The next day, Ye Xuan slowly walked to the Worry-Free Teahouse, holding Gu Jiuyou's hand.
From a distance, he saw Su Yue already waiting at the entrance, dressed in a plain white Daoist robe, holding a three-foot Qingfeng sword, looking particularly heroic and spirited in the morning light.
"Night Brother! Madam Night!" Su Yue, seeing the two, quickly saluted.
Ye Xuan nodded politely, "Miss Su, you're here so early?"
"Yes, it concerns my lifelong matter, so I dare not be careless!" Su Yue said seriously, her fingers unconsciously caressing the sword hilt.
Ye Xuan secretly glanced at Gu Jiuyou beside him, afraid she would pinch him again.
Ever since the two revealed their identities to each other, this Lord Demon Emperor had become increasingly imposing at home.
A dignified Immortal Venerable naturally wasn't afraid of a Demon Emperor, but who made her his wife?
His family status immediately dropped a notch...
Ye Xuan felt so bitter!
Give me back my gentle and lovely wife, who used to cling to me like a little bird!
This Demon Emperor, who now makes him kneel on the washboard at the slightest provocation, is too terrifying!
Gu Jiuyou, however, was very quiet today, just standing coldly to the side, her silver hair gently fluttering in the wind, her purple eyes exuding an Aura that kept strangers away.
Ye Xuan skillfully set up the tea set and said to Su Yue:
"Miss Su, please tell me about the Cultivation Technique you Cultivate and the Spells you are good at."
Su Yue nodded.
Su Yue nodded and began to introduce herself.
She was currently in the Early Stage of the Spirit Manipulation Realm, Cultivating the Qi Guiding Art, and was most proficient in swordsmanship, having reached the point where she could sense Sword Intent.
"Qi Guiding Art?"
Ye Xuan was slightly surprised; Su Yue's Cultivation Technique was actually the Qi Guiding Art.
This Cultivation Technique was specifically designed for beginner Cultivators, capable of guiding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi slowly into the body, helping Cultivators perceive the existence of Spiritual Qi, and initially incorporating it into the Dantian, thereby laying a solid Foundation for subsequent Cultivation. It was an Entry-Level Cultivation Technique for embarking on the path of Cultivation.
It was one of the most basic Cultivation Techniques!
Ye Xuan was too familiar with this Cultivation Technique!
Seven hundred years ago, it was this ordinary Cultivation Technique that led him onto the path of Cultivation.
Who would have thought that seven hundred years later, this Entry-Level Cultivation Technique was still being circulated.
"It's difficult to raise your Realm in a short time; I'll help you comprehend Sword Intent first."
Ye Xuan waved his sleeve, and Su Yue's vision blurred instantly.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already in a strange space.
Countless Sword Qi flowed like a long river, each containing terrifying power. Just feeling the residual waves of these Sword Qi made it difficult for her to breathe and her legs go weak.
"This... this is..." Su Yue's face turned pale.
"Sword Energy River."
"You can comprehend Sword Intent within the barrier; your life will be safe."
Ye Xuan's voice came from the Void Realm, but without his usual gentleness, it was indifferent and majestic.
Only then did Su Yue realize that she was enveloped in a golden light shield, isolating the terrifying Sword Qi. She trembled as she looked up, only to see countless Sword Qi like a galaxy inverted, each seeming capable of severing mountains and rivers.
Night... What kind of person is Night Brother?
He could actually send her into the legendary Sword Energy River with a casual wave!
Su Yue didn't dare to think further and quickly sat cross-legged, beginning to comprehend Sword Intent.
Inside the teahouse, Ye Xuan took out paper and pen and began to deduce the Qi Guiding Art.
This most basic Cultivation Technique was almost ignored in the Immortal Realm, but Ye Xuan always remembered its kindness.
The Qi Guiding Art was ordinary yet great; almost all Cultivators could access it, and thus many Cultivators were able to embark on the path of Cultivation.
Ye Xuan, who had benefited from the Qi Guiding Art, now wanted to elevate it to a higher level through deduction.
Ye Xuan quickly immersed himself in the deduction of the Qi Guiding Art.
"Qi entering the body, circulating through the Great Cycle..."
At this time, Ye Xuan, who had been an Immortal Venerable for hundreds of years, re-examined the Qi Guiding Art and increasingly discovered its extraordinary qualities.
Almost everyone could Cultivate this Cultivation Technique, not just limited to the Human Race; all living beings in the Human Realm could Cultivate it!
