All-around protagonist mentor

After erasing the wisp of sentient beings' will within Yun Jianyue's soul, and after another round of laughter and commotion, Qingxuan finally finished everything completely. Qingxuan glanced at the night outside and realized it was getting late, so he rose, cupped his hands, and bid farewell to Jiang Shangqiu together with Tianyu Jun.

Jiang Shangqiu wanted to say something more, but in the end, she sighed and personally saw Qingxuan and Tianyu off with Aunt Rong and Aunt Bai. Yun Jianyue also skipped and hopped after them, waving and shouting as the two went downstairs, telling Qingxuan to come and play with her again next time.

Only after the two figures had completely disappeared from sight did Yun Jianyue hum a little tune and return to the house. Jiang Shangqiu whispered some instructions to Aunt Bai and Aunt Rong, and then followed them into the house. The two old women closed the door and stood guard at the entrance.

Yun Jianyue sat behind the table, popping small pastries into her mouth one by one, looking happy and relaxed. Jiang Shangqiu walked over and sat down next to Yun Jianyue, silently watching her.

Yun Jianyue felt uneasy under Jiang Shangqiu's gaze and said somewhat awkwardly, "What's wrong? Sister Qiu, I'm fine now, you don't need to worry anymore."

Jiang Shangqiu said calmly, "Yue'er, I know you're a bit impulsive, but you don't need to be so inconsiderate of the occasion. Why did you make things difficult for Young Master Qingxuan just now?"

Yun Jianyue stopped what she was doing, then shrugged indifferently and said nonchalantly, "I was just testing him. After all, he's the one you've chosen, Sister Qiu, so naturally I have to put him to the test."

Jiang Shangqiu's gaze deepened as he said, "But given your usual cleverness, if you truly wanted to consider Young Master Qingxuan's intentions, your methods wouldn't have been so direct. What's wrong with you today?"

Yun Jianyue fell silent, the smile on her face slowly fading as she chewed the pastry.

Jiang Shangqiu sighed deeply, reached out and hugged Yun Jianyue's shoulder, and said gently, "Yue'er, I know you've been blaming yourself for the Du family's affairs. For the past month, you've been forcing a smile, not wanting us to worry, but keeping things bottled up inside isn't a solution."

Upon hearing this, Yun Jianyue's shoulders trembled, her lips twitched violently, and her eyes began to redden.

Jiang Shangqiu hugged Yun Jianyue and said in a softer voice, "Cry, have a good cry, let out all the grievances and frustrations in your heart, and you'll feel better."

Wow~~~~~!

Upon hearing Jiang Shangqiu's words, Yun Jianyue could no longer contain her emotions. She buried her head in Jiang Shangqiu's shoulder, tears streaming down her face, and burst into tears, sobbing, "Sister Qiu, Yue'er is so useless, so utterly useless!"

"Back then, when my family was wiped out by that Holy Dynasty, I was of no use and could only flee in a sorry state. I was fortunate enough to be taken in by Uncle Du and enter a sect. I never imagined that just a few years later, Uncle Du's family would also be destroyed by that Holy Dynasty. This time, Yue'er still couldn't be of any use!"

"Yue'er hates it! She hates it so much! She hates that Holy Dynasty for being ruthless and heartless, and she hates herself even more for being so useless! She couldn't save her family, and she couldn't save Uncle Du! Before he died, Uncle Du entrusted his little sister Ling'er to Yue'er and risked his life to clear a path for us, but Yue'er couldn't even do that right and lost Ling'er!"

"Wow! Sister Qiu, do you think Yue'er is a useless piece of trash?! If Uncle Du knew this in the afterlife, how would Yue'er explain it?!"

Hearing Yun Jianyue's sorrowful cries, Jiang Shangqiu felt a pang of sadness, his eyes reddening slightly. He gently patted Yun Jianyue's back and softly comforted her, "Yue'er, none of this is your fault. The Holy Dynasty is powerful; even our Immortal Realm finds it difficult. Let alone you, anyone in that situation would have been powerless."

