This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder Chapter 52

When Tianyi returned to the immortal boat, he didn't say anything and a gloomy air condensed on the boat. He didn't say anything to Bai Tiezi or Feng'er and instead brought out an immortal flower wine. For the next day, he kept pouring cup after cup.

Bai Teizi wanted to go forward but was pulled back by Feng'er who shook her head at him. He looked back at Tianyi who was covered by an unapproachable air. Tianyi's immortal boat only had a single bedroom, but that was his for his own use so Bai Tiezi and Feng'er stayed on the deck, hugging each other while waiting for Tianyi to speak to them.

The next Tianyi smiled at Bai Tiezi. “My apologies, the Bliss Earth Sect caused me to remember some unpleasant memories so my mood wasn't quite right.”

Bai Tiezi cupped his fist. “Senior is polite, junior still owes senior after all this. Dare I ask what sins did the Bliss Earth Sect commit?”

Tianyi secretly glanced at Feng'er before shaking his head. “It will do you no good for you to know. Perhaps you might even be affected by it. In the future, perhaps you will know.” Tianyi said. “But the main matters I brought you onto the boat concerns the legacy of an immortal.”

“Immortal's legacy?” Bai Tiezi spoke those words softly, and he recalled the token he had given Tianyi. “Senior, that token was the key to an immortal's legacy?” There was a slight excitement in his voice.

Tianyi nodded.

“Indeed, I feel that the legacy is especially suited towards you.” Tianyi said.

Bai Tiezi's eyes brightened as a thought occurred to him and his breathing quickened.

“Senior do you mean…”

Tianyi nodded. “Indeed, I want to pass on the legacy to you.”

Bai Tiezi cupped his fists towards Tianyi. “Then I won't be polite. In the future I will definitely repay this grace!”

He didn't try to decline the offer, even if he had to accrue more debt towards Tianyi. That was how important an immortal's legacy was. Bai Tiezi didn't have the confidence to pass whatever test the immortal left, for him to receive it through Tianyi was something he had never imagined in his wildest dreams.

Like before, Tianyi directly sent the technique using a strand of his spiritual sense into Bai Tiezi's forehead. And just like before Bai Tiezi sunk into a daze as his mind tried to comprehend the technique.

Tianyi glanced at Feng'er for a moment before returning to his seat. Speaking of connections, he didn't really have much with the girl. There was nothing outstanding about her that he would notice either. Tianyi returned to his seat and piloted the immortal boat, while Feng'er stayed by Bai Tiezi's side and took care of him.

When Bai Tiezi broke out of his stupor. He released a sigh of admiration at the techniques. Spring Autumn Scripture, just the first few chapters caused him to have a headache. At a glance, it was obviously superior to the cultivation technique that Tianyi had given him.

What caused Bai Tiezi to be more excited about was the Worldly Ubiquitous Spear Art. Compared to the esotericism of the Spring Autumn Scripture he comprehended the Worldly Ubiquitous Spear Art far more and gained much from it.

It was only at this moment that Bai Tiezi realized that he was no longer on the boat. He looked around to see that he was in a wilderness and the only structure that was near him was a crudely built wooden house. Bai Tiezi's keen senses alerted him to another presence. Once he saw who it was, he allowed himself to relax.

“Feng'er, senior has…” Bai Tiezi wanted nothing more to thanks Tianyi's grace and sing praises of his magnanimity. He even had an urge to compose a poem about the mysterious senior's kindness!

“Senior has already left.” Feng'er said, happy that Bai Tiezi had woken up.

Tianyi had dropped the two off in the wilderness after confirming it was safe. Other than helping Feng'er build the wooden house, he left a message for Bai Tiezi before leaving.

“Senior left a message for you.” Bai Tiezi's eyes brightened at Feng'er's words. “Junior, I have to go now. What you want to do with the legacy and the manual I taught you is up to you. If we have fate, may we meet again.”

A smile graced his lips. He looked at Feng'er, the message was obvious he could do what he wanted with the manual, including imparting onto Feng'er. The thought had never occurred to him before because when one cultivated a technique it was under the rule that they would not impart it onto others unless given permission.

Tianyi's word allowed him to do whatever he wanted to do with the techniques. He was endlessly grateful to Tianyi, not only was he bestowed the legacy of an immortal but his life's biggest worry was destroyed.

With their sect in such a state, why would the members of the Bliss Earth Sect bother to deal with a minor character like him?

Tianyi's action actually saved and preserved the Bliss Earth Sect. Had he not appeared, the original course of events would have led Bai Tiezi to exterminate the Bliss Earth Sect to the last member and regulate them to mere history on Tianwei Continent.

Bai Tiezi looked up in the sky with slight regret in his voice.

“In the end, I didn't find out what senior's name was.”

Within Tianyi's dantian, his nine Spiritual Core had stopped moving. Even the spinning Taiji symbol had disappeared. The false cosmos within his body was still as if time had stopped. The reason was soon revealed.

It was only a tiny spark at first, but soon all massive flames engulfed all nine cores.

_{Visit ‌elworld.c‍om for a better_reading experience}

The Core Formation realm had three Minor Tribulations: Wind, Flame, and Lightning. The Wind Tribulation polishes the Spiritual Core and so those who passed the Wind Tribulation are known as Polished Core Formation cultivators.

The Fire Tribulation smelted the Spiritual Cores, tempering them. Although the Spiritual Cores would decrease in size, their power would increase instead of decreasing. As such those who passed the Fire Tribulation were known as Tempered Core Formation cultivators.

