"Yuqiao, Yuqiao!"

Chen Hao called out Ye Yuqiao's name in his heart, even though his body was in a deep coma at the moment, his Yin Soul remained conscious. However, because the Nether King's Heart on his left eye was sealed, Ye Yuqiao could not receive the silent message in his heart.

"What should I do now?" Chen Hao felt very anxious. For the first time, he realized that without the Nether King's Heart, he was practically useless.

"Yuqiao, why didn't you hide in the Nether Acupoint?" Chen Hao asked Ye Yuqiao. In his view, Ye Yuqiao, who was holding him, was in danger—Nirvana, who harbored feelings of love for her, could snatch her away at any moment.

Suddenly, Chen Hao realized something was amiss: where had Nirvana gone?

Recalling that Ye Yuqiao had said Tang Jing was busy unsealing him, Chen Hao shuddered and immediately thought that Xie Xiaofeng might have gone to entangle Nirvana, thus buying Tang Jing more time. But how could Xie Xiaofeng possibly stand up to Nirvana? It was too dangerous!

With that thought, Chen Hao became frantic with worry, concerned that Xie Xiaofeng might die at the hands of Nirvana.

After a bout of anxious fretting, just when Chen Hao was at his wit's end, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Humph!" It was a mocking laugh.

Hearing this voice, Chen Hao suddenly remembered that there was always a mystical figure in his mind. Although he didn't like this figure, in this critical moment, he had no choice but to seek advice.

"You should already be aware of the situation I'm currently facing, right? Do you have any good ideas?" Chen Hao silently inquired.

"Hmm!" The mystical figure agreed, and then his shadowy figure appeared within Chen Hao's consciousness.

Looking at this shadow, Chen Hao couldn't help but speculate about its identity.

"Do you feel that without the Nether King's Heart you're as good as waste?"

Chen Hao couldn't refute the shadow figure's cutting remark and responded coldly with a "Hmm,"

"Although the Spiritual Power of the Nether King's Heart is indeed very strong, and your focus on cultivating the Yin Qi Spiritual Power from it is not without reason, you must not forget that you are an Onmyoji, and furthermore, a prodigy from the Chen Family that emerges only once every three hundred years. Don't waste the talent you were born with. And remember, you are going to take down that group of Onmyoji from the national association, and they all are Onmyoji with profound Mana, almost every one of them knowing a spell or two that can seal the Nether King's Heart!" chastised the shadow figure.

Chen Hao was left speechless, feeling that the shadow figure's analysis made a lot of sense. Just like the current situation, with the Nether King's Heart on his left eye sealed, he was at a loss for what to do.

"So what should I do now?" Chen Hao asked after pondering for a while.

"First and foremost, the most important thing is that you must learn how to break the seals. If you encounter a similar situation in the future, you will be able to use spells to directly remove the seals!" the shadow figure stated.

"Hmm, makes sense!" Chen Hao agreed.

"Next, you need to add several more layers of seals and counterspells on the Nether King's Heart, in doing so..."

"What is a counterspell?" Chen Hao interrupted before the shadow figure could finish.

A sigh of disappointment escaped the shadow figure, who then muttered, "You don't even know what a counterspell is, and you dare to call yourself a genius Onmyoji. At the end of the first section on spirit communication in the 'Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism,' there are twelve talismans, one of which is the Counterspell Talisman, which is what I mean by counterspell. The runes on the Counterspell Talisman are the basic runes for the counterspell, and by adding some of your secret spell words to these basic runes, you create your counterspell. The counterspell can ward off any seal except the one it is supposed to counter!"

"Oh, I understand now!" Chen Hao had an epiphany, "I need to add several layers of seals and counterspells on my left eye so that I can provide extra protection to the Nether King's Heart and prevent it from being sealed by others!"

Speaking of which, Chen Hao's demeanor suddenly changed as he complained, "Why are you only telling me this now? Is this information even useful to me at this point?"

"Don't rush!"

"How can I not be anxious? My friend is about to be killed by that monster, and my girlfriend might also be taken away by the beast!"

"Rest assured, they should both be fine," the shadow figure reassured, "Your biggest problem is that you underestimate the true strength of those around you. Whether it's Tang Jing or Xie Xiaofeng, their true strength is far beyond your imagination. Often, some opponents are better dealt with by them than by you, like the recent Cyclops Demon King, who Xie Xiaofeng could have handled easily. Don't let them become dependent on you, that would only harm them and prevent them from striving to improve!"

Reminded by the shadow figure's words and recalling the past struggle against the Cyclops Demon King, Chen Hao couldn't help but let out a curse. Ever since he started dating Ye Yuqiao, she explicitly forbade him from swearing.

"Ah!" The shadow figure sighed helplessly and then continued, "As for your girlfriend, you have even less to worry about. She still has the Stealth Stone on her, and besides, aren't you by her side?"

