Chapter 241

She asked with curiosity:

"Is this the martial Dao created by the Emperor after he began cultivating immortality?"

Watching Beidou's eager expression, Uncle Tian understood her thoughts and smiled.

"How about it, Beidou? Do you want to try?"

"If I can, that would be for the best."

As she spoke, Beidou stood up, took off her cloak, and loosened her wrists.

Seeing Beidou's swift and decisive manner, Uncle Tian chuckled and waved his hand gently.

"Fang Yue, you go."

"Yes!"

A young Millelith soldier leaped up and landed lightly in the open space.

This move made Beidou's eyes light up; regardless of his combat strength, this agility alone was already no weaker than many Vision holders.

"Fang Yue is one of the thousand elites stationed at Jueyun Karst, and his strength has long since broken through to the Xiantian realm."

"Beidou, be careful, don't let yourself suffer a loss."

Beidou looked back at Kaiyang with a smirk.

"I'm not that weak, am I?"

Kaiyang shrugged and said nothing more.

Beidou walked forward slowly, sizing up the determined-looking Millelith soldier, and nodded slightly.

"Not bad. What weapon do you use?"

"Captain Beidou, Fang Yue's fists are the strongest weapons!"

"Good!"

Beidou praised him and tossed her greatsword to Kaedehara Kazuha.

"I won't bully you; I won't use elemental energy or a weapon."

"Many thanks, Captain Beidou."

Fang Yue did not feel that Beidou was looking down on him.

Beidou's strength was among the very best in all of Liyue.

Back in the day, she had been able to cleave Haishan in two with a single blade without a Vision.

He was just a Millelith soldier who had only recently begun cultivating and had luckily broken through to the Xiantian realm.

He really couldn't compare to Beidou.

Immediately, Fang Yue focused entirely on Beidou, mobilized his internal energy, and covered his body in a layer of white light barrier.

"A magical power... it seems to flow from within the body, not elemental energy."

Miko examined Fang Yue with great interest.

This power was somewhat fragile to her, but for an ordinary person who had only just begun cultivating,

it was already quite remarkable.

"Interesting..."

Beidou smiled and became a bit more serious.

To her, a Vision was just a simple tool; even without one, she was a powerhouse who had transcended the peak of humanity.

Although Fang Yue was strong, in her eyes, he was just someone worth observing.

Fang Yue did not give Beidou the chance to strike first; he pounced toward her like a tiger or leopard, his fists raining down upon her like raindrops.

Fierce Qi condensed into fist shadows, covering every inch of Beidou's surroundings.

"Impressive!"

Beidou exclaimed, yet she easily neutralized every one of Fang Yue's attacks.

For a moment, Fang Yue found it difficult to advance, and the pride he felt from breaking through to the Xiantian realm was crushed by Beidou.

She wasn't even using a Vision, yet she handled him so simply and effortlessly.

Beidou was truly worthy of being one of Liyue's foundational human combatants.

Knowing he was no match for Beidou, Fang Yue simply took a deep breath and leaped high into the air.

"Five Tigers Severing Souls!"

Fang Yue shouted, his internal energy surging out instantly and transforming into five giant white tigers that pressed down toward Beidou.

"Good!"

Beidou was delighted to find such a worthy opponent; she retracted her fist to gather momentum and then struck out with great force.

With pure physical strength, her punch created a sonic boom, and the fierce tigers formed by Fang Yue's internal energy were instantly shattered.

The fist wind brushed past Fang Yue's temple and blew toward the sky; for a moment, the plants on the Jade Chamber rustled loudly.

Fang Yue landed on the ground, looked at Beidou who hadn't even moved a step, smiled bitterly in his heart, and cupped his hands.

"Many thanks to Captain Beidou for showing mercy; Fang Yue has learned much."

Beidou walked toward Fang Yue with satisfaction and patted his shoulder.

"Your martial Dao technique is not bad. If you cultivate for a while longer, you might truly be stronger than many top-tier Vision holders."

"But your combat experience is insufficient. Although that power is very strong, you only vent it all at once without utilizing it properly."

"Externalized power is indeed imposing, but for now, your power isn't very strong yet; it is best to keep it within your body for attacks."

"Cultivate well; you have a bright future."

Hearing this, Fang Yue nodded excitedly.

"Many thanks for your guidance, Captain Beidou!"

Beidou smiled, said nothing more, and returned to her seat.

Uncle Tian said with some emotion:

"As expected of Beidou; even without a Vision, she is stronger than the martial Dao powerhouses we carefully cultivated."

"Your talent for cultivating immortality must be quite high; who knows, you might even have some special constitution."

Beidou raised an eyebrow and asked curiously:

"What is a special constitution?"

"That, well, it's a long story."

Uncle Tian smiled and added:

"Since there is still time, if you aren't in a hurry, we can tell you the details of cultivating immortality so you can prepare in advance."

Beidou nodded and looked at Uncle Tian with a serious expression.

She had just returned to Liyue, so naturally, she had nothing to do.

Even if she did...

it wouldn't compare to cultivating immortality.

While Liyue Harbor was in a state of turmoil and countless talented individuals were gathering,

the situation at the Shushan Heart-Questioning Array was gradually becoming clear.

The first person to be sent out by the Heart-Questioning Array also appeared.

145. The Resilient Jean, Seven Layers of Heart-Questioning into Shushan

"Barbara, having passed three layers of the Heart-Questioning Array, is now an inner sect disciple."

Following a calm announcement, Barbara, still immersed in the confusion of the three layers of heart-questioning, was pushed out by a gentle force.

She drifted down and landed beside Lisa.

"Barbara, how do you feel?"

Lisa asked with concern.

Barbara was silent for a moment, but when she raised her head to look at Lisa, her gaze held a bit more determination than the usual timidity.

"I'm fine, Sister Lisa. It's just that I barely passed the third layer; I truly apologize for failing to meet the expectations of you and my sister."

"After I join Shushan, I will cultivate well, and next time I come, I will never stop at the third layer!"

Lisa was stunned, looking at Barbara with some surprise.

In the past, Barbara would never have been able to say such determined words.

And besides...
