Ye Xuan's Request!

Great Bamboo Peak.

The next morning.

Several unknown birds were chirping incessantly.

Tian Buyi, hands clasped behind his back, strolled along the corridor with his signature duck-like gait.

His eyes were narrowed to slits, and he hummed a few off-key tunes from time to time.

He was in a good mood.

Truly good.

Ever since he learned that Zhang Xiaofan had finally opened up and successfully achieved Spirit Induction into Body.

Tian Buyi felt that even the large patches of dark bamboo behind the mountain looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Who said Great Bamboo Peak had no future?

Look.

Not to mention Seventh, that prodigy, that was pure luck.

Eighth had astonishing talent, a gift from the ancestors.

Now, even the most unremarkable Ninth had joined.

In another few decades.

His Great Bamboo Peak might even be more glorious than Heaven-Piercing Peak.

"So early in the morning."

"What are you daydreaming about here?"

Su Ru emerged from the house.

Seeing her husband's pathetic appearance, she couldn't help but chide him playfully.

"My dear, you don't understand."

"I was thinking about this Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament..."

"Our Great Bamboo Peak must at least make an appearance, and at least be able to overshadow that old fellow Cang Song."

Hearing Su Ru's words.

Tian Buyi stopped in his tracks and leaned in with a smile.

However.

When Cang Song was mentioned.

Tian Buyi couldn't help but snort coldly again.

Those people from Dragon Head Peak, they always acted so high and mighty, it made him angry just looking at them.

"Master, Mistress."

Just then.

A clear voice came from outside the courtyard.

Ye Xuan, dressed in a neat, light blue Daoist robe, walked in, stepping on the morning dew.

The boy, about twelve or thirteen years old, hadn't fully grown yet.

But the spiritual energy emanating from his bones was impossible to conceal.

He stood there as if he had merged with the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Innate Dao Body.

No matter how many times he saw it, Tian Buyi would praise him in his heart.

This disciple was truly worth taking!

"Seventh."

"You're here so early, is there something you don't understand about your cultivation?"

Tian Buyi immediately put on the stern master's facade, trying his best to appear profound.

He knew very well.

His disciple's current cultivation realm was definitely the number one among the younger generation of the Qingyun Sect, perhaps even stronger than some elders.

Shangqing Realm.

He had only been cultivating for a few years?

If this were to get out, the entire Qingyun Sect would likely be shaken.

But.

Ye Xuan was still too young.

It was entirely normal to encounter some cultivation bottlenecks.

"Master, please see."

"Yesterday, I was observing my fellow disciples practicing and suddenly had an inspiration."

"Although I have learned many techniques, I lack a true, decisive offensive art."

Ye Xuan respectfully bowed.

After speaking.

Ye Xuan also revealed a harmless smile.

"A decisive offensive art?"

"Since you have this aspiration, as your Master, I will teach you a few..."

Hearing Ye Xuan's words.

Tian Buyi's brow twitched slightly, and then he began to ponder.

Ordinary spells would definitely not catch this kid's eye.

It seemed he had to bring out some of his most prized possessions.

"Disciple has heard."

"Our Qingyun Sect possesses four great sword arts that shake the heavens."

"The Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art, the Sword Drawing Azure Dragon True Art, the Slay Ghosts and Gods True Art, and the Seven Stars Sword Art."

"Disciple dares to ask Master to impart these four great sword arts."

Seeing Tian Buyi agree.

Ye Xuan blinked and quickly said.

"Pfft--"

On the other side.

Hearing Ye Xuan's request.

Tian Buyi almost choked on his own saliva.

He widened his eyes and looked at Ye Xuan as if he were a monster.

"What did you say?"

"The four great sword arts? And you want to learn them all?"

Tian Buyi's voice rose by eight octaves, and the dignity of a Chief Disciple instantly vanished.

This kid really dared to ask!

Let alone learning them all.

For an ordinary disciple, just glimpsing the fur of one of them in a lifetime would be enough to walk sideways in the Cultivation World.

Which of these four sword arts wasn't a world-shattering divine ability?

Su Ru, standing nearby, was also stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

However, seeing her husband flustered, she didn't intend to interrupt.

"Cough cough!"

Tian Buyi coughed heavily twice.

With his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth, seemingly thinking about how to strike down Ye Xuan.

But then he thought again.

This wasn't right.

This kid had the Innate Dao Body!

And he was already in the Shangqing Realm!

If ordinary people couldn't cultivate them, it was due to dull aptitude, or their mortal bodies couldn't bear the might of heaven and earth.

But this kid...

If even he couldn't learn them, then no one in this world could.

However...

Tian Buyi's old face flushed, and he felt a little guilty.

The four great sword arts had resounding names.

But the problem was, he, Tian Buyi, wasn't omniscient and omnipotent!

The Seven Stars Sword Art was the Sect Master's exclusive technique, only comprehensible by successive Sect Masters.

The Sword Drawing Azure Dragon was the signature skill of Dragon Head Peak, and that old bastard Cang Song guarded it more dearly than his own life.

As for Slay Ghosts and Gods...

Tian Buyi's gaze became somewhat distant, as if recalling that figure clad in white, as pure as snow, who looked down upon the world with disdain.

That was Senior Brother Wan's swan song.

Besides Senior Brother Wan, no one else in this world could unleash such a fierce and unyielding sword intent.

Although he himself was the chief disciple of Great Bamboo Peak.

He had mastered only the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art, at most.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of his disciple if he only knew one technique?

Tian Buyi stole a glance at Ye Xuan.

The young man looked expectant, his eyes sincere, showing no hint of mockery.

This kid really wants to learn.

"Ahem, well..."

"Seventh, your ambition makes me very proud."

"But these Four Great Sword Arts are profound and extensive, not something mastered in a day."

"You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time."

"Today, your Master will first teach you the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art!"

"This is the supreme mystical art of our Qingyun Sect, drawing the divine thunder of the nine heavens to your command. Its majestic heavenly might is enough to deter all demons!"

"If you can learn this move, you can go anywhere in this vast world!"

Tian Buyi cleared his throat, trying hard to maintain his image as a master.

As for the remaining three moves?

Tian Buyi secretly thought, let's wait until this kid has mastered the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art first.

This thing is obscure and difficult to understand. Just comprehending the true meaning of thunder would take at least three to five years, right?

We'll talk about it then.

The tactic of procrastination was always effective.

"Thank you, Master!"

The smile on Ye Xuan's face became even brighter.

This was what he had been waiting for.

Once this was the starting point, could the other three escape?

After learning the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art, he would then ask for Slay Ghosts and Gods.

His Master, for the sake of face, would definitely find a way.

What?

Wan Jianyi is dead, and Slay Ghosts and Gods is lost?

In Tian Buyi's heart, Wan Jianyi had indeed perished.

But in Daoxuan's heart, it was very clear that Wan Jianyi was still in the Ancestral Hall.

As long as Tian Buyi sought out Daoxuan.

As long as Daoxuan knew that Ye Xuan possessed the Innate Dao Body.

Daoxuan would have a high probability of allowing Ye Xuan to go to the Ancestral Hall to learn the art.

By then.

Ye Xuan would be able to legitimately go to the Ancestral Hall for his sign-in.

Of course.

This was just Ye Xuan's guess.

Whether it would work or not, he would only know after trying.
