Mistress's Assist!

Great Bamboo Peak.

In front of Shou Jing Hall.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning, though small, was undeniably real, striking down from the clouds.

It hit the Chang Qing Sword directly!

Ye Xuan's body swayed slightly, clearly finding it a bit strenuous to withstand the power of the lightning.

But he quickly stabilized himself, forcefully channeling the bolt of lightning into the sword body, and then swung it forward fiercely!

Screech!

A bolt of lightning-fire sword energy roared out, directly striking a large rock not far in front of him.

Bang!

The boulder exploded, sending碎石 flying.

Although he could only be considered to have barely grasped the basics, this was undeniably the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art!

Ye Xuan sheathed his sword and stood still.

His face was a little pale, but his eyes were terrifyingly bright.

Looking at Tian Buyi, who had already turned to stone on the spot.

Ye Xuan grinned, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth.

"Master, I've succeeded."

"So... when are you going to teach me Slay Ghosts and Gods?"

Dead silence.

There was a dead silence in front of Shou Jing Hall.

Only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves could be heard.

Tian Buyi felt his head buzzing.

He looked at his disciple, whose face was full of a desire for knowledge, and felt his throat go dry.

Inside his heart, it was as if a five-flavor bottle had been overturned, with sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty all mixed together.

Happy?

Of course, he was happy!

Taking on a disciple who was a peerless genius was a stroke of immense good fortune!

But...

This was just too damn discouraging, wasn't it?

The ultimate skill he had practiced for many years, and his disciple learned it just by watching once?

And this kid was already chasing after him to learn the next move!

Slay Ghosts and Gods!

Do you think I can teach it just because I want to?

I don't even know it myself!

Tian Buyi's plump face twitched a couple of times.

He tried hard to maintain his master's dignity, but the hand behind his back was trembling slightly.

This had gone too far.

He had already made the promise, saying that if his disciple succeeded, he would teach him whatever he wanted to learn.

How was he supposed to get out of this now?

Could it be that he had to directly tell Ye Xuan.

"Oh, actually, your Master doesn't know Slay Ghosts and Gods either, I was just tricking you?"

If that were the case.

Would he still have any face left?

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Tian Buyi erupted in a violent fit of coughing, his face turning red and his neck bulging.

"That... that..."

His eyes darted around, not daring to look into Ye Xuan's sincere eyes.

"Hmm, not bad, you've indeed got something."

"Although the power is a bit lacking, you've barely managed to touch the threshold."

Tian Buyi forced himself to comment, trying to regain control of the situation.

"But!"

His tone shifted, his expression suddenly becoming extremely serious.

"Seventh,"

"You need to know that you can't bite off more than you can chew."

"This Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art is profound and vast."

"Your sword strike just now, though similar in form, was still far from capturing its essence!"

"The might of this lightning hasn't been fully refined. Look, your hand was trembling just now!"

"This is very dangerous! Extremely dangerous!"

The more Tian Buyi spoke, the more he felt he was in the right, his voice rising in volume.

"If you forcefully try to learn Slay Ghosts and Gods."

"The two fierce sword intents clashing within your body could lead to qi deviation!"

"So, there's no rush for this matter."

"Go back first, practice this Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art until you're proficient, and then we'll talk about the next move."

After speaking.

Tian Buyi didn't wait for Ye Xuan's reaction.

He directly flicked his sleeve and turned to walk back into Shou Jing Hall.

His footsteps were quick, carrying a sense of fleeing in panic.

"Alright."

"Stop gawking, hurry back and consolidate your cultivation!"

"Don't bother this Master for the next few days. I need to... hmm, go into seclusion to comprehend the Heavenly Dao!"

Bang!

The door of Shou Jing Hall closed tightly.

Ye Xuan stood in place, looking at the closed door, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

Master is in a hurry.

It seems this matter of Slay Ghosts and Gods is possible.

As long as Master is in a hurry, he'll have to find a way.

And if he finds a way, who else in Qingyun Sect can solve this matter besides Daoxuan?

