Public Guidance! Cultivation Breakthrough!

Public Guidance! Cultivation Breakthrough!

Night, Tongtian Peak.

A gentle breeze drifted past, rustling the branches and leaves in the forest with a soft swishing sound.

Ji Changfeng lay in a hammock woven from the Amber Vermilion Ribbon, quietly gazing at the pitch-black night sky, seemingly lost in thought...

It was now the fifth day of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament.

He had just finished the third round of matches today.

He had successfully entered the top eight.

Once he finished the fourth match tomorrow, he would advance into the top four.

Whoosh—

Just then, Ji Changfeng seemed to sense something.

Without drawing attention to it, he turned his head to look.

On the Sea of Clouds ahead, a Cold Girl holding Tianya silently appeared beneath the moonlight.

Lu Xueqi stood quietly there, like a white lotus beneath the moon. She wore a flowing white dress, its hem gently fluttering in the breeze as though she might drift away with the wind at any moment.

Moonlight fell upon her, outlining her in a hazy glow. Her skin was fair as snow, while her eyes carried a trace of cool detachment.

Lu Xueqi had not wanted to come.

Because...

She had realized that her recent encounters with Ji Changfeng seemed a little too frequent.

On the first night, unable to sleep, she had gone out for a walk and happened to run into Ji Changfeng.

On the second night, bothered by the noisy surroundings, she had gone out to clear her mind and likewise "happened" to run into Ji Changfeng.

On the third night, by coincidence.

On the fourth night, by coincidence.

And tonight, Lu Xueqi had not planned to come out.

But one of her senior sisters had kept begging her.

She said that tomorrow's opponent would be Ji Changfeng and hoped Lu Xueqi would ask him for a favor, asking him to hold back a little tomorrow...

So that she would not lose too embarrassingly.

She had no choice.

That was why Lu Xueqi had come out, to see whether she might "happen" to encounter Ji Changfeng and plead on her senior sister's behalf.

Well?

She really had "happened" to run into Ji Changfeng.

Ji Changfeng noticed the Cold Girl on the Sea of Clouds.

He lightly waved to her.

It could not be helped.

Nai Qi was just that kind of person.

If you did not take the initiative to call her over, she would only stand silently atop the Sea of Clouds, quietly watch you for a while by herself, then leave without a sound...

Ji Changfeng had already figured that out.

Thus, during his nightly meetings with Lu Xueqi, he more or less took the initiative.

Rustle—

The breeze blew, sending her skirts fluttering.

The cold girl holding the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword slowly walked over and sat beside him.

"Sit." Ji Changfeng casually pointed to the spot beside him.

Hearing this, Lu Xueqi did not hesitate. She reached out to smooth her skirt, then reservedly sat on the hammock made from the Amber Vermilion Ribbon.

Once people grew familiar with each other, they no longer hesitated.

People were all like that.

The two leaned against the hammock, their gazes turned toward the night sky.

For a time, silence filled the air.

But after a moment, Lu Xueqi suddenly spoke. Her voice was cool, carrying a trace of distance.

"Your opponent tomorrow is my senior sister."

"Hmm?" Ji Changfeng turned his head slightly. He did not feel that the girl before him possessed any so-called "distance." On the contrary...

He felt she was quite easy to approach.

Perhaps it was because they had spent so much time together?

"I won't hit too hard tomorrow," Ji Changfeng said softly.

In his recent matches,

he had always defeated his opponents with a single Sword Intent before leaving with effortless composure...

Such conduct did indeed make some prideful people feel rather humiliated.

"Mm." Lu Xueqi nodded lightly.

She sat there for a while longer.

Only when the bright moon hung high overhead did she rise and leave.

Ji Changfeng watched Lu Xueqi's departing figure, feeling utterly content.

He had to admit it.

This kind of life was quite nice.

With a beauty by his side, it surpassed countless pleasures in this world.

The next day.

Tongtian Peak, on the arena.

Ji Changfeng stood in white robes with his hands behind his back. A sharp Sword Intent glinted in his eyes, and his whole person brimmed with spirit, like a sharp sword yet to leave its sheath.

