Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 13 Boundless Sword Technique, Yunshuiyao is here!

Top-grade Xuan-level item!

Looking at the brand-new fist technique that had already appeared in the system's inventory, Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but tremble slightly!

We made a fortune! We really made a huge fortune!

There is a chance of failure when using a cultivation technique advancement card, depending on the potential of the cultivation technique itself.

Unexpectedly, the potential of the Dragon Elephant Fist is so great.

A top-grade Xuan-level fist technique would cost at least a thousand strategy points in the system shop!

Secretly delighted, Gu Jiancheng clicked to learn without hesitation. The moment the technique disappeared, Gu Jiancheng's body trembled, and the power of the dragon and elephant surged through his limbs and bones like a torrent!

[Ding! System notification: Congratulations, host, on cultivating the Prison-Suppressing Dragon Elephant Fist! Using strategy points can accelerate the cultivation speed. One hundred strategy points are required to advance to the initial stage of mastery!]

The attainment of skill is divided into four realms: initial understanding, mastery, consummate skill, and perfection.

Even for a prodigy with a profound physique who wants to gain initial insight into the basics, it would probably take at least three days.

Now, he only needs a moment!

"Promotion!"

Therefore, Gu Jiancheng did not hesitate and directly consumed 100 strategy points to advance.

hum!

In an instant, a profound meaning entered Gu Jiancheng from between his eyebrows. Gu Jiancheng felt it and gathered the power of the dragon and elephant in his arms, which he couldn't help but express.

boom!

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng bent his arm and straightened up, his blood and qi boiling, as if dragons and elephants were roaring angrily within him, and he suddenly unleashed a powerful punch.

With a single punch, the flames transformed into the phantom of a dragon and an elephant, instantly blasting a ten-zhang-tall boulder in the distance into dust!

The aftershocks of the punch stirred up dust, which swept over a hundred feet before finally subsiding.

Even at the very first level of the initial understanding, it is already so domineering and unparalleled?

As Gu Jiancheng lowered his arm, he couldn't help but admire him. He was only at the half-step Core Formation stage. If he were to advance to Core Formation, the power of this punch could increase several times over!

"Big, Senior Brother, you..."

But at this moment, the fat man who was knocked to the ground by the aftershock of the punch looked like he had seen a ghost.

Didn't the Master say that this senior brother has an unparalleled useless physique?

"You, you are an unparalleled prodigy!"

The next moment, Fatty came to his senses and quickly got up from the ground.

"I knew it! How could the first disciple of Xiaoyao Peak be a cripple?"

"Now, my Xiaoyao Peak won't be expelled. I'm going to tell those snobbish bastards that no one will ever bully Xiaoyao Peak again!"

After saying that, the chubby boy ran wildly outside, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws.

"Basic exercises, don't be stupid!"

But Gu Jiancheng quickly stopped him.

"Disciples of Xiaoyao Peak should be as low-key as their master."

"What do you mean by being removed from the list?" Gu Jiancheng asked again.

Just now, Li Piaomiao inexplicably mentioned a one-month master-disciple relationship, which puzzled Gu Jiancheng.

"Ah, senior brother, you don't know, it's a long story." The chubby boy sighed, and then began to tell the story.

Gu Jiancheng listened silently and gradually understood the reason.

Li Piaomiao lost all her cultivation after the demon tide catastrophe thirty years ago and was brought back to Taixuan by the sect leader.

At the time, everyone thought that Li Piaomiao had lost all her cultivation due to serious injuries.

When the sect leader was present, no one else had any objections.

However, twenty years ago, the sect leader went on a journey and never returned. Gradually, Li Piaomiao's reputation declined, and in addition, he became addicted to alcohol. In the end, he sold Xiaoyao Peak to Jianyun Peak.

Although he has fallen on hard times and ended up in this desolate outer mountain, Li Piaomiao still possesses the control incantation for the Hundred Refinement Tower, a treasure of the sect.

The current sect leader of Sword Cloud Peak has long coveted the Hundred Refinement Tower.

Therefore, today he joined forces with the elders to try to remove Xiaoyao Peak from the list of disciples on the grounds that Xiaoyao Peak had no disciples.

At that time, the Hundred Refinement Tower will naturally fall into the hands of Peak Master Jianyun!

“Controlling the Hundred Refinement Tower is a symbol of the sect leader, and Peak Master Jianyun is determined to get it.” The chubby boy said worriedly, “Even if Xiaoyao Peak has disciples now, they will definitely not give up.”

"The Tai Xuan Sect's grand examination is in a month. Those guys will definitely target you, Senior Brother. According to the sect rules, if all the disciples in the outer sect are defeated, they will still be expelled!"

"Heh, I see!" Gu Jiancheng scoffed after hearing this.

With him here now, who can defeat Xiaoyao Peak?

