Bixiao's voice wasn't loud, but it startled Yunxiao.
In an instant, Yunxiao's heart leaped into her throat.
Was she discovered?
How would she explain the Dao Companion matter?
Forbidding Bixiao from finding a Dao Companion while having one herself.
This wouldn't make any sense.
No!
Yunxiao immediately calmed herself down.
Bixiao only knew that she had gone out for a trip.
Moreover, the place where she had met Lu Changsheng earlier was some distance from Three Immortal Island.
Bixiao might not know everything she and Lu Changsheng had done.
"Lu Changsheng came to ask me for some pointers on the methods of Shangqing Divine Thunder in preparation for his battle with Dingguang Xian."
Yunxiao didn't even dare to look at Bixiao, afraid of being discovered by the hint of panic in her eyes.
Now, she could only hope that Bixiao didn't know much.
"What, Lu Changsheng is here? Where is he?"
Bixiao's face lit up with surprise.
"I know Shangqing Divine Thunder too! Let me teach him."
"He has already left."
Yunxiao's heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled down.
So Bixiao only knew that she had gone out, not that Lu Changsheng had come.
If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have said anyone had come.
"What a shame, he left already."
Bixiao looked disappointed.
She was bored to death on Three Immortal Island.
Finally, someone came, and she didn't even get to see them.
"Eldest Sister..."
Bixiao suddenly leaned closer, a smile playing on her lips.
"If you have something to say, say it."
Yunxiao knew her little sister quite well.
"Eldest Sister, this duel between Lu Changsheng and Dingguang Xian, you were the one who arranged it."
"So?"
Yunxiao asked.
"So, so his battle doesn't just represent himself, it also represents Eldest Sister."
"If he loses, wouldn't it embarrass Eldest Sister as well?"
"How about this, I'll go to his Cave Mansion to find him and give him some pointers on his cultivation."
Bixiao looked at Yunxiao expectantly.
"No!"
Yunxiao refused without a second thought.
Did she not know whether Bixiao wanted to go out or to guide Lu Changsheng in his cultivation?
Besides, even if Bixiao really wanted to guide Lu Changsheng, it wouldn't be of much use.
Bixiao herself was only half-baked in many of the Jie Sect's Mystical Abilities.
"You just broke through to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal not long ago, you need to go into seclusion to consolidate your realm."
Bixiao pouted.
"But..."
"There's no 'but.' Do you still want to go watch the battle?"
Yunxiao had Bixiao cornered with this statement.
"Fine, I'll go cultivate then."
Bixiao had no other choice.
But just as she was about to leave, her peripheral vision caught something.
"Huh? Eldest Sister, why did you change your Golden Hairpin?"
Yunxiao subconsciously touched the Golden Flood Dragon Hairpin.
"I wore the previous one for too long."
"But I've never seen you wear this Golden Hairpin before?"
Bixiao leaned in again, sizing up the Golden Flood Dragon Hairpin carefully.
"It's actually a Houtian Lingbao?!"
"Eldest Sister, when did you get such a Magic Treasure?"
Yunxiao panicked inwardly.
"Why are you asking so many questions?"
"I see you just broke through to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, and your Combat Experience is insufficient."
"Let me help you."
Hearing this, Bixiao shook her head like a rattle drum.
"No, no!"
She had sparred with Yunxiao before, and each time she was thoroughly beaten.
She had no masochistic tendencies.
"I'll go cultivate then."
As Bixiao spoke, she returned to her own cushion, closed her eyes, and began to regulate her breathing.
At this moment, Yunxiao felt as if a great weight had been lifted.
She took off the Golden Flood Dragon Hairpin and examined it.
The more she looked, the more she liked it, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve into a slight smile.
A moment later, she put the Golden Flood Dragon Hairpin back on.
Now, she could only hope that Lu Changsheng truly had a trump card that could defeat Dingguang Xian.
Of course, if Lu Changsheng really couldn't defeat Dingguang Xian, it wouldn't matter. She would find a way to get the Cultivation Resources from the bet.
At worst, she would just snatch them from the other Suishi Qixian.
Lu Changsheng returned to his Cave Mansion.
This trip to Three Immortal Island had successfully met his expectations.
Not only did he increase his Affection, but he also obtained three Spirit Enlightenment Talismans.
He was even starting to think about what request he would make of Yunxiao after defeating Dingguang Xian.
He had indeed agreed that the condition could not be too excessive.
But between Dao Companions, there were many requests that weren't excessive.
Lu Changsheng was lost in thought.
A few breaths later, Lu Changsheng forced himself to calm down.
He still needed to focus on improving his strength.
He decided to try the Spirit Enlightenment Talismans rewarded by the System first.
As he took out a Spirit Enlightenment Talisman, the System's query sounded.
