Chapter 198 Threatening Delis.
After chatting with Yang Buhui and Ji Xiaofu for a while, Yang Xiao led Yang Ke to the entrance of the secret passage.
"Delis, come out."
It's not an exaggeration for Delis, a member of the Ming Cult, to know that the secret passage was in Yang Buhui's room.
There aren't many experts in the Ming Cult now, so she naturally has the ability to infiltrate with Xiao Zhao.
"Yang Xiao, you stay here and don't let anyone else in."
"Let's go, Delis. You've been through the secret passage before, so even if you're not sure of the exact location, you should know the general area."
Yang Ke didn't mind showing his relationship with Yang Xiao in front of Delis, which would only make her more terrified.
Having come this far, Delis naturally wouldn't back down, especially since she knew that for Yang Ke to deal with her was simply a matter of lifting a finger.
And so, the three of them went down the secret passage. Delis didn't play any tricks and led Yang Ke towards the secret chamber where Yang Dingtian was cultivating.
The three quickly entered a stone chamber. As soon as they entered, Delis discovered the remains of the Sky-Piercing Couple, which made her feel uneasy.
The main reason is that Yang Dingtian agreed to her joining the Ming Cult, and she later brought the Purple-Robed Dragon King with her.
Although she wanted to get back the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, seeing Yang Dingtian like this now, she felt a little confused.
Yang Ke, unaware of all that Delis had to do, picked up the Qiankun Great Shift Divine Skill printed on the sheepskin and began to read it.
The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth technique originated from the Persian Ming Cult and was a treasure of the cult. It was later brought to the Central Plains Ming Cult, while the Persian Ming Cult lost it.
This skill is divided into seven levels. Those with high comprehension need seven years to complete the first level, and the second level takes twice as long, becoming increasingly difficult. However, if the practitioner has sufficient internal strength, there is no need to spend so much time learning; they can achieve mastery quickly.
Even Yang Dingtian hadn't mastered it to a high level, and the person who created this secret realm had only reached the sixth level. The seventh level was actually something the creator had imagined out of thin air, and it was impossible to cultivate there.
It turns out that the master who created the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" back then, although possessing strong internal energy, had not reached that level, only mastering the sixth level. He himself had not mastered the seventh level of the mental cultivation method he wrote; he merely relied on his intelligence and imagination to strive for variations.
Others may not know, but Yang Ke does. The seventh level of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth is to transform the tangible into the intangible. As long as he follows this line of thought, he will not have difficulty comprehending it.
The key is that his internal strength is astonishing, just like Zhang Wuji, which makes it much easier for him to cultivate the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.
"Want it?"
Yang Ke grasped the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth after only a few glances. After demonstrating it, he saw Delilah, who was looking on with envy, and asked her about it.
"Well, what are your requirements?"
Delis knew Yang Ke wouldn't give it to her easily, so she asked.
"Let's go up first, we won't stay in this secret room any longer."
Yang Ke felt the environment wasn't very good, so he gestured for Delis to return to Bright Peak to discuss it further.
As for the message from Yang Dingtian about passing the leadership to Xie Xun, he certainly wouldn't reveal it. Instead, he planned to have Yang Xiao cultivate the Great Shift of the Universe and become the leader of the Ming Cult.
After the two returned to Yang Buhui's room on Bright Peak, Yang Ke waved his hand and called Yang Xiao away first, then gave Delis a look.
"Xiao Zhao, go downstairs and wait for me."
Delis had never revealed to Xiao Zhao that she was her daughter, because she was worried that the Persian Ming Cult would find out and take her back as a saint.
"Young Master Yang, now you can tell me, what conditions will it take for me to obtain the Great Shift of the Universe?"
Delis also spoke up frankly.
The main problem is that the Persian Ming Cult hasn't come for so many years, but she dares not gamble on it.
After all, she herself is not from the Central Plains martial arts world. If the Persian Ming Cult comes knocking on their door, it's hard to say what will happen to her and her daughter when they return.
"It's very simple, all I want is you, someone who will be completely devoted to me."
Yang Ke spoke frankly to Delis.
"I, I'm just an old woman, how could that be?"
Delis shook her head, not wanting to discuss the matter.
"You only use the Qiankun Great Shift because you're worried about the Persian Ming Cult, but they're no match for me."
"Given your daughter's identity, the best outcome for the Persian Ming Cult would be the separation of mother and daughter, while the worst outcome would be your death and your daughter's return."
"But if you come with me, I'll guarantee your safety and that of your daughter. Isn't that enough?"
Yang Ke revealed the story of the Persian Ming Cult in an attempt to help Delis see reality clearly.
"How do you know about the Persian Ming Cult?"
Delis was shocked, mainly because she had been hiding her identity when she came to the Ming Cult in the Central Plains, so how did Yang Ke know?
"Never mind how I know, all I can tell you is that they will send someone over in a few years."
"Because the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth technique of the Ming Cult in Persia has been lost, and there is no Holy Maiden now, your daughter will..."
Yang Ke waved his hand and then explained the situation of the Persian Ming Cult.
"The Persian Ming Cult isn't as simple as you think. Before I left..."
Delis shook her head, not believing that Yang Ke really understood.
Except for the founder, all leaders of the Persian Ming Cult were unmarried virgins, in order to maintain the sacredness and chastity of the Ming Cult.
Over the centuries, several mediocre female leaders have emerged one after another. More than thirty years ago, the head of the sect sent Dai Qisi to Bright Peak, and afterwards she herself was unaware of the situation of the Persian Ming Cult.
But when she was a saintess, the Persian Ming Cult was incredibly powerful.
"The leader of the Persian Ming Cult has twelve great masters, known as the Twelve Treasure Tree Kings. They are mainly skilled in studying doctrines and are well-versed in the classics. They are not necessarily highly skilled in martial arts. Their status is equivalent to the Four Protector Kings of the Ming Cult in China."
"The three envoys, Feng, Yun, and Yue, have studied the martial arts on the Sacred Flame Token and are now all at the peak of the Grandmaster level. When they attack together, they are comparable to a Grandmaster. I know all of this, even better than you do."
Yang Ke's words were half true and half false.
The Persian Ming Cult was indeed very powerful; even Zhang Wuji couldn't get away with it against the three of them.
The truth is, they didn't actually want to capture Delilah. The real reason was that the leader of the Persian Ming Cult had passed away, and the envoys came to the Central Plains to find the Holy Maiden Delilah.
However, Delis was currently unaware of the situation of the Persian Ming Cult, and Yang Ke's explanation was too detailed, leaving Delis feeling very conflicted.
"Have you thought this through? There aren't many people in the world who can stand up to the Persian Ming Cult. If you don't seek my protection, once the Persian Ming Cult arrives, you and your daughter will be doomed."
Yang Ke's last words were undoubtedly meant to awaken Delis.
You yourself are fearless and it's fine, but would you really be willing to sacrifice your daughter?
"I promise you."
Delis closed her eyes and pondered for several minutes before finally agreeing in a low voice.
Having agreed, she silently took off her clothes and came to Yang Ke's side.
When Delis, with her exotic beauty, appeared before Yang Ke, he naturally couldn't restrain himself anymore.
"Congratulations, host, on successfully winning over Delis. Reward: Great Perfection of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth."
Well, after all, Delis is just a supporting female character. If she wants a good reward, she'll have to wait for someone else. So Yang Ke wasn't too disappointed.
This Great Perfection allowed him to fully master the seventh level, and with his profound internal strength, he wouldn't lose even if he faced Zhang Sanfeng.
