Dual Cultivation With My Yandere Disciples

Chen Xuan stared at the struggling Huo Ling’er with a speechless expression.

He truly could not understand what was going on inside his disciple’s mind.

As for believing she had done this intentionally to help him discover a method to pass through this place? He no longer believed that.

After all, the two large piles of fish beside her had already said everything, as well as the new water puddle beneath her.

Chen Xuan shook his head. While not forgetting to pay attention to her, afraid she would try to complete another "adventure", he raised his head to look at the large body of water in front of him.

The strange ocean stretched before them without end.

It was completely still.

There were no waves, no currents, and not even the slightest ripple on its surface. Yet despite its calm appearance, Chen Xuan could faintly sense an oppressive force hidden within it.

It was almost as though the entire body of water possessed a consciousness of its own.

Huo Ling’er’s advances had already granted him a rough understanding of it.

It was exactly as she claimed.

Spiritual Energy was impossible to use, and the same was likely true for the power of the Law Mark too.

Of course, even if the latter was not the case, Chen Xuan would not have recklessly used it.

The clones could indeed utilize the Yin-Yang Law Mark. However, that didn’t mean it came without a cost.

The clones were too weak to withstand the Law Mark’s full power. If he kept on using it without a downtime, it was likely they would directly explode and die on the spot.

That was something Chen Xuan naturally didn’t wish to see.

After all, although the clones could be recreated, doing so still consumed a considerable amount of energy. More importantly, they were currently in an unknown secret realm filled with dangers.

He couldn’t afford to casually exhaust one of his strongest methods, especially when accompanied by his treasured disciples.

With that thought, Chen Xuan continued observing the body of water.

His divine sense couldn’t penetrate very far into it either.

The deeper it went, the stronger the invisible force became.

It was as though there was something hidden at the bottom, silently suppressing everything that entered its domain.

Just as a faint idea was starting to form in his mind, one of his disciples suddenly spoke up.

It was not Huo Ling’er, nor Xiao Lingxi, who supposedly should be most familiar with water since she had stayed in the Nine Origins Seas her entire life.

Instead, it was his otherwise most silent disciple—Chi Yao.

"Master, if things are as Senior Sister Huo claims, then we won’t be able to enter the palace using normal methods," she took the initiative to say.

"I previously observed the Elder. It seems that she used some Beastkin-like spell, transforming herself into a mermaid briefly. From this, we can understand that creatures other than humans are not as severely suppressed."

"Or rather, their racial abilities are not."

Chen Xuan nodded his head. This was something he had also noticed before.

The sight of Cai Yu swimming through the strange ocean had indeed left an impression on him.

Unfortunately, he had no way to make use of this.

Had it been his real body, he would have been able to use Honglan to enter the palace. But the only real Magic Weapon on his clones was the Myriad Souls Banner.

Although he could summon the ghosts inside, he strongly suspected they would face a fierce resistance, perhaps damaging the weapon itself.

The souls within the banner were powerful, but that did not mean they could ignore the rules of this place.

If even his own Spiritual Energy was suppressed, there was no guarantee that the countless souls would be treated any differently.

Still, despite knowing this, Chen Xuan did not interrupt Chi Yao.

He knew her true identity. Therefore, he understood it was straight-up impossible for her to randomly bring it up.

Sure enough, after a brief pause, Chi Yao continued.

"I’ve been wondering..."

"Since other creatures can retain their racial abilities, will Visions also do the same?"

As she spoke, Chi Yao urged her own Vision, only shortly after the earlier confrontation.

A black dragon materialized behind her, surrounded by mist and ferocious lightning.

Every single part of its body was made for destruction, as though it was destined to lead all beings to the Abyss.

Black Abyss Dragon!

The name appeared in Chen Xuan’s mind, and he instantly grasped Chi Yao’s implication.

He didn’t stop her.

Under his watchful eyes, Chi Yao controlled her Vision to enter the body of water.

The moment it passed through it, her expression became solemn, ready to retract it at a moment’s notice if something went wrong.

Fortunately, her sternness soon vanished.

Joy replaced it.

The Black Abyss Dragon did not suffer at all.

