Chapter 69: Sword Bestowal

Cui Yayun smiled slightly and said, "There's no need to be so nervous. I, as your master, am not so despicable as to snatch my own disciple's opportunity. However, even if you have your own cultivation method, I will still impart the peak's cultivation method to you. Whether or not to cultivate it is up to you. As for the cultivation method you are currently practicing, since you don't want to reveal it, I won't force you. However, I won't be able to give you guidance in cultivation, so you'll have to figure it out on your own."

"Today, I will only impart the peak's fundamental cultivation method, the 'Water Moon Frost Flow Technique,' and the peak's highest martial art, the 'Green Jade Sky Reflection Sword Technique.' As for the other cultivation methods and martial arts of this peak, you can seek guidance from your senior sisters, Zuoqiu or Luo, in the future."

When Chu Jianqiu heard Cui Yayun's words, he felt deeply ashamed. He had truly thought that Cui Yayun wanted him to hand over the cultivation method of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique. Now it seemed he had overreacted.

However, it was understandable for Chu Jianqiu to be so cautious. The Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique was truly too extraordinary, a cultivation method created by an ancient great being from the Chaos era. Chu Jianqiu estimated that the level of this cultivation method far exceeded the entire Southern Continent martial world's understanding.

For a cultivation method of this level, if others were to know about it, they might be tempted by greed. In the martial world, it's not uncommon for masters and disciples to kill each other, or for spouses to turn against each other, all for opportunities.

Cui Yayun had Chu Jianqiu come closer, and she extended her finger to touch his forehead. Chu Jianqiu immediately felt a large amount of information flood his mind, and two cultivation methods appeared in his mind—the 'Water Moon Frost Flow Technique' and the 'Green Jade Sky Reflection Sword Technique.'

Seeing these two cultivation methods, Chu Jianqiu was deeply shocked. The 'Water Moon Frost Flow Technique' was a lower-grade Earth Rank cultivation method, and the 'Green Jade Sky Reflection Sword Technique' was also a lower-grade Earth Rank martial art.

To impart two Earth Rank cultivation methods at once, the Xuanjian Sect's foundation was indeed profound.

After imparting these two cultivation methods, Cui Yayun's complexion became even paler.

"The 'Water Moon Frost Flow Technique' you can study on your own, and whether or not to cultivate it is up to you. The 'Green Jade Sky Reflection Sword Technique' is one of the seven sword techniques of our Xuanjian Sect. If practiced to perfection, its power is not inferior to that of a middle-grade Earth Rank martial art."

"The 'Green Jade Sky Reflection Sword Technique' has fifteen levels. Follow me, and I will demonstrate it for you."

Cui Yayun stood up, walked out of the hall, and came to the square outside. She slowly drew her long sword.

Even though Cui Yayun appeared extremely weak at the moment, as soon as the sword was unsheathed, a fierce sword aura immediately emanated from her slender body, piercing the clouds.

The sword aura alone was so powerful that it split the white clouds in the night sky into several cracks.

Chu Jianqiu was deeply shaken by this sight. This was the power of a Core Formation Realm expert.

Under this overwhelming sword aura, Chu Jianqiu felt as weak as an ant, with no resistance.

At the same time, Chu Jianqiu felt an infinite longing. This, he realized, was what true strength looked like.

Cui Yayun began to demonstrate the 'Green Jade Sky Reflection Sword Technique,' and the fierce sword aura enveloped the entire Fourth Peak. However, Cui Yayun controlled the power of the sword aura with great precision. Although the sword technique was incredibly powerful, it did not damage any of the buildings on the Fourth Peak.

The fifteen levels of the 'Green Jade Sky Reflection Sword Technique' were actually fifteen sword forms.

Cui Yayun continued to demonstrate up to the thirteenth form before stopping.

"The 'Green Jade Sky Reflection Sword Technique' has fifteen forms, and I have only mastered thirteen. Apart from the founding ancestor, no one has been able to master all of them for a long time. I hope this sword technique can be further developed in your hands."

Cui Yayun's frail figure stood under the night sky, the night wind rustling her black robe, giving her a somewhat desolate appearance.

"This Autumn Water Sword was what I used in my youth. I will now give it to you." Cui Yayun threw the long sword to Chu Jianqiu, who was momentarily stunned and hurriedly reached out to catch it. He was still immersed in the breathtaking sword technique.

"Alright, that's enough for today. You can go back and study it well. If you have any questions, you can seek guidance from your two senior sisters." Cui Yayun waved her hand and slowly walked back into the hall, her back turned to Chu Jianqiu.

Chu Jianqiu bowed and was about to leave when he suddenly saw Cui Yayun stagger and fall forward.

Chu Jianqiu was startled. Before he could even think, his body reacted, quickly rushing forward to catch the falling Cui Yayun.

Cui Yayun's eyes were tightly closed, and she had fainted, with blood slowly trickling from her mouth.

Chu Jianqiu felt Cui Yayun's pulse and was immediately alarmed. Although his medical skills were not profound, he had reached the level of a Second-Rank Physician and could diagnose her condition.

Cui Yayun's internal organs were severely damaged, and the poison she had been poisoned with was eroding her organs. Given the depth of her poisoning, without an antidote, her life was in grave danger, and it was not something that could be resolved by seclusion.

Chu Jianqiu looked at Cui Yayun in his arms, his heart struggling for a long time.

To be honest, before today, although Cui Yayun was nominally his master, he had little affection for her.

Cui Yayun had recruited him into the sect and then ignored him for a year. She had never paid attention to him, let alone taught him any martial arts. Naturally, he had not developed much fondness for her.

However, today, despite her severe injuries and poisoning, knowing she did not have much time left, she had forced herself to impart the peak's ultimate techniques to him, wanting to fulfill her duties as a master before she died.

Chu Jianqiu knew that if Cui Yayun had not forced herself to demonstrate the sword technique, with her cultivation, she could have lasted at least three more months.

But now, to impart the peak's ultimate techniques to him, she had aggravated her internal injuries, and her true qi could no longer suppress the poison's erosion.

Given her current condition, it would be difficult for her to last even half a month.

Chu Jianqiu hesitated for a moment, then sighed, looked around, and, seeing no one, circulated his true qi to force out a drop of his life essence blood, which he placed on Cui Yayun's forehead.

As the drop of life essence blood was slowly absorbed, Cui Yayun's internal essence qi was instantly stimulated, suppressing the rampant poison once again.

Chu Jianqiu endured the intense pain in his body and carried Cui Yayun into the hall.

The drop of life essence blood he had given could only stimulate Cui Yayun's own life potential and could not cure her of the poison.

Although the Chaos Supreme Bloodline was incredibly powerful, his current cultivation was too low to unleash its full strength. The Blood Fiend Azure Sky Poison was of a high grade and was not something his current bloodline could handle.

The drop of life essence blood could help Cui Yayun suppress the poison for three months, which was already an extraordinary feat. To completely cure her of such a powerful poison with just a drop of life essence blood, he would need to reach the Core Formation Realm and be able to unleash some of the power of the Chaos Supreme Bloodline.
