Chapter 122: The Yin-Yang Cave Heaven

  Island in the sea.

  Shi Yan and Xia Xinyan each ate a roasted fish, and their spirits improved a lot.

  Especially Xia Xinyan, after a roasted fish fruit belly, her complexion was much rosier.

  After eating his fill, Shi Yan pondered for a moment before suddenly taking out a small bottle from his backpack. He walked alone to the seaside and poured out a gray powder from the bottle, mixing it with seawater to apply on his face. He rubbed it in carefully.

  Before long, Shi Yan returned to Xia Xinyan's side.

  Xia Xinyan's eyes lit up, and she snorted softly, saying lightly: "This is your true face, isn't it? Pretending to be a ghost."

  In Shi Jia's place, in order to avoid revealing his identity at the Martial Arts Conference, Shi Jian found a master of disguise to change his appearance.

  Now that he is already in the endless sea, the Northern Ming family, Ling family, and Mo family have also been finished one after another. The disguise on his face no longer needs to be kept, so he has restored his original appearance.

  After removing the disguise, Shi Yan's appearance changed significantly. His dark skin turned a bit whiter, his two thick black eyebrows became slightly thinner, and seemed to be inserted into his temples like sharp swords. His facial features were angular and distinct, with less ferocity and more coldness, exuding an air of proud independence.

  Shi Yan is not a handsome man, but he has a unique temperament, giving people a sense of strong will and boldness.

  Xia Xinyan stared at him for a few moments, then said: "Your current appearance is only worthy of your arrogant and despicable behavior!"

  Shi Yan was shocked and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time: "Are you praising me or scolding me?"

  "What do you think?"

  Shaking his head, Shiyue didn't dwell on the topic with her and his expression gradually turned solemn. Suddenly, he asked: "That Demon Emperor Moyin, who exactly is he?"

  As soon as he thought of this terrifying figure, Shi Yan's heart felt a chill. Being able to tear through the void and directly grab and take away the Shura King Xiao Han's clothes from the Heavenly Realm was an earth-shattering feat that deeply shocked him.

  "Bo Xun is one of the two great demon emperors of the Fourth Demon Domain."

  As soon as Shi Yan mentioned this formidable expert, Xia Xunyan's face also turned somewhat unsightly. "In the Fourth Demon Area, there are two Demon Emperors, namely Bo Xun and Chi Yan. Both of them possess abilities that can shake heaven and earth, their magical powers are unfathomable, and their strength is boundless. It's said that both of them have already set foot into the realm of True Gods."

  "Devil people also cultivate martial arts? And they have the same level classification as us?" Shi Yan was astonished.

  "Of course." Xia Xinyan nodded and explained: "Not only do demons cultivate martial arts, but even the people of the Seven Hells in the underworld also cultivate martial arts! However, whether it's demons or people from the underworld, the power they gather is different from ours. Demons are in the demon realm, absorbing the demonic energy of heaven and earth, while people from the underworld are in the Seven Hells, absorbing the yin energy of heaven and earth. Both demonic energy and yin energy are like the primordial energy here, also a kind of energy cluster in the world. Apart from demons and people from the underworld, there are some alien tribes in the Endless Ocean that cultivate different heavenly powers than us, but whether it's demonic energy, yin energy, or primordial energy, they are all forms of heavenly energy... In terms of martial artists' cultivation, the boundaries are similar..."

  Xia Xinyan explained in detail, imparting some common knowledge about the Endless Sea to Shi Yan, mentioning the Demon Clan, the Nether Clan, and the differences between their Divine Realm and the Divine Grace Continent.

  "Mo Di Bo Xun..." Shi Yan's face sank, "Why did he make a move on Xiao Shu?"

  "In those years, the master of the Yang family, Yang Qingdi, led the strong men of the Shi family into the Fourth Demon Domain. In the Fourth Demon Domain, he killed a demon lord. Didn't Elder Xiao tell you about this?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "That demon master was one of the demon masters under Demon Emperor Moyin's command! In the Fourth Demon Domain, there were four demon masters. Two of them surrendered to Chiyan Demon Emperor, and the other two were loyal followers of Moyin Demon Emperor. Yang Qingdi killed one of Moyin's demon masters, so naturally, Moyin would take action against the Yang family."

  "Bo Xun's foot was about to step into the realm of the true god, even if he wanted to take action, he should have found the master of the Yang family, why did he find Xiao Shu?" Shi Yan was perplexed.

  "Who said Poyun took action himself?" Xia Xinyan glanced at him and said lightly: "That white bone giant hand is just one of Poyun's three white bone law bodies, the white bone law body has Poyun's life imprint, but it's not Poyun's true body. Poyun's true body has always been in the Fourth Demon Domain's Wanmo Cave, and won't easily come out. If this time is really the true body of Demon Emperor Poyun taking action, can you and I still escape?"

  "What?" Shi Yan's face was shocked, "You're saying that the white bony giant hand is just... one palm of one of Bo Xun's three White Bone Law Bodies?"

  "Not bad."

  His heart was as firm as a rock.

  It was just one of the white bone Dharma bodies' hands that stirred up such a huge commotion in the endless sea, tearing through the void and directly pulling Xiao Hansheng out. How powerful must Mo Di's magical powers be?

  Xia Xinyan seemed to know the shock in his heart and didn't rush to speak, but looked at him with great interest.

  "Hmph, Shi Yan's eyes were firm and he said calmly: 'Indeed formidable, I truly hope that one day I can have a battle with the Demon Emperor Mo Yu'?"

