Six Realms Immortal Emperor

Chapter 16 Exposing His True Colors

That night, after everyone had eaten dinner and started to rest, Xu Jingtian went to release the horses, leading them to a grove of trees several miles away.

"Let's do it here!"

The soil here is fertile and the grass is lush, containing some of the horses' favorite types of grass, making it easy for them to eat their fill. Crucially, this place is relatively secluded, so no one will see him practicing martial arts.

Finding an open space, Xu Jingtian began practicing the martial arts techniques from the Misty Wave Illusionary Shadow Movement Technique. First, he used the move "Moon Shifts Flower Shadow," in which Xu Jingtian's figure flashed left and right several times, making it impossible to tell where he was going to attack. Then, with the move "Jade Maiden Shuttle," he was already more than ten feet away. His figure moved as fast as the wind and as swift as lightning.

Then, using the move "Gentle Breeze and Falling Leaves," Xu Jingtian gracefully fell from a branch several meters high without raising a speck of dust. Next, he used "Azure Dragon Emerging from Water," striking a thick tree with a backhand punch. With a muffled thud, the branches shook, and countless leaves scattered down…

These moves were all familiar to Xu Jingtian. His fists were domineering and powerful, his footwork was like a tiger with wings, and combined with the Misty Wave Illusionary Movement Technique, his skill was extremely high. It was estimated that even if Dongfang Sile and Dongfang Sixing joined forces, they might not be his match.

This was also because after Xu Jingtian took two Vajra Pills, his entire body had been tempered, and his physique had become extremely strong. In addition, he was quick-witted and had sharp reflexes, so he made rapid progress in learning martial arts.

Throughout the journey, Xu Jingtian practiced every day, and his martial arts were showing signs of breaking through to the fourth level. Aside from a lack of combat experience, his martial arts were on par with the family head, Dongfang Shanzhan!

Xu Jingtian was incredibly excited. He firmly believed that as long as he persevered, he would definitely achieve something! At that time, he would break through the fifth and sixth levels one after another, and the highest level of physical body cultivation—the seventh level—would not be so far away.

With this in mind, Xu Jingtian practiced with even more vigor!

"A celestial maiden scatters flowers!"

"A sage points the way!"

"The wind sweeps away the remaining clouds!"

When he was practicing with great enjoyment, Xu Jingtian couldn't help but shout out.

He swung his arms back and forth, his legs kicking and leaping, and somehow, without any wind, his clothes rustled loudly. A moment later, scattered branches and fallen leaves on the ground also flew up, swirling into a ball. As he danced to the end, even small bits of dirt and pebbles were scraped up and sent flying into the air!

Xu Jingtian's strength is increasing day by day!

"Hey!"

As Xu Jingtian rapidly rotated his body, he let out a fierce shout, and within a radius of several feet around him, all movable objects were carried into the air by the force of his rotation, hovering rapidly above his head.

"Go!" Xu Jingtian roared, unleashing his full power.

Crackling and popping!

Flying stones struck the trees with a series of loud thuds. The thick trunks were covered with countless tiny pits, some of the stones even embedded deep within them!

Clatter, clatter! Another sound.

It turned out to be some hard bark that had fallen from the tree.

clap clap!

Two more crisp sounds followed.

Xu Jingtian turned his head in astonishment, only to find applause this time!

"Not bad, not bad, you've been practicing for a long time, haven't you?"

Wearing a pink dress, Dongfang Siyu appeared silently behind him without him even noticing.

"Young Miss!" Xu Jingtian exclaimed in surprise, unsure how to explain. Fortunately, he hadn't practiced any Eastern martial arts, otherwise he would have been unable to defend himself.

Dongfang Siyu reached out to stop him: "You don't need to explain anything. Everyone has secrets that others don't know, and that's not surprising. Moreover, the higher one's cultivation level, the more secrets one will have. You'll understand this once you enter the Brahma Sect."

Xu Jingtian was surprised that Dongfang Siyu not only did not expose him, but also tried her best not to embarrass him. Her wisdom and intelligence were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss!" Xu Jingtian said, then lowered his arms and head, and remained silent.

"It's just the two of us here, so don't be shy," Dongfang Siyu chuckled softly. "I didn't expect you to be as competitive as ever!"

Since they left the manor, aside from giving him his usual tasks, he hadn't spoken to Dongfang Siyu alone. The fact that she brought up their childhood meant she still remembered him somewhat.

"Please excuse my amateurish display of skill, Miss. I'm afraid it might have upset you," Xu Jingtian replied awkwardly.

"Really? The Illusory Wave Movement Technique, the basic movement technique of the Brahma Sect, you've actually made some progress." Dongfang Siyu's tone turned calm, without any emotional fluctuation, and it was impossible to know what she was thinking.

