My whole family are full of geniuses, I really don't want to be a succubus!

Su Yi, who had just arrived at the riverbank, released Yin Chaoge's hand and looked at the still relatively turbulent river in front of her.

As the sun sets, the river is bathed in a golden hue, shimmering like scattered gold.

"I won the outer sect competition by a landslide!" Su Yi said earnestly to Yin Chaoge, looking at the river.

Yin Chaoge understood, of course, that even though the methods were shameful, Su Yi had indeed won.

"We are naturally grateful to our senior brother for upholding our Daoist beliefs!" Yin Chaoge said, recalling Su Yi's composure when facing their questioning.

Su Yi shook her head and said, "My victory over Wan Quan wasn't solely because of you, but also for Wan Quan's sake!"

Yin Chaoge was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Su Yi meant.

They even poisoned him to win, almost causing Gu Wanquan to soil his pants during the fight.

Now Su Yi is actually saying it's for Gu Wanquan's own good. Isn't that a bit far-fetched?

Seeing Yin Chaoge's doubtful gaze, Su Yi sighed softly and said, "Wan Quan's talent is superior to ours, that's beyond doubt, but even with the best talent, the gap shouldn't be this large. Haven't you ever had any doubts?"

Yin Chaoge was stunned after hearing this. He had always thought that the reason why Gu Wanquan was so much stronger than them was because of Gu Wanquan's amazing talent.

But after hearing what Su Yi said today, could there be another hidden story?

Su Yi continued, "Wan Quan didn't ask me to keep it a secret, and now that I've obtained the complete Sword Immortal inheritance, I can speak of it. Wan Quan had already obtained a portion of the Sword Immortal's inheritance from the very beginning of the construction!"

These words struck Yin Chaoge like a thunderclap!

If that's the case, then that's correct!

This also explains why Gu Wanquan is so strong, so irrationally strong!

It turns out that it wasn't that Gu Wanquan's talent was terrifyingly high, but rather that he had already surpassed everyone from the very beginning of his cultivation!

Realizing that it wasn't a matter of talent, Yin Chaoge's fighting spirit instantly soared!

It turns out it wasn't my fault, but rather that the other person had received an incredible opportunity from the very beginning!

But even if I knew, what good would it do?

That's the legacy of a sword immortal! How could I possibly catch up?

Yin Chaoge slumped his head listlessly; the immortal stories circulating in those folk tales had long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

  

Immortals possess unfathomable abilities, far beyond the capabilities of mortals as insignificant as ants!

Since Gu Wanquan inherited the entire sword immortal's legacy, wasn't he already destined to become an immortal from the very beginning?

Even knowing the vast difference between himself and Gu Wanquan.

But the gap hasn't narrowed; in fact, it seems to be widening.

The difference between humans and immortals!

What's the difference between this and the difference between heaven and earth?

Just as Yin Chaoge was feeling disheartened, a cheerful and disgruntled voice rang in her ears: "Hey, what's with that expression?"

Yin Chaoge raised her eyes, and a pair of peach blossom eyes, tinged with the golden hues of the sunset, were looking at her.

Su Yi looked at Yin Chaoge with dissatisfaction. "He's not even the future Demon Lord yet, is his mental fortitude that bad?"

I keep putting pressure on myself, and I'm starting to feel mentally drained.

Yin Chaoge's lips moved, and as if resigned, she said, "Senior brother, I understand what you mean. I will no longer think about chasing after Senior Brother Gu!"

"???"

"Idiot! What nonsense are you spouting!" Su Yi, enraged, drew her sword and slammed the scabbard down on Yin Chaoge's head.

Yin Chaoge, wincing in pain, clutched her head and looked at Su Yi in confusion. Wasn't Su Yi just trying to persuade her to give up chasing Gu Wanquan?

"The reason I fought so hard to defeat Wan Quan in the outer sect competition was twofold: firstly, to show you that Wan Quan is not invincible; and secondly, to prove to Wan Quan that I didn't defeat him, but that sword immortal!"

Su Yi said with a hint of exasperation, "Since Wan Quan is confident in surpassing the Sword Immortal and forging his own path in the sword, don't you have the confidence to surpass someone like Wan Quan?"

The moment the words were spoken, Yin Chaoge stood there dumbfounded.

He stared at Su Yi in disbelief, never expecting that Su Yi could think so far ahead!

And Su Yi, who thought so far ahead, did indeed achieve it. Otherwise, given Gu Wanquan's personality, he would never have so readily called Su Yi his senior brother.

Yin Chaoge's lips trembled as she spoke in despair, "But I... but I have nothing..."

Yin Chaoge didn't continue, but Su Yi knew that he wanted to say that Yin Chaoge had no direction and no strength to catch up with Gu Wanquan.

Her peach blossom eyes curved slightly, and she placed a hand on Yin Chaoge's shoulder: "Want to trust me this once?"

Yin Chaoge's pupils dilated as she stared at Su Yi for a long time before finally asking in silence, "Why? Why have you helped me time and time again?"

Su Yi, armed with her most proficient rhetoric, launched into a direct attack: "Uh, just think of it as me not wanting to see a proud eaglet slowly turn into a defeated hen!"

Yin Chaoge raised her head and met Su Yi's sincere eyes. At that moment, Yin Chaoge felt that the light in those eyes was more magnificent than the sunset on the river.

"Chaoge, you won't let me down, will you?" Su Yi patted Yin Chaoge on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

Having bottled up his frustration for so many days, Yin Chaoge suddenly knelt down before Su Yi, clutching the soil in his hands, bowing his head deeply, and crying out to Su Yi, "Please teach me, Senior Brother!"

"Get up first, I haven't taught you yet, and I don't know if it's suitable for you!" Su Yi quickly helped Yin Chaoge up and said.

Secretly, I was overjoyed. The future Demon Lord is going to kowtow to me!

If you ask Su Yi if she has any way to teach Yin Chaoge, Su Yi can only say that she knows nothing about the way of the sword.

He may not understand the way of the sword, but he does understand the future Demon Lord Yin Chaoge!

Yin Chaoge, who had mastered the Heavenly Demon Technique, still relied on a set of sword techniques he had created himself.

This sword technique is hailed as the sword technique closest to that of an immortal, and it is also the sword technique that Yin Chaoge created that best suits him!

"Eight Directions and Ten Desolations, Heaven-Slaying Stars, Crossing the Netherworld!"

Just from this awful name, you can tell that Yin Chaoge is a cold-on-the-outside-but-fickle-on-the-inside Jiahao.

What kind of non-mainstream name is this?

The moment this name was mentioned, all the players of "Immortal Path" launched a full-on attack on the Demon Lord's aesthetic sense.

Although the name is both common and Jiahao, the concept is really strong!

Each strike builds up power, making each blow stronger than the last.

A thousand powerful strikes can slay immortals; ten thousand powerful strikes can cleave heaven and earth!

That's terrifying!

What's even more terrifying is that this sword technique was something Yin Chaoge figured out on his own after the Luoxia Immortal Sect was wiped out by Gu Wanquan and he was framed and forced to flee!

Being able to comprehend a sword technique comparable to the "Nine Styles of the Sword Immortal" shows that Yin Chaoge's talent is in no way inferior to Gu Wanquan's!

Knowing the principle, Su Yi confidently began to instruct Yin Chaoge.

"You are skilled in swordsmanship, so I can't teach you, but I have an idea you can listen to!" Su Yi said earnestly to Yin Chaoge.

Su Yi stammered as she spoke:

"I call it the Eight Directions and Ten Desolations... uh... the Heaven-Cutting Star-Falling Netherworld-Crossing Slash!"
