At this moment, Ye Wushuang was not channeling any spiritual energy; he was simply practicing the moves.
Yet, in Xiao Yuan's eyes, each move appeared incredibly strange, as if it wasn't Ye Wushuang standing in front of him but a real demonic ape, swinging its long arms, attacking, and fighting to the death!
"With the combination of these moves and the mental techniques, if you can fully understand and integrate them, it will not be a problem for you at the eighth level of the Refining Body Phase to fight against someone at the ninth level!"
After demonstrating the entire set, Ye Wushuang took a breath and asked, "What do you think?"
"It's amazing. Where did you get this martial technique?" Xiao Yuan exclaimed in amazement.
Seeing Ye Wushuang didn't respond, Xiao Yuan quickly said, "I won't ask what I shouldn't. Now, teach me this palm technique!"
"Alright!"
After practicing and passing on the mental techniques to Xiao Yuan, it was already late at night, and the two parted ways.
Ye Wushuang returned to his room.
He sat cross-legged, and his figure disappeared from the room, reappearing in the first level of the Nine Layers Soul-Suppressing Tower.
Inside the first level of the Nine Layers Soul-Suppressing Tower, the flow of time is half that of the outside world. A day outside is only half a day inside, which undoubtedly could speed up Ye Wushuang's cultivation significantly.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang practiced the Tiger's Roar Fist again, executing each of the nine moves one by one. He felt that his grasp of this martial technique had finally reached a state of proficiency.
The consecutive battles today had accelerated his integration and control over this body.
It seemed that to truly and completely control this body, he still needed more practical combat.
Next, in Ye Wushuang's hand, the Tianya Sword emitted a faint sword aura.
"The Tiger's Roar Fist alone is not enough!"
Standing inside the tower, Ye Wushuang pondered for a moment and finally chose a sword technique from the ones that flashed through his mind.
The Nine Heavens Sword Technique!
An offensive Yellow-grade spirit technique.
This sword technique consists of four moves.
The first move, "Sword Emerges Like Clouds," is as graceful as clouds, yet its lethal aura is irresistible.
The second move, "Sword Breaks the Heavenly Mountains," implies that when the sword is drawn, it is unstoppable, as if it could pierce through even a mountain standing in its way.
The third move, "Sword Overlooks the Heavens," commands a kingly presence, towering over all opponents.
The fourth move, "Sword Shatters the Nine Heavens," has but one word: kill. It embodies a sense of invincibility and unstoppable momentum.
These four moves of the Nine Heavens Sword Technique are most suitable for those at the Refining Body Phase, and the essence of this swordsmanship is to forge ahead. Once the sword is drawn, it seeks to kill, with no thought of defense.
At this moment, after familiarizing himself with the mental techniques and sword moves in his mind, Ye Wushuang began his cultivation...
The current safety of the Ye family was only temporary.
Whether it was the Qin family or the Yun family, they all undoubtedly wanted him dead!
Moreover, the current array could fend off attacks from those at the first, second, or third levels of the Condensation Phase, but stronger Condensation Phase experts could break it with sheer force, as the Four-Spirit Heavenly Que Array had existed for too long, and many of its internal patterns had decayed.
He couldn't always hide in the Ye Mansion either.
The slander from Yun Boyan and Yun Qingyue, the humiliation the Qin family had inflicted upon the Ye family in the past— he intended to settle all these scores.
What he needed most now was to enhance his strength. Only strength could protect his family's safety!
With each sword strike, an aura gradually coalesced, and suddenly, Ye Wushuang stood motionless within the tower space.
After an unknown period, he struck out with a sword.
"Sword Emerges Like Clouds."
Instantly, his internal energy erupted, and the sword thrust forward, creating a terrifying sword howl. At this moment, not only did the Tianya Sword emit a powerful aura, but Ye Wushuang also had an additional concept reinforcing the sword, amplifying the power of the sword energy several times over.
"Sword Intent Seed!"
Ye Wushuang exhaled, his face showing a hint of joy.
In his past life as the Peerless Heavenly Emperor, he had reached an unparalleled level of craftsmanship in alchemy, artifact forging, array setting, and swordsmanship.
Now, starting from scratch, as he practiced the Nine Heavens Sword Technique, he unexpectedly comprehended the Sword Intent Seed!
