1385 Accomplishment

Jian Ai came back to her senses and smiled. Then, she walked forward and helped him up. “Get up.”

Ye Liushang slowly stood up and looked at Jian Ai, as if sizing up the Sect Master. His eyes were incomparably deep, but they did not make people feel oppressed.

Jian Ai didn’t feel uncomfortable from Ye Liushang’s gaze. She immediately said, “I’ve always heard news about you from Bai Zhou and Uncle Ji. Now, we can finally meet.”

Ye Liushang lowered his head slightly and answered in a low voice, “When the Sect Master appeared, it was the critical moment for me to break through. Please understand.”

“I know all this,” Jian Ai said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ai pulled Si Yue to her side and introduced him to Ye Liushang. “This is one of the twelve guards of the ancient sect, the Shadow Asura—Si Yuehan!”

“Hello, Brother Liushang. I’ve heard a lot about you,” Si Yue pretended to be calm, but the burning light in his eyes could not hide his excitement.

From the moment he saw Ye Liushang walking over on the sea, his heart had already beat faster. It was like a fan seeing his idol.

Ye Liushang’s gaze shifted from Jian Ai to Si Yue, and he smiled. “You’re Si Yuehan? I heard from Bai Zhou that he picked you up?”

“Yes,” Si Yue admitted.

“Liushang, long time no see…” At this moment, Ji Yansong smiled and walked forward to greet Ye Liushang.

Seeing the High Priest, Ye Liushang leaned over slightly and made a respectful gesture. “Greetings, High Priest.”

Seeing this, Ji Yansong couldn’t help but pat his shoulder and smile. “There’s no need to be so polite between us.”

Speaking of which, back then, Ji Yansong suffered a backlash from cultivating the Mysterious Underworld Technique. If not for Ye Liushang’s dose of phoenix blood, Ji Yansong might not have lived until today.

Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that Ye Liushang was his savior.

“It’s been hard on you. Everyone, stop standing here. Let’s go to the island,” Jian Ai said.

Everyone nodded and walked along the path towards the courtyard at the top of the mountain.

On the way, Ji Yansong said to Ye Liushang, “You also know the reason I asked you to come this time. The Sect Master has encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation of the power of blood. If that high-level mental cultivation technique acts up, I can’t do anything. In this world, only you can help the Sect Master.”

“I will do my best to help the Sect Master complete the cultivation of the power of blood,” Ye Liushang said calmly. Although his tone was indifferent, it inexplicably made people feel at ease.

When they returned to the courtyard, Ji Yansong prepared a table of food. Everyone sat around and chatted as they ate.

“Liushang, have you already mastered the power of the phoenix?” the High Priest asked.

The so-called mastery was to cultivate one’s abilities to the peak of perfection. There were no more hurdles that needed to be broken through. In the past thousand years, there were very few people in the ancient sect who had cultivated their abilities to mastery.

This supreme realm was not something that could be achieved just with talent and hard work.

Ye Liushang nodded slightly and said with an extremely calm expression, “I already reached it a year ago.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Ai couldn’t help but gasp. Ye Liushang was only about twenty-five years old, but he had already cultivated it to perfection. What kind of person could do this?

Si Yue knew how difficult it was. His gaze on Ye Liushang became even hotter, and he couldn’t hide his admiration.

“Sect Master.” Ye Liushang looked at Jian Ai and asked, “What level is your power of blood at now?”

Jian Ai said, “Although I’ve already absorbed the mental cultivation techniques, I’ve only cultivated to the fifth level. If I forcefully break through again, I won’t be able to control myself.”

Ji Yansong said, “Once the power of blood goes out of control, its power is terrifying.”

Ye Liushang smiled and said to Jian Ai, “In just over a year, the Sect Master is already extremely talented to cultivate to the fifth level.”

“Not only that, but this power of blood is extremely compatible with the Sect Master. After breaking through the first five levels, the Sect Master cultivated them to the highest realm and could use them freely,” Ji Yansong said.

Ye Liushang nodded and thought for a moment before saying, “It seems that this power of blood already treats the Sect Master as its host. However, it has willpower. The higher it cultivates, the stronger its willpower will be. It will also be more difficult.”

“Once the Sect Master’s mental strength doesn’t suppress the willpower of the power of blood, the Sect Master will lose control.”

“That’s right.” The High Priest nodded and admitted. Then, he said, “Your power of the phoenix also has the willpower of the Undying Bird. It can be said to be the same situation as the Sect Master, so I’m relieved to have you help the Sect Master.”

“Although the power of the phoenix has willpower, it’s much more docile than the power of blood,” Ye Liushang said slowly. “I didn’t see the evil of the power of blood with my own eyes, but it’s not difficult to guess how terrifying this power is from Bai Zhou’s words about its origin.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Liushang looked at Jian Ai and said, “But Sect Master, don’t worry. No matter how powerful this power is, it’s still controlled by someone. It’s through people that abilities can be released.”

“Although it’s stirring in your body now and wants to devour your mind and occupy your body, once you complete the absolute suppression, this powerful force will submit to you and you will be able to use it!”

Jian Ai nodded. Ye Liushang’s words matched what she had thought before.

The High Priest immediately said, “In that case, we’ll prioritize the overall situation. From tomorrow onwards, you’ll help the Sect Master cultivate.”

“It’s my duty!” Ye Liushang said.

Si Yue listened to everyone at the side and couldn’t help but feel agitated. He wanted to say something a few times but retracted his words.

This was his personality, especially when facing Ye Liushang, whom he had admired for a long time. Although they were both of the same level as the twelve guards in the ancient sect, the difference in their strength was enough to make Si Yue respect him. This was admiration for the strong or even the strongest.

At this moment, Jian Ai spoke up for him. Jian Ai smiled and said, “Liushang, since you’re here this time, I hope you can give Si Yue some pointers. His power of darkness has cultivated to the top, but he hasn’t been able to break through.”

When Ye Liushang heard this, he couldn’t help but look at Si Yue and ask, “How long has it been?”

Si Yue quickly said, “It’s been half a year.”

Ye Liushang nodded in understanding. “There’s an insurmountable gap in cultivation towards the top. Everyone is like this. Wanting to break through is not something that can be done in a day. Countless people have stagnated at this step, and they can’t even cross it even if they spend their entire lives.”

“Similarly, if you successfully complete the breakthrough, you will rise to another realm. Your strength will also improve qualitatively. You can’t compare to now.”

“But I think you’re only seventeen or eighteen years old. You’ve already reached the top at such a young age. You’re also very talented.”

“As expected, when choosing an heir, the ancient sect will choose the most suitable person to inherit their abilities.”