Currently, the smaller Tianyi's nine Spiritual Cores were shrinking as the flames became larger. But within the flames, the originally indistinct Cores started becoming more and more visible. After an unknown amount of time, the flames dispersed revealing the smaller size Spiritual Cores.

The Eight Yang Cores within Tianyi's body had become smaller, but the golden light they emitted was even more dazzling. In contrast, the Dragon Pearl Yin Core became like a black hole, anything that neared it would become true black and seemed to disappear into the void.

The Eight Yang Cores began to orbit the Dragon Pearl Yin Core once more and the illusionary Taiji symbol appeared once more. The true qi of chaos it produced became even more formless and transparent, its grade having once again risen to another level.

When Tianyi opened his eyes once more he looked at the reflection of the full moon reflected on the endless seas.

My realm is increasing quite fast. It's only been a few months since I left Tianwei Continent but I've already become a Tempered Core Formation Master. Even without me consciously doing anything, I can feel the Heavenly River within me refine the qi around me. It's like those idle apps back on Earth. Even when you leave it off, it will continuously accumulate. Of course, only when you enter the app and use the accumulation with it have meaning.

Tianyi looked at his hands, even after the color had returned to them he still found it strange to not see it an unhealthy shade of white.

Luckily, even though my cultivation has sped up I have already found a solution to my greatest problem. I just need to return to the sect and have mother and the other elders look at it to perfect the method.

Tianyi wasn't arrogant in the belief of his ability to create a new cultivation method. His only venture was the Sole Yin, Eight Trigram Yang Core Revolution Formation, and that brought endless problems to him. The martial cultivation method he created, miraculously he must add, just so happen to counter the problems of the Sole Yin, Eight Trigrams Yang Core Revolution Formation and vice versa.

It was better to have his mother look at it before he entered the Nascent Soul realm. He had a feeling that it would only take a year or two.

Still, why hasn't mother found me yet. With her power, she should have long found me. Did something happen back at the sect? The thought of something happening Xi Mengfei never occurred to Tianyi. Since young, he had heard numerous people regal him with tales of Mengfei's invincibility and so the thought of her falling never occurred to him at all.

Tianyi stopped the immortal boat, an uncomfortable feeling had assaulted him. It wasn't strong, but to Tianyi who had been flying upon an endless sea without any change, the feeling that suddenly descended was very obvious.

He frowned as he surveyed the area. There was nothing his eyes could detect. Just the quiet sea, cloudless night sky, and the bright moon.

Tianyi released his spiritual sense and he still couldn't discover anything. Every sense Tianyi had was telling him nothing was wrong, but Tianyi felt it was better to be safe than sorry so he prepared to take a detour.

At that moment a dull red four-story tall pagoda appeared in the night sky. The pagoda was wider than it was tall and had a ghastly air to it. Upon seeing it, Tianyi immediately commanded his immortal boat to fly away as fast as possible.

The only thought in Tianyi's mind was Ambush!

But it was already too late as Tianyi felt his immortal boat slow down as if it was stuck in a quagmire. Tianyi decisively abandoned the immortal boat and stepped onto his flying sword. Although he could imitate a Nascent Soul cultivator's ability to walk on air, flying on an artifact was still faster.

Silvery shadows began to emerge from the water towards Tianyi. Upon them nearing, they were revealed to be transparent dolphins with a red slit mark upon their forehead. They emitted a ghostly yin qi that sent an unknown coldness into Tianyi's body.

For Tianyi to attempt to leave now was far harder, he had discovered the peculiarities too late. Tianyi's face became solemn as he unsheathed his sword and unleashed sword qi at the dolphins.

The dolphins continued their charge as if ignorant of the sword qi but once the sword qi connected, the dolphin who had been attacked recoiled as if in shock.

Tianyi's expression however became even more serious. Although his attack had caused damage, it was only the shock of being hit that caused the dolphin to recoil back. His attack did virtually nothing, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have to be careful of that slash. He couldn't sense the realm of those ghost dolphins, it was as if they didn't have any cultivation at all.

Tianyi unleashed Sword Formation as the World and the area around instantly became his domain. He had given up trying to run at this point, there were far too many of those dolphins surrounding him. Tianyi unleashed a myriad of techniques, but some were ineffective and just passed through the dolphins while others were able to connect but the damage done was minimal. Tianyi's sword took on a black color that resembled ink.

“Ghost Kill (杀鬼)”

The moment Tianyi's sword connected against one of the dolphins, it was as he struck a live being and a gash appeared on it. The wound was bleeding a silvery-white liquid and there were even hints of ghostly organs within.

Seeing this the other ghost dolphins began to back away, fear evident within their eyes. Tianyi used this chance to try to escape but before he could an overbearing pressure began to assault Tianyi.

He finally knew what it was like to have a cultivator of a superior realm to use their cultivation base to suppress him like he had done many times before. If the user was in the Nascent Soul or Unity realm, then Tianyi wouldn't have been affected this much. He turned around to look at the Immortal who had ambushed him.

In front of the entrance to the pagoda stood a youth seeming in his late teens. He wore a crimson robe and his face was pleasant if a little ordinary. His eyebrows were black but his long hair was completely white and he had a horn growing out of his forehead.

Tianyi felt extreme danger from this youth and he clutched the jade pendant on his waist, intent on activating the Mountain and Seas Formation. At this moment, the youth in red's eyes locked onto him and two fish-like shadows shot out towards Tianyi.

Tianyi didn't have a chance to dodge as they instantly entered his body. Tianyi's eyes became dull in an instant as if his mind had stopped functioning.
