Chapter 1300 Illusion
Without the obstruction of the black mist, the thin black threads easily burrowed into Situ Qingcang's body.
The next instant triggered a violent reaction.
Situ Qingcang's body trembled uncontrollably, accompanied by the ear-piercing clanging of chains echoing in the confined space.
Jiang Xiaochuan sat upright with his eyes closed, seemingly focused on guiding the output of Yin energy, but in reality, he placed all his senses on Situ Qingcang.
He could clearly feel that the Yin energy he was outputting was being refined by the other party with great difficulty.
The chaotic aura emanating from Situ Qingcang seemed to be slowly but surely approaching a fragile calm.
However, as time went on, Jiang Xiaochuan keenly sensed that the speed at which Situ Qingcang was absorbing the Yin energy in his body was unnaturally accelerating!
This is no longer guidance, but has become a kind of pulling with a certain attraction.
More importantly, thanks to his precise perception of the flow of Yin energy, Jiang Xiaochuan was on high alert.
The amount of Yin energy absorbed by Situ Qingcang has exceeded what is needed to temporarily balance the Yang toxins in his body.
According to common sense, the harmony of Yin and Yang lies in balance.
Although Situ Qingcang's body was full of yang energy at this moment, yin energy, as an external energy, was not necessarily better the more it was.
An excessive influx of Yin energy will not only be of no benefit until it is completely refined and integrated with one's own origin.
Instead, it will become a new burden, and may even backfire, leading to an excess of yin energy.
Going to the other extreme, yin prevails over yang!
Even if he's eager to achieve quick results and wants to suppress the Yang poison in one fell swoop, he must first thoroughly digest the Yin energy he has already absorbed, allowing it to stabilize within his body and form a new balance before he can continue absorbing...
How could a Nirvana Realm expert who has lived for hundreds of years not understand this principle?
Jiang Xiaochuan's mind raced.
He felt more and more clearly that Situ Qingcang's behavior at this moment had deviated from the scope of treatment and was more like a reckless plunder.
But what good does such frantic demand do for him?
Ultimately, the balance of Yin and Yang is disrupted again, and it may even be worse than before...
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying thought entered Jiang Xiaochuan's mind, sending a chill down his spine!
Unless... his goal is not simply about yin and yang balance at all!
His body is special; it can not only contain pure Yin energy, but is also a rare pure Yang body.
If Situ Qingcang deliberately made his Yin energy excessive, and then in turn devoured his pure Yang energy, thus achieving an extreme Yin-Yang balance?
This method was too dangerous; the slightest mistake could cause his body to explode. He couldn't figure out exactly how to do it.
Situ Qingcang, who has lived for hundreds of years, may well have mastered this forbidden technique.
Then, considering that the core of the Profound Yin Gathering Spirit Array where he was located was only a small part of the complex array within the stone chamber!
What exactly are those other dim, inactive areas hiding?
Furthermore, Situ Qingcang's decision just now almost destroyed the foundation of his family.
Was it out of affection, or was it because, in his insane plan, a muddle-headed and incompetent head of the family was more in line with some need?
Or perhaps, Situ Hong himself is a pawn in this grand scheme, or even... a backup plan?
The more Jiang Xiaochuan thought about it, the more he felt a chilling aura of conspiracy enveloping him.
This seemingly bold and straightforward old monster, who is actually cunning and unpredictable, probably had no good intentions from the very beginning.
The so-called promises of allies may just be a way to keep him in check and get him to willingly take the first step into this trap!
"You old scoundrel, if you're ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust!"
Regardless of whether his guess was correct or not, Jiang Xiaochuan had decided to retaliate.
Only by grasping the other party's lifeline can you make them hesitate to act rashly.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiaochuan stopped deliberately controlling the loss of Yin energy and instead actively guided the Yin energy in his dantian to slowly overflow.
His control over his own Yin energy was already superb. Even when he was drawn by the light of the formation, he could firmly grasp the flow of Yin energy just before it slipped out of his control.
The light once again enveloped all the Yin energy overflowing from Jiang Xiaochuan, dragging it into Situ Qingcang's body.
From the outside, Jiang Xiaochuan was completely controlled by the light and could only passively allow his yin energy to be extracted.
In reality, every wisp of Yin energy that overflowed was under Jiang Xiaochuan's secret manipulation, always hovering on the edge of Situ Qingcang's control.
"Okay!"
Feeling the continuous influx of Yin energy, Situ Qingcang's gaunt face lit up with ecstatic joy.
He was completely immersed in the pleasure of absorbing Yin energy, frantically devouring it while desperately circulating his cultivation technique to refine it.
They were completely unaware that there was something fishy hidden within this yin energy.
The moment it was absorbed into his body, each wisp of yin energy was mixed with a nearly invisible stream of cold yin energy.
This wisp of air was too weak, and with Situ Qingcang completely focused on refining the Yin energy, he couldn't detect it at all.
Jiang Xiaochuan observed his reaction, secretly sneering to himself, and then generously guided out more Yin energy.
Under the cover of the surging Yin energy, several more wisps of equally subtle Yin-cold energy mixed in, flowing along the main Yin energy into Situ Qingcang's body and silently lurking deep within his heart meridian.
After carrying out these two extremely covert tactical maneuvers, Jiang Xiaochuan felt his mental energy was greatly depleted.
This kind of precise control was far more energy-consuming than he had anticipated.
He knew he couldn't continue, otherwise his unusual behavior might be detected by the other party's seasoned perception.
Just as Situ Qingcang greedily absorbed another large amount of Yin energy, his face contorted with a mixture of pain and satisfaction.
"Uh!"
Jiang Xiaochuan, who was sitting cross-legged at the center of the formation, suddenly let out a suppressed cry of pain.
He lunged forward, bracing himself with one hand on the ground while pressing his other hand firmly against his lower abdomen, his face turning deathly pale at a visible speed.
"what happened?"
Situ Qingcang's voice came immediately, carrying a hint of displeasure at being interrupted.
Jiang Xiaochuan didn't answer immediately, but instead took a few quick breaths.
At the same time, it cut off the output of its own yin energy without hesitation.
The array's light suddenly dimmed, and the thin black Yin energy thread connecting the two instantly snapped.
"Senior...senior..."
Jiang Xiaochuan's voice was weak, "My dantian... suddenly hurts terribly! It feels... it feels like the yin energy inside is out of control... about to explode!"
Upon hearing this, Situ Qingcang's expression changed almost imperceptibly.
He could sense that Jiang Xiaochuan's breathing was disordered and his pained appearance was genuine.
All of this perfectly matches the typical symptoms of a martial artist suffering a backlash from their dantian, and based on his hundreds of years of experience, there is no flaw in it.
Little did he know that the seemingly chaotic energy within Jiang Xiaochuan's body was actually a simulated illusion created under precise control.
