"Of course, I surely need something more than that," Yun Lintian said with a faint smile. "But I am confident in defeating him."
Yun Lintian tried to distract Yu Cai as much as he could and continued to talk with her.
Yu Cai's smile faded slightly, her expression turning serious. "You're confident, I'll give you that. But confidence can be dangerous. You will definitely suffer a huge loss underestimating my lord."
Yun Lintian said calmly. "I don't underestimate him. But I also don't fear him. I'll face him when the time comes, and I'll do whatever it takes to win."
Yu Cai studied him for a moment, her dark eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and something else—something Yun Lintian couldn't quite place. Finally, she sighed softly, her expression softening slightly.
"You're an interesting man, Yun Lintian," she said, her voice calm but laced with a hint of something deeper. "I almost wish we could have met under different circumstances. Perhaps we could have been allies."
Yun Lintian's smile widened slightly. "Perhaps. But fate has a way of bringing people together in unexpected ways. Who knows what the future holds?"
Yu Cai's eyes narrowed slightly, her sharp instincts picking up on something strange. She glanced around, her expression turning cautious. "What are you planning, Yun Lintian?"
Yun Lintian's smile didn't falter. "Oh, nothing much. Just a little surprise."
Before Yu Cai could respond, the space around her began to shift. The chaotic energy of the Abyssal Rift twisted and folded, forming intricate patterns that Yu Cai recognized all too well.
"A formation?" she muttered, her eyes widening in realization. "When did you—?"
Yun Lintian's smile widened. "While you were busy testing me, I was busy setting up my own formation. You're not the only one who can play games, Yu Cai."
Yu Cai's heart sank as she felt the formation tighten around her. The intricate patterns of energy woven by Yun Lintian were flawless, their complexity far beyond anything she had ever seen.
She could feel the formation pressing down on her, its energy suppressing her chaotic energy and sealing her movements.
Ren Yuan, however, didn't immediately respond. He turned to Chun Yue, who had been silently observing the process, her eyes wide with a mixture of awe and apprehension.
"Chun Yue," Ren Yuan said, his voice calm and steady, "come forward."
Chun Yue was startled. She looked at Ren Yuan, her eyes filled with surprise. "Master?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.
"Come closer," Ren Yuan repeated, his gaze fixed on her.
Chun Yue hesitated for a moment, but she obeyed, stepping forward cautiously.
Ren Yuan raised his hand, and a stream of chaotic energy flowed from his fingertips, swirling around Chun Yue's body.
"Absorb this," he commanded, his voice firm. "It is a portion of the Chasm of Uncreation's power. It will enhance your strength, protect you from the chaos that is to come."
Chun Yue's eyes widened in disbelief. She had never expected her master to share such a precious power with her, a power that could potentially elevate her cultivation to unimaginable heights.
"Master..." she began, her voice trembling with emotion. "I... I don't know what to say."
Ren Yuan's expression softened slightly. "There is no need for words," he said, his voice gentle. "You have served me faithfully, Chun Yue. This is a reward for your loyalty."
Chun Yue's eyes glistened with tears of gratitude. "Thank you, Master," she said, her voice filled with sincerity.
With that, she closed her eyes and began to absorb the chaotic energy, her aura flaring as the power of the Chasm of Uncreation flowed through her.
The Chasm of Uncreation's voice boomed through the Abyssal Rift, its tone filled with rage.
"Ren Yuan!" it roared. "What is the meaning of this? You dare to share my power with a mere mortal?"
Ren Yuan's expression hardened. "She is my disciple," he replied, his voice cold and resolute. "She has earned this power."
"Besides," He paused for a moment and continued. "This is originally a deal between us."
