Chapter 470 What Makes a Prodigy? Asking for Trouble (8k views, please vote!)

Xu Jingping also showed disdain for this.

Good advice is useless when it comes to a damned devil.

My Xu family is still too kind.

Xu Dezhao said with a faint smile, "Jingping, you've worked hard. Come and rest for a bit."

"Yes, great-grandfather."

Xu Jingping smiled and then flew to his side.

"So, young friend, you are the great-grandson of Clan Chief Xu. No wonder you are so outstanding," Xia Changyun said.

"Senior Xia flatters me. He's just a good-for-nothing kid."

Xu Mingyuan looked at Xu Chongkai, "Chongkai, what do you think of Zhang Xiaoyou's suggestion?"

"Grandpa, I have no objection."

"Well, let's go."

Xu Chongkai flew to the arena and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Zhang has expended some energy. You can recover a bit before starting the competition."

"It's alright." Zhang Xiao turned around and cupped his hands towards Xia Changyun, saying, "Please help me lift the seal, Master."

Xia Changyun raised his hand and pointed.

A beam of azure light suddenly flew from his fingertips and entered Zhang Xiao's body, instantly raising his aura to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

He felt the surge of power within him, clenched his fists, and a glint of confidence flashed in his eyes.

This battle will surely turn the tide and reverse the previous defeat.

He looked at Xu Chongkai opposite him, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, please."

Xu Chongkai nodded slightly, his expression calm as still water.

With a flick of his right hand, a golden longsword fell into his palm.

The sword exuded a sharp aura, clearly a two-patterned magical flying sword.

Zhang Xiao's expression changed slightly.

Before he could think any further, Xu Chongkai had already unleashed a golden sword beam.

This sword strike may seem ordinary, but the tip of the sword carries an incomparably sharp and fierce aura.

Wherever it passed, the air was cut with a subtle hissing sound.

"The embryonic form of supernatural power!"

Zhang Xiao's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately unleashed his full power, using his divine sword technique.

Peng——

The swords clashed, sparks flying.

Zhang Xiao felt a tremendous force coming from him and involuntarily took half a step back.

But the other side didn't move at all.

"How is that possible? His supernatural powers and true meaning are even stronger than mine."

Could he actually be the Xu family's sword prodigy?!

Xu Chongkai did not stop, thrusting out his golden sword repeatedly.

Each sword strike is faster and more ruthless than the last.

His swordsmanship was fierce and domineering, each move aimed directly at vital points, and every sword strike carried the incomparably sharp true meaning of metal, forcing Zhang Xiao to parry repeatedly.

Zhang Xiao's expression changed slightly as he desperately activated the Azure Wind Sword Technique, incorporating the nascent form of the Wind Element True Meaning.

Only then can we deal with them.

Occasionally, the sword blades would collide, causing his hand to go numb.

"Power, magical artifacts, and true meaning all seem to be above mine, but the difference is not significant."

I also have a chance to win!

Zhang Xiao adjusted his mindset, pondering how to counterattack against the opponent's storm of attacks amidst the clash of swords.

Unfortunately, he hadn't even had a chance to come up with a solution.

He was forced to retreat repeatedly, sweat beading on his forehead.

After twenty moves, his swordplay began to falter, and he nearly got stabbed by his opponent several times.

After thirty moves, he was already struggling to keep up and was in a sorry state.

Not far away.

Xu Jingping watched with great interest, thinking to himself, "I wouldn't believe anyone else even if they told the truth."

"You think you can win a duel just by relying on your own imagination and hype?"

Xia Changyun sighed inwardly, "I still underestimated the Xu family's resources."

Such development has occurred in just a few decades.

The Xu family is truly remarkable.

If things continue like this, they might surpass the Cangshan Sect to become the second largest Nascent Soul power in the Northwest.

On the arena.

Zhang Xiao's face turned ashen, his heart churning with turmoil.

How could this be? How could this be!

