Witch, please have some self-respect!

The golden lion reprimanded the elder.

If this scene were seen by the Holy Sect, many people would find it unbelievable.

Even the most powerful prodigy cannot speak to an elder in such a commanding tone.

Which elder wasn't a genius in his youth?

But that's exactly what happened, and the demon elder seemed to have gotten used to it.

"But the ancient immortal clan doesn't have much essence blood left..."

The elder spoke up to defend himself, but seemed rather reluctant.

"It's all just the essence blood of an ancient immortal clan in the Body Nourishing Realm, nothing of great use."

What good would it do to give me everything?

In the future, I'll also put in a good word for you in front of the Little Demon Saint!

The golden beast roared impatiently.

It genuinely looked down on the temple elders in the secret realm, finding them all petty and narrow-minded.

After giving his instructions, he returned to his blessed land on the dragon vein and went into seclusion to cultivate.

Even without advancing to the Blood Sea realm, it already occupies a blessed land of dragon veins, demonstrating the Golden Hou's extremely high status in the Holy Temple.

......

As time passed day by day, both the human and demon races, as well as two other forces, were paying close attention to this grand event, both inside and outside the Holy City.

Shen Yun has been very busy these days.

There is less than a month left for the Breakthrough Method.

There is a reward for breaking the limit for the first time: a skill contribution voucher worth 5,000.

He really needs this.

Besides the Blood Heaven Technique, he also needs to exchange for at least one Heaven Technique to cultivate. Only after he has perfected his body cultivation can he reach the minimum standard to break through to the Blood Sea Realm.

One Heavenly Skill, Three Thousand Contributions.

With 5,000 cultivation technique exchange coupons plus 1,000 more, you can exchange for two techniques.

The Limit Breaking Technique takes place in a special illusionary realm that can simulate the specific situation of a cultivator.

You cannot use magical artifacts; you must break through the limits solely through your own strength.

At that time, Shen Yun definitely won't be able to use his true power.

Given his current condition, his physical strength is around 4,500.

After refining two blood altars last night, the Blood Heaven Technique's enhancement level barely reached seven thousand.

That's 11,000 units of strength, combined with the 4.2x amplification of the cultivation technique and the 5x amplification of the Overturning Heaven Technique.

With nine times the power, during today's martial arts practice in the courtyard, a single punch finally broke through the limits of physical strength.

He refined blood altar after altar at night, and practiced the Nine Strikes of Heaven-Overturning continuously during the day.

Finally, the reward came.

In the courtyard, Shen Yun breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally done. I can rest easy now."

As he relaxed, his pores opened, and beads of sweat streamed down his strong physique.

Under the sunlight, it seems to coat the skin with a layer of light.

A single punch can deliver the force of 100,000 jin (approximately 50,000

Six months ago, Shen Yun would never have dared to even imagine such a thing.

Unexpectedly, this goal has now been achieved.

They are still far from being true powerhouses and cannot be compared to those monsters, but they are enough to establish themselves in the Holy Sect.

"Uncle Shen, here's a towel for you."

Little Ruyan ran over with light steps, her little face flushed.

After Shen Yun became younger, she said that calling her Uncle Shen felt awkward, so she changed it to Uncle Shen.

"Thanks."

Shen Yun smiled, patted her little head, and took the faintly scented towel to wipe her robust body.

Although the true essence can control the closure of pores, sweat contains impurities, so it's healthier for it to flow out.

"Is the cotton branch not ready yet?" Shen Yun asked casually.

"Sister Mianzhi said it was a success."

Xiao Ruyan glanced at the person beside her and answered absentmindedly.

Today, the cotton branch is also breaking through, specifically the second stage of the Nourishing Body technique.

Shen Yun arrived at Mianzhi's room and sensed the fluctuations within; everything had been largely stabilized.

After two months, the cotton branch finally completed its first breakthrough.

For cotton plants, this speed is not fast.

You could even say it's slow.

However, she was a complete novice who had never been exposed to cultivation before, and she is currently mainly in the stage of building a foundation.