Unlike Huo Ling’er, who was rendered immobile upon entering it, it retained its full power.

Perhaps because of its aquatic ancestors, an azure brilliance flickered along its body and the water around it parted.

The surrounding water seemed to recognize its existence.

Rather than suppressing it, the water naturally flowed around its enormous body, leaving a clear path in front of it.

"It works!" Chi Yao exclaimed and called the Black Abyss Dragon back.

There was a faint excitement in her eyes.

Chen Xuan did not need any further reminder.

The instant her Vision left the water, he directly took action.

His power enveloped Huo Ling’er and Xiao Lingxi, helping them move onto the dragon’s back.

Likewise, both he and Chi Yao landed on top of it with a single step.

"Keep your breath. We don’t share the same characteristic as the dragon," Chen Xuan reminded, before Chi Yao urged the legendary beast into the water.

The moment they entered the water, Chen Xuan felt an invisible force descend upon his body.

As expected, their bodies were immediately rendered immobile.

Fortunately, Chi Yao did not disappoint his expectations.

She controlled the dragon and dove deeper, its black tail swinging at its back as it wove through the waters.

The palace was not far from the edge of this strange domain.

Still, it would have taken them hours to reach it if they swam here ordinarily, if they even were able to achieve this.

Yet with the Black Abyss Dragon "leading the way", that journey took less than half a minute.

Before long, they had arrived in front of the azure palace.

Someone was already waiting for them.

Cai Yu.

With her eyes closed and her legs crossed, she circulated her cultivation technique, absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy to recover.

Although her injuries had been healed by the Guardian, she had not completely recovered.

Her foundation had been damaged during the previous battle.

Because of this, she had originally expected Chen Xuan and his disciples to take quite some time to reach this place.

She had even intended to use that period to recover as much as possible.

Yet the sudden appearance of the Black Abyss Dragon completely ruined those plans.

The moment the four arrived, her eyes opened wide.

They were fierce, as though ready to strike at the intruder.

But as she saw Chen Xuan and his disciples’ faces, and recognized them, her eyes shrank.

She couldn’t help but gasp.

"How is this possible? How could you get here so quickly?" she muttered, being the second time she had been so shocked in such a short period of time.

Cai Yu did not blame herself for acting unlike how a Soul Formation expert could.

She knew very well she could not be blamed.

It was not her own fault, but that of Chen Xuan and his disciples.

They were simply... too monstrous! She could not make sense of them!

Seeing the legendary Black Abyss Dragon, which even she had only seen in the ancient books of the Goddess’ Island, Cai Yu’s mind short-circuited.

She seemed to be doubting her own life.

Thankfully, she quickly snapped out of her stupor.

Looking at Chen Xuan and seeing him look back at her with a strange expression, Cai Yu coughed to clear her throat.

Then, pretending that there was nothing wrong, she spoke.

"I didn’t expect you would be able to get here so quickly. However, you don’t need to be proud of yourselves," she said, glancing at the Black Abyss Dragon faintly.

"It’s good to rely on some tricks every now and then. But you’ll be unable to obtain the inheritance if that is all you have..."

Cai Yu shook her head and sighed.

The cultivators of the Goddess’ Island were not forbidden from trying to inherit the Goddess’ treasures.

Exactly because of that, Cai Yu, who had also attempted in the past, knew very well that it was impossible!

Even if a reincarnated Immortal appeared here, they would be unable to do anything.

Although Chen Xuan was certainly impressive for a Mortal World cultivator, he stood no chance against that.

Thinking of this, Cai Yu’s face brightened.

She seemed to have imagined Chen Xuan’s depressed expression when he finally failed to obtain the inheritance, causing a smile to appear on her face.

’Hmph! That will show you!’ she sneered inwardly, recalling the previous humiliation she had suffered.

In her heart, she made a vow. When Chen Xuan was eventually forcefully kicked out of that place, she would appear before him and taunt him.

Although taking advantage of his weakness and killing him was certainly impossible, teaching him a lesson was a simple matter.

Before Chen Xuan could realize what had happened, Cai Yu’s way of looking at him changed.

She seemed far more gentle—save for the faint twitching of her fingers, looking as though she were ready to punch someone.
