Chapter 21: The Power of Rules, Perfect Inheritance!
It must be said that Lu Changsheng’s demonstration just now had benefited Hong Ying immensely.
Hong Ying sat cross-legged on the ground, contemplating the spear intent and the Dao of the spear that remained in the space.
Soon, she entered a state of epiphany.
Time passed like a white horse galloping past a crack in a wall.
Five days went by in a flash.
Ye Qiubai was still in his room, consolidating his insights.
Hong Ying remained in her state of epiphany.
Lu Changsheng sat on a bench, sighing gloomily, "Both of these guys are cultivating, and there’s no one left to cook for their master. Do I need to find another disciple?"
No sooner had he spoken than a surge of spear intent shot into the sky from Hong Ying’s direction!
She opened her eyes, gripped her long spear, and began to dance!
It was none other than the first form of the Reincarnation Spear Technique!
At this moment, Ye Qiubai also stepped out of his thatched cottage, holding a wooden sword.
Wisps of sword intent swirled around him inadvertently.
It was incredibly sharp!
"Junior Sister, let’s spar."
Ye Qiubai laughed heartily and shot toward Hong Ying!
Hong Ying was also looking to vent and consolidate the Reincarnation Spear Technique she had just comprehended.
She chuckled and met Ye Qiubai’s charge.
During the spar, both Hong Ying and Ye Qiubai suppressed their cultivation levels to the minimum.
The wooden sword and long spear in their hands were devoid of spiritual energy.
All that remained was the clash between spear intent and sword intent!
For a time, sword energy and spear force crisscrossed the cliffside!
The willow tree nearby, however, was completely unaffected; not even a single leaf fell, merely swaying gently with the sword energy.
Ye Qiubai stepped back slightly, his heart churning with shock.
Hong Ying’s mastery of spear intent could be said to far exceed his own.
Throughout the spar, he felt as though Hong Ying was merely taking a leisurely stroll, completely unhurried.
It could be said that Hong Ying didn't even need to use her full strength.
On the other side, although Hong Ying was relaxed, she was also surprised by Ye Qiubai’s understanding of sword intent.
After all, she had experienced nine reincarnations.
If she were at Ye Qiubai’s age, she wasn't sure she could have easily defeated him.
"Alright, stop fighting for now. Hurry up and take the Nine-Turn Guiyuan Pill," Lu Changsheng said at the right moment. "Strike while the iron is hot and continue your breakthrough."
Hearing this, Hong Ying stopped, put away her spear, sat cross-legged on the cliff, and consumed the Nine-Turn Guiyuan Pill to absorb it.
Suddenly, waves of reincarnation energy flooded Hong Ying’s body!
That energy shot straight into the clouds, as if communicating with the rules of heaven and earth.
However, this world no longer possessed the power of the rules of heaven and earth.
With the Heavenly Dao collapsed, how could there be the power of rules?
The willow tree couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret.
"What a pity. Without the power of rules, even the Nine-Turn Guiyuan Pill cannot draw out the Dao of Reincarnation, and thus, she cannot perfectly inherit the talents of her previous nine lives."
The little bird also flapped its wings and shook its small head.
Lu Changsheng was stunned upon hearing this.
The power of rules?
Since the system could grant him those Daos, did that not mean the system itself was a form of the power of rules?
As if sensing Lu Changsheng’s thoughts
【The host’s guess is correct. To a certain extent, the system inherently possesses the power of rules, and the host can use it at any time.】
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng waved his hand, and suddenly, a force that seemed capable of influencing all things in heaven and earth filled the area around the thatched cottage!
The willow tree’s branches began to sway, and it exclaimed in shock, "The power of rules? You have mastered the power of rules?"
"And it’s not the power of rules from this low-level dimension; it’s more like that of a higher dimension..."
However, for the willow tree, it was merely surprise.
After all, the willow tree had existed since the formation of the universe and the beginning of chaos.
No one knew how long it had existed.
The little bird’s eyes were also filled with shock.
Phoenix flames began to rise from its fiery red wings!
Under the influence of this power of rules, the little bird entered a state of epiphany!
Ye Qiubai, standing to the side, also paused and sat down cross-legged.
Sword intent rose from his body, turning into a stream of sword energy that circled around him.
At the same time, the Qingyun Sword was summoned!
The Dao within the sword began to echo with the sword intent on Ye Qiubai’s body!
Clearly, the power of rules summoned by Lu Changsheng had affected everyone.
On the other side, Hong Ying’s Nine-Turn Reincarnation Technique was running at full capacity, and waves of reincarnation intent spread across the sky.
However, it was like a headless fly, seemingly searching for something.
Now, with Lu Changsheng releasing the power of rules, the reincarnation intent seemed to have found its target; it actively moved toward the power of rules and began to merge with it!
Within that merger, the Dao of Reincarnation was actually born!
Once the Dao of Reincarnation emerged, Hong Ying was able to perfectly inherit the talents of her previous nine lives!
Before long, a white soul streaked across the sky like a meteor!
It "crashed" into Hong Ying’s body!
Immediately, an aura of cultivation burst forth!
Mid-stage Water Overflow Realm!
Following that, a second soul shot over and rushed into the center of Hong Ying’s brow!
Her aura surged again!
By the fourth soul, Hong Ying’s cultivation had broken through to the late-stage Water Overflow Realm!
The reincarnation intent also began to solidify at this moment!
Over the next two days, all nine souls were integrated into Hong Ying’s body!
Perfect inheritance!
Her aura gradually stabilized.
The reincarnation intent, now almost tangible, filled the space around Hong Ying!
Finally, her cultivation reached the peak of the Water Overflow Realm.
She was only one step away from reaching the Guiyuan Realm!
Hong Ying opened her eyes and bowed respectfully to Lu Changsheng.
"Thank you, Master."
Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, "I didn't really do anything."
Hong Ying insisted, "If it weren't for Master’s guidance, even with that pill, I wouldn't have been able to inherit it perfectly. If that were the case, my cultivation of the Nine-Turn Reincarnation Technique would have been meaningless!"
Lu Changsheng shrugged and said, "In that case, I have a task for you."
Hong Ying was overjoyed.
She was afraid that her master would want nothing and ask for nothing.
That made her feel like she couldn't help with anything.
She didn't like that feeling.
"Master, please, just say it!"
Lu Changsheng nodded and smiled, "Then go cook. I haven't eaten in days."
Hong Ying: "..."
Alright, Master really didn't lack anything.
He only lacked a cook!
Ye Qiubai had also finished his epiphany and couldn't help but laugh at this scene. "Junior Sister, you’ll get used to it. Master is very low-key, so he usually doesn't have much going on."
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng glared, "What do you mean 'doesn't have much going on'? Why do you make me sound like a salted fish?"
Isn't that exactly what you are?
Ye Qiubai thought to himself, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Alright, alright, Junior Sister, I’ll go help you."
Hong Ying nodded.
Suddenly, a figure appeared before Lu Changsheng.
"Changsheng, are you and your disciples busy lately?"
The person who arrived was none other than Qin Tiannan.
Lu Changsheng didn't even think about it and said, "I’m busy, but my two disciples are free."
Qin Tiannan: "..."
Ye Qiubai: "..."
Hong Ying: "..."
Good grief.
He sold them both out without even a second thought.