Start slowly from scratch, and your progress will gradually accelerate.

That night, Shen Yun, Wan'er, and Mianzhi took turns cooking a delicious meal to celebrate.

"Husband, am I particularly useless? Cotton Branch is already at level two, but I'm not."

Back in her room, Su Wan'er felt a little disappointed and clung to Shen Yun's arm.

It took her more than two months just to reach the first level, and even now, she's still a little short of breaking through to the second level.

Today's breakthrough in cotton branching made her directly aware of the difference in natural talent.

Although my husband is not very talented, he is very perceptive.

The breakthrough was achieved very quickly.

She was of average talent and average comprehension.

"Your problem is with the cultivation method you're switching to; you're not proficient yet. You'll get better with time."

Shen Yun held Wan'er in his arms and patiently comforted her.

Su Wan'er also switched to cultivating the Shadow Escape and Floating Light Technique, after all, this technique was much stronger than the Purple Thunder Breathing Technique, and it was also a complementary technique.

However, her talent was indeed average. After finally getting the hang of things under Shen Yun's guidance, she got stuck at a bottleneck.

The hurdles from beginner to mastery have not yet been overcome.

It's been stuck for a month now, there's nothing I can do but wait and see.

As they continued embracing, Shen Yun began to get handsy and inappropriate.

We still need to talk to Wan'er.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Shen Yun noticed a small change on the ancient scroll.

Su Wan'er

[Host satisfaction rate: 99%]

【Favourability: 100】

After Su Wan'er's favorability rating reached 96, it became very difficult to increase it even slightly.

Shen Yun understood that it was difficult to raise the favorability rating to the maximum.

Even for a couple to reach the maximum level, it's very difficult, as it means that one's whole heart must be devoted to the other.

Unexpectedly, last night, without realizing it, Su Wan'er's favorability rating had reached its maximum.

The next afternoon, while practicing her skills, Su Wan'er happily found Shen Yun to share her joy.

"My lord, I feel I've broken through the bottleneck of the Floating Light and Shadow Escape Technique. In a few days, I'll be able to break through to the second stage of Body Nourishing!"

"We've broken through!"

Shen Yun was genuinely happy for Su Wan'er.

It's only been a little over a month, and she's already broken through a small bottleneck, which proves that she has good comprehension skills.

There was nothing unusual.

They assumed that Su Wan'er had worked hard recently, and with Shen Yun's guidance, she had broken through a minor bottleneck.

Mastering it allows you to unleash 30% of the skill's effect; the "Floating Light and Shadow Escape Skill" gave her a 2.1x boost.

Very good, this is a level that many independent cultivators in the Holy City cannot reach.

For ordinary cultivators with average talent, mastering such a technique that amplifies sevenfold is already the limit.

They may never break through the bottleneck of achieving even minor success in their entire lives.

In the following days, Su Wan'er broke through another bottleneck.

Having mastered the Shadow Step technique, Shen Yun fell into deep thought.

He mainly instructed Su Wan'er on martial arts techniques.

There's been very little guidance on footwork; I've just hit a bottleneck, and theoretically, I'm still a long way from breaking through.

"That shouldn't be the case!"

Given Wan'er's talent, she had only been at the bottleneck of the Floating Light and Shadow Step for a few days, so how did she break through?

I couldn't help but recall the morning when Su Wan'er first broke through and her favorability rating reached its maximum.

These past few days, Su Wan'er seems to have had an epiphany, but her cultivation speed hasn't changed at all.

"The bottleneck doesn't exist; it's as if I've used up my blessings."

Shen Yun opened the ancient scroll panel.

[Blessing Points: 20]

[Exclusive Blessing Points: 18]

This glance had a significant impact; after doing some calculations, his eyes couldn't help but flash.

The number of Blessing Points is normal, but the number of Exclusive Blessing Points is incorrect.

You can earn ten exclusive blessing points per day.

The day before Wan'er's favorability rating was maxed out, he had exactly fifty points of his exclusive blessing left, so he used them all.

