I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

"Wait... isn't that Saintess Mu of the Taiyin Sect?"

Among the crowd, a disciple with a sword wound on his left arm couldn't help but blurt out, his face full of astonishment and confusion.

"The Taiyin Sect's support ship is on the next mountain. How did Saintess Mu end up on our Tian Shu Sect's ship?"

This disciple's words voiced the question that had been on everyone's mind.

After all, they belong to different sects and have different factions.

Moreover, this woman is not some rogue cultivator without a background, but the famous Holy Maiden of the Taiyin Sect in the Southern Wilderness, Mu Qingxue!

This left not only the nine prodigies stunned, but even the elder in charge of the escort frowning.

The interstate flying boat is a crucial artifact of the sect, engraved with the core array patterns of the Tian Shu Sect.

According to the strict rules, no one other than disciples of the sect is allowed to board the ship.

Moreover, the other party is the Holy Maiden of a major sect like the Taiyin Sect, whose identity is extremely sensitive.

The elder leading the team quickly stepped forward. Although he was wary of the Nascent Soul Ancestor behind Su Yu, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and bow respectfully due to his duty.

"Fifth Holy Son, I am greatly pleased that you have returned safely."

The elder paused, then looked at Mu Qingxue, who was half a step behind Su Yu, and said with some difficulty.

"However... Saintess Mu is the core true disciple of the Taiyin Sect."

"According to the rules, people from other sects are not allowed to board our Tian Shu Sect's flying boats without the sect leader's special permission. What do you think of this matter..."

Upon hearing the elder question them, the nine prodigies around them all perked up their ears.

They were also extremely curious as to why this aloof and arrogant Saintess would follow Su Yu so closely, even skipping her own sect's flying boat.

Despite the elder's obstruction, Su Yu remained calm and did not move an inch.

"She will no longer be a member of the Taiyin Sect."

Su Yu spoke casually, as if he were talking about an extremely trivial matter.

"She is now my Daoist partner. I must take her back to the main peak to see my master."

This statement came out.

A deathly silence fell over the deck of the airship.

The disciple who had spoken earlier stared wide-eyed, while the rest of the people nearly dropped their jaws onto the deck.

Daoist partners?!

He spent a month wandering in the secret realm, not only emerging unscathed but also turning the Holy Maiden of the Taiyin Sect into his Daoist partner?!

What made them even more chilled was that Mu Qingxue heard such a declaration that could be described as destroying someone's innocence.

Instead of drawing his sword to attack, he stood quietly behind Su Yu, his eyes slightly lowered, tacitly agreeing!

The team leader gasped in shock.

He astutely grasped the two fatal words in Su Yu's words.

Daoist couple.

Main peak.

Going to the main peak to see the master is the same as going to see the Supreme Elder!

How could a mere team leader dare to interfere with such a shocking scandal involving the family affairs of a Nascent Soul cultivator and his Holy Son's Daoist partner?

rule?

Rules are meant to be broken in front of the direct disciples of the Nascent Soul Ancestor!

The elder's troubled expression vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely smooth smile.

"I see! Since she is the Holy Son's Dao Companion, she is practically family to my Heavenly Pivot Sect, and naturally, she is not bound by the rules of outsiders."

The elder turned to the side and made a gesture of invitation with utmost respect.

"Holy Son, Holy Daughter, please return to your cabin to rest. The airship will now depart."

Rules and privileges were on full display at this moment.

Su Yu nodded slightly, said no more nonsense, and led Mu Qingxue straight to the most luxurious private cabin on the top floor of the flying boat.

The nine prodigies left on the deck looked at each other, watching the two figures leave. The last trace of arrogance in their eyes, born from fighting and seizing treasures, was completely crushed.

Comparing yourself to others can be deadly.

They are still fighting tooth and nail for a few spiritual herbs and a broken magic artifact.

Not only were they completely unharmed, but they even brought home the most powerful saintess in the Southern Wilderness, and even the sect elders had to obediently smile and fawn over them.

"set sail!"

With a loud shout from the team leader.

The giant flying ship emitted a deep roar, broke through the clouds above the wasteland, and transformed into a streak of light, speeding straight towards the direction of the Tian Shu Sect.

……

A few days later.

The flying boat landed smoothly on the Heavenly Pivot Sect's Immortal Reception Platform.

Su Yu led Mu Qingxue off the deck, ignoring the astonished gazes of the inner disciples and stewards along the way, and went straight back to the summit of the main peak.

Inside the cave.

The Celestial Ancestor Tian Shu was sitting at the stone table brewing tea.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, the old monster slightly raised his eyelids, speaking casually as if asking his disciple if his walk down the mountain went smoothly.

"You're back?"

"I'm back, Master."

Su Yu walked to the stone table and, without any intention of hiding anything, took off the dozen or so storage bags from his waist.

He turned the bag upside down and released a small amount of magical power.

"Splash!"

Countless ancient jade slips, rows of perfectly preserved top-grade pills, and piles of rare spiritual materials instantly formed a small mountain in the spacious cave.

This is not finished.

With a flick of his wrist, Su Yu placed a delicate bronze incense burner, about the size of a palm, gleaming with an ancient blue light and radiating spiritual energy, steadily onto the stone table.

The Furnace of Creation of All Things.

Mysterious Heavenly Treasure.

Standing behind Su Yu, Mu Qingxue's heart skipped a beat.

She had assumed that Su Yu would hide this divine artifact, which was enough to cause bloodshed throughout the Southern Wilderness, away.

Keep your wealth hidden; this is the most basic common sense in the world of cultivation.

Even among close masters and disciples, there are countless examples of people turning against each other over treasures of this caliber.

But he actually put himself right in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator so openly.