Both have reached the Foundation Establishment stage and their rudimentary forms of supernatural powers and true meanings are not much different.

Could it be that the difference between a two-pattern magic weapon and a one-pattern magic weapon is really that great?
He is not willing!

Zhang Xiao gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to activate the sword technique.

The cyan longswords transformed into countless sword shadows, attempting to compensate for the lack of quality with quantity.

But the golden sword light was like a heavy hammer, smashing his sword shadow to pieces with each strike.

Another twenty or so moves passed.

Xu Chongkai suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

The golden light condensed and did not dissipate, transforming into a golden sword beam several meters long, which slashed towards Zhang Xiao!

Zhang Xiao's expression changed drastically. He thrust out his longsword with all his might, and the green light surged as he tried to defend himself.

boom--

The golden sword light and the cyan sword light collided with a thunderous crash, but only remained locked in a stalemate for a moment.

The next instant, the cyan sword light shattered, and Zhang Xiao was sent flying backward, crashing hard into the pale golden light shield at the edge of the arena!
puff--

He spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his clothes red.

The light shield trembled slightly, bouncing him back and slamming him heavily onto the arena.

He raised his head and looked at the figure standing with a sword in his hand, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Suddenly, he remembered what Xu Jingping had said earlier.

He was just an ordinary member of the Xu family.

His face was deathly pale, and his lips were trembling.

Immediately, scenes of his fellow disciples praising him flashed through his mind.

It turns out I'm not a kendo genius at all!

Looking back now, all that flattery and praise sounds incredibly grating.

puff--

He spat out another mouthful of blood.

My vision went black, and I almost fainted.

Xu Mingyuan raised his hand and removed the arena's light screen.

Xia Changyun's expression darkened slightly, and with a swift movement, he was already beside Zhang Xiao.

A divine sense probed his injuries.

After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and then took out a pill and gave it to Zhang Xiao.

"Master, I have disgraced you."

Zhang Xiao felt extremely ashamed at this moment.

"You and Xu Xiaoyou are evenly matched. As long as you face your own heart and don't look down on anyone, you will succeed."

"I will find you a suitable two-patterned magic weapon flying sword; you won't lose to him then."

Zhang Xiao was in a slightly better mood. "Thank you, Master."

"He has some talent, but his mental fortitude is lacking," Xu Mingyuan commented inwardly.

Even in the Xu family's genius rating system, he could only be rated as average.

Seeing that Xu Chongkai was about to leave the arena, Zhang Xiao immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Xu, are you not considered a prodigy in the Xu family?"

What is a prodigy?

Xu Chongkai said calmly, "It's when you see it that it naturally arises in your heart; that's what makes a true prodigy!"

As for me

Xu Chongkai chuckled twice, offering no further comment.

After a while.

Zhang Xiao stood up and looked at the last person who had not yet made a move.

He cupped his hands in greeting to Xu Chongjian, "May I, Zhang, witness this fellow Daoist's swordsmanship?"

Xu Chongjian looked calmly at Xu Mingyuan.

"Chong Jian, since you underestimate me, young friend Zhang, why don't you show me a move?"

Xu Mingyuan smiled faintly.

"Yes, maternal grandfather."

Xu Chongjian looked respectful.

Xia Changyun was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the rumored sword prodigy of the Xu family was actually a direct descendant of this elder.

However, it was learned that the position of the Xu family patriarch did not belong to the lineage of the eldest elder, but rather to his elder brother.

“Cultivation families prioritize talent. Could it be that his elder brother’s lineage is more outstanding than the Grand Elder’s lineage?!”

Then, Xu Chongjian made his move.

He did not take out any magical artifacts, but simply raised his right hand, pointing his fingers like a sword, and held it upright towards the sky.

next moment--

The sky suddenly changed color!

Eighty-one golden sword beams materialized out of thin air and stretched across the sky!
Each sword beam was over ten feet long, gleaming with golden light, its sharpness fully revealed, with runes faintly flowing on the blade, radiating an incomparably fierce sword aura.

