Chapter 721: Choosing a Direction

"Leave now. Stop your delusions and you might preserve your fragile lives." Ye Yun waved his hand, withdrawing his oppressive aura. As Nascent Soul cultivators scattered in panic, he concealed his cultivation level once more.

"Ye Yun’s concealment technique is remarkable. Even Ling’er can’t see through his realm now. He’s full of secrets." Shui Lingling smiled brightly at him, growing more fond of his selfless act of using precious high-level heavenly materials and earthly treasures to aid her ailing sister.

From Shui Yingying, she’d learned these treasures were priceless relics – each companion heavenly material surpassing even supreme Immortal artifacts in value. A single one could command millions of top-tier spirit stones.

"What does possessing a supreme Immortal artifact mean?" Shui Lingling mused. "Only those who’ve wielded or faced one understand. It allows crushing same-realm opponents unless they possess supreme techniques."

"Passable, but still inferior to Starry Sky methods." With his cultivation hidden, Ye Yun appeared ordinary. Yet Shui Lingling knew his true power, finding comfort in their alliance – his strength benefited their group.

"Where next?" Ye Yun absorbed spiritual energy from a shattered top-tier Immortal Spirit Stone before addressing the sisters.

"The jade tablet’s coordinates feel distorted. Someone tampered with it." Shui Yingying’s shoulders slumped. The Immortal Dao Sect’s interference stung – even her brief respite was poisoned by sect politics.

"Don’t fret, Ling’er. Without this tablet, our trio with Ye Yun can still claim Heavenly Immortal inheritance." Shui Yingying cradled her sister’s head, murderous intent flickering behind gentle eyes. She’d remember those who caused this pain.

"The Nine Yin Body’s innate bloodlust needs no honing," Sword Path Ancestor remarked through Ye Yun’s consciousness.

"Her constitution leans Yin. Natural reaction," Ye Yun countered.

"Such affinity with the Dao! If I possessed that physique…" The Ancestor trailed off. "Where’s the inheritance? Your Soul Power should detect it."

"My Soul Power’s depleted without origin sources," the Ancestor grumbled, devouring soul-nourishing treasures. His eyes lit up. "To Seven Demon Heavens! Demon Gods’ remnant souls linger there."

"You’d consume Demon God remnants?" Ye Yun raised an eyebrow. "They rival Heavenly Immortal souls."

"Boy, at full power I could cleave moon goddess manifestations!" The Ancestor glared. "My Two Extremes Sword Path once felled Celestials. Seventh-layer demons won’t stop us."

"Then let’s hunt demons." Ye Yun’s eyes shimmered sun-and-moon bright, purging surrounding dead air. "I’ll relive the Immortal-Demon War’s grandeur."

"What’s happening?" Shui Lingling asked as Ye Yun’s aura flared. His growing power unsettled her – he’d matched her Starry Sky methods before, but now…

"The jade tablet’s compromised," Shui Yingying warned, clutching her glowing Purple Stone. "We’ll search manually. Some Heavenly Immortal’s legacy must remain."

"That’s needle-in-sea searching!" Shui Lingling protested before brightening. "Let’s ‘ask’ others! Star Soul Control could make them… cooperative."

"Weren’t you preaching fairness earlier?" Ye Yun sighed. The sisters’ ruthlessness toward outsiders still surprised him.

"Got better ideas?" Shui Lingling challenged.

"Expand consciousness across the Broken Space. Map everything."

"Brilliant!" She immediately tried, then yelped as invisible needles stabbed her mind. "It hurts!"

"Fool girl." Ye Yun shook his head. "My method’s dangerous but possible. Celestial rules here could kill me."

"Then forget it!" Shui Lingling interjected. "We’ll use soul searching instead."

Ye Yun shrugged. "I’m confident." His tranquil eyes belied the storm within – ancient well hiding turbulent depths.