Ancestor Tian Shu looked at the ancient inheritances scattered on the ground, and finally his gaze fell on the Creation Furnace.

He picked up the bronze furnace and sensed the fundamental laws contained within it, as well as the extremely docile state of the newly born artifact spirit.

With the perspective of someone at the Nascent Soul stage, they naturally recognized what it was at a glance.

Mysterious Heavenly Treasure.

If this thing were placed in the outside world, it would indeed be enough to make those Nascent Soul stage monsters tear off their masks and fight to the death.

However, for the Nascent Soul stage experts who stand at the pinnacle of the Southern Wilderness, it is not a rare or unfamiliar thing.

What truly caused a ripple to appear in the usually calm and unwavering eyes of the Celestial Pivot Ancestor was not the furnace itself.

It was Su Yu.

A cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment casually placed a Xuan Tian spiritual treasure, which could only be barely controlled by a Nascent Soul cultivator, on the table as if it were a teapot.

Moreover, judging from the docile aura of this artifact spirit, which is as obedient as a fledgling bird, it is clearly taking the initiative to recognize its master, without even the slightest risk of backlash!

This is the most outrageous part!

The old monster sent Su Yu to the secret realm, thinking that with the kid's luck, he could at most get some top-grade magic artifacts and ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

Who would have thought that this kid, after wandering around for a month, would not only steal the core treasure trove that the Myriad Manifestations Sect had kept hidden for thousands of years, but also...

Even this kind of profound spiritual treasure came back with him as if it were given to him for free.

What incredible luck!

It's as if God was afraid his disciple wouldn't have enough experience outside, so He forced him to eat right up to his throat!

The Celestial Ancestor Tian Shu showed no sign of greed; instead, he stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

The laughter carried a sense of exhilaration, as if witnessing some outrageous miracle.

"You've emptied out the core treasure trove of the Myriad Manifestations Sect."

Ancestor Tian Shu casually placed the Creation Furnace back in front of Su Yu and gave him a deep look.

"Today, I have truly witnessed what it means to be destined by Heaven."

"To subdue a profound spiritual treasure during the Foundation Establishment stage without suffering any backlash—such a stroke of luck was unheard of even in ancient times."

This furnace, for someone at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, could neither help him break through the barrier above his head nor allow him to live an extra thousand years.

He placed all his bets on Su Yu's luck.

The more extraordinary the disciple's opportunities and the deeper their foundation, the greater their chances of breaking through the barriers in the future.

He was too happy to possibly steal his apprentice's things.

"Take these jade slips to the Internal Affairs Pavilion and make a copy. Leave it for the sect, and you can exchange it for a lot of contribution points."

"As for this furnace and elixir, keep them for yourself; you'll need them for your future cultivation."

With just a few words, the old monster clearly allocated these resources, enough to make outsiders lose their minds.

After listening, Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony with his master and smiled as he put the Creation Furnace and the elixir on the table into his storage bag.

"Thank you very much, Master. Then this disciple will shamelessly accept them all."

He knew perfectly well how the Ancestor Tian Shu had treated him over the past ten years.

He used a supreme treasure to cleanse his bones and bones, and personally went into seclusion to help him modify his cultivation method.

Su Yu naturally regarded this selfless act of protecting him as a true elder.

After putting away his things, Su Yu turned around and pulled Mu Qingxue, who had been standing quietly behind him, to his side, and introduced her to Ancestor Tian Shu in a generous manner.

"Master, this is Mu Qingxue, the Holy Maiden of the Taiyin Sect. She was ambushed in the secret realm this time, and I helped her out."

Su Yu looked at Tian Shu, his tone very serious.

"We have already consummated our yin and yang. From now on, she will be my Daoist partner."

Ancestor Tian Shu put down his teacup, and only then did his gaze truly fall on Mu Qingxue.

Just one glance.

The divine sense of the Nascent Soul stage swept over her limbs and bones without any hindrance.

There was no need for any aura observation techniques; that extremely pure Yin energy was as clear as the lines on the palm of the hand in front of Ancestor Tian Shu.

"Dual Cultivation Body of Profound Yin and Yang"

The old monster uttered these five words softly.

Mu Qingxue froze, her hands instinctively clenching the hem of her clothes.

Although she was mentally prepared, being directly exposed to her biggest secret by a Nascent Soul cultivator still put her under immense pressure.

Sensing the tension in the woman beside him, Su Yu gave her a reassuring look, then calmly met Tian Shu's gaze.

"Master has keen insight. That old monster from the Taiyin Sect has ill intentions and wants to use her as a key to breaking through his cultivation."

"Since I've acknowledged her, I can't stand by and watch her be exploited, so I brought her back."

Seeing Su Yu's protective attitude, the Heavenly Pivot Ancestor was not angry at all; instead, his smile deepened.

The dual cultivation of Yin and Yang is a fatal temptation for others, but it is meaningless to him, who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

He wanted to break through his current realm, and the only way to do that was to break down the barrier between realms.

On the contrary, Su Yu's luck made him feel more and more that God's arrangement was unreasonable.

With such a physique to aid him, his disciple's future path of cultivation would only be smoother.

"Since it's your destiny, then stay on the main peak."

With a final decision, the Heavenly Pivot Ancestor definitively settled Mu Qingxue's identity.

"If the Taiyin Sect dares to have any complaints, I will personally go and reason with them."

The heavy stone that had been weighing on Mu Qingxue's heart for twenty years was finally shattered.

The powerful being personally promised it.

From that moment on, her life was truly saved.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master."

Su Yu grinned and bowed to express his gratitude.

Mu Qingxue also bowed deeply, her voice trembling slightly.

"Qingxue thanks the Supreme Elder."
