Moreover, the appearance of the Sacred Sword Remnant strengthened Ji Haoyue's resolve to pursue the path of the sword.
He even harbored a deep-seated belief that once he had mastered the art of swordsmanship, he would personally go to Green Lotus Territory to wash away the shame.
During the banquet, Su Yu did not interact with Ji Ziyue. Instead, he focused on instructing Ji Haoyue on sword cultivation. They chatted happily, and the two even conjured divine swords to spar in the main hall.
Su Yu's swordsmanship was like water, continuous and unbroken, and although there was no sharpness in his swordplay, it was full of killing intent, leaving Ji Haoyue struggling to defend herself.
With his Chaos Body merging with all Daos, his powerful divine sense at the Immortal Platform Second Heaven, and the killing techniques of the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art and the Flying Immortal Art, Su Yu made rapid progress in the Dao of Sword, making it no problem for him to guide Ji Haoyue.
After the competition, Su Yu pointed out the flaws in Ji Haoyue's swordsmanship, which made Ji Haoyue sincerely admire him and think that Cao Yusheng was a good match for Ziyue.
This subtle and understated approach impressed Ji Tianyao.
Avoid their main force, attack their flanks, and win their hearts and minds.
Now, Xiao Zi is isolated and helpless; what can be done?
It seems the marriage alliance is a done deal!
Chapter 208 Purple Jade Sacred Mark, Cao Ji's Friendship
"My foolish brother, how could you be subdued by this demon? The God King Body and the Ruthless One Lineage are getting along so well. Am I insane, or has the world gone mad?"
Ji Ziyue puffed out her cheeks, wrinkled her delicate nose, brandished her fist, and glanced at her brother with her crescent-shaped eyes. However, she dared not say these words aloud and could only curse him silently in her heart.
This Ruthless One Lineage successor has actually come to their Ji Family! Heaven have mercy, she has been praying that she will never see him again in this lifetime.
The matter of the Purple Mansion Saintess might have been orchestrated by this Heavenly Master Cao!
Is the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body next?
She wasn't worried about herself, after all, Su Yu hadn't killed her in the Bronze Immortal Palace.
"Maybe it's because my source is insufficient, or maybe he wants to raise it up before eating it!" Ji Ziyue comforted herself.
However, the more she thought about it, the more she felt her brother was in danger. After the Four Extremes Secret Realm, his Divine Body had achieved minor completion...
Before long, she was speechless and could only look helplessly at the four people in the center of the hall!
At this moment, Su Yu, the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family, and Ji Tianyao were all explaining the Space Great Dao to Ji Haoyue.
Su Yu even condensed spatial divine runes, transforming them into a Void sword. With a single thrust, the Void shattered, its power boundless, leaving Ji Haoyue in awe.
He exclaimed in admiration, "Back then, I was truly ignorant and narrow-minded, how laughable! Now, having met Brother Cao, I know what a true genius is."
Upon hearing Ji Haoyue's words, Ji Tianyao and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family exchanged a knowing smile, their understanding unspoken.
Even the Fifth Elder of the Ji Family was thinking about other things.
If Fellow Daoist Cao marries Ziyue, there will be a problem with seniority. In the Holy City, all the great cultivators of the Immortal Platform Secret Realm regard Cao Yusheng as their peer, and some even regard him as their senior.
Ji Tianyao and Su Yu were treated as equals, but when they got married, their seniority was determined separately.
I call you fellow Daoist, and you call me Fifth Grandfather.
That's good.
"There was a Saint —no, definitely not Saint. If Cao Yusheng had focused on studying the Void Scripture *, with his talent, he would at least be a Great Saint. To have a Great Saint as a grandson-in-law... hiss..."
Thinking of this, Ji Tianyao became a little arrogant, and his gaze towards Su Yu became even more kind.
After sensing the Phoenix Blood Ganoderma in his Bitter Sea once more, his expression softened considerably, causing Ji Ziyue, who was standing nearby, to feel a pang of fear, wondering if her fifth grandfather might have sold her out.
"My grandson-in-law Cao Yusheng, has the appearance of Great Saint!"
He wouldn't simply assume that Cao Yusheng possessed the qualities of Great Emperor. Their family's ancestor was the Void Emperor, and the family worshipped the Void Emperor Mirror. The words "Extreme Path" crushed the heavens.
