Chapter 116: Worthy of being my disciple Lu Xuan!

"Master, what should we do?"

Ji Fuyao tilted her delicate fair face, her eyes flowing as she looked at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan lay on the stone and said, "It's fine. Just treat this place as Xuan Qing Feng. Cultivate as you should."

Ji Fuyao let out an "oh".

She watched Lu Xuan lying relaxed on the stone, when suddenly a flash of lightning crossed her mind.

"Hum!"

Wait

Just now Master was giving her pointers again!

These past few days, by this long river, although she had been cultivating, because this place wasn't Xuan Qing Feng and the people around her weren't just Master alone, her state of mind could not settle.

If the heart is not calm, how can one cultivate?

Just now Master's meaning was simply to keep an ordinary heart.

As long as the heart is calm, anywhere is Xuan Qing Feng.

For example, the large stone beneath Master isn't it just the recliner on Xuan Qing Feng?

Upon thinking this.

Ji Fuyao's starry eyes glittered as she looked at Lu Xuan, and then she realized why Master had these past days lain motionless on the large stone.

Is this him pointing at her?

Ji Fuyao sighed slightly in her heart, "It seems Master also saw that my mind was unsettled, but I still haven't grasped Master's deep meaning."

Before, when getting along with Master on Xuan Qing Feng, I grew accustomed to its breeze, its mist, and every blade of grass and tree there.

On Xuan Qing Feng, Master placed no restrictions on her; she could do whatever she wished, in line with Master's said "natural way"!

This is also why, after leaving Xuan Qing Feng for a few days, she was somewhat unaccustomed, and moreover there were two Emperor Realm Old Ancestors present, the Sect Leader was present, so her state of mind could never be calm.

But now, she has understood.

The so-called natural way is to have an ordinary heart like Master.

Ji Fuyao lowered her delicate fair face, her eyes like a flowing galaxy, her flowing hair drifting down as she looked at Lu Xuan, she smiled charmingly, a faint fragrance drifted into Lu Xuan's nostrils, and Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

Ji Fuyao's lips parted slightly, her teeth moved slightly, and she said softly, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. I have understood."

Lu Xuan blinked in surprise.

Eh... what happened?

He didn't say anything at all; these past days he's just been lying here.

It's not hard to see that Fuyao started fantasizing again!

Not far away, the Sect Leader wore a bewildered, uncomprehending look as he gazed at Lu Xuan.

Wait

He really wanted to know what pointers Master had given.

At this moment.

Ji Fuyao sat cross-legged beside Lu Xuan, a scarlet robe fluttering down; she took out two hundred thousand supreme-grade spirit stones and placed them before her, began to circulate the Grand Dao Classic, and began to comprehend the natural way.

Soon, mysterious qi flowed through her body, brilliant spirit lines continually flickered; Ji Fuyao's inner self became clear, her slender hands continually transformed, and the aura of the Grand Dao Classic began to ebb and flow.

A gentle breeze blew, and the faint fragrance from Ji Fuyao entered Lu Xuan's nostrils, giving him a slight sway of heart and mind.

"Perfect. Worthy of being my disciple Lu Xuan."

A system voice sounded in his ear.

"Ding! Host's chief disciple Ji Fuyao is comprehending the Grand Dao Classic, beginning synchronization!"

The voice fell!

Strands of mysterious mystery flowed into Lu Xuan's mind, like a gentle breeze, like flowing water.

Lu Xuan felt a sense of ease.

The natural way was like a blanket, light as a cicada's wing, gently drifting onto his body.

At this moment, divine radiance surged over Ji Fuyao, her state of mind changed, and consequently came a deeper comprehension of the Grand Dao Classic.

In an instant, the breeze stirred, the hidden mysteries of heaven and earth in the secluded place were aroused, moving with Ji Fuyao's intent.

A spiritual wood materialized, some spirit birds chirped on the branches, emitting pleasant sounds; above the Void, wind and clouds surged, the clouds parted and the moon shone, the heavens were exceedingly clear, and everything looked very harmonious.

The Sect Leader stared dumbfounded.

You should know this secluded place hides great mysteries.

Now that Ji Fuyao has gained some insight into the Grand Dao Classic, she actually triggered the manifestation of anomalies in this secluded place—it's downright terrifying!

