“Master...” Yang Dingtian was in complete disbelief and was afraid that he was only hallucinating.

“It’s me, son. I know it’s been really hard for you,” Dongfang Niemie said.

“Master, you are still alive?” Yang Dingtian was ecstatic. His eyes instantly filled with tears.

“Of course I am already dead,” Dongfang Niemie said. “However, I’ve left a wisp of my mind in your brain. It needs the support of the Flame Ring’s energy to stay active.”

“I was planning on waiting until you’ve become strong enough to summon the Flame Ring so that you could activate the wisp yourself. However, Ximen Wuya had accidentally summoned the Flame Ring and activated it in advance.” Dongfang Niemie then sighed deeply. “I didn’t expect things to become like this. I really didn’t know that my daughter had become like that.”

“Why didn’t this wisp appear in my brain at the beginning? Perhaps, things would have gone differently if you had,” Yang Dingtian asked.

“This wisp can only survive for three years. I had wanted to guide out during your most critical three years,” Dongfang Niemie explained. “Even if it had been active, everything would have gone the same way because I can only communicate with you. Nobody else can see or hear me.”

“My daughter was so obedient when she was small. How had she become like this? How did it come to this? How did it come to this?” Dongfang Niemie sighed, his voice was full of desolation and grief.

“Son, I’m sorry. I let you face all those hardships on your own. I wanted to give you everything, but I didn’t expect that my actions would almost get you killed. If it weren’t for Ximen Wuya, you probably would have died by my greedy daughter’s hand.”

Yang Dingtian replied sorrowfully, “But, Uncle Ximen was killed by Zhu Qingzhu because of me.”

“I know. I had witnessed everything after I awoke. However, I had to spend time condensing my mind and am only able to communicate with you now. Soul Eater has appeared once again after thousands of years in Zhu Qingzhu’s hands. If I’m right, the Yin Yang Sect may really be destroyed by my daughter’s hands.”

“Perhaps not just the Yin Yang Sect, but the whole world. Zhu Qingzhu, only now do I know the depths of your evil,” Dongfang Niemie said. “Everything depends on you now, son. To save Yin the Yang Sect, to save Cloud Sky City and perhaps, the world.”

“To break through to become a Six Star Xuan martial artist in fifteen days is just your first challenge. Although it seems completely impossible to do, you must do it. Otherwise, you will never be able to complete the tasks ahead. I’ll do everything to help you get through this.”

Yang Dingtian asked, “Master, can we make it?”

Dongfang Niemie shook his head and replied, “I... I don’t know. We can only do our best!”

Dongfang Niemie couldn’t promise anything. He was already an ultimate genius, but even he needed more than half a year to become a Six Star Xuan martial artist from his initial Enlightenment stage. Yang Dingtian only has fifteen days.

“Son, whether we can do it or not, just try your best. Give it your one hundred percent, or even two hundred percent. Do that and will have no regrets. Get some rest. We’ll start working tomorrow. The time I can spend with you is limited, so I’m going to rest as well. Whenever you need me, just look into your heart and call me.”

“Alright, master.” Yang Dingtian slowly closed his eyes. Because his master had appeared, his stress seems to have been reduced by more than half. He could now breathe more easily.

Suddenly, Yang Dingtian asked, “Master, can we save Uncle Ximen? Although he has no heartbeat and is not breathing, his body is completely intact. He looks exactly the same as when he was alive. I remember that you used the last of your Xuan energy to maintain the last wisp of your mind for ten years.”

Dongfang Niemie kept silent for a moment. “That is even harder than becoming a Six Star Xuan martial artist in fifteen days. It is ten times or even a hundred times harder. This is Soul Eater we’re talking about...”

Yang Dingtian slowly closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. He told himself, “It is extremely difficult, but I will never give up. Even if I have to go to the ends of the world, even if I have to sacrifice everything...”

******

That night, Yang Dingtian had the best sleep in a long while. Due to the reappearance of his Master, Dongfang Niemie, he could finally rest easy. When he woke up, Ximen Yanyan was already there. Because Yang Dingtian had slept on the floor, she was standing over him.

She was wearing a tight suit today, which accentuated her body and caused it to look even more perfect and attractive. This was especially true when viewed from below. The curves of her breasts were titillating.

When she saw Yang Dingtian had slept on the ground, Yanyan frowned. “Why are you sleeping down here? Are you deliberately drawing a line in our relationship? Or are you trying to express your dissatisfaction?”

“You must be very unwilling for me to sleep on your bed, correct?” Yang Dingtian asked. He then quickly got up to wash.

