Chapter 259: Stealing the Breathing Technique, She Has Me in Her Heart!

Chapter 259: Stealing the Breathing Technique, She Has Me in Her Heart!

Shaohua’s message was simple: you must seize your own opportunities. She would only provide guidance, nothing more.

Even for someone like Yaoyao, who faced the peril of death and dissolution, Shaohua would only offer a path to revival and an opportunity, not intervene excessively.

Each person has their own destiny. Her role was to guide them onto the right path, not to force them into anything.

In her previous life, she might have given more. She was never stingy, having shared everything she had to clear the way and resist the darkness.

But after all the trials and tribulations, she had become much more composed.

Not indifferent, but calm and enlightened.

Instead of leading people down a predetermined path, she preferred to let them seek their own paths, each finding their own glory, needing only a little guidance.

In fact, her guidance had profound significance and impact.

A single word of truth could truly reverse one’s fate, leading them onto the path of enlightenment.

Of course, she was far from fully recovering her former powers, but in this world closely tied to her, she could indeed exert some influence.

"Even with the use of sacred medicines, breaking through dozens of shackles in a short time is still highly draining on one's life essence."

Yaoyao lifted her fair, round chin, looking at the Kunlun Beast Kings with a smug expression, and said leisurely,

"So, the Celestial Divine Race comes into play here. Their fish-dragon bodies, when cultivated to a certain level, are more nourishing than divine beasts, perfect for avoiding any lingering issues and troubles in your bodies."

Honestly, if not for the calamity in the ancient era, she doubted she would ever have encountered these lowly, mixed-blooded little demons.

To be precise, at least an Unbound Realm cultivator would be considered a minor demon. These were not even that!

The gap in status, position, and talent between them was immense.

Who could have imagined that after thousands of years, a group of "little demons" would have the chance to enter the Ten Thousand Gods Homeland, pick sacred medicines and divine king herbs, and even feast on the flesh of Celestial Divine Race Reflection of All Heavens-level beings?

It was a matter of timing and destiny.

Chu Feng suddenly understood why Shaohua had specifically captured a Celestial Divine Race giant and kept it in the Kunlun Mountains!

The Kunlun Beast Kings, who came from unorthodox backgrounds, had many questions, both about cultivation and the current and future situations, and wanted clear answers.

Shaohua smiled but remained silent, instead pulling out her adopted grandson.

Here was the benefit of having disciples and grand-disciples. For minor matters, there was no need for her to handle everything herself; these were the people she could command.

Yaoyao rolled her eyes and imparted an excellent Breathing Technique, then explained the common pitfalls of various cultivation realms, offering guidance.

She also systematically explained cultivation theory, something this group of unorthodox cultivators desperately needed, helping the Kunlun Beast Kings understand the realms beyond Unrestrained.

Awakening, Shackles, Unrestrained, followed by Mental Visualization, Dining on Rosy Mists, Form Shaping, Golden Body, and then Sage and Reflection of All Heavens.

Yellow Bull knew this, but he had been hesitant to say anything, fearing it would discourage the others.

Yaoyao, on the other hand, had no such reservations. If not for the calamity, the Saint Rank would have been within her grasp, and Reflection of All Heavens would have been a simple matter, achievable with effort alone.

Chu Feng indicated that he wanted to learn more genuine skills, including Breathing Techniques and supreme cultivation methods, and he was open to all.

"Your Breathing Technique is good; there’s no need to change it. You have your own path to walk, and there’s no need to follow mine. If I wanted to, I could have just emerged myself!" Yaoyao said directly.

Chu Feng was moved, running through the Breathing Technique Yellow Bull had taught him, and asked about its origin.

"Daoist Resonance Art, I’ve practiced it too. On the surface, it means to guide one to the Dao." Yaoyao’s face was calm, her smile faint.

Yellow Bull was also surprised that she knew about the Breathing Technique he had mastered.

"Back then, when our homeworld faced calamity, this guiding technique was one of the reasons. Some say that what is called a guiding technique is also a stealing technique, a prelude to a greater method. Unfortunately, we never learned the subsequent parts, leaving us unable to steal it." Yaoyao explained.

Shaohua knew that the complete Daoist Resonance Art was recorded on the Stone Box, but it was not necessary to mention it now.

