Chapter 2321 - 2319: Space Secret Technique

On the meteorite, space slightly distorted, and the vanished figures of Su Yan and Lu Ye's Talent Tree Avatar suddenly appeared.

Their return from the crevice of space was unquestionable.

The avatar's eyes shone brilliantly; if not for the inconvenience of the main body being absent, he could immediately start recalculating Void Dao Runes.

Through Su Yan's guidance over the past few days and recent observations, he had many ideas.

"Junior Sister Su, I know there is an outer world and an inner world in the Star Abyss. Can one use space secret techniques to enter the inner world?" Lu Ye suddenly asked.

Ever since learning about the inner world, he had been quite intrigued.

Moreover, he felt that the location of this stellar space fragment was an inner world, since the Dao force in the outer world wasn't this rich.

"It's different..." Su Yan shook her head, "The so-called outer and inner world are actually in the same space."

"Hmm?" Lu Ye was astonished, "How could they be in the same space?"

If they are in the same space, why differentiate between outer and inner worlds?

"Let me use an analogy, Senior Brother, you have a two-story building, if the upper floor is the outer world, then the lower floor is the inner world. But whether it's the upper or lower floor, they're actually in the same space, just differentiated by levels due to their height difference."

Lu Ye mulled over his chin thoughtfully.

Although Su Yan's explanation was simple, it wasn't so easy for Lu Ye, who had never been to the inner world, to understand.

"Actually, I've always been curious about something." Su Yan tilted her head, looking at Lu Ye. Her holy and noble air added a unique charm to her demeanor.

"What?"

"Senior Brother, are you... Entering the Path or Dao Fusion?" Su Yan asked the question that had been lingering in her mind.

Anyone who spent some time with Lu Ye, without being too familiar, would likely have this question, including Song Weiwei before, though she never asked.

"I am certainly Dao Fusion." Lu Ye replied without changing his expression.

Su Yan smiled with pursed lips, "Senior Brother is lying!"

"How can you tell?"

"Because you've never been to the inner world, otherwise you wouldn't have asked such a question just now. But with your strength, you shouldn't have never been there, especially since even I have entered the inner world a few times. Moreover..." Her eyes burned as she looked at Lu Ye, "The frequency at which you receive Star Abyss Blessing is too high. As everyone knows, to receive the Star Abyss Blessing, one must either kill plenty or triumph over stronger opponents. Yet even if weaker overcomes stronger, it doesn't guarantee receiving the blessing unless the cultivation gap is extraordinarily huge. I never quite understood this before, but if Senior Brother is only entering the path, then it all makes sense."

A beginner physique defeating one in 1st Order Dao Fusion, even if it's the 9th Dao beginner physique defeating a 1st Order Dao Fusion, such a cultivation gap is extraordinarily huge, and there's a high chance of receiving the Star Abyss Blessing.

Not to mention Lu Ye's kills are not limited to 1st Order Dao Fusion, he has taken on many in the 7th-8th Order.

"But I really am Dao Fusion." Lu Ye insisted firmly.

Because of the Lover's Knot, Lu Ye knew Su Yan wouldn't harm him, but as they were not particularly close, there were things Lu Ye preferred not to disclose.

Su Yan did not pursue the matter further but said gently, "Senior Brother, the Star Abyss Blessing... isn't necessarily a good thing."

Lu Ye blinked, "What does Junior Sister mean by this?"

Su Yan shook her head, unwilling to elaborate.

Lu Ye looked at her, his brow furrowed.

He was aware the Star Abyss Blessing wasn't purely beneficial, as it was accompanied by anomalies he had yet to understand.

However, these anomalies were burnt away by the Talent Tree.

It was exactly due to the Talent Tree's reactions that he sensed the anomalies, otherwise, he would remain oblivious.

How did Su Yan know? How much did she know?

Considering Su Yan's unusual bloodline, it wasn't surprising she knew. This could have been passed down from her ancestors.

But her evasiveness was rather intriguing; was it... inconvenient to say?

"Senior Brother, although my Innate Divine Ability cannot be taught, there's another space secret technique you might cultivate, interested?" Su Yan suddenly proposed, "With your current mastery in the Path of Space, you have a chance to succeed."

Lu Ye realized she was changing the subject but couldn't decline, so he nodded, "That would be much appreciated, Junior Sister."

Su Yan smiled and gently pushed a palm towards him.

Lu Ye puzzledly responded with his own palm.

At the moment of contact, Lu Ye perceived the force within Su Yan's palm, but eerily, the unleashed force had no effect on him.

Suddenly, he was shocked as he felt a strong vibration within him, like being struck by an invisible force!

That force can't be without source; it must be Su Yan's doing, but her force should have exerted on his palm, yet bizarrely affected him internally.

"What secret technique is this?" Lu Ye asked in surprise.

"Hitting the Ox!" Su Yan revealed.

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow, "The Beating Bull of Hitting the Ox?"

