Chapter 9

This celestial anomaly is too terrifying!

It directly generated a terrifying oppressive force, with the strongest killing intent as if it were to burn the sky and boil the sea. The mighty will of the spirit fire spread over several dozen miles, like a mountain being moved and a sea being overturned.

The heavens changed color, and the sky trembled.

The temperature around the Qingxuan Peak instantly rose.

This power is too overwhelming!

In an instant, the entire Great Dao Sect was alarmed.

The temperature of the several spirit peaks near Qingxuan Peak suddenly soared, like a sea of fire. Many sages took action, barely suppressing the terrifying spirit fire.

Countless elders and disciples were extremely shocked, all looking towards Qingxuan Peak.

What is happening?

Soon, the Sect Master and others were also alarmed.

Countless divine senses and divine consciousnesses probed towards Qingxuan Peak.

Many Sage Kings and Sages were stunned.

On Qingxuan Peak, a celestial anomaly was triggered!

The Sect Master and others continued to probe with their divine senses.

They soon discovered the seal Ji Fuyao had set up.

Although they could easily pass through the seal with their strength, they did not continue.

However, it was clear that Ji Fuyao had gained some profound insights while cultivating!

This insight was too extraordinary, directly triggering a celestial anomaly!

At this moment, the sea of spirit fire in the void grew more intense, as if it were to refine the shadows and reflect the sky. In the depths of the endless sea of fire, brilliant divine light surged, with a mighty aura gradually presenting a sense of "Dao" and "Momentum."

The hearts of the Sect Master and others instantly surged with a massive wave!

What kind of cultivation talent is this?

To understand "Dao" and "Momentum," one must reach the Profound Sage realm!

Even some Profound Sages never have the opportunity to comprehend it in their entire lives!

What realm is Ji Fuyao at now?

The Sect Master looked at the many sages on Dan Peak, "Your spirit fire skills are profound. Have you noticed anything?"

The sages on Dan Peak had a look of shock, "Fuyao, at such a young age, has touched upon a bit of 'Dao' and 'Momentum.' This talent already has the bearing of an emperor!"

The bearing of an emperor!

The Sect Master and others were extremely excited.

The Great Dao Sect will have another emperor-level powerhouse in the future!

If Ji Fuyao reaches the Quasi-Emperor realm, she can leap to become an ancestor-level figure in the Great Dao Sect!

Everyone's hearts were surging with excitement, and they were increasingly satisfied with Ji Fuyao.

A sage on Dan Peak suddenly said, "From today's celestial anomaly, it's clear that Fuyao concealed her true abilities during the entrance examination. I finally understand why Ji Fuyao wanted to be Lu Xuan's disciple; she probably has some secrets she fears we might see."

A sage on Piaomiao Peak had a gentle gaze, "Sigh... this child. Our Great Dao Sect has many emperor-level powerhouses, but most are in seclusion or hibernation. Even if Fuyao has the bearing of an emperor, we won't covet her secrets."

The Sect Master explained, "Regarding Fuyao's secrets, the Ancestor already investigated during the entrance examination; there's nothing wrong with her."

"Moreover, now that she is a disciple of our Great Dao Sect and has taken a heavenly oath, she will not betray our sect."

Everyone nodded, "That's right! In our Great Dao Sect, there are many disciples from different factions and with different identities. If we were to nitpick, we wouldn't have the foundation of several epochs."

The Sect Master ordered, "You must not actively probe into Fuyao's secrets!"

Everyone replied, "Understood!"

A moment of silence.

A sage on Dan Peak nodded, "Fuyao is meticulous and wants to find a quiet place for cultivation, which is understandable. But why did Lu Xuan insist on taking Fuyao as a disciple?"

Everyone fell silent.

They couldn't figure it out at all.

What can you, Lu Xuan, teach?

Many sages said, "After the Inner Sect Trial, we should let Fuyao leave Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan has many bad habits, lazy and gluttonous. I'm afraid it will affect Fuyao's future cultivation."

