Fairy, your fetish is too outrageous!

"Holy crap!"

Jiang Chuan hadn't expected Ji Xinyu to directly want to use her sword to send him to the afterlife, but at this moment, he couldn't afford to think too much.

Looking at the flying sword that was just within reach and feeling the chilling cold, Jiang Chuan spread his five fingers, and five streaks of dark rainbow light shot out.

The five dark rainbows intertwined, resembling the mythical beast Taotie, opening its giant maw and directly swallowing Ji Xinyu's flying sword.

"Eh?!"

Jiang Daode's eyes revealed a hint of astonishment. He hadn't expected Jiang Chuan to suppress Ji Xinyu's flying sword with just a wave of his hand.

Ji Xinyu stared at Jiang Chuan, her large eyes unblinking, her gaze filled with scrutiny and surprise.

"What kind of divine ability is this? It can suppress my Treasure Artifact Flying Sword!"

"To suppress five Treasure Artifact Flying Swords with just the Third Realm? This cultivation method is likely no less than the core inheritances of the Seven Sects, Six Demons, Three Palaces, and Nine Clans," Jiang Daode said slowly.

The cultivators of the Qingyuan Realm could be summarized with one sentence referencing the major powers within the Qingyuan Realm.

The Seven Immortal Gates and Six Heavenly Demons, the Three Palaces and Nine Clans are all considered external paths.

Ji Xinyu's Nine Heavens Palace was one of the Three Palaces.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you jest. This cultivation method is merely a nameless Immortal Dao cultivation method I found in a cave. How could it possibly compare to the core inheritances of various powers?"

As Jiang Chuan spoke, his gaze was fixed on the giant blue snake beneath Ji Xinyu's feet, fearing that the snake's mouth would spit out more flying swords.

Although the Void Devouring Scripture was a demonic cultivation method, it was grand and direct, pointing straight to the essence of the Great Dao. When executed, it emitted no sinister or malevolent aura, showing no trace of a demonic cultivation method.

This was also why he could cultivate a demonic cultivation method at Bodhi Temple without being discovered.

Besides, who said that cultivating a demonic cultivation method automatically made one a person of the demonic path?

As a disciple of Bodhi Temple, how could he not be an Immortal Dao rogue cultivator while cultivating a demonic cultivation method?

"As you say, how could a nameless cultivation method compare to my Nine Heavens Palace's supreme inheritance, the 'Nine Heavens Nine Tribulations Scripture'?"

The giant snake beneath Ji Xinyu's feet opened its massive mouth again. The flying swords inserted into the snake's mouth glinted coldly under the sunlight.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, don't waste time. Let me send you for reincarnation soon, and then I'll guide you back to the Nine Heavens Palace to teach you our palace's supreme inheritance. Once you achieve mastery, we'll become Dao Companions."

Ji Xinyu's eyes sparkled, and a captivating blush appeared on her face.

Jiang Chuan looked at Ji Xinyu, completely bewildered.

What the hell was going on?

A nurturing relationship, plus... no, it was more like a student seducing their master.

Your fetish is too outrageous!

Jiang Chuan quickly spoke up, "Wait a moment, Fairy Ji."

"Do you have any last words to say?" Ji Xinyu asked with confusion.

"Fairy Ji, Divine Calculator Senior once told me that the Great Dao has fifty principles, Heaven's evolution has forty-nine, and one is left to escape."

Jiang Chuan proposed, "There are no predetermined outcomes in worldly affairs. I believe that even without reincarnation, there's still a sliver of hope for us to become Dao Companions."

Ji Xinyu looked at Jiang Daode.

Jiang Daode coughed lightly, "Fellow Daoist Jiang is correct. All matters in the world are not set in stone, but to defy fate and change destiny is difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

"It's all about human effort. If we don't try, how will we know? Please, Daoist Jiang, offer some guidance." Jiang Chuan himself didn't believe in predestination.

Jiang Daode looked at Jiang Chuan with annoyance.

Wanting my guidance without paying?

No way!

"Fellow Daoist Jiang has outstanding talent and has received an inheritance from a senior. When he faces tribulations in the future, it will likely be because he has provoked powerful enemies. The simplest way to defy fate and change destiny is to strengthen oneself."

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Did he even need to say that?

If he, Jiang, were invincible in the world and could suppress immortals and buddhas with a wave of his hand, who could cause him trouble?

"So, defying fate and changing destiny is this simple."

