After being trained as slaves, they all became masters of their own affairs.

Beside him, Palace Master Youruo was standing on the deck holding a glass of red wine. Her long hair was blown wildly in the night breeze. She took a sip of the bright red wine with her red lips, which made her lips look more attractive and moist.

When hearing Yu Ze's words, Youruo Palace Master's voice was soft and sweet: "She is not your enemy... Of course, it is hard to say whether she is your friend or not."

Well... if he is not an enemy, then it doesn't matter... but who can invite the Lord of Youruo Palace?

"I can sense that your spiritual awareness has almost been fully restored. Has it reached the bottleneck of a saint?"

Before Yu Ze could continue thinking, the voice of Palace Master Youruo fell into his ears again.

A pair of clear and charming eyes under the mask quietly examined the young man beside him.

Behind him, there seemed to be an illusory golden halo clock emerging faintly.

This is the 'Tao' of the God of Light. The goddess of the Western Continent controls the 'Law of Time'. If she wishes, she can follow the trajectory of the Law of Time and reverse time.

After signing the slave contract with the God of Light, Yu Ze's "Tao" also contained some of the Tao rhyme of the God of Light.

As expected of the Lord of Youruo Palace, she could see through it so easily... Yu Ze was a little surprised, and then he quickly shook his head and said, "It's just a glimpse of the second level, but I haven't decided what to do next."

Under normal circumstances, every monk will only firmly believe in one path throughout his life and stick to it.

Fairy Yaoyue's way is the way of heaven, so she cuts off her ego and eliminates all emotions.

As for the Goddess of Light... the path she follows is the principle of time. In the past, when she was bound by the laws of heaven, her strength was unknown, but now... judging from her performance in the battle of Xianyuan that day, it seems that the Goddess of Light can rewrite time without being bound by the laws.

The paths that the first few slaves adopted by Yu Ze all took were related to their physical constitutions.

Su Dieying was born with a charming body, while Kailin had a radiant body and was naturally close to heaven.

Ji Ningshuang's way is somewhat similar to that of Fairy Yaoyue.

As for Tsukuyomi, she was born with the 'Tsukuyomi Fate', and from her previous performance, it seems that she can influence the environment between heaven and earth.

As for Baiyin...

Among the people Yu Ze knows, her Taoism is probably the most difficult to understand.

Gain insight into the origin of all things and copy them, even the rhyme of Tao and Taoist magic can be turned to your own use.

Of course, it is still unknown whether the first-grade Dao rhyme can be replicated.

If that is really possible, it is no wonder that the laws of heaven were so targeted at Baiyin in the past.

When thinking of the innocent white-haired fox-eared girl, Yu Ze's mind couldn't help but emerge with the words that the God of Light had said before.

Baiyin is the princess of the ancient times, and her physique is infinitely close to the origin of the Tao, able to see through everything in the world.

What about the ancient ancestor?

Is Baiyin's physique inherited from the ancient ancestor?

"After reaching the third level, you still haven't found your own path?"

Just as Yu Ze's thoughts were wandering, the voice of Palace Master Youruo sounded with a hint of disbelief and even doubt. She looked up and down at the boy's face.

"You haven't even found your own path, how did you enter the third rank?"

Under normal circumstances, it is understandable that a cultivator does not know what his own path is when he first starts practicing.

But when one reaches the third level, it is impossible not to be clear about the path one is taking.

Yu Ze shook his head gently: "I really don't know what path I'm on, but I've been practicing until I reached the third level."

Youruo Palace Master: "..."

There was not a single lie in this statement. Many cultivators were stuck at the fourth level their entire lives and could hardly make any further progress. However, Yu Ze did not feel the so-called "bottleneck" at the time and was directly promoted to the third level.

As for the reason...

Although he did not find his own Tao, every time he adopted a slave, Yu Ze could sense part of their Tao rhyme. Perhaps it was for this reason that the combination of many Tao rhymes made him the third-grade great man he is today.