The so-called " Northern Emperor " Wang Teng of Northern Plains is nothing more than a boast made by the Wang Clan and the younger generation of Northern Plains. In the vast Northern Plains, there is not even a single extreme power, so how could they understand the weight of the word "Emperor"?
Ji Tianyao stroked his long beard, watching Su Yu instruct his brother-in-law with a very smug attitude. His complexion was ruddy and his skin was radiant, like that of an old man enjoying his retirement.
Subsequently, the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family was instructing Ji Haoyue on the concealment techniques of the Void Great Hand Seal, completely disregarding Su Yu's presence, and Ji Tianyao also turned a blind eye.
Without a cultivation method, no one can learn forbidden divine arts with the naked eye...
It seems that Fellow Daoist Cao has cultivated the Heavenly Eye, but even the Heavenly Eye is useless.
Without the Void Scripture, he could not cultivate the divine power of the Void.
Without the proper technique, the Void Great Hand Seal is nothing but a shell; what is there to fear?
He even hoped that Su Yu would value this forbidden divine technique, understand the power of the forbidden secrets of the Emperor Scripture's Scripture, and be able to form a marriage alliance with the Ji Family as soon as possible, so that he could obtain two drops of the Immortal Divine Medicine to prolong the ancestor's life.
This is also one of the important reasons why Ji Yanzhi and Ji Tianyun tacitly agreed. Among the younger generation in the Eastern Wasteland, Cao Yusheng is the most suitable, but the premise is that he must give up the Source Arts and cannot become Source Heavenly Master.
After their discussion, Ji Haoyue returned home with a wealth of knowledge, his understanding of swordsmanship deepening. He was so excited that he didn't even notice his sister's expression, as if she wanted to devour him.
After the banquet ended, the five people walked out of the main hall. Ji Tianyao smiled and said, " Elder Cao, let's stay here today."
"That seems a bit intrusive! Besides, Princess Ziyue is here, no, no."
Su Yu waved his hands repeatedly, his whole heart set on Ji Ziyue.
The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family advised, "Fellow Daoist Cao is an elder of our Ji Family; there's nothing wrong with that!"
"Brother Cao, please stay here for the night. I'll need to talk to you again Haoyue!"
Ji Haoyue, dressed in purple, had bright eyes and was most enthusiastic towards Su Yu. Su Yu's insights into swordsmanship had completely won him over.
"Then this humble Daoist priest will take the liberty of accepting."
Su Yu felt somewhat apologetic. With a flick of his sleeve, which was embroidered with stars and the Sun-Moon, a faint divine light flickered in the Void. He took out a piece of Purple Marrow Divine Jade the size of his palm and handed it to Ji Haoyue.
The Divine Jade of the Severing the Dao, shrouded in a dazzling purple light, emitted a beautiful glow that reflected in everyone's eyes.
The appearance of the divine jade stirred Ji Haoyue's heart. If he could melt this divine jade into his divine sword, it would greatly increase the power of his natal divine weapon.
After regaining his senses, Ji Haoyue quickly refused. He truly considered Su Yu a friend and could not possibly accept such a generous gift.
and...
Ji Haoyue shook his head helplessly. After that disappearance, his sister seemed to still be obsessed with that Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
Although this made him very unhappy, Ji Ziyue was still his sister.
The Immortal Platform Secret Realm, possesses a fragmented Emperor Scripture, two Immortal Divine Medicine, and Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Sword.
From any perspective, Cao Yusheng was Perfect World and a good match for his younger sister, and he was very satisfied.
However, the future is unpredictable!
Even if Ziyue refuses to submit, he will still stand by his sister's side; he will always be Little Moon's support.
For this reason, Ji Haoyue could not accept this piece of Purple Marrow Divine Jade.
He refused three times, but his attitude was firm.
Ji Haoyue looked directly into Su Yu's eyes, his gaze incredibly clear, and said loudly, "Brother Cao, if you truly consider me a friend, then take back this divine jade."
"As expected of the young master of the Desolate Ancient Family! In that case, I have even higher hopes for you."
Su Yu was somewhat impressed, then the seven-colored fire threads in his hand swept across, transforming into a ball of Divine Flame that burned continuously in the Void, its aura extremely hot, with tiny fragments of space scattering around.