"You've only been in our Immortal Realm for a few years, yet you've already cultivated to this Manifestation Realm. You're already an extraordinary genius. Just focus on your cultivation. In a few more years, when you've mastered your skills and obtained the position of 'Female Specialist' in our Immortal Realm, you'll gain more attention and resources. Our Immortal Realm will naturally avenge you."

"Even if we can't destroy that Holy Dynasty, we'll force it to hand over the murderers who wiped out your entire family and the Du family, so you can deal with them as you see fit."

"But...but...Sister Ling'er..."

Jiang Shangqiu's words of comfort did have some effect; Yun Jianyue's crying subsided considerably. However, Yun Jianyue seemed to have thought of something again, and she started crying uncontrollably once more.

Jiang Shangqiu sighed helplessly and continued to comfort her, "Don't worry, Miss Ling'er is a lucky person, she will definitely be alright. I have already sent out all my manpower to search secretly throughout Yazhou."

Yun Jianyue cried out, "But...but, it's been...more than a month...and there's still no news of Ling'er..."

Jiang Shangqiu hurriedly said, "Isn't no news good news? It means that Miss Ling'er's fate is still uncertain, and she hasn't fallen into the hands of the Holy Dynasty and the Huangluo Sect. Yue'er, don't worry, trust your sister, she will definitely bring Miss Ling'er back."

"Is...is...is that so?"

Yun Jianyue finally calmed down, looking at Jiang Shangqiu with tears in her eyes, her gaze filled with hope and pleading.

Jiang Shangqiu nodded emphatically, revealing a confident smile: "When have I ever broken my promise?"

"Yes, Yue'er believes in Sister Qiu."

Yun Jianyue responded obediently and buried her head in Jiang Shangqiu's chest.

Jiang Shangqiu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, thinking to himself that he had finally managed to appease Yun Jianyue.

However, although Jiang Shangqiu said that, she was actually not sure herself.

After all, more than a month has passed, and no matter how things develop, the odds are against them.

Jiang Shangqiu had met Ling'er from the Du family before. Thinking of Ling'er's situation filled Jiang Shangqiu with sorrow, and he could only pray silently.

"oops!"

Suddenly, Jiang Shangqiu, who was deep in thought, exclaimed in surprise. Her pretty face turned red, and when she looked down, she saw Yun Jianyue looking at her with a grin.

At this moment, Yun Jianyue's hands were gripping Jiang Shangqiu's high, firm breasts, and she said with a look of admiration and intoxication, "Ah~~~, Sister Qiu is indeed very well-endowed~, even I can't help but pinch her. Even if that Qingzhuan was really after ulterior motives in getting close to Sister Qiu, Yue'er can understand it."

"You brat! You're asking for trouble!"

Jiang Shangqiu was filled with shame and anger, and immediately picked up the round fan on the table and struck Yun Jianyue. Yun Jianyue instantly stood up and jumped away, nimbly dodging the blow, then put her jade hand in front of her small nose and sniffed it, revealing a satisfied smile.

Jiang Shangqiu was so angry at the sight that she was speechless. She never expected that Yun Jianyue, who had just been crying her heart out, would start teasing her again in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Shangqiu was truly impressed by this incredibly eccentric personality; he had no choice but to admit defeat.

However, amidst his anger, Jiang Shangqiu inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

Yun Jianyue is better off like this than if she keeps her feelings hidden and suffers alone.

Yun Jianyue chuckled and said to Jiang Shangqiu, "Oh dear, now that I think about it, that Qingzhuan really had a sweet tongue and knew how to sweet-talk people. Sister Qiu, tell me honestly, weren't you even a little bit tempted?"

Jiang Shangqiu's face flushed even redder. She slammed her hand on the table, glaring at the table, and said, "How could your sister be swayed by a few sweet words like those naive young girls?"