He was caught in a small epiphany about the illusory light technique.

Today is the fifth day. He has to spend six points of his exclusive blessings every day to make the Purple Thunder Breathing Technique run automatically.

The aim is to achieve perfection as soon as possible and promote the advancement of true meaning.

That way, you can save four points a day, which should give you twenty points of exclusive blessings remaining on the panel.

However, the ancient scroll shows eighteen points.

Two dots are missing.

He's useless.

Shen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.

He lacked two points, while Wan'er broke through two bottlenecks.

"Does the ancient scroll consume special blessing points to bless the partner after their affection level is maxed out?"

After careful consideration, an idea came to Shen Yun's mind.

"Wan'er, during this time you should focus on the Shadowless Floating Light Slash and see if you can also break through to master it."

Shen Yun sought out Su Wan'er, who was researching the alchemy and fire control technique "Thousands of Threads of Flame," to verify his guess.

"Yes, my husband."

Su Wan'er also shook hands confidently.

Having mastered the techniques and footwork, one must also not neglect the most crucial offensive methods.

In the following days, Su Wan'er focused on improving her "Shadow Escape and Floating Light Slash".

However, she has practiced this method the least, and hasn't yet encountered any bottlenecks; she is still in the process of improving her progress.

Shen Yun worked hard for several days, but her exclusive blessing points did not decrease, nor did she find any improvement in her cultivation progress.

"Could it be that it only works when breaking through a bottleneck?" Shen Yun couldn't help but ponder.

However, this issue is not easy to prove in a short time.

The duel between Wu Rou and the Golden Hou is about to begin.

This time, Shen Yun came to Miaoyinfang again at Huang Changxing's invitation.

Given that the last battle between Ren Changkong and the Golden Hou triggered a duel among the elders, resulting in many disciples being injured in the surrounding area.

Many people are too afraid to go and watch the scene.

If something unexpected happens during this major battle and they end up fighting directly, their small bodies won't be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, with a ten-day buffer period, many major powers in the Holy City had ways to observe the battle.

A recording array was set up not far from the battle platform, and with the help of another array, the scene in front was transmitted over a range of more than a thousand miles.

live.

This method opened Shen Yun's eyes to a whole new level.

It's a pity that only a third-tier array master could achieve the Thousand-Mile Transmission technique; his skill level is far inferior.

So Shen Yun and Huang Changxing came to Miaoyinfang to watch the melons.

"Full? No more people coming in? I've never heard of that!"

"Can't I stand? I don't need a seat!"

"I'll hang the ticket on the roof beam!"

"Damn it, I'll just go in and stand there for a bit, it costs fifty source stones!"

Today, the area in front of Miaoyinfang was packed with people, creating a lively and bustling scene.

If you didn't know better, you'd think the courtesans here were going to go to sea.

Fortunately, Huang Changxing and his group had already reserved a spot. They showed their signs and squeezed in.

"Brothers, go to the Illusionary Mist Fairy Shop or Illusionary Mist Garden, buy a packet of Illusion-Breaking Powder there, and you can watch it!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, which drove away a group of people, while another group hesitated.

I've heard that the Illusionary Mist Immortal Pavilion is a den of iniquity, capable of emptying a cultivator's pockets without their knowledge, leaving many with substantial debts.

Ultimately, the number of people in line was greatly reduced.

Some people pretended not to hear and were still trying to squeeze into Miaoyinfang or inquire about other places.

These days, most people in the Holy City have an indifferent attitude towards places like the Illusionary Mist Garden.

There are also two extremes: extreme admiration and extreme aversion.

Many people are wary of "Illusion Breaker" and would rather not join the fun or go to Illusion Mist Workshop.

"Sir, you've arrived! Please come in!"

The graceful maidservant who greeted them remembered Shen Yun and swayed her slender waist as she led them inside.

Gaining the approval of the White Crane Fairy is equivalent to becoming a VIP of the Wonderful Sound Pavilion, and all the servants must remember what they look like.

