Xiao Yao asked, a little dazed, "Master, you don't know it either? Shouldn't you know at least a little bit?"
If it were any other master, they would have been enraged at this moment and would have used words to defend their dignity as a master.
But Dongfang Xuetong frankly nodded and, without feeling the slightest shame, opened her rosy lips.
"I don't understand the ancient script on here, so naturally, I can't cultivate its mysteries."
Xiao Yao immediately understood and quickly said, "Master, I feel like I can understand it. Can you let me learn it?"
"Really?" Dongfang Xuetong's face lit up with joy.
She then remembered what Sister Susu had said earlier and realized that Xiao Yao might actually be able to understand it, so she readily agreed, "Of course."
After receiving permission, Xiao Yao strode forward, took the ancient bone in his right hand, which was suspended in the air, and silently recited, "System, can you analyze it now?"
[Beep! Analysis has begun, please wait a moment, host]
Xiao Yao immediately put on a serious expression as if he were studying it intently.
Fifteen minutes later.
[Beep! Analysis complete. This Quasi-Immortal tier spell is called Selflessness. It can quickly allow one to enter an extremely focused state, free from the interference of all worldly things. Upon activation, it can increase strength by 20 times.]
20 times the strength?
A flicker of surprise flashed in Xiao Yao's eyes, a surprise that Dongfang Xuetong happened to notice.
"Disciple, have you discovered something?"
Xiao Yao nodded slightly and said, "I've finished translating it all!"
Dongfang Xuetong was silent for a moment. She had only tried it out of curiosity and hadn't expected Xiao Yao to actually be able to translate it.
"Disciple, quickly tell me what is written on this bone."
Hearing his master's urging, Xiao Yao did not hesitate and began to read aloud, "This spell is called Selflessness!"
"Heaven and Earth's myriad laws, the root of the world. Cross countless eons, attain my Great Dao. The nine heavens and ten earths, only I am supreme..."
Dongfang Xuetong's eyes were like torches, her spirit soaring, as if she had already gained great insight.
After Xiao Yao finished, he curiously asked, "Master, have you learned it already?"
"No, I just felt deeply moved upon hearing it, but I can't understand the power contained within these words for now," Dongfang Xuetong admitted frankly.
Whoosh!
The ancient bone transformed into a stream of divine, ethereal light and shot directly into Xiao Yao's mind.
Afterward, the text on the bone erupted with dazzling golden light, and one character after another flew out.
After being reassembled, a completely different combination appeared in Xiao Yao's mind.
"Could this be the true incantation for Selflessness?" Xiao Yao wondered uncertainly.
[Beep! The host's guess is correct]
Xiao Yao no longer hesitated. He silently recited the incantation, and instantly, his entire body was covered in a faint silver-white glow.
Dongfang Xuetong's beautiful eyes narrowed. She watched and felt it with a serious expression, her voice filled with astonishment, "Your aura is 20 times stronger than before. You already possess the power of the Ninth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm peak."
Currently, although Xiao Yao had learned the Primordial Sword Art, he had not yet entered the first realm of cultivation – the Mortal Transformation Realm.
Yet, even so, with the enhancement of Selflessness, his strength had reached the Ninth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm peak cultivation. This was truly terrifying.
It also demonstrated how powerful Quasi-Immortal tier spells were.
Xiao Yao opened his eyes. He felt filled with an unprecedented power.
"Disciple, this spell, Selflessness, can increase your power by 20 times?"
Facing Dongfang Xuetong's question, Xiao Yao shook his head slightly and, without playing coy, stated directly, "It's not 20 times the power, but 20 times the strength."
"20 times the strength?" Dongfang Xuetong's eyes showed disbelief.
Spells that directly increased strength did exist, but the strongest Emperor tier spell she knew of could only increase strength by 10 times.
"Yes, Master!" Xiao Yao affirmed solemnly.
Dongfang Xuetong was incredibly excited. If she could learn this spell, Selflessness, wouldn't she soar?
At that point, she might even be able to contend with, or perhaps even crush, the strongest person in this world, Sister Susu.
Her mind was filled with visions of the future.
"Disciple, you should cultivate diligently. I will go and comprehend this spell, Selflessness."
Seeing Dongfang Xuetong about to turn away, Xiao Yao quickly said, "Master, the previous incantation wasn't the real one. I'll tell you the true incantation now."
Dongfang Xuetong's expression slightly stiffened. No wonder she hadn't felt anything just now!
Ending her thoughts, she immediately responded softly, "Okay!"