Yun Jianyue looked incredulous: "Really?"

"Hmph!" Jiang Shangqiu snorted lightly, a hint of smugness in her voice. "Your sister here has been through the wringer in love, and I have my own way of judging people. Xuandi is indeed a person worth befriending. Do you think all my experience these past few years has been wasted? How could I be so shallow as to be easily swayed by a few sweet words!"

.......

"Oh, women, you just have to coax them. You have to say sweet things to them, praise them to death, and then they'll be overjoyed~~~~."

Even if she knows you're lying, she'll still be happy.

Inside the private room, Qingxuan was imparting her social skills to Tianyu Jun, whose face was full of thirst for knowledge. Tianyu Jun listened intently, nodding repeatedly.

Hearing Qingxuan say this, Tianyujun immediately asked curiously, "Brother Xuan, why do women like to hear others praise them?"

Qingxuan rolled her eyes: "Of course! Who doesn't like to hear others praise them? It's just that women are very emotional creatures, and they're more susceptible to this. Of course..."

Qingxuan sighed: "It can't be generalized. There are many calm and rational women out there. If you try to do that to them, they won't pay any attention to you, and it might even backfire."

"Furthermore, don't assume that women are all fools who get carried away when they're happy. In fact, most women are smarter than most men, and they are much more proper in their conduct and actions."

"Saying nice things to someone and making them happy only makes them happy, at most they'll give you a pleasant look. As for how they actually see you, that depends on your ability and charm. Don't think that just because you can say a few nice words you can do whatever you want; those kinds of people will only end up in a terrible situation."

Upon hearing this, Tianyu frowned and sighed, "Ah, it's impossible not to say nice things, but saying nice things doesn't always work either. Communicating with women is so difficult."

Qingxuan chuckled and said, "It's alright, you just lack experience right now. Once you've met more people, you'll naturally know how to deal with them. Understanding the ways of the world is true learning, and being adept at human relationships is true literature."

Tianyu Jun was taken aback again, then immediately took out a small notebook and a pen from his storage ring and quickly wrote down Qingxuan's words, nodding repeatedly: "That makes sense, that makes sense."

Qingxuan laughed smugly: "Xiaoyu, don't worry. Follow me, and I'll make sure you see the wonderful world, experience the joys of life, and learn what true romance is."

"However, now is not the time to talk about these things."

Qingxuan changed the subject, looked Tianyu Jun up and down, and nodded, saying, "After a month of relaxation and recuperation, your injuries have completely healed. Moreover, your inner knot has been untied. It's time to teach you something real."

Upon hearing that Qingxuan was going to teach him his skills, Tianyu Jun was extremely excited. He immediately stood up, bowed to Qingxuan, and said with great anticipation, "Please enlighten me, Brother Xuan."

Qingxuan smiled mysteriously, then with a "whoosh," pulled a book with yellowed pages from her sleeve and slammed it onto the table.

Tianyu-jun immediately picked up the book as if he had found a treasure, and upon seeing the large characters on the cover, he couldn't help but read aloud: "Three Hundred Tang and Song Poems?"

Then, looking down again, he read, "Printed and published by the People's Education Press?"

Tianyu continued reading, only to find it filled with symbols he couldn't understand. Confused, he looked at Qingxuan blankly and asked, "Brother Xuan, what kind of technique is this? And which sect is this People's Education Press? I've never heard of it."

"Well......"

Qingxuan sat down in the chair with an embarrassed look on her face, and then quickly coughed twice: "Ah, that's not a cultivation technique, it's just a bonus, something I gave you to improve your cultural level. This is the real cultivation technique."

As she spoke, Qingxuan quickly took out a jade slip from her sleeve and tossed it to Tianyu Jun.

"oh......"

