"Oh!"

Xiaoqi responded with a tone of grievance.

He really wasn’t slacking off; it’s just that the God Foot Technique is really difficult.

Even though the divine technique seed in the sea of consciousness guides him, ultimately it still depends on his own understanding.

"Alright, he’s still young after all, and some things are hard to comprehend, let alone the God Foot Technique."

Gu Pengyou spoke up in defense of Xiaoqi.

And she wasn’t wrong. After all, he is still a child, who may appear far more advanced than his peers, but his knowledge and experience are still very limited.

The fact that he can comprehend the God Foot Technique to proficiency is already commendable.

"Exactly, you’re expecting too much."

Xian Si also stood up for him, winking at Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi stuck out his tongue and made a funny face in response.

Watching the little antics between the two, Chen Xuan could only shake his head helplessly.

"Overprotective mothers spoil the child," this saying sometimes holds true.

"We’ll let it slide this time, but the goals I set for you must be achieved, no room for negotiation."

He finished by glaring at the two women.

"Got it, Dad, I’ll definitely complete them."

Xiaoqi hurriedly promised.

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction; regardless of the result, the attitude was commendable.

He then extended a finger, which emitted a faint silver glow.

"What I’m going to teach you this time is called Space Folding, a technique I comprehended myself."

Gu Pengyou was perplexed.

Because Chen Xuan had already taught this to her, and he had mentioned that only those in the Dao Realm could cultivate it.

"It’s different from last time. This time at the Extreme South Plain, I had a new insight; one step could span at least a thousand miles, though it still depends on your own strength. And you don’t need to be in the Dao Realm to cultivate it."

Chen Xuan could tell what was on her mind from her expression.

"Space Folding!"

"Whether you can comprehend it and how much you comprehend depends on yourself."

As he spoke, three strands of spiritual power emanated from his fingertip towards the three of them.

Conveying the method of space folding he had comprehended to them.

"Comprehend it well!"

The three nodded, then sat cross-legged and closed their eyes to meditate.

"How much you comprehend depends on yourselves."

Chen Xuan muttered as he watched them.

As time passed, Chen Xuan initially thought Gu Pengyou would be the first to comprehend it.

But unexpectedly, it was Xiaoqi.

At that moment, he was excited and exclaimed, "Dad, I think I get it."

"Try it!"

Chen Xuan spoke expectantly.

"Hmm!"

Xiaoqi nodded, then the spiritual power within him began to surge, and he stepped forward.

Scenes began to shift in his eyes.

The next moment, he disappeared from Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

And reappeared outside Moran City.

"Wow..."

Looking at the unfamiliar scene, Xiaoqi shouted in excitement.

"Not bad, a step spans forty or fifty miles."

Chen Xuan’s voice came from behind, watching him with satisfaction.

He didn’t expect someone of mere Immortal Grade could cover such a distance in one step, which genuinely surprised him.

Having left the Extreme South Plain, he tried with all his might, and the farthest his step reached was around three thousand miles, similar to the Extreme South Plain.

This technique didn’t compare much to the God Foot Technique; with his current strength, the God Foot Technique could cover over eight thousand miles in one step.

However, the spiritual power consumption was immense, and using it continuously dozens of times would nearly exhaust his spiritual power.

This was mainly due to the immense pressure within space tears.

"Dad, I feel like this is much easier than the God Foot Technique."

"Heh!"

Chen Xuan chuckled softly, instantly guessing Xiaoqi’s little thoughts.

He patiently explained, "The God Foot Technique is far superior because once space is suppressed, Space Folding becomes ineffective, but the God Foot Technique can directly tear through space."

"Therefore, don’t get any ideas, the God Foot Technique is something you must diligently cultivate; it is the most important for you."

"They can’t cultivate the God Foot Technique, which is why I taught them Space Folding."

"Understood?"

"Oh!"

Seeing his father’s serious expression, Xiaoqi dared not say more and replied softly.

"Alright, let’s head back!"

...

However, to Chen Xuan’s disappointment, even by nightfall, the two women had not comprehended it. Gu Pengyou was slightly better off, while Xian Si was completely at a loss and utterly relented.

Eventually, they decided to temporarily give up.

There was nothing Chen Xuan could do about it.

However, deep down, he surmised that it might involve the concept of space.

So he could only comfort the two ladies to take their time and not rush.

The next day!

Chen Xuan arrived at the Three Judicial Departments.

"Brother Xuan, is there something you need this time?"

In the main hall, Ye Jinghong asked with a smile.

"Since reaching the Dao stage, I’ve become very interested in arrays, and when it comes to arrays in Moran City, it has to be the ones on the fifth floor of the Library Pavilion. So I want to study them for a few days, Brother Ye, could you grant me this favor?"

He finished speaking and looked at him with a smile.

"Interested in arrays?"

Ye Jinghong thought to himself.

If he’s interested, why did he sneak in a few times before?

And why is he now openly asking for his permission this time?

This... was truly puzzling.

"What’s the matter? Brother Ye, are you having difficulties?"

Seeing him silent for a long time, Chen Xuan had to ask again.

"Not really... it’s just..."

He paused for a moment, "Alright, if Brother Xuan wants to study, then please do so. I’ll be returning to the Imperial City sooner or later, anyway."

"However, during my time at Molan Mansion, I ask Brother Xuan to take good care of it."

"Certainly!"

Though unspoken, they quickly reached a mutual understanding.

This was precisely what Ye Jinghong wanted.

Both were quite satisfied with the outcome.

Afterwards, Ye Jinghong dismissed the two guards of the Library Pavilion, making it more convenient for Chen Xuan.