The sword light hung high in the sky, slowly rotating, like a sword formation or a forest of swords.

As they spun, countless tiny sword beams scattered and burst forth, tearing through the sky and emitting a piercing clang.

The sound was continuous, like a thousand birds singing in unison, or ten thousand swords whistling in unison, making everyone present feel a pain in their eardrums.

Within a radius of several miles, the wind and clouds changed color, and birds fled in fright.

Xu Chongjian simply stood quietly in place, his right hand pointing the sword to the sky, his expression calm and his breathing steady.

The eighty-one sword beams hung above his head as if he had done it casually, with utmost ease.

The audience was deathly silent.

Xu Chongkai looked up at the sword light, his pupils slightly contracting.

He muttered to himself, his voice so low that only he could hear it: "My second brother's swordsmanship has made further progress in its initial form."

Each of those sword beams was no less powerful than the Golden Light Slash he had just unleashed with all his might.

He could only unleash one strike, while Xu Chongjian could condense eighty-one.

Xu Jingping opened his mouth wide, and after a long while, he managed to choke out a sentence: "That's really perverted."

No comparison, there's simply no way to compare.

I wonder how my elder brother is doing now. If he were here, he should be able to keep things under control, right?

He seemed somewhat uncertain.

Because he knew that Xu Jingwu was pursuing the path of martial arts, and the future of martial arts was uncertain.

He needs to figure it out little by little on his own.

How can this progress compare to that of Xu Chongjian and Xu Chongfei?

Xu Mingyuan and Xu Dezhao stood to one side, exchanged a glance, and both nodded with faint smiles.

Xu Dezhao said softly, "Chongjian has indeed not disappointed us."

Xu Mingyuan nodded slightly, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

Zhang Xiao stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

He gazed at the sky filled with sword light, at the young figure standing with his hands behind his back, and felt his throat go dry. After a long while, he murmured, "This...this is what a sword prodigy should be like?!"

He recalled his smugness after his battle with Xu Jingping, and his confidence when he challenged Xu Chongkai after recovering his cultivation. At this moment, he felt utterly ridiculous.

What is a prodigy?

This is a true prodigy in the art of swordsmanship!

Even with just a casual gesture, he had already surpassed what he could never achieve during the Foundation Establishment stage.

He was nothing more than a frog in a well, with a limited perspective.

Xia Changyun's expression also changed slightly, and a hint of horror flashed deep in his pupils.

With his divine sense, he could naturally tell that Xu Chongjian's life force was very young.

It should not exceed fifty!

At such a young age, his swordsmanship has already reached such a level.

No wonder some people say that even in a dominant Nascent Soul power, he could be considered a top genius in swordsmanship!

"This boy is truly terrifying!"

He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and thought to himself, "I'm afraid I'll be able to form a core within one or two decades."
In the previous Heavenly Pride Gathering, they would definitely have been able to break into the top ten, or even higher!

Xu Chongjian slowly withdrew his sword finger.

In the sky, the eighty-one golden sword beams suddenly shattered, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating into nothingness.

The gale subsided, the clanging subsided, and peace returned to the world, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

He turned around, nodded slightly to Zhang Xiao, and said calmly, "I've made a fool of myself."

His tone was calm, without a trace of boasting.

Zhang Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't utter a word.

He could only bow deeply and pay his respects to Xu Chongjian.

This gesture was truly convincing.

His fellow disciples also called him a prodigy, but now he has seen a true prodigy.

Only then did I realize that I was like a frog in a well, so far from being able to take that step.

Xia Changyun looked at Xu Chongjian with emotion, then said to Xu Mingyuan, "The Xu family has such a prodigy in swordsmanship."

That's truly enviable.

I've heard that the Xu family now has four prodigies; I wonder what the others are like.

Xu Mingyuan naturally wouldn't say it directly, but smiled and said, "It's all just other people's boasting."

Don't take this seriously.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Changyun said, "I saw my disciple fighting with a nobleman's son before."

