Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 523 - 19: Immortal Venerate Blast Kills Lord Master

Chapter 523: Chapter 19: Immortal Venerate Blast Kills Lord Master

Seeing Teacher Mei was still a bit difficult.

In his previous life, due to the Demonic Sect Enchantress’s indiscriminate killing, Lu Country was extremely wary of the otherworldly visitor, Mei Yingxue, let alone allowing her to participate in theoretical research.

Now that the Demonic Sect Enchantress had been subdued and had no bad track record, Teacher Mei was not as closely guarded as she had been in the previous life, so after several layers of approvals, Yan Yu finally got the chance to visit Teacher Mei.

“Thunder Method does not fall within the Five Elements,” Mei Yingxue replied after listening to Yan Yu’s inquiry, “Heavenly Gang belongs to fire, indicating the Thunder Gate. River Leader belongs to water, whose opposing element is the Rain Sash, also known as the Earth Sash. To summon lightning from the earth, one must act in accordance with the opposing force of Heavenly Gang.”

Yan Yu pondered for a moment, then asked, “Heavenly Gang, Earth Sash, does it mean extreme yang and extreme yin? Is there an electric potential difference between the two levels, which is why there’s an electric current?”

“Yin and yang clash, hence the change in thunder and lightning,” Mei Yingxue replied.

Yan Yu seemed to understand.

The layers of yin and yang are above the Five Elements; therefore, yin and yang do not belong to the Five Elements—you can’t say that “Taiyin” or “Taiyang” belong to any specific element within the Five Elements. However, conversely, within the Five Elements, there is a division of yin and yang, for example, Yimu and Jiamu belong to yin and yang respectively.

Since Thunder Method is a result of the clash between yin and yang, it too holds the same hierarchical status, implying that it does not belong to any of the Five Elements.

“I am currently planning Xie Ruoxi’s path,” Yan Yu candidly sought advice from Teacher Mei, “Her specialty is the Thunder Method, but since Thunder Method does not fall within the Five Elements, what should we do?”

“Magic Cultivators gather the Essence of the Acquired Five Elements, the Elite of the Innate Five Elements, and then combine them into the Five Elements Elite. Using the body as the cauldron, they absorb and refine them, which can increase the power of Taoism Method and reduce the consumption of qi,” Mei Yingxue pondered for a while before answering, “If one mainly cultivates Thunder Method, what does it have to do with the Five Elements Taoism Method? To aspire to ascend to heaven yet take a divergent path is not appropriate.”

Yan Yu sighed deeply.

What Teacher Mei meant was, the Five Elements Elite and Tao Transformation Body were designed for those who play with the Five Elements Taoism Method. Now that you’re playing with Thunder Method, which has nothing to do with the Five Elements at all, is there a need to get involved with that?

“Isn’t there something similar to a Thunder Transformation Body?” Although he had already understood the reasoning, Yan Yu still held on to some hope and continued to inquire.

“There’s no need for such a thing,” Mei Yingxue replied, “Thunder Clap slaughters Heavenly Demons, eradicates epidemics, and captures malignant spirits that are difficult to cure. It is already exceedingly powerful, why need amplification? The threshold for cultivating Thunder Method is extremely high; those who can manage the power of thunder are all exceptionally talented and dazzling individuals, so why reduce consumption?”

For a Tao Transformation Body of Five Elements, the greatest effect is to increase the power of the Taoism Method and to reduce the consumption of True Yuan. The Thunder Method is so powerful, and those who practice it are plentiful in True Yuan, there’s really no need to seek to increase power or reduce consumption; hence, there’s no motivation to research something like a “Thunder Transformation Body.”

Unable to respond, Yan Yu could only take his leave.

“Wait a moment,” Mei Yingxue called to him to stay, “How are things recently with your team?”

Yan Yu: ?????

“Quite good,” he asked curiously, “Why do you ask?”

Mei Yingxue was silent for a moment, then said, “Rare is true affection in the world, do not let it go to waste.”

Yan Yu pondered for a while, then tentatively asked, “Are you referring to… Zhao Yuanzhen?”

Mei Yingxue slightly furrowed her brow, counter-questioning him, “Has she developed true feelings for you?”

“I’m not sure,” Yan Yu shook his head.

He could not figure out whether the Enchantress’s current feelings for him were still predominantly possessive, or whether she had developed some real affection, but it was very likely given the Enchantress’s nature, these two were not distinctly separate.

“Mhm,” Mei Yingxue nodded.