[Detected Host is using Spirit Enlightenment Talisman, which divine ability does Host wish to comprehend?]
[Current comprehendible divine abilities include Purple Heaven Spirit Sword Art, Nine Heavens Thunder Eyes, Indestructible Divine Thunder Body, and Shangqing Divine Thunder.]
"Purple Heaven Spirit Sword Art."
As Lu Changsheng made his choice, the Spirit Enlightenment Talisman in his hand disappeared.
A wisp of Spiritual Light surged into Lu Changsheng's sea of consciousness.
Along with a sharp pain in his brow, Lu Changsheng's vision went black.
When he regained his sight, he found himself standing in a barren wasteland.
This...
Before Lu Changsheng could react, a blurry figure appeared above the Dome.
Buzz!
A sword chant shook the heavens, and the person held a spiritual sword in their hand.
The moment the spiritual sword was unsheathed, the entire world seemed to lose its color.
Immediately, the person slashed out with their sword.
A dazzling sword light shot straight into the Nine Heavens.
It was as if an endless abyss had pierced through the entire sky.
Lu Changsheng stared, dumbfounded.
A single sword strike split the firmament. Was this the Purple Heaven Spirit Sword Art at the Perfection Realm?
The next moment, that blurry figure transformed into a streak of sword light and charged at Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng's vision went black again.
When he regained consciousness, his sea of consciousness had gained insights related to the Purple Heaven Spirit Sword Art.
Purple Heaven Spirit Sword Art, Perfection Realm!
He stepped out of his cave mansion and into the high heavens.
He condensed a spirit sword in his right hand, took a deep breath, his eyes sharp as blades.
Purple Heaven Spirit Sword Art!
He unleashed a sword strike, and an astonishing sword light swept out.
However, after this strike, Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.
"System, this isn't right."
He even suspected that the System had tricked him.
It was still the Purple Heaven Spirit Sword Art at the Perfection Realm, yet his sword strike was vastly different from the one he saw in the illusion.
If the blurry figure's sword strike in the illusion could slay a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal or even a Quasi-Saint.
Then his strike probably couldn't even slay a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
[The Host's Purple Heaven Spirit Sword Art has reached the Perfection Realm, but the strength of divine abilities is also related to cultivation.]
Lu Changsheng suddenly understood.
It made sense.
Just like Magic Treasures, no matter how powerful a divine ability is, it needs corresponding cultivation to support it.
"Hey, who are you calling weak in cultivation?"
Lu Changsheng, having snapped back to reality, felt offended.
[This System is merely answering the Host's question. With the Host's current Mysterious Immortal cultivation, you can only...]
"Stop!"
"Don't say another word."
Lu Changsheng was even more speechless.
Besides having low cultivation, couldn't you say anything else?
He should continue using the Spirit Enlightenment Talisman.
He used the second Spirit Enlightenment Talisman to comprehend the Indestructible Thunder God Body, making his physical body even more formidable.
As for the third Spirit Enlightenment Talisman, he did not choose the Nine Heavens Thunder Eyes but instead used it on the Shangqing Divine Thunder.
This was actually the result of his careful consideration.
Among the few major divine abilities he had mastered, the Indestructible Thunder God Body focused on physical strength and defense.
The remaining Nine Heavens Thunder Eyes, Purple Heaven Spirit Sword Art, and Shangqing Divine Thunder were all offensive divine abilities.
And with the Ling Yun Jian, the Purple Heaven Spirit Sword Art was something he had to comprehend and improve.
The decision point then lay between the Nine Heavens Thunder Eyes and the Shangqing Divine Thunder.
After comprehending the Purple Heaven Spirit Sword Art, there wasn't much difference between the Nine Heavens Thunder Eyes and the Shangqing Divine Thunder.
However, the Shangqing Divine Thunder had an advantage that the Nine Heavens Thunder Eyes did not possess.
This was a Jie Sect Divine Ability.
Just imagine, if he could defeat Dingguang Xian using the Shangqing Divine Thunder during their fight, how satisfying would that be?
Of course, Dingguang Xian was secondary.
The main goal was to attract Tongtian's attention.
Although the System's rewards were good, obtaining them had conditions.
To improve his cultivation as quickly as possible, he had to raise his status within the Jie Sect.
If he could become Tongtian's Personal Disciple, that would be the best outcome.
Therefore, whether it was defeating a Golden Immortal as a Mysterious Immortal or comprehending the Shangqing Divine Thunder in a short time, these were all means to attract Tongtian's attention.
After using the third Spirit Enlightenment Talisman to enhance his comprehension of the Shangqing Divine Thunder.
Lu Changsheng took out the Yin Yang Spirit Merging Pill.
His divine abilities were almost fully improved, so it was time to focus on his cultivation.
He swallowed the Yin Yang Spirit Merging Pill and began his secluded cultivation once more.