Tianyu Jun tucked the book "Three Hundred Tang and Song Poems" into his robes, took the jade slip with both hands, and channeled his divine sense into it. Immediately, five large characters radiating dazzling light appeared in Tianyu Jun's mind:

"The Way of All Heavens is Mine!"

Tianyu Jun suddenly felt that the name was extremely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember where.

"This...this name of the technique...why does it sound so familiar?"

After hesitating for a long time, Tianyu Jun couldn't help but ask Qingxuan.

Qing Xuan readily admitted, "That's right, this cultivation method is one that I modified based on the 'Path of All Beings' by the Holy Emperor of All Beings."

"What?"

Tianyu Jun was so shocked that he stood up, his hands trembling so much that he almost dropped the jade slip.

The title "Holy Emperor of All Beings" and "Path of All Beings in the Heavens" are titles that Tianyu Jun is quite clear about what they mean.

After a long moment of excitement, Tianyu Jun finally calmed his surging emotions and asked in utter astonishment, "Xuan-ge'er, how did you get your hands on this cultivation technique? What did you modify?"

Qingxuan grinned and said, "That's a long story, and it's not the right time to talk about it now. Let's talk about it another day. As for the modifications I made, I simply removed some of the hidden tricks that the Holy Emperor of All Beings planted in this technique, and improved some imperfections."

"My current cultivation technique, 'The Path of All Heavens and Oneself,' is a much higher level than 'The Path of All Beings in the Heavens'! It's miles ahead of it!"

"Wow, that's amazing!?"

Tianyu Jun was shocked and speechless, his mind churning. However, he was not worried at all that Qingxuan would trick him. He then immersed his divine sense in the jade slip and began to read the contents below.

The first few lines of text that Tianyu Jun saw at the beginning:

"Among all the heavens and myriad realms, I alone am supreme."

"The words spoken command the submission of all beings."

"As far as the eye can see, that is my territory."

"Wherever one goes, one becomes emperor."

"My heart is the only one, and the Great Way cannot be reversed."

"Hiss~~~"

Upon reading these lines, Tianyu Jun gasped and exclaimed, "How domineering! It could even be described as utterly rebellious, actually intending to trample the very Dao underfoot!"

Qingxuan said smugly, "That's right, it has to be this domineering, otherwise how can it suppress all the heavens and myriad realms? And this Great Dao is not just a simple Heavenly Dao, but the true 'Dao' that transcends all the heavens and myriad realms! First there was the Great Dao, and then countless Heavenly Daos were derived from it."

"Your Wujiangdao cultivation method also follows a domineering path. This cultivation method is an improvement I made by combining Wujiangdao's cultivation method. There will be no conflict when you practice it. Your previous twenty years of cultivation are the foundation for practicing this cultivation method."

"How could this be!"

Upon hearing this, Tianyu-jun was both surprised and delighted, his heart leaping with joy.

Cultivation techniques cannot be practiced haphazardly, just as medicine cannot be taken indiscriminately. A cultivator must master one technique to perfection, reaching a state of consummate skill. Only after complete mastery can one learn other techniques. Otherwise, it is very likely to cause clashes between techniques, resulting in chaotic internal energy, which could lead to the complete loss of cultivation or even death.

Moreover, even if you master a technique, if it conflicts with other techniques you want to practice, you still can't practice it. If you really want to practice it, you can only abandon the technique and start over.

However, there are always exceptions. Some cultivation techniques are like a panacea, compatible with all other techniques and even practiced together. But such techniques are extremely rare and hard to find, practically priceless treasures. Even super powers like the Void Realm and the Great Sage Dynasty, upon obtaining such techniques, would treat them as their most prized possessions.

Now that Tianyu Jun has obtained such a high-level cultivation technique, how could he not be overjoyed? This saves him countless hours and effort, and his future cultivation path is limitless.

"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Xuan."

Tianyu Jun once again cupped his hands in sincere thanks, bowing deeply to the very end.

