Today marks the fifth day of Mr. Gu’s arrival in Chuyun City, and the fourth day of the Immortal Ascension Conference. You Su won his matches as expected, although he did not replicate the one-sword throat-sealing elegance of Sheng Ziling from the first match. Wu Cheng, on the other hand, triumphed in all three battles effortlessly, without a single drop of blood shed.
By sheer coincidence, You Su and Wu Cheng have yet to face each other in battle, as if fate itself is set on saving their first encounter for the grand finale of this Immortal Ascension Conference.
The crowd finds joy in this scene, blind to the causality behind the coincidence, thus allowing them to wrap the battle in a filter of destiny and eagerly anticipate the final showdown tomorrow.
You Su is no exception, eager to take his first step toward the Divine Mountain. His speed quickens, but he nearly stumbled to the ground.
It wasn’t that You Su misunderstood the Ruyi Wind Manipulation Skill, but rather last night’s secret session with his junior sister was too stimulating. This stimulation wasn’t the kind of direct skin-to-skin contact with Ji Lingruo, but rather the stimulation within You Su’s own spiritual platform.
Without the obstruction of waist clothing, the Profound Qi urged from Ji Lingruo’s lower abdon didn’t just guide externally but slightly penetrated and rged with Ji Lingruo’s own Profound Qi.
This not only made Ji Lingruo feel the Qi flow more orderly but inadvertently established a weak cycle with You Su’s internal Qi. This thod was originally sothing You Su understood from the Dual Cultivation Skill, the fact that their Qi interlinked without rejection allowed them to recycle and integrate the heavens and earth’s Profound Qi, making them both feel ethereal.
Previously, You Su could only teach for half an hour before exhaustion overca him, but last night, he managed nearly an hour without much fatigue.
You Su dared to swear, he was not driven by an infatuation with the softness of the girl’s waist, which he was forced to endure with great difficulty. It was Ji Lingruo herself who enjoyed the session imnsely and ordered You Su to continue teaching without pause.
Until teaching reached the lower body, where You Su was guiding her thighs, the girl suddenly tensed as if feeling sothing, grasping You Su’s hand to stop him. Yet the Qi was halfway, and how could he halt so abruptly? You Su finished his current move before discontinuing. The girl suddenly seed to deflate, her body barely standing as she trembled slightly, scolding You Su with a hint of tears, "Idiot," and angrily punched him before running off, thus forcibly ending the session.
Feeling the slippery fragrance of sweat in hand, You Su admitted wrongdoing and resolved not to let his junior sister wear such attire again, regardless of the teaching effectiveness.
You Su’s understanding of his sect’s Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Joyful Union Skill grew ever deeper, though the Dual Cultivation Skill was promising, now was not its ti. He is confident the path between him and Ji Lingruo is long yet to travel.
At dawn, You Su sat in ditation, observing his spiritual platform. Within, it brimd with vitality, far surpassing the results of solitary ditation before, now he felt inexhaustible energy coursing through him, making practicing the Ruyi Wind Manipulation Skill slightly challenging due to the sudden surge in Profound Qi.
Turning to the Ruyi Wind Manipulation Skill, before reaching the Feather Transformation Realm, cultivators can’t ascend because without the sedintation provided by the Condensed Water Realm, the Qi concentration within still falls far short of enabling free aerial movent.
Thus, body technique manuals are imnsely valuable to cultivators below Feather Transformation Realm, categorized into three major functions: first for assisted long-distance pursuit; second for short-distance maneuvering; third for minutely precise evasion.
The Ruyi Wind Manipulation Skill encompasses the first two functions, comprising the Wind Manipulation Skill and Wind-Riding Ladder Skill.
Wind Control enables cultivators to travel a thousand miles leveraging wind, conserving substantial amounts of Profound Qi.
Wind-riding Ladder allows brief air ascension, even for cultivators below Feather Transformation Realm. The principle is to compress Qi at foot center, releasing it to make the caster feel as though stepping onto a wind-created stairway, ascending step-by-step.
Unlike the wanton flying of Feather Transformation Realm cultivators, performing Wind-Riding Ladder is extrely arduous, requiring precise control and restraint over elevation imbalance and Qi compression induced exhaustion.
Yet You Su excels in this, particularly after repeated teaching sessions with his junior sister, he feels his Qi circulates with absolute autonomy. Despite this, You Su cannot imdiately soar to the heavens, alternating left and right foot releases, appearing constantly single-legged hopping, comical yet relishing.
...
Tonight, under a sparse, starry sky, Gu Yao stood atop the city’s tallest roof, gazing into the night sky through the bright moonlight, feeling as though he sees a mysterious fog.
The fog looms mysteriously detached from the clouds, as if on a separate plane. Gu Yao even feels the fog is perpetual, as Chuyun City always has fog at dawn, and under blazing sun, though pierced by intense light, remains unseen.
Amidst these peculiar musings, suddenly sensing an approaching presence, he focuses, surprised to find soone utterly without cultivation, sparking his intrigue.
The white figure flutters across rooftops swiftly toward Gu Yao, revealed as a curvaceous woman in a white dress. Unexpectedly, she stands atop a higher point than his, prompting a twinge of dissatisfaction. Upon closer look, he nearly dropped to his knees in fear.
He had only seen her features once when ascending to an outer sect position, unforgettable, feeling she is a true Divine Maiden descending, hurriedly bowing, he declares:
"Gu Yao pays respect to the Third Elder!"
Little did he expect, the Lotus Sword Venerable from Profound Sky Sect, missing for eight years, would encounter him here, clearly intending to approach.
"Hmm." He Shutong’s tone is lightly indifferent, "Are you here for the Dream-eating Ghost matter?"
"Indeed." Gu Yao dares not conceal.
"Leave it. I’ll handle this region."
Gu Yao is astounded internally, yet cannot defy the Lotus Sword Venerable, though hesitates, "Gu Yao may be able to assist."
"I’ve summoned assistance, against true Dream-eating Ghosts, a hundred of you is nowhere near as useful as her."
Gu Yao’s shock deepens, faintly suspecting the identity of the aide the Lotus Sword Venerable ntions, surprised Profound Sky Sect permits her release.
"By the way, you have a new task."
"Third Elder, please command!"
"Before I return, covertly protect a youth nad You Su in this city, but don’t be obvious."
He Shutong briefly gazes toward the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect location, purses her lips, and upon finishing, departs swiftly.
"Gu Yao acknowledges."
Gu Yao watches the Lotus Sword Venerable’s shadow rge into the night, recalling the unforgettable blind youth, breeding new curiosities within.
