Sect Leader! Please strengthen our Dao Sect!

Immortal Emperor Fist?!

You dare to shout that out loud? Even your teacher wouldn't dare to listen!

"Master! Master, I've succeeded!"

Tang Yan was extremely excited, his spiritual energy surged throughout his body, and his aura was released unrestrainedly without any restraint.

"well……"

Shen Shanshui sighed, beckoned Tang Yan over, and patted him on the shoulder earnestly, saying:

"If you ever venture outside of Jiangnan Prefecture in the future, never say you are my disciple!"

"what?"

Tang Yan hadn't yet realized that his master was afraid that his talent might accidentally surpass his in the future, making his master lose face.

"Master, your disciple need not be inferior to you, and your master need not be superior to you."

Seeing Tang Yan's sincere expression, Shen Shanshui had a feeling that the Heavenly Dao Sect would face the risk of destruction because of Tang Yan.

"Cough... You shouldn't use this fist technique lightly in the future."

You grasped the essence of the matter during your Qi Refining stage, yet you are still unaware of whether it will bring you fortune or misfortune.

"Today, your master will impart to you a supernatural power."

The "Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique" was a high-class divine ability specially customized by the system for Tang Yan, which Shen Shanshui had been keeping secret and had not passed on to him.

The fear is that Tang Yan's personality might lead him to prioritize cultivating supernatural powers over his own personal cultivation.

But seeing it today, I have no choice but to share it.

Otherwise, if Tang Yan were to face an enemy and immediately unleash a Celestial Emperor Fist, it would be a disgrace to the family.

"Remember, the first priority in cultivation is to improve one's cultivation level, not to pursue supernatural powers."

Supernatural powers are a means of self-preservation, and one must cultivate them. However, if facing an opponent far stronger than oneself, even the most powerful supernatural powers cannot bridge the gap in rank.

As Shen Shanshui spoke, he raised his hand and pointed, making a gesture as if drawing a sword at his waist.

The spiritual energy in the mountains suddenly gathered, and the invisible energy was so strong that Tang Yan could hardly open his eyes and couldn't help but hug his face with his arms.

If the Great Evolution Sword Technique is more about mystery and obscurity, capable of killing in an instant.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique is the complete opposite. It involves nurturing the sword and accumulating power, then unleashing a single strike, which is the pinnacle of power, carrying an unstoppable and fierce momentum!

This supernatural power is best used in conjunction with a magical artifact, a celestial sword, to reach its full potential. Shen Shanshui felt that if he truly mastered it, he might be able to split the heavens with a single sword strike!

"So strong!"

Tang Yan shielded his face with his arms, leaving only a small gap, but he was already extremely excited!

That's exactly the feeling he wanted!

"open!"

Shen Shanshui flicked his sword, sending it soaring into the sky! A fierce wind swept through the air, and invisible sword marks appeared on the surrounding ground!

The sword light shot into the sky, instantly slicing through the huge cloud drifting overhead, advancing relentlessly until it disappeared completely.

Tang Yan's eyes were filled with admiration for Shen Shanshui at this moment.

"Master, what is the name of this supernatural power?"

Shen Shanshui gazed at the neatly sliced ​​cloud in the sky, his thoughts still lingering.

This was the first time he had used this divine power, and in terms of power, it was much stronger than his Great Evolution Sword Technique.

Of course, the drawbacks are also obvious. In a battle, no one will be foolish enough to wait for you to build up your strength.

"Sword Drawing Technique..."

The words "slaying the heavens" were automatically omitted by Shen Shanshui.

"Sword Drawing Technique? How can such a mediocre name be worthy of such a powerful divine ability?"

Tang Yan seemed to be deep in thought, stroking his chin: "Master's One Sword Slashes the Heavens... Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique?"

"Yes! Let's call it Zhan Tian..."

Before Tang Yan could finish his excited words, he felt a sudden dizziness. When he regained his senses, he found himself embedded in the stone wall, his bones feeling like they were about to fall apart, and he was in so much pain that he grimaced.

However, Tang Yan was extremely happy afterwards, because a new cultivation technique for supernatural powers had appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

……

"This kid is hopeless."

Shen Shanshui somewhat regretted taking Tang Yan as his disciple.

I thought that the trials and tribulations of the past six months would have made Tang Yan more composed, but his true nature remained the same.

The old saying is true: it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.

Back at the mountaintop, Shen Shanshui was about to sit cross-legged and begin his cultivation.

This is the core of the Spirit Gathering Array, the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in Tianyi Mountain.

Recently, with too many miscellaneous matters, Shen Shanshui's own cultivation has also fallen behind.

But before he could even begin circulating his qi, an uninvited guest appeared.

Liu Ruyan, dressed in a black outfit and wearing a black gauze hat, was standing not far away.

Liu Ruyan rested one of her delicate hands on the long sword at her waist, exuding a heroic spirit. Even though she was wrapped up tightly, one could still sense that beneath the bamboo hat lay a beauty of unparalleled grace, making one want to peek into her splendor.

At this moment, her breathing was full and smooth, and she had seemingly recovered from all her injuries.

"If you wish to leave, please do so."

Shen Shanshui did not open his eyes, but spoke softly.

"You said I owe you a life, and I accept it."

Liu Ruyan involuntarily gripped the sword hilt, not because she wanted to fight, but because she didn't know how to face Shen Shanshui.

The two had previously fought to the death, but at the crucial moment, Shen Shanshui saved her again.

Although Shen Shanshui was unaware that the abnormality in Liu Ruyan's Dao Fruit nascent form was actually indirectly caused by him.

That day, because Shen Shanshui was following Tang Yan and was worried about Shen Lingxi's safety while he was away, he deliberately left several strands of interfering spiritual energy in her body.

Liu Ruyan discovered that the spiritual energy refined by Shen Shanshui actually helped her calm the restlessness of the nascent Dao Fruit, so she made some attempts, but ended up going too far.

However, if Shen Shanshui hadn't suddenly appeared, Liu Ruyan's best outcome would have been to be consumed by lust and die by self-immolation.

If she couldn't control her mind and was completely consumed by the desire for the nascent Dao Fruit... Liu Ruyan dared not think of such an ending. If it really came to that, she would rather die!

"Tell me, how am I supposed to repay this?"

"I didn't intend to save you. Since you have to pay the price, then pay with your life."

Shen Shanshui casually replied that he hadn't intended to save the other party; it was just a coincidence.

The two had little interaction, and Shen Shanshui didn't want to have any intimacy in the future. At the time, he only uttered that sentence casually because his Dao heart was fluctuating.

Liu Ruyan gripped the sword hilt tightly again, her expression hidden behind her black gauze hat.

Clang!

The longsword was drawn, and a flash of light appeared!

Buzzing!!

The sword's cry never ceased.

This is a magical sword, capable of cutting through iron like mud. The blade sliced ​​through the black cloth wrapped around Liu Ruyan's neck, revealing her fair skin.

Thin streaks of blood flowed down the sword's edge and dripped onto the ground.

This woman is a lunatic!

Shen Shanshui gripped Liu Ruyan's sword-wielding hand tightly. If he hadn't stopped her, Liu Ruyan would have slit her own throat.

"You...aren't you going to kill me?"

I owe no one anything.

Liu Ruyan's neck twitched slightly, as if she were swallowing saliva. Her words were choked at first, but then she immediately became firm again.

Who isn't afraid of death? Even those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage will shed tears of fear in the face of death.

Even though you're so scared, why are you still so decisive in swinging your sword?

Shen Shanshui was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is the cultivation world cruel or pure? And how can you encounter someone so honest?
