Chapter 135

However, while the world was not surprised, Yang Cancan was greatly surprised.

She had never imagined that a person could fly through the air without any external force; it was simply the work of a god!

But now this has actually happened to her, leaving her no choice but to believe it.

Before this moment, Yang Cancan’s feelings for Wang Yue were simply admiration, but now, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of worship as well—in her eyes, both Wang Yue and Xuan Ji were like immortals.

Not only Yang Cancan, but even Xuan Ji was shocked.

Although he is known as “the devil with a Buddha’s heart,” his devilish hand is always directed at beastmen who harm humans. He does not want to attack his own kind unless absolutely necessary, not even in friendly sparring.

So he immediately activated the flight mode that symbolizes a transcendent being, and flew at full speed right from the start, with the aim of making Wang Yue back down after seeing his speed and giving up the idea of ​​sparring.

But who knew that Wang Yue could not only fly, but his speed was no slower than his own. He was right behind him and showed no signs of fatigue.

More importantly, Wang Yue not only flew by himself, but also carried someone with him. Doesn’t that mean that his cultivation level is even higher than mine?

How is that possible?

Xuanji was certain he was not mistaken; Wang Yue’s bone age was definitely no more than twenty years old, or even younger.

A Transcendent Realm expert under twenty years old, and at least at the third level of the Transcendent Realm—even a Holy Land couldn’t cultivate such a disciple. Just who is this young man?

The two of them, one in front and one behind, took only a short while to leave Kaifeng and arrive at the banks of the Yellow River to the north.

Waterways are not very friendly to humans, especially the Yellow River, where aquatic creatures are particularly rampant. Therefore, apart from specially designated docks, the area within 30 miles of the riverbank is uninhabited.

Xuanji chose this location for the sparring match, which is just right and avoids disturbing or accidentally injuring others.

After judging that Wang Yue’s cultivation level should be no less than his own, Xuan Ji was no longer so resistant to sparring with him. He put his hands together and said, “This humble monk is at the early stage of the third level of the Transcendent Realm. My signature martial art is the low-grade Heaven Rank ‘Great Compassion Thousand Leaf Hand’. Please enlighten me, benefactor.”

Wang Yue hadn’t expected Xuan Ji to be so open and aboveboard, revealing his cultivation level and signature martial arts techniques before even starting a spar.

Since the other party was so frank, Wang Yue naturally wouldn’t hide anything either. He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, “I am a late-stage martial artist at the second level of the Transcendent Realm. My signature martial arts are the Earth-rank top-grade Heaven-Shaking Palm and the Heaven-rank low-grade Wind God Leg.”

Xuan Ji was somewhat surprised when he heard that Wang Yue was only at the late stage of the second level of the Transcendent Realm, but he understood after hearing Wang Yue’s self-introduction.

After all, it’s normal for someone skilled in leg techniques to be faster.

“Master, please make your move.” Wang Yue gestured to Xuan Ji.

Xuanji wasn’t one to mince words. Since he had already decided to spar with Wang Yue, he said no more, simply saying, “Forgive me.” Then, he spread his palms, unleashing a flurry of palm shadows that hurtled towards Wang Yue.

“Good!” Wang Yue praised. Xuan Ji’s technique was indeed a Heaven-rank martial skill. Although it was just a pair of palms, it instantly produced hundreds of palm shadows, and each one had enough killing power. It was not a fake move.

After giving a thumbs-up, Wang Yue also waved his hands and went to meet him.

He didn’t have Xuanji’s ability to unleash a barrage of palm strikes, but his two bare hands were enough.

As the two figures collided, a loud “boom” rang out, and then both of them took three steps back.

“Good!” Xuanji also praised, because Wang Yue was able to accurately identify his real palms from among the hundreds of attacks he had launched and intercept them precisely, which was no easy feat.

Moreover, although he did not use his full strength in this move, he still used 70% of his power. His opponent’s cultivation was a small realm weaker than his own, and the martial arts he used were also a realm lower, yet he was able to fight him to a standstill, which is even more commendable.

Little did they know, Wang Yue was not using a top-grade Earth-rank palm technique at all, but rather his family’s mid-grade Profound-rank martial art, the Jade-Breaking Palm. It was just that he had added some characteristics of “Level 8 Gale” to it, which made the true energy rotate twice more in the meridians.