The Divine Flame of the eighth level of the Fire Domain can scorch the space itself!
"Clang!"
The sound of a divine sword being unsheathed startled everyone. The divine sword on Ji Haoyue's back flew out on its own, turning into a dazzling white light and soaring into the air.
With a flick of his sleeve, Su Yu sent the Purple Marrow Divine Jade into the Seven-Colored Divine Flame. In an instant, purple light flowed, rosy clouds filled the air, and Chaos energy swirled around it. Under the burning of the Seven-Colored Divine Flame, the palm-sized Purple Marrow Divine Jade slowly softened, its color becoming incredibly deep and dazzling, captivating all who beheld it.
"Brother Cao! You mustn't!"
Ji Haoyue was shocked and was about to stop this behavior when the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family stopped her, saying earnestly, " Haoyue, Fellow Daoist Cao meant well. Besides, Elder Cao is your elder. One should not refuse a gift from an elder!"
Ji Ziyue also grabbed Ji Tianyao's sleeve, her eyes pleading for his help. However, the Fifth Elder of the Ji Family waved his hands, remaining unmoved no matter how much Little Moon shook him.
"Brother Haoyue, have you forgotten about the Green Lotus Territory incident? This has nothing to do with Princess Ziyue. I hate the Demon Clan the most. Focus on cultivating your swordsmanship, and I will personally help you avenge your humiliation!" Su Yu said sincerely.
"This..."
Under the barrage of words from the three, Ji Haoyue sighed deeply, realizing that there was no way to change the situation, and bowed to Su Yu.
"I am truly honored by Brother Cao's high regard. In the future, should I ever ask for anything, Haoyue will certainly do her utmost to assist her and will never refuse!"
Su Yu nodded slightly. At this moment, the Purple Marrow Divine Jade had begun to liquefy under the burning of the Seven-Colored Divine Flame. With a thought, Su Yu sent drops of crystal-clear Purple Jade Divine Liquid enveloped in divine light, which transformed into the characters of the Holy Path and were imprinted on the blade of Ji Haoyue's silver sword.
"These are divine runes from an ancient scripture I obtained during my travels." Seeing Ji Tianyao staring intently at the divine runes, Su Yu explained briefly.
After the Purple Marrow Divine Jade burned out, he waved his hand and returned the divine sword, which had been slightly bent by the divine liquid, to Ji Haoyue. He decided to leave the actual melting and reforging to the original owner and would not overstep his bounds.
Ji Haoyue accepted the divine sword with a heavy heart. Looking at the ancient divine patterns on the sword, he was somewhat moved. His gaze towards Su Yu became even warmer, just like a brother-in-law looking at his sister's husband, satisfied with everything he saw.
Despite his refusal, it was to no avail, and he ultimately had to accept this outcome.
He sheathed his divine sword and bowed again, saying, " Haoyue is too kind."
Su Yu smiled slightly and said, "No need for that! It was just a small favor. When you return to Green Lotus City, be sure to tell me!"
He was filled with malice as he imagined what would happen!
The three-year period has come to an end, Ji Haoyue has come to pay her respects!
I'll defeat him again then, and let the Big Moon know how treacherous the world is!
Chapter 209 Chaos Cultivation
Inside the palace.
Su Yu sat on the throne in the main hall, with the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family sitting beside him. The candlelight around them was dim and the atmosphere was exceptionally quiet.
A beam of divine light flickered in his hand, flowing with a faint Chaos energy, and even a few Black and Yellow Qi swirled around it, exuding a sharp aura.
Su Yu flipped his palm, the light disappeared, and he said calmly, "Is everything arranged?"
The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family nodded and said, " Ji Tianyao will return to the Southern Region tomorrow, and I will be in charge of the Stone Workshop then! As for the other two Immortal Platform Elders, I plan to send them to Source City to collect this month's Source Stone."
He has now broken through two realms and is only one step away from the Immortal Platform Second Heaven. As a direct descendant of the Ji Family, he holds an extremely high position and is the protector of Ji Haoyue, the current Divine Body of the Ji Family.
If Ji Tianyao leaves the Northern Region, the entire Ji Family Stone Workshop will respect him.
With everything concluded, the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family withdrew from the main hall.
Sensing that his divine essence had been refined by An Miaoyi, Su Yu closed his eyes and smiled.
