Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

Lin Bai didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly on the futon.

He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point:

"What are the requirements for the seventh level of the 'Demon Ape Suppressing Prison Technique'?"

Upon hearing this question, Yuan Shan's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

He looked up at Lin Bai, his expression complex.

It's only been a month.

He had actually already cultivated to the sixth level of perfection and was beginning to break through to the seventh level?

What an incredible speed of cultivation!

It should be noted that his father, hailed as a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Stone Ape Sect, spent a full three hundred years cultivating his technique to the sixth level.

He himself was stuck at the third level, unable to make any progress for more than a decade.

The difference between people is truly greater than the difference between a person and a dog.

"Why, can't I say?"

Lin Bai's voice pulled Yuan Shan back from his shock.

"No, no, no, of course not." Yuan Shan quickly waved his hand, a fine layer of cold sweat seeping from his forehead. "It's just... this is a long story."

"Then let's get to the point." Lin Bai didn't have much patience.

"Yes." Yuan Shan swallowed and began to explain.

"Senior, you may not know this, but our sect's 'Demon Ape Suppressing Prison Technique' is not actually complete."

"To be precise, the first six levels are the foundation, the methods for tempering qi and blood, and strengthening muscles and bones. As long as you have enough aptitude and resources, you can eventually master them with persistent effort."

"But things change from the seventh level onwards."

"The seventh, eighth, and ninth, these final three stages, are known as the Three Transformations."

"To achieve a breakthrough, one can no longer rely solely on arduous training and resources, but rather on a special catalyst."

Lin Bai listened quietly, his eyebrows slightly raised beneath his black robe.

Introduction?

Sure enough.

"What catalyst?" he asked.

Yuan Shan took a deep breath and uttered four words.

"Demon Ape Essence Blood"

"Demon Ape essence blood?"

"Yes." Yuan Shan nodded and continued to explain.

"Our Stone Ape Sect's founder once obtained the remains of an ancient demonic ape by chance, and from the remains, he comprehended this 'Demon Ape Prison Suppression Technique'."

"But after the technique was created, the founder discovered that the later the technique progressed, the higher the requirements became for the cultivator's bloodline."

"The bloodline of ordinary humans is simply not capable of supporting the final three layers of violent energy."

"Forced cultivation has only one outcome: bloodline collapse and death by explosion."

"Later, the patriarch came up with a solution. When breaking through to the seventh level, he would draw the essence and blood of the ancient demonic ape into his body, using its domineering bloodline power to forge a demonic ape martial soul within his own body, and then use the martial soul to drive and contain this power."

"So... senior, the Demonic Ape Suppressing Prison Technique, after the seventh level, is actually no longer a pure body-tempering technique."

......

Lin Bai fell silent.

Regardless of the cultivation technique, what he is considering now is whether he can continue to cultivate the Demonic Ape Prison Suppression Technique since the last three levels are no longer pure body-tempering techniques.

However, forging a martial soul with one's body...

"Where are the remains of the ancient demonic ape?" Lin Bai asked.

It can’t hurt to give it a try.

Upon hearing this question, Yuan Shan and Xu Changqing exchanged a glance.

Yuan Shan's lips twitched a few times, as if he found it difficult to speak.

Xu Changqing, standing beside him, clenched his thin fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

"Reporting back to the Supreme Elder... that demonic ape's corpse is... is no longer within the sect."

Lin Bai didn't react much, just quietly watched them.

Yuan Shan took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth.

"A hundred years ago, when my father was still alive, he had a dispute with the old sect leader of the Chiyang Sect, who was also Li Fentian's father, over the ownership of a spirit mine."

"In that battle, my father won by half a move, but he was also seriously injured and went into seclusion for thirty years."

"In the second year of my father's seclusion, the Crimson Sun Sect... took advantage of the fact that my Stone Ape Sect was weak inside and out, and that the mountain gate formation was unattended, and sent people to launch a sneak attack, infiltrating the forbidden area in the back mountain."

At this point, Yuan Shan's voice trembled slightly, a tremor born of long-suppressed humiliation.

"They...they broke into the ancestral master's tomb and stole the ancient demonic ape corpse, which is the treasure of our sect, along with the ancestral master's coffin."

"My father... also needed the essence blood of the demonic ape to control his martial soul after that injury."

"But the ancient demonic ape's remains were stolen, and its power is out of control..."

This secret of the sect, the greatest humiliation of the Stone Ape Sect in a hundred years, was revealed by Yuan Shan himself.

A sect that established itself on body-refining techniques had its core source stolen by its arch-enemy a hundred years ago.

This is tantamount to being slapped in the face and having your teeth broken and swallowed along with blood.

Xu Changqing closed his eyes, his aged face filled with pain.

That marked the beginning of the Stone Ape Sect's decline from its peak, and a wound in his heart that could never heal.

Yuan Shan lowered his head, not daring to look at Lin Bai.

He felt like a huge joke.

They had just invited someone to be their Supreme Elder when they told them that if they wanted to cultivate the core techniques, they had to snatch them back from their enemies.

He was even prepared to face Lin Bai's thunderous wrath.

Perhaps the other party felt they had been tricked, and in a fit of anger, it would be perfectly reasonable for them to simply destroy the Stone Ape Sect.

The atmosphere in the quiet room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Time passed, breath by breath.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Bai's voice rang out again.

"Red Sun Sect".

"Where?"

......

Yuan Shan's head buzzed.

He suddenly looked up, his face filled with disbelief.

He considered many possibilities.

Lin Bai might fly into a rage, question, mock, or even take direct action.

But what he hadn't expected was that the other party's reaction would be so simple, so... direct.

where is it?

These three words, though seemingly light, struck Yuan Shan's heart like three towering mountains.

What does he mean?

Could it be that he...?

An utterly absurd thought uncontrollably popped into Yuan Shan's mind.

He wanted to go to the Chiyang Sect to retrieve the items.

No, absolutely not!

That's the Crimson Sun Sect!

The territory of Linshan City is undoubtedly the overlord!

If it were a hundred years ago, he believed that the person in front of him could have done it.

Because a hundred years ago, Li Fentian, the sect leader of the Chiyang Sect, was only at the peak of the eighth level.

In a real fight, he would even be a step weaker than his father.

But over the course of a century, no one knows what extraordinary encounters the other party has experienced.

He actually broke through to the ninth rank, the Great Ascension Realm.

Yes, the Supreme Elder is also very strong.

Even so, he was only at the Mahayana Realm in terms of combat strength.

It's also impossible for him to defeat Li Fentian within the Chiyang Sect.
