Chapter 292: Utensils
“I just can’t help but shake my head and chuckle. Uncle Sun really loves to gossip,” Yue Hongling said with a laugh, shaking her head.
Sun Ruowei, seeing this, couldn’t help but smile bashfully.
“Ahem, you guys just don’t understand the joy of gossip. That feeling of uncovering secrets is like pursuing the Dao. The Dao has no end, and neither does gossip, but it can bring boundless delight,” Sun Ruowei said.
The two of them…
Well, they just couldn’t feel it.
Sun Ruowei’s attempt at probing failed, and she disappeared without a trace.
The smile on Yue Hongling’s face vanished.
“Master, Sun Ruowei keeps wanting to know the truth about you and me. If she finds out how hypocritical you really are, harming your own disciple, how will she view you then?” Yue Hongling asked expressionlessly.
“Hongling, am I hypocritical?” Bai Qiulan’s face looked a bit grim.
Yue Hongling’s expression changed, and her face turned red.
“Not hypocritical…”
Bai Qiulan sighed.
“Sun Ruowei is your uncle and the best friend of Master. As long as we keep our mouths shut and you don’t act out, there should be no problems,” Bai Qiulan said.
“Master, I understand.”
“Hmm, good to understand.”
Bai Qiulan thought for a moment, “Now that I’ve reached the Fifth Level of the Return to One Realm, it won’t take long to reach the Fourth Level, but you’ve just broken through the Return to One Realm. Your progress is too slow; you need to speed up your cultivation.”
Yue Hongling nodded.
The **Eternal Countercurrent Sutra** began to operate.
“Don’t cultivate this; your **Dao of the Fearless** is just not cutting it anymore. Just focus on practicing the **Chaos Yin Poison Scripture** from now on.”
Yue Hongling suddenly looked up.
The **Chaos Yin Poison Scripture**, to put it bluntly, was an auxiliary technique specifically used to absorb and share **Chaos Yin Poison**.
The **Eternal Countercurrent Sutra** was the real main cultivation method, a supreme technique that combined the pursuit of the Dao, enhancement of cultivation, and combat skills.
It was something Lu Ye had put in a lot of effort to obtain from the **Fearless Great Emperor**.
And now, Bai Qiulan wanted Yue Hongling to give up cultivating this method.
There was no doubt that she completely didn’t want Yue Hongling to pursue any Dao anymore; from now on, Yue Hongling would just be her tool.
“Yes, Master…”
Yue Hongling’s expression was sinister, but she still obediently lowered her head and acknowledged.
…
Lu Ye’s injuries healed.
And his cultivation had already risen to the Sixth Level of the Spirit Communication Realm.
His soul consciousness experienced a tremendous boost, with the range of perception expanding more than tenfold compared to before he entered the Spirit Communication Realm.
Quite exaggerated.
After the Spirit Communication Realm comes the Realm of Domain.
The so-called Realm of Domain is essentially the initial grasp of the power of Heaven and Earth; however, it cannot be manipulated freely, so it can only be used roughly to form a kind of amplifying domain.
The entire Realm of Domain is constantly enhancing one’s control over the power of Heaven and Earth.
Lu Ye was also about to regain control over the power of Heaven and Earth.
But obviously, he handled it with great ease since his **Celestial Lord Fist** was all about the unity of Heaven and Earth.
“Hurry up and break through the **Aroma of Achievement in Dao**!”
Lu Ye could hardly wait.
Lin Chuyue was also practicing; she found out that her cultivation speed was surprisingly fast while training next to Lu Ye. Not only was her speed fast, but her understanding of the Dao also became intensely active, allowing her to delve deeper into the Dao.
Turns out, among all the practitioners at the Realm of Heaven and Earth, her understanding of the Dao was quite exceptional since she was from the **Heavenly Gate**, a messenger of the Heavenly Dao.
But now, Lin Chuyue felt that her level of understanding of the Dao was approaching a higher standard.
What kind of person is this?
Just being near him while cultivating can lead to rapid growth in comprehension of the Dao?
Isn’t it a bit too absurd?
Lin Chuyue was filled with curiosity, but she understood now that Lu Ye was a rather tight-lipped person. If she tried to ask him directly, she definitely wouldn’t get anything out of it.
No need to rush, take it slow.
She’d need about ten more years or so to reach the next level in her cultivation.
The Fourth Heaven had nothing much going on anyway, so she might as well enjoy the show beside Lu Ye.
She took out the **Transmitting Stone**.
From the **Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion**, a location belonging to another **Mountain Sea Sect** was revealed.
As time passed, these two sects had completely crumbled.
With the curse at work, they couldn’t hide themselves at all, and they were too scared to gather together, afraid that their eyes would turn blood-red at any moment without them noticing.
Some core disciples from the two sects couldn’t take it anymore and started spilling their sect’s secret techniques.
Once this began, it just wouldn’t stop.
Other disciples saw that the sect’s secret techniques had already been leaked, so why should they care?
They started talking!
They didn’t have any prohibitions against disclosing the secret techniques.
Such prohibitions were easy to bind the soul, and unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t be used.
So, the secret techniques of the **Mountain Sea Sect** and the **Invincible Sword Sect** were spread everywhere.
Now everyone understood why disciples from large sects were stronger than their peers at the same realm.
Those secret techniques were indeed impressive!
The sword techniques of the **Supreme Sword Sect**, the Dao techniques of the **Mountain Sea Sect**, were all exceptionally marvelous, opening the eyes of scattered cultivators and small sects.
It could be said that Lu Ye made an indelible contribution to the balanced development of the Fourth Heaven!
The disciples of the two major sects thought that leaking their secret techniques might improve their situation.
In reality, they were just overestimating themselves.
Because human greed is insatiable, they alone knew how greedy it could get.
Even if they revealed all their secret techniques, it wouldn’t be enough for others because people would think they surely had more powerful secret techniques still hidden.
They thought spilling the secret techniques would improve their situation, but in fact, their situation worsened.
The number of disciples from the two sects rapidly decreased.
One by one, they died quietly, and in extreme pain.
Some were subjected to memory extraction.
Some died from the torment of grand memory restoration techniques.
Lu Ye’s figure had already arrived at a cliff, where formations shimmered, indicating that someone was in secluded cultivation.
Generally, such situations wouldn’t be disturbed, but Lu Ye knew who was cultivating here; the formation was merely to obscure the black mist.
Lu Ye simply approached.
A figure flew out from the formation.
That person was tall and once a major player who turned on Lu Ye and surrounded him.
His name was Lu Yuan; amusingly enough, he shared the same surname as Lu Ye; they were from the same family.
The two met.
No small talk.
Lu Yuan suddenly erupted with intense brown energy, his body growing larger, exuding terrifying pressure, as countless runes burst forth, charging towards Lu Ye.
Here it comes!
Lu Ye let out a long howl!
The **Stone Sword** erupted with the most brilliant light and struck out.
“Boom!”
The sword light shattered, and two figures transformed into streaks of light, dancing rapidly through the heavens and earth.
Sometimes colliding suddenly, other times intertwining with one another.
