Chapter 652: Chapter 652 - 648 That mouth of Suisui!
Yun Kuo looked up at the towering mountain peak that seemed impossibly high.
"The Spiritual Qi here is incredibly dense. This place is exclusively for the cultivation of Grand Master-level members of our Yun Family. Only my grandfather has broken through so far. Now it’s my father’s turn. He’s trying to break through, which is why he’s residing here."
"I knew Uncle was a Grand Master; I always felt that his aura was very similar to my elder brother’s!"
"Hm? Your elder brother?"
"My elder brother!"
"Don’t tell me, your elder brother is already at the Grandmaster level?"
Ji Youzhi blinked and then asked in return, "Didn’t I tell you that my elder brother is a Grand Master? He’s also the Sect Leader of the Illusion Sect."
"Illusion... Illusion Sect? What kind of Sect is that?"
"There are many factions among cultivators in the world, and each faction has various major and minor sects. The Illusion Sect is a place for cultivating Illusion Techniques. According to my elder brother, if we were to categorize it, it doesn’t fall under the Daoist Sect, the Profound Sect, or even Buddhism. It holds a place in both the Daoist Sect and the Profound Sect. However, some also say that Illusion Technique is an Evil Technique and should be considered part of the Demon Sect."
"Demon Sect?"
Ji Youzhi nodded. "However, in our world, the Demon Sect disappeared long ago. But I recently heard about another faction."
"What faction?"
"Witchcraft!"
"Witch? The kind of Witch that can commune with heaven and earth and command all things?"
"Witch! They can indeed commune with heaven and earth, but whether they can command all things, I don’t know. After all, I don’t practice Witchcraft!"
"Speaking of Witchcraft, you remind me of Miss Ah Ta, who is with you all. I always find her aura very strange. It’s not like the Daoist Sect, nor the Profound Sect; it feels deeply enigmatic!"
"She’s a Witch!"
"Really?"
The astonishment on Yun Kuo’s face was beyond words.
"What are you two rascals chattering about down there? Get up here already!"
From the mountaintop, Yun Cang’s voice suddenly boomed, startling Ji Youzhi immensely.
"Uncle..."
"My father knew we were here all along. The only reason I stood here talking with you for so long was because I didn’t want to climb!"
He gave a wry smile, his face a picture of resignation. With a heavy heart, he started the trek up the mountain with Ji Youzhi, relying solely on their own leg strength.
Inside the Main House, Old Island Master Yun prodded and poked Xiaosuisui, examining her from front to back. Finally, he nodded and then struck her on the back with his palm. A stream of invisible True Qi slowly entered Xiaosuisui’s body.
Xiaosuisui’s eyes widened in shock. "Great-Grandfather! What... What are you doing?"
"Don’t be afraid, girl. Your innate constitution is near perfect, extremely suitable for learning our Yun Family’s ancestral secret art, the Falling Fairy of the Yun River!"
"Falling Fairy of the Yun River? What is that? Why haven’t I heard of it before?"
"I don’t know the origin of this Cultivation Technique either, but your maternal grandfather does. It’s just that, back then, I never asked him about it."
"The Yun Family’s ancestral secret art, and you don’t even know its origins? This... AARGH..."
Xiaosuisui was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly felt excruciating pain all over her body, her Meridians twisting violently.
Old Island Master Yun’s powerful, deep voice echoed in her ears.
"The moon descends from sky to water’s embrace,
Coral within drinks clouds of vibrant grace.
Upon the clouds, ten thousand leagues we stride,
No reverence for Buddha, no immortal’s pride."
When Old Island Master Yun finished speaking, he withdrew his hand, sank his Qi into his Dantian, and finally nodded slightly.
"Indeed, only such a perfect body and a powerfully tempered soul can cultivate this art of the immortals!"
He laid the unconscious Xiaosuisui gently on the bed. Then, his own hair, which had only been slightly tinged with white, suddenly turned completely snow-white.
Xie Pan’Er sat in her room all night. It wasn’t until broad daylight that she realized Suisui hadn’t returned.
She couldn’t help but leave her room and head towards the Main House.
Her intention was to find Suisui, but halfway there, she encountered Li Yanyan and the Yun Family’s Third Madam.
"Stop!"
Li Yanyan shouted, halting Xie Pan’Er. Upon seeing her, Xie Pan’Er quickly greeted, "Miss Li."
She then inquired, "Miss Li, did you stop me for a particular reason?"
"I heard that Li Suisui is a blood relative of this Yun Family. I also heard that members of the Yun Family can never leave this island their entire lives."
Xie Pan’Er was inwardly horrified to hear this, but her expression remained unchanged.
"What is Miss Li trying to say? I don’t understand!"
"Hmph! You truly are as petty as one would expect. I’ve made myself so clear, and you still don’t understand."
"Indeed, our Xie Family is just a small and insignificant family. We certainly can’t compare to the Li Family that governs Zhongshu Province. Miss Li, if you have something to say, please speak plainly."