After Xiao Yao told Dongfang Xuetong the incantation, she gained some insight but did not learn it immediately.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how powerful the Chaos Body truly was; as long as it had the correct incantation, it could be learned instantly.
"Disciple, we'll stop here for today. You might not be able to digest any more."
Xiao Yao nodded, he felt the same way and also understood that his Master was eager to comprehend the Quasi-Immortal tier spell, Selflessness.
If he disagreed now, it would be going against his Master.
Going against his Master meant going against his future self; he didn't want to be given a hard time by his Master.
"Master, I'll take you to a secluded spot in the courtyard to cultivate."
A moment later, Xiao Yao brought Dongfang Xuetong to a bamboo pavilion.
Gurgling streams flowed around them, and the rock gardens and verdant bamboo exuded a pastoral charm, making one feel at one with nature and incredibly at ease.
After settling his Master, Xiao Yao returned to his own residence, sat cross-legged on his wide, soft bed, and took out a Low-grade spirit stone from his System space.
After circulating the Primordial Sword Art for fifteen minutes, the Low-grade spirit stone lost all its luster, leaving only a crystal-clear shell.
Xiao Yao then took out 30 Low-grade spirit stones and continued to cultivate.
Seven and a half hours later, all the Low-grade spirit stones had turned into shells, and Xiao Yao's cultivation had advanced to the First level of the Mortal Transformation Realm peak.
As far as he knew, Xiao Ting, who possessed hidden Saint tier cultivation potential, had spent ten days to reach the first level of the Mortal Transformation Realm.
He had reached the First level of the Mortal Transformation Realm peak in less than eight hours, which was truly too fast!
The Chaos Body is truly powerful!
"Haa..."
Xiao Yao yawned, feeling sleepy. He ended his meditation, pulled up his thin blanket, and rested his head on the moderately soft pillow.
Another hour passed.
In the bamboo pavilion, a faint silver-white light emanated from Dongfang Xuetong's body.
If she hadn't suppressed her aura, the entire world would have felt the terrifying power of her strength increasing by 20 times.
After canceling the spell, she slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air from her delicate lips and murmured, "I didn't expect this spell, Selflessness, to increase my strength by 20 times as well."
Her eyes flickered, and after a moment, she spoke again, "It seems this should be a Quasi-Immortal tier spell. Only something higher than the Emperor tier can truly increase my strength by 20 times."
"He can decipher the ancient texts of the chaotic era; it truly wasn't a mistake to take this disciple. Now, let's see if my other clones have taken disciples with Emperor tier cultivation potential?"
After a thought, Dongfang Xuetong's expression became serious because none of her clones in the Southern Wilderness Domain had received disciples with Emperor tier cultivation potential.
She knew very well that disciples with Emperor tier potential were hard to find, but to have none in the vast Southern Wilderness Domain was indeed somewhat unbelievable.
Thinking about how she had taken in Xiao Yao, who possessed the Chaos Body, as her disciple, was it good luck, or was it time for her and Xiao Yao's destiny to intertwine?
Dongfang Xuetong felt it was the latter, and a smile of happiness bloomed on her exquisitely beautiful face.
Therefore, she should dote on this disciple even more in the future.
Yes, that's how it should be.
Swish!
She stood up, tore through space with a thought, and appeared on the bed where Xiao Yao was sleeping soundly.
With just a glance, Dongfang Xuetong was captivated by Xiao Yao's handsome, youthful face, which had not yet lost its childish charm.
In a few more years, he would surely grow into a very handsome man.
Suddenly, she remembered the Nourishing spell, which allowed the recipient to gain a comprehensive improvement in swordsmanship through close proximity.
Thinking that Xiao Yao hadn't arranged accommodation for her either, she lay down directly to his left.
The next morning.
Through the gauze window, a gentle breeze entered the spacious room, caressing the young man's handsome face and the girl's beautiful, ethereal countenance.
Xiao Yao turned to his left, and a refreshing, delicate feminine fragrance filled his nostrils.
So fragrant! It smells so good!
Wait! I don't keep flowers, so how could there be such a natural scent?
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Dongfang Xuetong's profile, her beautiful eyes closed.
Why did Master get into my bed?
Did Master make a move on me last night?
But I'm still just a child!
He cried out in despair in his heart, but why did Xiao Yao feel even more excited?
At this moment, he saw his Master slowly open her eyes, so he decided to strike first and shouted loudly, "I... I'm not clean anymore!"
