I Fabricated the Techniques, but My Disciple Really Mastered Them?

Teaching a humanoid doll to play chess was something that truly tested one’s patience, especially since this particular doll would crash when faced with difficulties, taking quite some time to recover.

Xu Yan, however, felt full of interest, showing no signs of impatience, and instead taught with great care.

Before the game even began, Xiao Jie had not fully learned the rules and methods of playing chess when Ming Yu returned.

By teaching Xiao Jie, Xu Yan discovered that when it came to unfamiliar and completely untouched knowledge, the Jade Puppet found it somewhat difficult to learn, frequently experiencing instances of mental lag.

However, when it came to teaching battle knowledge, Xiao Jie was quick to react, with little sign of such lagging.

“Chess?”

Ming Yu was delighted and directly took Xiao Jie’s place, asking Xu Yan to teach her chess.

Xu Yan was more than happy to comply, eager to test whether Ming Yu found it easier than Xiao Jie to learn unfamiliar knowledge.

Sure enough, although Ming Yu occasionally experienced mental lag, such instances were rare, and she recovered quickly, learning the rules and methods of chess rapidly.

“Ming Yu is considered a more advanced Jade Puppet, possessing strong potential for growth, which is why she received the attention of the Three Masters of the Jade Court, and her status was higher than other Jade Puppets.”

Xu Yan was also somewhat puzzled. What was the intention behind the Three Masters of the Jade Court sending Ming Yu to observe the Domain?

Could it be that they wanted Ming Yu to transform into a living being of the Domain?

Ming Yu enjoyed playing chess with Xu Yan. Although she had learned how to play, her skill level wasn’t something to have high expectations for.

“Xu Yan, I found the bamboo.”

During the chess game, Ming Yu spoke happily.

“I’m quite curious about this bamboo. If possible, take me to see it.”

Xu Yan perked up and felt certain that Qing Yu was indeed in the Jade Court.

That battle back then, with Taicang falling, he was very curious about how Qing Yu came to the Jade Court, and moreover, Qing Yu was the Master of Domain, the one who founded the existence of the Domain.

If it were possible to obtain Qing Yu’s Dao Principles of the Domain, it would greatly assist in the practice of the Establishing Dao Realm.

After all, the Establishing Dao Realm focused on establishing one’s own Dao, on perfecting the Way of Domain, and on strengthening one’s own Dao.

“No problem.”

Ming Yu readily agreed without blinking, continuously watching the chessboard, pondering her next move.

It was clear that Ming Yu had an intense interest in chess.

Or rather, Ming Yu had a strong interest in any new and mysterious knowledge.

“This helps enhance Ming Yu’s awareness and quickens her thinking; it’s an instinct in her subconscious,” Xu Yan mused.

Half a month after arriving at the Jade Court, Xu Yan played chess with Ming Yu every day, and Ming Yu lavished him with hospitality. For Ming Yu, sharing the foods she liked was the best way to entertain a guest.

Xu Yan “ate” various “delicacies” every day, and the Dao Principles of the Prime Tortoise Carapace became more refined and somewhat enhanced.

With this unique “food” capable of supplementing the Dao Principles, Xu Yan had gained some understanding. It served as a subsidiary to the Puppet Principle, existing to supplement and continually refine the Puppet Principle. ṜåΝꝊꞖÊS̩

Because of this, it also possessed the attribute of supplementing other Dao Principles.

That day, Ming Yu finally remembered that she hadn’t taken Xu Yan to see the bamboo yet.

“Xu Yan, let me take you to see the bamboo.”

Ming Yu said reluctantly after finishing the chess game.

“Thank you so much!”

Xu Yan hadn’t pressed the issue, waiting for Ming Yu to mention it herself, also to cultivate Ming Yu’s fondness for chess.

Leading Xu Yan through a long path within the Jade Court, passing several courtyards—each inhabited by Jade Persons of the Master of Domain level.

Xu Yan even spotted a Jade Person strong enough to rival a Netherworld Master of Domain level.

“The creator of the Jade Court, who made these Jade Puppets, was incredibly powerful, second only to my mentor, the strongest I know of. I wonder how Unchanging Divine Master compares. From the existing information, it seems the Unchanging Divine Master might not match the creator of the Jade Court.”

Xu Yan sighed inwardly.

Of course, it was hard to judge the actual strength of the Unchanging Divine Master, and if the creators of the Jade Court were the Three Masters, then their strength could be considered a level lower.

If the Three Masters of the Jade Court were Jade Puppets, then the creator’s strength was at another level entirely.

Possibly a Wayfarer!

Of course, without meeting the Three Masters of the Jade Court, all this remained speculative. However, the power of the Jade Court was undoubtedly strong, far beyond what the Great Wilderness could compare.

“Apart from my mentor, the Jade Court is unmatched by anyone in the Great Wilderness,” Xu Yan lamented, as even the Great Wilderness Heavenly Path couldn’t rival the Jade Court.

“Even after merging with the Hong Ze Domain, the Great Wilderness would be stronger, yet still unable to rival the Jade Court unless Taihe, Taikun, or Old Man Xiao broke through to the Master of Domain Realm; only then could they rival the Jade Court, and the Power of Heavenly Dao would exceed the Master of Domain level.”

The potential of the Great Wilderness was indeed vast, and the Heavenly Dao could rise to a Wayfarer level, continually growing stronger like a Wayfarer, becoming the greatest Dao beneath the Grand Dao.

But there hadn’t been enough time for such growth; given tens of thousands of years, or even a One Primordial age, the Great Wilderness would inevitably surpass the Imperishable Temple and the Jade Court.

Ming Yu kept talking about chess on the way, asking questions about the game and its strategies.

Xu Yan explained with patience, and finally arrived in front of a grand courtyard. The jade-white walls towered a hundred feet, immaculate and exuding a faint brilliance, as if the walls contained a vital force within them.