The Sect Master nodded, "That's right! As the saying goes, 'Those who stay close to vermilion turn red, and those who stay close to ink turn black!' Fuyao will be influenced by being around Lu Xuan!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This time, Fuyao triggering the celestial anomaly once again proved her cultivation talent!

It has nothing to do with Lu Xuan!

How can such a genius be buried in Lu Xuan's hands?

At this moment, a gray-robed sage suddenly said, "Let's see what Lu Xuan is doing now."

The Sect Master said, "Let's see."

At this moment, Lu Xuan was lying leisurely on a mystic ice bed.

Feeling his cultivation foundation continuously growing, he was slightly excited.

"Beep! Your disciple Ji Fuyao's cultivation is improving, synchronizing!"

"Beep! Synchronizing the insights of the 'Heaven-Burning Decree'!"

For a moment, the spiritual energy in his body surged like a great river, continuously impacting his limbs and body.

Comfortable!

After cultivating the 'Heaven-Burning Decree,' Ji Fuyao's cultivation speed increased several times!

Lu Xuan was overjoyed!

This investment is indeed a sure win!

Giving good things to his disciple is like giving them to himself, doubled.

He just needs to lie down.

Governance without action!

Most importantly, he doesn't need to push her; she is already very diligent!

How convenient!

Thinking about this, Lu Xuan's lips curled up, feeling very pleased.

Seeing this scene,

The Sect Master and others' faces darkened; they couldn't bear to see it.

No.

While the disciple is working hard to cultivate and gain insights, the master is lying around.

Is this appropriate?

What about teaching the disciple?

You're not teaching at all!

Just lying around!

A sage on the Array Peak frowned and asked, "What is Lu Xuan laughing about?"

A sage on Dan Peak's face twitched, "I don't know... maybe he's thinking of something happy."

Everyone: "..."

They wanted to beat up Lu Xuan right now.

They thought Lu Xuan was going to reform, but this is it?

Just this!

Everyone was so angry they felt suffocated.

They couldn't help but think, fortunately, Qingxuan Sage left early; otherwise, he would have been driven to death by Lu Xuan.

The Sect Master sighed, "Actually, a few days ago, I already talked to Lu Xuan. This guy suddenly became very stubborn and refused to let Fuyao leave. Let's endure him for another month!"

Everyone shook their heads, "We have no choice."

Not long after,

The celestial anomaly triggered by Ji Fuyao gradually dissipated.

Old Mu asked seriously, "Do you think Ji Fuyao has a chance to be first in this Inner Sect Trial?"

The Sect Master said, "Impossible! In this Inner Sect Trial, the strongest True Disciple is at the late-stage Profound Sage realm, and even if Ji Fuyao reaches the Profound Sage realm, she won't be their match."

"Moreover, it's impossible for Ji Fuyao to reach the Profound Sage realm in a month, unless Lu Xuan crazily gives her pills to boost her cultivation!"

Everyone nodded, "We hope Lu Xuan doesn't ruin Ji Fuyao's cultivation foundation by piling pills to win."

The Sect Master frowned, "During this time, you should guide the Inner Sect Disciples and True Disciples more! The Inner Sect Trial must ensure Fuyao is not in the top ten!"

Everyone replied, "Understood!"

...

A few days later.

On Qingxuan Peak.

Ji Fuyao, wearing a fiery red dress, sat cross-legged, with a faint glow emanating from her body. Her star-like eyes slowly opened.

In these few days, she had used the 'Heaven-Burning Decree' to refine her cultivation foundation again.

Her cultivation is already at the late-stage Profound Emperor realm!

But the benefits are not just these.

The spiritual energy in her dantian has become several times purer!

This means her attacks will be much stronger than before!

Moreover, she inadvertently touched upon a bit of the 'Dao' and 'Momentum' of the spirit fire.

In her previous life, she only reached this level after entering the Profound Sage realm!

In these few days, she has transformed again!

The more she cultivates, the more she realizes the terrifying power of the 'Heaven-Burning Decree.'

Worthy of being a six-star imperial-level cultivation method!

Compared to her one-star imperial-level cultivation method, the 'Mystic Fire Scripture,' it is like the difference between heaven and earth.

