"How could you and he look exactly alike!" the Second Generation Nether King said in disbelief, never having expected to see two Chen Haos standing before him.
"Guess." The Black Shadow Person sneered.
The Second Generation Nether King's eyebrows furrowed, dismissively saying, "That night, it was you who sensed me using the Nether King's Heart, wasn't it?"
"It was him, not me!" The Black Shadow Person pointed at the Chen Hao before him and said.
The Second Generation Nether King huffed, thinking to himself what's the difference between you two?
After a pause, the Second Generation Nether King said, "So all this time you have been hiding inside the Nether Acupoint secretly cultivating."
"Are you very afraid that we have been acting in secret already?" The Black Shadow Person asked with a laugh. "However, I do have to thank you. If it hadn't been for your help in waking the Nether King's Heart just now, Chen Hao's Yin Soul probably wouldn't have been able to return."
The Second Generation Nether King was somewhat irritated and said, "I know what you two are planning to do, but I advise you to give it up as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the time comes, I will show no mercy, even if you are my own granddaughter!"
"Since we've already made up our minds, of course we won't turn back. As for you, we have long listed you among our enemies."
"I've always had a question in my heart, why did you abandon the original Nether King's Heart and take over the other half of the Nether King's Heart inside the ancient city? Also, shortly after your coronation, you sent seventeen guards to the mortal world, and even bestowed upon each of them the Hand of Death, surely not just to clean up the myriad ghosts that escaped there."
"When you find the ancient city, I'll tell you then," the Second Generation Nether King said with narrowed eyes. "But, I'm guessing you won't have the chance to know."
"Whether I have the chance or not isn't for you to decide, we shall see!"
The Second Generation Nether King's eyes suddenly widened, filled with rage and a thirst for blood.
Then, everything in front of him went dark, he had vanished, and the crack that had opened on the Barrier wall of the Nether Acupoint had also healed.
The Black Shadow Person breathed a sigh of relief, his frantic heartbeat gradually subsiding. He sat down cross-legged again on the ground, regulating the Yang Energy within Chen Hao which was rapidly surging.
After a while, Chen Hao coughed twice, he had successfully cultivated the Return to Yang Spell to the forty-ninth chapter.
Knowing that Chen Hao was about to wake up, the Black Shadow Person immediately entered Chen Hao's right eye. If Chen Hao saw him come out, he would definitely have demanded to see his true face.
At that time, there would inevitably be many things to explain, even some that he himself didn't understand. So the best way to avoid all this was to prevent Chen Hao from seeing his true face.
Not long after the Black Shadow Person returned inside Chen Hao, Chen Hao woke up.
"Hey, Little Black, have I really cultivated to the forty-ninth chapter?" Chen Hao asked, sounding very tired and weak.
"Is Little Black me?" The Black Shadow Person replied with a tinge of bitterness in his voice, thinking I am being taken for granted.
"If it's not you, who else can it be?"
"Have you been influenced by Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body? What's with this 'Little Nether, Little Black'?" The Black Shadow Person said disdainfully.
"Yes, you have indeed cultivated to the forty-ninth chapter, but all this success is thanks to one person."
Chen Hao smiled weakly, his face pale: "Are you trying to take credit for yourself?"
"It wasn't me." The Black Shadow Person said, "It was the Second Generation Nether King!"
Chen Hao was taken aback and found himself at a loss for words.
Next, the shadowy figure recounted to Chen Hao how the Second Generation Nether King had mistakenly awakened the Nether King's Heart.
After listening, Chen Hao showed a bittersweet smile, "It seems I really do need to thank him. He must be feeling quite upset after knowing this."
"That's for sure. When I told him, although he didn't look too convinced, his face had already turned green."
Chen Hao laughed, then his expression suddenly turned serious, "Now that he is aware of our plan, he will definitely send people to stop us. It looks like we need to act sooner rather than later. I've already cultivated to the forty-ninth chapter, with only the final chapter left."
"The last chapter is not difficult," the shadowy figure said, "According to the principle that Yin Qi and Yang Energy give birth to and overcome each other, one can only break through to the fiftieth chapter when the Yin Qi and Yang Energy within the body are balanced. For an ordinary Onmyoji, it would take ten years of using the technique of Yin and Yang energy transformation to enhance the Yin Qi. But your situation is different, I won't say much, in short, this is not a problem for you at all."
"Although you have now cultivated the forty-ninth chapter, the Nether Acupoint lacks Yang Energy after all, and the amount of Yang Energy you have absorbed into your body is still very small. Once you go out later, the Yang Energy in your body will surge suddenly, and you need to be prepared to stabilize it in time. In the next two days, as long as you coordinate the Mana and Spiritual Power within your body well, you will naturally complete the fiftieth chapter."
"Okay!" Chen Hao agreed with a shout and then slowly rose to his feet, "Once I have cultivated the fiftieth chapter, we will begin our action."
"By the way, I might not appear for a very long time from now on. The Spell to seal the Gate of the Nether King and other related spells are all in the Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism, which you can refer to when the time comes. With your ability, you should know how to use those spells in combination."
"Where are you going?" Chen Hao asked.
"I need to rest! I am a bit tired," the shadowy figure's voice suddenly weakened, "You must save Yuqiao! Remember, I will appear when it's necessary."
..
..
Early in the morning.
Chen Hao left the Nether Acupoint and returned to his home in the mortal world.
Meanwhile, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body had been sitting on the sofa waiting for a long time.
"Chen Hao, you're finally back!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body immediately flung herself into Chen Hao's arms. The last time she saw Chen Hao was half a month ago, an exceedingly long time for her.
"Little Nether, you knew I would exit the retreat."
"Of course, when I'm alone at night, I can't sleep, so I look at you through the Nether King's Heart."
"Then do you know that the Second Generation Nether King has appeared in the Nether Acupoint?"
"What!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was greatly surprised, then shook her head, "I don't know, I only started to sense the Nether King's Heart not long ago."
Chen Hao was just about to speak about the matters following the Second Generation Nether King's appearance when suddenly, he felt dizzy, as if the world was spinning around him.
"Chen Hao!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body quickly held Chen Hao tight and then helped him sit down on the sofa.
"Chen Hao, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing! The Yang Energy inside me is surging, and I'm having some difficulty coping," Chen Hao spoke slowly and weakly.
After that, he sat cross-legged on the sofa, closed his eyes, and began to drive the Spiritual Power from the heart of the Nether King as the shadowy figure had described, to coordinate and stabilize the Yang Energy.
He could distinctly feel more and more Yang Energy flooding into his body from all around, like a thousand layers of giant waves.
Watching Chen Hao's face shift from red to white and then slowly stabilize, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body did not speak again so as not to disturb him, and instead sat quietly beside Chen Hao, keeping him company.
