Chapter 97: Heartbreak — Chapter 99: Crisis Suddenly Descends

  Lin Yueyin was cultivating the Taiyin Volume as an auxiliary method, but she never expected that the divine-level method would not be as simple as she had imagined. At first, the cultivation went well, but when she reached the second level of the divine method, the spiritual energy and mental state cultivated by the "Unmoving Ice Heart Technique" were all assimilated by it.

  The spiritual energy in Lin Yue's body transformed into a liquid true yuan, and the unmoving icy heart was thoroughly dissolved, returning to its original state. The girlish temperament hidden deep within her heart was released. It could no longer maintain the previous emotional state where all seven emotions and six desires were frozen.

  But for some reason, Lin Yueyun was even happier than before. The release of her nature made her feel that a layer of shackles had been opened, and her soul had been liberated. Her understanding of the world also became more profound. Even during one meditation session, she unexpectedly touched the edge of the law.

  At the same time, the pure and flowing spiritual yuan made her marvel at the greatness of the divine technique. Whether it was a martial spirit or a divine thought, only when one reached the heavenly level would their spiritual power liquefy into spiritual yuan. But she had achieved this at the earthly level. In this moment, Lin Yueyun finally understood why Yang Tong's strength was not like that of an ordinary earthly-level cultivator. Using spiritual yuan to activate martial techniques and secret arts was naturally much stronger than using spiritual energy, which also explained why he could use a fourth-grade spiritual equipment suit.

  For three years, she hadn't been bothered by even a thread, and Lin Yueyin had become accustomed to her current state. She didn't even know why, but she simply didn't mind Yang Tong's brazen gaze.

  "Come out and eat." Yang Tong's voice came in.

  Lin Yueyin walked out of the stone room without any hesitation, wearing the strange and exotic clothing that Yang Tong had given her, which covered the key areas and made Lin Yueyin feel happy from the bottom of her heart. Although she was used to walking naked in the cave two years ago, every time she met Yang Tong's gaze, she would always feel shy, but also helpless.

  "Yang Tong, I'm curious, you haven't gone out in three years, where did all this food come from?" Lin Yueyun looked at the fruits and water on the table, she had been wanting to ask for a long time, but only asked today because Yang Tong's mood was particularly good.

  "I had prepared enough food and water for twenty years three years ago, because I made up my mind to rescue my parents and then retreat from the world for twenty years. Twenty years is enough time for me to break through to the Sky level." Yang Tong replied truthfully, looking at a nearly naked beauty, this requires great determination, Yang Tong couldn't help but admire the legendary Liu Xiaohui, how did he cultivate his calmness in the face of temptation? Is it really what people say, that he is an incompetent fake man?

  Anyway, Yang Tong admitted that if he didn't have his own purpose, he might not be able to wait any longer and now wanted to pounce on Lin Yueyin and devour her completely. In the past three years, Yang Tong had indeed made some progress in understanding his own nature, but at the same time, he was also approaching his limit.

  Lin Yue was shocked, never expecting this person to have such meticulous thinking, having prepared everything three years ago, even including food and water for twenty years. What a concept? This guy had planned out everything for the next twenty years since three years ago. He's an enemy who can make his enemies lose sleep and appetite, a terrifying guy.

  "Yang Tong, a person can't come back to life after death, it's better for enemies to forgive than to resent, why don't you just put down your hatred? I guarantee that from now on, the Lin family will absolutely not pursue and kill you again. Can we coexist peacefully?" Lin Yueyin looked at Yang Tong, whose cultivation had reached the 9th level of the Earthly Realm, with a completely softened attitude.

  "Lin Yueyin, you need to get it straight, this matter wasn't started by me. I'm just a spiritual tool craftsman doing business, whoever pays me gets the tools made, I'm not a member of the Zhao family. Your Lin family's feud with the Zhao family has nothing to do with me." Yang Tong calmly explained, "Now that you've done all the things you should and shouldn't have done, my relationship with your Lin family is already irreconcilable. You're only saying this now, don't you think it's extremely shameless?"

  "Hmph, I'm doing this for your own good, I don't want you to go and get yourself killed. If it weren't for the fact that you passed on my martial arts techniques, I wouldn't bother trying to stop you from going to your death." Lin Yueyin said with a pout.

  "Lin Yueyin, it seems you don't understand your current situation. You are my captive, and captives don't behave as wildly as you do! Don't take my mercy for granted, or I'll make you understand what kind of treatment a captive, especially a female one, deserves." Yang Tong said viciously.

  "Hmph, you dare?" Lin Yueyin said stubbornly, probably not even realizing that three years ago, she would never have been so emotional. Three years ago, faced with this scene, she would only have given Yang Tong a cold, icy stare and chosen to return to her room, rather than stubbornly arguing with him here.

  "Hahaha…… I don't dare? What do I not dare to do? It seems that your 'Unmoving Ice Heart Technique' has been completely assimilated, congratulations to you, Lin Yueyin, you have actually reached the 9th level of the Grand Earth. Yang Tong said with a big laugh, and then his tone changed, saying: "Do you know why I taught you two divine techniques three years ago?"

  Lin Yueyin's face changed color upon hearing this and she shrieked, "You, you're doing it on purpose? You want to break my Unmoving Ice Heart?" But after a moment's thought, that didn't seem right. Even if her Unmoving Ice Heart was broken, there wasn't anything bad about that for herself. On the contrary, her cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. Lin Yueyin believed that if she had a follow-up technique, she could even directly reach True Godhood. Even without a follow-up technique, she could re-cultivate the Unmoving Ice Heart Technique.

  "Are you going to use coercion on me? You'd better not have any illusions!" Lin Yueyin coldly snorted.

  "Why don't you try to re-cultivate the 'Unmoving Ice Heart Technique'? Little girl, you're underestimating high-level techniques too much. When there's a huge gap in technique levels, weaker techniques will be assimilated by stronger ones. You can change techniques and re-cultivate now, but you must find techniques of the same level to replace it." Yang Tong said with a smile.

  "You, you're despicable!" Lin Yueyun cursed loudly. A divine-level cultivation method, originally existed only in legend, where could she go to find a cultivation method to repair? Probably not even the imperial family of Central Heaven Empire had the inheritance of a divine-level cultivation method. Even if they did, she wouldn't be able to get it.

  "Can you blame me for this? It's not like I forced you to cultivate, I just proved it in front of you that I have enough potential to destroy the Lin family. It was you who wanted to cultivate the technique I gave you."