Xia was also itching to spar with you, fellow Daoist.

Xu Dezhao was taken aback.

The young are being abused, and the old want to be abused too?

Do the people of the Green Leaf Sword Sect all have some kind of peculiar fetish?
Upon hearing this, Xu Mingyuan waved his hands repeatedly, "Fellow Daoist Xia, do you perhaps think that just because I am the Grand Elder, I am one of the strongest in our clan?"

"Isn't that right?"

Xia Changyun was surprised.

He had also visited many sects and aristocratic families, and although he was not the number one Golden Core expert, he was still a Grand Elder.

It must be among the top three.

"I am not good at fighting, but if Fellow Daoist Xia really has such an interest..."

"I could call someone to spar with you, fellow Daoist."

Xia Changyun had a bad feeling.

But then I thought again, Xu Jia Ku Rong Zhenjun is well-known, and there are several other former prodigies among them.

But no matter how fast they cultivate, they are at most at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm now.

He himself was at the peak of the eighth level of the Golden Core stage.

Even among the Golden Core elders of the Green Leaf Sword Sect, he ranked among the top five.

In his eyes, the previous generation of the Xu family who participated in the Heavenly Pride Gathering were no different from the younger generation.

"A friendly exchange should be fine."

Xia Changyun composed himself, cupped his hands and smiled slightly, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Xu."

Many of the Xu family's Golden Core cultivators have gone out to work, and many of those remaining in the clan are now in seclusion.

Xu Deyue is the only one who is skilled in swordsmanship.

He immediately sent a message over.

At this moment, Xu Deyue and Ye Fan were with the two little ones, Xu Chongsheng and Xu Chongxi.

"Yue'er, Sheng'er and Xi'er should also start their cultivation journey. What cultivation method do you think is suitable for them?"

"Both the Fire Emperor Scripture and the Water Emperor Scripture are top-tier cultivation techniques, so naturally, the two siblings can also cultivate them."

However, it is not the most suitable method.

Pure Yang spiritual bodies and pure Yin spiritual bodies are naturally more suited to practicing pure Yang cultivation techniques and pure Yin cultivation techniques, respectively.

only"

Xu Deyue remained silent, and Ye Fan understood that these two types of cultivation techniques were not common.

Although there is currently a pure Yin cultivation method called "Su Nu Tai Yin Jing", those who practice this method must maintain their original Yin body in the future.

Once it's broken, all previous efforts will be in vain.

With Xu Chongxi's talent, he has a good chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, and if the world undergoes a major change, he may even be able to glimpse the Divine Transformation stage.

But for the Xu family, it is most appropriate to pass on their excellent bloodline naturally.

The Xu family already has Xu Mingshu and Xu Deling, who are still unmarried. If this continues, all women of the Xu family with any potential will be the same.

This could be very detrimental to the Xu family.

Even Xu Chuan wouldn't agree.

"Jing Hao can directly practice his junior brother's techniques. As for the other two, please let Master decide."

Ye Fan looked at Xu Deyue.

Xu Deyue nodded.

Just then, she received a message from Xu Mingyuan.

"My second uncle sent me a message that a Golden Core cultivator from the Green Leaf Sword Sect has arrived."

"They want to spar with our Xu family's Golden Core cultivators; they want me to come over."

"The Nascent Soul stage power of Qingye Mansion?"

Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, "In my Xu family, you are the only Golden Core cultivator who is skilled in swordsmanship."

If you don't care about these things, I can help you.

"I'll be right back," Xu Deyue said with a smile.

"I'll go over there too, and take the two little ones for a walk while I'm at it."

There is a restriction token from my father-in-law.

Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to discern the extraordinary abilities of the two little ones.

"I want to go, I want to go."

The two little ones became excited as soon as they heard that their mother was going to have a magical duel. Their big eyes blinked brightly.

Xu Deyue and Ye Fan each led a child into the air and flew towards the martial arts arena.

Martial arts training ground.

