[Several days later, when a nine-colored mystic bird passed over the skies above Tongtian Pavilion, it suddenly felt a stabbing pain in its talons.]
[It glanced down—nothing there!]
[But in the next instant, all the divine power in its body surged toward its claws.]
[Two breaths later.]
[A divine sword erupted into being and, with thunderous force, instantly cut the nine-colored mystic bird down on the spot!]
[This was Ye Yu’s improved version of Shadowless Sword Slash.]
[In Tongtian Pavilion’s Library Pavilion lay a fragmentary manual of Shadowless Sword Slash that a Demon God predecessor obtained after breaching Ancient Sword Gorge.]
[Why only a fragment? The reason is simple.]
[Shadowless Sword Slash is the signature god-art of Ancient Sword Gorge. To prevent it from spreading, they prepared two safeguards: the first half is a god-art technique manual, while the second half is a secret transmitted orally from Sword God to Sword God.]
[Only by combining both can one perform Shadowless Sword Slash.]
[It must be said—the method worked.]
[At least, after Tongtian Pavilion got that fragment, they were utterly unable to cultivate the art and tossed it into a corner.]
[However, just because others couldn’t doesn’t mean Ye Yu couldn’t!]
[The operating principle of Shadowless Sword Slash isn’t complicated. Using the handbook left by Tongtian Pavilion’s forebears—and his own sensations from when he was struck—]
[Ye Yu quickly deduced the missing second half of the art!]
[Don’t forget: in this dream, his talent is Heaven-Defying Comprehension.]
[Once he truly mastered Shadowless Sword Slash, Ye Yu felt its limitations were a bit much.]
[It takes a few days to slay a god? The delay is too long—not suitable!]
[Change it!]
[Thus, the improved Shadowless Sword Slash was born!]
[It can completely ignore the waiting period, forcibly drawing all of the cursed target’s divine power into the sword qi.]
[That way, the several-day delay is cut out entirely, and the sword seal can burst from the body in just two breaths to kill the target.]
[Besides that, Ye Yu also reduced the art’s cast time!]
[After a few days of practice he grew even more adept—he could trigger it with a single thought, catching people utterly unprepared!]
[Even Luo Shu, who’s usually all sharp tongue, couldn’t help praising the art!]
[After the improvements, it’s absurdly strong!]
[Still, until you step into the Golden God Realm, you’d best not show your face in the God Realm!]
[Zhu the Skinner is vindictive to the extreme. If he learns you’re alive, he’ll definitely find ways to come after you again!]
[Faced with this well-meant warning, Ye Yu expressed his thanks—but he wouldn’t necessarily heed it.]
[His cultivation had advanced again; he had reached the peak of the Great God Realm, just one step from the Heavenly God Realm.]
[Given that, he naturally wanted to seize a breakthrough opportunity as soon as possible—time waits for no one!]
[What’s more, Liu Yuenong had gone back into seclusion. Inside Tongtian Pavilion, only Ye Yu and Luo Shu were free to move around.]
[He couldn’t just sit here all day playing with a dog, could he?]
[Just saying it sounds like peak loneliness—and that’s not the life Ye Yu wants!]
[As for Liu Yuenong’s current seclusion, it wasn’t to assault the God Sovereign Realm but to recuperate.]
[Her last seclusion failed. With too many stray thoughts, she got hit by divine power backlash when she slipped.]
[Then came the Heng Xuanzhen and Zhu Zangwen mess, leaving Liu Yuenong no time to recover.]
[Now that she finally had a breather, if she didn’t adjust her breathing and aura quickly, she risked harming her foundation!]
[So she reluctantly returned to her place of seclusion.]
[Before going in, she specifically told Ye Yu to visit Heng Xuanzhen less.]
[Mm—“less” means he still can.]
[Ye Yu’s reading comprehension has always been perfect.]
[So he waved goodbye to Luo Shu and left Tongtian Pavilion again.]
[Ye Yu’s first stop was Ancient Sword Gorge—only to come up empty.]
[In the vast gorge, only Lu Nian and Bai Jia remained!]
[The ten-day limit hadn’t arrived yet, so neither had collapsed.]
[Ye Yu read both their memories and found that ever since Heng Xuanzhen went looking for Zhu Zangwen last time, she had never returned.]
[It had been just the two of them keeping lonely watch here.]
[That didn’t feel quite right.]
[Heng Xuanzhen left Tongtian Pavilion three days ago. If she wasn’t back, where else could she be?]
[Ye Yu couldn’t figure it out, but he didn’t dwell on it.]
[He resummoned Lu Nian and Bai Jia.]
[Doing this refreshed their duration of existence.]
[Within ten days, as soon as Heng Xuanzhen came back, they’d notify Ye Yu at once!]
[After finishing that, Ye Yu didn’t linger at Ancient Sword Gorge.]
[Right now, his goal was crystal clear: find powerful god-arts like Shadowless Sword Slash, improve them himself, and make them usable.]
[That way, he’d have more and more trump cards in hand!]
[In short: he absolutely could not waste this dream-world talent.]
[Of course, while getting stronger, he also couldn’t relax his guard against enemies’ schemes.]
[Zhu the Skinner is absolutely an old coin-grade schemer!]
[You can’t not guard against him!]
[So Ye Yu traveled around and summoned three experts at the peak of the Golden God Realm.]
[They were just a hair’s breadth from the Ancient God Realm.]
[When the time came, even if they ran into Zhu the Skinner, the three could still hold him off for a while!]
[That would greatly increase safety!]
[It must be said—this round of demon-side conversions went unusually smoothly; there were no dog-blood mishaps.]
[Otherwise Ye Yu really would have shut himself in!]
[With three flun—... protectors in tow, Ye Yu set off toward Extreme Moon Pavilion!]
[The reason for choosing it was simple.]
[A bona fide first-rate divine alliance—and the closest to his current location.]
[Since fate pointed that way, naturally he’d go there first.]
[Whether he joined the alliance or found a way to slip into their Library Pavilion, either way he was going to bring back some god-arts!]
[Absolutely no wasting of prime time!]
[However, while Ye Yu was on the road to Extreme Moon Pavilion—]
[He suddenly heard a roar of grief and fury from a bear!]
[The sound made heaven and earth tremble.]
[And that wasn’t the main thing. The main thing was that Ye Yu’s blood roiled uncontrollably.]
[As if some force in the dark were urging him east.]
[That was exactly where the sound had come from.]
[The feeling was strangely marvelous—like a summons from the bloodline itself.]
[It was Ye Yu’s first time experiencing anything like it.]
[So he tested it and headed east.]
