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

Xu Yan swung his sword in a single strike, slicing through the chains binding Ao Hong’s dragon body, shattering them with ease. Ao Hong was overwhelmed with excitement, letting out a jubilant dragon roar and ascended into the air, transforming into a robust middle-aged man with a handsome appearance, adorned with a pair of small dragon horns upon his head.

“Thank you for the rescue, Ao Hong,” he exclaimed gratefully.

“It’s no big deal,” Xu Yan replied with a wave of his hand.

“Ao Hong, how did you end up trapped here?” Qing Yu asked, puzzled.

Ao Hong sighed, a touch of helplessness and melancholy in his expression.

“Back during the great battle, I was nearly severed in half, and it was Brother Taicang who sent me off the battlefield, allowing me to escape…”

...

During the great battle, Ao Hong was sent off the battlefield, having sustained severe injuries. Before the Master of Domain of the Imperishable Temple arrived to block him, he performed the True Dragon Secret Art, burning the nearly severed portion of his dragon body into an energy for fleeing, swiftly retreating into the vast and boundless Land of Imperishable.

Due to his severe injuries, a portion of his dragon body was completely severed, and the burning portion could not support his prolonged escape. Once it was exhausted, he would be in grave danger, easily hunted down and slain by the pursuers from the Imperishable Temple. At that time, Ao Hong was in despair, only able to grit his teeth and persist, fleeing as far as he could.

In the end, his destiny was not to perish. Just as he was about to be completely exhausted and enter a severely weakened state, he encountered two Domain Lord-Level True Spirits. After a fierce battle, they nearly perished together, leaving him barely alive.

Ao Hong immediately devoured the two True Spirits to replenish his energy and recover from his wounds, but he dared not linger and continued his escape. After consuming the two Domain Lord-Level True Spirits, his injuries healed, and his strength increased.

He fled while devouring True Spirits along the way, and luck was on his side as he encountered another injured and weakened Domain Lord-Level True Spirit. After another fierce battle, he exhausted the True Spirit to death. Upon devouring this True Spirit, the severed portion of his dragon body was also restored.

Ao Hong felt that his fate was not doomed and even saw hope for revenge. He prepared to cultivate in seclusion and improve his strength, planning to seek revenge against the Imperishable Temple after a breakthrough.

However, shortly after regaining his strength, he encountered Chi Ni’s son, Chi Xiao Ni, who wanted him to be a follower. The proud Ao Hong would never comply, but before a battle could commence, a person in a gray robe pursued him and deceived Chi Xiao Ni. Thus, in a joint effort, they captured and trapped Ao Hong in this place.

“Chi Xiao Ni is the son of King Chi Ni. In that battle, I could have escaped if it weren’t for Chi Xiao Ni’s use of a power from King Chi Ni to trap me; otherwise, capturing me would have been quite difficult.”

Ao Hong sighed again and continued, “If I had known Chi Xiao Ni was so powerful, so easily fooled, and with such a background, I would have catered to him from the start.”

“What is King Chi Ni’s strength like compared to the Unchanging Divine Master?” Xu Yan was curious.

The Land of Imperishable indeed held many secrets, and it hadn’t been long before another immensely powerful True Spirit emerged, and this one even possessed spiritual wisdom.

“King Chi Ni is an ancient True Spirit that has survived for countless ages. How strong he is compared to the Unchanging Divine Master, I do not know, as I have never seen it myself. However, over the years, I gathered some information from Chi Xiao Ni, the person in the gray robe, and some True Spirits.

“This is an Imperishable True Spirit with spiritual wisdom, and it is said to possess a unique Art of the True Spirit, ruling over the vast Domain of the Imperishable Land. It commands numerous Domain Lord-Level True Spirits. The Land of Imperishable is boundless, and no one knows how many Domain Lord-Level True Spirits exist within it, so one can imagine how powerful King Chi Ni’s forces must be.”

Ao Hong’s expression turned serious. “Friend Xu, you killed King Chi Ni’s son, and he will undoubtedly seek revenge on you. This matter arose because of me. I…”

Xu Yan interrupted him, saying, “I killed Chi Xiao Ni, so you don’t have to shoulder the blame. If King Chi Ni wants to seek me out, then so be it.”

“Friend Xu, you are very strong, no weaker than Brother Taicang back then, but King Chi Ni is still…” Ao Hong remained gravely serious.

“That King Chi Ni, an old True Spirit, thinks he can bully the young? If he’s going to do so, my master isn’t someone soft-hearted either.”

