Chapter 13

And just after Jiang Mu Ming left Chai Sang City.

Yan Liuli also led the members of the Yan Family away.

On the journey home.

Yan Liuli could not help opening the novel titled Peerless Legend.

The more she read.

The more engrossed she became, as if she had fallen deeply into this world.

In a daze.

Yan Liuli seemed to see something different in the book.

[The bright is the sun and moon.]

[Jade is the essence of heaven and earth.]

[When the two become one, it is called Bright Jade.]

"This... This is the Bright Jade Skill from the book?!"

Yan Liuli was suddenly startled.

This was the peerless martial art that only the two Palace Masters of Yihua Palace, Yaoyue and Lingxing, could cultivate in the book.

The Bright Jade Skill!

Once mastered, not only would its power be extraordinarily profound.

It could also preserve one's youth forever!

Keeping a woman's appearance eternally young!

A cultivation method like this could simply be called a divine skill!

And once this martial art was cultivated to the peak—the ninth level—it would reach the realms of Boundless Asura, Muscle Tendon Nirvana, and Tranquil Dream Carefree.

It might not make one invincible Under Heaven, but it could still elevate one to the level of the strongest experts at the very top of the world.

Not to mention that this cultivation method was most suited for women.

"Why was I actually able to comprehend the cultivation method from the book..."

Yan Liuli was utterly amazed.

Could it be that... the world in the book was not fictional, but real?

Otherwise, how could she have comprehended the Bright Jade Skill?

No. Yan Liuli suddenly thought of the mysterious Mister Jiang. Back then, he had given her this novel and told her to study it carefully.

Could it be that he had known she would be able to comprehend the Bright Jade Skill from the book?

Yan Liuli was deeply shocked!

"However, since this cultivation method was bestowed by Mister Jiang, I must cultivate it properly."

"If I can one day master the ninth level of the Bright Jade Skill."

"Then surely I will have the qualifications to stand at Mister Jiang's side."

Yan Liuli's resolve grew stronger. She could not let Mister Jiang's kindness go to waste. Moreover, after experiencing the Yan-Gu Conflict, she now yearned for strength more than ever.

The Bright Jade Skill had come at exactly the right time.

Yan Liuli immediately settled her mind and devoted herself to cultivating the Bright Jade Skill.

Meanwhile.

On the other side, Jiang Mu Ming had left Chai Sang City and was traveling toward Tian Qi City.

He suddenly sensed something in his heart.

[ Ding, having imparted the Bright Jade Skill to Yan Liuli, reward: eighth-level Bright Jade Skill cultivation! ]

In an instant.

Jiang Mu Ming's cultivation rose once more.

He had already been in the Great Carefree realm, and now he suddenly pushed forward another step.

In the blink of an eye.

He had reached Half-step Profound Spirit cultivation.

Not only that, because of the Bright Jade Skill's characteristics, Jiang Mu Ming's already dashing and handsome features had gained a touch more delicacy.

His skin was as smooth as jade, making others envious.

"It actually rewarded me with eighth-level Bright Jade Skill cultivation..."

Jiang Mu Ming was also quite surprised.

One had to know that the Bright Jade Skill had nine levels in total. Once one broke through to the ninth level, one could enter the Profound Spirit Realm.

Condensing a vortex of true qi.

From then on, whenever one circulated one's cultivation power, one's true qi would increase rather than decrease.

It could preserve one's youth forever and was extraordinarily profound.

Even eighth-level Bright Jade Skill cultivation had allowed Jiang Mu Ming's cultivation to break through once more.

He was only one step away from the Profound Spirit Realm.

But to many people, this step was like a heavenly chasm.

Even someone as monstrously talented as Yaoyue.

It was only when her life force was on the verge of extinction that she had suddenly gained enlightenment and cultivated the Bright Jade Skill to the ninth level.

Unfortunately, the Bright Jade Skill rewarded by the system only reached the eighth level.

Otherwise, Jiang Mu Ming's strength would have broken directly into the Profound Spirit Realm, making him an existence on the same level as Li Changsheng, Mo Yi, Xie Zhize, and the others.

