Night of Despair-Chapter 510: Situation 508 Second
"Yu Hu greets Master Yuxue." Yu Hong already knew at this moment that the other party’s cultivation was unfathomable, so he immediately took the initiative to lower his posture and stepped forward with a bow.
"Where do you come from? Where are you going? Why are you seriously ill?" Yu Xuezi asked calmly, looking at Yu Hong.
He was nearly four meters tall, much taller than Yu Hong. From afar, he looked like an enlarged and handsome Lei Zhenzi.
"Senior, I come from a remote planet and am headed to the land of vitality to explore the Star Disaster. As for why I’m seriously ill..." Yu Hong smiled wryly, "In times of crisis, I had no choice. Any power I could grasp, I would take hold of first and worry about the rest later."
Thinking about it now, the cultivation techniques he strengthened in such a short time with such great progress were inevitably demon path and evil path techniques, weren’t they?
What orthodox technique could become so powerful in just over two years?
Such rapid advancement was bound to bring great repercussions.
"Land of vitality??" Yu Xuezi was stunned, carefully looking at Yu Hong. "You want to go to the land of vitality... I’m afraid your hope is slim...."
"This junior knows all too well, but in one’s life, there must be pursuits," Yu Hong replied.
"You carry the scent of a Star God contract. These primordial entities love to do such things. What they cannot accomplish themselves, they hope others will help them complete. Little do they know, the beings they find naturally won’t be stronger than they are. In such a state, except for relying on luck, the success rate is pitifully low." Yu Xuezi seemed somewhat knowledgeable about Star Gods.
"Master...." Yu Hong wanted to say more, but Yu Xuezi raised a hand to stop him.
"Enough. Solving your condition isn’t that difficult, just isolate the Light Disaster’s connection to you. But as for the reward for treatment, what will you use to pay?" Yu Xuezi said straightforwardly.
"Junior..." Yu Hong thought for a moment, about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Bai Sheng on the side suddenly moved his lips, seemingly transmitting a message.
In the next moment, Yu Xuezi’s eyebrows furrowed, and he began to look at Yu Hong with a questioning and unbelieving gaze.
But soon, the doubt in his eyes quickly turned into shock and amazement.
"What the heck! It’s really two years!!?" Yu Xuezi couldn’t hold back, crushing the broom in his hand into pieces that shattered all over the ground.
Unconsciously, he stepped closer to Yu Hong, bent over, and his emerald-like eyes emitted two green beams, scanning up and down Yu Hong’s body.
"What... a mess of a hodgepodge is this??"
The eyes with peculiar power fluctuations succeeded in attracting his attention. The fluctuation was similar to some advanced monsters from the Spirit Disaster, but without the unique pollution of the Spirit Disaster.
It was as if it had naturally developed within the person before him, with an integrated qi.
No matter how Yu Xuezi calculated, he couldn’t figure out how such a thing could possibly develop within Yu Hong’s body of this strength.
It was like a diamond being formed in a lump of dough. Just arriving at this conclusion made Yu Xuezi start questioning whether there was an issue with his own calculative knowledge.
Meanwhile, the other eye was also very similar to some cultivators with innate gifts, possessing special abilities.
’Could it be an implant? The qi mechanism shouldn’t be so naturally integrated if so!?’ This was the crux of what left him utterly perplexed.
This was a young man full of mysteries, definitely not more than thirty years old, but he already had the perfection of the Golden Core Stage.
Although it was a fast-tracked evil path cultivation, even in the evil path, he had never seen someone advance in the Golden Core Stage this quickly.
"Master?" Yu Hong was bewildered, feeling somewhat uneasy under the other’s scrutiny.
"Nothing." Yu Xuezi retracted the glow from his eyes and said calmly. "The treatment is not difficult, but my Qinghe Mountain is a famous orthodox path, while your magic skill is from demon path and evil path, heavily tainted by killing aura. Therefore..."
"I ask you this: among those you’ve killed, were there any innocent and kind people?"
He asked this with great righteousness and utmost seriousness.
"No!" Yu Hong also replied solemnly and loudly.
"In your actions, have you ever gone against your conscience? Have you ever harmed others for personal gain?"
"No!"
Yu Hong answered again.
"Good!" Yu Xuezi clapped Yu Hong on the shoulder. "In that case, I will suppress the problem in your body for you. But suppression is all I can do; to completely resolve it, you need to practice orthodox techniques to strengthen virtue and suppress evil, thoroughly blocking the channel connected to the Light Disaster within your body."
"This... may I ask, Master, what exactly is orthodoxy? I’ve never seen a power capable of resisting the Source Disaster and Star Disaster on my journey. It’s all about leveraging another Source Disaster’s power to reach a delicate balance."
"That’s a good question," Yu Xuezi said with a hint of astonishment. It seemed he hadn’t expected Yu Hong to have such insight.
"But the answer is a secret we do not pass on. If you wish to know, you must join our sect."
"... So, Master can only help suppress it temporarily. To resolve it, I must practice orthodox techniques, and to practice orthodox techniques, I must join your sect to receive the teachings?" Yu Hong realized the meaning.
"What nonsense is this? Am I the kind of person who forces a sale?" Yu Xuezi said with narrowed eyes, holding his head high.
"I will suppress it for you for free, and later you can seek other orthodox masters." He said earnestly.
"But this place is remote, and even the nearest branch of Qinghe Mountain is more than ten light-years away."
"If you want to leave, you need to carefully consider whether your journey will be timely enough...." Yu Xuezi added, "After all, my suppression can only extend the time by three months."