  Xia Xinyan was shocked, her beautiful eyes shining with an otherworldly light. "You only have the cultivation of a hundred calamities and one heavy heaven, yet you dare to boast that you can fight against Poyun? Even if you were to cultivate for another hundred years, you would still not be a match for Poyun's white bone law body. The Yang family is indeed full of arrogant and self-aggrandizing people who do not know their own place."

  Shi Yan smiled, "I'm still young, I have plenty of time to catch up. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be able to command the heavens and split the sky with a single hand."

  Xia Xinyan nodded silently after a brief pause, without saying much more. However, her impression of Shi Yan had slightly improved in her heart.

  Generally, warriors who have witnessed the divine power of Demon Emperor Moyun will likely be forever traumatized, to say nothing of fighting him. Even during their cultivation, they may often be affected by that shadow, and it's possible that they won't be able to shake it off for their entire lives.

  Shi Yan's heart was as hard as iron, not only fearless, but also seemed to have ignited a fierce ambition to contend with the Demon Emperor Mo Xuan, revealing an arrogant idea of competing with him. With such a temperament, as long as his luck and talent kept up, he would inevitably become a great figure in the future.

  "Will something happen to Uncle Xiao?" Shi Yan suddenly sighed and said gloomily: "Uncle Xiao has taken great care of me in the business alliance, I really don't want anything to happen to him. Alas, unfortunately my current strength is not enough, otherwise I would definitely kill my way into the Fourth Demon Domain and snatch Uncle Xiao from Bo Yun's hands."

  "I don't know either." Xia Xinyan shook her head, "Even if it's just Bojun's white bone Dharmakaya, I'm afraid it's not something that Lord Xiao can handle. I hope Lord Xiao will be lucky and able to escape this calamity."

  Shi Yan's face was filled with a sense of helplessness and despair, shaking his head and sighing softly: "If Uncle Xiao has any business, one day I will avenge him and slaughter that Demon Emperor, Bo Xun."

  Xia Xinyan's face changed, and she was even more shocked by Shi Yan's arrogance. In the vast and endless sea, there were many strong people, and masters were as numerous as the stars in the sky, but no one dared to say that they could slaughter Bo Xun.

  This guy is just a beginner, having just entered the martial world, under the clearly visible demonic emperor's overwhelming terror, he actually dares to utter such arrogant words, isn't he truly insane?

  Shi Yan didn't explain and he also didn't think it was arrogant.

  The reason is none other than the mysterious martial soul within his body, which has already contained infinite possibilities!

  As long as he continues to kill his way through, he can naturally absorb enough negative energy to transform into a strange power that nourishes his martial soul and essence.

  He only needs to kill a thousand or two people, and he can make up for decades of hard work by ordinary people. With the characteristics of the mysterious martial soul, sooner or later, he will be able to have a face-to-face conversation with Demon Emperor Baojun. Of course, this is something he would never tell anyone else.

  For the next two days, Shi Yan and Xia Xinyan stayed on the deserted island, drinking fish blood and eating fish meat to survive.

  The vast ocean, endless and boundless, without any flying monsters or large ships, blindly leaving is not as wise as staying on the small island.

  Xia Xinyan also acknowledged this, and for the past two days, the two of them only came together when eating fish meat and drinking fish blood; otherwise, they were each cultivating on their own, not disturbing each other.

  Another day passed.

  Zuo, who was meditating on the beach, suddenly sensed a hard object and his face lit up with joy. He quickly stood up and shouted to Xia Xinyan: "There's a boat!"

  On the other side of the island, Xia Xinyan also hurried over and followed Shi Yan to gaze out at the east.

  In an instant, a huge iron ship slowly emerged, and in the sea breeze, the brocade flag on the iron ship fluttered, majestic.

  "Ahhhhh! Ahhh!"

  Shi Yan let out a loud shout, his shrill voice piercing through the sky, like a mournful howl.

  Xia Xinyan scrunched up her face, covered her ears, muttered a curse under her breath, and glared at him with hatred in her eyes.

  That huge iron ship seemed to have heard the call from this side and slowly moved towards this direction.

  Shi Yan waved his hand and continued to shout loudly.

  "Huh!" He suddenly exclaimed, with a hint of ambiguity on his face, and said with a smile: "Xin Yan, that ship is quite interesting."

  On that huge iron ship, there were flags embroidered with vivid Spring Palace diagrams, including old men pushing carts, Guanyin sitting on lotus flowers, and women inserting flowers behind their backs, with many different patterns. In the sea breeze, those Spring Palace diagrams fluttered, and the vivid men and women on them seemed to come alive, as if they were in motion.

  Xia Xinyan's face turned red, and she suddenly remembered something, exclaiming: "The people of Yinyang Cave Heaven!"

  With that said, Xia Xinyan hastily touched the emerald ring on her hand, took out a packet of medicinal powder and hurriedly applied it to her face.

  In just a few short minutes, Xia Xinyan seemed like a completely different person.

  Her stunning looks that had captivated everyone disappeared completely, her face turned dark yellow and was covered in acne, transforming her into a somewhat ugly young girl.

  "What's wrong with you?" Shi Yan was shocked.

  "The people of the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven are extremely liberal when it comes to relationships between men and women, and they are a unique force in the Endless Sea. The disciples of the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven can cultivate their appearance through absorption and refinement, making them targets for exceptionally beautiful men and women. If I reveal my true identity now that my powers have not yet recovered, I fear it would be like throwing myself into the tiger's den." Xia Xinyan said calmly after finishing all this.

  "Ah!" Shi Yan exclaimed, looking bitter. "So a man of such extraordinary talent and remarkable appearance as myself is going to be doomed?"

  "Hmm, the male disciple of Yinyang Cave Heaven also has a good reputation." Xia Xinyan said calmly and indifferently.

  "Also good for men?" This time, Shi Yan's face really changed color.