"Me?" Chen Hao sneered contemptuously, "Big sister, aren't you well aware of my current situation? As I am now, not to mention protecting her, it would be good enough if I don't drag her down."

The shadowy figure snickered coldly and then said, "Now it's time to talk about your second flaw: you're underestimating the Yang Energy within you. In other words, you have no clue how to fully utilize the Yang Energy you possess. You've cultivated the 'Return to Yang Spell' up to Chapter Thirty, but you can only harness the power up to Chapter Fifteen."

Chen Hao was dumbfounded, completely unable to grasp the shadowy figure's meaning.

"How do you resemble a genius at all? You're more like a blockhead!" the shadowy figure scolded, a tone of utter exasperation in their voice. "The 'Return to Yang Spell' is about absorbing the Yang Energy between heaven and earth into your body to use for yourself, and the more chapters you cultivate, the more Yang Energy your body can absorb. The Yang Energy of heaven and earth is inexhaustible, yet every time, you wait until you've exhausted your Yang Energy before absorbing more, which is why you can't bring out the power of the thirty chapters you've cultivated. You need to learn to absorb Yang Energy from heaven and earth while depleting it, keeping your body's Yang Energy in a perpetually full state."

"Oh, right!" After hearing the shadowy figure's words, Chen Hao had an epiphany.

"If that monster comes later, you can certainly use the Six Character Seal to protect both you and your girlfriend, and then continuously infuse the seal with Yang Energy. Even if the monster is the fiercest, it would need half a day to break the seal, and by that time, Tang Jing will have certainly removed the seal on your Nether King's Heart. The priority right now is for you to properly feel the Yang Energy within you, then feel your deeply wounded body, and finally, through your flesh, feel the heaven and earth around you. If you can feel that your flesh can merge with heaven and earth, that means you can keep your body's Yang Energy in a perpetual state of fullness."

"Got it! I understand now!"

"I'm going into retreat now, if there's anything in the future, you can come find me anytime, that is if I am willing to pay attention to you," the shadowy figure said.

"Wait a second!" Chen Hao quickly tried to keep the figure from leaving, "May I ask you a personal question?"

"You're not going to ask me who I am, are you? I've said before, when the time comes, I naturally..."

"That's not what I'm asking!" Chen Hao quickly interrupted the shadowy figure, "I want to know, between us, who is more handsome?"

"We're both pretty handsome! But the charm in my appearance comes more from cultivation and temperament, while yours is based on self-confidence and narcissism. One last reminder, take a closer look at the 'Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism.' The latter contents might be of use to you in the future."

With that, the shadowy figure disappeared from Chen Hao's consciousness.

"Could he be one of my ancestors, knowing the latter contents of the 'Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism'?" Chen Hao was extremely surprised, "No, that's not right, even if he were my ancestor, I would still want to kill him for peeking at Yuqiao and I during our cultivation! Who on earth is he?"

Afterward, Chen Hao began to feel the Yang Energy inside his body and sense his flesh as the shadowy person had instructed him to...

Meanwhile, on the grassy shoreline of Xiluo Lake.

What was once tender green grass had become scorched earth littered with lava, resembling Purgatory. Thick smoke billowed into the night sky, showing a ferocious, beast-like face with each flash of lava below.

All this was caused by Xie Xiaofeng using the forbidden technique of Yin and Yang Five Elements.

"Come out! Come out now!" Nirvana, floating in the air, looked around below while roaring in anger. His hair was disheveled, his clothes bearing multiple scorched marks and stab wounds, and a tuft of inextinguishable flames burned on his tail.

All this too, was thanks to Xie Xiaofeng. With his stealthy attacks, he had landed several blows on Nirvana using the Yin and Yang Five Elements Transformation technique when Nirvana least expected them.

For a while, seeing no movement in the surroundings, Nirvana said, "I'm going to find the Fairy!"

With that, Nirvana flew toward the forest where Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao were located.

Just then, he heard something—beneath him, a patch of lava suddenly surged. In an instant, he moved above the lava, his eyes emitting a terrifying force that pierced right through the lava and the soil underneath.

"Ugh!" A painful scream from Xie Xiaofeng immediately followed in the surroundings.

"Could the lava be his transformation?" Nirvana speculated.

"Of course not!" At that moment, Xie Xiaofeng's voice suddenly came from behind Nirvana.

Nirvana quickly turned, but saw no trace of Xie Xiaofeng, only a wisp of steam that also carried Xie Xiaofeng's scent.

"This time I must be right!" Nirvana declared, confident his keen nose could locate Xie Xiaofeng as long as he wasn't hiding underground.

Before his voice faded, a green fire burst from Nirvana's mouth, hurtling toward the steam not far behind him.

"You're still wrong! I'm behind you!"
