Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 142

"The Holy Teacher must be joking. I am just an ordinary student. If I needed this cultivation method, I would naturally work hard to obtain it."

Yan Chutian said with a faint smile, not revealing the slightest bit of information in his words. Seeing that Yan Chutian did not reply, Master Yin-yang would naturally not ask again. He asked some more details about the Soul Control Technique before frowning and saying, "As you said, this Soul Control Technique is very difficult to use. How can I find an opportunity to use it?"

"That is a matter that the Sacred Teacher needs to consider. No matter what, I am just a Spirit Transformation little disciple. I can't find an opportunity to hold back the great Yin-yang Master."

Yan Chutian said without hesitation, causing Master Yin-yang's expression to become even more grim. However, he also understood that an opportunity like this could not be found by relying on a single disciple alone. Even if he found it, he would not feel comfortable.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, he said in a low voice, "I understand. If I find an opportunity, this Sacred Teacher will tell you."

Hearing this, Yan Chutian lightly nodded, then retreated from the depths of the hall and the entire Peak Sacred Master. Looking at his figure that left, Master Yin-yang's eyes felt cold. Before, he had thought that between the two of them, Luo Xue was more prominent.

However, he gradually understood that Luo Xue was indeed extraordinary, but this Yan Chu was an actual monster. He even had an unreasonable guess in his heart. Could this Yan Chu be possessed by an old monster who had been cultivating for a thousand years? Otherwise, why would he act so strangely and not seem like an ordinary disciple at all?

However, after thinking about it carefully, he rejected this guess. Not to mention he did not feel any signs of ownership from the other party. Since Yan Chutian was brought back by Han Chen, it was difficult for him to doubt him.

Han Chen had always been loyal to the Southern Region. It was impossible for him to bring back a scourge that could explode at any moment.

After staring for a long time until Yan Chutian completely disappeared from his sight, he finally withdrew his gaze. He could only think like this. Perhaps Yan Chutian had coincidentally obtained a powerful inheritance from somewhere unknown, which was why he acted so mysteriously.

After that, Master Yin-yang took another look because Luo Xue had also passed the third exam. He climbed to the top of the Sacred Master Mountain and headed towards the palace. However, no matter how he looked, he was destined to be much inferior to Yan Chutian.

After all, what Yan Chutian mentioned was a dead end that had plagued him for countless years, a dead end that he had been looking for a solution to.

…

Although the short game with Master Yin-yang was thrilling, in the end, he made the right bet. Thus, Yan Chutian could not help but smile silently. He finally took a step to settle the relationship between Mu Wan and Qiu Yu.

As long as he gathered the entire cultivation technique and studied it, he might be able to find a way to separate the consciousness of the two. At that moment, Mu Wan was no longer as miserable as he was now, and Qiu Yu was also able to come back to life. Everyone will be happy.

When Yan Chutian returned to the cave at sunset, he did not expect that Mu Wan would be quietly waiting for him in front of the cave. Looking at his figure, his refined body also stood up. With a burst of fragrances, he took a few steps forward and handed the exquisite jade bottle to her.

"This is what Han Chen asked me to tell you. He said you'd understand."

Since it was given by Han Chen, Yan Chutian did not even need to think to know that this was an item on the list he made last night. He couldn't help but be surprised. He did not expect Han Chen to be prepared so quickly.

However, thinking about it, it was understandable. Perhaps his recent appearance had made him appreciate it greatly, right? Even if he could not compare to Qiu Yu, he was already very close.

After receiving the jade bottle, Yan Chutian did not care about Mu Wan's whereabouts, and immediately took out the items inside. His gaze swept over, and a rich joy gradually surfaced on his face. He then said, "Wan'er, I will be cultivating the closed door for a period of time. If that Han Chen sends anything again, help me accept it, and give it to me when I come out of seclusion."

Mu Wan was smart, and after thinking for a moment, she thought of the reason, and said, "I understand, but breaking through to the Elixir Realm is not an easy thing, you should pay more attention."

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Yan Chutian, who was staring at Mu Wan, suddenly realized that he had subconsciously stepped into the Elixir Realm.

