As Yin Jinye chased after Yin Houyao, Bai Yunchen had already flied Rong Yi to Wangchuan Town on the sword.

After Rong Yi, who was standing behind him, took the elixir he gave, he felt burning hot and his spiritual power was also growing like crazy. Meanwhile, like other cultivators, the spiritual power was also losing. But the growing spiritual power was a lot more than the losing one.

“Bai Yunchen, who did you give me?” Staring at the back of Bai Yunchen, Rong Yi gave a snort, “you want me to make it to the Mahayana Phase and then do things for you? What on earth do you want?”

Bai Yunchen said nothing.

“I’m even prepared to help you. Is there any point in keeping it from me?”

Bai Yunchen said quietly, “I need you to help me open the gate of the netherworld and the access to another world.”

Rong Yi looked at him in disbelief, “You want to open the gate of the netherworld? What do you want to do? Are you going to let out the ghosts?”

“I want to get back a thread of my soul.”

“How did it get into the netherworld?”

“It dates back to more than six hundred years ago. That year, Yin Houyao who was about to ascend set his eyes on me as he neither wanted to fail nor wanted to be only a minor immortal there, because I am the offspring of Baize Divine Beast and Phoenix. As long as he could get my spiritual power and internal elixir, he could ascend smoothly, or might even directly become a Taiyi Golden Immortal or Taiyi Xuan Immortal. So, while I was sitting in meditation and was about to make breakthrough, he brought a lot of Mahayana cultivators to sneak attack me, as I got possessed and nearly died.” When saying it, Bai Yunchen still looked mad, “fortunately I was lucky enough to escape. But, Yin Houyao didn’t let go of me after that, but kept chasing me all the way to Wangchuan Town in Beiba Prefecture. You and Yin Jinye have ever been to Wangchuan. You should know that every night countless souls would enter that huge hole. That’s the way leading to the netherworld. That year, when I escaped to Wangchuan, it happened to be at the night the ghost gate was opened. And since I got badly injured, a wisp of my soul got absorbed in.”

Rong Yi screwed his eyebrow, “your cultivation is higher than mine. Since even you can’t open it, how can I?’

“I can open it, but I need a gatekeeper, or I may never get out again.”

“You mean to let me watch the gate?”

“Right. You own the extreme yin body, someone born at the extreme yin hour, on an extreme yin day, in an extreme yin month of an extreme yin year. You can put one foot in the netherworld while the other in this world. So with out guarding there, it won’t close.”

Rong Yi felt puzzled, “Although the extreme yin bodies are few. But during the past thousand years, there should be someone like me. You could have asked any of them for help. Why summoned me here from the far future?”

“There was once someone with extreme yin body, but it’s a woman. A woman’s body is prone to incurring ghosts, not suitable to guard the gate for me.”

“Then why didn’t you summon back your junior brother Rong Yi six hundred years later?”

Bai Yunchen said helplessly, “That Rong Yi and I were peers. So that year, as I got badly injured, I didn’t calculate that there would be a man owning the extreme yin body six hundred years later. And I also didn’t expect that I only summoned his body. So I can only hide him in the secret channel in Tianxu Peak.”

“Why didn’t you send my body back at once?” Rong Yi really wanted to say some swear words, but also felt lucky that Bai Yunchen summoned him to this cultivation world, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had a chance to know about Yin Jinye and the kids.

“At that time, I was seriously injured and could not send you back to your own world. And when summoning you, it had cost me too much spiritual power, so my state was quite unstable, sometimes good sometimes bad. So I can only consolidate my cultivation by absorbing other cultivators’ spiritual power.”

Hearing here, Rong Yi couldn’t help looking at his back, asking, “Three yeas ago, a lot of cultivators in Haishan Town and those nearby towns got their spiritual power absorbed, Was that you?”

Bai Yunchen didn’t deny, “Yeah, it was me. At the time, my souls and spirits were unstable, so I had to absorb other’s spiritual power everywhere.”

“I remember that I nearly got killed by you.”

Bai Yunchen gave a smile, “You were following me. I thought you wanted to catch me, besides, I didn’t know that was you.”

“I followed you because I was looking for the body I have now. At that time, after absorbing one soul and one spirit of me, he had been following you. Every time you absorbed other’s spiritual power, he’d go absorb that person’s souls. So I thought I could find my body as long as I followed you.” Thinking about it, Rong Yi then asked, “So you let me make it to the Mahayana phase because you want me to guard the gate leading to the netherworld for you?”

“Yes, it is not easy to guard the gate of the netherworld. Without the Mahayana cultivation, you can’t guard it at all. Otherwise, I have already let my junior brother Rong Yi to do it for me.” When mentioning that Rong Yi, Bai Yunchen curved his lips, “That year, when I knew he also owns the extreme yin body, I was so happy, pity that he has no spiritual root.”

“He has a spiritual root, but hidden too deep, it’s just that you did not find it and wasted him ten years’ time and turned him into someone who likes neither men or women. Since you had the heart letting him help you, why still let him bullied by others?”

Bai Yunchen withdrew his smile, “As I said before, my cultivation was unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad, sometimes strong sometimes weak. When I was weak, I was even weaker than a mortal. In order not to let people notice it, I had taken so much. Besides, I was only his senior brother, how could I surpass his grandfather, uncles and aunts to regulate him?”

Rong Yi was kind of incredulous, “You became so weak?”

“You know, I have lost one of my spirits, and got badly wounded, so I became very weak. Even after six hundred years’ recuperation, I would still turn very weak sometimes. The year Rong Yi was born, I nearly died. Fortunately my shifu saved me.”
