CHAPTER 910: CHAPTER 364: IF NOT SMOKE AND CLOUDS, THEN ILLUSION TECHNIQUE

On the thirtieth day, Lu Luanti summoned back a condensed purple-golden rune Dao Seed from her chest and returned it to the center of her forehead.

She immediately opened her eyes, revealing a light, relaxed smile.

Lu Luanti thought to herself that she had finally kept her word, managing to complete these two Lifebound Techniques within thirty days.

She then looked into the distance at Chu Xisheng, lazily sleeping on Little Xuanwu’s back.

The smile in Lu Luanti’s eyes subtly faded.

This past month, she practiced diligently every day, sleeping for less than thirty hours in total.

As for this guy, every 24 hours, he spends at least 20 hours sleeping, quite leisurely.

She sneered slightly, forming a seal with her hand.

"Decree, Seal!"

A small talisman array instantly unfolded layer upon layer in front of her hand seal.

——This was precisely one of the Lifebound Techniques she had just completed, "One Word Becomes a Proverb"!

This technique was far more complex than "Heavenly Punishment Thunderstorm," so Lu Luanti learned the simpler one first, then practiced "One Word Becomes a Proverb" afterwards.

Chu Xisheng, who was originally sound asleep, was startled awake as soon as Lu Luanti’s technique was completed.

He felt an unusual power sealing his True Essence Qi Veins.

Chu Xisheng immediately understood what was happening.

He promptly activated his Qi Blood True Essence, surging it inside his body.

Even without triggering "God’s Sorrow," Chu Xisheng possessed a high-level "Power of Breaking Magic."

While "One Word Becomes a Proverb" might be terrifying for other martial cultivators, to him, it was somewhat inadequate.

Chu Xisheng quickly returned to normal, then looked at Lu Luanti with a hint of delight.

"Complete?"

At this moment, everyone was awakened by the disturbance and looked towards Lu Luanti.

"Complete!" Lu Luanti lifted her charming chin proudly, "These two techniques are a bit rough. I made some improvements, which took a little more time."

Chu Xisheng nodded appreciatively: "This technique is quite magical, spoken as a law. With your mere Sixth Grade Upper cultivation, you can temporarily seal my Qi Blood True Essence, impressive!"

He took another disc-shaped bundle from Little Xuanwu’s back and tossed it to Lu Luanti: "Here’s your secret medicine, use it soon, everyone’s waiting for you."

According to the stele’s inscriptions, once they mastered these two techniques, there was no need to wait here any longer.

Those who mastered the spells could perform them in front of the stele, gain recognition, and leave this hall earlier.

This all meant that they could have left ten days ago, but stayed to wait for Lu Luanti.

Hearing the words "mere Sixth Grade Upper," Lu Luanti clenched her teeth.

She used to often say "mere Ninth Grade, mere Eighth Grade, mere Seventh Grade" in front of Chu Xisheng, and now it was her turn to experience karma.

Chu Xisheng’s cultivation had already surpassed hers.

Actually, her cultivation speed wasn’t slow either.

In two years, she progressed from Seventh Grade Upper to Fifth Grade Lower, a cultivation speed comparable to those of the Great Sect’s Holy Transmission.

Despite engaging in Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, her cultivation progressed with such Divine Speed, especially rare.

However, Chu Xisheng’s talent placed him among the most outstanding in human history. Specializing in one path, it was only a matter of time before surpassing her.

Lu Luanti couldn’t stand Chu Xisheng’s smug expression.

She opened the bundle angrily, pressing in the middle of the disc-shaped magic artifact.

Lu Luanti resolved fiercely in her heart.

Soon after, she’d have a chance to enter the "Time Secret Realm."

She vowed to surpass Chu Xisheng, preferably leaving him far behind within the year!

Jian Cangfeng and Zhoou Liangchen both brightened up upon hearing so.

Jian Cangfeng couldn’t help but smile as he thought of seeing Ye Zhiqiu soon.

Zhoou Liangchen also felt a surge of anticipation.

They had been waiting for Lu Luanti for a month, while also practicing diligently here.

Zhoou Liangchen did not find cultivation tedious.

The problem was that this hall not only restricted movement but was also enclosed by walls, feeling somewhat stifling mentally.

Unlike Chu Xisheng and Little Xuanwu, he couldn’t sleep away a month.

Chu Yunyun opened her eyes, casting a subtle glance at Ji Qianqian in the corner.

Ji Qianqian’s expression was unchanged.

Yet Chu Yunyun noticed Ji Qianqian’s hand seemed to be clutching something in her sleeve, her eyes cold as ice.

While pondering, Chu Yunyun turned her gaze back to Chu Xisheng.

She sensed a change in Chu Xisheng’s blood.

Had his "Blood of Ten Thousand Ages" advanced again?

He smells so alluring now—

※※※※

Just half a day later, the Ice City Young Master, Zhangsun Bingquan, followed Ween Zhiyi of "One Sword Overturning City" out of a sealed hall.

His eyes held a hint of disappointment as he looked at Ween Zhiyi’s back.

Ween Zhiyi hadn’t brought anyone with sorcerer qualifications inside.

Ultimately, it was Zhangsun Bingquan who mastered "One Word Becomes a Proverb" and "Heavenly Punishment Thunderstorm."

Despite interference from Vigorous Force at the Fifth Grade Upper level, he took just 30 days to master these two spells from the Divine Turtle Wanderer, condensing a talisman seed and passing the first trial.

Zhangsun Bingquan hoped to earn Ween Zhiyi’s praise for this endeavor, excited at the prospect.

Like a child in private school who memorized an essay and eagerly awaited commendation from elders.

Zhangsun Bingquan knew it was childish, yet couldn’t help but anticipate.

He had no father or mother, raised single-handedly by the Ice City Princess Zhangsun Ruoli.
