At this moment, Chen Yuyang was still completely unaware of what was happening on Yan Luo’s side.
He simply felt that it was necessary for him to increase Tai Lingxuan’s strength.
At the very least, he wanted her to have the ability to protect herself, as well as the ability to protect him, when facing enemies at the level of a Mahayana cultivator.
The reason why people still came to find trouble with the Hehuan Sect was, in the end, because they were not strong enough.
He could not improve his own strength in a short period, nor did he want to.
Therefore, the only thing that could be improved was Tai Lingxuan’s cultivation realm.
Returning to the room in the inn, Chen Yuyang crushed a soundproofing talisman and then looked at Tai Lingxuan with a serious and earnest expression.
“Master, there are some things I want to confess to you.”
Since he intended to increase Tai Lingxuan’s strength, Chen Yuyang also felt it was time to come clean about some of his affairs.
Given his current relationship with Tai Lingxuan and everything she had done for him, Chen Yuyang felt that he could trust her completely.
Upon hearing this, Tai Lingxuan’s expression also became extremely serious.
She knew that Yuyang was planning to confess to her.
It was just as well; she had actually been very concerned about the various secrets on Yuyang’s body for a long time.
If he was willing to speak, that was naturally for the best, and it also meant that she had gained Yuyang’s complete trust.
Chen Yuyang cleared his throat, turned around, and stood with his hands behind his back.
“Master, have you ever wondered why my alchemy could advance by leaps and bounds without anyone’s guidance.”
“Why the cultivation technique I practice is completely different from the one you gave me before.”
“And why I was able to trigger the Heavenly Laws just now.”
As he spoke, Chen Yuyang paused for a moment.
“I have thought about it.”
Hearing the woman’s answer, the youth continued: “Well, it’s fine if you haven’t thought about it, Master, you… wait a minute, Master, you said you… have thought about it?”
Chen Yuyang was stunned; he had thought that Tai Lingxuan would only realize it after he had said all this, and then he would properly explain his situation of a hundred lives and a hundred refinements to her.
But, she had actually thought about it.
This was something Chen Yuyang had not expected.
Was it because Master usually paid so much attention and care to him that she had keenly sensed all of this?
Chen Yuyang thought to himself.
“Then Master, why do you think your disciple is like this.”
Instead of explaining immediately, Chen Yuyang became somewhat curious about how Tai Lingxuan had filled in the blanks herself.
Tai Lingxuan paused, then smiled faintly.
Even now, was Yuyang still feeling embarrassed?
Or was he testing her?
“I think this should be related to your background, right.”
Tai Lingxuan spoke slowly, with a smile on her face.
Chen Yuyang’s eyes lit up, and then he slowly nodded.
“It is indeed related to my background.”
“Yuyang, the reason you didn’t say it before was because you were worried that speaking out would lead to disaster, right.”
Chen Yuyang nodded again.
There were too many secrets and treasures on his person; even with a Mahayana realm cultivation, he might not be able to protect himself, so he naturally did not dare to speak easily or show them to others.
“That’s right, Master… those matters involve too much, and even now, your disciple cannot explain too much to you.”
Tai Lingxuan nodded repeatedly, thinking to herself.
Her previous guess was indeed correct; Yuyang’s background and the power behind him must be extraordinary.
However, there were too many entanglements involved, perhaps affecting some internal power struggle within a family, so he could not reveal his identity now.
Thinking this, Tai Lingxuan spoke with quite some anticipation:
“It’s no matter, Yuyang, I believe you. The fact that you are willing to risk telling me has already made me feel very gratified.”
Chen Yuyang nodded, his mind already beginning to study his wording, thinking about which angle to start the narration from.
However, Tai Lingxuan said with concern:
“By the way, Yuyang, first introduce me to that senior from your family. I haven’t properly thanked him for the previous matters yet.”
Chen Yuyang: “???”
Family?
What family?
Senior?
Where did a senior come from?
Seeing that the youth did not answer immediately, Tai Lingxuan suddenly realized if she had asked something she shouldn’t have, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty, muttering: “This, shouldn’t be something that can’t be said, right? After all, that senior has already taken action multiple times….”
Chen Yuyang only then remembered that Tai Lingxuan had told him her speculation that there might be a hidden powerhouse in the Hehuan Sect’s territory.
So it turns out Master ultimately linked him with that hidden powerhouse and interpreted him as his Dao Protector?
Chen Yuyang’s eyes brightened slightly.
Family, senior, a heaven-sent genius left outside… That’s right, why didn’t I think of this reason?
It wasn’t that Chen Yuyang wanted to continue hiding it, but the matter of his hundred lives and hundred refinements might be a bit too shocking for Tai Lingxuan.
The matter of a beloved disciple of many years suddenly becoming a several-hundred-thousand-year-old senior… Chen Yuyang didn’t know if Tai Lingxuan could accept it.
In comparison, this reason that Master had filled in herself, although still quite absurd, was ultimately a bit easier to accept….
Thinking this, Chen Yuyang secretly had a plan in mind.
“Cough cough, as expected of Master, I didn’t expect you to even discover this.”
“That’s right, the two times before, it was indeed Uncle Bai who acted… however, please forgive your disciple for not being able to agree to your request, Master. Uncle Bai is unwilling to reveal his identity, and he will only protect my path until I am fifteen years old. By my count, there isn’t much time left.”
