Ming Xin Feng, with clouds and snow having just settled in the palace, Lu Ye circled the maidservant incessantly, marveling at her.


No matter how you look at it, this maidservant before us is just like a living person. There are almost no flaws to be found.


Lu Ye soon noticed something was wrong.


Because there was no sign of spiritual energy or divine consciousness emanating from Yun Xuechu's body!


In other words, this maid was not the one driving!


Lu Ye was a bit lost now. He could be sure that the maid in front of him was indeed a creation of the Yanshi, but... If no one commanded her, how did she move? How did she speak?


"Master, what's going on?" Lu Ye looked at Yun Xuechu.





"This is the Art of Separation," Yun Xuechu explained. "Strictly speaking, Xiadie is considered my avatar."


"Clone!" Lu Ye was startled.


Although he was only at the Yunhe Realm, a distance of 108,000 miles from the Shenhai Realm, and didn't understand things like splitting one's consciousness or creating avatars, he could still see some of the mysteries within it. He knew this must be an incredibly powerful secret technique.


"I didn't tell you these things before because I was afraid you would take on too much and not be able to digest it," Yun Xuechu began. "You must have noticed that in addition to the orthodox paths of cultivation practiced by the major sects in Jiuzhou, there are also many side paths, such as formations, alchemy, weapon refining, or even puppetry. But no matter which path you choose, they all have a close relationship with spirit runes. Even the cultivators who practice magical arts rely on spirit runes to cast spells. These can all be considered branches of spirit runes."


Lu Ye nodded.


As a Spirit Weaver, how could he possibly not notice this.


For all offshoots, the Spirit Rune Path is the foundation. If the Spirit Rune Path is powerful, then no matter what other path one cultivates, their progress will be doubled.


Like how a bamboo shoot can grow rapidly on the path.


While the two times he ascended the Hundred-Layered Pagoda certainly yielded great rewards, his inherent talent also played a crucial role. All of this is thanks to the benefits brought by the Way of Spirit Veins.


Since Lu Ye was already cultivating the Array Dao, Yun Xuechu never mentioned other side paths to him.




In fact, if it weren't for Lu Ye asking about it this time, she wasn't planning on bringing it up.




The art of the sword seems miraculous to outsiders, but if one truly wants to master it, they need to invest a huge amount of energy and wealth. For someone like Lu Ye, whose cultivation level is not high and whose main goal is to improve his cultivation, it's not advisable to get too involved.


Especially so when Lu Ye has practiced the Dao of Formations.




"How did you notice?" Yun Xuechu asked.


Back then, when she resided at Mingxin Peak, Shui Yuan visited several times but never detected anything amiss. Bear in mind that at that time, Shui Yuan had already reached the Zhenhu realm.


She didn't think Shui Yuan's eyesight would be as poor as Lu Ye's at that time.




"Master, please look at this." Lu Ye took out the damaged dragon throne from his storage space.


<<>>


After a long while, she finally showed surprise and looked up at Lu Ye: “Where did you get this?”


Although this piece of armor is broken beyond repair, she can still see the terrifying power it possessed when it was whole.

This thing, not to mention her, no one in the entire Nine States could create it!


Lü Yè briefly recounted his experience traveling to the Dragon's Ascension Realm and explained the origin of the Dragon Throne.




He asked Yun Xuechu about the weaponsmith because he wanted her to help him repair this armor.


Originally, he planned to wait until his cultivation level was higher before personally going to the Qianji Pavilion and seeking out that Sea-Reverence Realm cultivator.


Although they may not know each other, as a weaponsmith, seeing such a divine artifact would be impossible to ignore. If it could be repaired, the benefits for the person repairing it would be enormous.


If one's own master was also an outstanding weapon refiner, why would they need to ask outsiders for help?


Upon learning that the Dragon Seat had gone through such a tumultuous war, Yun Xuechu's eyes flashed with obvious sympathy.


If this artifact were intact, she would surely be able to comprehend many profound secrets from it. Even now, in its damaged state, its value is immeasurable.


This thing was simply an extremely precious gift to her!


"This object will remain here with me. I'll try my best to repair it." Yun Xue Chu spoke first. "But the person who crafted this item possessed mastery in the way of creating armor that surpasses mine. I have no absolute certainty, and even if I manage to repair it, it might not be comparable to the original power of the Yanjia."


"Understood, Master." Lu Ye nodded. "Master should go ahead and do whatever is necessary. Even if it's not perfect, it doesn't matter."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?
"

He spoke, and drew out his enormous dragon-spine sword, brandishing it in the hall.

"


"This is a set."


Even though the Lung Ridge Blade was damaged, its luster dimmed and its surface was mottled, Yun Xuechu could still sense the terrifying ferocity hidden within it.


Upon suddenly obtaining such a divine artifact, Yun Xuechu couldn't help but wish to immediately retreat and comprehend its mysteries. Lu Ye saw this and wouldn't disturb his master. He respectfully bid farewell.

