1385 Accomplishment
Jian Ai came back to her senses and smiled. Then, she walked forward and helped him up. âGet up.â
Ye Liushang slowly stood up and looked at Jian Ai, as if sizing up the Sect Master. His eyes were incomparably deep, but they did not make people feel oppressed.
Jian Ai didnât feel uncomfortable from Ye Liushangâs gaze. She immediately said, âIâve always heard news about you from Bai Zhou and Uncle Ji. Now, we can finally meet.â
Ye Liushang lowered his head slightly and answered in a low voice, âWhen the Sect Master appeared, it was the critical moment for me to break through. Please understand.â
âI know all this,â Jian Ai said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ai pulled Si Yue to her side and introduced him to Ye Liushang. âThis is one of the twelve guards of the ancient sect, the Shadow AsuraâSi Yuehan!â
âHello, Brother Liushang. Iâve heard a lot about you,â Si Yue pretended to be calm, but the burning light in his eyes could not hide his excitement.
From the moment he saw Ye Liushang walking over on the sea, his heart had already beat faster. It was like a fan seeing his idol.
Ye Liushangâs gaze shifted from Jian Ai to Si Yue, and he smiled. âYouâre Si Yuehan? I heard from Bai Zhou that he picked you up?â
âYes,â Si Yue admitted.
âLiushang, long time no seeâŠâ At this moment, Ji Yansong smiled and walked forward to greet Ye Liushang.
Seeing the High Priest, Ye Liushang leaned over slightly and made a respectful gesture. âGreetings, High Priest.â
Seeing this, Ji Yansong couldnât help but pat his shoulder and smile. âThereâs no need to be so polite between us.â
Speaking of which, back then, Ji Yansong suffered a backlash from cultivating the Mysterious Underworld Technique. If not for Ye Liushangâs dose of phoenix blood, Ji Yansong might not have lived until today.
Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that Ye Liushang was his savior.
âItâs been hard on you. Everyone, stop standing here. Letâs go to the island,â Jian Ai said.
Everyone nodded and walked along the path towards the courtyard at the top of the mountain.
On the way, Ji Yansong said to Ye Liushang, âYou also know the reason I asked you to come this time. The Sect Master has encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation of the power of blood. If that high-level mental cultivation technique acts up, I canât do anything. In this world, only you can help the Sect Master.â
âI will do my best to help the Sect Master complete the cultivation of the power of blood,â Ye Liushang said calmly. Although his tone was indifferent, it inexplicably made people feel at ease.
When they returned to the courtyard, Ji Yansong prepared a table of food. Everyone sat around and chatted as they ate.
âLiushang, have you already mastered the power of the phoenix?â the High Priest asked.
The so-called mastery was to cultivate oneâs abilities to the peak of perfection. There were no more hurdles that needed to be broken through. In the past thousand years, there were very few people in the ancient sect who had cultivated their abilities to mastery.
This supreme realm was not something that could be achieved just with talent and hard work.
Ye Liushang nodded slightly and said with an extremely calm expression, âI already reached it a year ago.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Ai couldnât help but gasp. Ye Liushang was only about twenty-five years old, but he had already cultivated it to perfection. What kind of person could do this?
Si Yue knew how difficult it was. His gaze on Ye Liushang became even hotter, and he couldnât hide his admiration.
âSect Master.â Ye Liushang looked at Jian Ai and asked, âWhat level is your power of blood at now?â
Jian Ai said, âAlthough Iâve already absorbed the mental cultivation techniques, Iâve only cultivated to the fifth level. If I forcefully break through again, I wonât be able to control myself.â
Ji Yansong said, âOnce the power of blood goes out of control, its power is terrifying.â
Ye Liushang smiled and said to Jian Ai, âIn just over a year, the Sect Master is already extremely talented to cultivate to the fifth level.â
âNot only that, but this power of blood is extremely compatible with the Sect Master. After breaking through the first five levels, the Sect Master cultivated them to the highest realm and could use them freely,â Ji Yansong said.
Ye Liushang nodded and thought for a moment before saying, âIt seems that this power of blood already treats the Sect Master as its host. However, it has willpower. The higher it cultivates, the stronger its willpower will be. It will also be more difficult.â
âOnce the Sect Masterâs mental strength doesnât suppress the willpower of the power of blood, the Sect Master will lose control.â
âThatâs right.â The High Priest nodded and admitted. Then, he said, âYour power of the phoenix also has the willpower of the Undying Bird. It can be said to be the same situation as the Sect Master, so Iâm relieved to have you help the Sect Master.â
âAlthough the power of the phoenix has willpower, itâs much more docile than the power of blood,â Ye Liushang said slowly. âI didnât see the evil of the power of blood with my own eyes, but itâs not difficult to guess how terrifying this power is from Bai Zhouâs words about its origin.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Liushang looked at Jian Ai and said, âBut Sect Master, donât worry. No matter how powerful this power is, itâs still controlled by someone. Itâs through people that abilities can be released.â
âAlthough itâs stirring in your body now and wants to devour your mind and occupy your body, once you complete the absolute suppression, this powerful force will submit to you and you will be able to use it!â
Jian Ai nodded. Ye Liushangâs words matched what she had thought before.
The High Priest immediately said, âIn that case, weâll prioritize the overall situation. From tomorrow onwards, youâll help the Sect Master cultivate.â
âItâs my duty!â Ye Liushang said.
Si Yue listened to everyone at the side and couldnât help but feel agitated. He wanted to say something a few times but retracted his words.
This was his personality, especially when facing Ye Liushang, whom he had admired for a long time. Although they were both of the same level as the twelve guards in the ancient sect, the difference in their strength was enough to make Si Yue respect him. This was admiration for the strong or even the strongest.
At this moment, Jian Ai spoke up for him. Jian Ai smiled and said, âLiushang, since youâre here this time, I hope you can give Si Yue some pointers. His power of darkness has cultivated to the top, but he hasnât been able to break through.â
When Ye Liushang heard this, he couldnât help but look at Si Yue and ask, âHow long has it been?â
Si Yue quickly said, âItâs been half a year.â
Ye Liushang nodded in understanding. âThereâs an insurmountable gap in cultivation towards the top. Everyone is like this. Wanting to break through is not something that can be done in a day. Countless people have stagnated at this step, and they canât even cross it even if they spend their entire lives.â
âSimilarly, if you successfully complete the breakthrough, you will rise to another realm. Your strength will also improve qualitatively. You canât compare to now.â
âBut I think youâre only seventeen or eighteen years old. Youâve already reached the top at such a young age. Youâre also very talented.â
âAs expected, when choosing an heir, the ancient sect will choose the most suitable person to inherit their abilities.â