Ji Xinyu nodded thoughtfully. "I also came to Chisha Island to search for the cave mansion left behind by the Dragon Transformation Venerable three thousand years ago. If I can find Senior Dragon Transformation's lost treasure and inheritance, I can share some treasures with you, which should help you defy fate and change destiny."

Dragon Transformation Venerable!

This was the first time Jiang Chuan had heard the title Dragon Transformation Venerable, but from Ji Xinyu's tone, it was not difficult to infer that the Dragon Transformation Venerable was definitely a formidable power of that era.

"Countless cultivators have come to Chisha Island searching for the Dragon Transformation Venerable's inheritance, but they all returned empty-handed."

Jiang Daode didn't believe Ji Xinyu would find the inheritance.

Ji Xinyu nodded slightly. "I also think the probability of finding it is quite low. Fellow Daoist Jiang, I'll still send you for reincarnation."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is so handsome, you'll definitely be very cute after reincarnation! Then I'll hold Fellow Daoist Jiang in my arms..."

The mere thought of holding Jiang Chuan, who would be like a porcelain doll, made Ji Xinyu eager to send him for reincarnation.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The flying sword, evolved into a dark space by the Void Devouring Scripture and swallowed, felt Ji Xinyu's thoughts and let out a clear sword cry.

Jiang Chuan hurriedly said, "Man proposes, but heaven disposes! Fairy Ji, it's all about human effort! Let's go find the inheritance of Dragon Transformation Venerable first. If we can't find it, it's not too late for you to send me to reincarnation."

"Fine, I'll wait a while longer."

Ji Xinyu was clearly displeased that her nurturing plan couldn't begin.

Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he and Ji Xinyu were both in the Third Realm, he only had a low-grade treasured artifact saber, while Ji Xinyu had over a dozen treasure artifact flying swords!

If they were to truly fight, he would definitely be killed by Ji Xinyu in the end.

[You and Ji Xinyu are on Chisha Island, searching for the cave mansion of Dragon Transformation Venerable.]

[After searching for two months, you still couldn't find the cave mansion of Dragon Transformation Venerable.]

[During this time, you tried multiple times to improve your relationship with Ji Xinyu, but Ji Xinyu, who was more focused on nurturing, remained indifferent to you. Instead, she proposed sending you to reincarnation more than once.]

[You worried that Ji Xinyu would eventually kill you, so you rushed to the Heavenly Dao Pavilion and used all your spirit stones to purchase the information of several fairies to improve the "Qingyuan Realm Fairy Directory".]

[After you left, you were quickly ambushed by a group of people on a dark and windy night.]

[These people shouted, "Kill this scumbag who deceived his junior sisters (or senior sisters)!"]

[You suspect that scoundrel Jiang Daode leaked the news of you buying fairy information. But you couldn't afford to think about it anymore.]

[Finally, after enduring several hours of beating, you successfully escaped.]

The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting down its clear moonlight.

Silver waves continuously crashed against the mountain cliffs along the shore, making rumbling sounds.

Jiang Chuan, bruised and battered all over, lay on the sandy beach by the shore, grimacing.

It hurt!

It hurt so much!

"Damn it! These bastards from the Nine Heavens Palace really hit hard! If not for the peculiar nature of the Void Devouring Scripture, I might have ended up at the bottom of the sea!"

The more Jiang Chuan thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Sooner or later, I'll catch all of you. The men will be suppressed for a hundred years, and the women will serve me tea and water as my maids."

"And that scoundrel Jiang Daode, I'll suppress you for two to three hundred years!"

[After healing your injuries, you and Ji Xinyu continued to search for the cave mansion of Dragon Transformation Venerable.]

[What made you uneasy was that you always felt like an unseen pair of eyes were watching you.]

[After another three months of searching, through five months of hard cultivation, you successfully broke through to the seventh level of the Third Realm.]

[In these five months, you and Ji Xinyu had almost scoured the entire Chisha Island, but without finding any trace of Dragon Transformation Venerable's cave mansion. This made Ji Xinyu somewhat want to give up and prepare to send you to reincarnation directly.]

[You wanted to use words to stabilize Ji Xinyu, but Ji Xinyu didn't want to hear your nonsense. She could only send you to reincarnation now to satisfy her nurturing obsession.]

[Under Ji Xinyu's pursuit, you fled in panic. As you passed by a lake, an anomaly occurred.]
