Chapter 0717: Dark Moon Obscures the Sun

Ling Yuner, who was in Qin Yun’s illusory space, froze for a moment before replying, "He’ll probably wake up in about half a shichen!"

"Hurry up then! This is a rare chance to get handsy with him. Seize it, or with your personality, you might never get another opportunity!"

"If I want to, I can get handsy with him anytime!" Bingxing said proudly.

"Sister Bingxing, I really wish I could become your Dao spirit!" Ling Yuner genuinely meant it. She had previously tried to persuade Qin Yun to make a move on Bingxing, but he stubbornly refused.

Yet Bingxing had such thoughts!

Bingxing trusted Ling Yuner completely, unaware that every single one of her actions had been reported to Qin Yun. She had been completely betrayed by Ling Yuner.

"Yuner, can I wake up now?" Qin Yun asked Ling Yuner in the illusory space.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Bingxing kiss him.

"Yuner, what the hell! What did you say to her? Why is she all over me?!" Qin Yun immediately cursed.

"She asked me when you’d wake up, so I said it might be in about half a shichen, and then… then she started coming onto you!"

Ling Yuner said irritably, "I told you already! Sister Bingxing is deliberately getting handsy with you! If you don’t make a move on her, she’ll make a move on you! Don’t blame me—she’s doing this willingly!"

"Sister Bingxing is such an ice-cold Fairy with hidden passion!"

Qin Yun agreed with Ling Yuner’s words.

Bingxing finally released Qin Yun from her embrace, though reluctantly, gently stroking his muscular body and kissing his neck, her eyes filled with smoldering desire.

After getting off the bed, Bingxing took out a set of snow-white holy robes and donned them. Once dressed, she stood by the bed, keeping watch over Qin Yun, not daring to leave in case he encountered any issues.

"Xiao Yun, she’s dressed now!" Ling Yuner said.

"But I’m not! Can you ask her to help me get dressed?" Qin Yun asked.

"Fine!" Ling Yuner sighed.

Ling Yuner found the situation amusing because she was the middleman.

She relayed messages, but Qin Yun and Bingxing remained unaware of each other’s thoughts—they only listened to Ling Yuner.

And Ling Yuner, being mischievous, always tweaked the messages.

"Sister Bingxing, help him get dressed! You can get handsy with him one more time!" Ling Yuner said.

Soon, Qin Yun regretted asking Ling Yuner to call Bingxing over to dress him. While feigning sleep, he was once again fondled and kissed by Bingxing.

"Xiao Yun, Sister Bingxing is still such a girl about love! She was so badly hurt by your past life, yet now she’s fallen for you all over again. She’s really that sweet, naive little thing!" Ling Yuner teased.

"To hell with her innocent act! If she were really that innocent, would she dare to be so bold with a man?" Qin Yun groused under his breath, having been taken advantage of multiple times.

Qin Yun could finally wake up.

Opening his eyes, he looked at Bingxing and smiled. "Sister Bingxing, it seems I’ve successfully cultivated the ImmortalDemon Physique! Thank you. That process was truly painful—I felt like I was about to die, like living through a nightmare!"

"No need for thanks. I was just helping Sister Qirou," Bingxing said coldly.

Qin Yun was annoyed. Bingxing had had her way with him repeatedly, yet now she played it cool, pretending to be cold.

"Some things might have happened earlier; just pretend it was a dream! Never mention it, and especially don't tell Yuelan, or else... or else I'll kill you!" Bingxing's voice was filled with threat, her tone icy.

"You wouldn’t actually kill me, would you? If you kill me, who’ll you kiss later?" Qin Yun thought to himself silently.

Bingxing suddenly wanted to contact Ling Yuner to give some instructions, but since Qin Yun had woken up, she was worried he might overhear if she sent a telepathic message.

"Qin Yun, don’t you have the Purple-Gold Lunar Martial Spirit? Now that you’ve cultivated the powerful Immortal-Demon Physique, even without the Righteous Qi Martial Spirit, you can resist corrupt energies with your mental energy. So, feel free to let your spirit undergo lunar spirit ascension!" Bingxing said.

Qin Yun was also eager to undergo lunar spirit ascension and step into the mid-stage of the Spirit Martial Realm.

This way, he could unlock the third bead of the Nine Suns Divine Core!

"Yes, I also want to break through quickly and then go find Sister Yang!" Qin Yun said.

"Qin Yun, after you find Yueji, don’t mention what just happened between us!" Bingxing reminded him again.

"Don’t worry, I keep secrets tight... By the way, what just happened between us?" Qin Yun said, taking out a purple-gold Spirit-Sealing Pearl.

"Nothing happened. It was all just a dream!" Bingxing took the Spirit-Sealing Pearl, studied it briefly, and then returned it to Qin Yun. "Can you encase the Spirit Starcrystal with your Purple-Gold Lunar Martial Spirit on your own?"

"No problem!" Qin Yun replied, pressing the Spirit-Sealing Pearl against his forehead.

He had previously absorbed many Star Dao Pills and consumed numerous Yuanling Mystic Pills, leaving him just a step away from cultivating his Yuanling (primordial spirit).

And the Purple-Gold Lunar Martial Spirit was the ideal breakthrough trigger.

Qin Yun’s lunar spirit ascension was equivalent to cultivating a Yuanling, which was different from others.

Soon, Qin Yun guided the Purple-Gold Lunar Martial Spirit into his mind, merging it with his Spirit Starcrystal.

At this moment, Bingxing also said, "Qin Yun, I will infuse my mental energy into your Spirit Starcrystal to help you break through!"

