On the beach, the three women sat in a row.
Qian Xunji demonstrated Tai Chi Fist Intent in front of them.
"Tai Chi Fist isn't bound by fixed moves. Its essence lies in its intent.
"It can't be comprehended overnight.
"All three of you can learn it. Practice every day, and if you grasp its true meaning one day, it will surely benefit you for the rest of your lives."
The intent of Tai Chi led straight to the fundamental Dao of heaven and earth. It looked simple, but in truth, it was anything but.
The sea breeze blew gently, yet a whirlwind formed around Qian Xunji.
He showed no sign of circulating his Soul Power, yet he could draw on the power of nature. Though it wasn't particularly strong, it was unfathomably profound.
If he used Soul Power to drive it, it would probably be even more terrifying.
Qian Xunji summoned his Soul Power, and the winds and clouds began to turn at that very moment.
Waves rolled in, but they couldn't get the slightest bit closer to Qian Xunji.
Even the clouds overhead were drawn into concentric circles.
The next moment, Qian Xunji thrust out a burst of force. The winds, clouds, and towering waves that had gathered momentum instantly roared forth.
Rumble!
In the sea, waves hundreds of feet high rose with astonishing force.
"What an incredible technique."
Bo Saixi watched it all from afar, growing even more amazed by Qian Xunji's abilities.
This was no longer a simple Soul Skill.
He had directly comprehended the laws themselves.
Why hadn't he become a god yet?
Was it because he wanted... to have children?
Bo Saixi's gaze passed over Ye Qingxian and Ah Yin, and she gave a soft snort.
"Are their talents as good as mine?
"At least I have a god-level Martial Soul."
Bo Saixi was deeply displeased. Did this man not even care about sacrificing her so his women could become gods?
Am I not a woman too?
"Hey, High Priestess, why are you standing so far away?
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you."
Qian Xunji's voice rang out, and Bo Saixi's gaze instantly turned cold.
"No need!"
"I'll teach you hands-on. You only get one chance."
Bo Saixi set her jade feet on the beach. "Fine. I'll consider it payment for your stay on Sea God Island."
Her dignified bearing was flawless, and her long, straight legs were faintly visible beneath her skirt.
A delicate fragrance wafted over. Qian Xunji rolled his eyes. "Your mouth says no, but your body says yes, High Priestess."
"Are you asking for a beating?"
"Who's asking for a beating?"
The two glared at each other the moment they disagreed, but the High Priestess was clearly no match for him and soon backed down.
"Cut the nonsense and teach me!"
"Haven't you been watching for a long time?
"I'll pass you the mnemonic. First, practice it once."
Qian Xunji used his divine sense to pass the mnemonic to Bo Saixi, but she didn't move.
"I didn't learn it."
"Quit playing dumb. You stood over there all morning, and you're saying you didn't secretly learn it?"
"I watched, but I didn't learn it."
The High Priestess kept a cold expression as her fair feet left a trail of footprints in the soft sand.
"You said you'd teach me. If you can't teach me, don't even think about staying on Sea God Island."
Her expression was cold, and she was quite impolite.
Ah Yin blinked her gemlike eyes and exchanged a glance with Ye Qingxian.
"Why do I feel like something's strange?"
"No need to feel it. Something is!"
Ye Qingxian knew far more than Ah Yin. The High Priestess was probably interested in her husband.
She didn't think it mattered. After all, she had never expected Qian Xunji to have only her.
Of course, Ye Qingxian was still somewhat troubled.
She was clearly the one who ate more, so why was Ah Yin the first to get pregnant?
Was she not trying hard enough?
It seemed she had to work harder.
...Original timeline...
Tang Hao looked at the sky screen, wanting to cry but having no tears.
"Ah Yin, my Ah Yin, you... give me back the Soul Bone.
"Our son is ruined.
"How can you be so selfish?
"How could you absorb your own Soul Bone?"
Tang Hao sobbed and wailed. When he was done, he continued on his way.
He returned to Heaven Dou City and found Tang Yuehua, asking her to contact Tang Xiao and arrange a meeting.
