"Young Master, run..."

The heart-wrenching sound of the last guard falling down continued to roll in Yun Yi's mind.

In the dark night, it was raining heavily!

The climate in the valley was very cold!

A cloud of ice-cold blood.

In ten days, from the imperial capital to this nameless valley, the thirty-six guards collapsed one by one.

Yun Yi dragged his exhausted body forward. The heavy rain was a little painful on his body, but Yun Yi was already numb.

One step at a time, one step at a time. His feet were covered in mud.

He no longer had any strength left. Yun Yi did not know why he had not fallen. Perhaps it was because of the monstrous hatred, or perhaps it was because of the thirty-six guards who had fallen.

"There's still an hour left. In another hour, I'll be sixteen."

Yun Yi muttered to himself. His sixteen years old was of great significance. He just did not expect that he would spend his sixteen-year-old birthday here.

However, the pursuers behind Yun Yi would not give him an hour. He had to find a place to hide in this nameless valley.

Yun Yi took a deep breath and continued to move forward. He walked about a hundred steps, and his muscles were exhausted. He could not walk at all. He simply leaned against the stone wall and prepared to observe the terrain of the valley.

Creak!

When Yun Yi leaned against it, the stone wall on his back immediately emitted a creaking sound. Although the sound was very weak under the violent rain, it was still clearly heard by Yun Yi.

Yun Yi turned around and found that there were many tiny cracks on the stone wall behind him. They were piled up with stones.

Yun Yi pressed down on the stone wall with both hands and pushed it down with all his strength. With a loud bang, the stone was directly pushed away, and there was an incomparably dark cave behind it.

"God is helping me."

Yun Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly entered the cave. The cave wasn't big, but it was big enough for him.

Looking at the torrential rain outside, thinking about what had happened to the Yun Family, the lives of the thirty-six guards, and the soldiers who had immediately arrived, Yun Yi gained strength from god knows where. He picked up those stones with great difficulty, piled them up according to his original appearance, and completely sealed himself in this cave.

Soon, a dozen or so figures appeared in the valley. Their auras were thick, and their steps were like they were flying. All of them were at the fifth or sixth level of the Spirit Transformation stage, and one of them had reached the seventh level of the Spirit Transformation stage.

"Captain, that kid must be hiding in this valley."

One of them said.

"Search. The duke has ordered that we must capture Yun Yi and bring him back to the capital. We must behead him along with the Yun Family."

The captain said mercilessly.

"Yes, Captain. Everyone, listen up. Search for me."

More than a dozen masters began to search the valley. They were agile and vigorous. Even in the heavy rain, they were still unable to affect them at all.

Yun Yi hid in the cave, not daring to make the slightest sound. He looked outside through the crack in the rock. The captain's words were heard by him word by word, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Yun Yi couldn't figure it out. The Yun Mansion, which supported half of the country of Chu, the Yun Mansion, which had been loyal and upright for generations, had produced three Yun Mansion, which was famous as the Marshal of Qizhou. How could it end up like this today?

Ten years ago, the Commander-in-Chief of the Vast Sea, Yun Canghai, dominated the North Desert, frightening the enemy. However, he suffered from a sudden illness and crippled both of his legs. He could only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. That was Yun Yi's grandfather.

Five years ago, the Flying Tiger Commander, Yun Feiyue, stirred up the wind and clouds in the North Desert with a flying tiger war knife. In the battle on the Great Dragon Cliff, he unexpectedly died. It was Uncle Yunyi.

Later, Yun Feilong, who was known as the genius on the first day of Chu Country, appeared out of thin air and fought against the North Desert. In just a month, he established the peerless prestige of the commander-in-chief of the Yun Family. He was Yun Yi's father, the pride of the Yun Mansion, and the pride of the whole Chu Country.

Ten days ago, the Emperor summoned Yun Feilong back with an imperial edict. After Yun Feilong and the enemy marshal drank a cup of wine, they charged with treason and collusion with the enemy and imprisoned him in the Celestial Prison.