Xu Yan was indifferent. No matter how strong King Chi Ni was, in his master’s eyes, he was still an ant who could be easily crushed.

Ao Hong swallowed hard. Xu Yan was already so strong; how powerful must his master be? No wonder Xu Yan didn’t care about King Chi Ni’s threats.

“May I ask who your honored master is?”

“My master is the Daoist Ancestor,” Xu Yan replied solemnly.

“Daoist Ancestor?!” Ao Hong and Qing Yu both trembled inside, knowing from the name alone that he must be incredibly powerful.

“Even though Friend Xu has the protection of the Daoist Ancestor, ultimately, this matter occurred because you saved me, and I, Ao Hong, cannot stand idly by. Moreover, the threat of the Imperishable Temple still looms, and they are close to beginning their actions. I must do something as well.”

Ao Hong took a deep breath, his expression resolute.

“How is the Taicang Domain now?”

Ao Hong then asked about the Taicang Domain.

“The Taicang Domain is now history; it is the Great Wilderness Domain…” Xu Yan explained the Great Wilderness Domain.

“Whether it’s Taicang or the Great Wilderness, it remains the same Domain. Tian Zi is the most qualified to inherit it. In any case, I’ll do my utmost to help with the crisis in this Domain,” Ao Hong declared with a glinting chill in his eyes. “The enmity with the Imperishable Temple cannot be overlooked. The Unchanging Divine Master won’t let it go either. I’ve heard that aside from King Chi Ni, there are two other True Spirit Kings within the Land of Imperishable, and I wish to seek them out to resist the Imperishable Temple.

“Although I have opened a Domain, my origins are as a True Spirit, so there should be a chance for success. Friend Xu, I bid you farewell now, but I will return before the Imperishable Temple launches an attack on the Great Wilderness.”

“Alright, until we meet again!” Xu Yan nodded.

It was inconvenient for Ao Hong to follow him, as he was being hunted by Yu Ting. Since Ao Hong wanted to seek out the other two True Spirit Kings, whether he succeeded or not, he was still contributing to the Great Wilderness.

“Roar!” Ao Hong revealed his True Dragon form, a vast azure dragon coiling amidst the chaos, and spoke somberly, “The Next Era is about to begin. The Unchanging Divine Master seeks to devour or sacrifice the Domain for some purpose. The other True Spirit Kings, having lived through more than one Primordial Age, likely have some plans, and we must respond cautiously. What I fear most is that the True Spirit Kings also have designs on the Great Wilderness Domain.”

Qing Yu spoke, “Ao Hong, the Witch Demon isn’t dead either. He’s being hunted by the Imperishable Temple. If you can find him, you might be able to assist him.”

Ao Hong was taken aback and then nodded, saying, “I understand!”

“Roar!” The dragon’s roar resounded as Ao Hong vanished into the vastness of the Land of Imperishable.

“We should leave as well,” Xu Yan said as he stored away the Prime Tortoise Carapace, looking towards a certain place in the Chaos Primordial Land. Under the gaze of his Minor Heavenly Eye, he could vaguely see eight silver-white lights speeding towards them.

“Their speed is quite fast; they were able to track me down,” Xu Yan remarked with a calm expression. Yu Ting’s power was indeed remarkable, especially the mysterious Master of the Jade Court.

With a swift movement, he vanished in an instant.

The enormous, ancient palace stood with its doors tightly shut, two Domain Lord-Level True Spirits lying before it, snoring as if fast asleep.

At the core of the Divine Temple, no one could draw near, nor would anyone dare to approach. There was a protective forcefield around the core, preventing even the Master of Domain from entering.

The core of the temple was a palace resembling a giant bell placed on the ground, with a gray-black façade that seemed nondescript, as if built from some kind of stone.

Inside the bell-like palace, a figure stood silently in the center. On the palace’s floor, radiant images of mountains and rivers emerged, shifting beneath his feet. The landscapes varied, with diverse terrains and countless rivers.

Above, stars adorned the palace ceiling, with the sun and moon rising and setting.

Above were the sun, moon, and stars; below were the mountains and rivers. Standing there, it felt like being amidst the universe.

This figure quietly watched the sun, moon, and stars on the palace ceiling, murmuring after a while, “Not enough, just a little more. Is the Taicang Domain enough? It should be enough. This time, I must succeed. Taicang, oh Taicang, you truly surprise me. You’ve opened a Domain, greatly increasing my chances of escape. With the opening of this One Primordial, I will surely succeed.”
