I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Xu Yan and Meng Chong, just like before, suddenly disappeared without a trace, and no matter how they were searched for, their whereabouts could not be discerned.

"Do these two have some Supreme Treasure to conceal themselves?"

Tian Shiqi frowned.

All the treasures had been sent to the Wind Spirit Tiger, and since the people had not been found, it naturally had no idea how to begin. If so, wouldn't it mean that the treasures were gratuitously given to the Wind Spirit Tiger?

Spiritual Sovereign Mountain, Tian Shiqi came once again.

"What, have you found them?"

The Wind Spirit Tiger sat on its throne, looking down at Tian Shiqi from above, which made Tian Shiqi's complexion darken; this Spirit Tiger seemed to be taking more and more pleasure in putting on airs.

"Wind Spirit King, let's change the request. Don't kill Xu Yan and Meng Chong, help me with another matter."

"Also... what do you think I, the Wind Spirit King, am? To change as you wish? If you want to change the deal, that's fine, but bring another portion of treasures, or forget it!"

As soon as the Wind Spirit Tiger spoke, what was intended to be an agreement was altered on the spot.

Tian Shiqi swept a glance at the Splendid Tiger next to the Wind Spirit Tiger; it seemed that the changes in the Wind Spirit Tiger were brought by this very tiger.

It included, too, the transformations of Spiritual Sovereign Mountain, which were also related to it.

"Wind Spirit King, twice as much is a bit too much."

Tian Shiqi shook his head and said.

"Not too much, it must be twice!"

The Wind Spirit Tiger was firm in its stance.

The younger brother is right, why exert oneself when benefits can be obtained for free?

One must prepare additional treasures to be offered in order to ask for more effort, only then will the dignity of the Wind Spirit King not be compromised!

Tian Shiqi pondered for a while and then spoke, "How about this, I can offer up twice the treasures, but the task I need your help with is not within the Nine Mountain Realm, you'll need to leave the Nine Mountain Realm..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Wind Spirit Tiger interrupted, "Leave the Nine Mountain Realm? With such a long journey, so far away, twice the amount is not enough!"

Damn!

Tian Shiqi's face darkened.

He looked at the Red Cat, contemplated for a moment, and sent a telepathic message: "I'll give you a portion of treasures, persuade the Wind Spirit King, how about that?"

The Red Cat replied discreetly; "Big brother Wind Spirit is the king of Spiritual Sovereign Mountain, how could he leave so easily? It's not possible!"

The attitude was extremely firm.

"This way, if you convince the Wind Spirit King, I'll give you a portion of treasures to help your bloodline advance, and become an Immortal Realm Spirit Beast, how about that!"

Tian Shiqi seemed to have made up his mind, willing to pay a high price to enlist the aid of the Wind Spirit King.

"Plus, rest assured, the Wind Spirit King won't be leaving the Nine Mountain Realm right away; you have enough time to ascend to immortality. Thus, even if the Wind Spirit King departs, with you in charge, Spiritual Sovereign Mountain's Spirit Beasts won't be without a Spirit Beast King to rule them!"

Upon hearing this, the Red Cat couldn't help but ponder, Tian Shiqi insisting on partnering with the Wind Spirit Tiger must have some unsaid reasons, even something that could threaten the Wind Spirit Tiger.

However, since it's not an immediate departure, naturally, there's still an opportunity.

Moreover, the treasures that would assist it in ascending to the Immortal Realm were definitely extraordinary; although it was not a Spirit Beast and cultivated using the Great Demon Method, such treasures would surely bring it a substantial enhancement.

"With the Wind Spirit Tiger gone, the time will come for me to establish the Demon Clan. I, Red Cat the Great Demon King, should make my appearance too. The scheme of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow is certainly ambitious and might even endanger the life of the Wind Spirit Tiger.

"However, no matter how you look at it, the Wind Spirit Tiger is a powerhouse of my Tiger Tribe, and now I call it big brother. If I save its life, it should, in turn, call me the king later, becoming a great general under the rule of the Great Demon King—that would be only natural."

Thinking in this way, Red Cat replied: "That's my big brother; how can I send it to danger? The price must be increased!"

The expression under Tian Shiqi's mask grew even darker. This Splendid Tiger truly knew no bounds in its greed, but a greedy tiger was easier to use.

If the Wind Spirit Tiger were to fail, there would still be this tiger to make use of.

"Agreed!"

Tian Shiqi nodded.

"Then give my big brother three portions of treasures and give me two; I fear one portion might not be enough for the breakthrough!"

The Red Cat stated this as if it were a matter of course.

Since Tian Shiqi insisted on the cooperation of the Wind Spirit Tiger, it naturally had to extract a hefty sum.

"Then so be it," Tian Shiqi agreed.

He then spoke again, "Wind Spirit King, three portions of treasures, and not a bit more."

"Good, it's a deal!"

The Wind Spirit Tiger readily agreed, quite decisively.