When he came back, Lue Er had already brought them breakfast for two, but Yang Dingtian ate alone. Yanyan said that she had already eaten with her mother.

“Is your mother feeling better?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“No,” Yanyan answered. “But thanks for asking.”

Yang Dingtian continued eating and finished quickly. Soon, he finished both portions.

“Let’s go!” Yanyan said. “Let me bring you to the expert.”

Dongfang Niemie had appeared again, so Yang Dingtian did not believe that there was anyone else more suitable to make him stronger. He wanted to turn her down but could not find a reason.

“Are you sure she can help me break through 16 times in fifteen days?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“No, I don’t. But if she can’t, then I firmly believe that no one can,” Yanyan replied as she walked out the door.

...

Yang Dingtian followed after her. They arrived at a castle located in a dark corner in Cloud Sky City. This castle was very small, only about a dozen meters tall.

They walked into the castle together and found nothing inside. It was completely dark inside.

Yanyan lit a torch and pressed down on some mechanism. A hole appeared in the ground, revealing stairs that descended underground. They walked into the hole descended deeper and deeper.

They didn’t know how long they had been walking or how many steps they’ve taken. They would soon reach the middle of the mountain. Who was locked in this place?

Finally, they stopped in front of a one-meter-thick stone gate. Yanyan took out a key and inserted it into the hole.

“Boooom...” With a loud bang, the two halves of the stone gate slowly separated. A hot gust of air suddenly burst through.

Behind the door, there was a huge cave. A stone strip jutted out from the cave wall, forming a platform that was around ten meters long and three meters wide. Below the platform, there was fiery red magma flowing down into a bottomless abyss.

The platform was the only place where people could stand.

A few meters in front of the platform was a two-by-two-by-two meters square iron cage suspended in the air. Inside the cage, there appeared to be a woman shackled by four large chains. She was wrapped in long red hair that hid her face and body. Around the cage was a circular aperture which looked like a very powerful array.

Who was this person? How strong was she? Why was she trapped in this hellish place?

“Yao Rao, I’m here to see you,” Yanyan said.

The person inside the cage raised her head, parting her long red hair. She then stood up and revealed her face and body.

Yang Dingtian was completely shocked. His blood instantly boiled, and his entire body was seemed to catch fire.

This was a woman, a naked woman. This was an utterly flirtatious woman. Yang Dingtian had seen this world’s four prettiest women, but he had before seen such a seductive woman.

Yang Dingtian finally knew the definition of the word vixen. Her facial features were not perfectly beautiful but were extremely seductive. Her eyes were narrow, and the pupils were green. Her face was long and sharp. She had a tall nose, and her red lips were full of temptation.

This was not the face of a typical beauty but was more like a fox’s face. However, all in all, it exuded an incomparably attractive temptation. This face would definitely drive the country crazy.

She was completely naked. Her skin was white like snow. Although she did not possess sexy buttocks like Yanyan, she had a perfect body figure: delicate waist, slender legs, perfectly round boobs and hips.

There were no imperfections on her body. Every inch could easily ignite the desire of any man. Since she was completely naked at the moment, Yang Dingtian clearly saw every inch of her body.

“Yanyan, you’re finally willing to come see me.” Yao Rao’s hoarse voice was full of teasing. Her eyes then fell on Yang Dingtian’s face. “And you brought along a cute delicious man.”

Yao Rao licked her lips with her enchanting tongue. “Little man, what’s your name?”

“Ignore her. Don’t talk to her and don’t look into her eyes,” Ximen Yanyan warned. “Otherwise, your mind will be confused.”

“She isn’t human. She’s a Xuan tail fiery fox, transformed into human form. More than a decade ago, my father invited Dongfang Niemie and several Gurus to capture and seal her here.”

Yang Dingtian immediately took a deep breath. Ten years ago, Ximen Wuya and Dongfang Niemie were already Gurus. They had to work with other Gurus to capture this vixen. It could be imagined how strong she was.

“Her demon nucleus was extracted and hidden in a secret place. She was also completely sealed. Otherwise, I would not dare bring you to see her. I wasn’t sensible when I was younger. I followed my mom here to play here a few times and ended up talking to her a lot. She seemed to like me very much, but I don’t know why.”

“Yao Rao, I’ve something to ask for your help,” Yanyan said.

“Go ahead, my little treasure.” Yao Rao looked at Yanyan. “You’ve lost a lot of weight. I feel sad for you.”

“The man beside me is my husband. He has just passed the Enlightenment period. I want him to break through to become a Six Star Xuan martial artist in the shortest time possible. Do you have any ideas?” Yanyan asked.