“Master, please use your full strength!” Seeing that Xuanji was not using his full strength, Wang Yue said this. After all, it was not easy to meet a strong opponent of the same level, so he naturally wanted to have a good fight.

Xuanji nodded. Judging from Wang Yue’s performance, although his cultivation was weaker than his own, his strength was no less than his own, so there was no need to worry about hurting him, and he didn’t need to be so cautious when he made a move.

The two then took to the air, deliberately avoiding Yang Cancan, and began to fight each other in the air above the water.

Yang Cancan gazed into the distance, growing increasingly alarmed—it was one thing for Wang Yue and the other to fight while flying, but the commotion of their battle was truly terrifying. The aftershocks of the fight alone caused the Yellow River below to surge with towering waves, akin to a typhoon.

Although she wasn’t a martial artist, she was only one step away from being one. In addition, she had never met a real martial artist before, so in her mind, those powerful martial artists were at most a dozen or dozens of times stronger than her.

But seeing this scene before him, he suddenly became completely sober. These people were not only dozens of times more powerful than him, but they were beings from completely different dimensions!

That’s so discouraging!

Fortunately, Yang Cancan had experienced countless hardships since childhood, and her will was much stronger than that of ordinary people. At this moment, she did not feel inferior, and even thought of leaving quietly in a very dramatic way. Instead, she was inspired to fight and determined to become such a powerful martial artist.

Meanwhile, Wang and Yue became more and more excited as they fought.

For martial artists at their level, unless they are in a martial arts mecca teeming with powerful individuals, finding a worthy opponent is extremely difficult, and having a truly satisfying fight is even more challenging.

Therefore, even Xuanji, who was usually very calm, couldn’t help but feel happy because of the battle, and took the opportunity to hone his martial arts skills to perfection.

Wang Yue’s gains were even greater. With the pressure from Xuan Ji, he was able to integrate the two different martial arts techniques, Jade Breaking Palm and Eighth-Level Gale, into a more seamless whole.

Previously, when using the Jade-Breaking Palm technique with the characteristics of a level 8 gale, Wang Yue could only make his true energy complete two rotations in his meridians, but now he has broken through to three.

The true energy rotates three times, which is eight times more powerful. What’s even more terrifying is that this power multiplier is not added to the power of the Jade-Breaking Palm itself, but multiplied.

The Jade Breaking Palm, a mid-grade Xuan-level technique, only has a power boost of 2 times. Even when combined with three rotations of true qi, it only has a power boost of 16 times, which is still inferior to the Heaven-level martial arts.

But don’t forget, Wang Yue can now instantly unleash six rotations of true qi. If he combines this with the Jade Breaking Palm to achieve this level, it would be equivalent to instantly unleashing a level 8 gale with seven rotations.

Moreover, the level eight whirlwind is not limited to being combined with the Jade-Breaking Palm. Once he has studied it more thoroughly, it can also be combined with other martial arts techniques.

If it were to be fused with a Heaven-rank martial skill by then…

During the fight, Wang Yue discovered that although Xuan Ji’s true qi was of average quality, his physique was extremely powerful. Even with just his physical strength, he was enough to contend with ordinary martial artists below the third level of the Transcendent Realm. Combined with the power of his true qi, even a peak third-level Transcendent Realm expert might not be able to defeat him.

Cultivating both the physical body and the Dharma!

Wang Yue couldn’t help but feel quite envious. Although his true energy was of excellent quality, and if he went all out, even Xuan Ji, who cultivated both body and magic, would not be his match. But as a martial artist, who would complain about being stronger?

Moreover, as a stallion, wouldn’t a strong physique allow him to display his prowess even more?

The two fought for more than two hours. Whenever they were exhausted, they would fall to the water to catch their breath before continuing.

Wang Yue never used his full strength, maintaining a draw with Xuan Ji throughout. After all, the two were just sparring, and there was no need to determine a winner.

Moreover, neither of them is the kind of person with a strong desire to win; their sparring is just for the sake of sparring, not to determine who is better.

More than two hours later, the two returned home, having had their fill of fun, but instead of going back immediately, they sat on the shore and chatted.

Through Xuanji’s detailed self-introduction, Wang Yue and his companion learned that he was simply a darling of the heavens—originally just an ordinary little monk who didn’t know martial arts even in his twenties, but at the age of twenty-five, he accidentally stumbled into a secret realm and obtained a powerful Buddhist inheritance as well as a vast amount of rare and precious materials, which directly propelled his cultivation to the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

Upon emerging from the secret realm, he encountered a water monster attacking Kaifeng. He stepped in to help and then settled down in Kaifeng, where he lived for sixteen years, gradually raising his cultivation level to the current third level of the Transcendent Realm.