What is a Sword Intent Seed?
A swordsman cultivates the sword and cultivates themselves. As the swordsman's strength grows, so does the power of the sword and the spirit of the sword. These three are one.
As the swordsman becomes proficient with their sword and techniques, they reach a state where they are intimately connected with the sword, as if breathing in unison, which is the awakening of the Sword Intent Seed.
A swordsman with an awakened Sword Intent Seed wields a sword three times more powerful than one without it.
And if one truly understands the Sword Intent, the enhancement in the power of the swordsmanship would be even more terrifying.
Holding the Tianya Sword, Ye Wushuang suppressed his joy and said slowly, "I didn't expect to progress faster in the path of swordsmanship in this life than in my previous one."
Awakening the Sword Intent Seed and comprehending the Sword Intent is inevitable; it's just a matter of time.
Now, with the Tianya Sword in hand, Ye Wushuang could effortlessly defeat an opponent at the seventh level of the Refining Body Phase!
Taking advantage of the awakened Sword Intent Seed, Ye Wushuang continued to cultivate within the Nine Layers Soul-Suppressing Tower without pause.
The next day, early in the morning.
Emerging from the Nine Layers Soul-Suppressing Tower, Ye Wushuang arrived at the living room.
Liu Yuemei, Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Feifei were all waiting at the dining table, with more than a dozen types of breakfast laid out.
"Brother, you're awake!"
Ye Feifei looked very happy, smiling and saying, "Today's breakfast is so fragrant..."
The dozen or so maids and servants Ye Wushuang brought back yesterday had been settled in the Ye Mansion.
Starting today, their mother wouldn't have to cook anymore, and their third uncle would have someone to attend to him. Although they were currently trapped in the Ye Mansion, Ye Feifei was very happy.
Their family hadn't had such a sumptuous breakfast in a long time.
"Brother Xiao Yuan said he doesn't need breakfast and not to disturb him; it seems he is cultivating," Ye Feifei pulled Ye Wushuang to the table, smiling and saying, "Brother, you worked hard yesterday; hurry and eat."
"Okay..."
Ye Wushuang rubbed Ye Feifei's head, dotingly saying.
The family sat at the table again, but today's mood was completely different from yesterday's.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang said, "Mother, Third Uncle, after breakfast, I'm going out for a while."
Hearing this, Liu Yuemei said, "Wushuang, the Qin family is definitely watching our Ye family now, and the Yun family must have heard the news yesterday. Yun Boyan and Yun Qingyue, knowing you're okay, will definitely take covert actions. You..."
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry. I'm going out this time to buy some medicinal materials and a dan furnace, preparing to start alchemy, to lay the foundation for my sister, to treat Third Uncle's broken leg, and also to regulate his body, preparing to help him solve the issue of his lifespan."
"My son is doing well now. The Qin family, the Yun family wants to kill me, but there are those who don't want their son to die."
Liu Yuemei thought for a moment and finally nodded, saying, "You must protect yourself."
"Okay!"
After breakfast, Ye Wushuang arrived at the main gate of the Ye Mansion. At this time, not only were there Qin family spies watching around the Ye Mansion, but there were also spies from other families.
Although the Qin family didn't surround the Ye Mansion completely, they definitely had people keeping an eye on every move of the Ye family to prevent them from escaping.
When Ye Wushuang stood in front of the Ye Mansion for not long, a group of people arrived at the mansion and stopped...
"Young Master Ye."
The leading warrior looked at Ye Wushuang and said respectfully, "We have been ordered by the hall master to escort Young Master Ye to the Soul-Devouring Hall."
"Alright."
Ye Wushuang then leisurely got into the carriage.
Given the Soul-Devouring Hall's resources and reach, they would undoubtedly be aware of the events that had transpired the previous night. The array he was constructing within the hall was far from complete, and Mo Xuan would not allow him to perish, not when he was so close to finishing it.
After all, Mo Xuan, as the master of the Soul-Devouring Hall, had an imposing background and was not one to fear the Qin or Yun families, or any other for that matter.
As Ye Wushuang stepped into the carriage, individuals swiftly dispersed to carry out their tasks...
The carriage wheels began to turn, and the vehicle started moving, carrying Ye Wushuang away from the Ye Mansion and towards the Soul-Devouring Hall.
