Reflecting Taihuang

A scripture cultivated by such an unparalleled figure naturally aroused Jiang Yun's curiosity.

Now that he had two Reflection Points, Jiang Yun wanted to investigate it for himself.

With that thought, Jiang Yun sank his mind into the panel and activated Taihuang's inheritance.

He once again experienced that mysterious, unfathomable sensation, as though he had traveled through time to Taihuang's era.

As stars shifted and the cosmos turned, he arrived once more in that familiar expanse of deep space. This was where he had reflected Emperor Hengyu last time.

Before him, an incomparably domineering figure emerged from the void. Imperial Dragon Qi surged around him, while the Taihuang Sword rose and fell within it.

The entire sea of stars seemed unable to bear such power, as though it were about to collapse. He truly was tyrannical beyond compare.

The illusory figure before him still had his eyes tightly shut. Jiang Yun felt a chill in his heart. As expected of a Great Emperor of the human race famed for his offensive power.

Taihuang had mastered countless scriptures and secret arts. No Great Emperor who reached that position had done so through a single scripture alone.

Rather, they had studied a vast variety of arts and comprehended a Dao uniquely their own from them.

Taihuang possessed as many as five or six complete Emperor Scriptures. Jiang Yun did not know whether Taihuang had sought them out and studied them after becoming an emperor, or had already thoroughly comprehended them before then.

Jiang Yun browsed through them and discovered that both Taihuang and Emperor Hengyu possessed the Solar Scripture and the Lunar Scripture.

He could not help but sigh at the selfless love the Solar and Lunar Human Emperors had held for humanity.

Jiang Yun drooled over the scriptures and secret arts Taihuang possessed, wishing he could take every last one of them.

Unfortunately, he could only choose two. Even if he obtained more Reflection Points in the future, he calculated that he would only be able to acquire four in total.

Therefore, he had to choose carefully. He would not choose the strongest, only the most suitable.

The Taihuang Scripture was undoubtedly essential. It was not merely because Jiang Yun was curious about it.

More importantly, Xia Weier's constitution was best suited to cultivating this scripture.

Jiang Yun suddenly spotted the Lingbao Scripture and was somewhat surprised. Heavenly Venerable Lingbao was one of the nine great Heavenly Venerables from the mythological age and the creator of Nine Secrets: Zu.

A Great Emperor for nine lifetimes, an immortal amid the mortal world—Heavenly Venerable Lingbao had lived for at least four lifetimes.

The Zhu Xian Sword Formation was even more overwhelmingly powerful, and there were rumors that Heavenly Venerable Lingbao had fought his way into the Immortal Domain.

The Zhu Xian Formation Diagram, together with the peerless set of Emperor Weapons known as Lu Xian, Xian Xian, Jue Xian, and Zhu Xian, had left later generations with endless room for imagination.

Faced with the inheritance of the Lingbao Scripture, Jiang Yun was tempted. If he paired it with Nine Secrets: Zu and set up the Zhu Xian Formation Diagram, how much of Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's former glory could he recreate?

Though the Lingbao Scripture was enticing, Jiang Yun ultimately gave it up and reserved his two opportunities for the Taihuang Scripture and Nine Secrets: Xing.

Xia Weier needed the Taihuang Scripture, while Secret of Xing was an excellent trump card for preserving his life.

He would leave the other scriptures for later. For Jiang Yun, who was currently only in the Divine Bridge Realm, most of them were not yet useful.

Jiang Yun thought of Xia Weier, that reserved and timid girl, cultivating the incomparably domineering Taihuang Scripture.

The contrast made him somewhat anticipate what it would look like.

Reflecting these scriptures only allowed him to know their contents.

It was unlike the inheritance of the Dao Scripture on the panel, where he did not merely grasp its contents.

Most importantly, the Great Dao Heavenly Sound had also allowed Jiang Yun to rapidly comprehend it thoroughly.

To cultivate these reflected scriptures, Jiang Yun would still need to study and comprehend them bit by bit himself.