In other words, Xuanji’s age is exactly the same as his appearance; he is only forty-one years old now.

A 41-year-old at the third level of the Transcendent Realm is a rare sight even in the sacred lands of martial arts. Although he cannot compare to Wang Yue, who is 16 years old and at the Transcendent Realm, he can still be considered a prodigy.

It is only polite to reciprocate, so Wang Yue told Xuan Ji about his origins and took the opportunity to inquire about the sacred land of martial arts.

However, although Xuanji’s cultivation was strong, he was not even a martial artist before entering the secret realm. After leaving the secret realm, he stayed in Kaifeng and his understanding of the martial arts world was not as good as Wang Yue’s. Asking him about the holy land of martial arts was like asking a blind man for directions.

The two then talked about their strengths.

Wang Yue also frankly told Xuan Ji that the reason his true energy was so pure was entirely due to the practice of dual cultivation.

Xuanji became a monk at a young age and never considered returning to secular life. Even if Wang Yue were willing to teach him, he would never learn this method.

When it came to his practice of dual cultivation of body and spirit, he kept it a secret, only telling Wang Yue that he would know once he went back with him.

So, just like when they came, Wang Yue took Yang Cancan and flew straight back to Jingchan Temple.

In this Jingchan Temple, apart from the Buddha hall in front, there is only one quiet bedroom.

At this moment, Xuanji led Wang Yue and the other person into his bedroom.

This was certainly not for Wang Yue and his companion to tour the place. After entering, Xuan Ji pressed a very hidden switch on the wall, and then there was a sound from the ground, and a secret door leading underground appeared in front of the three of them.

“There’s a secret room! Could it be that the master is keeping a mistress hidden away?” Wang Yue couldn’t help but laugh.

Xuanji’s expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, “Young friend, please don’t make fun of me!”

Wang Yue’s heart skipped a beat.

After getting to know Xuanji, he had come to understand him quite well. Despite being over forty years old and a super-powerful being in the Transcendent Realm, he was very simple-minded and had an incredibly open-minded personality. Even if you made some rather excessive jokes to him, he would only respond with a smile.

He had just said something that was clearly a joke, and given Xuan Ji’s personality, he should have just smiled slightly. However, Xuan Ji’s reaction was so strong, which was very unusual.

Before Wang Yue could ask anything, the three of them had already entered the underground secret chamber.

This was a small room, less than four meters long, wide, and high. It was empty except for a bed, and on that bed lay a woman dressed in a white silk dress.

Could it be that I unintentionally hit the nail on the head? That the old monk really is not at peace with his desires and is keeping a mistress?

Wang Yue thought to himself, but then felt something was off, because Xuan Ji didn’t seem like that kind of person at all.

“So beautiful!” Yang Cancan exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Yue was so preoccupied with his curiosity that he didn’t notice the woman’s appearance on the bed at first. It was only when he heard Yang Cancan’s exclamation that he subconsciously looked over.

Then, Wang Yue couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback—it really was beautiful!

The woman looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She had skin as smooth as cream and lips as red as cinnabar. Of all the women Wang Yue had ever seen, only his mother, Su Mengyan, could surpass her in appearance. If he were to rate her by his own standards, she would be a beauty with a score of over ninety-five, comparable to Su Mengyun and Su Mengqing.

Moreover, this woman was not only extremely beautiful, but also had a great figure. She was about 1.7 meters tall, and even when she was lying flat, her breasts were still high and firm, which I estimate to be no less than a G cup. Her waist was extremely slender, and her legs were long, but they were covered by her white dress and could not be seen clearly.

What an amazing mature and sophisticated woman!

Wang Yue couldn’t help but secretly praise him, and then his gaze toward Xuan Ji became increasingly strange.

“Young friend, please don’t misunderstand. This humble monk has no relationship with this female benefactor. Well, I can’t say we have no relationship at all. In short, it’s not what you imagine…” Xuanji hurriedly explained, his words becoming somewhat incoherent.

Wang Yue frowned slightly. Xuan Ji was definitely not the kind of person who would lie. If he said he had no such relationship with this woman, then he really didn’t.

But what’s wrong with his disheveled appearance?

