Chapter 1398: Chapter 44 Old Mother
âThe Yang Fruit can make one ascend beyond our realm, allowing one to observe the primary source beyond the Little Cang World.â
âSo goes the saying, âFirst view the universe, then understand oneself.â For Cultivators, this represents the supreme opportunity, and such is the marvel of the Yang Fruit.â
âWhile it may not enhance enlightenment as significantly as the Yin Fruit does, its advantage lies in having no side effects⊠With so much time, it should be sufficient for your cultivation to reach a very high realm.â
The old woman spoke with a tremulous voice.
Qin Lingxiao, however, sized up the old woman, a hint of coldness on his face:
âWith Alien Beasts lurking beyond the realm, if I go beyond the realm, will I even have a life to return?â
...
âAre you foolish, or am I?â
The old woman was slightly startled:
âYou even know of this⊠Heh, since I suggested you consume the Yang Fruit, naturally I have my ways. Consuming it directly indeed brings such a situation, but what if itâs someone else consuming it, and you simply substitute for them temporarily?â
Qin Lingxiao frowned slightly:
âYou mean, possession?â
The old woman shook her head: âNo, just a temporary substitution.â
Qin Lingxiao pondered slightly,

âThat person going beyond the realm, I fear they may not come back, right?â
The old woman chuckled lightly:
âNaturally, once they leave this realm, returning wouldnât be so easy.â
She didnât elaborate further, but Qin Lingxiao understood the implication.
Once one leaves the Little Cang World and canât return, the perilous nature beyond the realm meant certain death.
She couldnât help asking:
âWho was the last person who consumed the Yang Fruit?â
The old woman had not expected her to ask this question, hesitating briefly, her eyes slightly vacant.
Then she shook her head:
âCounting it up⊠it should be the last generationâs Palace Master of Yuanci Palace⊠Yu, Yu Wuheng.â
Qin Lingxiao was startled:
âYu Wuheng? The descendant of⊠Yuchen?â
Hearing this name, the old womanâs face first stiffened, then became deeply wrinkled; what was previously a kind visage suddenly turned ferocious!
The entire person seemed agitated, she yelled angrily:
âYuchen⊠Yuchen!â
Her graying hair flew about, like an enraged lioness!
She suddenly glared at Qin Lingxiao, her ferocious eyes widening, coldly staring at him, nearly roaring:
âHow do you know about Yuchen?â
âSpeak!â
âSpeak!â
âIs he still alive? Why wonât he come see me!â
The sharp and piercing voice reverberated through the entire cave.
The illusory Primordial Spirits around the old woman trembled in response.
Some even opened their eyes, gazing at the old woman.
Then started wailing:
âOld mother!â
âOld mother!â
âSet me free!â
More and more eyes of the Primordial Spirits opened, blending wailing and pain into a tangled chorus.
At the cave entrance, that moment seemed like an endless hell!
And the old woman was the greatest evil spirit of this realm!
At this moment, being stared at by the old woman, Qin Lingxiao felt as if she was enveloped by the malice of the entire world!
Like a leaf boat in the water waves, helplessly tossing up and down in the giant waves.
Looking at the old woman, filled with fear, a sudden guess surged in her heart:
âCould it be, you are YuchenâsâŠâ
âShut up!â
The old woman suddenly barked.
The Primordial Spirits around instantly froze like cicadas in the cold!
Their eyes, staring at the old woman, carried a fear that permeated their bones.
The old womanâs gaze swept over the surrounding Primordial Spirits, then she revealed a smile quite different from before, cold and eerie, almost deranged:
âThe Cultivation Methods you practice are ones I modified, the Yuanci force you use flows from the Yuanci Membrane Eyes I personally created. All of you becoming Class V Saint Mages owe it to my grace!â
âAsking you to be Guardians here and have lifespans as long as mine, what complaint can you have!â
Qin Lingxiaoâs heart trembled!
Even if her reaction was slow, she understood the other partyâs identity and her brutal nature now!
âThese Primordial Spirits here, none came willingly!â
She hurriedly tried to fly away.
But the next moment, the world spun around.
When she reopened her eyes and instinctively looked up.
All she saw was a face crammed into her field of vision, full of wrinkles, aged!
It was the old woman!
Now looking down at her, revealing a smile that chilled her to the bone:
âMy good disciple⊠where are you going?â
âHow has she become so big?!â
Qin Lingxiao was horrified inside.
But she quickly realized.
No!
It wasnât the old woman who had grown larger, but she herself who had become smaller!
âStay here, your Talent is the most suitable I have seen, aside from my child.â
âI will teach you many things, help you overcome emotional tribulations, kill the person who prevents your liberation, and allow you to grow rapidly, even reaching a realm like mineâŠâ
The old woman chuckled, pinching Qin Lingxiaoâs body.
As if playing with a doll.
Muttering to herself:
âThe Daoist Mystic Holy Fruit that all in the Zhongsheng Continent desperately seek, I will personally pluck it for you⊠Iâve been so good to you, all you need to do is a very small favor, isnât that fair?â
âWill you replace me, stay here alright?â
âWill you wait here for my child to return, okay?â
âIâm going to die, Iâm about to die⊠but I want so much to see him once more⊠will you help me?â
âYuchen⊠YuchenâŠâ
As if finally awakened, she raised Qin Lingxiao to her face, her murky eyes fixating intently on Qin Lingxiao:
âYou know his name, you must have met him, havenât you?â
âWhere is he? Where is he?!â
The old womanâs demeanor became frenzied again, she suddenly gripped Qin Lingxiao tightly, grinding her teeth and violently shaking her arm!
