Chapter 524: Chapter 438: Divine Techniques Condense, Two Aspects Become Clear

He wasn’t trying to force Sen Hui into the junior Great Sage Realm. He was merely doing everything in his power to help her Spirit Body transform into a perfect Spirit Body—a perfect Sacred Body.

As long as there was the slightest possibility, her future could hold a major turnaround.

At this very moment, in the northern medicinal garden of the Bai Zhi Dojo, countless Spirit Medicines and Spirit Grasses bloomed, releasing a divine herbal radiance that surged toward the center.

In the center, Sen Hui sat cross-legged. An ethereal Yimu phantom appeared, taking the form of a real, vigorous, ancient tree.

The Yimu phantom was now like a demonic well, madly devouring the essence of the herbs and becoming more and more lifelike, as if turning from illusion into reality.

It was worth noting that as the Yimu phantom devoured the essence, the faint phantom of a black Giant Kun appeared, roaring.

The medicinal garden was very quiet, with only the voice of Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint guiding Sen Hui’s cultivation.

Occasionally, the voice of Han Wu, the Sub-Venerable, would also emanate from a Light Mirror.

High above the clouds, Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint sighed softly. "This path is still too difficult."

The Light Mirror bobbed in the air as Han Wu’s thoughts flowed out. "Just do your best. With long-term companionship, the rest can be left to Fang Yang."

In truth, there was another, long-lost path for the Yimu Spirit Body.

That was for a Grade A Yimu Spirit Body to transform in a single leap into the Fusang Divine Tree!

However, because the path of the Golden Crow was lost back then, Han Wu never considered it.

But now, the Fusang Divine Tree had appeared, and it was with Yu Zither Immortal.

Given the circumstances, Han Wu the Sub-Venerable hadn’t pursued that line of thought. Instead, he wanted to forge a new path and help Sen Hui seize another great fortune!

"Xiaohui."

Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint’s willow-like brows shot up. She slammed her hand on the table and rose, shouting, "What are you doing? Your cultivation was going so well! Why did you suddenly break your meditative state?"

"I’m sorry, Master. It’s my fault."

"What on earth is wrong with you? Your mind is in such turmoil. This isn’t like you at all."

Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint looked over her shoulder, and a tall, straight figure came into view. Her tone was complex as she said, "Ah Yang, you’re back? It’s good that you’re back."

Fang Yang smiled. "I just came to take a look."

Han Wu the Sub-Venerable had already told him about the arrangements for Sen Hui’s path.

Taking the Fusang Golden Crow as an example, the connection between the Fusang Divine Tree and the Great Sun Golden Crow was indeed exquisite, something he had experienced not long ago.

And as a Kunpeng, it was indeed supposed to have a corresponding companion Spirit Plant.

He agreed with this point completely.

It was just that in his memory, the Kun fish didn’t have any companion Spirit Plants. It was usually associated with places like Beiming or the Vast Sea.

Therefore, he believed they should focus their efforts on the sky, on the Peng bird.

However, because of Sen Hui’s own circumstances, Han Wu the Sub-Venerable still chose to start with the Kun fish.

Now, with his return, Sen Hui’s focus was beginning to waver.

Because her eyes kept darting toward him, intentionally or not, and a smile she couldn’t suppress played on her lips.

"Stop!" Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint took a deep breath and turned to look at Fang Yang, only to see him wave goodbye.

...

Within the Bai Zhi Dojo, there was a temporary palace for him and Sen Hui, located right next to the core palace.

In the span of a breath, various Arrays gradually activated.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Yang stepped into the palace.

By now, Fang Yang had already changed into a different set of robes.

He wore a set of Frost White, snow-colored robes, engraved with precious plum blossom patterns, which made him look even more dashing and free-spirited.

Although these Frost White robes were merely Daoist robes from the Mortal Realm, Sen Hui had specially chosen them for him as everyday wear for all seasons, and he had always treasured them.

’Such rare peace. Is home wherever the heart is at ease?’

At that moment, the corners of his lips curved up slightly as he flopped onto the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

After about an hour, he sensed Sen Hui’s return.

The Arrays rumbled, and the sound of crisp footsteps followed.

In an instant, a refreshing, heart-lifting fragrance washed over him.

"Finished with your cultivation for the day so quickly?"

"No. Master said I was too impetuous and restless, and that she couldn’t stand me anymore."

She stood by the bed, beaming, tilting her head as if she couldn’t get enough of the sight of him. "It’s only been a year, but it feels like I’ve been through another War of the Profound Domain. I couldn’t help but worry about you."

"That won’t happen. I hold the Profound Domain Celestial Mandate. Within the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth, who can stand above me?"