Could it be that, although there is no connection, his Buddhist faith has actually been corrupted by this woman?

But that doesn’t make sense. At the Xuanji realm, the only person in the world who could confuse his Buddhist mind with appearances is probably Su Mengyan.

The woman on the bed was also extremely beautiful, but she was still inferior to Su Mengyan.

Although the difference is not much, it is the difference between perfection and imperfection, and there is a fundamental difference.

However, Wang Yue still trusted Xuanji, so he simply asked, “Master, what exactly is going on?”

Xuanji took a deep breath and began to explain: “This female benefactor was someone I encountered in that secret realm. From the moment I saw her, she has been in a deep sleep and has not yet awakened…”

“Wait a minute!” Wang Yue couldn’t help but interrupt Xuan Ji: “You mean, she’s been in this state for at least sixteen years?”

“That’s right. For the past sixteen years, she has been in a deep sleep. The only change is that her body has been growing.” Xuanji said, “When I first saw her, she was still a young girl.”

What the hell is this?

Wang Yue was stunned. He had been asleep for more than ten years without waking up, and his body was still growing. It was too strange that his body hadn’t changed shape from lying down all the time.

“Then how did you keep her alive, Master? Did you give her IV fluids?” Yang Cancan asked, equally surprised.

Xuanji shook his head and said, “No, there seems to be a very powerful and peculiar force in her body that keeps her needs met, so that I don’t even need to use my true energy to sustain her.”

“Is it really that amazing?” Yang Cancan exclaimed.

Wang Yue didn’t react much. After all, secret realms are inherently magical. For example, he was also caught up in a secret realm in his previous life and ended up being reborn. In comparison, the people Xuan Ji brought out from the secret realm only had the power to sustain life for a long time, which was nothing.

Instead, he was quite interested in the woman that Xuanji had brought him to see: “Could it be that the master’s powerful physique is related to this woman?”

“Not bad.” Xuanji nodded and said, “This female benefactor has a very magical ability. When my true energy comes into contact with her, it will cause some changes, which will then be fed back to my physical body to enhance its strength. After sixteen years, my physical strength is no less than my true energy cultivation level.”

Wang Yue asked curiously, “Master, didn’t you say that her body doesn’t need you to maintain it with your true energy? How come you’re still using your true energy to contact her?”

“Well, this humble monk can’t say for sure. Young friend, you should experience it for yourself,” Xuanji said, then deliberately added, “Please be mindful of your thoughts!”

After saying that, he waved his hand and withdrew the layer of true energy that was enveloping the sleeping woman’s body.

boom!

The moment Xuanji withdrew his true energy, Wang Yue’s mind was shaken violently.

At this moment, the sleeping woman in his eyes was completely different from before. Her appearance and figure had not changed, but she exuded an extremely strong charm, which made his penis instantly hard and his desire surge.

After truly engaging in dual cultivation with his mother, and being baptized by her—the most beautiful woman in history and his own mother—Wang Yue’s willpower in this area had greatly increased. He no longer experienced the situation where his penis would easily become erect. However, at this moment, he couldn’t control himself at all. He wanted nothing more than to pounce on her, tear off her clothes, and thrust himself into her body…

Fortunately, he habitually keeps his penis as small as possible, so even if it gets really hard, it won’t be noticeable from the outside, thus avoiding embarrassment in public.

Xuanji didn’t look at Wang Yue’s reaction. After withdrawing his true energy, he immediately stretched out his palms and, from a distance of more than a meter, unleashed his surging true energy again, firmly enveloping the sleeping woman and suppressing her unique alluring power.

It took Xuanji more than ten minutes to finally put his hands down and let out a long breath. He, who had fought Wang Yue for a long time without showing any signs of weakness, was now exhausted and even looked a little pale. Clearly, suppressing the sleeping woman was not an easy task.

Although the woman’s charm was once again suppressed by Xuanji’s true energy, the feeling from just now remained deeply in Wang Yue’s heart. When he looked at the woman again, he still felt a faint impulse.

She’s born with a seductive charm!

Wang Yue didn’t know if this sleeping woman was the one described in the legends, but she definitely deserved those four words, and even those four words were not enough to describe her.

It was a kind of charm that lured the deepest impulses of a man’s soul. Without the suppression of her true energy, she simply lay there quietly, doing nothing, and that was enough to make any man who saw her disregard everything else.

