Fusion, Immortal-Tier Technique: Eternal Life Immortal Art

"However, you must first abolish the Emperor-tier technique Dongfang taught you—the Primordial Sword Art."

Su Tanmeng's voice was heavy. She actually did not want things to be this way, but even she could only focus on cultivating a single technique.

Dongfang Xuetong's expression immediately turned much uglier.

Naturally, she understood such a matter, but she had not thought about it at all before.

Now that she did, she realized that many of the things she would teach Xiao Yao in the future might be replaced by Sister Susu.

Perhaps in the future, Xiao Yao would even be molded into Sister Susu's shape, while she would merely remain the Senior Disciple Master in name.

Bitterness continued to linger and surge within her heart.

After slowly exhaling, Dongfang Xuetong sensed Su Tanmeng's gaze and hurriedly forced a smile, even explaining, "Sister Susu! I'll be fine!"

Xiao Yao was not a fool. He knew that the Senior Disciple Master was surely feeling terribly upset right now.

But he had no solution either, so he silently recited in his heart, System, how can I cultivate Second Master's technique without abolishing the Primordial Sword Art?

[Beep! Host, you can do that right now!]

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was immensely astonished inwardly, then asked, Why can I do it right now?

[Beep! Because you possess the Chaos Body! The Chaos Body is the strongest bloodline in the Human Realm, so naturally it is not restricted by the limit of cultivating only one technique.]

"I see!" Xiao Yao suddenly understood. Then he realized something and voiced his guess inwardly. Could it be that the disciple-taking missions were issued because you knew I could cultivate many kinds of Dao Arts?

[Beep! That's right! But not merely many kinds of Dao Arts—the Three Thousand Great Daos can all be cultivated by you.]

"The Three Thousand Great Daos! Doesn't that mean I need to take that many Masters?" Xiao Yao's mouth twitched slightly. He felt that two Masters were already enough!

[Beep! You do not need that many. As long as you have no more than ten Masters, you can derive the other Great Daos through the Chaos Body, thereby achieving the effect of cultivating all Three Thousand Great Daos at once.]

"No more than ten! Good! Good!"

Xiao Yao let out a sigh of relief. On further thought, whether or not to take new Masters was ultimately still up to him. In any case, even if the system-issued missions went uncompleted, there would be no punishment.

At the same time, Su Tanmeng had already made up her mind. She parted her jade-like lips and said, "Disciple, for now, I will not teach you the Immortal Heavenly Merit."

Xiao Yao instantly turned to stone on the spot!

If Second Master would not teach him the Immortal Heavenly Merit, then how was he supposed to use the Longevity Art to advance to an Immortal-tier technique?!

Fortunately, he had already gotten a clear answer from the system, so he said, "Second Master, I possess the Chaos Body. Perhaps I can cultivate both techniques at once?"

At once, brilliant light flashed in the clear, autumn-water-like eyes of Dongfang Xuetong and Su Tanmeng.

Dongfang Xuetong even cried out in annoyance, "That's right! How did I forget that my disciple possesses the Chaos Body?"

"The Chaos Body is unlike other bloodlines. Perhaps it truly can cultivate two techniques at the same time. But if so, it may not be as strong as cultivating only one technique." Su Tanmeng voiced her new concern.

In response, Dongfang Xuetong directly said, "Sister Susu, didn't I tell you before?"

"Tell me what?" As soon as she said this, Su Tanmeng recalled Dongfang Xuetong's question from over a month ago and instantly came to a realization. "You said Xiao Yao's comprehension was too strong! Then I'll teach him the Immortal Heavenly Merit right now."

In an instant, a very clean book appeared in Su Tanmeng's hand.

After it landed in Xiao Yao's hands, he felt the book directly separate the surrounding spiritual energy while emanating an even more advanced kind of aura.

There was no need to think about it—it was Immortal Qi.

Without further hesitation, he sat cross-legged on the ground, opened the book, and began cultivating.

In roughly ten seconds, Xiao Yao had finished reading the Immortal Heavenly Merit.

But he did not hurry to cultivate it. Instead, he read through the Longevity Art in the system space, wanting to understand why the Longevity Art was the key to advancing the Immortal Heavenly Merit into an Immortal-tier technique.