Yaoyao hadn’t fully recovered, and even if she had, it would be of no use. The Stone Box was with Chu Feng, and he would eventually have the opportunity to access it. The portion he currently possessed was enough for his cultivation.

As for Yellow Bull and the other Beast Kings, they were better suited to the path of divine beasts. The best path is the one that suits you, and in the end, each must forge their own path.

"The part you have now can ensure you reach the Unrestrained Realm. I can tell you that there is another part of the Daoist Resonance Art in the Qinling Mountains. If you can obtain it, it would be even better.

My ancestor doesn’t want to interfere too much with your path. She has expectations for you, but becoming a second me would be meaningless. You need to forge your own path."

Yaoyao added, "Oh, and now many divine children and holy maidens from other realms have come to Earth. That’s up to you to handle!"

Chu Feng felt a bit singled out. Why did it always come down to him getting a pep talk? But he couldn’t help but be motivated by the words "she has expectations for you."

A common delusion—she must have me in her heart!

"Wouldn’t that make Chu Feng an enemy to the world?" Yellow Bull interjected.

"Ha, an enemy to the world? I was invincible under the stars back then!" Yaoyao glanced at them, her bright red lips curling slightly.

She had been unmatched among her contemporaries and even suppressed the so-called ancient monsters and relics. Had it not been for the calamity that interrupted her, she would already be at the Reflection of All Heavens level, the strongest in the world.

"What, are you afraid? That’s disappointing."

"I want to be invincible under the stars too!" Chu Feng was spurred on, raising his head sharply. A man must never say no.

"Invincible isn’t something you say; it’s something you fight for. Even if you become an enemy to the world, believe in your own invincibility!" Shaohua, overhearing their conversation, smiled and appeared, speaking quietly.

Chu Feng understood that this was a test. If he couldn’t pass it, he would indeed be a disappointment, and his future achievements would be limited.

"Invincible, Lady Fairy, you must have been invincible under the stars too." Yellow Bull looked up at Shaohua with a childish voice and an admiring gaze.

Chu Feng cursed inwardly. This bull was shamelessly acting cute, how despicable!

Shaohua was slightly taken aback by the comment. She reached out to gently stroke Yellow Bull’s soft hair, smiling lightly. "You’re wrong about that. When I first made my name, I wasn’t invincible under the stars. There was one person I could never surpass, a mountain I could never climb."

Everyone was stunned, even Yaoyao was speechless. Was this even possible?

"Yes, that person was naturally close to the Dao and was also known as the most beautiful woman under the stars. I couldn’t match her", she said earnestly.

Thinking about her beautiful, charming, and graceful mother, she couldn’t help but sigh that her father, Old Lungwu, had truly had a good life. How had he managed to win over this woman who had muscles in her brain?

"There’s actually someone more beautiful and stronger than my sister? I don’t believe it! People back then must have had poor eyesight!" Chu Feng said with righteous indignation.

"Maybe I had a hand in her being invincible, and the title of the most beautiful woman also came from my mouth", Shaohua winked, smiling brightly.

"Because that person is my mother!"

In that lifetime, the Western Sovereign had achieved enlightenment, becoming invincible under the stars and the most beautiful woman. No matter how strong Shaohua became later, she could never surpass her.

You can’t exactly beat up your own mother, can you? That would be a bit too disrespectful, and the image is too beautiful to even imagine.

Chu Feng clicked his teeth, ruined, ruined. Why didn’t she play by the rules? Trying to flatter her had backfired.

Yaoyao’s eyes showed a look of understanding. So that’s how it was, it made sense now.

"Being invincible under the stars is just a small beginning. This world is actually very small. You need to broaden your horizons. What does being invincible mean? The next moment, a heavenly enemy might appear."

"In my time, many people were obsessed with the concept of invincibility. The result? One failure could make them fall and never rise again. Don’t take such things too seriously; they’re just empty titles."

"Remember, some people have risen from a hundred defeats to surpass all their contemporaries and achieve enlightenment. Who can truly be called invincible, and who can claim to be unbeaten? Temporary setbacks mean nothing. I always believe that the path of cultivation is about sincerity and perseverance!"

Shaohua spoke at length, giving a solemn warning. Everyone listened attentively, not daring to be distracted.

At this moment, Saintmaster Yichen had returned. Yaoyao’s grandfather personally went to greet him. Old friends meeting again, their eyes were filled with tears, overwhelmed with emotion.

