Yan Lingyun’s New Body

The Demon Venerable’s remnant power was no longer sufficient.

She cast a difficult glance towards the exit, then closed her eyes.

“My child, live well.”

This was the last obsession the Demon Venerable left in this world.

“Where are they?”

“Where are the little girl and the two demon beasts?”

Jin Mei, finding the place empty, immediately roared in anger.

Venerable Sun’s gaze swept the area, and he quickly discovered the passage in the crystal wall.

He teleported in front of it in an instant.

“This?”

“Pavilion Master, there’s a secret passage here.”

“They must have escaped through here,” Venerable Sun said.

Jin Mei hurried over and peered inside, then looked around at the rare stone lode.

“That wretched girl took the spirit mother lode and all the most valuable treasures from here.”

“We can’t let her escape, or our Qianjin Pavilion will have suffered a great loss this time.”

“Venerable Sun, Venerable Liu, the two of you go after that little girl and bring her and that little fox back to me,” Jin Mei commanded in a fit of rage.

‘If they truly let Yan Yun escape, they would have done all this work for someone else’s benefit.’

“But, Pavilion Master, that little girl has an extremely powerful Divine Venerable Talisman on her.”

“What if we push her too far and she activates it?”

“With my old bones, I can’t block it,” Venerable Sun said, a hint of fear in his voice.

Jin Mei’s face twitched.

“Then just keep an eye on her.”

“Don’t let her escape your sight.”

“I will apply to the headquarters and have them dispatch a more powerful Divine Venerable to assist,” Jin Mei stated.

With Jin Mei’s words, the two of them immediately pursued them into the passage.

Yan Yun and her companions had already emerged from a hidden mountain cave within the Wuyin Mountain Range.

The moment they came out, they didn’t have time to think, immediately taking to the skies and fleeing into the distance.

A moment after they flew away, the two powerful Divine Venerables from Qianjin Pavilion followed.

They kept their distance, neither intercepting Yan Yun nor letting her escape their divine sense lock.

“Little girl, stop running.”

“The continent is only so big.”

“Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you won’t escape our sight.”

“The Divine Venerable Talisman in your hand is powerful, but it’s ultimately a one-time use treasure,” Venerable Sun transmitted to Yan Yun via divine sense.

Yan Yun glanced behind her.

This was going to be difficult.

“No other choice, Old Ancestor.”

“I’ll have to hide in the Heavenly Tome space,” Yan Yun said, then pulled Heiyue and Xiao Leng into the Heavenly Tome space with her, suddenly vanishing from Venerable Sun and his companion’s divine sense lock.

“What?”

“Where did they go?”

“How did they suddenly disappear?” the two said anxiously after arriving at the spot where Yan Yun had vanished.

A living person had suddenly disappeared right in front of them.

It was too strange.

The three of them searched the area carefully, but found nothing.

“It’s over.”

“Did she escape?”

“Or is there a powerful expert secretly helping her?”

The other Venerable was also anxious.

Two Divine Venerables had been tailing a single cultivator, yet they had let her escape right under their noses.

How were they going to explain this to Jin Mei when they returned?

Meanwhile, with Yan Yun and her companions.

“Ah! We can only hide here for now.”

The two old men searching everywhere spoke with helpless expressions.

Xiao Leng and Heiyue, on the other hand, looked at the mysterious space in astonishment.

This space looked very strange, like an illusionary world.

“Third Sister, this is?” Xiao Leng was astonished.

“It’s a treasure of mine.”

“As for what it is, I can’t tell you for now,” Yan Yun stated directly.

They were brothers from a past life.

Hearing Yan Yun say this, Xiao Leng didn’t ask any further.

A secret that even she couldn’t be told meant that the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

“Old Ancestor, what should we do now?”

“We can’t just hide here forever, can we?” Yan Yun called out to Yan Lingyun.

Yan Lingyun immediately flew over from somewhere and landed in front of Xiao Leng and her companion.

“Let’s just wait them out.”

“They can’t possibly stay here forever,” Yan Lingyun replied.

Xiao Leng and Heiyue were stunned again upon seeing Yan Lingyun.

“This?”

“Third Sister, is she the Old Ancestor you mentioned, the Heavenly Poison Maiden?” Xiao Leng asked quickly.

Yan Yun nodded.

“Yes, you know her identity, so I won’t introduce her.”

“Big Sister, this is my Yan family’s Old Ancestor and also my master, the Heavenly Poison Maiden, Yan Lingyun.”

“You don’t need to be too respectful to her.”

“She’s just a woman who looks very old but is irreverent and does as she pleases,” Yan Yun introduced Yan Lingyun to Xiao Leng.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Lingyun instantly appeared behind Yan Yun and landed a heavy punch on her head.

“You brat, have some respect.”

“Although I am a kind person, I still have face to maintain, you know?” Yan Lingyun complained.

The words “kind person” immediately caused a large drop of cold sweat to form on Xiao Leng’s forehead.

She thought, ‘You, a kind person? You are the most peerless female demon to appear in recent millennia.’

Indeed, in terms of infamy, Yan Lingyun was at least the most notorious woman of the last three thousand years.

Even the Evil Emperor’s reputation wasn’t as resounding as hers.

“Little fox, I know you were also a man in your past life, just like her.”

“But since you were brothers in your past life, I’ll take advantage of that.”

“From now on, you can just call me Ancestral Grandmother,” Yan Lingyun said seriously.

But, looking at her, how could she possibly look like someone’s ancestral grandmother?

