I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Xu Yan looked at the bamboo in Ming Yu's hand, his eyes widened in astonishment, and his gaze toward her slightly changed.

The bamboo in Ming Yu's hand was all too familiar to Xu Yan; he had planted one in the Domain, which he had dug up from the Seductive Witch, the Qing Ling Jade Bamboo.

What astonished Xu Yan was that the bamboo in Ming Yu's hand was of a higher grade compared to the one he had planted in the Domain—it seemed to be a fully grown Qing Ling Jade Bamboo, not a young shoot.

However, the bamboo Ming Yu held was just a section, not the whole plant.

The source of Qing Ling Jade Bamboo was the Master of the Qing Ling Realm; whether it was the young shoots obtained by the Seductive Witch, they all came from the Master of the Qing Ling Realm.

Xu Yan reached out to take the bamboo from Ming Yu's hand, examined it carefully for a moment, and was almost certain that this piece of bamboo came from the main body of the Qing Ling Jade Bamboo!

"Where did you get this bamboo?" Xu Yan couldn't help but ask.

Of the Seven Great Domain Masters, only Netherworld was known to be alive, while the weakest among them, the Master of the Qing Ling Realm, had likely long since perished.

Could this piece of bamboo be her remains?

"It came from my home," Ming Yu replied.

"Do you have one of these bamboos planted at your home?" Xu Yan asked curiously.

Could it be, besides the Master of the Qing Ling Realm, there existed a second Qing Ling Jade Bamboo in the Land of Imperishable?

"Not really sure," Ming Yu shook her head.

"Alright, I'll accept this bamboo as payment for escorting you!"

Determined, Xu Yan decided to visit Ming Yu's home to explore the origins of the Qing Ling Jade Bamboo.

"Thank you very much!" Ming Yu was overjoyed.

"Since that's settled, shall we set off now?" Xu Yan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and a Flying Boat appeared.

Since he was escorting Ming Yu, traveling by Flying Boat was the wisest decision; this Flying Boat was naturally refined by Fang Hao to wander through the Land of Imperishable.

"What's this?" Ming Yu blinked, staring at the Flying Boat for a long while.

"A Flying Boat, a means of transportation," Xu Yan did not explain too much.

He boarded the Flying Boat and said, "Miss Ming Yu, come aboard."

"Alright!" Ming Yu nodded, and after boarding the Flying Boat, her bright eyes slowly filled with curiosity as she carefully examined the Flying Boat.

"Miss Ming Yu, where should we head?" Xu Yan asked.

"From here, go in this direction," Ming Yu pointed in a certain direction.

"Alright!" Xu Yan nodded, and the Flying Boat sped off in the direction Ming Yu had indicated.

...

Somewhere in the Land of Imperishable, Netherworld sat cross-legged atop a mountain, which served as his station to prevent the strong from Yu Ting from crossing this area and approaching Taicang.

At a certain moment, a palm-sized, dark gray bird flew swiftly toward the mountain, arriving in an instant.

"What's the matter?" Netherworld glanced at the small bird and asked in a deep voice.

This was a Communication True Spirit from the Imperishable Temple; each Master of Heaven and Earth level had one for messaging. These spirits were not particularly strong but were incredibly fast and small, making them hard to detect when flying through Chaos.

"From someone in Yu Ting, the presence of Qing Ling Jade Bamboo was detected; they were trying to kill her but seemed to have failed. Keep an eye out," the bird spoke.

"The presence of Qing Ling Jade Bamboo?" Netherworld frowned, "Are you certain?"

"Certain!"

"I understand," Netherworld took a deep breath.

"Capture alive."

After saying that, the bird flapped its wings and flew away, instantly disappearing into the vast expanse of the Land of Imperishable.

Netherworld's gaze was directed towards the vast Land of Imperishable, his expression calm, yet his eyes revealed a complex emotion.

After a long while, he raised his hand, and strands of the Dao Principles of Domain emerged, a breath rippled out, and immediately disappeared into the vast Land of Imperishable.

Netherworld squinted his eyes slightly, seemingly sensing something.

"I have gained nothing!"

After a long while, Netherworld appeared thoughtful.

"Is Qing Yu still alive? If she is, why can't I sense her?"

The Witch was still alive but severely wounded, with strong beings from the Imperishable Temple chasing her. With the Witch's abilities, she could avoid their senses, severing some special connections between the Seven Great Domain Masters.

But, not Qing Yu!

She lacked the strength to do so, unable to evade his detection.

However, when he used the connection between the Seven Great Domain Masters, he again came up with nothing.

