This Is the Truth

It was an extremely distant era.

In the picture, there was no Saintess of the Hehuan Sect, who held a high - and - mighty position, nor was there the now - famous Ye Xuan who shook the universe. There were only two humble wandering cultivators in tattered clothes, struggling desperately at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world.

At that time, Ye Xuan was just a poor young man with the lowest - grade five spiritual roots, and Ye Qingcheng was merely an ordinary girl with four spiritual roots.

For a few low - grade spirit stones and a few low - level spiritual herbs that were only a decade old, they had to fight for their lives against monsters in the deep mountains and forests and endure the cold looks and insults of high - level cultivators in the marketplaces.

In the dilapidated thatched cottage, Ye Qingcheng, wearing a coarse cloth skirt full of patches, carefully counted the three low - grade spirit stones she had risked her life to obtain that day by the dim light of a bean - sized candle.

There was no numbness to poverty in her eyes. Instead, there burned a kind of almost crazy yearning.

"Hubby,"

The young Ye Qingcheng turned her head and looked at the young man beside her who was wiping the rolled - edge iron sword with a rag. Her eyes sparkled with a strange light. "We must become great cultivators. As long as we become great cultivators, we can live forever and never be bullied again..."

She put down the spirit stones, walked to Ye Xuan's side, hugged his arm tightly, and leaned her head on his shoulder. Her voice was filled with infinite longing. "More importantly, if we become great cultivators, I can stay with you for ten thousand years."

However, in the face of the young girl's grand wish, the young Ye Xuan just smiled gently and reached out to ruffle her hair.

"Silly girl, ten thousand years is too long. How can it be so easy to achieve immortality in this world?"

Ye Xuan's eyes were clear, and there was also a kind of contentment that saw through the reality.

Looking at the iron sword full of nicks in his hand, he said softly, "I have five spiritual roots, and you have four. With our aptitudes, even if we exhaust our whole lives, it would be a great blessing if we could luckily break through to the late stage of Qi Refining. Foundation Establishment... that's an extravagant hope that we don't even dare to think about."

Ye Xuan held Ye Qingcheng's hand back, his eyes full of tenderness and relief. "Actually, I think it's quite good like this now. Although it's hard, at least we're together every day. Mortals only live for about a hundred years, and if a cultivator can't establish a foundation, they'll only live for about two hundred years at most and then turn into a pile of loess."

"As long as I can protect you well and grow old with you in these two hundred years, I'll be content with simple food and plain tea."

"No! I'm not content!"

Ye Qingcheng suddenly shook off Ye Xuan's hand, stood up, and her beautiful face was full of strong unwillingness and resistance.

"What's two hundred years? Two hundred years is just the time for those great experts to have one closed - door cultivation session! I don't want to turn into loess, and I don't want to watch you grow old and die! I want immortality! I want to be with you forever!"

At that time, Ye Xuan just thought she was throwing a little girl's tantrum and just smiled helplessly, not taking it seriously.

However, Ye Xuan didn't know that it was this morbid obsession with immortality and possessing him forever that planted the most vicious seed for Ye Qingcheng's future doom.

The picture of memory tumbled violently. The time came to a moonless and windy night.

Ye Xuan was injured from fighting a monster during the day. After taking the inferior healing medicine, he was lying on the broken wooden board bed, sound asleep.

And Ye Qingcheng was sitting alone in the yard, facing the faint moonlight, meditating hard, trying to break through the bottleneck of the third layer of Qi Refining.

However, the aptitude of four spiritual roots was like an insurmountable chasm. No matter how hard she tried, the spiritual energy just couldn't gather in her body.

"Wow!" Ye Qingcheng was so frustrated that she spat out a mouthful of blood. She covered her face desperately and sobbed in a low voice.

Just then.

The surrounding space suddenly rippled strangely. The originally faint moonlight was instantly dyed a strange purple - pink color.

Ye Qingcheng looked up in horror and saw that above the yard, a huge Nine - Tailed Demon Fox, as if condensed from starlight, had appeared out of nowhere.

The demon fox looked down at her haughtily. Its nine huge tails swayed slowly in the night sky, emitting a suffocating and terrifying pressure.

"With the aptitude of an ant but the ambition to swallow the sky. Interesting, really interesting."

