Chapter 0720: The Blue Moon Pact

Chu Binyu and Jian Mang also left the hall.

Qin Yun held Yue Wulan's slender hand and smiled, "Second Sister, how have you been on Phantom Moon Island?"

Tian Ruoleng replied, "We're doing just fine. Don't worry about us!"

"Little Bro, I came here to tell you some news. Yang Shiyue is still in the Shadowmoon Peaks. She was spotted, but she was also injured!" Yue Wulan said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun grew anxious and quickly asked, "What about now? How is she?"

"We don’t know. She escaped after getting hurt!" Tian Ruoleng shook her head.

"Yuelan asked us to tell you not to worry. In another month, it will be the Blue Moon Night, when the moon turns blue. By then, Yang Shiyue’s injuries will heal!" Yue Wulan explained.

Qin Yun had already decided to head to the Shadowmoon Peaks immediately.

"Big Sis, Second Sis, I want to take you to meet someone!"

Remembering Bingxing’s instructions, Qin Yun led Yue Wulan and Tian Ruoleng to the Celestial Armory Hall. He also wanted to find out if the two women had past lives (reincarnations).

Before long, they arrived at the Celestial Armory Hall and met Bingxing. Qin Yun recounted how he'd met Tian Ruoleng and Yue Wulan to her.

As soon as Yue Wulan and Tian Ruoleng arrived, they sensed Bingxing’s awe-inspiring aura and realized she was the reclusive Immortal of the Immortal Armory Palace, treating her with great respect.

"Qin Yun, they’ve encountered some cultivation bottlenecks. I need to help them resolve it, which may take a few days," Bingxing said.

"Alright!" Qin Yun nodded.

"I’ll be taking them into the Immortal Essence. Don’t disturb us!" Bingxing added.

Soon after, Qin Yun asked Yue Wulan and Tian Ruoleng to draw their blades.

Those two blades, originally refined by Qin Yun, were only Monarch-Grade Spiritual Weapons. Now, he planned to upgrade them to Profound Artifacts.

After Bingxing took the two women into the Immortal Essence, Qin Yun immediately began enhancing the blades.

"Yuner, what exactly is Sister Bingxing doing?" Qin Yun asked. "The whole thing seems shady!"

"Not sure, but this aloof Immortal won’t harm you," Ling Yuner replied.

Qin Yun quickly refined the two blades into Profound Artifacts, even engraving Divine Sigils onto them. His artificing skills had improved, especially in the precision of carving totems.

In just two days, Bingxing emerged from the Immortal Essence with Tian Ruoleng and Yue Wulan.

As they came out, Qin Yun scrutinized their expressions, trying to discern any changes.

Yue Wulan and Tian Ruoleng hugged Qin Yun before saying their goodbyes and leaving. They had arrived with Hu Jingxian and now had to return.

Qin Yun escorted them out of the forbidden zone where the Celestial Armory Hall was located before rushing back.

"Sister Bingxing, do they have past lives?" Qin Yun asked.

"No! They're fine young women!" Sister Bingxing looked at Qin Yun and said, "I just rectified their cultivation errors and used the Sun Moon Celestial Bed to help improve their martial arts!"

"Thank you so much! They're my sworn elder sisters!" Qin Yun quickly expressed his gratitude.

"What? You thought I would harm them?" Sister Bingxing snorted coldly.

"Not at all!" Qin Yun chuckled, then his expression turned anxious again. "Sister Bingxing, I need to go to the Darkmoon Mountain Range. Sister Yang has been found, and she was injured!"

"You won’t find her if you go now. Wait until the night of the Blue Moon. That’s when you can use your spiritual consciousness to connect with the moon and sense her Darkmoon Martial Spirit!"

Sister Bingxing said, "During this time, you should focus on mastering your martial skills and the power of the middle Spiritual Martial Realm!"

Qin Yun was impatient, but knowing it was useless to go early, he obediently cultivated with Sister Bingxing. Then, he entered the Celestial Armory's Illusion Realm to spar with her.

After several days of combat training, Qin Yun gradually mastered the power of the middle Spiritual Martial Realm.

The middle Spiritual Martial Realm wasn’t just about cultivating the Primordial Spirit—it also greatly strengthened the Dao Soul.

Cultivating the Bone Spirit marked the early-stage Spiritual Martial Realm, allowing energy storage within the bones.

Cultivating the Primordial Spirit marked the mid-stage, enhancing mental energy in both quantity and strength.

Next, he needed to cultivate the Blood Spirit—a key to strengthening the physical body!

Immortal Cultivators and Demon Disciples, if persistent, could stagnate at this stage for years, refining Immortal Blood or demonic blood.

Qin Yun had already developed the Immortal-Demon Physique and possessed powerful Immortal-Demon Blood!

Thus, he could already be considered at the late Spiritual Martial Realm!

"Sister Bingxing, do I count as being in the late Spiritual Martial Realm now?" Qin Yun asked.

"Yes! Because your next step is to break through to the peak of the Spiritual Martial Realm—cultivating the Arcane Dao Crystal within your Dantian. Once you succeed, you’ll reach the peak!" Sister Bingxing said.

"What’s the use of the Arcane Dao Crystal?" Qin Yun found it sounded manageable.

"It’s extremely useful. It directly converts spiritual energy into Mystic Power, which transforms your Dantian into an Arcane Dantian!"

"It fortifies your Martial Soul and all aspects of your cultivation. Once you condense the Arcane Dantian, you’ll become a Martial Lord in the Profound Martial Realm, capable of wielding Mystic Dao Power!"