"What a fortunate day, to meet again!" the Holy Master sighed.

"We all thought you had met with disaster. What happened back then?" Sage Changming couldn’t help but ask.

He wasn’t questioning why Yaoyao’s grandfather had been absent from the ancient battle. Everyone knew that without a major catastrophe, he wouldn’t have abandoned his own family.

Yaoyao’s grandfather sighed deeply and briefly mentioned his situation.

"You should have guessed my background, but I can’t say more. The enemy is too terrifying, beyond imagination. I escaped by chance and encountered a rare Xu Kong fissure, falling into this world and barely surviving."

"At least you’re alive. By the way, how is your body now?" Changming asked quickly.

"Thanks to a benefactor, I’m fully recovered", Yaoyao’s grandfather said.

"Is it the one who crushed the Reflection of All Heavens level strong with a snap of his fingers?" Saintmaster Yichen guessed.

"Yes, but he’s not the god-like existence you imagine. Strictly speaking, he’s at a similar level to you and me. This world has a ceiling that suppresses even the strongest", Yaoyao’s grandfather sighed.

He believed that this person had connections with his ancestors and had a background that might be even more terrifying than the great black hand that had harmed his lineage.

Following her, Yaoyao might really have a chance to be resurrected.

Saintmaster Yichen’s eyes widened in shock. He had seen this person’s power firsthand, thinking it was god-like, but it wasn’t?!

"I’ll take you to meet her. Yaoyao is there too", Yaoyao’s grandfather led them to Kunlun to meet Shaohua.

When they saw Shaohua, they were all amazed, as if they had seen a celestial being.

Before this, they all thought Yaoyao was the most beautiful woman in the world, but comparison is the thief of joy. In every aspect, she fell short compared to this one.

Truly flawless, every strand of hair seemed to contain the traces of the Dao, every word and action harmonized with the rhythm of heaven and earth. She didn’t seem like a mortal being but rather a tangible embodiment of the Dao, incomparable.

"Holy Master Uncle! Uncle Ming!" Yaoyao was overjoyed to see them.

"I’m going to take Yaoyao away for a while to try and resurrect her. I’ll leave Earth to you and the young ones. Please take care of them", Shaohua mentioned Chu Feng and the others.

After learning about Chu Feng’s talent for Battlefield Formation, Saintmaster Yichen promised to cultivate him, while Changming, now a relentless coach, set a brutal cultivation plan for everyone.

After all, Yaoyao was his student, as were the third and ninth most powerful under the stars. Regardless of their character, their achievements were undeniable, and they were qualified to teach.

"Earth is in a period of reconstruction. You’re in the right place at the right time. I plan to cultivate you into the future pillars of Earth. Don’t talk about reaching the Reflection of All Heavens level, but at least become a Saint. It’s time to start your cultivation, children!"

Changming was more passionate than the young people, determined to use his remaining energy to cultivate these Earth descendants to the best of his ability.

Shaohua trusted him, seeing his genuine enthusiasm and sincerity. He was indeed a good teacher.

Changming revised the planned schedule, thinking he could push the young ones further. He took the initiative, leading Chu Feng and the others to confront the domain invaders and search for opportunities in famous mountains and rivers.

No, that was reclaiming what rightfully belonged to Earth!

They couldn’t yet fight the Unrestrained realm princes and princesses, so they started with the Shackles realm followers, dealing harsh blows to the invaders. After all, they had ill intentions.

They accumulated strength through trials and battles, then went to the Ten Thousand Gods Homeland to seek holy herbs and Divine King Herbs, aiming for super evolution. Future sainthood and lineage would no longer be a dream.

Chu Feng had an additional learning task, given several sacred books on Battlefield Formation by the Holy Master to study on his own. He fought during the day and read by lamplight at night, feeling the immense pressure.

"The place you mentioned is the Ten Thousand Gods Homeland?" Yaoyao followed Shaohua deep into the Kunlun Mountains, entering the Ten Thousand Gods Homeland. She was speechless, looking at the familiar scene.

"You haven’t figured out what’s at the deepest part, right?" Shaohua asked with a smile.

"Is it related to you?" Yaoyao’s grandfather, standing nearby, was shocked.

He had survived on Earth because he discovered that natural Daoist mountain, leading to the sudden rise of ancient Earth.

"No, it has always belonged to me."