That night, the imperial guards launched a surprise attack on the Yun's Manor. They captured anyone who saw them and executed them on the spot after a little resistance. Yun Canghai noticed that the situation was serious. In order to protect the last trace of the Yun family's bloodline, he ordered the thirty-six guards of the Yun's Manor to use a secret passage to escort Yun Yi out of the capital.

Until now, Yun Yi did not know what kind of situation his grandfather was in. Whether he lived or died, he only turned around and saw the raging flames above the Cloud Mansion when he escaped from the capital.

The third generation of the Yun Mansion was loyal, but it ended with such a tragic ending. How sad it was!

Miserable! Miserable! Miserable!

Yun Yi roared in his heart. His eyes were red, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Captain, it's still not found. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. I can't see many places clearly. It's very difficult to search."

A man's voice came from outside.

"Keep searching. That guy is just a good-for-nothing who can't open his spirit. I don't blame him for not being able to escape."

The captain said in a cold voice.

A good-for-nothing who can't awaken his spirit?

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Yun Yi's mouth.

Spirit Continent was the master of spirit cultivation. When an ordinary person was ten years old, they would be able to open spirit bodies and be called spirit realm practitioners. If they hadn't opened spirit when they were ten years old, then there was no hope for them to open spirit in this life.

For someone like Yun Yi, who hadn't awakened his spirit at the age of sixteen, he was destined to remain mediocre for the rest of his life and wouldn't be able to become a spirit cultivator.

In the past 16 years, Yun Yi had always been known as the greatest good-for-nothing in the imperial capital. His father and son had also become a good story for him.

But no one knew that it was two different concepts to be unable to be enlightened. Yun Yi was unable to be enlightened because he had never tried to be one in the past.

According to the ancient book, the sixteen-year-old body of the Natural Taoist Figure opened on its own.

That's right. Yun Yi was an unprecedented Natural Taoist Figure. Except for himself, only three people in the Yun Mansion knew this secret.

"Soon, I'll be sixteen."

Yun Yi gritted his teeth. He could already feel that his sixteen-year-old dantian had begun to move. His innate Dao body was about to open.

His dao body was activated, unmatched under the heavens!

This was recorded in an ancient book. However, due to the fact that the Innate Dao Body had never appeared, Yun Yi did not know what would happen after he opened the Dao Body.

The torrential rain was getting heavier and heavier. It seemed that the heavens were helping Yun Yi. After all, under such heavy rain, it brought great difficulty to search for those men in black.

Time ticked by. Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound could be heard from within Yun Yi's body.

If it hadn't been for the torrential rain, even in this cave, the crisp sound would have been noticed by the people outside.

"It's been 16 years. The Natural Taoist Figure is finally about to open. Grandpa, Dad, wait for me."

Yun Yi's eyes began to glow with a strange light. At this moment, he was not as excited as he had imagined, because his heart and blood were already cold.

Yun Yi had dreamed of many scenes of opening his Taoist Figure. The scene of the Yun Mansion being decorated with lanterns and colorful flowers, the scene of countless high-ranking officials and aristocrats coming to congratulate him, and the scene of him removing the tiger father and dog son's hat.

Only today's scene was beyond his wildest dreams.

But it didn't matter at all. The ten days of pursuit and escape had already changed the young master's mind greatly.

Buzz buzz...

Yun Yi's dantian started to stir restlessly. Yun Yi took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down. He knew that the most crucial moment had arrived.

Yun Yi's Dantian was quickly opened up. In his illusory Dantian, a white jade-like lotus platform appeared.

The lotus platform emitted an incomparably sacred aura, causing Yun Yi's dantian to appear as though heaven and earth had just opened. The sacred air current surged and seeped into Yun Yi's limbs and bones, causing all of Yun Yi's fatigue to disappear without a trace. His entire body was filled with energy.

