Chapter 7: Betrothing Beloved Daughter

“Will?” Yang Dingtian was shocked and asked, “Master, are you not leaving with me?”

“Don’t worry. Wait till I finish talking,” Dongfang Niemie said seriously.

“Yes!” Yang Dingtian eyes turned hot from tears that were about to fall.

“I’ll tell my wife to make you the next Yin Yang Sect Head through my will. I will ask her to use all of our sect resources to train you and turn you into an expert in no time. Thus, you will be able to take over the entire Yin Yang Sect as soon as possible.”

“Besides, I will also betroth my daughter to you through the will. Her name is Dongfang Bingling. She’s a few months younger than you, and you two are a perfect match. She is my only daughter and is as precious as a pearl to me. You are a good boy, and you are also smart enough. I can rest assured betrothing her to you.” Dongfang Niemie laughed.

“But, but, what if she doesn’t agree? Men and women need feelings to be together. Maybe she already has a man who she loves?” Yang Dingtian argued.

Dongfang Niemie didn’t utter a word and instead pulled Yang Dingtian’s hand over to the flame accessory. Suddenly, two fireballs emerged from the ring and lit the flame accessory. The flame accessory emitted light and projected an image onto the cold ice wall.

It was the image of a girl who looked about ten years old. Although she was only ten, she already looked so beautiful that it was suffocating. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. He couldn’t believe that such a beautiful girl existed. She looked like someone straight out of an artist’s painting.

“This was my daughter ten years ago. She’s now your fiancé. Now that ten years have passed, I can no longer imagine how beautiful she has become. My wife is already extremely beautiful. Yet, she is even more beautiful than her mom,” said Dongfang Niemie.

Indeed, the most beautiful woman Yang Dingtian had ever seen before was his girlfriend, Li Bijun. However, this Dongfang Bingling was even more beautiful than her.

“I am her father. I am her world. She must abide by what I say. Ever since childhood, she would always listen to whatever I said. Most importantly, although she does not have a Nine Yin body, she still has an extraordinary Pure Yin body just like her mother. Ordinary men would not be blessed enough to have her. Only you with the Nine Yang body are a perfect match for her. It is beneficial for your cultivation if the two of you were to get married. Yin and Yang would balance, and training would require less effort.”

“In another three years, if she still hasn’t found and slept with a man with strong Xuan veins, she will be burned alive by the Yin fire in her body. For these reasons, if I don’t betroth her to you, who shall I betroth her to? Now, will you agree to marry my daughter?” asked Dongfang Niemie.

Yang Dingtian’s face turned red, and he nodded.

“Haha…..” Dongfang Niemie declared, “Today is the happiest day I’ve lived over the past decade. Not only have I found a legend, but I’ve also found someone who my daughter can rely on. I can really die in peace now.”

“I would have died ten years ago, but because I was not satisfied, I maintained the last vestiges of my life and awaited a miracle. Who could have known that God would pity me and give you, Yang Dingtian to me?”

Looking at Dongfang Niemie’s aging face that had flushed abnormally red, Yang Dingtian replied uneasily, “Master.”

“After enduring such a difficult decade, I’ve almost forgotten about my previous self. “Dongfang Niemie said to Yang Dingtian, “My good disciple, in my final moment, I will show you my true self. I will show you the mighty and strong Dongfang Niemie…”

Suddenly, a miracle happened. It was as if a blue fireball had ignited from within the old man’s body.

Dongfang Niemie’s dry and messy hair turned black and shiny. It even fluttered. His old dry skin instantly became tight and smooth. Those gloomy eyes became as scorching hot as flames.

In an instant, it was as if Dongfang Niemie had turned ten years younger, transforming from a gloomy old man into a handsome middle-aged man. Even the beggar-like robes that he wore turned into a jade gown covered with flame prints. The flame prints looked so real that they looked like they would emerge from the robe at any moment.

This was Dongfang Niemie’s true face, mighty and arrogant.

“I was too weak this past year. I couldn’t teach you even a single technique. But, I can give you one more precious gift. I’ll use the last of my energy to cleanse your veins for you.” Dongfang Niemie raised his hand, and Yang Dingtian instantly felt a hot energy envelop him, lifting his entire body into the air.

“When practicing martial arts, cleansing the veins is of paramount importance. Human veins are like countless rivers, and the Sea of Energy in the lower abdomen is like an ocean. Rivers will flow and eventually gather into the ocean. Xuan Energy is like water. Each time you practice, you add a stream of water to your Sea of Energy and your veins. ”

However, just like rivers and streams in the real world, the veins will accumulate blockage over time, slowing your progress until it halts completely. Cleansing the veins is like clearing river blockage. It will allow a smoother flow of Xuan Energy between the Sea of Energy in the lower abdomen and the veins. A smoother flow makes practicing martial arts much easier, allowing one to make greater progress with less effort.”

“Today, Master will cleanse your veins for you. As for how many layers I will manage to cleanse, that will depend on you.”

Done with his lecture, Dongfang Niemie exerted a powerful force onto the bottom of Yang Dingtian’s right foot.

