The Great Road of Shading the Sky

Chapter 259 Stealing the Breathing Technique, She Has Me in Her Heart!
Shaohua's meaning is very simple: you must seize your own opportunities. At most, she can only offer some guidance, nothing more.

Even if someone like Yao Yao is in a state of physical and spiritual annihilation, she will only provide a path and opportunity for revival, without interfering too much.

Everyone has their own destiny, and all she can do is guide them onto the right path and onto the right road, rather than forcibly interfering.

If it were her previous life, she might have given more. She was never a stingy person. Back then, when she paved the way and fought against the darkness, didn't she share everything she could give?

But after experiencing many ups and downs, looking back, her personality has actually become much more subdued.

It's not indifference or apathy; it's a calm acceptance of things as they are.

Rather than leading people down a predetermined path, it's better to let them discover the scenery they want to see, allowing each to shine in their own way, with you only needing to offer guidance.

In fact, her guidance has a profound significance and impact.

A single truthful word can truly enable a person to defy fate and embark on the path to heaven.

Of course, she is far from regaining her extraordinary abilities, but at least in this world that is closely related to her, she can indeed make her words come true to some extent.

"Even with the baptism of holy medicine, if one were to break through dozens of shackles in the shortest possible time, it would still be very detrimental to one's life essence."

Yao Yao gently raised her fair, pearly chin, looking at the Kunlun Beast Kings with an expression that said, "You've hit the jackpot!" and said leisurely:

"Therefore, the Celestial Clan has a purpose. This clan has the body of a fish-dragon. When they cultivate to that level, their flesh and blood are even more nourishing than those of divine beasts. It is the most suitable for nourishment and can prevent the troubles and problems left on your bodies."

To be honest, if that calamity hadn't happened in ancient times, she doubted she would have ever come into contact with these low-level demons with mixed bloodlines in her entire life.

To be precise, one must at least reach the Free and Unfettered Realm to be barely considered a minor demon; right now, they don't even qualify as minor demons!

The difference in their identities, status, and talents is simply too great.

Who could have imagined that, thousands of years later, a group of "little demons" would have the opportunity to enter the Land of Gods, and even to pick sacred and divine medicines, and share the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Gods, who are at the level of the Heavens.
All I can say is that time is destiny.

Chu Feng immediately understood that Shao Hua had specially captured a giant of the Celestial Race and kept it in Kunlun Mountain, precisely for this purpose!

A group of beast kings who came from unorthodox backgrounds had many questions they wanted to ask, whether about cultivation or about the current and future situation.

Shao Hua smiled without saying a word, but simply brought out his cheap grand-disciple.

See, this is where the advantage of having people under your command comes in. You don't have to do every little thing yourself. Aren't your disciples and followers just there to be used?

Yao Yao pursed her lips, then taught a decent breathing technique, before discussing common misconceptions about the various cultivation levels, mainly offering pointers.

He also gave a systematic explanation of cultivation theory, which was exactly what these self-taught guys lacked, allowing the Kunlun Beast Kings to understand the realm after the Free and Unfettered.

Awakening, shackles, freedom, then contemplation, consuming the rosy clouds, shaping, golden body, and then sainthood and the reflection of all the heavens.

The scalper knew, but he kept stammering and unwilling to say, afraid of hurting others.

Yao Yao has no taboos. If she hadn't suffered that calamity, the holy position would have been within her grasp, and reflecting the heavens would have been a simple matter for her.

Chu Feng expressed that he wanted to learn some real skills, including breathing techniques and peerless martial arts; he would accept anything.

“Your breathing technique is good. You don’t need to change to another one. You have your own path to follow. There’s no need to repeat mine. Otherwise, I would have just given birth to myself!” Yao Yao said directly.

Chu Feng was moved and began to practice the breathing technique that the yellow ox had taught him, inquiring about its origin.

“I’ve also practiced the Dao-Guiding Breathing Method. On the surface, it seems to be the guidance of the Great Dao.” Yao Yao’s expression was slightly calm, and her smile had faded a bit.

Huang Niu was also surprised, not expecting that she knew about the breathing technique he had mastered.

“Back then, our home planet was ravaged, and this Dao Guide was one of the reasons. There’s a saying that the so-called Dao Guide is also a stolen guide. It’s actually the introduction to a law, but unfortunately, none of us were able to learn the rest, so we couldn’t steal it,” Yao Yao said.

Shao Hua did know that the complete Daoist breathing method was actually recorded on the stone box, but there was no need to mention it now.

Yao Yao hasn't recovered yet, so it's useless to her; but the stone box is on Chu Feng, and he'll have a chance to access it sooner or later, and the part he has now is enough for his cultivation.