Actually, she wanted to say, “Those true affections from the girls in your team, you must never take them for granted,” but since Yan Yu understood it as Zhao Yuanzhen, and she felt that the Demonic Sect Enchantress indeed required more caution than others, she advised, “The people of the Demonic Sect tend to have extremely clear-cut love and hatred and are extremely selfish. If she truly loves you, you must never take her for granted, but also cannot be overly considerate or cater to her every want; otherwise, she will take you for weak and bully you, thereby leading to contempt and diminishing true affection.”

“I understand that,” Yan Yu laughed, “Ever since I met the Demonic Sect Enchantress, I’ve tricked her, intimidated her, deceived her, played her, always maintaining the dominant position in our relationship, and I absolutely won’t let anything like that happen.”

No one understands Zhao Yuanzhen better than I do, no one!

“That’s fine then.” Mei Yingxue nodded to the guard beside her, signaling him to escort Yan Yu out.

Yan Yu returned to the Wuyi Mountains Secret Realm with his sword control and from afar, he saw the girls huddled together, cheering and chattering about something “It’s born, it’s born!”

What the hell! What monstrosity have you lot given birth to!

Before he could walk over and scold them, Xie Ruoxi, who was surrounded by the crowd, caught sight of the captain and hurried over, saying:

“Captain! I’ve reached the Hua Fu Stage! I am the first cultivator in the whole country to reach the Hua Fu Stage!”

“That was fast!” Yan Yu was also startled, thinking, what kind of cultivation speed is this? Are you some kind of skyrocketing monkey?

Strictly speaking, Zhao Yuanzhen and Mei Yingxue reached the Hua Fu Stage even earlier—they were already at that stage when they arrived through the portal.

But that couldn’t be said, so Xie Ruoxi remained the “first cultivator in the entire Lu Country to enter the Hua Fu Stage,” perhaps even the first in the world, if the term Hua Fu Stage existed abroad.

“The headmaster just mentioned it.” Chen Lingyun came over and said, “He plans to make a big deal out of it for publicity, to bolster national pride and confidence.”

“Then let’s do it.” Yan Yu didn’t have any particular feelings about this. After all, in his previous life, Lord Master was always given a major publicity boost with each advancement in his cultivation—sending a message to the surrounding powers that our cultivators from Lu Country had already leveled up, so better not mess with us.

Speaking of Lord Master…

Yan Yu immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Liu Longtao.

[Win Over with Virtue]: Are you there?

[Liu Shao]: Cultivating.

[Win Over with Virtue]: Still cultivating? Our Ruoxi has already entered the Hua Fu Stage.

[Liu Shao]: ???

[Liu Shao]: Wait a minute.

[Liu Shao]: How long has it been since the spiritual energy concentration cap was raised? It can’t be that quick, can it?

[Win Over with Virtue]: Haha, I just wanted to see your flustered reaction. Don’t you know Ruoxi’s cultivation talent?

[Liu Shao]: I know she is gifted, but is she that exceptional? I don’t believe it.

[Win Over with Virtue]: The publicity is about to start; you’ll have to believe it.

[Liu Shao]: Damn it, Old Yan, with that smirk of yours, I’m telling you, even if she is the first Hua Fu Stage cultivator in the country, I, this young master, will at least grasp the second spot. Do you dare to compete with me?

Yan Yu just smiled faintly, not at all provoked by Liu Longtao’s challenging tone, but continued to type.

[Win Over with Virtue]: From now on, you’ll be known as Second Master. Second Master Liu!

[Liu Shao]: If I weren’t tied up in this secret realm right now, I’d come over and slap you! Look at that arrogant air of yours, Old Yan, tone it down!

[Win Over with Virtue]: I told Ruoxi, during her upcoming interviews, to give a sharp critique of you in front of the national media.

[Liu Shao]: Why don’t you come to Pingjing and I’ll treat you to the most authentic Lu Zhu Huo Shao? We have such a strong friendship, there’s no need for conflict over such a matter, let’s skip the harsh critique.

“What are you doing?” Chen Lingyun saw him playing with his phone and asked via sound transmission.

“I am helping Ruoxi with her publicity,” Yan Yu replied.

“Are you making fun of Lord Master?” Chen Lingyun was quick to catch on.

“I am focusing on publicity,” Yan Yu replied earnestly.

Chen Lingyun smiled faintly and also started to send messages on her phone.

Just as Yan Yu was about to continue consoling Lord Master, he suddenly received a message from Tang Xiaolian.

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Captain Yan, do you know where to collect the Essence of the Acquired Five Elements for the Fire Line?
