"These days, Yunyang has thoroughly checked and pondered what exactly Su Yu has done to him, but he has been unable to find the reason."
Originally, I thought that he was only sealed and turned into a child, which seemed so simple. If that's the case, as long as he concentrates and recovers his magic during the night, adjusts his internal energy, there might be a way to break the seal inside his body.
But if the spiritual root is sealed, it would be very troublesome.
Actually, whether it is cultivating immortality or cultivating demons, in addition to effort after birth, it also depends on innate talent, aptitude, and comprehension.
Linggen is also commonly referred to as Huigen, which is the foundation of one's aptitude and comprehension. Without these two things, cultivation can become very difficult, and it becomes challenging to make breakthroughs during bottleneck periods.
In fact, as long as he leaves Xuan Yin Sect and returns to the demon clan, he has plenty of methods to restore his mana and return to his original appearance. However, how to remove the seal on his spirit root, he can't think of any other way except to find Su Yan. With this in mind, Su Yan's intentions become very clear. Since childhood, his father has praised him for his talent and high comprehension, so his father values him more than Su Yan. Su Yan might have some dissatisfaction in his heart, which is why he targeted him.
The purpose of Su Yan's Nightmare wasn't to turn him into a human, into a useless child. The real goal was to hinder his cultivation progress and make his father disappointed in this son who he had always valued.
Everyone stared at Yun Yang in silence for a while before he cautiously looked at his master and asked, "Master, is there a way to break the seal on my body?"
Although Yunyang knew that if the people from Xunyin Sect were to help him remove the seal on his body, there was a high chance of exposing his identity, but before there were no other options, he could take the risk and give it a try.
He believed that with his abilities, once the seal was lifted, he might not necessarily be unable to escape.
The head of Wuchen Sect frowned and said, "We currently don't have any."
The moment Yunyang caught a glimpse of hope, it instantly shattered.
"Don't worry, I won't turn a blind eye to your matters as your master. The master and the four elders will find a way. You're still young, there's no need to rush. First, learn the method of cultivating the heart from your eldest martial brother." Wuchen's intention behind these words was to let Yunyang follow his eldest martial brother and learn discipline. This child's habits must be properly disciplined, he cannot be allowed to do as he pleases in everything. The martial brother is too strict, so he came to complain. He doesn't take morning lessons seriously and sleeps as he pleases. Before practicing, he must be taught to be strict with himself. In fact, this is also a part of cultivation.
"Disciple understands." Although somewhat disappointed, given the current situation, he had no other choice but to remain in the Xuan Yin Sect and assess the situation. After speculating on Su Yan's motives, he felt it would be safer to stay in the Xuan Yin Sect for now.
He suddenly remembered something and said, "Master, can I change rooms? I want to sleep alone."
Thinking back to the situation of the past two nights, Yun Yang felt that it was very dangerous to sleep next to Senior Brother every night. If one night he slept too deeply and Senior Brother discovered the secret on his body, he wouldn't have to go back to the demon clan to deal with Su Yan for him. The people of the Mystical Sound Sect would kill him first.
When Yun Yang uttered these words, the Sect Master Wu Chen did not inquire about the reason behind it. Instead, his gaze shifted towards Yun Lin. He assumed that it was once again the case of the elder disciple being too indifferent towards the younger disciple, causing the latter to be unable to bear it.
Yun Lin remained silent, introspecting within himself. Throughout the day, he had shown a much improved attitude towards Yun Yang. Could it be that he was expected to always comply with this child's wishes?
Seeing that his master had misunderstood, Yun Yang hurriedly explained, "Master, this matter has nothing to do with Senior Brother. It's just that I felt cramped sleeping with Senior Brother, and he also needs peace and quiet to cultivate his luck. I was afraid I would disturb him. I noticed that there's a spare room next to Senior Brother's. If you're worried, I can sleep there instead, and Senior Brother can still take care of me."
Yunyang didn't want his master to misunderstand his relationship with his senior martial brother. It was Yunyang who requested to change rooms, otherwise he would truly be unable to separate from his senior martial brother.