As for the oxen and those beast kings, they are actually more suited to the path of divine beasts. What suits you best is the best, and in the end, everyone must find their own path.

"What you have now can guarantee your entry into the Free and Unfettered Realm. I can only tell you that there is another part of the Daoist Breathing Technique in the Qinling Mountains. It would be best if you could obtain it."

"Your grandmaster doesn't want to interfere too much with your path. She has expectations for you. Becoming a second me is meaningless; you must forge your own path."

Yao Yao added at the end, "Well, now many divine sons and holy daughters from beyond the realm have arrived on Earth, so I'll leave it to you to deal with them!"

Chu Feng felt he was being treated differently. Why was he being bombarded with motivational platitudes? But he just couldn't resist it.

For no other reason than that phrase, "She has expectations of you."

One of life's illusions—that she has feelings for me!

"Wouldn't that make Chu Feng an enemy of the whole world?" Huang Niu interjected.

"Ha, the whole world is my enemy? Back then, I was invincible under the starry sky!" Yao Yao glanced sideways, her bright red lips slightly upturned.

She was not only invincible among her contemporaries, but even so-called old monsters and ancient relics were suppressed to the point of having no temper. If she had not been forcibly interrupted by a great calamity, she would have already shone throughout the heavens and become the strongest person in the world.

"What, are you scared? That's a bit disappointing."

"I want to be invincible under the starry sky too!" Chu Feng was provoked and suddenly looked up. How could a man say no?

"Invincibility isn't something you say, it's something you fight for. So what if the whole world is your enemy? You have to believe that I am invincible!" Shao Hua smiled when she heard them talking about invincibility, and quietly appeared to say this.

Chu Feng understood that this was a test for him. If he couldn't get through it, he would definitely disappoint others, and his future achievements would probably be predictable.

"Invincible, fairy sister, you must have been invincible under the starry sky back then." Huang Niu looked up at Shao Hua with a childish voice and adoring eyes.

Chu Feng cursed inwardly, "This ox is deliberately trying to be cute, how shameful and hateful!" Shao Hua was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, reached out and stroked the ox's smooth hair, and chuckled, "You're really wrong about that. When I first debuted, I couldn't be called invincible under the stars. There was one person among them who was a mountain I could never climb over."

Everyone was shocked, even Yao Yao was stunned. Was this reasonable?
"Well, that person is naturally gifted and is also known as the most beautiful woman under the starry sky. I am no match for her," she said seriously.

Thinking of his beautiful, charming, bright and generous mother, he couldn't help but sigh that his father was really lucky. How could he have gotten such a good deal from this guy who had built muscles into his brain?

"There are actually people in the world more beautiful and stronger than our sister? I don't believe it. People back then must have had bad eyesight!" Chu Feng said righteously.

"Is it possible that I played a part in her being invincible, and that the title of 'most beautiful woman' originated from my mouth?" Shao Hua blinked and smiled brightly.

"Because that person is my mother!"

In that lifetime, it was the Western Emperor who attained enlightenment. Under the starry sky, she was invincible and the most beautiful woman. No matter how strong Shao Hua became later, she was the one she could never surpass.

You can't exactly pin your mother down and beat her up, can you? That would be incredibly disrespectful; the image is too horrible to contemplate.

Chu Feng clicked his tongue, "Oh no, oh no, this isn't going to follow the script at all. I've failed at trying to flatter him."

A look of relief appeared in Yao Yao's eyes. So that's how it is. That makes sense now.

"Being invincible under the starry sky is just a small starting point. This world is actually very small. You need to broaden your horizons. What does it matter if you are invincible? Perhaps an enemy will come from the sky at any moment."

"In my time, many people were obsessed with the so-called invincible trend. As a result, a single failure could easily crush a person. Don't take such things too seriously; they are nothing but empty fame."

"It should be known that there have been those who, after a hundred defeats, rose against all odds and ultimately surpassed all their contemporaries to attain enlightenment. Who can be called invincible, and who can claim to be undefeated? Temporary setbacks are nothing. I have always believed that the path of cultivation lies solely in sincerity and perseverance!"

Shao Hua spoke at length, offering a very serious warning. Everyone listened attentively, not daring to be distracted.

At this time, the Holy Master Yichen had returned. Yao Yao's grandfather personally went to pick up this nephew. When old friends meet again, their eyes are filled with tears, and they are overwhelmed with emotion.

"How fortunate we are that we will meet again!" the Holy Master exclaimed.

“We all thought something had happened to you. What exactly happened back then?” Sage Changming couldn’t help but ask.

