Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 727 - 260: Immortal Gate Level 2! Smiling Like a Flower! (Seeking subscriptions from kind brothers and sisters)_2
As for the battle, there's really nothing worth reviewing; it's like steel meeting flesh, a sense of futility beyond words, so such a battle wouldn't occur if there was a choice. Unfortunately, this time the Grand Elder encountered Yuchi.
Of course, when Yuchi said he'd let him go, whether it was true or false, only Yuchi himself knew. After all, he had just retrieved the Immortal Rope, so if the Grand Elder turned and left, maybe Yuchi wouldn't have pursued him. But he initiated an attack, leading to being casually wiped out by a Spiritual Energy Burst.
"However, the Spiritual Energy Burst itself has merit. After all, it can't be avoided; it can only be resisted. If you can't withstand it, it's a dead end."
Spiritual Qi is like water vapor in the air; some Secret Techniques can turn the vapor into liquid water, then jet it out or further turn the liquid water into Ice Cones to kill. But these can be dodged if the opponent's Body Technique is strong enough.
But vapor is different; it's around constantly, there's no way to dodge it, and can only be resisted directly. Thus, if the vapor's temperature is high enough, meaning the Spiritual Qi is powerful enough, it has the terrifying destructive power of high-temperature steam.
"This is one of the only two techniques I know; the attack is Spiritual Energy Burst, the defense is Protective Spirit Body..."
Yuchi looked at his palm, pursing his lips, "No need to learn other techniques; this is enough. Otherwise, if I learn other techniques, I won't have time to wander around."
The matter of Master Xuanhong can be discussed later; it's not necessary to keep it in mind.
When the timing is right, all will fall into place naturally.
For now, Yuchi thought he should return to the Ascension Gate to advance the sect's level, to see how the second stage of the sect is. Damn, that's a million Dao points improvement! Hopefully, it's not too disappointing!
...
This year, the snowfall came early at the Ascension Gate; it's just about December, yet it's already snowing there. Is it true then, the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature? Yuchi thought with some amusement.
However, the snow at the Ascension Gate isn't heavy. The snowflakes are about the size of a small nail, very dry, forming a light layer over the Martial Arts Arena, as if a playful child had spilled flour across the ground.
Standing in the Martial Arts Arena, breathing in the cold air, Yuchi watched as his gaze withdrew from the desolate snow-fall mountains, noticing two disciples cleaning the arena. It was Jiang Eryue and Jiang Sanqiu, these sisters were very proactive, now using bamboo brooms to slowly sweep away the fallen snow. But... but sisters, sweeping snow while it's still falling, when will it ever end?
Yuchi smiled; these two girls had been at the Ascension Gate for a while. There hadn't been much interaction during this time, mainly to give them space after experiencing life-threatening situations, allowing them to regain composure. Now, as they swept the snow, there were visible smiles and softly spoken conversations between them.
"Long time no see." Yuchi came over and greeted them proactively.
The two girls were startled, gripping their brooms and looking up to see their Sect Leader Senior Brother. They could hardly believe it, because their Senior Brother was speaking in the standard fourth state dialect, having indeed learned it from Qingzhu. How impressive! They quickly gripped their brooms and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Sect Leader Senior Brother!"
"Hello," Yuchi smiled, gesturing to the falling snow overhead. "Shall we find a place to talk?"
"Yes!"
They quickly responded, following behind Yuchi, feeling extremely anxious inside. Their knowledge of Yuchi was limited to hearsay from their senior sisters, and in Shen Qinghan's accounts, Yuchi was described as an invincible existence, leaving these little girls astonished!
On one hand, they were from South City, where cultivation was merely a distant dream. But coming to the Ascension Gate, through others' words, they realized their dream wasn't unattainable; it was merely hindered by those with ulterior motives. They could cultivate without anyone's consent!
On the other hand, they were especially fearful now; having seen the light, they could never comfortably adapt to darkness again. So if Yuchi were to send them back to South City, it would be more crushing than death, truly, unless there's definitive possibility, don't show us hope, for fear hope turns to despair!
Previously, staying at the Ascension Gate for a long period, even with promises from senior sisters that they wouldn't be sent away and would be disciples of the Ascension Gate, without Yuchi's confirmation, they were genuinely afraid. Though the senior sisters had high standing within the sect, with luxurious rooms and receiving elixirs from Yuchi's hands.