After saying this, Sister Bingxing left the Celestial Armory's Illusion Realm.

Qin Yun quickly returned to consciousness in his chamber and hurried eagerly to the Divine Armory.

In recent days, he had been trying to contact Yao Fang, but she seemed to be in secluded meditation, remaining unresponsive.

Originally, Qin Yun didn’t want to ask Sister Bingxing about this, fearing Yao Fang might mind.

But to uncover Yao Fang’s origins, he had no choice but to seek Sister Bingxing’s help.

On his way to the Divine Armory, Qin Yun tried dripping blood on the Immortal Burial Scroll again—but still couldn’t reach Sister Xie Qirou.

With no other options, Qin Yun continued toward the Divine Armory.

In the Celestial Armory, Bingxing was dressed very lightly, clutching white gauze to her chest, wearing shorts, and draped in a translucent robe.

The frosty immortal exuded an indescribable allure in such attire.

When she saw Qin Yun arrive, she hurriedly put on a white robe.

"Sister Bingxing, have you ever heard of a woman named Yao Fang?" Qin Yun asked.

"I haven't!" Bingxing thought for a moment and shook her head. "Who is she?"

"Just someone I heard of!" Qin Yun was surprised, as he had assumed Bingxing would know.

"Is she someone you know?" Bingxing pressed, clearly very concerned.

"In a way. She's under a curse that turned her entire skin black, riddled with scorch marks. She also said that even after reincarnation, she still can't escape this curse!" Qin Yun said sympathetically, feeling deeply guilty.

Because that curse was something he'd created in a past life.

Bingxing frowned slightly, pacing thoughtfully as if trying to recall something.

"I've only read about such a curse in books—it's something only the Demon Immortal Emperor of the Demon Immortal Domain knows! If this Yao Fang you speak of is under such a curse, she must be a formidable individual!"

"Because casting this curse requires the Demon Immortal Emperor to pay a heavy price, condemning him to slumber for tens of thousands of years!" Bingxing said.

Qin Yun already knew this curse was extremely powerful.

"Is there no way to break it?" Qin Yun asked.

"There is. If the Demon Immortal Emperor dies, the curse will be lifted. But that's impossible! Even the Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Wasteland can't kill the Demon Immortal Emperor. The two of them are among the strongest in the Celestial Wasteland—they're virtually unkillable!" Bingxing said. "Where did you meet this person? Is she an Immortal?"

"She came to me in a dream," Qin Yun lied.

Both Xie Qirou and Yao Fang had warned him not to tell Bingxing about the Nine Sun Godly Pendant.

"If you want to help her, the only way is to kill the Demon Immortal Emperor... which is impossible!" Bingxing said.

Qin Yun grew even more puzzled. Bingxing didn’t seem to recognize Yao Fang, yet Yao Fang had heard of Bingxing and seemed very familiar with her.

"Come, cultivate together with me!" Bingxing said, releasing a surge of immortal energy and yanking Qin Yun into the immortal pool.

Since Qin Yun had already cultivated the Immortal-Demon Physique, he was now only assisting Bingxing.

Bingxing had learned the Celestial-Demonic Sacred Body Art and knew how to cultivate Nine Cycles Celestial Power, but to speed up the process, she often roped Qin Yun into joint cultivation.

After cultivating with Qin Yun for a few days, Bingxing said, "Qin Yun, it's time for you to head to the Nethermoon Mountains. The Blue Moon will appear in about ten days!"

Setting aside his doubts about Yao Fang, Qin Yun returned to prepare.

With the Demon Star Overlord at his side, whose strength rivaled the Martial King's, Bingxing was reasonably confident letting him go.

Qin Yun stopped by the Guardian Hall, met with Jian Linglong and Liu Jingmeng, chatted for a while, and then returned to his room.

As soon as he got back, he immediately took out the Burial Immortal Painting and smeared his blood on it, trying to contact Xie Qirou—but failed.

Lying on his bed, he called forth the Nine Sun Godly Pendant and said, "Sister Yao, are you really asleep? I want to talk to you!"

Yao Fang inside the third bead of the Nine Sun Godly Pendant remained silent.

Qin Yun continued sending mental messages to Yao Fang inside, but still received no reply.

After a long while, the Diagram of the Fallen Immortals suddenly reacted!

Qin Yun bolted upright and placed the Diagram of the Fallen Immortals on the table.

"Sister Qi Rou, have you been feeling off these past few days?" Qin Yun asked.

"I've been in seclusion these days! What's up?" Xie Qirou laughed. "Xiao Yun, with Bingxing by your side, you can hit her up if anything comes up!"

"Sister Bingxing, I've opened the third bead of the Nine Suns Spirit Pearl. There's someone inside..." Qin Yun recounted the details about Yao Fang to Xie Qirou.

This shocked Xie Qirou, as she seemed unaware that such a person existed within the third bead.

"I don't know who she is. The name Yao Fang—I've never heard of it before!" Xie Qirou went quiet for a beat before saying.

"Sister Qi Rou, you don't know who she is either?" Qin Yun was stunned. He had assumed Xie Qirou would know.

Later, Xie Qirou also went over the curse, echoing what Bingxing had said earlier.

"Sister Qi Rou, not many people call you 'Xiao Rou,' right?" Qin Yun asked. "Think back—who would address you like that?"

"Only the girls who've got a few years on me call me that! But in my memory, there's no one who would be cursed by the Demon Immortal Emperor, let alone wind up inside the Nine Suns Spirit Pearl!" Xie Qirou replied.
