What brings you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan noticed the arrival and looked up, his smile undiminished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chongjian, cradling the ancient-looking longsword he never let out of his sight, bowed respectfully. \"Uncle-in-law, Wenjing. I have come to find Aunt Deyue. I wish to observe her Sword Dao Divine Ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Chuan's disciple, Ye Fan could be considered part of the Xu Family's Second Generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as Xu Deyue's husband, he could also be counted as part of the Third Generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xu Wenjing was from the fifth generation of the Xu Family and belonged to a different lineage than Xu Chongjian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xu Family had long established a rule that non-direct relatives could address each other by name or by formal titles, eliminating the need for excessive formality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they would be constantly addressing everyone they met as granduncle or grandaunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, many of these elders still looked remarkably young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As people pursuing Immortal Cultivation, there was no need to care so deeply about such titles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was enough to observe the formalities within three generations of direct blood relations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan nodded. \"Wait a moment. Your aunt should be meditating in the Quiet Room right now. I will call her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mere thought, he transmitted his voice inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, the door to the courtyard's main house opened silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue walked out with graceful steps. Today, she wore a simple white gauze dress, her dark hair loosely pinned up with a single Jade Hairpin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unadorned by makeup, she naturally exuded an aloof, otherworldly aura, looking like a Fairy from the lunar palace descending to the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze fell upon Xu Chongjian, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. \"Chongjian, you wish to witness a Sword Dao Divine Ability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xu Chongjian had only just broken through to Second-Layer Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue had heard both Xu Chuan and her father praise his Innate Talent in the Sword Dao; he could not be judged by conventional standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chongjian tightened his grip on his sword, his eyes flashing with fervent desire as he bowed deeply once more. \"Yes! I wish to observe a Sword Dao Divine Ability to verify my own path in the Sword Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have come specifically to seek guidance, and I hope Aunt will grant this request.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue nodded slightly, her expression gentle. \"Since that is the case, follow me to the back mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unleashing a Divine Ability causes quite a commotion. This place is not suitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Aunt!\" Xu Chongjian exclaimed joyfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, Xu Deyue took a delicate step. Her figure rose gracefully like a weightless feather, transforming into a cold, pristine gleam of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like flowing moonlight, she darted straight toward the back mountain of the Dongxi Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not daring to be slow, Xu Chongjian channeled his Mana with all his might, turning into a streak of sword light that closely followed behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ye Fan chuckled and turned to Xu Wenjing beside him. \"Wenjing, do you want to go watch together? Dual Cultivation of Dharma and Body means cultivating both the physical form and the mystic arts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Elder Ye Fan,\" Xu Wenjing responded respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation had reached the Mid-Ninth Layer Foundation Establishment, only a hair's breadth away from the late stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through, he could rely on Pills to smoothly reach Foundation Establishment Perfection, allowing him to dedicate more time to his Divine Abilities and body tempering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men subsequently took to the air, following at a leisurely pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an expansive clearing at the back mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was smooth, the view was unobstructed, and it was surrounded by soundproofing and defensive Restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue alighted gracefully in the center of the clearing, while Xu Chongjian stood solemnly at attention several kilometers behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan and Xu Wenjing stood off to another side, watching quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue did not draw the Supreme Yin Flying Sword. She merely raised her pale hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A longsword—a Two-Pattern Magic Tool that gleamed like flowing autumn waters with deeply restrained coldness—appeared in her grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Autumn Water Sword she had used in her earlier years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that soft command, the aura around her abruptly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original sensation of cool moonlight did not dissipate; instead, it gained an extra layer of unparalleled, solitary grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no earth-shattering commotion, nor was there any sharp, bone-piercing killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue's figure seemed to fuse into one with the Autumn Water Sword in her hand. As the sword stance unfolded, she began to dance gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no longer a simple sword technique, but more like a soaring fairy's dance from the celestial lunar palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword light flowed, resembling cascading moonlight—cold, clear, and pristine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her swaying figure moved like a legendary moon goddess unfurling her sleeves, incomparably exquisite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every step she took, illusory ice lotuses seemed to bloom and vanish beneath her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every sweep of her blade, streaks of lingering cold light remained in the air, weaving together into a dreamlike tapestry of ice and snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword stance was at times as ethereal as the moon hidden behind clouds, elusive and unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At other times, it was as swift as a falling meteor, vanishing in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cold Qi did not recklessly radiate outward; rather, it coiled with incomparable density around the sword's edge and her body, freezing the very air into minuscule ice crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the sunlight pierced through, it refracted into a dazzling, prismatic halo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Soul-Stirring and Heart-Shaking in its beauty, leaving observers utterly mesmerized, yet the profound chill hidden within felt capable of freezing a person's blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chongjian watched in a trance, his eyes unblinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was completely immersed in that profoundly mystical sword dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this moment, he seemed to fall into some sort of epiphany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he saw was no longer the sword moves themselves, but the Sword Dao True Intent and the True Intent of extreme cold contained within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to his eyes, the Sword Dao True Intent was minuscule; the primary power stemmed predominantly from the terrifying True Intent of cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is this... a Sword Art infused with the True Intent of a Divine Ability?