This is called doing a good deed to the end, seeing the Buddha through to the Western Paradise.

"Bring five jars of Immortal Jade Wine!"

Shen Yun waved his hand, saying that he couldn't always drink with Huang Changxing and his group, and that he would treat everyone to drinks today.

"Thank you very much, Master Shen!"

"We're going to have a good drink tonight, brothers!"

Huang Changxing and the others didn't hesitate and laughed heartily.

This time they came to the eighth floor.

At this moment, all floors of Miaoyinfang were already packed with people, their eyes fixed on the center.

Instead of fairies dancing in the atrium's open-air stage area, a phantom mountain appeared.

The mountain was cut in half at the middle, the cross-section was wide and flat, and with the blessing of the formation, it was built into the shape of a battle platform.

Many cultivators from both the human and demon races hovered high in the sky, waiting for the grand show to begin.

There were some cultivators who dared to approach, but not many; they only dared to look out from the nearby hilltops.

Everyone was afraid that, just like last time, Wu Rou and the others would fight on the battle stage while the big shots of the human and demon races fought on the sidelines.

The unlucky ones are always the onlookers.

"Please have a seat, sir."

The beautiful maidservant chose a seat near the central courtyard, curtsied, and slowly withdrew.

They all knew that today's guests weren't there to see women.

"It's still more comfortable at Miaoyin Tower; we can drink and eat there!"

Once the delicious food and wine were served, Huang Changxing looked at the central image and then at the bustling scene around him, feeling a sense of unreality.

Last time, they went near the battleground of Ren Changkong and almost got caught in the crossfire and never made it back.

"The Valkyrie has arrived!"

A sudden exclamation came from upstairs, and in an instant, the once noisy Miaoyin Tower fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone present was no ordinary person; they possessed exceptional eyesight and quickly spotted the figure appearing at the foot of the mountain.

The Valkyrie was tall and slender, like a towering pine or cypress standing proudly between heaven and earth.

The iconic silver suit clung to her body, perfectly outlining her graceful yet agile curves.

Her beauty was stunning, like the most radiant glow of dawn, breathtakingly beautiful.

However, the dark gold battle axe she carried on her back exuded a chilling and murderous intent.

The runes on the axe body flickered, as if telling countless stories of past battles, inspiring awe in anyone who saw it, and making it impossible to have the slightest thought of desecration.

Without any reference points in the picture, her height cannot be fully highlighted.

But once she appears, everyone in the entire Miaoyin Tower has to look up at her.

Shen Yun had experienced that overwhelming sense of oppression many times before.

The Valkyrie slightly bent her knees, her long legs tensed instantly, and then she exerted force, her feet slamming heavily onto the foot of the mountain.

With a single step, it was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open, causing the ground to tremble and sending soil and rocks flying everywhere.

Carrying that exaggerated battle axe on her back, she leaped up like a silver meteor, soaring straight into the sky a thousand meters high.

In mid-air, she took several steps in succession. With each step, a phantom blood-red lotus platform would appear beneath her feet, so vivid and glistening that it seemed about to drip blood.

In an instant, three blood-red lotus platforms bloomed, and her figure, as graceful as a ghost, landed steadily in the center of the battle platform.

This series of movements was executed in one smooth motion, displaying heroic and dashing style, drawing gasps of amazement from the crowd.

"Nine Lotus Sky-Stepping Steps, that was the ultimate reward of the last outer sect competition, a supreme footwork technique at the 'Scripture' level."

Once cultivation is complete, one will experience a nine-fold speed boost, with nine lotuses blooming beneath their feet, and their speed will soar to its absolute limit!

Inside the Mystic Sound Pavilion, many people recognized this miraculous technique at a glance, their eyes filled with envy.

In the vast library of the Holy Sect, there are countless inherited cultivation techniques, but there are still many unique methods that have not been included.

The same applies to Wu Rou's Nine Lotus Steps and Asura Battle Axe, as well as Ren Changkong's Blood Prison Sealing Blade.

These unique techniques added to their mystique and power.