This Illusory Wave Movement Technique is the basic movement technique of the Brahma Sect. Xu Jingtian forgot this point. How can this be explained? Based on this, someone as intelligent as Dongfang Siyu would not have difficulty guessing this.

How can he clearly sever ties with the man in gray?

"Young Miss, I found this booklet by chance in the mountains and practiced according to the diagrams and annotations in it. I didn't know it was the basic movement technique of the Brahma Sect. I don't know if I practiced it correctly, so please don't laugh at me!" In his haste, Xu Jingtian could only make up a few words. However, even he himself wouldn't believe such a lame excuse, so would Dongfang Siyu believe it?

"Pfft!" Dongfang Siyu couldn't help but laugh again, revealing her girlish nature. She pointed at him and scolded with a laugh, "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. When will you stop making up such lame lies?"

"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth." That was something Dongfang Siyu often said to him when he was a child, and it still sounds so endearing now.

Xu Jingtian was speechless, and sighed inwardly, "Do you still remember how good I was to you back then?"

Dongfang Siyu finally stopped laughing, her expression returning to normal. She said quietly, "That's good. My bullying older brother is no match for you anymore."

She was bullied by Dongfang Sifeng a lot when she was a child, and Xu Jingtian helped her. Although she disliked Dongfang Sifeng's character, they were still blood relatives.

"I'm sorry about what happened to your older brother!" Xu Jingtian said.

If it weren't for Xu Jingtian, it would have been Dongfang Sifeng who came to the Brahma Sect. He was the true disciple of the East, and also her brother. Xu Jingtian not only stole his limelight, but also his opportunity.

"Hmph! It's a good thing he can't come! To enter a cultivation sect, one must first have a firm will and endure all kinds of hardships in order to achieve something!" Dongfang Siyu recalled the events of that night with disgust on her face.

Dongfang Sifeng begged her relentlessly to exchange for the pills, then complained about the pain and discomfort he experienced after taking them—a typical example of someone who's lazy and gluttonous. If someone like that were in the Brahma Sect, he'd be doomed sooner or later!

Seeing her expression turn cold, Xu Jingtian's mind raced, and he quickly said, "Miss is right, I will definitely remember it. Master is right, I will not forget that I am a member of the Dongfang family, I will obey Miss's orders in everything, cultivate diligently, and bring honor to our Dongfang family."

Dongfang Sifeng has been used to enjoying life since he was a child, and he always acts like a young master wherever he goes. No wonder Dongfang Siyu doesn't have a good impression of his older brother.

However, Xu Jingtian understood that Dongfang Sifeng only represented himself and not the entire Dongfang family. He knew that if he brought up the entire Dongfang family at this time and did not forget to praise the Dongfang family, Dongfang Siyu would still understand the importance of family ties.

As expected, Dongfang Siyu's tone softened after hearing Xu Jingtian's words: "Yes, once you arrive at the Brahma Sect, as long as you do as I say, diligently cultivate within the sect, and seek guidance from disciples with high cultivation levels, you will definitely succeed. If you encounter any bottlenecks in your cultivation or run into any trouble, you can come to me."

"Yes, Miss!" Xu Jingtian nodded and said.

In fact, even without Dongfang Siyu's reminder, Xu Jingtian would have done the same thing after arriving at the Immortal Sect for the sake of his plan.

"You didn't use the 'Wind Sweep Clouds' technique correctly, and you didn't use the 'Immortal's Guidance' technique with the right amount of force..." Dongfang Siyu said, personally demonstrating the Misty Wave Illusionary Movement Technique.

"Really? Please give me your guidance, Miss!" Xu Jingtian hurriedly said modestly. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Siyu not only didn't inquire about the origin of these moves, but also began to guide him in his cultivation.

Next, Dongfang Siyu pointed out the areas where Xu Jingtian's practice was inadequate and guided him on how to practice.

Xu Jingtian then had a great realization, gaining a more thorough understanding and mastery of those moves, and applying them with greater skill. It seemed that Dongfang Siyu's cultivation was a level higher than that of the gray-robed man; no wonder he fled in panic upon seeing her!

"Alright, that's about enough practice for today. These techniques can't be mastered overnight. The ultimate goal is to use them flexibly in combat. With your current fourth level of physical cultivation, that's pretty much your limit. Further training won't bring much improvement. After joining the sect, you need to intensify your internal energy training and master the cultivation methods so that your physical body and cultivation can complement each other and steadily improve." Dongfang Siyu saw that he had practiced enough and pointed out his biggest limitation.

"Yes, Miss is right, I understand completely," Xu Jingtian nodded. When he first practiced the Illusionary Wave Movement Technique, he felt his skill improving rapidly, but since he became proficient, he felt the improvement was getting slower and slower.

"Let's go back, don't keep them waiting!"

Dongfang Siyu called out to him, and before he could even touch the ground with his toes, he floated down several feet away.

Xu Jingtian hurriedly mounted his horse and gave chase.
