It turned out that when the furious cry of this golden eagle sounded, it drew the attention of those inside the car. Although the golden eagle was far away in the sky from them, to their eyes, the eagle still looked enormous. These people had seen golden eagles in Tibet before, but they had never encountered one like this.

The families of the deceased who were waiting below the sky burial platform all knelt down when they saw the golden eagle. Ordinary golden eagles could be ignored, but this particular eagle was different because it seemed divine to them.

They had seen this golden eagle before, but only from afar as it flew overhead; seeing it up close now was unprecedented.

This golden eagle carried Xiao Yu's soul and fiercely soared through the sky, trying to shake off its passenger. Yet no matter how hard it tried to fly, it could always sense the person on its back, and gradually, it flew further away.

After seeing the golden eagle depart, the vultures perched above began to circle down again to feed on human flesh, while the sky burial monks stood up once more to supply them with food.

Xiao Yu stood on the back of this golden eagle, carefully observing it. Its wings were spread wide, nearly three meters in length from tip to tip, and its body was over a meter long; such a massive creature resembled an airplane.

Moreover, this golden eagle's wings were incredibly powerful—just a light flap would cause the air around it to violently sway, and instantly, its body glided a kilometer away.

Awhile later, as Xiao Yu saw himself being carried further and further by the golden eagle, he helplessly shook his head with a soft chuckle.

"Hey, take me back!" At this moment, seeing that there was no sign of the bus anymore, Xiao Yu opened his mouth. An invisible wave, carrying an intent, surged into the mind of the golden eagle.

When Xiao Yu's voice sounded in the eagle’s mind, it visibly paused for a second. Its previously wild flight seemed to freeze as it stopped midair.

Xiao Yu's soul gradually took form—if there had been anyone present at this moment, they would have seen him standing on top of the golden eagle.

Once Xiao Yu’s figure appeared, the golden eagle also saw him. Previously, it could only sense his presence but not see him, yet now it suddenly realized that someone was standing on its back. This person made its soul shiver, causing it to freeze in midair without daring to move.

Look at the person on his back. An overwhelming feeling suddenly surged in the golden eagle's heart, as if this person could take its life with a mere gesture. Moreover, it felt no resistance in its soul.

After some time, the golden eagle finally reacted and flew towards their original direction. Soon, a large bus came into Xiao Yu’s sight.

"Haha, you can go now!" After spotting the bus, Xiao Yu sent an invisible wave of energy into the golden eagle's mind. He then vanished in a flash and reappeared above his body before vanishing again.

The moment this golden eagle heard Xiao Yu's words, it found that the person on its back had disappeared without any trace, and it could no longer sense the aura of that person. This left the golden eagle very puzzled; how could a real person vanish like air

When the golden eagle felt Xiao Yu’s presence fade away completely, it spread out its wings and flew towards the sky, gradually disappearing.

Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes at this moment. He had just completely retracted his yin soul; even Dai Yuxin beside him did not see any sign of Xiao Yu's yin soul.

"Master, are you okay" Seeing Xiao Yu open his eyes, Dai Yuxin asked anxiously.

Earlier on, Dai Yuxin had been paying attention to the surroundings and hadn't even looked at the sky burial. She only glanced at that huge golden eagle briefly. Although she was very curious about it, she knew that Xiao Yu's safety was more important than anything else.

"I'm fine," Xiao Yu shook his head after hearing Dai Yuxin’s words.

Although Dai Yuxin was very curious about what Xiao Yu had been doing, she did not ask out loud. Everyone has some secrets to keep, even a master and apprentice.

In fact, Xiao Yu hadn’t planned on keeping this from her, but he felt it wasn't the right time to tell yet. Moreover, Dai Yuxin already had solid pure yin energy within her body; after some time when she could refine more of her yin energy, Xiao Yu would teach her how to cultivate a yin soul. Considering her constitution, cultivating a yin soul would be twice as effective.

At this moment, the bus was no longer quiet like it had been when people first got on; instead, it became chaotic, mainly due to a forty-something-year-old man talking while others listened.

The man spoke about the local sky burial customs and legends of golden eagles. After seeing Xiao Yu wake up, Dai Yuxin also focused her attention on listening carefully.