He wasn't questioning why Yao Yao's grandfather was absent from the ancient war. Everyone knew that unless a major upheaval occurred, it was impossible for him to disregard the lives of his children and grandchildren.

Yao Yao's grandfather sighed and briefly mentioned his own problems.

"You should have some guesses about my origins, but I can't say much. The enemy is too terrifying, beyond imagination. I escaped by accident and then encountered a void rift that appears only once in a millennium, which allowed me to fall into this world and barely survive."

"It's good that you're still alive. By the way, how is your health now?" Chang Ming asked hurriedly.

"Thanks to the help of a benefactor, she is now safe and sound," said Yao Yao's grandfather.

"Is that the divine being who killed a being at the level of reflecting all heavens with a flick of his finger?" Saint Master Yichen guessed something.

“That’s right, but that person isn’t actually a god-level being as you imagine. Strictly speaking, he’s actually at a similar level to you and me. After all, this world has a ceiling that suppresses people’s cultivation. No matter how strong someone is, their cultivation will be suppressed.” Yao Yao’s grandfather sighed.

He felt that the person who had once said that he had a past relationship with his ancestors was probably someone of unimaginable power, perhaps even more powerful than the mastermind who had harmed his lineage in the mortal world.

If Yao Yao stays by her side, she might really have a chance to be resurrected.

Saint Master Yichen's eyes widened in shock. He had personally witnessed that person's power, which seemed to be on a completely different level. He had also assumed that person was a god-level being, but it turned out not to be!
"I'll take you to see her; Yao Yao is there too." Yao Yao's grandfather led the group to Kunlun to pay their respects to Shao Hua.

When the group saw Shaohua, they were naturally amazed, thinking she was a celestial being.

Before this, they all thought that Yao Yao was the most beautiful woman in the world, but people are most afraid of comparison. Compared with her, they were inferior in every aspect.

Truly flawless, every strand of hair seems to contain traces of the Dao, every word and action conforms to the rhythm of heaven and earth, unlike a mortal being, more like a tangible embodiment of the Dao, completely incomparable.

"Uncle Holy Master! Uncle Ming!" Yao Yao was overjoyed to see them.

"Next, I'll be taking Yao Yao away for a while to try and revive her. I'll leave Earth to you. Also, please take care of these little ones." Shao Hua added a final mention to Chu Feng and the others.

After learning that Chu Feng possessed considerable talent in the field, the Holy Master Yi Chen expressed his intention to cultivate him. Chang Ming, on the other hand, transformed into a ruthless instructor, devising a cruel cultivation plan for everyone.

You should know that Yao Yao was trained by him, as were the third and ninth students under the starry sky back then.

Regardless of their character, their achievements were considerable, so they are certainly qualified to teach them.

"The Earth is in a time of great need for reconstruction, and you have come at a good time. I intend to train you to become the backbone of the Earth in the future. I don't expect you to shine throughout the heavens, but at least you should become saints in some way. Children, now is the time for you to cultivate!"

Chang Ming was even more passionate than a group of young people, determined to use his remaining energy to nurture these descendants of Earth to the best of his ability.

Shaohua felt at ease letting him do as he pleased. She could tell that this person was warm-hearted and consistent in his words and actions, and was indeed a good teacher.

Chang Ming revised his original plan, feeling that he could continue to exploit the potential of these young guys. He immediately took the initiative to lead Chu Feng and the others to cause trouble for those outsiders, while also searching for opportunities in famous mountains and rivers around the world.

No, that is inheriting the heritage that originally belonged to Earth!
Since we can't fight the divine sons and saints of the Free and Unfettered Realm for now, we'll start by dealing with the followers of those in the Shackled Realm. We'll strike hard against outsiders, since none of them have good intentions anyway.

By accumulating power through trials and battles, one can then travel to the Land of Gods to seek sacred and divine medicines, achieving a super evolution. Becoming a saint or ancestor in the future will truly not be a dream.

Chu Feng also had an extra learning task. His Holy Master had given him several books on the field to study on his own. He had to fight battles during the day and study late into the night. He was under immense pressure and his whole body was about to collapse.

"The place you're talking about is the Land of Ten Thousand Gods?" Yao Yao followed Shao Hua deep into the Kunlun Mountains and entered the Land of Ten Thousand Gods. Looking at the familiar scene before her, she was speechless.

"You haven't figured out the deepest things either, have you?" Shaohua asked with a smile.

"That has nothing to do with you?" Yao Yao's grandfather, who was also standing nearby, looked shocked.

He survived by discovering that natural shortcut mountain range when he was stranded on Earth, which led to the sudden rise of ancient Earth.

"No, it belongs to me."