Soon

Old Ancestor Tianxing and Old Ancestor Cangxuan were also startled.

They turned their heads to look at Ji Fuyao, all somewhat shocked.

Old Ancestor Tianxing exclaimed in astonishment, "Fuyao actually had an epiphany here?"

Old Ancestor Cangxuan, seeing this, put away Old Ancestor Tianxing's fishing rod, saying, "Don't fish anymore."

Old Ancestor Tianxing's face twitched, "Not fishing anymore."

The two walked slowly toward Ji Fuyao.

At this moment, Ji Fuyao's inner world was undergoing an aberration; the Grand Dao Classic emitted the Great Dao's resonant sound, waves of mysterious power surged, continually striking her Dao foundation, the profound mechanisms, though formless, flowed continually through her meridians, cleansing her blood and bones, bombarding her inner stores.

In an instant, Ji Fuyao's three thousand strands of black hair floated up, each strand becoming incredibly crystalline and translucent; the natural way she had comprehended began to continually derive mystery.

Some turned into petals that drifted down above her head.

Some turned into butterflies that fluttered around her in a misty vapor.

Some turned into...

Waves of strange phenomena surrounded.

Seeing this scene, Cangxuan Elder Ancestor smiled with great satisfaction and said, "The Dao follows nature, secretly in harmony with heaven and earth; it seems Fuyao has taken another great step."

Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor stroked his beard, also showing a solemn expression, "Yes! One who cultivates the Spirit Fire Dao like Fuyao can perceive the 'Natural Dao,' which is no easy feat. After all, the Spirit Fire Dao burns heaven and boils the sea, focusing on attack and conquest!"

The sect leader nodded.

The next instant.

The three turned their gazes to Lu Xuan, who lay peacefully on the large rock.

The sect leader's face darkened, and he was about to wake Lu Xuan.

Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor gave a faint smile, "No need to bother with Lu Xuan. I now find this kid quite a remarkable person!"

"Remarkable person!"

The sect leader blinked slightly.

Lu Xuan lying so leisurely, yet receiving such approval before the two great elder ancestors… truly a unique treasure of the Grand Dao Sect!

I don't know when, but he seems to have grown accustomed to Lu Xuan being like this.

Thinking of this, the sect leader silently muttered to himself, "No. I still need to occasionally discipline Lu Xuan, otherwise this brat will keep getting more outrageous!"

Several hours later.

Ji Fuyao slowly opened her eyes, she restrained her aura, and curiously gazed at Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor and the three.

They were staring intently at the mysterious changes on her body.

Her snowy neck slightly tilted, she looked to the side—Master was… asleep!

Ji Fuyao gave a slight bow with clasped hands to Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor, "Thank you, Elder Ancestor and Sect Leader, for guarding the Dharma."

Cangxuan Elder Ancestor smiled and nodded, "Not a bad harvest! Wake Lu Xuan up."

Upon hearing that, Ji Fuyao lightly nodded, rose slowly, came to Lu Xuan's ear, and softly called, "Master, master…"

Lu Xuan opened his eyes, rubbed them, leisurely jumped down from the large stone, looked at Ji Fuyao, and said with a smile.

"Fuyao, you've gained quite a bit of insight this time."

Upon waking, his mind was filled with many insights from the Grand Dao Scripture.

Ji Fuyao's face flushed slightly, "Mm…"

Not far away, the sect leader gave a dry cough, "Cough… Fuyao, Lu Xuan, follow Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor over; prepare to receive the Imperial Dao Pattern Baptism!"

Lu Xuan curiously asked, "Elder Ancestor, you said I was a Ten Absolutes Waste Body; do I also need to undergo the Imperial Dao Pattern Baptism?"

Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor said, "Give it a try. Who knows, it might help."

Soon.

Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor led Lu Xuan and Ji Fuyao through the air, divine rainbows surging beneath their feet.

Behind them, Cangxuan Elder Ancestor and the sect leader also followed.

"Boom!"

"The void shattered!"

"Space twisted!"

Everyone directly crossed the void, arriving beneath a waterfall.

Lu Xuan lifted his head to watch the changes in this heaven and earth, feeling slightly surprised; above his head, the void's stars and moons flowed, shining brilliantly. Upon closer look, they were not the true sun, moon, and stars, but manifestations derived from the heavenly Dao's mysteries.