Fang Yang comforted her, pulling her into his arms.

Sen Hui took the opportunity to hug him tightly, pressing her face against his. Her long eyelashes trembled as she said, "I know you hold the Celestial Mandate, but I’m afraid you’ll suffer the same fate as my brother."

Sen Yue’s departure had always been Sen Hui’s deepest fear.

Growing up, Sen Hui had always been bathed in Sen Yue’s radiance, a witness to his incredible power.

And Sen Yue had not disappointed her, nor had he disappointed the Sen clan lineage.

Sen Yue rose swiftly, becoming the lord of his clan. He went on to dominate the eight great Golden Clans and became the number one figure in the Mortal Realm.

Afterward, Sen Yue even condensed a true dragon of fortune, defied the heavens, and resisted a Sacred Artifact with a single hand, firmly paving his way into the domain of a Young Venerable.

At that time, she was certain that all things in the world would eventually bow at her brother’s feet.

Her brother was going to usher in the legendary era of the Dream Dao!

But...

The unexpected happened.

Her brother and the Great Sun Dragon Lady had fought to the point of mutual destruction, their fates unknown.

She didn’t know if she would ever have the chance to see her brother again in this lifetime.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry." Fang Yang gently patted her back, comforting her softly.

But her mood remained downcast. Seeing this, Fang Yang decisively rolled over.

Mmm...

The dance of fish and dragons began anew.

.........

「Celestial Domain.」

「Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life.」

"Jiuzhe, you’re finally back." Su Dao’s eyes lit up, and a great weight was lifted from his heart.

It was safe to say that Sang Xiaowan’s powerful rise had put immense pressure on him.

Both the neutral and pro-war factions of the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life were strongly leaning toward Sang Xiaowan, and it was rumored they intended to promote her as the one and only Saintess of all the various mansions.

Of course, the most crucial factor was the approval of the Longevity Diagram’s divine spirit!

And once Sang Xiaowan became the sole Saintess, Su Dao’s dream of an earthly Daoist kingdom would almost certainly turn to dust.

No matter how strong he became in this life, he feared he would be stuck at the Great Sage Realm, unable to advance another inch.

"I have no intention of helping you."

Jiuzhe shook his head. "I watched Xiaowan grow up. If you two come into conflict, I will definitely side with her."

If Su Dao didn’t still have some use, Jiuzhe would have abandoned him long ago.

In his youth, he had been utterly suppressed by Sen Yue and driven out of the Changkong clan.

As he grew older, he was pursued by juniors like Chen Chenye, finding it difficult to suppress his own generation.

Of course, the one thing that made Su Dao worthy of Jiuzhe’s attention was that he had inherited the legacy of the [Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram Manifestation].

This manifestation was of the utmost importance; it was the key for him to corrupt the Celestial Domain’s Celestial Heart Mark.

In truth, he didn’t plan to refine the Celestial Heart Mark, but to silently infiltrate it and, at the very least, siphon off a portion of its authority.

He even wanted to plot against the Demon Emperor’s dream realm to bring Sen Wei back sooner, so she could act as a counterbalance to Fang Yang and prevent his growth from being so smooth and easy.

"I know. I know all of that."

Su Dao stood up tall, full of vigor and ambition. "But now that you’re back, it proves that Sang Xiaowan and I don’t necessarily have to fight to determine who is superior."

This posture from Su Dao made Jiuzhe’s gaze deepen.

Ambition was a good thing.

But ambition that exceeded one’s capabilities? That was a bad thing!

At that moment, Jiuzhe narrowed his eyes into a faint smile and thought to himself:

’The Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram Manifestation.’

’Heh, let this Su Dao burn as brightly as he can.’

’Otherwise, I’d have to divert even more of my energy to deal with the [divine spirit of the Ten Thousand Dao Altar].’

......

「Bai Zhi Dojo.」

Under the supervision of Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint, Sen Hui once again embarked on the journey of cultivating a brand-new Skill.

Perhaps due to Fang Yang’s return, her progress in cultivating the new Skill was a bit rocky at first, but it greatly accelerated later on.

After all, this new Skill was related to Fang Yang, the Kunpeng Ancestor.

As Fang Yang slowly revealed some of the Mystical Skills of the Kunpeng lineage, Sen Hui would naturally gain some enlightenment.

’Looks like it’s about time I acquired the "Kunpeng Treasure Skill" from the Changkong Treasure Vault.’

Fang Yang gazed into the distance. ’But before that, I should also decide on my sixth Divine Technique.’

Just then, the ball of light in his mind flickered, transforming into text:

[Divine Techniques converge, two paths become clear. Roads diverge, yet all skills should return to one.]