"Let's go check out the Hundred Refinement Tower!"

On the lake where the rain was falling, Li Piaomiao, fast asleep, had a slight smile on her lips.

"It seems my senior brother was right, my luck has arrived..."

The Tower of Hundred Refinements.

Each of the thirty-six sects in the Northern Region has one. According to the chubby boy, the Hundred Refinement Tower contains sacred treasures used by the outstanding young talents of the Desolate State to challenge it. All those who pass the challenge will receive a reward.

"You said the Hundred Refinement Tower has a hundred floors, but there are only nine floors now?" Gu Jiancheng asked at the foot of the Hundred Refinement Tower.

"The Hundred Refinement Towers of the Thirty-Six Sects all have only nine levels, because so far, very few sect leaders have been able to reach the ninth level."

"Since its founding, no one in the Tai Xuan Sect has ever reached the top. The higher levels can only be seen by going to the Eight Great Academies, the Four Great Palaces, or even the Three Great Holy Lands."

"The best performer in this generation of Tai Xuan Sect is Luo Qingyang, the eldest disciple of Jianyun Peak."

"The sixth floor, they still haven't come out." The chubby boy pointed to a jade tablet in front of the tower.

There are inscriptions on it.

Gu Jiancheng glanced at it and found that the results were exactly the same as those of the Ten Outstanding Figures statue in front of the outer gate. Gu Jingyu was ranked second and at the fifth level of the Hundred Refinements.

"I see."

Luo Qingyang's Xuan Body talent has already reached the Core Formation Realm, but he is only at the sixth level. It is clear that this Hundred Refinement Tower is indeed extraordinary.

The results of the Hundred Refinement Tower are shared among all sects. He checked the results of other sects and found that the highest scorer had indeed passed the test.

It seems there are still quite a few prodigies among the Thirty-Six Sects; in comparison, the Tai Xuan Sect's performance is truly disappointing.

"Senior Brother, you are the hope of our Xiaoyao Peak. Just keep cultivating diligently. I'll go prepare dinner."

After saying that, the chubby boy ran down the mountain in a flash.

Gu Jiancheng took a deep look at the Hundred Refinement Tower, then turned around to find a place to cultivate.

He will definitely climb to the ninth level of the Hundred Refinements Tower!

Xuan Ning Peak, Jing You Pavilion.

When Xuan Ning Peak Master Leng Yuzhen saw Yun Shuiyao outside the pavilion raise her hand and unleash a palm print ten feet wide, condensing frost and instantly freezing the pool in front of her, she couldn't help but gasp.

"Peak Master, the Frost and Snow Palm is a high-grade spiritual-level technique. How did Shui Yao manage to master it in just half an hour?"

"What kind of monstrous talent is this?"

Behind Leng Yuzhen, an elder from Xuan Ning Peak exclaimed in surprise.

"To be precise, it's only the time it takes to brew a cup of tea," Leng Yuzhen shook her head.

It took her three days to master this palm technique back then.

"A cup of tea?" The elder looked shocked.

"The current appearance of Shuiyao is unparalleled in Taixuan. Who among the Five Peaks can compare to it?"

"Congratulations, Peak Master! In the Tai Xuan Grand Examination one month from now, our Xuan Ning Peak can compete for first place!"

"Heh, the Grand Examination of Tai Xuan?" Leng Yuzhen still shook her head: "If Shui Yao weren't only at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, what would the Grand Examination of Tai Xuan be?"

"Give the order: Xuan Ning Peak will allocate all its resources to Shui Yao. I hope she can make a name for herself in the upcoming Eastern Region Four Sects Grand Competition!"

The Tai Xuan Sect is too small; only academies and schools are worthy of such a prodigy.

Xiaoyao Peak, in front of the desolate mountain cliff.

Gu Jiancheng took out a second tattered book, his starry eyes sparkling.

The first book gave him the Prison-Suppressing Dragon Elephant Fist, but this second book is full of sword manuals, and it doesn't even have a name on the title page.

This made Gu Jiancheng very much looking forward to it.

Immediately, he consumed 100 strategy points and chose to advance.

hum!

However, the system seemed to be advancing extremely slowly this time. The book in his hand glowed, and only after ten breaths did the system notification sound.

[Ding! System notification: Congratulations, host, on successfully advancing your cultivation technique and obtaining the level-free secret technique [Boundless Sword Art]!]

Upon seeing the golden cultivation manual that had appeared in his system inventory, Gu Jiancheng even rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.

A sword technique without level restrictions!?

Is this... withdrawal?

He immediately clicked on it.

【Boundless Sword Technique】: With a single sword strike, there is no form or color, no boundaries, no end, and no limit. It breaks through all laws with its boundless power, and is unpredictable and invincible in the way of the sword!

Invincible?!