He couldn't help but sigh, it seems this hidden place holds infinite mysteries.

The Grand Dao Sect is certainly not as simple as it appears!

Don't think that because the sect leader is merely a Holy King, the Grand Dao Sect has fallen into decline!

The Grand Dao Sect is merely hiding its clumsiness!

At this moment, Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor pointed to the nearby waterfall and said with a smile, "Lu Xuan, this is where you and Fuyao will undergo the Imperial Dao Pattern Baptism. Are you ready?"

Lu Xuan and Ji Fuyao both turned their heads toward the waterfall.

This waterfall plunges tens of thousands of feet straight down, like a heavenly galaxy pouring down, scattering countless divine radiance; on the water surface beneath the fall, ripples spread, waves undisturbed, with brilliant dao patterns constantly rising and falling.

Lu Xuan thought to himself, this water is not water, this waterfall is not a waterfall, but a manifestation of a strand of the Grand Dao's mystery.

Ji Fuyao glanced at Lu Xuan, her starry eyes twinkling.

Lu Xuan gave a light smile, "Fuyao, how are you? I can start anytime."

Ji Fuyao nodded, "Elder Ancestor, I'm ready as well."

Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor chuckled, "Good. This Imperial Dao Pattern Baptism is actually simple; you just need to sit cross-legged beneath this waterfall, and I will use supreme secret arts to manifest, letting the Imperial Dao Pattern baptize you! The longer you endure, the greater the gain!"

Ji Fuyao said, "Alright, Elder Ancestor."

Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor flicked his sleeve, a gentle force lifted Ji Fuyao, the power of shifting stars and moving constellations surged, and in an instant she was seated cross-legged beneath the waterfall.

Next, Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor did the same; Lu Xuan hadn't even reacted before being thrown straight beneath the waterfall, landing with a thump on the water's surface.

"Smack!"

"Countless water droplets sprayed!"

Lu Xuan rubbed his buttocks and looked at Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor.

One must admit, Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor has an element of revenge in this!

Ji Fuyao pursed her lips and smiled; she is now only tens of thousands of feet away from Lu Xuan.

Her master is beside her, and her state of mind has become even more tranquil.

At this moment.

Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor swept his sleeve, his hand seal shifting, a terrifyingly supreme emperor-level pressure surged forth like mountains and seas overturning; brilliant Imperial Dao Patterns gathered and churned, like the vast ocean, continually condensing in the void.

The power of the Grand Dao Scripture continually unfolded, emitting resonant Dao chants, like a great bell echoing through the void.

Heavenly Travel Elder Ancestor slowly opened his mouth, "Dao!"

A cry of 'Dao' rang out, this heaven and earth began wind and cloud surging, changeful and unpredictable, the Great Emperor Dao Mark turned into endless brilliant starlight falling from the Nine Heavens above, evolving into a waterfall that flew straight down toward Lu Xuan and Ji Fuyao!

Ji Fuyao drifted down in a scarlet long skirt, her face showing an unprecedented solemnity; before the Great Emperor Dao Mark even descended, she felt endless pressure.

Her slender jade hand extended, continually shifting spiritual arts, to receive the baptism of the Great Emperor Dao Mark.

On the other side, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, merely sitting there.

"Boom!"

In just a breath, Lu Xuan was drenched like a soaked chicken.

Heaven Walking Old Ancestor asked, "Lu Xuan, do you feel anything?"

Lu Xuan said, "None!"

Heaven Walking Old Ancestor's face twitched, "Keep pouring, maybe you'll suddenly open your apertures sometime!"

Several thousand zhang away, Ji Fuyao's body surged with brilliant divine radiance; the power of the Great Dao Scripture within her was producing resonance, her hair floated up, slowly rising on the water surface, and the profound mysteries of the Great Emperor Dao Mark poured directly into her body.

At this moment, a torrent appeared in Ji Fuyao's inner world, endless profundity striking her limbs and bones, her body feeling a wave of numbness.

Her comprehension of the Great Dao Scripture kept rising!

At the same time, her cultivation kept surging!

As for Lu Xuan, nothing happened.

Fortunately, the System directly gave double feedback.

The System's voice sounded in Lu Xuan's ear.

"Ding! Host's senior disciple Ji Fuyao is comprehending the Great Dao Scripture! Begin synchronization!"