"Is it because the distance is too great, or has Qing Yu now acquired the ability to sever the special connection of the Seven Great Domain Masters to avoid my detection?"

Netherworld's brows furrowed.

In his mind, unbidden, emerged the image of that graceful figure in a blue-green gown, her beauty unmatched, complicating his emotions further.

"How could Qing Yu have survived?"

Netherworld was puzzled. Among the seven, Qing Yu was the weakest. Although she had great vitality, excelling in healing wounds and could reduce fatal injuries, it was still unlikely for her to survive a fierce battle.

Moreover, as Qing Yu's true form was the Qing Ling Jade Bamboo, which possessed limitless vitality making her the most vital among the Seven Great Domains, the Unchanging Divine Master would definitely not let her escape.

"Was it the people of Yu Ting who rescued her?"

Since the aura of Qing Ling Jade Bamboo appeared on the Jade Person of Yu Ting, it was probably not unrelated to Yu Ting.

"Or did Taicang send her away from the battlefield?"

Netherworld's expression grew even more complex, and involuntarily, the imposing figure surfaced again in his mind. Netherworld never submitted to anyone, not even the Unchanging Divine Master, whose strength he acknowledged but did not respect.

Only Taicang he truly respected!

"Ah!"

A long sigh.

The Flying Boat flew at high speed over the Land of Imperishable. After some time interacting, Xu Yan gained a deeper understanding of Ming Yu. Although this girl seemed slow and clumsy, she was actually quite clever.

Xu Yan found an opportunity to discuss Martial Arts with Ming Yu, to his surprise, she had quite an insight and managed to understand about fifty to sixty percent of what he explained about Martial Arts.

This was more talented than any other Minor Heaven and Earth Master.

As they interacted, Xu Yan also gained a more direct understanding of Ming Yu's power. The Way of the Domain was giving birth to new Dao Principles, stemming from copying Ming Yu's power.

The opportunity to break through to Minor Achievement in Establishing Dao Realm was coming soon.

"Flying Boats are so much fun!"

Ming Yu, controlling the Flying Boat, smiled happily.

"Then you control the Flying Boat, I need to organize my own Martial Arts," Xu Yan said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I won't disturb you!"

Ming Yu nodded her head.

"If there's an attack, I'll take action. If you're in danger, you can also call me."

Xu Yan instructed her, then he retired to a secret chamber in the Flying Boat to prepare for the breakthrough to Minor Achievement in Establishing Dao Realm.

Ming Yu, holding the Array Plate, her eyes filled with curiosity, her pupils gradually turning jade white, a faint silvery-white radiance emerged and shone upon the Array Plate.

The patterns of the Formation on the Array Plate gradually appeared in her eyes, profound and complex, then suddenly, the silvery-white glow in Ming Yu's eyes seemed to freeze.

Her jade-white eyes returned to pitch-black pupils, but her mind seemed to have crashed, unable to recover for a long time, standing there blankly.

"Facing the unfamiliar, without explanation, and the complex, impossible to understand, leading to slow thinking or even a halt in thought, this is not just a lack of Spiritual Wisdom or a problem with the mind," Xu Yan mused.

Ming Yu had tried to understand the Array Plate more than once, but every time, because of the profound Formation patterns, her thoughts would stall and it would take a long time to recover.

"Maybe I should know what she really is."

Xu Yan had a guess in his mind.

Holding the Qing Ling Jade Bamboo in his hand, laying across his knees, sensing the unique Spiritual Charm of Qing Ling Jade Bamboo, his mind was clear and serene, making the organization of his Martial Arts clearer.

The Way of the Domain was evolving and enhancing, and his own Dao was becoming clearer, the Minor Achievement in Establishing Dao Realm was right in front of him.

As time passed, Ming Yu once again fell into a thought halt while exploring the patterns of the Array Plate, while Xu Yan's aura gradually strengthened, and at a certain moment, it seemed as if he had crossed a threshold.

Minor Achievement in Establishing Dao Realm.

"I've broken through, with my current strength, I am invincible among the Minor Heaven and Earth Masters, and can even contend with the weaker Masters of Heaven and Earth," Xu Yan was overjoyed. Being able to break through to Minor Achievement in Establishing Dao Realm in such a short time, he had Ming Yu to thank.

"Great Achievement in Establishing Dao Realm, then I can face the Masters of Heaven and Earth without fear, Perfection of the Way, although not as powerful as the original Taicang, won't be far behind!"

Xu Yan was thrilled, the goal he had set for himself, to stand shoulder to shoulder with Taicang, was now not far off.