"Sister Bingxing, will this kind of assistance in cultivation have any negative effects in the future?" Qin Yun asked with some concern.

"No! In many great sects, elders often help juniors cultivate this way!" Bingxing said. "Clear your mind and let me guide the flow of your mental energy!"

Qin Yun followed Bingxing’s instructions, gradually relaxing his mental energy.

Before long, he felt Bingxing’s mental energy enter, controlling the Purple-Gold Lunar Martial Spirit to merge with the fully charged Spirit Starcrystal.

The Spirit Starcrystal was rapidly absorbing the power of the Purple-Gold Lunar Martial Spirit.

Under Bingxing’s control, the process progressed smoothly and swiftly.

Even with his eyes closed, Qin Yun could see a beautiful purple-gold moon gradually forming in his mind, making him think of Yang Shiyue.

Yang Shiyue had once possessed a stunning Purple-Gold Lunar Martial Spirit as well.

At noon, the nine scorching suns in the sky beat down mercilessly.

Suddenly, one of the suns gradually turned black.

Bingxing seemed to notice this and quickly emerged from the Immortal Essence spring, hurrying to the Immortal Armory’s entrance.

Seeing the heavenly anomaly in the sky, she knew it was caused by Qin Yun’s lunar spirit ascension.

This phenomenon was visible to everyone in the Spirit Barrens.

Qin Yun also arrived at the entrance of the Immortal Armory Hall and saw a sun turning black, ringed in violet-gold light. He exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Bingxing, is this... my doing?"

At the same time, that sun gradually recovered its radiance.

"It's nothing, don't overthink it. Go back inside!" Bingxing said.

...

At Sword Immortal Manor, Jian Shitian watched the slowly recovering sun, his face filled with shock.

Jian Nanhu asked, "Grandfather, what's going on? This kind of phenomenon seems very rare!"

"Clash of Sun and Moon! A powerful Lunar Cultivator has emerged, causing the Nethermoon to eclipse the Sun!" Jian Shitian frowned. "This is most likely caused by those three Moon Sect cultivators!"

"Grandfather, a month has passed, and the people from the Profound Domain still haven't come? Two Provincial Kings have already died! And many sect leaders of the Demon Sects have perished. Aren't the experts from the Demon Profound Realm and the Spirit Profound Realm going to investigate?" Jian Nanhu asked curiously.

"Perhaps they are too preoccupied to intervene," Jian Shitian chuckled. "Even if they come out, they’d probably just rush to the Nethermoon Mountain Range to capture Yang Shiyue directly! Even if they do investigate and find out it was Qin Yun’s doing, would they dare confront him?"

Jian Nanhu said, "Qin Yun is so powerful, with Immortals aiding him, and the Immortal Armory City has obtained so much Immortal Essence. I need to cultivate even more diligently—I must defeat him!"

No one dared to cause trouble for Qin Yun at Immortal Armory City, as it would be no different from seeking death.

Everyone knew that within Immortal Armory Palace hid a mysterious and powerful Fairy, and Qin Yun was that Fairy’s cherished one. Anyone who dared to provoke Qin Yun would be doomed.

Qin Yun returned to the Celestial Soldier Hall, stretching his arms with a smile. "Sister Bingxing, Jingmeng hasn’t come by lately—she must be learning the Path of Mystic Runes from Elder Linglong!"

"Elder Linglong? Judging by the name, she’s a woman? Since when did our Immortal Armory Palace have such an elder?" Bingxing frowned.

"Her name is Jian Linglong, the Martial Emperor of Sword Immortal Pavilion, a Mystic Rune Master who possesses the Dao Lord Rune Soul! I recruited her from Sword Immortal Pavilion!" Qin Yun laughed.

"That gentle and beautiful Mystic Rune Master?" Bingxing’s voice suddenly turned colder, as if tinged with jealousy.

"Well... she’s not exactly gentle," Qin Yun felt like he had stirred up a jealous storm.

"I want to meet her," Bingxing said coldly.

Qin Yun suddenly grew worried. "Sister Bingxing, don’t drive her away. She can be a great teacher for Jingmeng!"

Bingxing said, "Since she’s joined our Immortal Armory City, she’s one of us. She’s even become an elder and is a Mystic Rune Master—with such status, of course I should meet her!"

Soon after, Bingxing sent word to Bao Changshou and Granny Ma—whoever was available should summon Jian Linglong over.

"Should I stay here?" Qin Yun asked.

"Stay," Bingxing said. "I just want to see if she’s someone I know. Because those who had ties with you in your past life all seem to be close to you now."

"Elder Linglong is quite ancient—possibly thousands of years or nearly ten millennia," Qin Yun said.

"We’ll see. Even if she hasn’t awakened her memories, just by her appearance, I can recognize if she’s someone I know," Bingxing replied.

Before long, Jian Linglong arrived.

As soon as she entered and saw Bingxing, sensing the immense Immortal power, she was astonished but quickly bowed in respect.

"Jian Linglong pays homage to the Supreme Elder!"

Jian Linglong also recalled Qin Yun once mentioning how extraordinarily beautiful this Fairy was—and now, seeing her in person, it was indeed true.

"Linglong, welcome to Immortal Armory City! Jingmeng is born with an Immortal Body and possesses the Totemic Runesoul. I hope you can guide her cultivation well."

"Here’s a message conch for you. If you have any questions about your cultivation, you can contact me. When my schedule permits, I’ll guide you," Bingxing said.

"Thank you, Supreme Elder!" Jian Linglong took the message conch, secretly astonished that Elder Qi Meilian actually had a Totemic Runesoul.

"Maintain secrecy regarding Jingmeng’s possession of a Runesoul," Bingxing reminded.
