Cultivation: Starting with a Dao Companion, My Descendants Prosper

At midnight, in the quiet and deserted time, Ye Tian sneaked into Mysterious Azure Peak.

"It should be here."

Based on the system's positioning, Ye Tian determined Zou Zhihe's exact location.

With a punch, Ye Tian broke the seal and rushed into the house.

Ye Tian discovered that Zou Zhihe's limbs were firmly chained to a cross, her face was extremely haggard, and her lips were dry...

"Damn it! Who the hell trapped Zhihe here?"

Ye Tian cursed silently and immediately went forward to untie Zou Zhihe.

Zou Zhihe, who was awakened, recognized that it was Ye Tian who came to rescue her and immediately became flustered.

"Ye Tian, how did you get in?"

"Sneaked in, the defense wasn't particularly tight..."

Ye Tian shrugged, realizing that this rescue mission was indeed easier than imagined.

"There was quite a commotion just now, we need to leave here quickly!"

Upon hearing Ye Tian's response, Zou Zhihe grabbed her hair with her newly freed hands and shook frantically.

"It's impossible, it can't be this easy!"

"This is a trap! Ye Tian, run!"

She pushed Ye Tian away in a panic, her face showing a bewildered expression.

"Too late!"

At that moment, an elegant and noble woman blocked Ye Tian's way, and this person was none other than Xuan Shui Shangren.

"Zhihe, is this your beloved? He seems quite talented..."

Xuan Shui Shangren looked Ye Tian up and down.

"Master, please let him go! I promise you! I promise you anything!"

Zou Zhihe knelt on the ground, pleading with Xuan Shui Shangren.

"Let him go? Haha, is that possible? Only dead people keep their mouths shut!"

Xuan Shui Shangren held a floating dust in her hand and prepared to attack Ye Tian.

"Master, today you must ensure her safety! Otherwise, I will die in front of you! I will destroy your hundred-year plan! Let your elaborate scheme turn to foam!"

"I think you probably don't have enough time to cultivate another suitable host, right?"

At some point, Zou Zhihe took a spiritual sword from Ye Tian's hand and held it against her own neck, threatening her life.

Xuan Shui Shangren was clearly frightened by her actions, losing her composure.

"Don't be agitated! Don't be agitated! Master will listen to you, let go of your little lover!"

After speaking, she made way for Ye Tian, indicating for him to leave alone.

Ye Tian finally understood the whole story...

It turned out that this damn Xuan Shui Shangren, knowing that her aptitude was not enough to break through to Nascent Soul and gain a longer lifespan, practiced unorthodox methods and came up with the idea of prolonging her life through body possession.

Starting from a hundred years ago, she began searching for suitable hosts, and Zou Zhihe was her target...

After decades of cultivation, Zou Zhihe became her most cherished treasure. Whatever Zou Zhihe wanted, she would provide, treating her as her own.

A few months ago, when Zou Zhihe returned, Xuan Shui Shangren discovered that her carefully cultivated host seemed to be showing signs of breaking free from her control.

Not only did Zou Zhihe inexplicably break through to Gold Core, but she also lost her Yuan Yin...

What did this mean? It meant that if she didn't regain control over Zou Zhihe, the cooked duck might fly away. How could this be allowed?

Hundreds of years of planning must not be in vain!

...

Ye Tian remained silent, pretending to be afraid of death, and walked to the door, pretending to abandon Zou Zhihe and escape alone.

At this moment, a third-grade superior spirit talisman in Ye Tian's left hand palm was revealed.

Facing such an old monster, Ye Tian had to use all his skills.

[Absolute Confinement! Activate!]

This spirit talisman was the strongest one he could use with his current strength, absorbing two-thirds of his spiritual power.

Ye Tian, whose dantian was somewhat depleted, quickly drank a sip of the spiritual water from the Wooden Spirit Gourd to replenish himself.

The so-called "Absolute Confinement" meant that once hit by this spirit talisman, there was a 100% chance of having one's spiritual power and consciousness sealed...

Of course, cultivators with strong abilities might be able to break free in an instant.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Tian took out another third-grade medium-quality Spiritual Weapon he had deceived from Zou Zhihe - the "Separation Cone".

The use of this Spiritual Weapon required great skill.

If used openly, it would be difficult to be effective.

But if used in a sneak attack... it could change the situation completely.

[Separation Cone! Attack!]

Ye Tian controlled the tungsten cone and attacked the completely confined Xuan Shui Shangren, aiming directly at the vital point of a Gold Core cultivator - the dantian.

When the tungsten cone reached her, Xuan Shui Shangren had just freed herself from the control.

Before she could curse Ye Tian for being unscrupulous, a slender piece of metal stabbed towards her chest.

Moreover, she faintly felt that the aura on this Spiritual Weapon was extremely terrifying, capable of completely disabling her.

However, in such a short time, she couldn't take effective defensive measures at all.

The tungsten cone rapidly transformed from a black dot to the size of a drill bit... and pierced into her dantian.

"No!"

"Ah!"

The sound of the dantian shattering was so crisp and pleasant...

Xuan Shui Shangren fell to the ground, helpless and wailing.

"Senior Sister, come and save me!"

Seeing her once kind and amiable master meet such an end, Zou Zhihe felt a mix of emotions.

Everything she had cherished turned out to be fake, a complete deception...

Only she, in her innocence, had believed it to be true!

"I will personally deal with her!"

Zou Zhihe raised her long sword and looked down at the pitiful Xuan Shui Shangren with a complex expression.

"Our master-disciple relationship is severed!"

The long sword pierced through her mouth, sending her straight to the King of Hell.

...

"Even if we kill Xuan Shui Shangren, we still can't escape from Tianyuan Sect!

With such a big commotion just now, I'm afraid we have already been surrounded!"

Apart from Zou Zhihe, who had just successfully advanced, and the fallen Xuan Shui Shangren, there were eight Gold Core cultivators in Tianyuan Sect, among whom the Sect Master Tianyang Shangren had already reached the peak of Gold Core. As long as the timing was right, he could break through to Nascent Soul.

"Don't worry, since I came alone to rescue you, I have some confidence!" Ye Tian gave her a look, reassuring her.

"You mean Yuan Yu has also come?" Zou Zhihe's eyes lit up. As long as the fourth-grade medium-quality Yuan Yu made a move, they would definitely be able to escape from the encirclement of Tianyuan Sect today.

"Heavenly Net!"

Just then, a golden net descended from the sky, completely trapping Ye Tian and Zou Zhihe.

"You came quite quickly, Tianyang Shangren!" Ye Tian looked up and saw an old man who seemed a bit anxious.

"Yuan Yu! Don't hide anymore, it's time for you to make a move!

Capture them all in one net!"

"After this battle, Tianyuan Sect will be expelled from the Song Kingdom..."