Chen Yuyang said this mainly because he was worried that Tai Lingxuan would have expectations for the combat power of that non-existent powerhouse.
“I see..”
Tai Lingxuan nodded slightly, finding it understandable.
“In short, Master, I do indeed come from a certain family, but I cannot tell you clearly which family it is.”
“I am but an illegitimate son, so my existence cannot be spread to the outside world either.”
“Father had no choice but to leave me at the Hehuan Sect in order to protect me.”
“They have no intention of letting me participate in family struggles, and I don’t plan to go back and get involved in those entanglements. Your disciple only wants to stay in the Hehuan Sect.”
Chen Yuyang continued, so that he could clearly separate himself from that non-existent family to the greatest extent possible.
Tai Lingxuan nodded slightly, her eyes flashing with a strange light: “In short, your disciple has some treasures here bestowed by my father.”
“Now that my Hehuan Sect has offended the Qiankun Sect, your disciple believes that it is necessary to increase the strength of the Hehuan Sect一一mainly yours, Master. Therefore, your disciple plans to take out some treasures to help Master break through her realm!”
Chen Yuyang talked for a long time and rambled for a long time, but he was actually just finding a reason for taking out good things.
Hearing this, Tai Lingxuan’s breathing couldn’t help but hitch.
Yuyang, does he know what he’s saying?
Helping her break through her realm… she was in the Body Integration Realm.
Could that be something an ordinary item could help with?
Since Yuyang was an illegitimate son, how could she, as his Master, accept the treasures bestowed by his father?
These were all meant to be used for Yuyang’s own improvement in the future!
“No…”
Tai Lingxuan was about to refuse immediately.
However, before she could finish her sentence, a strangely shaped ancient bronze square plate had already appeared in Chen Yuyang’s hand.
Within the plate, Yin and Yang were divided, the four directions were present, the Eight Trigrams were arranged, and a magnetic spoon sat on top.
When this item appeared, Tai Lingxuan’s pupils suddenly expanded, and her breathing hitched: “This item is named the Ji Plate, and it is an eighth-grade treasure.”
“This dharma vessel can break through illusions and eliminate falsehoods.”
“Most importantly, it contains the power of the Heavenly Laws within it, and there is even a small world inside.”
Chen Yuyang introduced it slowly: “The Heavenly Laws that your disciple triggered just now actually originated from it; it’s just that your disciple did it obscurely, so no one noticed.”
“At Master’s current stage, you need to comprehend the Heavenly Laws.”
“And to break through to the Mahayana Realm, one also needs to sense their own origin, shape their own laws, and open up their own small world…. So your disciple thinks this item should be of great benefit to Master.”
A long time ago, this Ji Plate was also of much help to Chen Yuyang.
However, as the Heavenly Laws he comprehended became increasingly perfect later on, this thing gradually lost its effect and had been gathering dust in his Xumi sea of consciousness for an unknown number of tens of thousands of years.
This, this….. this…..
Tai Lingxuan subconsciously took the Ji Plate handed over by Chen Yuyang, and her body couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.
Her heart was racing even more, unable to calm down for a long time.
Holy crap.
What kind of family is this?
An eighth-grade treasure!
Moreover, the most important thing was the Heavenly Laws; there was actually the fucking existence of Heavenly Laws on this thing!
One must know that for ordinary cultivators, even being able to sense a single thread of the Heavenly Laws was already an extremely difficult matter.
But on this treasure, there were actually Heavenly Laws so dense that they could be directly used for comprehension.
Furthermore, it even had a ready-made small world.
Moving from Body Integration to Mahayana requires evolving one’s own laws and opening up one’s own small world within一一even if one does not open it, one must master such an ability.
To master such an ability, what could be easier than referencing a ready-made small world?
For a moment, Tai Lingxuan didn’t even know how to describe her current mood.
Indeed, she had wanted to refuse.
Because first of all, she felt that the things Chen Yuyang took out might not necessarily be able to help her.
On the other hand, she also felt that the things Chen Yuyang could take out were probably one-time-use medicinal pills or natural treasures; if she used them, Yuyang would have none left.
“…”
If it was this treasure….
Then there would be no such concerns at all.
Yuyang was still far from the realm of truly comprehending the Heavenly Laws, which meant that he couldn’t use this thing at all right now.
As long as this treasure was not destroyed, the Heavenly Laws branded on it would not disappear.
No matter how she used it for comprehension, Yuyang wouldn’t suffer any loss.
Suddenly, Tai Lingxuan remembered that when she had dual cultivated with Yuyang before, she had also felt the Heavenly Laws more than once.
It seemed that at that time, this child Yuyang was actually helping her in secret!
No wonder her realm breakthrough was so rapid.
This child was really thinking of her in every way…..
Having figured this out, Tai Lingxuan couldn’t help but feel a bit moved.
But………
“Yuyang, are you sure your father has no intention of letting you participate in the family struggle?”
Tai Lingxuan couldn’t help but ask.
Treasures of this level were usually only given to heirs, right?
How could they be so good to an illegitimate son?
“Master, I am very sure…. I know this is a supreme treasure, but this is my father’s compensation to me, rather than him having expectations of me.”
Chen Yuyang naturally knew what his Master was thinking and immediately explained.
Tai Lingxuan nodded slowly, lowered her eyes, and gazed at the Ji Plate once more.
“I, I understand!”
“Yuyang, I will definitely not let your painstaking efforts go to waste and will break through as soon as possible!”