"This disciple respectfully obeys Master's command."

Ye Xuan didn't pester further. He bowed respectfully towards the door.

He turned and left, his steps light and quick.

When Ye Xuan's figure had completely disappeared at the end of the path.

Inside Shou Jing Hall.

Tian Buyi slumped into the Grand Tutor Chair.

He looked like a deflated ball, his air of a master instantly vanishing.

"This is killing me..."

"How can this kid be so monstrous?"

"Is the Innate Dao Body just that unreasonable?"

"He learns it after seeing it once? Does he want anyone else to live?"

Tian Buyi scratched his hair, his face full of distress.

"What?"

"Weren't you just very imposing a moment ago?"

"'The majestic power of heaven, wielded by the sword,' you stunned Seventh into silence."

Su Ru walked over from behind.

She poured Tian Buyi a cup of tea, her face shaking with laughter.

"Stop laughing at me."

"What do we do now?"

"You've already said it. If this kid really learns it."

"The next step is Slay Ghosts and Gods."

"Where am I supposed to conjure up Slay Ghosts and Gods for him?"

"If Senior Brother Wan were still here..."

"With this kid's aptitude, Senior Brother Wan will probably be laughing in his dreams."

"Passing down the Slay Ghosts and Gods to him means he'll have a successor."

Tian Buyi took the teacup and shot his wife a displeased glance.

Speaking of which.

Tian Buyi sighed, his expression somewhat downcast.

"Buyi."

"Although Senior Brother Wan... his ultimate techniques may not truly be lost."

Su Ru suppressed her smile.

She sat down on the chair beside Tian Buyi and gently held his large hand.

"You mean..."

Tian Buyi froze and turned to look at his wife.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother."

"Back then, Senior Brother Wan and the Sect Leader Senior Brother were known as Qingyun's Twin Jewels, and their relationship was exceptionally close."

"As for Senior Brother Wan's Slay Ghosts and Gods, even if the Sect Leader Senior Brother doesn't know how to use it, he most likely knows the mental cultivation method and incantations."

"Moreover, Senior Brother Wan's matter has always been a knot in the Sect Leader Senior Brother's heart."

"If he were to know that Great Bamboo Peak has produced an unparalleled genius who can inherit Senior Brother Wan's legacy..."

Su Ru spoke softly, laying out her thoughts.

"Find Daoxuan?"

"I'm not going!"

"If I go begging him to teach a disciple, it'll make me, Tian Buyi, look incompetent..."

Tian Buyi's eyes lit up slightly, but he immediately frowned again.

"Then you teach him?"

"Do you know Slay Ghosts and Gods?"

Su Ru looked at him with a half-smile.

Tian Buyi was choked.

His face turned the color of pig liver.

After a long pause.

He finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "I don't!"

"Then it's settled."

"For Seventh's future."

"And also to... prevent Senior Brother Wan's ultimate techniques from being completely lost."

"What's a little face compared to that?"

"Besides, with Seventh's talent, he'll inevitably attract attention from Heaven-Piercing Peak sooner or later."

"Instead of hiding him, it's better to openly bring him to show the Sect Leader Senior Brother."

"It'll shock him to death!"

Su Ru stood up and patted Tian Buyi's shoulder.

Upon hearing the last sentence.

Tian Buyi's eyes completely lit up.

That's right!

Although it was going to seek guidance, it was also an opportunity to show off!

Look at the disciple my Great Bamboo Peak has taken!

He can learn the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art after just one viewing!

This aptitude is no less than Senior Brother Wan's back in the day!

Compared to our Seventh, those disciples under your Daoxuan, like Xiao Yicai, are all trash?

Thinking this way, the awkwardness in Tian Buyi's heart dissipated by more than half.

He even felt a little excited.

Tian Buyi slapped his thigh heavily and stood up.

"Madam speaks wisely!"

"Let's go now!"

"I'm going to Heaven-Piercing Peak right now!"

"I want to see what expression that old fellow Daoxuan will have when he sees Seventh's talent!"

"..."
