This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered

Chapter 326: Ke Mengzhan


"Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique was created by Chen Hua when he was inspired in a state of Daoist Enlightenment; initially, it was just a rudimentary form," Zhou Ruanxian's eyes showed a reminiscing expression as her delicate white left hand reached out to catch a drifting snowflake.

"From its creation to its final perfection, it took a whole millennium. It was also because he wanted to integrate the techniques of hundreds from the world into the Immortal Technique that he sought people everywhere for discussions."

Liang Yi and Su Youyi felt a sudden realization; so that was their master's intention—they had naively thought their master was merely interested in other top cultivators.

"But after perfecting this Immortal Technique, Chen Hua found that with his current realm, he couldn't fully utilize it, and an incomplete Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique was just an ordinary first-grade Sword Technique."

At this, Zhou Ruanxian couldn't help but laugh. She had never seen such a fool who created a Daoist Skill that he himself couldn't use. She couldn't help but smile when remembering Chen Hua's first frustrated scratching of his head.

"At that time, the path to immortality was still severed, and even Chen Hua could only remain at the Seventh Realm Great Perfection. Due to the limits of his realm, Chen Hua had to simplify the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique in order to use it."

Liang Yi subconsciously activated the Immaculate Sword Technique, resonating faintly with the Flawless Sword Heart of his fellow disciple beside him.

"The two Sword Techniques you are now cultivating are the simplified results, which can also be considered as essential Sword Techniques for using the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique." Zhou Ruanxian extended both hands, one exuding a pure and flawless Sword Intent, and the other a clear glass-like Sword Intent.

When the two Sword Intents slowly merged, they emitted a Sword Light that felt very familiar to Liang Yi and Su Youyi. However, the Sword Intents seemed unable to withstand the fusion and were about to disperse.

"With insufficient realms, it's impossible to use this Immortal Technique. During the Seventh Realm, I couldn't even perform a simple merge, despite my deep familiarity with this Immortal Technique," Zhou Ruanxian said with a look of regret but also pride.

After all, the founder of this renowned Immortal Technique in history was her husband.

"How did I manage to execute it once before then?" Liang Yi was curious, as he hadn't anticipated that the threshold to use this Sword Technique could be as high as level 91 with pre-skill requirements.

"This is exactly why I called you today, 'Heart-to-Heart Connection,'" Zhou Ruanxian dispersed the two Sword Intents in her hands, gazing at Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

"Heart-to-Heart Connection?" Su Youyi's expression became thoughtful upon hearing these words. She recalled the strange sensation when she combined forces with her senior fellow disciple to execute the Sword Technique during the battle in Qingliang City.

The two seemed to merge into one, understanding each other's thoughts without even needing to exchange glances.

Is that reassuring feeling what 'Heart-to-Heart Connection' is?

"It seems you have experienced that state," Zhou Ruanxian nodded satisfactorily. Curious as to how these two, one not even having achieved the Sixth Realm and the other not even the Fifth Realm, managed to execute the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique, even a single successful execution meant a subsequent attempt would be simpler.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once they embark on that path, her only duty is to guide these two youngsters down it.

"In the coming week, I will train you. If you can't reach that state within a week, there's no point in wasting effort," Zhou Ruanxian's tone became stern, for in this grand world, it's impossible to be entirely self-sufficient without power. She had high expectations for these two juniors, which is why she is being more strict with them now.

"It's hard on you, er, Immortal Sister," Liang Yi bowed and thanked her. To receive guidance from a powerful Eighth Realm cultivator truly was a rare opportunity.

Across the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, Zhou Yuzhi stood by the Heavenly Pool, quietly waiting.

A fierce and unparalleled Sword Intent overflowed from the Sword Pond, and the pale golden Sword Qi began absorbing Spiritual Power the moment it touched the void, spreading and assimilating.

In the Sword Pond, a myriad of Sword Intents retreated from the figure in the pool, with only a few daring to confront it.

Engulfed by overflowing Sword Intent, Ke Mengzhan was now in an unconscious state; the earth-shaking Sword Intent was merely the instinct of the Qianyuan Sword Embryo.

Zhou Yuzhi looked worried, his prized disciple had been immersed in the Heart Inquiry for half a month already.

Considering Ke Mengzhan's talent and constitution, reaching the Sixth Realm shouldn't have been difficult, but issues arose during Heart Inquiry.

This challenge does not consider any talent or gift, but rather whether the mind has the strength matched to its power.

Ke Mengzhan, though incredibly indolent, becomes incredibly focused and proud when it involves the Sword Dao.

Just like Chen Hua and Zhou Yuzhi, he also desired to forge a path uniquely his own. But the Qianyuan Sword Embryo, both a gift and a restraint, bestowed him unparalleled talent in the Sword Dao but also limited the paths he could take.

At this time, Ke Mengzhan's engagement in Heart Inquiry was less about crossing this threshold and more about contesting with the constitution he was born with.

Only by truly mastering the Qianyuan Sword Embryo, transforming it into nourishment for his own path, could Ke Mengzhan free himself from its influence and create his own trajectory in the Sword Dao.

Zhou Yuzhi certainly understood his disciple's thoughts, but couldn't assist with this matter, only silently guarding here.

Success would mean an unobstructed path in cultivation; failure meant accepting the limitations imposed by the Qianyuan Sword Embryo.

The surrounding Sword Qi dispersed with a wave of Zhou Yuzhi's hand, keeping the phenomenon strictly confined around the Sword Pond. He had thought Ke Mengzhan would only realize this issue by the Eighth Realm, but this audacious young man had decided to address it during the Sixth Realm Heart Inquiry.

"The thought is good; I hope you can persist," Zhou Yuzhi, poised like a sword, stood upright beside the Sword Pond, preventing anyone from disturbing his disciple's spiritual contest.

In the Sword Pond, only three threads of Sword Intent remained in front of Ke Mengzhan, including those left there by Zhou Yuzhi.

The other two were from the founding ancestor of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool and the missing deceased Sect Master.

These three Sword Intents represent the furthest anyone from Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool has reached on the path of the Sword Dao. These three Sword Intents knew the young man in the pool was at a crucial juncture, standing before Ke Mengzhan to lend strength with their own Sword Intents.

Ke Mengzhan's consciousness remained muddled, with the Qianyuan Sword Embryo, transformed from the laws of heaven and earth, now instinctively seeking to imprint these laws onto Ke Mengzhan's Divine Soul.

Yet it encountered Ke Mengzhan's resistance.