When Xu Mingyuan saw that Xu Deyue's family had all arrived, he asked in surprise, "Why are you all here?"

Ye Fan said, "I'm not in seclusion today, so I'm spending time with the children."

Hearing your message, Second Uncle, I came to check on you as well.

"Second Uncle, Eldest Uncle."

The two little ones called out sweetly.

Xu Mingyuan and Xu Dezhao both smiled and praised the two little ones.

Xia Changyun sized up Ye Fan and the others.

When his divine sense swept over Xu Chongsheng and Xu Chongxi, he could not see through them and frowned slightly.

Before he could think it over, Ye Fan stepped forward and said, "I am Ye Fan, and this is my wife, Xu Deyue."

Please show mercy later, fellow Daoist.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, you're too kind."

Xia Changyun smiled and said, "Those must be your and Fairy Hanyue's children."

So cute.

He looks intelligent and quick-witted; he's definitely a promising candidate for cultivation.

"Fellow Taoist, you are so complimentary."

Xu Deyue's expression was cold as he gestured, "Fellow Daoist, let's spar on the arena."

"Can that arena withstand battles between Golden Core cultivators?"

Xu Mingyuan said, "We need to activate the third-tier formation first. After you and Deyue go up, Fellow Daoist Xia..."
I will activate a protective array for you.

For a Golden Core cultivator, this arena, which is no more than a hundred meters long and wide, is a bit too small.

However, in a confined space, it is even more important to see the experience of both sides in combat and to see their true strength.

Xia Changyun nodded.

Immediately, the two figures took off simultaneously and landed on the arena.

Xia Changyun stood on one side of the arena, his body shimmering with golden spiritual light.

With a flick of his right hand, a golden longsword fell into his palm.

The sword is broad and thick, with a sharp edge, and a black crystal core is embedded in the hilt.

Xu Deyue stood opposite, her face as cold and indifferent as water.

She did not take out the "Taiyin" flying sword, but instead, with a light flick of her wrist, a pale blue longsword appeared in her palm.

The sword's blade was as clear as autumn water, with a faint shimmering light flowing around its tip.

"Fairy Hanyue, this sword is named Jinyun. Please enlighten me." Xia Changyun clasped his hands in greeting.

"Sword Destiny Autumn Water," Xu Deyue uttered.

Below the stage, Xu Mingyuan raised his hand and made a hand seal.

A pale golden light shield rose from all around the arena, enveloping the entire arena.

The light shield was filled with spiritual light, clearly far superior to the previous formations.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, please."

Xu Deyue nodded slightly, her tone cool.

Xia Changyun returned the greeting with clasped hands: "Fellow Daoist Xu, please."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Deyue made the first move.

She made a hand seal with one hand, while her left hand's five fingers flew, instantly condensing three ice-blue palm prints.

The palm print was about a foot square, crystal clear, and exuded a chilling aura.

It was the hand seal she had painstakingly cultivated—the Cold Heaven Seal.

Although this seal is not a supernatural power, the nine seals combined together possess a power comparable to a minor supernatural power.

Xu Deyue had already cultivated to perfection and reached the state of complete freedom.

With a simple gesture.

The three Frost Heaven Seals, arranged in a triangular shape, roared out and crashed towards Xia Changyun.

Wherever it passed, the air condensed into fine ice crystals, leaving a long trail of ice mist.

Xia Changyun's gaze sharpened, and he slashed out with his Golden Edge Sword.

A golden sword beam shot into the sky, its sharpness unmatched, stretching for over ten feet, as if it would split the entire arena in two!
Wherever the sword's light passed, the void trembled slightly.

boom--

The golden sword light collided violently with the three Frost Heaven Seals!

The first Frost Heaven Seal shattered, turning into countless ice shards.

The second Cold Heaven Seal shattered, and the chill spread in all directions.

The third Frosty Heaven Seal withstood the sword light for only three breaths before finally dissipating into icy mist.

Seeing the power of the "Frosty Heaven Seal", Xia Changyun naturally dared not underestimate it and went all out from the start.