"Yes." Su Yan nodded, "This is a secret technique passed down from my ancestors. Are you interested, Senior Brother?"

"Can this secret technique break through the blockade of the enemy's protective Dao force?"

If it could, that would be truly invincible.

In any situation, when a cultivator battles, to kill an enemy, it's necessary to break through the enemy's protective force, whether it's spirit force, mana, or Dao force, only then is there hope to defeat the enemy.

But if this so-called Beating Bull Secret Skill could break through such protective force, directly unleashing one's strength inside the enemy, it would be a guaranteed kill with no need for such trouble as before.

"Of course not, Senior Brother, what are you thinking? Protective force is perfect and flawless; although this secret technique is profound, it can't ignore the protective force." Su Yan was crying and laughing at the same time, if it could, she would have been invincible long ago. This secret technique was created by her ancestors to target another type of enemy, and it is said that this secret technique once created unparalleled achievements.

But because of the passage of time, and the lack of records in the family archives, she does not know the specifics.

"I'm still interested." Lu Ye nodded.

Although it's different from his expectations, it is ultimately a Space Secret Technique and practicing it can't be a bad thing; it could come in handy someday.

Previously, he was unwilling to waste time because he needed to gather as many Star Abyss coins as possible.

But now the situation has changed; the contention among the Star Abyss Heirs has led to the death of too many in the 9th Dao. Even if he continues hunting, he probably won't be able to collect enough Star Abyss coins, as the fewer people there are, the lower the hunting efficiency.

Since he couldn't gather enough Star Abyss coins to exchange for that treasure, it would be better to practice with Su Yan here and learn more things.

After all, the ultimate decision of the Star Abyss Heir isn't determined by the number of Star Abyss coins; he only needs to maintain his strength with Su Yan and participate in that final battle!

Seeing that Lu Ye showed strong interest, Su Yan naturally did not hold back and immediately began to teach the secret technique.

Only at this moment did Lu Ye realize that Su Yan... was not just skilled in archery!

Her ability in close combat is absolutely not weak, and it can even be said to be very strong!

It's just that her archery skills are so impressive that this aspect has been overshadowed.

Those who had once opposed her, trying to decide victory by getting close, probably never realized, even upon their death, that even if they broke through Su Yan's archery blockade, they wouldn't meet a good end.

Besides practicing the secret technique, every one or two days, Lu Ye would have Su Yan lead him into the spatial crevice to feel the marvels of space in that special environment.

He obtained the Void spirit rune when he was very weak, but to be honest, even though it changed into Dao Runes and has been used to great effect countless times under his hand, achieving merit, Lu Ye was always in a state of knowing what it was without understanding why.

Simply put, due to the Talent Tree, he could use this Dao Rune to do certain things, thereby achieving his goals.

But the fundamental mysteries of this Dao Rune, he did not have much profound understanding.

Until this time...

Entering the spatial crevice time and again, being washed by countless turbulent spatial currents, Lu Ye gradually had a sense of not only knowing what it was but also understanding why it was so.

He gradually developed his own insights and comprehension of Space's Marvel.

From this perspective, encountering Su Yan and being chosen by her as a companion was providence for him.

If it weren't for the contention among the Star Abyss Heirs this time, he would never have met Su Yan; who knows in which corner of the Star Abyss she resides? But this contention allowed for the possibility of their interaction.

While Lu Ye was immersed in practicing with Su Yan, in the Four-Ears World.

In the Jing Kingdom Imperial Palace, Concubine Rong's palace, the Dust Emperor strode in energetically.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Led by Concubine Rong, a group of maids and guards paid their respects in unison.

The Dust Emperor raised his hand, "No need for formalities."

He quickly stepped forward, helped Concubine Rong up, and looked intently at her abdomen, "What did the imperial physician say?"

Concubine Rong's face was full of bashful happiness, she gently caressed her abdomen and said with her head lowered, "The imperial physician said it has been more than a month!"

The Dust Emperor immediately turned to look behind him; a servant there was responsible for recording his daily affairs, including which concubine he stayed with on which day, so that if a concubine became pregnant, they could check the timing for corresponding actions.

That servant slightly nodded when the Dust Emperor looked his way.

The Dust Emperor laughed heartily, supported Concubine Rong to sit down, and said, "Very well, now that you are pregnant, you must rest well."

Concubine Rong naturally agreed.

Then the Dust Emperor bestowed another round of rewards; having royal offspring is no small matter, especially for the Jing Kingdom's Imperial Family. Perhaps because of his intense campaigns in his younger years or hidden injuries from back then, the Dust Emperor, despite having many concubines in the harem, has few offspring, and most are princesses; there is only one prince, who is quite weak and frail...

Now that Concubine Rong is pregnant, he naturally values it highly, as he favors Concubine Rong greatly.

This round of rewards wasn't just for Concubine Rong, but also included her family, and even the maids and guards around her shared in the favor.

The many Four-Ears naturally offered their profound gratitude.