Qingxuan laughed heartily, reached out and helped Tianyu Jun up, saying, "It's nothing, don't be polite. Follow me, and you'll have plenty of opportunities like this in the future."

Tianyu was moved once again, tears glistening in his eyes, his heart filled with emotion, unable to express it in words.

"Oh, right." Qingxuan seemed to remember something and said, "I left a divine thought in that jade slip, containing some of my past experiences. Take a good look and see what the true 'Myriad Realms' really are!"

"Remember, one's vision and knowledge determine one's character and mindset. Always be humble and modest, and never be arrogant."

"Yes! I will follow Xuan-ge'er's teachings."

Tianyu Jun respectfully responded, and his divine sense entered the jade slip, quickly finding and contacting Qingxuan's wisp of divine sense.

In an instant, a massive amount of information flooded into Tianyu Jun's mind, and countless illusions appeared one after another, a hundred times more vast than the scene Yun Jianyue had seen when Qingxuan treated her soul.

Tianyu Jun's face immediately showed shock, his eyes were empty, his hands and feet trembled slightly, and his mind was completely immersed in this unprecedented experience.

"Phew~~~!"

It took Tianyu Jun a full two cups of tea's time to come to his senses and let out a long breath. Although Tianyu Jun tried his best to restrain himself, his body still trembled uncontrollably.

"I never imagined the world was so vast! I used to think the Five Realms were already incredibly expansive, and the Great Thousand Realms were the center of all realms. Now it seems I was just a frog in a well—how laughable! How laughable!"

Tianyu Jun sighed repeatedly. Recalling the truly powerful figures he had seen traversing the heavens in Qingxuan's experience, and then looking at the powerful figures in his own world, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"After seeing the outside world, and then thinking about those powerful seniors I used to admire, who actually dared to call themselves Saint Dao Venerables, my feelings are really... sigh."

Qingxuan patted Tianyu Jun on the shoulder, encouraging him, "Don't be discouraged. Although those powerful figures are currently out of your reach, you may very well be able to rival them in the future. Besides, those powerful figures also started from humble beginnings, cultivating from ordinary people just like you, and many of them were even less talented than you. Since they could achieve such success, why can't you?"

"Xuan-ge'er is absolutely right!"

Upon hearing this, Tianyu Jun's eyes lit up, and he became excited and ambitious, filled with fearless pride, radiating a dazzling aura.

Previously, Tianyu Jun was torn between his romantic entanglement with Qin Daoxin, despaired by Xiao Linyuan's talent and power, and resentful of the injustice and cruelty of the Heavenly Dao. But now, these things are no longer worth mentioning in Tianyu Jun's heart.

Qin Daoxin? She's just a woman. If she wants to pursue true love, then let her go.

Xiao Linyuan? Compared to those truly powerful individuals, he's just so-so. Although he's quite capable, he's still far from it. The gap between him and those powerful individuals isn't much better.

The Heavenly Dao? As a cultivator seeking the Great Dao, why would I care about such a thing? Let it choose whoever it wants to favor; I don't care!

As his thoughts raced, Tianyu Jun's aura also shifted, and he actually exuded a sense of dominance over all the heavens, as if he were the only one worthy of the title.

Seeing this, Qingxuan nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, Xiaoyu, you do have talent in this area. However, your mind is not yet settled, so don't practice this technique today. Wait until your mind is completely calm tomorrow before you start practicing."

"yes!"

Tianyu-jun immediately responded, and the aura he exuded changed abruptly, returning to his usual gentle and natural demeanor.

"Oh, right."

As if he had thought of something, Tianyu Jun quickly said to Qingxuan, "Brother Xuan, there is something else that I am very concerned about. After thinking about it carefully, I still want to ask you."

Qingxuan smiled and said, "What is it? Feel free to ask."

With eyes full of anticipation, Tianyu asked sincerely, "Brother Xuan, what exactly is this People's Education Press?"