Although his supernatural powers were not fully developed, they were very close.

Among the Golden Core elders of the Qingye Sword Sect, he ranked fifth, with the first two being those who had reached the peak of the Golden Core stage and mastered supernatural powers.

The other two were either at the peak of the Golden Core stage or had achieved great mastery of supernatural powers.

Its foundation is even stronger than that of the original Tiancang Sect.

But the golden sword light that was tens of feet long had dimmed considerably at this moment.

It was only a few feet long left, and its remaining power had waned.

Xu Deyue remained expressionless. With a flick of his sleeve, a beam of cold light shot out, completely shattering the sword's edge.

Then the Autumn Water Sword was finally drawn.

With a swift movement, she was as graceful as a startled swan, like a fairy descending from the moon.

The Autumn Water Sword traced a mysterious trajectory in her hand.

A cold glint shot out from the tip of the sword, clear and sharp, as if it could freeze everything.

Xia Changyun activated his sword technique again, unleashing a golden sword beam that surpassed even the previous one.

But the two collided in mid-air.

Click!

The golden sword light shattered instantly, turning into specks of golden light and disappearing without a trace.

Xia Changyun's pupils suddenly contracted!
Although his sword strike just now was not the strongest attack of the sword technique.

But his full-force sword strike, delivered at the peak of the eighth level of the Golden Core stage, was so easily shattered by the opponent.
However, judging from Xu Deyue's cultivation level, he was clearly only at the fourth level of the Golden Core stage!
What alarmed him even more was that after the cold light shattered his sword light, it still had momentum and continued to approach him!

He hurriedly parried with his sword, the cold light striking the golden blade. A bone-chilling coldness traveled up the blade, making his hands go numb.

"No, her magic power has been condensed to such an extent that it is in no way inferior to mine!"

Even worse!

Xia Changyun's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

Even within the Green Leaf Sword Sect, there was a prodigy who had achieved the Divine Core Formation, whose mid-stage Golden Core power rivaled that of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

But in terms of magical power, he is still inferior to her.

He only managed to outmaneuver him by virtue of his mastery of divine powers.

Those who have achieved the Golden Core stage have a high probability of comprehending their supernatural powers to the point of mastery by the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

However, it is rare to achieve the fourth level of the Golden Core stage so soon after entering the middle stage.

This alone shows that Xu Deyue's potential is even greater than that of the prodigy from the Qingye Sword Sect.

"At the fourth level of the Golden Core stage, with mastered supernatural powers, his magical strength is even stronger than mine, who is at the eighth level of the Golden Core stage!"
"Such a genius exists in the world! Even in top-tier or hegemonic Nascent Soul forces, he would rank among the best in the Golden Core stage."

He couldn't understand it, and he didn't have time to think about it further, as Xu Deyue's offensive had already begun.

The Autumn Water Sword seemed alive in her hands, its light shimmering and its chilling aura permeating the air.

Her swordsmanship was ethereal and otherworldly, yet incomparably sharp, each strike carrying the intent to freeze all things.

They went straight for the vital points, forcing Xia Changyun to retreat repeatedly.

This is not the true meaning of swordsmanship, but rather the meaning of the Moon Palace.

The "Guanghan Sword Technique" she practiced was based on the true meaning of Guanghan.

As for the true meaning of swordsmanship, anyone who practices swordsmanship can comprehend it.

But very few people truly understand it.

Many Golden Core stage sword cultivators are not necessarily more profound in their understanding than Xu Chongjian.

Xia Changyun gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to activate his sword technique, golden sword light crisscrossing in an attempt to reverse the decline.

But every time his sword light met the Autumn Water Sword, it was shattered by that cold, clear light, as if it were made of paper.

Three tricks.

Five moves.

Seven moves.

By the ninth move, Xu Deyue's Autumn Water Sword was already three inches from Xia Changyun's throat.

The tip of the sword exudes a chilling aura.

