I'm Not Pure Anymore

Xiao Yao asked in a daze, "Master, you can't either? Shouldn't you at least know a little?"

If she had been any other master, she would have flown into a rage out of embarrassment and then defended her dignity as a teacher with words.

Dongfang Xuetong, however, nodded bluntly. Without the slightest trace of shame, she parted her red, plump lips.

"I can't understand the ancient script written here, so naturally I can't cultivate the mysteries contained within."

Xiao Yao understood at once and hurriedly said, "Master, I feel like I can understand it. So can I learn this?"

"Really?" Dongfang Xuetong's face lit up with joy.

Then she recalled what Sister Susu had said earlier. Realizing that Xiao Yao might truly be able to understand it, she readily agreed. "Of course."

After receiving permission, Xiao Yao strode forward. He grasped the ancient bones floating in the air with his right hand and silently asked, System, can you analyze it now?

[Beep! Analysis has begun. Please wait a moment.]

Xiao Yao immediately put on an earnest expression as he examined it.

A quarter of an hour later.

[Beep! Analysis complete. This Quasi-Immortal tier spell is called No-Self. It can rapidly bring a person into an extremely focused state of mind, free from the interference of all things in the world. Once activated, it can increase one's strength twentyfold.]

Twentyfold strength?

A flicker of surprise passed through Xiao Yao's eyes, and Dongfang Xuetong happened to notice it.

"Disciple, did you discover something?"

Xiao Yao nodded slightly. "I've finished translating everything!"

Dongfang Xuetong fell silent for a moment. She had only intended to give it a try and had never expected Xiao Yao to actually be able to translate it.

"Disciple, quickly tell me what's written on these bones."

Hearing his master urge him on, Xiao Yao did not hesitate. He immediately began reading aloud. "This spell is called No-Self!"

"All the laws beneath Heaven and Earth, the source of the world. Cross billions of tribulations and prove my Great Dao. Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I alone reign supreme..."

Dongfang Xuetong's gaze blazed like a torch, her spirits soaring, as though she had already gained tremendous insight.

After finishing, Xiao Yao asked curiously, "Master, have you learned it already?"

"No. It moved me deeply when I heard it, but for now, I can't comprehend the power contained within these words." Dongfang Xuetong answered frankly.

Whoosh!

The ancient bones transformed into a strange, radiant streak of light and shot directly into Xiao Yao's mind.

Afterward, the characters on the bones burst into dazzling golden light, and one character after another flew out.

After being rearranged and rematched, a completely different combination appeared in Xiao Yao's mind.

Could this be the true incantation of No-Self? Xiao Yao wondered uncertainly.

[Beep! The host's guess is correct.]

Xiao Yao no longer hesitated. He silently recited the incantation, and a faint silver-white radiance immediately enveloped his entire body.

Dongfang Xuetong's beautiful eyes narrowed. After watching and sensing him with a solemn expression, she said in astonishment, "Its aura is twenty times stronger than before. It already possesses the power of the Ninth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm peak."

At present, Xiao Yao had already learned the Primordial Sword Art, but he had yet to step into the first realm of cultivation—the Mortal Transformation Realm.

Even so, with No-Self's enhancement, his strength had already reached the cultivation level of the Ninth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm peak. It was truly terrifying.

It also showed just how powerful a Quasi-Immortal tier spell was.

Xiao Yao opened his eyes. He felt as if his entire body were filled with powerful strength he had never possessed before.

"Disciple, can this No-Self spell increase your strength twentyfold?"

Faced with Dongfang Xuetong's question, Xiao Yao shook his head slightly and answered frankly instead of keeping her in suspense. "It doesn't increase my strength twentyfold. It increases my overall power twentyfold."

"Twentyfold overall power?" Dongfang Xuetong looked incredulous.

Spells that directly increased one's overall power did exist, but the strongest Emperor tier spell she knew of only increased it tenfold.

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Yao affirmed solemnly.

Dongfang Xuetong was incomparably excited. If she learned this No-Self spell, wouldn't she soar into the heavens?

When that time came, even against the strongest person in this world, Sister Susu, she might possess the strength to fight her. She might even crush her opponent.

At that moment, her mind was filled with longing for the future.

"Disciple, cultivate properly from now on. I'm going to comprehend this No-Self spell."

Seeing Dongfang Xuetong about to turn around, Xiao Yao hurriedly said, "Master, the incantation from earlier wasn't the real one. I'll tell you the true incantation now."

Dongfang Xuetong's expression froze slightly. No wonder she had felt nothing just now!

Putting those thoughts aside, she immediately answered softly, "All right!"

After Xiao Yao told Dongfang Xuetong the incantation, she gained some insight but did not learn it immediately.

