In the silent space, all was still. Xie Feng closed his eyes, his palm quietly extending as he slowly practiced the palm technique passed down by the Qilin King.
After an unknown amount of time, the dark lake surface rippled, the space trembled slightly, and a man in black appeared in the distance. Upon seeing Xie Feng, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran over.
"Master!"
What appeared nearby was actually Gu Yu.
Xie Feng opened his eyes and saw that Gu Yu had already arrived. He was panting heavily and babbling, "Master! What are you doing here? What was that blue key? It separated us all! I couldn't see you when I opened my eyes, and it was all pitch black everywhere, it was terrifying! Oh right, it just rained, and there was a lot of energy in the rain. I instantly leveled up to the Indestructible Saint Ancestor! Wow, I've never been this powerful in my life! Non-Self really be the chosen one? Hahahaha!"
When the topic of energy rain came up, Gu Yu laughed heartily, brimming with confidence.
Meanwhile, Xie Feng listened to him while his eyes were slightly closed, his mind racing, and the Chaos Golden Mark disappeared into his brow under his control.
Gu Yu saw it and asked curiously, "Master, what's that on your forehead?"
Xie Feng said, "My Chaos Bloodline has been fully activated. This golden pattern is the power of my bloodline; it can unleash tremendous power at crucial moments."
"Wow! That's amazing!" Gu Yu gasped, then looked around and whispered, "Master, we must keep something this powerful well hidden. We can't let those guys, the Nether Dao Imperial Evil Lord, find out! Although they're nice, we can't be too careful!"
Xie Feng laughed and said, "You've learned to be cautious!"
Gu Yu scratched his head and said, "Hehe, like teacher, like student!"
Xie Feng shook his head and smiled.
Gu Yu circled around, scrutinizing him, then suddenly exclaimed with wide eyes, "Something's not right! I feel something's not right! If I remember correctly, Master, you were Indestructible Saint Ancestor before, and now I've also reached the Indestructible Saint Ancestor realm, so why can't I see through you at all!"
"Because I am a god even more powerful than the Indestructible Saint Ancestor!" Xie Feng laughed arrogantly.
"God!" Gu Yu exclaimed in astonishment, "Isn't this the legendary realm?! It actually exists!"
"The world is so big, anything can happen, believe it?" Xie Feng blinked.
"I believe you!" Gu Yu nodded firmly, his eyes shining as he asked, "Master, now that I am the Indestructible Saint Ancestor, am I close to reaching the realm of a god?"
Xie Feng nodded slightly. "Once you transcend the Indestructible Saint Ancestor, you will reach the Demigod realm. With further diligent cultivation, you will be able to reach the God Realm!"
Gu Yu said, "There are even Demigod! The path of Martial Dao truly has no end; I'm still far from there..."
"Therefore, cultivating with a calm and focused mind, without arrogance or impatience, is the right path," Xie Feng said with a smile.
"Understood!" Gu Yu nodded, then looked up at the space. "Master, have you noticed that time flows faster here than outside? From my observation, time here is at least ten days ahead of the outside world!"
Xie Feng, sensing the passage of time, nodded in agreement, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I hadn't paid much attention before, but now that I've taken a closer look, you're right. In other words, ten days here is equivalent to one day outside... Such a rare place shouldn't be left in a hurry; we must make good use of it!"
Gu Yu asked curiously, "How can it be used?"
Xie Feng asked, " Gu Yu, you've been in the Xuanji Sect for over three years now. What Sword Dao Cultivation Method have you learned?"
"Reporting to Master, it's mainly the Xuanji Sword Art!"
"Now I have an even stronger Swordsmanship. Would you like to learn it?"
"A stronger Swordsmanship?"
" Eternal Sword Dao!"
"Hiss! This... isn't this Master's ultimate technique? Master is going to teach it to his disciple?"
Gu Yu's eyes widened instantly, looking flattered.
Xie Feng nodded with a smile.
He took out a longsword with a bronze scabbard. "This Emperor Beginning Sword is for you!"
Gu Yu accepted the sword with great joy. The sword was drawn from its sheath, its long blade gleaming, its purple-gold hue like clouds, exuding a vast imperial aura. The moment the sword was drawn, its sound was like the tide, and the sun and moon revolved!
"Thank you, Master!"
Gu Yu was so excited that his lips trembled. After sensing it, he realized that the Emperor Beginning Sword was actually Origin Level sword, and he could feel Xie Feng's high regard for him!
" The Eternal Sword Dao consists of six forms: Keeping Watch, Farewell, Final Farewell, Heart Slaying, Dissipation like Smoke, Tracing Back Eternity! The greatest taboo in cultivating the Sword Dao is impetuosity; one must proceed steadily and surely, move by move, first cultivating Sword Intent until reaching the stage where opening one's eyes is becoming a sword, and all things become a sword..."
Xie Feng, with a serious expression, began his earnest teaching. Gu Yu's cultivation had already reached a transcendent level, so even if he taught her everything at once, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of energy.
Xie Feng decided to teach them all at once.
If you are not skilled in Gu Yu, you can practice diligently in private.
A few hours later.
Xie Feng prepared to inspect the results. With a flick of his finger, he condensed energy into a sword, his gaze solemn. "Now, take my sword!"
As he spoke, his fingers moved, and the sword was drawn!
With a single whistle, countless Sword Intent surged forth like a dragon!
Gu Yu's face was tense, and he dared not underestimate his opponent. He hurriedly used the second move of the Eternal Sword Dao to deal with the situation, but he was still powerless to fight against Xie Feng, who was at the God Grade!
Bang!
The Emperor Beginning Sword was knocked away!
Gu Yu was also struck by the Sword Qi, flying hundreds of meters backward before crashing face-first into the black lake!
Xie Feng moved like a phantom, instantly appearing in front of him, and urged urgently, "Get up! Fight again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sword Qi struck again!
Gu Yu's eyes twitched, and he quickly rolled away to dodge the Sword Qi, while instinctively using his Origin Power to condense a defensive shield.
Xie Feng pushed out with a palm, shattering the shield!
"This is a sword fight, why are you using a shield? How can you improve your swordsmanship if you dare not confront me head-on?!"
"Now, fight with the first move! Unleash its power! Don't dodge! You're always too timid! Just go for it, what's with the cowardice!"
"Stand up, and fight again!"
"You're such a useless piece of trash! Still a coward! Still a coward! Are you a spineless wimp?! Use your sword!"
Xie Feng attacked, each strike more powerful than the last, and his words became increasingly sharp.
Gu Yu was under immense physical and mental pressure, suffering repeated defeats. Before long, he was covered in injuries and lay soaking in the black lake water, looking utterly wretched.
Defeated once again, Gu Yu wiped the blood from his face and couldn't help but say, "Master, you were too ruthless!"
Xie Feng stood not far away, his right hand behind his back, glancing sideways at him, and said calmly, "Ruthless, huh? Do you know how I trained you back then?"
Gu Yu shook his head. "I don't know."
Xie Feng beckoned to him with his finger. "Stand up, let me show you."
Gu Yu, leaning on the Emperor Beginning Sword, struggled to his feet from the lake.
Xie Feng's gaze sharpened, and a powerful palm strike rushed out, instantly shattering all of Gu Yu's protective defenses. With a bang, it blasted Gu Yu's physical body apart, leaving only a wisp of a soul!
The Gu Yu is astonishing!
He looked down at his own soul, utterly shocked. "Holy crap..."