Imperial-level cultivation methods, differing by one star, have a vast gap!

Ji Fuyao suddenly thought that when she triggered the celestial anomaly, the Sect Master and others probed with their divine senses but ultimately stopped at the seal she had set up.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, it only exposed her talent, but her identity should still be unknown!

After all, her reincarnation involves ancient secret techniques.

If discovered, even the strongest emperors of the Southern Wasteland might take action against her!

After all, the method of reincarnation is extremely extraordinary, and the strongest emperors would be eager to obtain it.

But she thought, with such a mysterious and powerful master, even if the strongest emperors of the Southern Wasteland descend, what does it matter?

A moment later,

Ji Fuyao calmed her mind and slowly stood up.

In the coming days, she needs to go to the Great Dao Sect's Fire Abyss Secret Realm.

Her Dao foundation is already complete, but her divine soul is still incomplete.

In these days of cultivation, she has already felt the impact of the incomplete divine soul.

The spirit fire in the Fire Abyss Secret Realm can refine the divine soul, which is perfect for her.

Moreover, during this time, her cultivation foundation is still not solid.

In the Fire Abyss Secret Realm, using the power of the spirit fire to solidify her cultivation foundation, refine her divine soul, and gain insights into the spirit fire's 'Dao.'

It's a threefold benefit!

Thinking of this,

Ji Fuyao moved her mind, and her identity token appeared in her hand.

Her divine consciousness probed into the token, immediately seeing the location and some introductions of the Fire Abyss Secret Realm.

Putting away the identity token, Ji Fuyao suddenly thought of not seeing her master for some time.

A warm current surged in her heart; she missed her master.

Although she had been Lu Xuan's disciple for less than a month, he occupied an important place in her heart.

Her master gave her a feeling different from anyone else.

Uncompetitive, composed, mysterious.

Ji Fuyao remembered that in these few days of cultivation, she hadn't cooked for Lu Xuan.

A sense of guilt and regret arose in her heart.

After all, she had promised Lu Xuan that as long as she was on Qingxuan Peak, she would cook.

Ji Fuyao murmured, "Before going to the Fire Abyss Secret Realm, I'll go cook for Master."

Soon,

Ji Fuyao stepped out of her cave and walked towards the thatched cottage.

She was slightly surprised.

Lu Xuan was already lying on a reclining chair outside the thatched cottage, basking in the sun.

Ji Fuyao smiled lightly.

Master is still the same!

By the way,

She hadn't seen Master cultivate.

She was curious, what level of emperor is Lu Xuan?

Lu Xuan stretched and said with a smile, "Disciple, your cultivation has improved a lot these past few days. But don't forget to solidify your cultivation foundation; cultivating too fast can be dangerous."

A divine light flickered in Ji Fuyao's eyes, and a slight ripple arose in her heart.

Sure enough, Master saw through it at a glance.

She said, "Master, I will go to the Fire Abyss Secret Realm next to solidify my cultivation and refine my divine soul... and gain insights into the spirit fire."

Lu Xuan smiled faintly, "Good. The Fire Abyss Secret Realm of our Great Dao Sect is tailor-made for you."

Ji Fuyao said apologetically, "Master, I'm sorry, I've been cultivating these past few days and forgot to cook..."

Lu Xuan laughed, "It's not a big deal. Eating is important, but so is your cultivation."

Ji Fuyao chuckled.

Sure enough, eating is important to Master.

It's even on par with cultivation!

Ji Fuyao said, "Master, I'll go cook now."

Lu Xuan tossed her a jade slip, "Fuyao, this jade slip contains different cooking methods. Try a different flavor today; I'm tired of the constant stir-frying."

Ji Fuyao took the jade slip and probed it with her divine consciousness, stunned.

The jade slip contained a complete set of cooking methods!

It was well-organized!

Many of them she had never heard of.

Stir-frying, steaming, boiling, stir-frying again, frying, and cold mixing...

She couldn't help but marvel at how Master's research on cooking had reached a profound level!

She thought, these different cooking methods must contain profound secrets.

They seem unrelated to cultivation, but they are actually closely related.

This is Master guiding her!
