Chapter 42: A hasty death, burned to death by smoke

The detailed content of the Ye family's ancestral cultivation method was like an ancient and mysterious scroll, slowly unfolding in Ye Xiuxiu's mind.

At the same time,

An invisible yet tangible flow of air,

like a nimble little snake,

began to flow silently within her body.

This was spiritual energy, not Ye Xiuxiu's Magnanimous Righteous Qi.

Just then, the previously noisy surroundings suddenly fell silent,

everyone's gazes were drawn to her as if by a magnet,

all fixing on Ye Xiuxiu.

Their eyes were filled with surprise, doubt, and anticipation.

"The Ye family's ancestral cultivation method has actually started operating inside Xiuxiu's body?"

Ye Songzhi's face filled with shock, and he silently thought, "Oh no,"

His voice trembled slightly from nervousness: "Oh no!"

"We must immediately stop Xiuxiu from continuing the cultivation method!"

Ye Songzhi was so anxious he stomped his feet,

at her current age she hasn't reached it yet,

if we let this situation develop,

it will likely have unforeseen negative effects on Ye Xiuxiu's future.

However, Ye Qingping beside him slightly furrowed his brow,

signaling Ye Songzhi to wait a moment,

After he stared thoughtfully at Ye Xiuxiu for a while,

a fleeting hint of joy quickly crossed his face, barely noticeable.

"No need."

Everyone was stunned, not understanding why Ye Qingping reacted that way.

Immediately after,

only to hear Ye Qingping continue explaining:

"I just realized that Xiuxiu seems to have an acquired special constitution."

"Strengthening the body."

Upon hearing the four words "Strengthening the body,"

the others became even more bewildered,

obviously they had never heard this unfamiliar term before.

"Strengthening the body?"

Bai Qixia was dazed,

she had never heard of it.

However, aside from Ye Qingping,

Ye Ruyan in the crowd seemed to suddenly recall something,

her delicate body shuddered, her beautiful eyes widened,

she screamed wildly in her heart,

"What!"

"Ye Xiuxiu actually already possesses the acquired constitution Strengthening the Body?"

Ye Ruyan felt her heart suddenly race,

as if it were about to leap out of her throat,

"This... this how could it be possible!"

In her previous life,

Ye Xiuxiu also only after sixty years,

did she acquire the top-tier acquired constitution Strengthening the Body,

how does she have it now?

Could it be that she gained it together with that whistle?

The plot changes are growing larger and larger,

as if everything had been advanced by sixty years.

You should know that,

even Ye Xiuxiu, who obtained these treasures only after sixty years,

after fiercely clashing with him,

she could still unleash the astonishing power of the Samadhi True Fire, burning him.

If Ye Xiuxiu were to obtain it sixty years earlier,

then it's hard to imagine how terrifying a level Ye Xiuxiu would reach at that time.

Even to this day,

Ye Ruyan still vividly remembers the tragic scene of her own miserable death at the hands of the enemy,

the pet beside Ye Xiuxiu held a wisp of spiritual smoke leisurely in its mouth,

that seemingly harmless little creature merely flicked off the ash absentmindedly.

Who would have thought that the cigarette ash that popped out unintentionally would drift down so evenly onto oneself.

Immediately after, Ye Ruyan was reborn.

The Ye family's ancestral cultivation method at this moment was like a babbling stream,

flowing and circulating nonstop within Ye Xiuxiu's body.

However, Ye Xiuxiu, immersed in this wonderful sensation, was completely unaware of it,

she simply felt that her body was being gently caressed by the warm spring sunshine,

every inch of skin feeling extremely comfortable and at ease.

Just then, Ye Qingping, who had been intently watching Ye Xiuxiu, suddenly furrowed his brows,

and said in a low voice:

"Wrong, this doesn't seem to be our Ye family's ancestral cultivation method."

Although his voice was not loud,

it was exceptionally clear in this quiet space.

Everyone hearing this felt a jolt in their hearts,

and their gazes all focused on him.

Immediately afterward, Ye Qingping added:

"Look, the circulation route of this cultivation method is clearly wrong."

Just these two simple sentences were like a thunderclap exploding in the air, instantly raising again the hearts that everyone had just lowered to their throats.

Bai Qingsia, standing aside, was even more full of worry,

and involuntarily reached out to gently tug at Ye Qingping's sleeve.

Feeling Bai Qingsia's tension,

Ye Qingping quickly reached out and gently held her slightly trembling little hand, trying to give her some comfort.

"Not only that,"

Ye Qingping took a deep breath and continued his analysis,

"The way this spiritual energy circulates is truly too extraordinary; I have never seen anything like it before."

"What's even stranger is that it appears not to be Xiuxiu actively guiding the spiritual energy's movement; rather, the spiritual energy seems to be under some kind of guidance,"

"moving along on its own the specific pathways already existing within her body."

Bai Qingsia instantly became even more worried,

"Husband, will Xiuxiu be alright?"

At this moment, Ye Xiuxiu's grandmother Li Dongxia was full of regret,

"What have I been meddling in,"

"the wicked exhaust their brains, while the foolish have a sudden spark."

"I am that foolish person!"

An idea appeared in Ye Qingping's mind,

and gradually solidified,

his eyes suddenly brightened,

"I know now."

"This must be an innate cultivation method that Ye Xiuxiu possesses from birth!"

"That is, the legendary companion-body cultivation method!"

When the four words "companion-body cultivation method" left Ye Qingping's mouth, the entire scene instantly fell into dead silence.

After a moment, everyone present came to their senses as if waking from a dream,

and each person's face showed an expression of incredulous delight.

Especially Bai Qingsia and others who were close to Ye Xiuxiu,

they could hardly believe what was happening before their eyes.

Because the companion-body cultivation method is an extremely rare and powerful existence,

Ye Xiuxiu's future path of cultivation will undoubtedly be bright.

Cultivation methods are divided into six distinct levels,

from low to high they are: Yellow, Xuan, Earth, Heaven, Divine, and Saint levels.

Among them, the cultivation methods of the four levels Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow are all created by numerous cultivators relying on their own wisdom and experience.

However, when these methods first appeared,

they often had many imperfections,

and their cultivation upper limits were also somewhat restricted.

After all, for a cultivator merely at the Body Integration Stage,

it is no easy feat to create out of thin air a cultivation method suitable for the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

They can only constantly explore and try on the long path of cultivation,

and only after countless failures can they combine their actual circumstances to push the method forward by a tiny, insignificant step.

Not only that,

even if later practitioners cultivate this method to the peak of perfection, compared to the original creator they will still be slightly inferior.

Such a gap is like an uncrossable chasm,

even if the practitioner has reached the top level,

there remains a subtle difference of ninety-nine point nine percent to one hundred percent between them and the creator.