"Give me your hand."

The Youruo Palace Master suddenly said.

Yu Ze glanced at her subconsciously and still extended his hand.

The Youruo Palace Master stretched out her soft little hand from her wide sleeves, and her fingertips touched Yu Ze's palm.

A cool and soft touch spreads across the palm of your hand.

But before he could feel the softness of that little hand, the Youruo Palace Master's beautiful eyebrows raised inadvertently, and she looked at him slowly and tenderly with eyes that seemed to contain affection.

"Your Tao charm is really quite attractive."

Yu Ze did not comment.

It is natural that he is attractive. After all, his physique is the combination of the Tao rhyme of many slaves.

At this time, the Youruo Palace Master continued calmly: "But the Dao rhyme has not been truly integrated with itself. It is too complicated. It is simply a bunch of good ingredients thrown into a pot and stewed... Tsk, no wonder it can be promoted to the third rank. With so many perfect Dao rhymes, even if a pig is cultivated for thousands of years, it can still be promoted to the third rank."

Yu Ze: “?”

Are you polite?

He coughed lightly and said, "I have only been practicing for a few dozen years."

A strange look flashed across the eyes of the Youruo Palace Master, and she couldn't help but look at the young man a few more times in surprise.

Then he curled his lips in disdain: "It is rare to be promoted to the third rank in just a few decades, but it is not uncommon."

"...Have you seen it since ancient times?" Yu Ze asked tentatively.

"..."

After a moment's silence, Palace Master Youruo couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say... being promoted to the third rank in such a short period of time is indeed unprecedented in the past.

There are other gifted people with similar talents to Yu Ze.

But to be a third-grade rank person for more than a few decades is absolutely impossible.

Starting from the fourth level, the constraints of the laws of heaven will become increasingly severe.

Many so-called chosen ones eventually perished under this law.

“It took more than a few decades to be promoted to the third rank… Unless you are the rule maker of the laws of heaven, no one in this world can do it.” The Palace Master Youruo said lightly.

Yu Ze's mind moved slightly, and he said, "So, from the past to now, no one has really done it?"

“It’s not that no one can do it, but it’s absolutely impossible to do it.”

The Youruo Palace Master placed the red wine glass in his hand on the table beside him, played with his sleeves, and said softly: "The laws of heaven will constrain every cultivator of heaven. Even if you have great luck, you will be affected by the laws."

Unless, Yu Ze is completely immune to the rules.

But this is impossible. As long as you are in heaven, you will be affected by the laws.

"Are there no exceptions?" Yu Ze asked.

The Youruo Palace Master shook her head: "No."

Yu Ze's eyes flickered slightly.

So, I am really the only one who was promoted to the third rank in such a short period of time...?

He felt both relieved and a little worried.

He was relieved because he knew that his talent was indeed amazing.

The worry is that when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong. Everyone is bound by the laws of heaven, but he is the only one who acts as if nothing happened and is not affected by the laws at all... This makes people doubt whether there is something wrong.

"No matter what, the third rank may still allow you to take advantage of it, but if you want to advance to the second rank, you must find your own way."

At this time, the voice of Palace Master Youruo brought Yu Ze back to reality.

"For a second-rank saint, there is no possibility of taking any shortcuts."

No matter how much Tao rhyme Yu Ze has now, he can only choose one path to the end.

Abandoning most of the Tao rhyme and choosing only one path... Is this the way to become a saint?

Yu Ze frowned and thought, if he was to be promoted to a second-grade saint, he would need to abandon most of the Tao rhyme and only choose the Tao rhyme he currently possesses to the end. Wouldn't that just be following the path of his predecessors?

"If I remember correctly, the Dao rhyme possessed by the currently known first-grade ones are all different, right?" Yu Ze asked.

The Youruo Palace Master nodded slightly and said calmly: "Even Yaoyue's rhyme is different from mine."

