The scriptures cultivated by such a peerless figure naturally piqued Jiang Yun's curiosity.

Now that he had two Reflection Points, Jiang Yun wanted to take a closer look as well.

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

He once again experienced that profound and unfathomable sensation, as though he had traveled through time and arrived in Taihuang's era.

As the stars shifted, he once more arrived in that familiar expanse of deep space. The last time he had reflected Emperor Hengyu, it had been here.

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

The entire Star Sea seemed unable to withstand such might, as if it were on the verge of collapse. He was truly unmatched in his dominance.

The illusory figure before him still had his eyes tightly closed. Jiang Yun's heart trembled. As expected of a Great Emperor of the Human Race renowned for his offensive prowess.

Taihuang had mastered countless scriptures and secret arts. Every Great Emperor who reached that position could not have achieved it through a single scripture alone.

Rather, they had studied a vast range of teachings and comprehended a Dao uniquely their own.

Taihuang possessed no fewer than five or six complete Emperor Scriptures. Jiang Yun did not know whether Taihuang had sought them out and comprehended them after becoming an emperor, or whether he had already thoroughly understood them before then.

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

He could not help but sigh at the selfless love Sun and Taiyin, the two Human Emperors, had shown toward the Human Race.

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

Unfortunately, he could only choose two. Even if he obtained Reflection Points again in the future, he would only be able to acquire four more at most.

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

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

More importantly, Xia Weier's constitution was the most suitable for cultivating it.

Jiang Yun suddenly spotted the Lingbao Scripture and was somewhat surprised. Heavenly Venerable Lingbao was one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables from the Mythic Era and the creator of Nine Secrets: Zu.

Having lived nine lives as a Great Emperor and become immortal in 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, along with Lu Xian, Xian Xian, Jue Xian, and Zhu Xian—the set of peerless Emperor Weapons—left endless room for imagination among later generations.

Faced with the Lingbao Scripture's legacy, Jiang Yun was tempted. If he combined 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 alluring, Jiang Yun ultimately gave it up, reserving his two opportunities for the Taihuang Scripture and Nine Secrets: Xing.

Xia Weier needed the Taihuang Scripture, while Nine Secrets: Xing was an excellent trump card for preserving one's life.

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

Thinking of Xia Weier, that timid and soft-hearted girl, cultivating the incomparably domineering Taihuang Scripture—

The contrast made Jiang Yun look forward to it. He wondered what it would look like.

Reflecting these scriptures only let him know their contents.

It was unlike the Dao Scripture legacy on the panel, where he had not merely gained its contents.

More importantly, the Great Dao Heavenly Sound allowed Jiang Yun to comprehend it thoroughly in a short time.

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

The reflection of the scriptures was soon complete, their contents already engraved deep within Jiang Yun's heart.

Only a little over ten minutes had passed.

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

Whether it was setting formations to kill enemies or crossing the Void, Nine Secrets: Zu had irreplaceable uses. Though it could not directly enhance combat strength,

When it came to preserving one's life, in certain situations it was 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 pill room.

After entering the pill room, even though the two had already become Dao companions, Xia Weier's little face still reddened when she saw Jiang Yun, and she looked somewhat shy.

However, after spending so much time together, she was no longer as restrained as she had been at the beginning.

"Wei'er, stop cultivating the technique passed down by the Heavenly Cave. I'll teach you a method. Cultivate this from now on."

Jiang Yun stared at Xia Weier's flawless skin, jade-like bones, and peerlessly delicate 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 buzz, especially when she said the word "husband."

If Jiang Yun had not broken through to the Divine Bridge Realm, he might not even have heard it clearly.

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

"Husband." Xia Weier gathered her courage, looked at Jiang Yun, and called out to him.

"My Wei'er, such a good wife."

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

Passing on a technique naturally required a little intimate contact to ensure Xia Weier could fully comprehend it.

"I'll come check your cultivation progress tonight. Don't lock 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 ordinary disciples were not even the incomplete Dao Scripture cultivated by Immortal Seedlings, but an even more ordinary cultivation technique.

He had passed the Taihuang Scripture to Xia Weier but had not told her its name.

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

Jiang Yun had also long since passed the Dao Scripture to Jiang Shuanglan.

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

Jiang Yun still needed to make up for her deficiencies in aptitude so that 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 returned to five times. If Divine Spring Fluid had not replenished him, Jiang Yun felt he would have been drained dry.

With an abundant supply of resources, Jiang Shuanglan should not have been far from the Life Spring Realm.

Just like that, a month gradually passed, and Jiang Yun adapted to this rhythm.

He occasionally studied scriptures and secret arts, but his main focus remained on cultivation and raising his realm.

Great combat power could certainly allow one to kill enemies above one's realm, but if one could suppress them through realm alone, fighting from above was undoubtedly more stable.

Jiang Yun had a sufficient understanding of the Dao Scripture, and his constitution was continuously improving.

With the nourishment of Divine Spring Fluid, there was naturally no issue of his realm becoming unstable from improving too quickly, because his foundation had been constantly strengthening.

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

Jiang Yun had even greater talent when it came to comprehending Nine Secrets: Zu.

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

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

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

With Emperor Qing's Tomb appearing, even disciples of the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm wanted to try their luck?