His beard was covered in ice crystals!

His cheeks were also covered in frost.

Xia Changyun stood frozen in place, his golden sword hanging limply from his hand, his face deathly pale.

He lost.

The defeat was so complete and so swift.

From the start of their fight until now, it has only taken ten moves.

Zhang Xiao was dumbfounded, while Xu Dezhao, Xu Mingyuan, Ye Fan, and the others remained calm.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Xu Chongsheng and Xu Chongxi clapped their little hands and shouted joyfully, "Mother won! Mother won!"

"Mother is so amazing!"

Xia Changyun raised his head, looked at the cold face in front of him, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Xu Deyue sheathed his sword and stood there, the Autumn Water Sword transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into his sleeve.

She nodded slightly, her tone still cool: "Fellow Daoist Xia, you flatter me."

"Fairy Hanyue, you're too kind. It was I who overestimated myself."

"With your strength, even in my Azure Leaf Sword Sect, no Golden Core elder is absolutely certain of defeating you."

Xu Mingyuan smiled, flicked his sleeve, and removed the protective shield from the arena.

Xu Deyue nodded slightly to him.

She turned and floated away, landing back beside Ye Fan.

Xia Changyun also arrived at Zhang Xiao's side.

“Master,” Zhang Xiao said in a low voice, looking at him.

Xia Changyun seemed not to hear, and cupped his hands towards Xu Mingyuan, saying, "I have witnessed the Xu family's profound heritage."

I'm really sorry to have bothered you today.

"We, the master and disciples, and others still have to visit."

Xu Mingyuan said, "Let me see you two off."

Xia Changyun nodded.

Xu Chongjian, Xu Chongkai, and Xu Jingping clasped their hands in greeting to Xu Mingyuan and Xu Dezhao before stepping down.

Xu Chongxi's eyes were full of longing, "Mother, I want to be like you in the future."

Xu Deyue rubbed her head and said, "Xi'er will be even more outstanding than her mother in the future."

"And what about me?" Xu Chongsheng asked.

Ye Fan said, "If you follow your father, you will definitely grow up to be a great man."

“But my brother said that Father, you are a bit unreliable.”

"That little brat!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's face immediately darkened.

Xu Chongfei, who was still in seclusion meditating and comprehending supernatural powers, couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Who is thinking of me?"

Ye Fan picked up Xu Chongsheng and said, "Spend less time with your brother in the future. He's already gone astray."

Xu Chongsheng didn't know what it meant to raise a child to be spoiled, so he just nodded obediently.

"There's no time like the present, let's go to Master's place now."

Xu Deyue nodded.

A short while later.

They arrived at the Kuruyuan.

"Master!"

"grandfather."

Ye Fan and Xu Deyue bowed respectfully.

The two little ones followed suit, saying, "Sheng'er (Xi'er) greets the Ancestor."

Xu Chuan opened his eyes and looked over, then smiled faintly and beckoned to the two little ones, "Come here, come to the ancestor."

The two first looked at Xu Deyue and Ye Fan, and seeing them nod, they then went to Xu Chuan's side.

Although Xu Chuan is the patriarch of the Xu family, when it comes to the closeness with the younger generation, he is naturally not as close as his own parents.

"You came here for the two little ones?"

Xu Chuan pinched their cheeks, making them giggle.

"Yes, Master."

Ye Fan said, "Although the family's cultivation methods are also suitable for them, it would be even better if they had pure Yang and pure Yin cultivation methods."

The disciple felt that these two types of techniques were more suitable for them.

I wonder if Master has any?

"Since you've put it this way, you probably don't want Xi'er to cultivate the 'Su Nu Tai Yin Jing'."

"This technique is good, but..."

"Have you asked Senior Sister Murong Yun?"

"There are no top-tier pure Yin cultivation techniques. If not, it would be better to cultivate the Water Emperor Scripture."

Xu Deyue told the truth without hiding anything.

Xu Chuan nodded slightly.