"Does that mean that everyone's understanding of the Dao rhyme leading to the first level will be different?"

If so, then he has chosen the Dao rhyme of a slave he adopted to enter the realm of saint. Will he be able to do the same as he does now when facing a first-grade emperor in the future?

Yu Ze couldn't help but think of all the slaves he had faced so far.

There is no doubt that if we say that the most powerful Tao rhyme known at present is the Tao body that Baiyin uses to see through the origin of all things.

In addition, the Tao rhymes of the God of Light and Fairy Yaoyue are equally amazing. These three kinds of Tao rhymes are probably the most attractive in the world, enough to drive the cultivators from the outside world crazy.

And now, as long as he chooses one of them, perhaps he can be promoted to the second rank in a short period of time and become a saint of the world.

Power at your fingertips...it all sounds great.

But Yu Ze was a little hesitant at this moment.

Is it because he can't bear to give up other Dao Yuns? Or is it because he has doubts about what the Youruo Palace Master said?

It seems like neither.

Yu Ze doesn't mind being a gigolo, nor does he mind clinging to the Goddess of Light or Fairy Yaoyue at critical moments.

But on the journey of cultivation, no one could help him.

Among the top powerful people in this world, is there anyone who has walked the path taken by his predecessors again?

"I want to ask one last question."

Yu Ze exhaled slowly and whispered, "In fact, I suspected that you were someone I knew, so you took extra care of me when you were in heaven before."

"But two days ago, when I saw your true face, I was sure that I had never seen you before."

Yu Ze paused and raised his head: "Have we met before?"

The eyes of the Youruo Palace Master flickered slightly, and when she noticed that the young man's eyes were fixed on hers, she lowered her eyes slightly.

Her green jade fingers twirled a strand of hair, and she said nonchalantly, "Yu Ze, you are really interesting... I am taking extra care of you, are you not happy?"

Yu Ze shook his head gently: "It's not that I'm unhappy... I'm just a little confused."

The Youruo Palace Master turned her head and stared at him silently.

Yu Ze also stared at her without saying anything.

I don't know how long it was before the night wind blew by, and the red ancient skirt of Palace Master Youruo was blown back, highlighting her graceful figure to the fullest.

The next moment, the tall beauty in the red dress in front of him suddenly disappeared.

A pair of soft little hands reached out from behind and gently stroked Yu Ze's face.

"I just think you're cute and want you to be my lover, is that not okay?"

"I say Yu Ze...if I want you to be my lover, you won't refuse, right?"

Before Yu Ze could speak, Palace Master Youruo put her red lips close to the boy's ear and breathed sweet, moist air beside his earlobe.

"If you refuse, I'll be embarrassed... I might just let you stay on this ship forever, okay?"

Yu Ze's whole body stiffened, and it felt like there was an electric current on his back, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

He wanted to turn around and look at Palace Master Youruo, but found that his body seemed to be completely out of control and he could hardly move.

This is the First Rank... Even if the consciousness of the Palace Master Youruo is incomplete, the First Rank still possesses an absolutely terrifying power that can crush anyone.

"Well...it seems like you're happy with it, too."

At this time, the Youruo Palace Master stepped on the floor with her tender white feet, and walked slowly in front of Yu Ze. Her slender white fingertips gently stroked along his thigh. She seemed to have sensed some reaction, and suddenly giggled, laughing so hard that her body shook.

The aura that suppressed Yu Ze quietly faded away.

Only then did Yu Ze breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: This crazy woman!

It was clear that she was teaching him how to advance to the second rank with the attitude of an elder just a moment ago, but she suddenly turned hostile the next second and even suppressed his body with murderous intent.

"It's just a joke. After all, I am a man of my word. I will definitely send you to Pingcheng safely."

The Youruo Palace Master turned around and walked slowly towards the long table not far away, her skirt trailing on the ground, as she picked up the bright red wine that was as enchanting as her dress.

Humming a song and tasting the wine in the glass.
