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

Tian Shiqi smiled and nodded, “Naturally, this mission is of great importance. Why don’t we switch tasks? I’ll head to the Qinghua state, and you can go to welcome the descent of the Heavenly Envoy into the Divine Realm?”

Upon hearing this, the four Heavenly Slaughter Mask wearers hastily shook their heads, “That won’t do. Since the Sovereign has assigned this task to you, if we were to take over, it might displease the Sovereign. We four brothers will go to the Qinghua state and capture Xu Yan.”

Tian Shiqi’s eyes flashed with a hint of regret, but he then spoke solemnly, “You’re right. A task assigned by the Sovereign should not be handed to someone else.”

“Yes, definitely!” The four Heavenly Slaughter Mask wearers continuously nodded.

“In that case, I wish you four brothers well. When you ascend to the Supreme Sovereign in the future, do not forget about me, Tian Shiqi.”

Tian Shiqi’s tone became respectful.

“Where, where! Between us, there’s no need for such formality!”

The four of them wore a look of delight.

“The Sovereign’s task is urgent; we shall part ways for now.”

“Good!” The four Heavenly Slaughter Mask wearers, faces flush with excitement, instantly disappeared towards the Qinghua state.

Tian Shiqi tightened his smile, silently watching as the four figures departed.

“Hopefully, you can make it back alive.”

Capturing Xu Yan and obtaining the Subduing Dragon Technique appeared to be a generously rewarding task, but survival was a prerequisite.

There had been no news from Qinghua state, and it seemed the members of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow had all but vanished.

Furthermore, there could have been treason.

“With Xu Yan being such a monstrous being, wouldn’t the person backing him be formidable? If you four fail, it is only reasonable that I did not intervene. After all, gathering intelligence and steadying the overall situation are key. The Sovereign will only commend me for improvising and knowing what is urgent, hence assigning more important tasks to me.

“If you four were to miraculously succeed, do not blame me for being ruthless. Such high accomplishments are not yours to claim.”

Tian Shiqi revealed a sly grin.

Qinghua state was too perilous; he had to secure his footing.

He had always refrained from acting personally out of caution. Tian Shiqi was clear about his role; he was a planner from behind the scenes, an executor, not one to charge into the fray, and certainly not a risk-taker.

The four Heavenly Slaughter Mask wearers, headed straight for Qinghua state.

“Even if there is a more powerful individual behind Xu Yan, they are merely at the Divine Venerate Realm. If a Supreme Sovereign were in the Divine Realm, wouldn’t the Sovereign be aware of it?

“Our brotherhood, joining forces, should be sufficient to slay the opponent, but still, caution is necessary.” The eldest among them said solemnly.

“We possess Divine Artifacts bestowed by the Sovereign, capable of slaying ordinary Divine Venerates. United, even the top-tier Divine Venerates can be slain. Capturing Xu Yan will be as easy as turning over our hands!”

“Exactly!” The four were full of confidence.

The Qinghua state, seeming like a place out of this world, was calm and tranquil amidst the upheaval of the outer Domain, showing no signs of quake nor the chaos seen in other parts of the Divine Realm—a scene of peace and prosperity, with the Domain Spirit Spark being extremely active.

“Is this the Qinghua state?” Zhou Qingshuang stepped into the Qinghua state, utterly stunned.

Zi Yun was also slightly surprised; the Qinghua state had changed so much!

“Yes, this is the Qinghua state!” Zi Yun smiled and nodded.

“Princess, there’s something off about the Qinghua state!” The old woman following Zhou Qingshuang said with a grim expression.

The Domain Spirit Spark was too active, seemingly breaking the upper limit of the Immortal Realm.

“Let’s go, let’s find Sister Lingxiu; she can cure you!” Zi Yun said with a smile.

Returning to Qinghua state and about to meet her senior and Su Lingxiu, Zi Yun was overjoyed.

She decided, she wouldn’t leave again. No place was better than being with Su Lingxiu.

“Meng Chong is also about to return!” Thinking of this, Zi Yun’s smile brightened even more.

Changes were sweeping across the Domain, and the Divine Realm trembled. The journey from the Da Yan Realm for Zi Yun and Zhou Qingshuang had been fraught with difficulties.

Fortunately, Zhou Qingshuang and the old woman, being Immortal Heavenly Venerables, managed to cope.

Although Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Jiang Buping made slaying Immortal Heavenly Venerables seem as easy as squashing grasshoppers, the Immortal Heavenly Venerables were still among the pinnacle existences of the Divine Realm.

Zhou Qingshuang’s strength was also incredibly formidable among the Immortal Heavenly Venerables, not to mention her status as the princess of Da Yan, sufficient to deter many strong opponents.