However, Xiao Leng didn’t hesitate much.

“Alright, Ancestral Grandmother,” Xiao Leng called out directly.

This address was very pleasing to Yan Lingyun.

“See, you brat?”

“Your big sister here is much more sensible.”

Yan Yun rolled her eyes.

“By the way, little fox, here’s a meeting gift, so you can’t say this elder is stingy.”

Yan Lingyun raised her hand, grabbed a scroll from a nearby bookshelf, and tossed it to Xiao Leng.

Xiao Leng quickly transformed into her human form to catch it.

She opened it and saw the words written on it: Nine Transformations of the Demon God.

“Ancestral Grandmother, this is?” Xiao Leng was a little confused.

“This is a top-tier demon clan cultivation technique.”

“It should be very suitable for you.”

“Take it and have fun,” Yan Lingyun said with a calm expression.

Yan Yun, standing by, was shocked.

“This?”

“Old Ancestor, the techniques here can be given to others?”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“If the techniques here can be given away, I should have taken them out and given them to my wife and the others long ago,” Yan Yun said, astonished.

Because she truly hadn’t known before that the cultivation techniques stored in the Heavenly Tome space could be given to others.

But Yan Lingyun shook her head.

“It wasn’t possible before.”

“Just a few days ago, I found that I seemed to be able to casually grab the techniques here.”

“I don’t know if it’s because I’ve stayed in the Heavenly Tome space for too long, but I’m starting to be able to gradually control this place,” Yan Lingyun said with a solemn expression.

‘That was very strange. It was known that Yan Yun could only view the techniques here when a certain mechanism was triggered.’

“Is that so?”

“Then, then see if there’s anything suitable for me,” Yan Yun said quickly.

Yan Lingyun shook her head.

“I can only say that the poison art is the most suitable technique for you at present.”

“You can only build upon the poison art to strengthen and improve the Heavenly Poison Sutra.”

“The cultivation technique books stored here are all for conventional cultivators.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Yun immediately became dejected.

But on second thought, it made sense.

The predecessors couldn’t possibly create cultivation techniques that later cultivators couldn’t use.

“Alas! Then don’t be stingy, give this little doggy of mine a copy too,” Yan Yun stated.

Heiyue looked at Yan Lingyun with expectant eyes.

Yan Lingyun thought for a moment.

“Alright, but this little black dog’s bloodline is average, so she can’t cultivate overly powerful techniques.”

“For now, I’ll give her a technique to transform her bloodline.”

“First, strengthen your bloodline, then you can cultivate some powerful demonic arts,” Yan Lingyun once again grabbed a scroll and tossed it to Heiyue.

Heiyue quickly transformed into her human form to catch the scroll.

“Many, many thanks, Senior, for the gift,” Heiyue said gratefully.

“Thank your master,” Yan Lingyun waved her hand.

Heiyue immediately looked at Yan Yun, her eyes completely different from before.

“Don’t look at me like that.”

“I told you, if you follow me, you’ll eat and drink well,” Yan Yun replied.

After some conversation, Yan Yun began to examine the treasures she had collected.

“So this is Leng Xinshuang.”

“Only her body is left, right?”

“How has it not decayed?”

“It’s just like a living person.”

Yan Yun walked up to Leng Xinshuang’s physical body, reached out and poked her cheek.

The elastic feeling was not like that of a corpse at all.

Yan Lingyun flew over and examined it.

She hadn’t paid much attention to it before, but after this examination, her eyes lit up.

“Eh… little one, you’ve done a great service,” Yan Lingyun suddenly became happy.

Seeing Yan Lingyun suddenly so happy, Yan Yun naturally thought that this physical body would be of great use to her.

“What’s wrong?”

“Is this body useful to you?” Yan Yun understood in an instant.

“That’s right, the owner of this body chose to undergo self-dissolution, which is to say, she voluntarily let her soul reincarnate, leaving her physical body perfectly intact.”

“Coupled with the nourishment of the spiritual energy from the spirit vein, her body has not decayed at all.”

“I should be able to occupy her body,” Yan Lingyun explained.

With that, Yan Lingyun transformed into a stream of light and entered Leng Xinshuang’s body.

Soon, a purple energy began to emanate from the originally lifeless body.

This purple energy was a complete mismatch with Leng Xinshuang’s temperament and appearance.

Leng Xinshuang’s temperament was similar to Jiang Yao’s; she was likely also a cultivator who primarily practiced ice-attribute techniques.

After the purple energy emanated for a while, Leng Xinshuang opened her eyes.

She was stunned for a moment, then raised her hands and clenched her fists.

“Haha, it really works.”

“This woman was a Great Accomplishment Divine Venerable who had reached perfection in three realms before she died.”

“The power in her body is well-preserved.”

“Although I can’t completely possess this body and resurrect for now, if my remnant soul gradually becomes stronger and more complete, I might be able to resurrect through this body.”

The person now controlling this body was Yan Lingyun.

Yan Yun, standing by, was genuinely happy for her ancestor now that she had a usable body.

“Congratulations, Old Ancestor.”

Yan Lingyun stood up and stretched her body.

“Oh dear, it’s a bit awkward.”

“I can’t use the poison art with this body, but I can use its power,” Yan Lingyun laughed.

She still needed some time to master the power contained within this body.

As for Jin Mei outside, after receiving the news that Yan Yun had escaped, she immediately cursed Venerable Sun and his companion with a torrent of abuse.