"Wan'er, your cultivation speed really …"

Yan Chutian felt helpless in his heart. It seemed that he had endless opportunities during this period of time, and his improvement was excellent, but compared to Mu Wan, it was nothing, and he was still left behind.

Hearing this, Yan Chutian sighed in his heart. Mu Wan was indeed very different from Qiu Yu. One should know that Qiu Yu was someone who would not feel comfortable if he did not look for trouble, and would definitely not say something like cultivating quietly.

And it was also because of this that Yan Chutian was increasingly determined to separate the two of them as quickly as possible.

Then, from that night on, Yan Chutian began a long seclusion. The so-called long seclusion was not just for show, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

And after a long time had passed, the Yan Chutian cave was still quiet, but it seemed like there was a huge aura constantly appearing, waiting for a moment to suddenly erupt, and it would definitely be quite shocking.

After a long time, the competition of the top Holy Son will soon arrive. And because of this competition, the atmosphere of the entire Tianji Sect seemed to become tense once again.

Because everyone knew that the competition between the top Holy Sons of the Northern and Southern regions would be the ultimate rivalry between the top Holy Sons of both sides.

Being boldly called Tianji, the importance of Tianji was self-evident. Tianji determined too many things. Simply put, if the Southern Region won, then the chance to rise had arrived; and if the Northern Region won, it meant that the Southern Region would be suppressed even more severely, and if this continued, it would, it might not be possible for them to get back up.

In the depths of the cave, as the spiritual energy persisted, the eyes of Yan Chutian, who had not opened for a long time, slowly opened. Up until now, his cultivation had yet to break through, but this did not mean that he had not done anything for a long time, but he had prepared himself to the extreme!

Yan Chutian knew that he would soon face a top disciple like Xu Kong, so even if he broke through to the Elixir Realm, he might not be able to reach them in a short period of time. Even if he could reach them, it would be extremely difficult.

Thus, he had to be fully prepared, at least to make preparations that would allow him to become one of the top Holy Sons.

"Don't let me down ..."

Looking at the preparations around him, Yan Chutian whispered softly, and light surged in the depths of his eyes.

At the same time, in another cave, Mu Wan gently opened her eyes, as if she sensed something, and looked towards the Yan Chutian cave.

"Will it finally begin ...?"

Mu Wan also muttered softly. With his understanding of Yan Chutian, he knew that he had not broken through until now because he was preparing something. However, even he could not understand what kind of preparations Yan Chutian had made?

The explosion! The explosion!

The originally calm aura suddenly became ferocious. Looking at the huge swirl of spiritual energy, Mu Wan understood that Yan Chutian was about to break through. And it seemed that due to the long preparation, Yan Chutian's breakthrough was smooth, and he had smoothly broken through to the Elixir Realm. But if that's the case, it doesn't take long to prepare.

But soon, Mu Wan knew the reason. Immediately after the breakthrough, the vortex of spiritual energy did not dissipate, but it gradually showed signs of becoming more turbulent. This made Mu Wan's beautiful eyes narrow, and she whispered softly, "Will she condense runes?"

In the Elixir Realm, one could condense runes on the Elixir Realm in the Dantian, and one would have to condense at least five or more spiritual runes to break through the Elixir Realm and step into the Yuanying Realm. Otherwise, one would be trapped in the Elixir Realm forever. This is a famous fact.

But condensing spiritual runes was not easy. Many third or even fourth level Elixir Realm cultivators did not condense a single spiritual rune, and it was common. So it was no wonder that Yan Chutian had prepared it for so long. When he broke through to the Elixir Realm, he condensed his first spiritual rune!

But just as Mu Wan seemed to know the reason, her beautiful eyes suddenly moved again. He stared at the vortex of spiritual energy, and shock appeared. This feeling …

"You, you want to condense two spiritual runes at the same time ?!"

Mu Wan was anxious and angry. Condensing spiritual runes was extremely difficult, and once it failed, one would suffer a great backlash. Ordinary cultivators would only try to condense spiritual runes if they did not have a solid foundation.