"The Cold Mountain Classic is a good choice. Deyue, you should focus on the Water Emperor Classic and comprehend its supernatural powers."

However, it allows Xi'er to fully cultivate this technique.

After all, it was a top-tier cultivation technique that Senior Sister Murong Yun highly recommended.

Xu Deyue knew that Xu Chuan wouldn't speak without reason, so she nodded slightly, "What about Sheng'er?"

"Master, can Sheng'er pursue the path of dual cultivation of body and spirit?" Ye Fan asked.

Xu Chuan looked around and thought, "Everyone has their own destiny."

Even my Xu family cannot afford to have too many people walk this path.

As for the Pure Yang Technique, I'll ask Deling and also inquire with others.

With the Xu family's connections, it's not impossible to find out information about top-tier Pure Yang cultivation techniques.

"Disciple understands."

The two quickly left with the little ones.

Xu Chuan then contacted Xu Deling.

Within the Xu Family Cave.

"Grandfather, what brings you here to see Deling?" Xu Deling asked. "Did that Daoist Ya go to Yunxi to make things difficult for my Xu family?"

"No."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Master Ya has agreed to let Little Cold Crow stay in the Xu family."

The deal between the two parties was also reached.

"Look, that's the Bodhi vine we got from him."

Xu Deling looked in the direction Xu Chuan was pointing and saw a black vine clinging to a gray-white mountain wall.

The lush green leaves showcase its vigorous vitality.

"It is said that transplanting high-level spiritual herbs is extremely difficult, but it was done with ease in my grandfather's hands."

The granddaughter believes that, under her grandfather's guidance, this medicinal herb garden will one day become the premier medicinal herb garden in southern China.

"Leaving aside everything else, the reason I came to you this time is to ask if your Heavenly Forging Sect has any top-tier Pure Yang cultivation techniques."

"Pure Yang techniques do exist, but as for top-tier ones comparable to the 'Fire Emperor Scripture,' I'm not entirely sure."

We should ask our masters and the others.

Grandfather can come see his granddaughter again tomorrow.

"can."

"Grandfather, are you looking for cultivation techniques for Sheng'er?"

"And what about Xi'er? She uses a pure Yin cultivation technique. Would you like me to inquire about it?"

"I plan to have Xi'er cultivate the Cold Mountain Classic."

"This is the inherited cultivation technique that Deyue brought back from the Cold Mountain Secret Realm of Liuyue Prefecture?!"

Xu Deling pondered and said, "Xi'er has a pure Yin spirit body, so wouldn't it be more suitable to find a pure Yin cultivation method?"

Otherwise, the *Water Emperor Scripture* would also be suitable for her.

“I have calculated that unless Deyue abolishes the Water Emperor Scripture and rewrites the Cold Mountain Scripture, the outcome will be different.”

Otherwise, only those who start their cultivation from scratch have a chance to obtain the core inheritance of Cold Mountain.

"I see. If one can obtain the core inheritance, then it will be a complete Cold Mountain Secret Realm."

"Let alone now, even in ancient times, it would be enough to make those top sects envious."

soon.

Xu Deling left the cave.

She didn't delay and immediately went to ask Master Zhenyangzi.

"Why are you asking about a top-tier Yang attribute cultivation technique?" Zhenyangzi asked curiously.

Xu Deling did not hide anything, "Among the descendants of my Xu family, there is a spirit with the Yang attribute."

I want to find him a suitable cultivation method so that his physique can be brought to its fullest potential.

"A Yang-attribute spirit body is compatible with fire-based techniques, but to fully unleash its potential, the corresponding techniques are indeed more suitable."

Zhenyangzi stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "Your Xu family is truly full of talented people."

"Our Heavenly Forging Sect does have some common Yang-attribute cultivation techniques, but we don't have any top-tier ones."

However, I heard from my junior brother that Daoist Ya seems to have received some kind of inheritance.

You can ask him for details.

"Thank you, Master."

After clasping his hands in greeting, Xu Deling immediately left.
