While Chu Zhiyuan was operating his energy, he was experiencing the changes within himself.

He did not simply infuse the Taihao Jade Void Scripture’s aura into Xiao Ruoling’s body.

The aura from Xiao Ruoling’s Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique was also flowing into his body and influencing him.

Once the aura of the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique entered his body, it soothed the dryness and pain within.

It was like moving from magma into boiling water; though still painfully unbearable, the degree of pain decreased significantly.

As the aura of the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique became increasingly pure, the degree of pain continued to decrease.

A wonderful thought spontaneously arose: Shouldn’t the Taihao Jade Void Scripture be practiced together with the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique?

Could this be the true cultivation method of the Taihao Jade Void Scripture?

This was never mentioned in the martial arts notes of Master Ji.

He had already finished reading through Master Ji’s martial arts notes, completely imprinting them into his brain, available to peruse and ponder at any time.

Some martial arts enlightenment, and some fragmentary insights about the heavens and the earth, scattered and not systematic.

His comprehension was exceptional, and by merging with the Miao Ling Pearl, he often had flashes of inspiration when encountering those scattered insights. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The sparks of inspiration allowed him to have a deeper enlightenment about martial arts and the world.

He felt such enlightenment immensely assisted in the improvement of his cultivation, as if the limit was being approached.

Regarding the aura of Jade Void Heaven, Master Ji Ji Wenxuan had numerous conjectures.

The Jade Void Heaven is the beginning, the first heaven, as recorded by the Taihao Jade Void Scripture.

But whether the actual Jade Void Heaven was truly the first heaven, the primal aura, Ji Wenxuan had always doubted.

If it were truly the primal first heaven, the primal aura, then why would it be so scorching, so extreme?

This did not convey the feeling of unifying the heavens and earth with one energy.

It felt more like a destructive energy, not a primal aura, not vitality.

...

Chu Zhiyuan released his palms and opened his eyes to look at Xiao Ruoling.

The blood energy around Xiao Ruoling swiftly recovered, turning from a translucent beauty statue back to a vibrant and alluring woman.

She opened her bright eyes.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Congratulations."

"I really didn’t expect..." Xiao Ruoling’s bright eyes sparkled.

"I also didn’t expect it to be so wonderful; it seems we need to practice together going forward."

"If husband assists me in cultivation this way, my progress will be faster."

"The Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique is indeed mystical, worthy of diligent practice."

"Naturally, it’s concerned with the ability to maintain youth forever, as well as lifespan; no one would neglect it, the disciples in the palace are very attentive."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Now that we’ve finally found a shortcut to practice it, let’s seize the time to cultivate fiercely for a while."

With his Taihao Jade Void Scripture assisting her, the speed of practicing the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique would drastically increase.

Xiao Ruoling laughed, "Husband, come whenever you have time, no worries."

"Madam, you can hold your composure." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Xiao Ruoling was very tranquil, not eager to cultivate, already having undergone a mindset transition: a prolonged lifespan, no need to rush.

Moreover, she didn’t have the intent to compete or excel.

Disciples of the Profound Yin Palace can go to the Outer Realm Battlefield, or not, without compulsion.

"Husband, does this cultivation benefit you?"

"Immensely beneficial," Chu Zhiyuan replied.

The aura of the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique can significantly reduce the scorching heat of the Jade Void Heavenly Qi, greatly alleviating the pain.

Although it can’t completely eliminate the pain yet, the future is promising.

As the depth of the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique increases and the aura becomes purer, its effect will be even stronger.

So the urgent matter is still to deepen the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique.

"That’s excellent then."

"The deeper the realm of the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique, the greater the benefits for me."

"Then does husband need me to reach a deeper realm?"

"Yes, very much needed."

"Then let’s continue," Xiao Ruoling said.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "You’re lacking in spirit, can’t continue, tomorrow then."

The Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique consumes immense spirit; otherwise, they would still be practicing now.

...

Zhu Lingyun’s face was somber.

