CHAPTER 1357: CHAPTER 1355: THE SECRET OF THE YIN-YANG FORBIDDEN TOME

Master Xiaoyunzi sighed, his eyes flickering with a complex expression.

"Three Sects and Four Halls!"

Xiao Yifeng murmured, then looked at Master Xiaoyunzi: "Who was that person closest to you? Your family?"

"It was a disciple I trusted most, someone I raised from a young age in the Ancient Realm, treating him as my closest person, imparting all my knowledge. In the end, I never expected him to betray me, almost killing me!"

As Master Xiaoyunzi spoke of this, his fists clenched involuntarily, a trace of pain and regret flashing through his eyes.

"Unbelievable, you’re so unlucky, being sold out by your own disciple, but your judgment isn’t that great either, choosing such a beast as a disciple."

"No! Your judgment must have been good because now you’ve found me, such an exceptionally brilliant disciple; rest assured, old man, I will never betray you!"

Xiao Yifeng looked at Master Xiaoyunzi and spoke.

"Yes, the heavens have been cruel to me, but also kind. Although they let me meet such a beastly disciple, they also let me find you here on Earth; I believe I won’t misjudge this time!"

As Master Xiaoyunzi spoke, he looked at Xiao Yifeng.

"Don’t worry; you definitely won’t misjudge. I’m absolutely unlikely to do what that disciple of yours did. If I ever enter the Ancient Realm and see him, I’ll surely give him a good lesson for you!"

Xiao Yifeng said.

"You’d better not see him. Although his character is poor, his talent is top-notch; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been seriously injured by his sneak attack back then."

"Now his realm, if I’m not mistaken, should have reached an extremely high level, considered among the top experts of the Ancient Realm. Encountering him would be asking for death."

Master Xiaoyunzi said solemnly.

"Oh, come on, old man, can’t you stop belittling me like that? Making me sound so weak is really discouraging!"

Xiao Yifeng pouted, his face full of helplessness.

"I’m just stating facts. Of course, in the future, once you truly grow, you won’t be inferior to him. Now, what I want to talk about is this Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome; you absolutely cannot let anyone know of its existence!"

Master Xiaoyunzi looked at Xiao Yifeng seriously and said.

"Mm, I know. But old man, I really can’t see what’s so precious about this Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome that so many would fight over it?"

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flickered with curiosity.

"That’s because the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome has nine layers. You’ve only unlocked the first layer. Once you fully unlock all nine layers and understand its content, you won’t think it’s ordinary anymore; you’ll feel deeply shocked!"

Master Xiaoyunzi looked at Xiao Yifeng with a stern expression and said.

"Nine layers? Really?"

Xiao Yifeng was taken aback.

"The Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome covers everything, containing the most advanced formation techniques, alchemy dao, artifact refining techniques, cultivation techniques, martial techniques, secret techniques, and forbidden techniques. There are even legendary antiquity divine techniques and antiquity martial moves, including heaven-defying techniques that bring the dead back to life."

"It’s said that whoever fully comprehends the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome will become an all-rounded martial artist, possibly the strongest in the Ancient Realm. Even understanding one part can grant immensely powerful abilities. So do you think it’s precious and worth fighting over?"

Master Xiaoyunzi explained to Xiao Yifeng one by one.

"Worth it!"

After hearing Master Xiaoyunzi’s explanation of the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome, Xiao Yifeng immediately nodded.

If the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome is truly as Master Xiaoyunzi described, it would be incredibly terrifying. Fully comprehending it would be akin to being omnipotent.

Thinking about this, Xiao Yifeng became somewhat excited. Currently, besides martial skills, he’s skilled in a bit of alchemy. If he could learn formation techniques and artifact refining, it would greatly aid him.

"The Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome is divided into nine layers. Unlocking one will reveal new things for you to comprehend, and only by fully comprehending one layer can the next be unlocked."

"This first layer is foundational. What you need to do now is fully understand everything in this first layer and unlock the second layer of the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome as soon as possible to learn more, which will greatly help you in the Ancient Realm in the future!"

Master Xiaoyunzi spoke.

"Understood!"

Xiao Yifeng nodded.

"You should stay here and thoroughly comprehend everything in the first layer of the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me!"

Master Xiaoyunzi looked at Xiao Yifeng and said, and subsequently, Xiao Yifeng sat in the hut, closed his eyes, and the entire first layer content of the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome appeared in his mind. He began to slowly comprehend and understand, then assimilate it.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed, during which Xiao Yifeng asked Master Xiaoyunzi many questions he didn’t understand.

Most of them were about alchemy, and Master Xiaoyunzi answered every question, imparting all his alchemy skills, deepening Xiao Yifeng’s understanding of alchemy.

The following day, Master Xiaoyunzi’s eyes suddenly hardened. He walked out of the hut, moving his hands in a set of profound hand seals.

"Finally, they’ve arrived!"

A flicker of strange light flashed in Master Xiaoyunzi’s eyes as he spat coldly.

"Boy, it seems we must part ways. I hope you can go further without my protection; just don’t kick the bucket too soon!"

Master Xiaoyunzi turned toward the hut, muttering to himself, and then walked into the hut. Minutes later, Master Xiaoyunzi came out, and his body disappeared instantly.

At the Kunlun Mountains, within that mysterious space, the runes on the Gate of Teleportation leading to the Ancient Realm began to shimmer with light, evidently being activated, and someone was being teleported over.

Slash slash slash!

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed through the gate, and as the light dissipated, three men dressed in special clothing with ancient hairstyles appeared, exuding a robust aura.

"So this is the Primitive World?"

One of the men looked around and spoke in a deep voice.

"It should be. The spiritual energy here is so sparse, it must be the Primitive World. I can’t believe that old bastard hid here, making us search for so long."

Another man spat coldly.

"He was so heavily injured back then and had nowhere else to go. But hiding here is actually a good thing. Most of his cultivation resources were taken back then, and with the Primitive World’s current spiritual energy and resources, there’s no way he could recover from his injuries."

The last middle-aged man said grimly.

"That’s why the Sect Master sent us here, knowing his injuries can’t recover. With our strength, we should be able to take him down. Moreover, the Primitive World has the rules of Heaven and Earth, where the stronger one’s power, the greater the suppression here."

The first middle-aged man who spoke said solemnly.