The Nine - Tailed Fox spoke in a human voice, and its voice had a kind of charm that could bewitch all sentient beings. It got straight to the point. "I am the Guardian Beast of the Heaven's Desire Sect in the spiritual realm. I've come across the realms to the mortal world this time to find a suitable successor. Little girl, I can see that you have a very deep obsession and great potential."

Ye Qingcheng was stunned, and even her breathing stopped.

"As long as you're willing to sign a contract with me,"

The Nine - Tailed Fox tempted her. "I can go against the heavens and change your fate, granting you the supreme physique - the Nine - Yin Mysterious Charm Physique. With this kind of physique, your cultivation speed will be extremely fast. Any heavenly - grade spiritual roots or earthly - grade spiritual roots are just useless in front of you. Not to mention Foundation Establishment, even ascending to immortality is just a matter of time!"

"Immortality... eternal life..." The tears in Ye Qingcheng's eyes dried up instantly, replaced by uncontrollable ecstasy. But she still retained a shred of reason. "What's the price?"

A hint of mockery flashed in the long and narrow eyes of the Nine - Tailed Fox. "The price is that once you become a possessor of the Nine - Yin Mysterious Charm Physique, a love poison will grow in your body and will break out continuously as your cultivation level improves. Unless you cultivate this physique to a great accomplishment, the love poison cannot be eradicated. And before reaching great accomplishment, every time the love poison breaks out, you need the primordial yang of countless high - level male cultivators to suppress it."

These words were like a basin of cold water, instantly waking Ye Qingcheng from her ecstasy.

She glanced at Ye Xuan who was sleeping soundly in the room. Her face instantly turned pale, and she took two steps back. Her voice trembled. "Need the primordial yang of countless men? Then wouldn't I become a prostitute? Ridden and defiled by thousands of people?"

Although she yearned for immortality, if the price was to betray Ye Xuan and become a cauldron for thousands of men, she would rather die!

"Stupid mortal!"

The Nine - Tailed Fox snorted coldly, and its expression was full of haughty disdain. "The inheritance of my Heaven's Desire Sect is not that useless! If you need to have sexual intercourse with others to absorb the primordial yang, not only is the efficiency extremely low, but it will also pollute your pure yin body!"

Ye Qingcheng was stunned. "Without intercourse... how can I absorb the primordial yang?"

"What I'll teach you is called the Heavenly Desire Art!"

The eyes of the Nine - Tailed Fox sparkled with a strange light, like a snake tempting Eve. "It is a supreme technique in the spiritual realm. Once you successfully cultivate it, not only is it extremely powerful, but more terrifyingly, it can bewitch all sentient beings. You just need to activate the Heavenly Desire Art, and you can make those men instantly fall into an extreme illusion, enjoying themselves in the illusion and at your mercy!"

The Nine - Tailed Fox paused for a moment and threw out the bait that completely lured Ye Qingcheng in. "Moreover, this technique can absorb the primordial yang of men from afar and directly transform it into pure spiritual power in mid - air and draw it into your body. Throughout the whole process, those dirty hands of men won't even touch the corner of your clothes! Without physical intercourse, naturally, your body will never be polluted! Outside the illusion, you'll still be as pure as ice and clean as jade!"

Ye Qingcheng's entire body began to tremble violently, not out of fear, but because of extreme ecstasy!

What did this mean?

It meant that she could look down haughtily at those men making complete fools of themselves in the illusion like randy dogs in heat, while she watched coldly from the sidelines and, just like absorbing spirit stones, suck out their vital yang essence!

She didn't need to sacrifice any of her purity, didn't need to be defiled by anyone. She could keep her purest self intact for Ye Xuan, and at the same time obtain the supreme power that would enable her and Ye Xuan to achieve immortality!

"Is... is this for real?" Ye Qingcheng was overjoyed, her eyes filled with madness. "It means I can use illusions to make these men fall into decadence, and then seize the opportunity to absorb their vital yang essence? And it won't contaminate my body at all?"

"Indeed,"

The Nine-Tailed Fox nodded, but then its tone took a turn, becoming extremely serious and cold. "However, although this cultivation method doesn't require you to be a virgin and won't harm your purity, I still have to warn you. If you have a Taoist partner, I advise you to break off the relationship with him immediately."