Though this library houses many books, Lu Ye has already read nearly half of them. It is believed that it will not be long before he finishes reading all the books here.


Once again, it was Xia Die who saw him off. This time, she dared not be disrespectful at all.


No matter if she's some kind of clone, she's still her master.




Your respectful farewell.


With the sudden appearance of two more masters, Lu Ye's mood was inexplicably complicated.

Having left the Mingxin Peak, he did not return to Zhengfeng Peak, but went straight to Cuizhu Peak.

The

碧血宗

now has very few disciples. On the 翠竹锋, there is only Lu Ye, a solitary soul. Moreover, his cultivation level is still low, so he naturally wouldn't do anything like accepting apprentices and spreading the teachings. His own path has just started to take shape; how could he be qualified to teach others?

Several days remained until the second round of the Yunhe Hegemony competition. Lu Ye practiced his cultivation while taking medicinal pills, and at the same time, he immersed himself in meditation, seeing the dragon's essence.


Time flies.




Realizing it was almost time, Lu Ye stood up and hurried toward Shou Zhengfeng.


The Heaven's Mechanism Pillar of the Bixue Sect is on Zhengfeng's side. Participating in the Yunhe Hegemony requires using the Heaven's Mechanism Pillar, so he has to go to the Heaven's Mechanism Hall.


Before he even moved, he saw a streak of light flashing out from the Mingxin Peak, heading straight for Shouzheng Peak.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?
"Master?"




Lu Ye was astonished. The figure that flew out from the tip of his Mingxin Sword was none other than Yun Xue Chu.


The other party also saw him, but only gave him a slight nod before leaving with an astonishing aura.


The Headmaster clearly noticed something amiss. He immediately stepped out to greet him, just in time to see Yun Xue fall from the sky.


Seeing the ill intent of the visitor, the Headmaster asked in astonishment, "What's the matter?"


<<>>


This grasp, it seems, could encompass even heaven and earth within one's heart.




The headmaster's spiritual energy and blood Qi erupted simultaneously, an invisible wave swept through the air, shattering the grasping hand of spiritual power with a resounding boom.


The Sect Leader was stunned for a moment, his expression embarrassed: "I didn't mean to..."


Speaking of which, anyone facing such a scene would instinctively want to resist, let alone him who wasn't even trying to fight back.


< Yun Xue Chu's expression was completely different from when facing Lu Ye, devoid of the warmth she usually showed. Instead, she emanated a chilling coldness as she once again reached out and grabbed towards the headmaster.

>


A sigh of weariness escaped the woman. The Sect Master, for once, didn't resist. He saw that this woman wasn't here to fight, but rather had something she wanted from him.


"It's just..."


<<>>


What does this even mean?!




What is this woman trying to do?


A look of sorrow filled his face, but he dared not speak much, nor resist. With a mighty grasp, the spiritual energy captured him and swiftly carried him away, plunging into the blade of the Ming Xin Feng.




Lu Ye slowly arrived at Shou Zhengfeng and immediately heard Yiyi's panicked cries to Shui Yuan: "Second Senior Sister, something's wrong! The Sect Leader has been captured!"


Shui Yuan let out a deep sigh: "Don't mind it, go busy yourself."


Oh no! The master is gone.




Fortunately, there aren't many people here now, otherwise, this old man would lose all face.




Yiyi looked at Lu Ye with some worry. Lu Ye comforted her, "It's okay."


<>




After placing Yiyi back inside the amber, Lu Ye put the amber into his spirit beast bag before finally arriving at the Heavenly Machine Pillar.


Master Yu hasn't given any news yet, the promotion of Pianshan Sword clearly isn't finished.




This was within Lu Ye's expectations.


He was not much affected by it.

Tracing one's battle scars, beneath the column for wins in the Cloud River Hegemony contest, a new piece of information has appeared.

Ranking: Top 3,000.




The initial seven days of the Yunhe Hegemony competition have concluded, and from countless Yunhe realm cultivators, the top three thousand strongest have been selected to continue the next round of battles.


This extra information undoubtedly means that Lu Ye has obtained the qualification to enter the next round. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!


I believe Fourth Senior Brother and the others should also be qualified.


Even Hua Ci, Lu Ye was not worried. This woman might appear to be a healer on the surface, but she used poison techniques so silently that no one knew. Moreover, her cultivation level was not low now. Even if those Ninth Layer cultivators encountered her, unless they could quickly win, once she found an opportunity, it's possible they wouldn't even know how they lost.

3,000 people have already been shortlisted, and the second round of competition is about to begin.

After some thought, Lü Ye took out a mask from his storage space and put it on.


Before this, there have been many times when people recognized his identity. Fearing his reputation, they would proactively concede defeat.


Of the three thousand people who have been screened, each one must be exceptionally skilled. They will not be as uneven in ability as before.


It can be said that these people will definitely give their all in battle, just to strive for a higher ranking.


They are the most outstanding group of people in Yunhe Realm of this generation.


Lu Ye also wanted to try their methods, concealing her face would also relieve some of the pressure on certain people.