Looking at the description of the sword technique, Gu Jiancheng was shocked.

Isn't this a bit too domineering?

Moreover, this sword technique has five killing moves: formless, shapeless, endless, limitless, and immeasurable!

The sword technique was extremely obscure, leaving Gu Jiancheng, who had never practiced swordsmanship, completely bewildered for a time.

Direct promotion!

He couldn't care less about anything else and chose to take the shortcut. He had no choice; his family was rich!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have advanced to the initial stage of the Boundless Sword Technique!]

hum!

The next moment, Gu Jiancheng raised his hand, and an invisible sword aura condensed in the void, which he then slashed out in front of him.

Click!

A sword aura ten feet long instantly slashed into the rock wall, shattering the solid stone and leaving only a long, dark sword mark, obscuring the view before it.

"Its power is superior to the Dragon Elephant Fist, but why is it still lacking?"

Gu Jiancheng frowned. He had clearly grasped the basics, but the entire Wuliang Sword Technique was still like a mirage, hazy and unclear.

Could it be because there's no sword to enhance it?

Or is it that my understanding is not deep enough?

However, when Gu Jiancheng was preparing to advance his swordsmanship once again, he discovered that to master the Boundless Sword Technique and unleash its second move, he needed to consume some strategy points or comprehend [Sword Intent]!

"System, are you kidding me? You're asking for strategy points, why don't you just go rob someone?"

"And what is sword intent?" Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but ask.

[Ding! Host, please calm down. The Boundless Sword Technique is a levelless inheritance, so the cost of advancement is extremely high. The so-called sword intent refers to sword comprehension. The host needs to first comprehend the sword momentum and reach the extreme of sword momentum spiritual connection before he can possess sword intent!]

Furthermore, sword stance can enhance the power of sword techniques, offering endless possibilities.

Swordsmanship comprehension!?

Gu Jiancheng frowned, realizing something was amiss.

Although he had mastered the Boundless Sword Technique, it still lacked a certain charm.

It seems that there are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation.

"Never mind, with my talent, comprehending sword intent shouldn't be difficult." Gu Jiancheng chuckled, then returned to his thatched hut to cultivate.

He still has a lot to do, but of course, the most important thing is to wait for Yunshuiyao to come over tonight.

He spent 400 strategy points in one go and urgently needs his wife to send him the money.

Light clouds veiled the moon, and the Milky Way filled the sky.

As night fell, figures began to gather on the desolate mountain at the entrance to Xiaoyao Peak.

On the thousand-foot-high cliff that completely separated the inner and outer sects of Tai Xuan, many inner sect Foundation Establishment disciples stood or sat quietly waiting.

In just half a day, the name Yunshuiyao had spread throughout Taixuan.

With her exceptional talent and stunning beauty, Yun Shuiyao has been hailed as the most beautiful woman in Tai Xuan.

Of course, another disciple with the same name as the one from the Tai Xuan sect is Gu Jiancheng from the outer sect's Xiaoyao Peak.

All because of that cry outside the mountain gate, "My lady!"

So they've gathered here today just to see a joke.

As the bright moon hung high in the sky, the ethereal Yunshuiyao never appeared, which caused the outer disciples to begin to sneer.

"We're fools, what are we waiting here for? Yun Shuiyao is such a fairy, why would she come to the outer sect!"

"That's right, especially considering he's just a crippled disciple from Xiaoyao Peak. It's like comparing heaven and earth."

"It's gone, it's gone!"

On the high cliff, Ji Mingyang, who had entered the Dao Asking Peak, also shook his head and sneered.

"Gu Jiancheng, you are truly delusional."

However, just as he turned to leave, a sudden commotion and shouts arose from the desolate mountains below.

Ji Mingyang stared intently, but the next moment, his heart trembled violently.

At that moment, on the path of Xiaoyao Peak, a beautiful figure dressed in a purple robe slowly approached.

Although her figure was concealed, the aura she exuded and the half-exposed face beneath her robe were like the bright moon emerging from the clouds. Who else could it be but Yun Shui Yao?

She actually went to Xiaoyao Peak.

Inside Xiaoyao Peak, Gu Jiancheng, who had been waiting anxiously, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His wife, as expected, never disappointed him.

When Yunshuiyao arrived at the thatched hut, she took off her long robe and placed the wine and dishes on the wooden table with a wave of her hand.

"I heard you're struggling financially on Xiaoyao Peak, so I brought you some food."

Looking at the table full of food and wine, Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but shudder.

What's going on? The iceberg suddenly feels sorry for people?

So considerate!

"Senior Brother, the food is ready!"

At that moment, Fatty ran over excitedly.

However, as he looked at the table laden with delicious food and wine, the hard steamed bun in his arms fell to the ground.

"You, you guys, are eating, eating?"