"....." Yu Hong was left speechless, catching a glimpse of Hei Ying sneaking a laugh out of the corner of his eye.
He roughly understood the other’s intentions.
Immediately, he no longer hesitated, bowing deeply to Yu Xuezi.
"In that case, this junior humbly requests for Master Yu Xuezi to accept him into the sect and impart the true teachings!"
"No rush, no rush, your character needs to be observed further. Let’s first suppress the Light Disaster connection in your body." Yu Xuezi was indeed in no hurry to accept him.
"Thank you, Master!" Yu Hong hurriedly expressed his gratitude, "Then about the reward...."
"It’s a trivial matter. Don’t mention it again." Yu Xuezi said lightly.
As Yu Hong stood up, a speck of golden light lit at Yu Xuezi’s fingertip. Instantly, the golden light shot out, leaving a trail of afterimages, striking the center of Yu Hong’s dantian.
All of a sudden, the numerous Light Wells in Yu Hong’s body, which had already been sealed once, now seemed as if the wells’ openings were blocked with sand and stone, causing the radiation emissions to plummet greatly.
In just a few seconds, all the Light Wells in the dantian completely shut, as if disappearing, with no more sound.
At the same time, the Inner Strength of the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill rapidly filled the void, completely occupying the dantian and further blocking the power’s outburst from the Light Wells.
Yu Hong stood in place, bewildered by the whole situation.
The Ultimate Sun issue that had troubled him for so long seemed to be resolved effortlessly by this person before him.
This gave him a strong sense of unreality.
"Is this... done?" he asked in disbelief.
"Of course not," Yu Xuezi shook his head, "The source of the Light Disaster is the Ultimate Sun, and you have already had a minor connection with the Ultimate Sun. Therefore, the connection isn’t easy to sever. It’s just temporarily cut and isolated."
He paused and continued.
"To achieve a complete isolation and disconnection, you must rely on yourself to cultivate along the righteous path, to cultivate your Essence Qi in perfect unity, to enter the Golden Core Realm of no leakage, only then can you avoid your qi mechanism being captured and linked by the Source Disaster."
’The evil path and demon path routes you took before caused your qi mechanism to leak like a sieve. Your power increased rapidly, but so did the risk of death.’ Yu Xuezi commented unreservedly.
Yu Hong nodded in understanding.
"So next...."
"You should go rest first, further observation is needed to ensure everything is thoroughly stable," Yu Xuezi explained with a wave of his hand.
"Junior takes his leave." Yu Hong immediately saluted.
Hei Ying led him to his resting place.
Leaving Bai Sheng behind, once everyone was far away, he spoke to Yu Xuezi via transmission.
"Master, why did you....?"
"Why did I accept that person and even treat him for free, right?" Yu Xuezi finished his sentence.
"Exactly, this disciple doesn’t understand. Even if it’s you, the energy consumption wouldn’t be light, would it? After all, it is the ultimate source of the Light Disaster," Bai Sheng frowned.
"Actually, it’s not that bad," Yu Xuezi laughed heartily. "It sounds intimidating, the ultimate source of the Light Disaster, the Ultimate Solar Power. But do you know how big the Ultimate Sun is?"
"How big???" Bai Sheng paused.
"The current Ultimate Sun should be about as large as ten to twenty Constant Star Systems combined, note that it’s all the space fused together, not merely stacked planets," Yu Xuezi explained.
"That large!!?" Bai Sheng was shocked.
"Actually, for the ultimate powers of each Source Disaster, we all have observations. Upon reaching a certain realm, they are disasters that must be encountered. Such a vast Ultimate Sun, the little guy only bears an insignificant speck. To be blunt, the total amount of borrowed power that little guy has isn’t even a billionth of the Ultimate Sun. Cutting this amount off was incredibly low-difficulty for me."
"But even so... why does Master want to take him as a disciple?" Bai Sheng was still puzzled.
"Let me ask you, when I took you as my disciple, how much did I give your family?" Yu Xuezi asked.

"Um... about ten thousand Source Stones..." Bai Sheng replied honestly.
"And how much did I give your junior sister’s family?" Yu Xuezi asked again.
"Fifty-five thousand." Bai Sheng remembered this very clearly.
"Then why did you choose to become my disciple instead of another Qinghe Mountain Immortal?" Yu Xuezi asked again.
"Because you offered more money," Bai Sheng answered honestly once more.
"Correct!" Yu Xuezi clapped his hands, "Now, why was I willing to give money to your families?"
"Because... my junior sister and I have good potential..." Bai Sheng thought for a moment and answered.
"Precisely!" Yu Xuezi nodded. "Now let me ask you."
He turned around, looking at his eldest disciple.
"When a potential ten times better than yours appears before me, what do you think I would do?"
"... Give money?" Bai Sheng asked, puzzled.
"Bribe?!?" Yu Xuezi slapped him on the forehead.
"Do you think I have that much money? Can I outdo other immortals?? I can’t! In such times, bribing is pointless; retaining the person and making established facts is what’s crucial!!"
"Master, you’re wise!" Bai Sheng quickly complimented, holding his head.
"Of course, to guard against any potential issues this person might have, I’ll observe him for some time, but establish the relation first, and if problems arise, expel him from the sect. If we can cultivate a new high-level immortal for the sect, the three of us can also leave this bitter cold place and return to the main star system to enjoy life!" Yu Xuezi sighed. "Leaving is key, and the rest we’ll address later on."