"Xiaozhu Peak's Su Yi requests Junior Brother Ji's guidance."

Across from him, a woman spoke with a smile.

She had soft, pretty features and a hint of cunning in her eyes. Though she was not as beautiful as Lu Xueqi or Tian Ling'er, she was still quite lovely.

"Dazhu Peak's Ji Changfeng requests Senior Sister Su's guidance." Ji Changfeng cupped his hands slightly.

Su Yi noticed that he carried no Artifacts, but she did not mind in the slightest.

After all, she knew exactly what she was capable of.

Even if Ji Changfeng did not use an Artifact,

he could still crush her with ease.

"Junior Brother Ji, be careful~" Su Yi's expression turned slightly serious.

Holding her Artifact, she charged straight at Ji Changfeng.

Whoosh—

The Artifact gleamed with a sharp radiance.

Ji Changfeng's expression did not change.

With his hands still behind his back, he flashed aside.

He directly evaded the attack.

Boom—

At the same time, Ji Changfeng flicked his finger.

A moderate Azure Serpent Sword Intent erupted.

It shot toward Su Yi in an instant.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Su Yi's expression changed slightly.

She knew very well how powerful Two Sleeves of Azure Serpents was.

Thus, she did not dare underestimate him.

She hurriedly raised her Artifact and cast a spell to block it.

Bang—

The spell successfully blocked the Azure Serpent Sword Intent.

Su Yi was slightly stunned by the sight.

Just like that...

She had blocked it so easily?

Su Yi looked at Ji Changfeng's calm expression and immediately understood that he was going easy on her.

Oh, no, he was practically holding back an ocean.

Otherwise, with her Jade Pure Sixth Layer cultivation, how could she possibly block Ji Changfeng's Azure Serpent Sword Intent?

A smile appeared on Su Yi's face.

It seemed Junior Sister Lu's "plea" last night had worked.

Her gaze swept beneath the arena, where she saw Lu Xueqi holding Tianya.

Su Yi playfully winked at her.

Whoosh—

At that moment, a streak of sword light flashed.

The pale green Sword Intent suddenly revealed a thread of killing intent and shot straight toward Su Yi's face.

"Not good!"

Su Yi's expression changed at once.

Seeing her frantically struggle to block it, Ji Changfeng could not help reminding her, "Embrace the One and Guard the Origin!"

He could tell that this senior sister from Xiaozhu Peak stood at a critical threshold. With only a little guidance, she could step into the Jade Purity Seventh Layer...

Thus, Ji Changfeng wanted to give her a hand.

Hearing this, Su Yi froze for a moment, but she quickly understood Ji Changfeng's meaning and was overjoyed.

She immediately followed his instructions, calming her mind and embracing the One to guard the Origin.

The next moment, the Azure Serpent Sword Intent struck again.

At the same time, Ji Changfeng's calm voice followed.

"Attain utmost emptiness, maintain steadfast stillness."

"Let the heart unite with intent, intent unite with qi, and qi unite with strength!"

Listening to Ji Changfeng's guidance, Su Yi continuously swung the Artifact in her hand. Brilliant light blocked the Sword Intent surging in from all around...

Whoosh!

In a daze, her mind gradually became one.

Heart, intent, qi, strength, and spirit slowly merged into one. A brand-new realm quietly appeared before her.

Jade Purity Seventh Layer!

Boom—

In an instant, massive amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy gathered around her.

At that moment, Ji Changfeng also dispersed the surrounding Sword Intent.

This scene

immediately drew everyone's attention.

The Qingyun Disciples watched Su Yi with envy. She had broken through just like that?

Jade Purity Seventh Layer! Cultivation at this level qualified one as an elite disciple throughout the entire Qingyun Sect.

At the same time, everyone could not help glancing at Ji Changfeng.

A few casual words of guidance had helped someone break through to the Jade Purity Seventh Layer? Could it be...

Had this Monster-level Genius truly broken through to the Supreme Purity Realm?

Beneath the arena.

Lu Xueqi's expression remained impassive.

Yet inwardly, she was somewhat surprised...

Did he guide Senior Sister Su because of me?

Lu Xueqi pondered silently.