Tian Shiqi became increasingly convinced that the Splendid Tiger was the true decision-maker.

"When the time is right, I will deliver the treasures."

Tian Shiqi turned and left.

...

Xu Yan swallowed the Seven Wonders Divine Flower in one gulp, his entire being emanated a seven-colored aura, and he was immersed in an epiphany. The path of Martial Arts that he had traversed all this time unfolded before him.

Greater enlightenment began to dawn within.

Upon the untainted foundation of martial arts shimmered a radiant glow. Atop the Spirit Pedestal, the Primordial Spirit opened its eyes, as if beholding one scene after another.

In the hazy chaos, a realm appeared.

And within it, a towering figure that could command the reverence of any martial artist.

Submerged in these insights, Xu Yan's body was haloed in seven-colored radiance, slowly refining the Seven Wonders Divine Flower.

"My path in martial arts."

"In the Holy Sword Realm, all swords bow, none defy... I see now. I've finally grasped how to cultivate the Holy Sword Realm. The gates to the Holy Sword Realm have opened."

Xu Yan had a moment of clarity, comprehending the profound mysteries of the Holy Sword Realm; he understood completely how to cultivate it.

The path was long and arduous but he had at last found his direction.

At this moment, Xu Yan's Wisdom Sword Realm reached completion.

His aura grew stronger as well, only one step away from the grand completion of the Physiognomy Realm.

The Sacred Body of the Mountains and Rivers, too, was suffused with glowing light, its aura steadily rising.

Time passed unknowingly.

Finally, he took that step, and his aura surged dramatically.

Physiognomy Realm grand completion!

One step closer to the Void-breaking Realm.

"To embody the realm between heaven and earth, to use the physiognomy as the form of that realm, to harness the principles of one's martial arts as the laws governing that realm..."

Xu Yan was immersed in the comprehension of the Domain Martial Arts Law.

He was just one step shy from fully understanding the Domain Realm.

Now, under the influence of the Seven Wonders Divine Flower, he organized his martial arts path, from the Qi-Blood Realm all the way to the understood Void-breaking Realm, integrating every stage to present a clear path of martial arts.

The Domain Realm, too, was beginning to emerge on this martial path.

"So this is how it is. I understand now!"

After an indeterminate amount of time, Xu Yan suddenly had an epiphany. The path of martial arts expanded instantly and continued to extend, as if entering a new realm.

This was a significant leap forward on the path of martial arts.

The Domain Martial Arts Law was realized in this moment.

The seven-colored radiance enveloping him was also fading away.

Xu Yan exhaled deeply and opened his eyes, "Seductive Witch, truly a kind soul, this Seven Wonders Divine Flower is indeed an extraordinary treasure. I wonder if she has any more precious items."

At this moment, Xu Yan wanted to meet the Seductive Witch again, to inquire whether she possessed anything even more miraculous than the Seven Wonders Divine Flower.

If so, he wouldn't mind being "schemed against" by her.

"The Domain Realm, I have comprehended it."

Xu Yan was thrilled.

"I'll strive to break through to the Void-breaking Realm as soon as possible."

Now that he had achieved grand completion in the Physiognomy Realm, the Void-breaking Realm wasn't too far off. However, before the breakthrough, he needed to build up a foundation that could transform during the breakthrough.

"The Void-breaking Realm should be the final transformation, right? The Domain Realm likely cannot be transformed further, as that is no longer a realm of physical transformation."

Xu Yan had another epiphany.

The transformation upon breaking through to the Void-breaking Realm would be the last physical transformation.

The Domain Realm had surpassed the level of physical transformation.

Even if transformation were possible, it would not be physical anymore, and perhaps could no longer be achieved by simply accumulating foundations.

"Within ten years to break the void!"

Xu Yan set himself a minor goal, to break through to the Void-breaking Realm within ten years.

"If the Seductive Witch assists me, perhaps it won't even take ten years!"

Xu Yan muttered to himself.

"It seems there's a Witch Heavenly Grotto in the Changyun Realm; I wonder if there's a way to make the Seductive Witch seek me out."

Xu Yan pondered.

With her strength, the Seductive Witch must be tremendously powerful. The more powerful the individual, the more wondrous items they possess—definitely possessing items surpassing the Seven Wonders Divine Flower.

"Changyun Realm, here I come!"

Xu Yan left the cave, waved his hand to retrieve the Array Plate, and soared into the sky, heading towards a grand city within the Changyun Realm to gather information, particularly about the location of the Heavenly Grottos.

"With my current strength, even ordinary Immortal Heavenly Venerables could not trouble me."

Xu Yan's confidence surged, trusting in the Yin Yang Undying Sword that even facing a top-tier Immortal Heavenly Venerable like Emperor Da Yue, he could resist and easily escape.

One day later, a grand city rose into sight. Xu Yan entered the city, beginning to learn about the Heavenly Grottos within the Changyun Realm, looking for any chance to attract the Seductive Witch.