This was very significant!
The Bloodline, Physique, and affinity for Spiritual Qi among different races were not the same. If a Cultivation Technique was not suitable for one's race, it was extremely easy for problems to arise during Cultivation.
At best, one would be injured; at worst, one would suffer Qi Deviation and perish!
Gu Jiuyou quietly watched him; this was the first time she had seen Ye Xuan so serious.
Even fifty years ago, when she led the Demon Race's heavy forces to attack the Immortal Realm, this renowned Immortal Venerable, Ye Xuan, did not appear.
The One Regret Pavilion he left behind trapped Gu Jiuyou, who was then in the Early Stage of the Emperor Realm, for an entire day!
And that was merely an ordinary pavilion where Ye Xuan, who had been missing from the Immortal Realm for fifty years at that time, had played chess with someone...
It became extraordinary simply because it was imbued with the Concept of Ye Xuan and that person playing chess, yet it was this seemingly ordinary pavilion that trapped Gu Jiuyou for half a day!
Although it was partly due to her lack of skill in chess...
Gu Jiuyou initially entered the One Regret Pavilion purely out of curiosity about this Immortal Venerable who had left so many legends in the Immortal Realm.
She pondered the chess game within the pavilion for half a day without understanding it, then casually gave up, and finally spent half a day using brute force to break through the One Regret Pavilion and exit...
Ye Xuan just now must have pulled Su Yue into a Sword Energy River.
A Sword Energy River was not something one could easily encounter; even an Immortal King Realm expert would need an Opportunity to find one.
A Sword Energy River was a great Opportunity for any Sword Cultivator.
There wasn't just one Sword Energy River. Some Peak Sword Cultivators, in order to exchange Sword Dao insights with others or to pass on their own Sword Dao, would typically spend a very long time creating a Sword Energy River.
Sword Energy Rivers, relying on the Great Dao of Swords, were mostly hidden in the Void Realm.
They would only appear when a Sword Cultivator of astonishing talent had an epiphany, pulling the Sword Cultivator in to allow them to comprehend the Dao of Swords.
"Boom!"
A terrifying bolt of lightning, carrying destructive power, struck fiercely towards Ye Xuan!
A clear sky thunderbolt?
No! What kind of ordinary clear sky thunderbolt was this? This was clearly a lightning punishment!
This was a counterbalance from the Heavenly Dao! Anyone who dared to do anything unfavorable to the Heavenly Dao would be punished and restrained by the Heavenly Dao.
Gu Jiuyou gently raised her jade hand and casually waved it, and that terrifying lightning punishment instantly dissipated into nothingness like a bubble.
However, this was only the beginning!
On a clear day, the sky instantly changed color, and dark clouds rolled in!
Hundreds of Immortal Lightning bolts rolled and brewed in the dark clouds!
Each Immortal Lightning bolt possessed the Divine Might enough to severely injure an Immortal Realm Cultivator, even more terrifying than the previous lightning punishment!
In the Human Realm, one's cultivation strength could at most reach the Peak of the Human Immortal Realm. Even other supreme beings from the Six Realms, upon entering the Human Realm, had to actively suppress their cultivation and dared not overstep in the slightest.
Because once the cultivation displayed exceeded the Peak of the Human Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Dao would mercilessly send down Immortal Lightning to completely obliterate them!
The Heavenly Dao is manifest, the cosmos is ordered.
Follow it and prosper, defy it and perish!
And Gu Jiuyou, in order to disperse that lightning punishment just now, had displayed strength that had long exceeded the limits of the Peak of the Human Immortal Realm. This was undoubtedly a challenge to the Heavenly Dao's authority, and the Heavenly Dao's obliteration followed.
However, all of this had a prerequisite, and that was that the Heavenly Dao's Divine Might was above that person...
If that person's strength was so great that they didn't fear the Heavenly Dao at all, then these so-called rules and restraints would be nothing but a piece of scrap paper to her, utterly useless!
Clearly, Gu Jiuyou was one such terrifying existence that did not fear the rules of the Heavenly Dao!
Gu Jiuyou's expression was calm, and with another flick of her wrist, she overturned these hundreds of Immortal Lightning bolts. The lightning layers rolled violently, roaring in anger.
However, not a single new Immortal Lightning bolt brewed forth again.
It was obvious...
The Heavenly Dao clearly knew that these Immortal Lightning bolts could not do anything to Gu Jiuyou!
So, the Heavenly Dao... withered!