As for returning to the sect, he didn't dare.
Sea God Island.
The High Priestess looked at herself in the sky screen, a blush appearing on her face from time to time.
"Hmph, the me from that other space-time really has no shame.
"He says he'll teach you hands-on, and you go right over to him?
"How embarrassing!
"If it were me, I'd plant a foot right on his face.
"If you like him, make your move!
"If I met a man that good, I'd have already made him mine!
"She isn't like me at all!"
Bo Saixi nestled in the hall where the Sea God's statue was enshrined. Her skirt slipped down, and her smooth, fair legs shone in the moonlight.
"He'd better hope I don't go over there. If I did, I'd pin him down on the spot.
"Ah!"
Bo Saixi sighed faintly. No one understood the loneliness of a solitary old woman.
In the stillness of the night, she could only rely on her own hands to get through it.
"Since I'm destined to be sacrificed in the future, what is there left to hesitate about?"
Bo Saixi looked at Qian Xunji in the sky screen and slowly closed her eyes.
Many Soul Masters from the continent's interior had suddenly appeared in Vast Sea City.
These Soul Masters had powerful presences and traveled in groups.
"Are there any ships that can reach Sea God Island?
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has no shortage of money."
Boom!
A Clear Sky Hammer smashed a small boat to pieces, and its owner was kicked half to death. "I'm asking you a question! Which ship can reach Sea God Island?"
Dragon roars rang out as the brothers Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin boarded a large ship under Yu Luomian's protection.
"Brothers of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, could you give us a ride?
"The Upper Three Sects are branches of the same tree."
The Clear Sky Sect members shamelessly approached, only to be driven off the ship. "Sorry, brothers of the Clear Sky Sect, this ship isn't big enough to carry that many people."
"It's all right, it's all right. We'll just seize a ship and follow behind you. All we need is someone to lead the way.
"It's just sailing a ship, isn't it? Easy!"
The Clear Sky Sect members acted overbearingly.
They earned the resentment of the fishermen on the shore.
Just then, a young man volunteered. "I... I know the way to Sea God Island.
"I'll guide the esteemed masters of the Clear Sky Sect."
"Hahahaha! So there are people who know what's good for them, even in this backwater.
"What's your name?
"Hurry up and get aboard!"
The young man nodded repeatedly. "My name's Xiao Heizi. I'm a Soul Ancestor, and I've been going out to sea with big merchant fleets since I was little.
"I've been to Sea God Island to deliver supplies."
"Good, good, good. Xiao Heizi, you really are pretty dark.
"Get aboard. Once our Clear Sky Sect has nurtured a god, you'll get your share of the rewards."
...Sky screen timeline...
Fully comprehending Tai Chi Fist was not something that could be accomplished in a single day.
Qian Xunji also taught everyone the Dugu Nine Swords and the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
The power displayed by these two martial arts looked far greater than that of Tai Chi Fist.
...Original timeline...
"Dugu Nine Swords, Dugu Qiubai!
"This sword art is truly exquisite beyond compare.
"Hahahaha! After watching the sky screen for months, I've finally gained something."
Sword Douluo threw back his head and laughed, sending a sword strike tearing through the air.
"I've comprehended it!
"Today I break through to Level 97!"
Sword Douluo's presence climbed higher and higher.
Within the sect grounds, Bone Douluo stared at him with a look that said, "Fuck this."
"You fucking sword cultivator, you've comprehended something again?
"Fuck, aren't you making a bit too much of a commotion this time?
"How long has it even been since you broke through to Level 96?"
Bone Douluo was numb.
In all the decades he'd known that bastard, he'd never once gotten the better of him.
Their cultivation levels were about the same now, but this bastard could just comprehend something whenever he pleased.
Comprehending something was one thing, but he even broke through.
He'd only just broken through to Level 96-not even half a year ago!!!!
"Hahaha, sword cultivators really do defy reason.
"Qian Xunji in the sky screen is even more astonishingly gifted.
"With just a few words, he managed to help Uncle Jian break through.
"Terrifying.
"Thankfully, he doesn't belong to our space-time."