This person clearly wasn't new to the Tibetan region; after speaking about sky burials, he went on to discuss various customs and traditions of the area.

The diverse customs and habits in the Tibetan region, along with some amusing incidents involving outsiders, had everyone on the bus laughing. This alleviated the boredom felt by the passengers.

At around 4:30 PM, the coach stopped at Mount Everest's base camp.

The people on this coach included a few climbers intending to ascend Mount Everest and others who were merely tourists looking to admire it. They would spend one night here before departing.

Among these individuals were four or five men traveling together, each carrying large backpacks. The middle-aged man who had spoken during the journey was also part of this group. He mentioned that they were mountain enthusiasts there to conquer Mount Everest.

The moment everyone got off the coach, they scattered to find accommodation. Although it was still early in the day, the optimal time for climbing had passed. Tourists planned to explore nearby sights and visit the highest-altitude temple.

Upon disembarking, Xiao Yu's group didn't seek lodging but instead began walking towards Mount Everest several kilometers away.

"Where are you going It’s not a good time to head up Mount Everest now. Plus, your clothing and equipment aren’t suitable for climbing! If you just want to have a look around that’s fine; however, it would be best if you joined the group tomorrow!"

Seeing Xiao Yu's group heading towards Mount Everest instead of searching for accommodation, several mountaineers hurriedly shouted at them.

Even experienced climbers like these wouldn't dare to climb now. Moreover, Xiao Yu was only wearing a cotton jacket while the girl wore merely a down coat; neither were properly equipped for climbing, carrying only small backpacks with no necessary gear.

"Thank you for your concern! We just want to have a look!" Xiao Yu turned around and smiled at them before waving goodbye and heading towards Mount Everest.

The climbers didn't try to stop them any further since they had already warned them. They shook their heads, walking towards the tented accommodations nearby.

After half an hour of walking, Xiao Yu's group arrived at the foot of Mount Everest.

Although it was very cold here, Xiao Yu's cultivation level had long been at the point where he wasn't affected by heat or cold. Dai Yuxin also possessed some resistance to the cold, so they weren’t afraid of the chill.

The two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the towering peaks covered in snow. However, instead of climbing the mountain, they pulled out their phones and started making calls.

Xiao Yu knew that the old man resided here but didn’t know his exact location, so he had to ask for directions.

He made a call to Wang’s brothers because he didn’t know anyone else. They were the only people they recognized from this gathering, and Wang’s brothers had told Xiao Yu to give them a call when he arrived.

Xiao Yu spoke briefly on the phone before hanging up.

Shortly after hanging up, within twenty minutes, two figures emerged from the mountain and walked straight towards Xiao Yu and his companions.

Upon seeing them, Xiao Yu led Dai Yuxin to approach them.

"Senior Daoists, you arrived early!" When Xiao Yu reached them, he clasped his fists in greeting.

"Haha, Senior Xue! We just arrived. This is…" The two of them chuckled and clasped their fists as a greeting to Xiao Yu upon hearing his words. Afterward, when they saw Dai Yuxin standing beside Xiao Yu, they looked at her with puzzlement.

"Haha, she’s my disciple! I brought her along this time for some experience!" Xiao Yu chuckled and explained.

The two of them felt very strange after hearing Xiao Yu's words. They couldn’t sense any fluctuations of essence energy from Dai Yuxin's body. Given that they couldn't feel Xiao Yu's essence energy was because his cultivation level was higher than theirs, if they couldn’t sense Dai Yuxin’s, this made it hard for them to believe. Could Dai Yuxin also have a cultivation level higher than theirs This seemed impossible. If one person were considered a prodigy, the master and apprentice duo would be even more so.

Xiao Yu saw their confusion but didn’t say anything; after all, Dai Yuxin cultivated Yin energy and pure Yin energy at that. To prevent others from realizing this, he had already placed talismans on her body to conceal it. Unless someone’s cultivation level surpassed his, they wouldn't be able to see through Dai Yuxin.

After all, in a modern society where everyone cultivated weather-based essence energy, the sudden appearance of someone who cultivated Yin energy would inevitably arouse suspicion among people.u's acupuncture treatment, nodding slowly as he thought to himself that Xiao Yu’s needlework might have reached nine-tenths of his father’s level, and even his father would probably do no better in tr...