Under The Way of Prudence Comprehension (Human Realm Max Level), he quickly understood the connection and mystery within.

As enlightenment dawned on him, Xiao Yao began an unprecedented operation, cultivating the Immortal Heavenly Merit and the Longevity Art simultaneously.

One was a quasi-Immortal-tier technique, while the other was an Emperor-tier technique.

For an ordinary cultivator, cultivating even one of them would take an unknown amount of time, let alone cultivating both at once!

Thus, The Way of Prudence Comprehension (Human Realm Max Level) played an enormous role in this round.

An hour later, a faint, proud curve lifted at the corner of Xiao Yao's mouth.

He had successfully fused the two techniques perfectly and completed their rank advancement. What he was now circulating was the Immortal-tier technique—the Eternal Life Immortal Art.

After cultivating this technique, his lifespan would become infinite, indirectly equivalent to becoming an immortal!

At the same time, his recovery speed was exceedingly terrifying.

As long as even a wisp of remnant soul or a drop of blood remained, he could regenerate himself and would not truly die.

Worthy of an Immortal-tier technique—it was fucking powerful!

Su Tanmeng stared at Xiao Yao, her delicate brows, faint as spring mountains, knitting slightly. She felt that things were not so simple.

As someone who cultivated the Immortal Heavenly Merit, she knew very clearly what effects Xiao Yao should display after cultivating it.

So why did she sense from Xiao Yao an aura as though he had already become immortal, containing the immortal bearing and Dao Bone of a transcendent?

After thinking it over and over, the most impossible thought surfaced in her mind.

Xiao Yao had learned the Emperor-tier technique, the Longevity Art, then relied on his exceptionally powerful comprehension to complete its rank advancement, turning it into an Immortal-tier technique.

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Because it was simply too heaven-defying!

Yet that was the truth.

Xiao Yao opened his starry eyes, his entire bearing radiating the aura of an immortal.

The moment he opened his mouth, he saw Su Tanmeng crouching before him, entering his field of vision.

Of course, that was not the main point. The main point was that those towering peaks had landed squarely in his sight, still immensely impactful even wrapped in clothing.

"Xiao Yao! Tell Second Master—have you cultivated the Emperor-tier cultivation method, the Longevity Art?"

Xiao Yao froze slightly. He did not know whether he should tell her or not.

If he told her, could he only say, as before, that his father had given it to him?

If he did not, it was only a matter of time before something like this was discovered!

In the end, he chose to tell her—but not everything. With a look of surprise, he said, "Longevity Art? So the shabby cultivation method my old man gave me was the Longevity Art! I thought it was some trash cultivation method!"

Shabby...

Dongfang Xuetong and Su Tanmeng's mouths twitched incessantly.

Though they did not know what kind of person Xiao Yao's father was, being able to pick up the Emperor-tier cultivation method, the Longevity Art—his luck truly had no equal!

"Did your father cultivate it?" Su Tanmeng asked curiously.

Xiao Yao gently shook his head. "No. He said he couldn't understand a single word of it, and he had no time to study it, so he packed it up and sent it to me through a spirit bird!"

"..."

Dongfang Xuetong and Su Tanmeng were speechless.

From this perspective, Xiao Yao's father's luck was dreadful enough as well.

Still, better to benefit his own son than to benefit an outsider!

"Disciple, although this may be a bit too much to ask... can you teach me the Longevity Art?" Su Tanmeng stammered, looking extremely nervous.

[Ding! Sensing that the Host's Second Master greatly desires to obtain the Emperor-tier cultivation method, the Longevity Art, a mission has been issued: Repay Second Master. Upon completion, you will receive a very powerful reward.]

To Xiao Yao, this merely added flowers to brocade.

"Second Master, I'll directly teach you the immortal-tier cultivation method needed for your advancement!"

The instant those words fell, the excited Su Tanmeng pulled Xiao Yao into her embrace, her towering peaks rubbing fiercely against his somewhat youthful yet handsome face.

"Mmff... mm..."

Though it felt so wonderful and soft, Xiao Yao, unable to breathe, hurriedly circulated his mana and sent out a spiritual thought.

"Second Master, if you keep this up, you're going to smother me to death!"