*************

“Ahh! It’s so cold and so hot! Yang Dingtian tried to scream but couldn’t make a single sound.

Dongfang Niemie practiced the Pure Yang Xuan Li technique, a strange technique that burned like raging fire. When this energy entered one’s body, it first burned extremely hot to the point that it threatened to burn one into ashes. However, at the same time, it also felt extremely cold to the point that it threatened to freeze one in solid ice.

“I have the Pure Yang body and have practiced the art of fire. However, I’ve practiced the art to an extreme level. As such, Yang has become Yin, and Yin has become Yang. Flames burn blue at this stage. One can no longer differentiate hot from cold. The flames are simultaneously extremely cold and extremely hot. It took me thirty-nine years of practice to reach this stage. As you have the Nine Yang body, I believe that you only need ten to twenty years to reach the same level. At that time, the flame ring on your finger will reappear, and you can publically announce that you are the Yin Yang Sect Head.”

As Dongfang Niemie spoke, a strong force continuously poured through Yang Dingtian’s foot and moved along his veins. The energy really seemed to cleanse all of his veins without missing a single one.

The entire process was extremely painful. It was as if he was being burned by a fire several thousand degrees hot and simultaneously being frozen by ice under a hundred degrees below zero cold. This kind of pain could not be described with words. Compared to the level of pain he was currently experiencing, the pain he felt when he was burned and transmigrated was not even worth mentioning.

The powerful Xuan energy cleansed Yang Dingtian’s veins inch by inch. At first, the energy cleansed around one inch a minute. However, progress soon became slower and slower, while the pain that Yang Dingtian felt got more and more intense. Finally, all of his skin shuddered. Yang Dingtian’s body turned half red and half blue and took on an extremely strange appearance.

Half an hour later!

The inhuman pain and suffering had ended. Yang Dingtian’s entire body was numb. His first vein cleansing had ended. He was still floating in the air, looking like a fish that had been beached and was exposed to the sun. Apart from trying to breathe, he couldn’t do anything else. Yet, his entire body felt so refreshed in a way that words couldn’t describe. His entire body was covered with greasy black impurities, which were blockages in his veins that had been cleansed by Dongfang Niemie.

As a result, even though Yang Dingtian’s entire body had endured so much pain that it turned numb, he was still filled with such a refreshing feeling. It was as if the wind were blowing through his veins.

However, Dongfang Niemie seemed to have turned ten years older. Half of his previously black and purplish long hair had now turned white and grey.

“I really can’t believe it. In merely a quarter of an hour, I managed to cleanse the first layer of your veins. Your cultivation progress now should be three to four times faster than before.”

“The Nine Yang body truly is amazing. The speed at which I could wash the first layer of your veins is ten times faster than normal. I remember having to spend an entire day and night when I washed my veins for the first time. For you, however, the Xuan energy that needed to cleanse the first layer is merely a small fraction of what is needed by others. Such a constitution is way too amazing.”

“At first, I thought that all of my dying Xuan Energy could only wash the first layer for you. I never thought that I would only need to use a little energy to wash the first layer!”

“Now, let’s continue. I want to see how amazing Nine Yang Xuan veins are.”

Dongfang Niemie lifted his palm again. A strong force rushed into Yang Dingtian’s body from his right palm. The force was four to five times stronger than the first time.

“The Xuan Energy required to wash the second layer is a few times more than the energy needed to wash the first layer. The deeper one goes, the more Xuan energy is needed. From the third layer onwards, relying on foreign Xuan energy to wash the veins would require a 100 fold increase. As such, doing it that way is almost impossible. At that stage, one could only use one’s own Xuan energy to wash the veins.”

Sure enough, the time needed to wash the second layer was much greater, while the degree of pain increased by several folds. It got so intense that Yang Dingtian could no longer stand it. That cold and fiery pain made him feel as if his body was about to explode. His eyeballs were filled with red blood veins that bulged as if they were about to burst.

“Those who are weak in martial arts normally have weaker veins and are thus unable to endure the excruciating pain during vein washing. As a result, the deeper these individuals wash their veins, the closer to hell they feel they’re getting. It even becomes dangerous towards the end. Sometimes, the process may fail and your condition would regress one layer. However, that result could already be considered very lucky as many have died when their veins exploded. This is why you must be extremely confident to wash your veins. Otherwise, the chance of survival is extremely small.”

Even though Yang Dingtian could hear what Dongfang Niemie was saying, all of the words sounded extremely weird. It was as if he was listening to someone talking while underwater. Yang Dingtian’s entire body was malfunctioning.

Time passed minute by minute. Dongfang Niemie’s Xuan energy moved forward bit by bit, completely cleaning every inch of Yang Dingtian’s Xuan veins.

After exactly five hours, the second layer of washing was complete. Yang Dingtian was floating in the air, unable to move and appearing as if he was already dead. There was a layer of black filth covering him from head to toe. There was a strong wind-like force flowing through his veins, causing his whole body to feel as if it could levitate and fly away.