He stood atop a mountain peak, the strong wind blowing.

The sun shone brightly, yet its radiant light couldn’t warm the air around him.

Su Qi and two other Undying Evil Venerables stood facing him, their robes fluttering.

Their expressions were also dark and gloomy.

Su Qi gritted his teeth, "Didn’t expect these guys to be such cowards!"

The round-faced middle-aged man snorted, "Brother Su, can’t you suppress them as well?"

Su Qi coldly replied, "They don’t listen; I can’t just kill a few, which might not work."

The mountain where they stood was already clean and tranquil.

Originally clusters and groups of evil demons, now nowhere to be seen.

"Brother Su, since when did you become so soft-hearted? If they don’t listen, just kill them!" The round-faced middle-aged man puckered his lips.

The gaunt middle-aged man said, "You can’t just kill as you wish; the impact can be immense."

Su Qi said, "They don’t offer tributes to me, can’t go for the kill."

"Brother Su, you’re afraid someone from You Meng Heaven will bother you? It’s merely a Venerable, not yet complete."

"It’s different." Su Qi shook his head, "Brother fighting against brother, not wise."

Zhu Lingyun coldly said, "Brother Su, do you know who this Venerable is, so you’re hesitant to offend?"

Su Qi chuckled, "Hey, what a joke!"

"Ha, I see!" The round-faced middle-aged man clapped, realizing, "Is his status intimidating?"

The gaunt middle-aged man said, "Is he a powerful figure within the sect?"

A mere Venerable’s status is far inferior to that of a Venerable Perfection, as strength dictates status.

However, there are exceptions, such as having stronger protectors, relatives, or elders.

In such cases, they can’t be offended.

Such as if the Venerable’s father was the Sect Master, or an uncle or brother was the Sect Master, if not Sect Master then Elder.

All are entities that can’t be offended.

After all, a Venerable Perfection is also a Venerable and cannot surpass the sect.

Su Qi softly coughed, looking around.

Zhu Lingyun snorted, "Who exactly is this person, Brother Su? With our current relationship, is it still necessary to conceal?"

"Indeed, Brother Su, we’re in the same boat now, among ourselves!"

"Is he truly unbeatable?"

Su Qi helplessly said, "He’s the Third Elder’s brother."

"Third Elder?" Zhu Lingyun frowned.

The round-faced middle-aged man said in a stern voice, "Hu Yaohui’s brother Hu Huixiang?"

"Yes, it’s Hu Huixiang." Su Qi nodded.

The round-faced middle-aged man said, "This guy seems unskilled, is considered a waste, right?"

"He is indeed a waste, but his big brother is formidable, and we dare not offend." Su Qi shook his head, "Everyone knows the Third Elder is extremely protective."

"This Third Elder is quite unusual," the round-faced middle-aged man looked at Zhu Lingyun, "Rumored to be on the cusp of achieving the Divine Venerable."

Zhu Lingyun casually said, "Then it means he hasn’t broken through, is he much stronger than us?"

The round-faced middle-aged man sighed, "It’s said he’s mastered a lost Miracle Technique from Qianye Valley, immensely powerful, unmatched among his peers."

The gaunt middle-aged man said, "It’s called the Thousand Mechanism Soul Chasing Technique, right?"

Su Qi slowly nodded, "So far, only the Third Elder has mastered it."

"The Thousand Mechanism Soul Chasing Technique of Qianye Valley..." Zhu Lingyun pondered.

He searched his memory, frowning, "Is this Thousand Mechanism Soul Chasing Technique really that formidable?"

"In killing, there is no defense against it," Su Qi said, "It’s immensely powerful, and so far, no expert has been spared from the Third Elder."

Zhu Lingyun was half-skeptical, "Isn’t this invincible then?"

Su Qi said, "If not for the fear of the Divine Venerable, the Third Elder could kill whoever he wants."

The round-faced middle-aged man sighed, "Then Hu Huixiang is indeed not to be provoked."

Zhu Lingyun’s expression grew increasingly gloomy.