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was utterly shaken to his core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since childhood, Xu Chongjian had studied numerous Sword Arts, spanning both the Martial Dao and the Immortal Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at his young age, he already possessed the demeanor of a Sword Dao grandmaster capable of melting down and integrating countless schools of thought, and he had already created his own Sword Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he had never been completely satisfied with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, he had not even perfected the first stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So it lacked Sword Dao True Intent! Without this Sword Dao True Intent, how could it be called a true Sword Art?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those at Foundation Establishment and above were capable of creating their own cultivation methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the higher one's vision, the more flawless and profound their methods would become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about fifteen minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue gradually withdrew her sword stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final trace of cold light retracted into the blade. She stood silently with the sword in hand as the surrounding illusory ice crystals slowly faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if that breathtaking sword dance from moments ago had merely been a fleeting illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned toward Xu Chongjian, her breathing completely steady. \"How does it feel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chongjian snapped out of his reverie but did not answer immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes in deep thought for a moment before opening them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was clear, carrying a trace of uncertain inquiry. \"Aunt, in my humble opinion, the Sword Dao Divine Ability you executed seemed to focus mainly on the Dao of Cold. The pure Sword Dao True Intent was quite minuscule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this Divine Ability gives me the feeling that it is not yet flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But exactly where the flaw lies, I cannot say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, a distinct flash of surprise and admiration appeared in Xu Deyue's eyes. \"To be able to see through to that layer... your Innate Talent in the Sword Dao is indeed extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are not mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast majority of what the world calls Sword Dao Divine Abilities are actually just specific elemental True Intents or special conceptual states fused into the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are then executed using sword techniques merely as a vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their core often lies in that elemental True Intent, rather than the pure essence of the 'sword' itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused briefly before continuing, \"As for a pure Sword Cultivator's path—one that uses the sword as the absolute origin, relies on no External Objects, and only tempers the sword heart, Sword Intent, and Sword Dao...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all my years of Immortal Cultivation, I have never truly seen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps such practitioners exist today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Heaven and Earth are vast, and what your aunt has witnessed is but a drop in the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the imperfection you mentioned...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue suddenly smiled warmly, like a blooming ice lotus. \"My Divine Ability is only at Minor Success. Your Aunt Deling has already reached Great Accomplishment, though what she cultivates is a Pupil Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That falls under the category of special Divine Abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Divine Ability at Perfection, you might have to consult your Great-Grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Dao of Divine Abilities, he is the undisputed master of our Xu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the old man has never explicitly stated it to us, the Divine Abilities he has comprehended must have already reached Perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the path he walks shares some similarities with yours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also embarked on the path of creating his own Divine Abilities during Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brilliant light shot from Xu Chongjian's eyes as the reverence in his heart surged for the Great-Grandfather he had only met a handful of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Great-Grandfather thinks very highly of you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, you might truly have a chance to touch upon the pure path of a Sword Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To comprehend true Sword Dao True Intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using that as a foundation, you can then cultivate other elemental Sword Art Divine Abilities—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze grew profound, as if peering into Xu Chongjian's future. \"That would be equivalent to bearing dual Divine Abilities within the Sword Dao. They would complement and enhance each other, and their power... would be enough to crush ordinary Divine Abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chongjian suddenly recalled his previous spar with Xu Chongfei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had mentioned that his Divine Ability was anchored by the dual True Intents of Extreme Yang and Extreme Cold, granting it power far beyond conventional techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, Aunt! I understand now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue nodded with a smile. \"Do you need me to demonstrate the details one more time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chongjian took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions. He shook his head, his expression having returned to calm composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the flames burning in the depths of his eyes had grown even more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won't be necessary, Aunt. I have already gained some Comprehension. I know where I must go next, and how I must tread that path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will engrave today's generous guidance in my heart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he offered another solemn bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue nodded. \"We are family; there is no need to treat me like an outsider. If you have any confusions, you can seek advice from your Great-Grandfather. He is a man of true, profound wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he walks the Dao of Alchemy and cultivates Spell Arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the Xu Family has received his invaluable pointers at some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There may be millions of paths in the Dao, but All Dharmas Share the Same Origin, and Different Paths, Same Destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you desire great achievements, you must avoid Building a Cart Behind Closed Doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must listen more, observe more, and seek to comprehend more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the teachings, Aunt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chongjian felt deeply moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were only separated by a single generation in terms of title, their actual age gap was massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Xu Chongjian had only met Xu Deyue two or three times. Were it not for their bloodline connection, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them strangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In large aristocratic families, there were countless instances of cold and indifferent relationships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue was genuinely looking out for him, offering her guidance to the best of her abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This truly touched his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So this is my Xu Family? They will wholeheartedly guide a junior they have only met a few times, desiring nothing but his success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such cohesion, how could our Xu Family fail to rise?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could easily imagine how deep the bonds were between the Second Generation and Third Generation during the early days of the family's ascent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that such a culture persisted into the present generations highlighted the massive gap between them and other clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chongjian spun around, transforming into a streak of sword light that sped straight toward his cultivation Quiet Room in the Grand Manor. He was evidently impatient to digest everything he had just learned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the fading sword light, Ye Fan and Xu Wenjing walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan chuckled. \"That boy Chongjian truly has staggering Innate Talent and Comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging solely on his insight and grasp of the Sword Dao's essence, he might just edge out our Chongfei by a fraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the entire fourth generation of the Xu Family, it is truly hard to say which of those two will dictate the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue gazed in the direction Xu Chongjian had vanished, her eyes filled with comfort and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, she rolled her eyes lightly at Ye Fan. \"They have their own paths to walk. We shouldn't interfere too much with their rivalry and growth. Let nature take its course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they don't stray onto the wrong path, regardless of who ends up stronger, it will be a blessing for the Xu Family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan laughed heartily and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. \"My wife speaks the truth. I was overthinking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let's go, Wenjing. Back to our earlier lesson.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Xu Wenjing replied respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them subsequently departed from the back mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wenjing, the path you walk is the ancient Dao of the Body Cultivator. Although it differs somewhat from mine, the core essence remains the same. I have thoroughly studied your Body Refining Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the supplementary materials required for body tempering are exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, you can use the tempering methods from the Brahma Sacred Body Art that I cultivate to strengthen your Physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even the easiest of these methods requires your physical body to reach the second tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from what I can see, while your Tendons and bones are formidable, you still have quite a ways to go before crossing into the second tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can start by tempering yourself using the methods from the Body Refining Art. If you fail to break through for an extended period, go ask my Honored Master. See if he has any precious medicinal herbs for body tempering in his possession.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then let out a soft sigh. \"The path of a Body Cultivator is arduous, especially in the current era where resources are vastly inferior to the Ancient Era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though our path is powerful, it is also exceptionally resource-intensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even I do not know how far I will be able to sustain this Dual Cultivation of Dharma and Body into the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I firmly believe that with your aptitudes and Innate Talent, Elder Ye, you will definitely achieve a Fourth-Tier physical body in the future. Once you do, I wonder just how powerful you will be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Xu Wenjing's curious expression, Ye Fan pondered for a moment before answering, \"If I dual cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage, I imagine that even as a novice at that level, I could hold my own against a peak Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Late-Stage Nascent Soul experts, they are respectfully addressed as Grand Cultivators across the Heavenly South.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are currently the absolute apex of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you add up all the visible and hidden powers, there might not even be twenty of them in existence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan chuckled. \"Of course, this is merely my conjecture. It shouldn't be taken as fact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenjing's face was full of yearning. \"I don't know if I will ever reach such heights in the future. But the Old Ancestor certainly can, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That goes without saying,\" Ye Fan agreed. \"But once we step into that realm, our Xu Family will become a true, top-tier Nascent Soul Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will earn the right to participate in the real games played among peak factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Divine Transformation realm... there are rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they are never seen walking the mortal world. Perhaps they are restricted by something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenjing looked incredibly curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan smiled wryly. \"Don't look at me. I know nothing about matters of such a high level. My Honored Master might know a bit more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing for a moment, he added, \"Let us end it here for today.