The moment the lotus platform appeared, a stream of information poured into Yun Yi's mind like a tide.

Heaven and earth contained the natural luck, the Lotus Pond of Fate.

Nine lotus flowers on the lotus platform, one first-level heaven.

These were the four sentences that contained the Innate Great Way. Yun Yi saw that on the pure white lotus platform, four similarly sacred words "Nine Lotus Platform" appeared.

From the information, Yun Yi learned that the nine lotus platforms were the foundation of the Natural Taoist Figure, representing nine Great Ways between heaven and earth.

There were nine holes on the lotus platform. According to the information, as his cultivation kept changing, there would be nine lotuses growing on the lotus platform. Each lotus represented a different kind of spirit body.

Yun Yi couldn't help but become excited.

One must know that a spirit body is determined by one's physique. There are many attributes of a spirit body, such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, darkness, stars, evil, kindness, etc...

A normal spirit cultivator could only possess one type of spirit body. In the spirit world, those who possessed two types of spirit bodies were the geniuses amongst geniuses. If someone could possess three types of spirit bodies, then they would be an unparalleled and incomparable existence.

On the other hand, Yun Yi's innate Dao body was actually able to give him nine spirit bodies. This was simply crazy.

Although the nine Spiritual Bodies were not created at the same time, this kind of unmatched potential was already invincible.

When a Taoist body was opened, it would be invincible in the world. It seemed that this sentence was definitely not as simple as it sounded.

It was hard to imagine what kind of height Yun Yi would reach if all nine of his spirit bodies were opened.

And if this kind of terrible constitution was spread out, it would cause a great storm.

Buzz buzz...

The lotus platform moved, and the energy on it was constantly surging. A hole on the lotus platform began to flash with black light.

Yun Yi held his breath. He knew that the first lotus was about to grow. He was going to have a first Spiritual Body, a Innate Spirit Body.

The black-colored glow became increasingly dense. It drifted and spread over the lotus platform. A dense dark energy was emitted from within this glow. It was frighteningly dark.

Soon after, a black lotus grew out. The black lotus was filled with a dense dark aura, causing one to feel as though one had fallen into hell.

The moment the black lotus grew, another piece of information appeared in Yun Yi's mind.

"Dark Spiritual Body, it can absorb all the dark forces between heaven and earth for its own use and become the King of Darkness..."

As soon as the Darkness Body was activated, violent dark energy poured into Yun Yi's limbs and bones from the black lotus, pouring into his internal organs. Yun Yi's cultivation began to rise wildly under the impact of these energy.

The first level spirit realm.

Rank 2 spirit realm.

Third level spirit realm.

...

The black lotus carried the most primitive dark energy. It was the source of darkness. There was not much energy on it, but the benefits it brought to Yun Yi were unimaginable.

Under the impact of the black lotus, Yun Yi's level of training had finally risen to the peak of the fifth level spirit realm. Even if he was only a step away from the sixth level spirit realm.

During these sixteen years, Yun Yi had not awakened his spirit, but he had not been idle either. He had trained his physical body to the point where it was almost perfect, so he was able to withstand the impact of the dark energy.

At this moment, after his cultivation had reached the peak of the fifth level spirit realm, his body had become even more abnormal under the impact of the dark energy.

Not only that, Yun Yi's entire aura had undergone a drastic change. It was cold and tyrannical, as if he was a king walking in the darkness.

Yun Yi knew that the reason why he was the first to create the Darkness Body was related to his current state of mind. Hatred and unwillingness filled his heart as he poured into the lotus platform. The black lotus was naturally the first to grow.

"Captain, there's a cave here. Something's going on inside. That guy must be inside."

Just then, a voice came from outside.

The torrential rain had stopped at some point in time. The people outside had finally found the cave where Yun Yi was hiding.

Peng!

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone that blocked the entrance of the cave was kicked away by a very savage foot, and two figures appeared at the entrance of the cave.
