"This young man, his aura has stabilized so quickly; it’s truly astonishing. Xiushan, why do you think this is?"
Daoist Xiushan smiled faintly, pride filling his eyes, and explained, "This is the advantage of the Sacred Body. As his cultivation continually improves, the power of the Sacred Body will become even more evident.
Gu Sheng’s Sacred Body inherently contains immense potential, and breaking through to the Earth Palace Realm, this potential has been further unleashed. In terms of stabilizing his foundation, naturally, he is much faster than ordinary people."
The Treasure Pavilion Master was filled with envy, "Such talent, such physique, is truly heaven’s favor. Given time, this young man will certainly become a pillar of our Xinghong Spirit Domain."
As they were speaking, the Treasure Pavilion Master remembered something and turned to Daoist Xiushan, asking, "By the way, Xiushan, I’ve always been curious, when did you actually pass on the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique to this young man?"
Daoist Xiushan’s smile vanished, replaced by an expression of hesitation. He lowered his head slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Actually... I haven’t taught him the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique."
The Treasure Pavilion Master widened his eyes in confusion and asked, "Why is that? The Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique is the top-level Cultivation Technique of your Xiushan lineage and is extremely powerful.
With Gu Sheng’s talent and physique, if he were to cultivate this technique, he would certainly enhance his abilities significantly. Why haven’t you taught it to him?"
Daoist Xiushan sighed deeply, his face full of concern, and explained, "It’s not that I don’t want to pass on the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique to him.
This young man has extraordinary talent and a kind heart. I’ve long intended to take him as my legacy heir.
But... although the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique is powerful, the risks in cultivating it are extremely high. A slight misstep, and he might suffer a cultivation deviation or even die suddenly."
The Treasure Pavilion Master felt puzzled and said, "With Gu Sheng’s Sacred Body, isn’t it sufficient to resist the risks of this cultivation? We all have witnessed the power of the Sacred Body. He surely can withstand the pressure of cultivating the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique."
Daoist Xiushan shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of worry, and said, "You are not aware. Gu Sheng’s Sacred Body’s strength far exceeds ordinary people. While this is his advantage, it is also his potential peril.
If he happens to suffer a cultivation deviation while practicing the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique, the consequences might be several times more severe than those for an ordinary person.
I wish for him to inherit my legacy and promote the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique, yet I can’t bear to see him take this risk. This... truly makes it hard for me to decide!"
The Treasure Pavilion Master, upon hearing Daoist Xiushan’s explanation, felt an inner turbulence. What Daoist Xiushan said was indeed true, Gu Sheng’s Sacred Body is indeed a double-edged sword.
On one hand, it gives Gu Sheng unparalleled talent and potential; on the other hand, it makes him face greater dangers when cultivating certain high-risk techniques.
The two fell into silence for a long time, and a heavy atmosphere pervaded the air.
After a while, the Treasure Pavilion Master spoke, "Xiushan, I understand your worry. Gu Sheng is indeed a peerless genius, with limitless future achievements. We should not easily let him take risks.
After all, the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique is the heritage of your Xiushan lineage. If we abandon it like this, it would be a pity. I think we should observe for a while longer and see how Gu Sheng progresses in other Cultivation Techniques.
If he manages another breakthrough in other techniques, perhaps at that time, it wouldn’t be too late to consider teaching him the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique."
In Tianlan Sacred Land, the search for the intended groom by the Tianxuan Divine Girl had already become the most prominent affair within the Sacred Land. Time swiftly passed, fourteen days gone in the blink of an eye, yet the true identity of that groom remained elusive.
Imposters continued to emerge, including two former Saint Heirs over a hundred years old. Such chaos greatly troubled the Tianlan Saint Master and Holy Mother, having them overwhelmed with handling related affairs every day.
Hearing about this in the Water Spirit Pavilion, Gongsun Yue’s eyes filled with anger and disdain, as she spat out, "These people are simply disgraceful to our Tianlan Sacred Land! For the sake of that so-called identity, they act in such shameless ways."