However, Jiang Mu Ming did not feel particularly disappointed.

His imparting the skill to Yan Liuli this time had merely been a convenient gesture.

Back when Jiang Mu Ming had been studying diligently, the system had rewarded him with the Bright Jade Skill. It was just that all his attention had been focused on reading.

He truly had no time to cultivate.

Now that he had passed it on to Yan Liuli, it had directly returned eighth-level Bright Jade Skill cultivation to him.

If Yan Liuli successfully cultivated it in the future.

Would Jiang Mu Ming's Bright Jade Skill directly advance to the ninth level?

And if he imparted other, even more profound martial arts to Baili Dongjun, Sikong Changfeng, and the others, would he still receive feedback?

Jiang Mu Ming was extremely curious...

But just as Jiang Mu Ming continued pondering.

On the ancient road.

A woman who looked valiant and dashing, holding an umbrella, walked over from behind Jiang Mu Ming.

Her gaze was sharp and resolute.

She walked toward Tian Qi City.

Her entire person was as sharp as a sword—and not just any sword, but a famous blade rarely seen in the world!

Anyone who saw her.

Would instinctively keep their distance.

The surrounding pedestrians all made way, not daring to walk alongside her.

Jiang Mu Ming, however, felt nothing in particular.

With a book in one hand and wine in the other, he strode forward with carefree elegance.

It was as if he had not sensed the fierce sword intent emanating from the person beside him.

"You're not afraid of me?"

The woman beside him suddenly asked.

Jiang Mu Ming took a drink of fine wine from his jug.

He tilted his head toward the beautiful and valiant woman.

"Why should I be afraid?"

The sword-wielding woman across from him seriously sized Jiang Mu Ming up.

The corner of her lips curled into a faint smile.

"You're an expert."

Then she slowly continued, "You don't look very old. It seems another heaven-gifted genius has emerged Under Heaven."

"Do you use a sword?"

The woman's thoughts seemed to leap about wildly.

It was difficult not to feel somewhat bewildered.

Jiang Mu Ming answered honestly, "I use a sword."

Its name was Peach Blossom, one of the two swords that would later belong to the Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen of Qingcheng Mountain.

Its blade contained the sword embryo of the Nine-Nine Profound Sun Sword.

It was a sword filled with the deepest and warmest emotions in the human world.

But now, it was Jiang Mu Ming's sword.

"Very well. Let me see your sword."

The woman stopped and looked at Jiang Mu Ming, her meaning direct.

At the same time.

A terrifying sword intent shot into the sky from her body.

In an instant.

It seemed even heaven and earth changed color.

Dark winds howled, and demonic energy swept through the air.

Jiang Mu Ming also stopped. With such terrifying sword intent, the woman before him was at least an expert above the Great Carefree realm!

And in the world of Young White Horse.

There was only one woman with such strength and such a valiant bearing!

It was the sword expert who was First in Southern Decisive, Second in the World—Yu Sheng Mo!

According to the rumors.

She had suffered a backlash after forcibly borrowing the power of a demon god.

Her body had become male, while her appearance was female.

Now that he saw her, it was indeed true.

"Who would have thought that I would actually encounter the famed Yu Sheng Mo."

Jiang Mu Ming let out a self-mocking laugh.

Speaking of which, this person would soon head to Tian Qi City to challenge Li Changsheng.

It was perfectly normal for her to be on the road now.

At present, she had probably sensed the lingering aura from Jiang Mu Ming's breakthrough earlier.

That was why she had come looking for him.

She wanted to use Jiang Mu Ming to nurture an even stronger sword intent.

So she could prepare for her subsequent challenge to Li Changsheng.

"But if you want to use me to nurture your sword intent, you've miscalculated!"

Jiang Mu Ming spoke calmly.

He formed a sword seal with his fingers.

Then he reached out and beckoned.

"Rise, sword!"

In an instant, strong winds swept over, peach blossoms filled the sky, and a rainbow streaked up from behind him.

It fell into Jiang Mu Ming's hand.

An equally fierce sword intent rose.

It collided with Yu Sheng Mo's sword intent.

The very heavens and earth changed color!