He soon completed the reflection of the scriptures, their contents already engraved deep within Jiang Yun's heart.

It only took a little over ten minutes.

Jiang Yun simply used up his remaining Reflection Point from Emperor Hengyu as well and obtained Nine Secrets: Zu.

Whether for setting formations to kill enemies or crossing the void, Nine Secrets: Zu had an irreplaceable role. Though it could not directly increase combat power,

when it came to preserving one's life, it was in certain circumstances far more useful than Nine Secrets: Xing and Nine Secrets: Zhe.

Jiang Yun looked out of the room and saw Xia Weier in the courtyard, watching Xiao Nannan eat on the swing.

So he called Xia Weier into the alchemy room.

After entering the alchemy room, Xia Weier's little face still reddened when she saw Jiang Yun, even though they had already become Dao companions. She was somewhat shy.

However, after spending so much time together, she was no longer as reserved as she had been at first.

"Weier, stop cultivating the technique passed down by the Heavenly Cave. I will teach you a method; cultivate this from now on."

Jiang Yun stared at Xia Weier's flawless skin, jade-like bones, and exquisite features, and could not help feeling like having breakfast.

"Mhm, then I'll switch to cultivating the technique my husband gives me."

Xia Weier's voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum, especially when she said the word "husband."

If Jiang Yun had not broken through to the Divine Bridge Realm, he probably would not even have heard her clearly.

"What did you call me just now? I didn't hear it clearly!" Jiang Yun could not resist teasing her.

"Husband." Xia Weier gathered her courage, looked at Jiang Yun, and addressed him.

"My Weier is such a good wife."

After some time, Xia Weier fled the alchemy room while straightening her clothes.

To pass on a technique, of course they needed some intimate contact to ensure Xia Weier could fully comprehend it.

"I'll come check your cultivation progress tonight. Don't close the door."

Jiang Yun's voice came from inside the room, and Xia Weier ran even faster.

Jiang Yun had merely passed the Taihuang Scripture on to Xia Weier.

The scriptures cultivated by these ordinary disciples were not even the incomplete Dao Scripture cultivated by Immortal Seedlings, but an even more ordinary cultivation method.

He passed the Taihuang Scripture on to Xia Weier, but did not tell her its name.

Xia Weier was very obedient and did not ask further questions. She believed her husband would not harm her.

Jiang Yun had long since passed the Dao Scripture on to Jiang Shuanglan as well.

However, with Jiang Shuanglan's current aptitude, her cultivation of the Dao Scripture had not been ideal.

Jiang Yun still needed to improve her aptitude before she could go farther in the future.

Over the following days, Jiang Yun became even busier. With two Dao companions,

he could not neglect either of them, so he could only alternate between them every other day.

His nightly cultivation also returned to five times. If Divine Spring Fluid had not replenished him, Jiang Yun felt he would have been drained dry.

With an ample supply of resources, Jiang Shuanglan should not be far from the Life Spring Realm either.

Thus, a month gradually passed, and Jiang Yun adapted to this rhythm.

He occasionally studied scriptures and secret arts, but devoted most of his effort to cultivation and raising his realm.

Great combat power could certainly allow one to kill enemies above one's realm, but if he could suppress them with his cultivation realm, fighting downward was undoubtedly more stable.

Jiang Yun had a sufficient understanding of the Dao Scripture, while his constitution continued to improve.

Nourished by Divine Spring Fluid, there was naturally no concern of an unstable foundation from advancing too quickly, because his foundation was constantly strengthening.

With his comprehension of the Dao Scripture as a foundation, understanding one method illuminated countless others, allowing him to comprehend some of the other scriptures and secret arts as well.

Jiang Yun was even more talented in his comprehension of Nine Secrets: Zu.

As for Nine Secrets: Xing and Nine Secrets: Zhe, he could only barely use them.

That day, Jiang Yun received a message from a disciple within the Heavenly Cave.

Chen Yu had taken her younger brother Chen Feng out in search of opportunities.

Even disciples of the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm wanted to try their luck at the appearance of Qing Emperor's Tomb?