“Zi Yun is back.” Before Zi Yun’s return, she had already sent a message to her.

“She’s brought along a patient too.” Su Lingxiu’s face lit up with anticipation; she was interested in tackling rare and varied diseases.

“Lingxiu, Yue’er!” Zi Yun’s figure swiftly approached.

“Zi Yun, sister!”

Yue’er’s face was filled with joy, “Sister Zi Yun, you’ve fallen behind in strength!”

Zi Yun sighed, saying, “It can’t be helped. After all, Da Yan is not the Evergreen Pavilion.”

Then, Zi Yun introduced Zhou Qingshuang, “This is the Princess of Da Yan!”

“This is the Alchemical Medical Fairy, Su Lingxiu!”

At this moment, Zhou Qingshuang and her servant were greatly shocked.

Although Su Lingxiu had an amiable aura, graceful and serene with an ethereal air, her strength was shockingly formidable.

“No wonder she is Meng Chong’s junior sister. With her strength, killing an Immortal Heavenly Venerable is really like slaughtering a chicken!”

Zhou Qingshuang was full of admiration.

“Qingshuang has seen the Alchemical Medical Fairy!”

Zhou Qingshuang didn’t dare to put on the airs of the Princess of Da Yan and respectfully said.

“There’s no need for formalities. Your situation has already been conveyed to me by Second Senior Brother. Since you’re here, without delay, let me give you a check-up!” Su Lingxiu said excitedly, eager to start.

“Good!”

Zhou Qingshuang nodded.

Having come this far, if Su Lingxiu had any malicious intentions, she was too powerless to resist with her strength.

Su Lingxiu and Yue’er examined Zhou Qingshuang, addressing her medical needs.

Zi Yun then went to the backyard.

“Zi Yun pays respects to the senior!”

She respectfully knelt and saluted.

Li Xuan revealed a smile, nodding his head and said, “No need for such formalities!”

“Thank you, senior!” Zi Yun, after offering her respects, stood up.

“Senior, is there really no future for the Taicang Martial Arts?” Zi Yun hesitated and asked the question she couldn’t help but voice out.

Li Xuan’s smile remained unchanged, and he said, “The pinnacle of Taicang Martial Arts is Taicang himself, but it doesn’t mean that one cannot advance further; it’s just that Taicang has perished and couldn’t take it any further.

“The strength of Taicang is still there. For you, it’s still too far away. Don’t aim too high too quickly; just focus on your cultivation.

“To explore the path ahead, the prerequisite is that you must have reached the heights of Taicang!”

“I understand!” Zi Yun replied respectfully.

“Good, continue your training.”

Li Xuan nodded.

With a slight motion of his finger, he enhanced the Jade Talisman on Zi Yun’s body.

As Zi Yun returned, the Alchemical Medical Institute became much livelier. Zhou Qingshuang and her servant were deeply impressed by the Alchemical Medical techniques after experiencing them.

The ailments of Zhou Qingshuang’s Divine Soul were cured.

Though cured, the long-term effects meant that Zhou Qingshuang remained cold and distant.

Although her ailments were cured, Zhou Qingshuang did not return to the Da Yan Realm. Instead, she settled next to the Alchemical Medical Institute and spent lavishly on Pill purchases and other treasures to build good relations with Su Lingxiu and others.

Moreover, she sent her old maid back to the Da Yan Realm to bring more Divine Medicines and treasures.

Feng Yan was taken aback, thinking how generous and resolute this woman was, clearing her path with wealth to forge good relations with people like Su Lingxiu.

Even he received a valuable treasure from Zhou Qingshuang!

“Who would have thought I’d meet someone who, just like me, knows how to seize opportunities!”

Feng Yan mused to himself.

However, no matter how earnest Zhou Qingshuang was, she was destined not to fully integrate the way he had.

After all, he was running errands and working hard for Fang Hao and Su Lingxiu when they weren’t strong, and it was this pristine effort that secured him this great opportunity.

Xu Yan and his group had already entered the Nine Mountain Realm.

At Dahai Mountain, Xu Yan and an old acquaintance, Wan Tianlin, had a small reunion.

“Brother Xu, your name resonates through the Divine Realm!” Wan Tianlin exclaimed with admiration.

He was just half a step away from the Immortal Realm and was confident he could break through in half a year.

However, what did breaking through the Immortal Realm mean?

Xu Yan had slain countless top fighters of the Immortal Realm and even subjugated a True Dragon.

“That’s because the Immortal Heavenly Venerable was too weak, creating such an empty reputation. It’s not worth mentioning!” Xu Yan dismissed with a wave of his hand.

Wan Tianlin, for a moment, didn’t know how to respond.
