[At this moment, Ye Yu truly felt like losing his mind!]
When the former sect master of Yellow Springs View, Ma Jintian, passed away, he specifically mentioned that this forbidden technique held the potential for the sectâs rise to power.
From this, it was clear that the technique must be incredibly powerful!
If that was the case, then why not allow him to learn it?
Why?
In response to Ye Yu's questioning, Xiao Yinjian said sternly, "Anyone can learn this forbidden technique⦠except you."
"The cost it requires is too great. You should just give it up!"
Ye Yu covered his face with one hand.
He was afraid of high costs? If anything, he would love to find a few techniques that result in death after use.
For others, this might be a path to mutual destruction!
But for Ye Yu, this would be the ultimate weapon!
To sacrifice the lives of enemies and eliminate themâthis was definitely a cheat-level move!
Ye Yu was sure this was precisely how his Disaster Redirection was meant to work!
But to be paired with a master like this, he could only sigh.
So, determined to pry the forbidden technique out, Ye Yu decided to put on a performance!
Commonly known as youthful rebellion, or even an intense case of middle-school syndrome.
After all, given his age in the dream, this would be totally in character!
Ye Yu slightly lowered his head, clenched his fists, and radiated the defiance of a young boy.
Then, in a low voice, he said, âActually, I bear a deep-seated grudge. I need powerâ¦â
Before Ye Yu could finish, Xiao Yinjian burst out laughing.
"Stop it. Spare me."
"Ever since you joined Yellow Springs View, your parents, Ye Jing and Mo Haitang, havenât stopped grinning from ear to ear.â
âAnd as for your lineage, your ancestors were hunters. Where would this blood feud come from?â
Ye Yuâs façade crumbled instantly.
They even investigated his family background?
How was he supposed to spin a lie now?
Just as Ye Yu pondered how to trick Xiao Yinjian into giving him the forbidden technique, Xiao Yinjian bent down slightly and placed one hand on Ye Yuâs shoulder.
"I am a man of limited fortune, but the fact that we are master and disciple means a lot to me.â
âThatâs why I donât want you to stray onto a dangerous path."
"I know my talent is limited, and the path to enlightenment is beyond my reach."
"But you are different; you can go much further.â
âDonât disappoint us. The future of this sect⦠Iâll entrust it to you!â
Ye Yu couldnât help but widen his eyes.
He could feel itâXiao Yinjian was sincere.
Thinking back on the past two or three yearsâ¦
Xiao Yinjian had truly cared for him.
Concerned about everything, he was meticulous and devoted.
Not only did he keep Ye Yu away from questionable techniques but he also avoided any methods that could attract karmic entanglements.
If it werenât for his cultivation level, Xiao Yinjian would undoubtedly be the best master in the world.
Far superior to that alcoholic Hong Luan!
Yet, the more Xiao Yinjian acted this way, the more confused Ye Yu became.
What was this about?
Wasnât the stereotype that demonic sects were merciless, fickle, and self-centered?
Why did he end up with such a good master?
What was the reason?
Unable to comprehend, Ye Yu voiced his confusion.
Xiao Yinjian looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, his expression deeply sorrowful.
"Who said that all demons are necessarily evil?"
At that moment, it felt like the whole scene was a story in itself.
Xiao Yinjian began recounting his story with Ma Jintian.
More than two hundred years agoâ¦
Xiao Yinjian and Ma Jintian were both rogue cultivators. They only had cultivation at the Golden Core level, which was still quite an achievement.
One night, while drinking, the two came up with a bold idea.
In these times, entering the cultivation world without a background made one an easy target.
But with their strength, they wouldnât even make it as offering elders in a large sect.
Smaller sects, on the other hand, had too many rules!
So, under the influence of alcohol, they decided to create their own sect.
To forge their own support!
And since they were creating a sect, it needed a name that would echo throughout the world.
The two thought hard for a long timeâ¦
Finally, they decided on âYellow Springs View.â@@novelbin@@
It sounded incredibly imposing!
And so, three days laterâ¦
On a mountaintop in the middle of the Northern Desolate Continent, Yellow Springs View was established!
Ma Jintian became the sect master, with Xiao Yinjian as the grand elder!
Originally, the two planned to become a first-class sect in five hundred years, and to enter the holy lands⦠or rather, ring the bell in a thousand years.
They were both brimming with confidence!
But establishing a sect is not something that can be achieved with mere courage alone!
Sometimes, a name and a gimmick really matter!
Within just five days of opening the sectâ¦
A dozen rogue cultivator demonic heads came to join!
Ma Jintian and Xiao Yinjian were practically losing their minds!
They were supposed to be seed candidates for entry into the holy lands, an up-and-coming righteous sect.
Why were all these demonic cultivators coming to crash the party?
Were they here to mess things up?
At this, the demonic cultivators became rather offended.
âHell no, what âup-and-coming righteous sectâ? Yellow Springs Viewâsounds exactly like a demonic sect name.â
âWho are you fooling?â
Ma Jintian and Xiao Yinjian were infuriated.
The two shut the sect doors, debating if they should change the name.
But by then, it was too late.
Nearby righteous sects announced they would join forces to âpurge the demons!â
At that time, Xiao Yinjian was still rather naive and asked curiously, âPurge who? Where is there a demonic sect here?â
Over a hundred cultivators from nearby righteous sects pointed in unison at Ma Jintian and Xiao Yinjian.
âYou even named it Yellow Springs View, and you still deny being demonic?â
Xiao Yinjian and Ma Jintian were dumbfounded.
Just based on the name, they had been labeled as a demonic sect?
They genuinely felt offended!
Despite their annoyance, they restrained themselves for the sake of their lives and tried to explain.
But the righteous sects wouldnât listen; they insisted on purging the demons.
Xiao Yinjian and Ma Jintian, vastly outnumbered, had no choice but to run for now.
They fled to the northern reaches of the Northern Desolate Continent, intending to reflect and possibly rename the sect.
But even that didnât work!
Someone recognized them immediately.
âThese two? Arenât they the infamous demonic heads from Yellow Springs View?â
âDeceived everyone by claiming to be a righteous sect, then fled when exposedâreal fast too!â
Xiao Yinjian and Ma Jintian were on the verge of breakdown.
How could someone still recognize them in a new place?
Later, they discovered that their hasty escape had been recorded on a spirit stone, circulating throughout the Northern Desolate Continent.
The reason given was that two demonic heads failed to establish a righteous sect and fled quickly, possibly joining other sects.
It warned other sects to be on guard against these traitors, suspecting a grand scheme at play.
When Ma Jintian found out, he fainted on the spot.
The next day, he woke up and clung to Xiao Yinjian, wailing, âBrother, weâve made a name for ourselves, and itâs an infamous one!â