He could not help sighing inwardly at how powerful the Chaos Body truly was. As long as one had the correct incantation, one could learn it in an instant.

"Disciple, that's enough instruction for today. You may not be able to digest any more."

Xiao Yao nodded. He felt the same way, and he also understood that his master was itching to comprehend the Quasi-Immortal tier spell—No-Self.

If he disagreed at a time like this, he would be making things difficult for his master.

Making things difficult for his master meant making things difficult for his future self. He had no desire to be given the cold shoulder later.

"Master, I'll take you to a secluded place in the courtyard to cultivate."

A while later, Xiao Yao brought Dongfang Xuetong to a bamboo pavilion.

Gurgling water flowed all around them. Artificial mountains and emerald bamboo displayed a rustic pastoral scene, making one feel as though they had merged with nature. It was incomparably pleasant.

After settling his master in, Xiao Yao returned to his residence. He sat cross-legged on the broad, soft bed and took a Low-grade spirit stone out of his system space.

After the Primordial Sword Art circulated for a quarter of an hour, the Low-grade spirit stone lost all its luster, leaving behind only a crystal-clear shell.

Xiao Yao then took out thirty Low-grade spirit stones and continued cultivating.

Seven and a half hours later, all the Low-grade spirit stones had turned into crystal shells, and Xiao Yao's cultivation had advanced to the peak of the first level of the Mortal Transformation Realm.

According to what he knew, Xiao Ting, who possessed hidden Saint tier cultivation aptitude, had taken ten days just to reach the first level of the Mortal Transformation Realm.

He had cultivated to the peak of the first level of the Mortal Transformation Realm in less than eight hours. He was simply too fast!

The Chaos Body really was powerful!

"Ha..."

Xiao Yao yawned as drowsiness overcame him. He ended his meditation, covered himself with a thin quilt, and rested with his head on a pillow of moderate softness.

Another hour passed.

Inside the bamboo pavilion, a faint silver-white radiance emerged from Dongfang Xuetong's entire body.

If she had not suppressed her aura, the entire world would have felt the terrifying aura of her twentyfold increase in power.

After ending the spell, she slowly exhaled a breath of stale air from her jade-like lips and murmured, "I didn't expect this No-Self spell to increase my overall power twentyfold as well."

Her eyes flickered between light and shadow. After a while, she spoke again. "It seems this should be a Quasi-Immortal tier spell. Only something above the Emperor Tier could truly increase my overall power twentyfold."

"To decipher the script of the Chaotic Ancient Era, this disciple was truly worth taking in. Now, let's see whether any of my other incarnations have received a disciple with Emperor tier cultivation aptitude."

At that thought, Dongfang Xuetong's expression turned solemn, because none of her incarnations in the Southern Wilderness Domain had received a disciple with Emperor tier cultivation aptitude.

She naturally knew that it was extremely difficult to take in a disciple with Emperor tier aptitude, but for the vast Southern Wilderness Domain to have not even one was truly baffling.

Then she thought of how she herself had taken Xiao Yao, who possessed the Chaos Body, as her disciple. Was it simply good luck, or had fate brought her and Xiao Yao together?

Dongfang Xuetong felt it was the latter. A blissful smile unconsciously appeared on her peerlessly beautiful face.

In that case, I should dote on this disciple a little more from now on.

Yes! That's what I should do.

Whoosh!

She rose to her feet, then tore space apart with a thought and arrived at the bed where Xiao Yao was sleeping soundly.

With only one glance, Dongfang Xuetong was captivated by Xiao Yao's handsome, youthful face, which had yet to lose its childishness.

In a few more years, he would definitely grow into a handsome young man.

Suddenly, she remembered that the Nourishing spell could grant the other person an all-around improvement in swordsmanship when they remained in close contact.

Then she recalled that Xiao Yao had not arranged a residence for her, so she lay down directly on his left side.

The next morning.

Through the gauze window, a cool breeze entered the spacious room, brushing across the boy's handsome face and the girl's peerlessly beautiful immortal countenance.

Xiao Yao lay on his left side. Waves of a woman's refreshing fragrance entered his nose.

So fragrant! It smells wonderful!

Wait! I don't grow flowers. How could there be such a completely natural fragrance?

He abruptly opened his eyes, only to see Dongfang Xuetong's profile, her beautiful eyes tightly closed.

Why is Master sleeping in my bed?

Could Master have made a move on me last night?

But I'm still only a child!

He cried out in despair inwardly, yet Xiao Yao felt even more excited. What was going on?

At that moment, he saw his master slowly open her eyes. Thus, he could only strike first and shouted loudly, "I...I'm not pure anymore!"
