Chapter 73, Expectations
The Ninth Battlefield, 031 Barracks Base, inside the residence on the small island.
In the quiet room, Ye Muxuan opened his eyes, and streaks of silver ripples flowed from the depths of his eyes.
One drop of the Soul-Cleansing Dew, worth one trillion points, had an effect on him beyond his expectations on his first use. Or rather, he had never tasted anything good before, and this time he had truly experienced something special.
With his consciousness connected to the virtual universe, Ye Muxuan raised the Mu Ying Blade in his hand. The blade flashed, and a thin line swept past.
This strike combines the previous two moves, "Wind Slash" and "Time Distortion," eliminating any distinction between the laws of wind and time. It represents the highest level of his self-created secret technique!
"My self-created secret technique has made new progress. I should show it to my teacher. I can't let my teacher down. Maybe I can even get him to teach me." Ye Muxuan watched the thin line of sword light dissipate into the void. With a thought, he disappeared from the Primal Zone.
In a virtual universe, in a certain independent dimension, in the rear hall of a snow-white palace, in the garden, the corridors, pavilions, towers, rockeries, flowers and trees are arranged in a well-organized manner, with extremely rich layers of scenery.
A figure appeared out of thin air, a young man dressed in black. He looked at the beautiful woman leaning against the edge of the covered bridge and respectfully said, "Teacher."
A beautiful woman dressed in pure white feather robes turned to look at Ye Muxuan and asked, "What is it?"
For now, she is quite satisfied with this newly accepted disciple. Although he has only been a disciple for the shortest time, his level of understanding of the laws has already caught up with most of her disciples. If given another 100,000 years, he will very likely be able to pass the nineteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven. Throughout countless eons, she has only had eight disciples who could be called Kings, a fact that has already made countless Venerables envious.
The master-disciple relationship is extremely important and reliable in the universe. Throughout countless eons, many powerful beings have lost their relatives, and their closest relatives are their disciples. Currently, among the sixteen direct disciples of the White Phoenix Palace Master, there is one Venerable, eight Kings, and the remaining seven disciples, except for the newly accepted Ye Muxuan, are all Immortals. This force is extremely powerful among the many overlords of the human race.
"This disciple has just created a secret technique and would like to ask the master for guidance," Ye Muxuan said respectfully in the garden.
"It seems you have quite a bit of confidence." Palace Mistress Bai Feng looked at Ye Muxuan, and with a thought, a pavilion in the garden transformed into an endless starry sky, and she and Ye Muxuan landed in this endless starry sky. "Show me how you use it."
"Yes, teacher." Standing in the starry sky, Ye Muxuan raised his wrist, and a Muying Blade appeared in his hand. The straight and slender black blade rose up, and the blade light shone. A thin line cut through the starry sky, causing ripples in time.
Ye Muxuan sheathed his sword and looked at Palace Master Bai Feng.
"Not bad, your swordsmanship is quite impressive. You haven't relaxed in over two hundred years." Palace Master Bai Feng nodded, acknowledging Ye Muxuan's efforts, and then continued, "You've combined those two moves from before, haven't you?"
"Yes, teacher." Ye Muxuan nodded and said, "I felt that my self-created secret technique, Wind Slash, based solely on the fundamental law of wind, still had a lot of room for improvement. So I incorporated the second move of the law of time, merging the two moves into one, and then added my recent understanding of the law to create this move."
The Palace Mistress of Baifeng Palace remained silent for a moment.
"teacher?"
"From today onwards, you will cultivate here. I will set up various life forms in the universe as your opponents. Only after you kill one will the next one appear. Each one will target the weaknesses in your secret techniques." The White Phoenix Palace Master came back to her senses, looked at Ye Muxuan, and spoke in a calm voice.
"Yes, teacher," Ye Muxuan replied respectfully.
"Once you kill your 500th opponent, your secret technique will truly reach the top level." Palace Master Bai Feng looked at Ye Muxuan and said, "Based on my estimation, it should take you a thousand years to create a truly top-level secret technique, the kind that can be put into a treasure vault, instead of the crude version you had before."
"If you can kill your 1000th opponent, it means your secret technique has reached the peak level. Among your senior brothers who have been granted the title of King, only the eldest and the third eldest have reached the peak level in their self-created secret techniques. As for Little Seventeen, whom you are more familiar with, his self-created secret technique is only at the top level. It can only be said that it is relatively powerful among the top-level secret techniques."
"If one day you can kill your 2000th opponent, then your self-created secret technique will have reached the level of a master. Of course, that's still too far for you. Your master is just giving you a direction, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Under the White Phoenix Palace Master, the eldest disciple is invincible at the King level, the third disciple is at the limit of the King level, and the remaining few are at the peak of the King level, and they cannot create their own peak secret techniques. Tianyu King is the seventeenth personal disciple, and also the disciple that Ye Muxuan is most familiar with.
"Yes! This disciple will certainly work hard and live up to the teacher's expectations." Ye Muxuan's dark pupils were full of confidence.
"My expectations for you are quite high; mere ordinary immortality won't do." Palace Master Bai Feng looked at Ye Muxuan, smiled, and said, "Among your senior brothers and sisters, Little Seventeen has the best talent. He has a high chance of becoming a Venerable in the future. The eldest brother's talent is actually not as good as Little Seventeen's, much less as good as yours. It's just that he has been cultivating for too long, accumulating strength bit by bit until he has his current strength. Now he is stuck at the last step and cannot break through. I don't know where the opportunity is. Among the others, only Liya has a better chance."
Lia is the sixth disciple of the White Phoenix Palace Master, and is also a high-ranking member of the Nightmare Maiden Clan. She is currently at the peak of the King-level strength.
"As for you, I hope you can become a Venerable. If you can also become a Venerable, then there will be three Venerables under my tutelage, which will be worthy of your grandmaster's teachings." Palace Master Bai Feng looked at Ye Muxuan's face, which seemed immature compared to hers, and said, "But don't say this to your senior brothers, lest they say that I, as their teacher, am biased and look down on them."
Becoming a Venerable is extremely difficult, and taking the next step is even more incredibly challenging! She herself is currently stuck at the final step of becoming a Venerable in the Endless Era. If she could cultivate three Venerables, it would be an absolute honor for her ancestors, and it would become a legendary tale.
"So the teacher thinks so highly of me?" Ye Muxuan nodded respectfully, quickly claiming that he would keep it a secret, but inwardly he couldn't help but wonder.
And who is the grandmaster...?
……
From this day forward, Ye Muxuan will begin practicing his secret techniques in this training ground. Each opponent chosen by the Palace Master of the White Phoenix Palace is an Immortal-level being, who frequently unleashes their Immortal divine power. Moreover, each opponent targets the weaknesses in his secret techniques, often causing Ye Muxuan to fail unexpectedly.
