation was that they could only see the good and evil of the most recent day. They couldn’t use it to judge past events, but this was still enough.

"Lingyin and Lingle, be good; we don’t play with bad people," Jiang Baiyu said softly, stroking their heads. She had already guessed Qin Yang harbored ill intentions, but now she was certain. Of course, she hadn’t expected Qin Tian to harbor such strong malice as well.

Jiang Baiyu then asked, "What about the young lady and young gentleman behind us?"

"The young lady’s is red, and the young gentleman’s went from red to grey," Lingle replied, turning to look back. After confirming, she informed Jiang Baiyu.

"Grey? It seems he must have sensed it himself; that saves me the trouble of hinting at it." Jiang Baiyu instantly understood that the transition from red to grey indicated Wen Zhixing had noticed Qin Yang’s malice. Emitting malice is a bodily instinct.

"Lingyin and Lingle, from now on, don’t tell others that you can see these things," Jiang Baiyu added another word of caution.

"Mm-hmm," the two little ones nodded frantically.

With Jiang Baiyu, the two children acted more naturally, less restrained due to their familiarity with her.

Soon, Qin Yang, Jiang Baiyu, and the others each entered a grand hall. Wen Zhixing and Lianxin also quickened their pace, arriving before the hall moments later.

The sight revealed a great hall, dazzling with golden splendor and magnificently carved beams and rafters. Night pearls of extreme rarity were embedded everywhere – on the walls, floors, and even the ceiling. On the plaque beneath the eaves, several large characters were written in splendid, flamboyant calligraphy:

—Immortal Hall.

"Only by passing the examination will there be a chance to step into the Immortal Path in the future, huh..." Wen Zhixing’s eyes flickered slightly. The name ’Immortal Hall’ seems a bit much, he thought. To throw around ’Immortal’ so casually is quite audacious. Of course, I’m not one to meddle. His gaze then flicked inside the hall.

Inside the great hall, several tall jade sculptures were placed, carved into various vivid and lifelike exotic beasts. As each person approached, a jade-colored light flashed from these statues, emitting a potent yet subtle aura.

"Sir, let’s enter as well," Lianxin said, slipping her hands around Wen Zhixing’s wrists. Together, they stepped into the hall.

BUZZ!

In an instant, those jade sculptures began to glow from the inside out. Even their once lifeless eyes seemed to gain a spark of vitality.