In terms of arousing Wang Yue’s sexual desire, she was second only to Su Mengyan. This was only because Su Mengyan was both the most beautiful woman in history and his biological mother. Otherwise, based on just one of these factors, even Su Mengyan might not be as attractive to Wang Yue as she was.

Wang Yue finally understood why Xuan Ji had been so unsettled earlier. After all, this was a woman who could lure even a true Buddha into the demonic path. Xuan Ji had been facing her for sixteen years, yet he had managed to remain composed, which was already quite remarkable. Being affected by her mental state was nothing to him.

“Now you understand, young friend,” Xuanji said weakly.

Wang Yue nodded.

Yang Cancan asked curiously, “Understand what? What kind of riddle are you playing?”

In her view, Xuanji simply waved his hand, then inexplicably stretched out his palms and held a strange pose for a long time, and nothing else changed.

“This woman is quite extraordinary,” Wang Yue explained cryptically, knowing in his heart that the sleeping woman’s charm only worked on men, but not on women.

He then asked Xuanji, “For the past ten years or so, has the master been using his true energy to suppress her condition?”

“Not bad,” Xuanji nodded.

“Master, have you tried to examine her body to see if there’s anything unusual about it?” Wang Yue asked again.

Xuanji shook his head and said, “This humble monk did have such thoughts, but I never dared to touch her. Even when I brought her here, I used my true energy to bring her from a distance.”

Wang Yue understood. With Xuanji’s realm, he had long since reached the point of ignoring the physical body. Even a peerless beauty was no different from a skeleton in his eyes. The reason he had never touched the body of a sleeping woman was not because he couldn’t, but because he dared not.

After all, he was already so greatly affected just by being near her. If he were to touch her body directly, who knows what might happen? If he couldn’t control himself, all his cultivation in this life would be ruined.

“So, Master, you told me about her situation, is that…” Wang Yue couldn’t help but ask.

Xuanji said, “That’s right, this humble monk intends to entrust this female benefactor to you, young friend, for your care.”

“Give it to me, Master She?” Wang Yue asked with some surprise. This sleeping woman is an unparalleled treasure. Not to mention her amazing charm, just the fact that she can enhance the physical strength of martial artists is enough to make any martial artist go crazy for her.

“Cultivation or physical body, they are all external. For this humble monk, the Dharma is everything,” Xuanji said. “Moreover, this female benefactor’s condition is getting worse. At first, this humble monk could suppress it once a month, but now, it needs to be suppressed almost every three days, and it is even starting to show signs of being unable to suppress it. Once it can no longer be suppressed, her aura will spread out, affecting at least a radius of several miles. The consequences will be unimaginable. Young friend, the quality of your true energy far surpasses that of this humble monk, and your cultivation is not much different. Therefore, it should be much easier for you to take care of her.”

“Master, are you inquiring whether I come from a sacred place in the martial arts world? Could it be that you had this in mind from the beginning?” Wang Yue asked.

Xuanji nodded: “That’s right, only the Holy Land has stronger experts who can continue to help her suppress it.”

“Has the master considered what would happen if he handed her over to someone else and that person didn’t have your composure?” Wang Yue asked again.

Xuanji smiled bitterly: “This humble monk has naturally thought about it, but this is a last resort. Otherwise, if this humble monk could no longer suppress her and she were left to wander outside, young friend, imagine what would happen.”

Following Xuanji’s train of thought, Wang Yue gasped in shock: if this woman were to be revealed to the world, and her charm were to be displayed without restraint, it would surely cause a bloodbath, and she herself would likely become a plaything for one powerful figure after another.

In comparison, sending her to a holy place, even if it would harm her, is far better than killing her or letting her cause a catastrophe.

Wanting to save the woman’s life while also avoiding causing turmoil in the world, it must be said that Xuanji was truly compassionate.

Over the years, he had spared no effort in expending his true energy to suppress the woman for this purpose, but in return, he achieved the ability to cultivate both body and spirit. It can be considered a reward for his good deeds.

Wang Yue had no problem accepting this “task”. Even if the woman did not have the “effect” of enabling people to cultivate both body and mind, suppressing the spread of her charm would be a piece of cake for Wang Yue.

Even if she couldn’t suppress it, it wouldn’t matter. After all, she was the only man in the entire Wang family manor, and it was located in the suburbs with no other houses around. Even if her alluring aura spread, it wouldn’t affect anyone.

Moreover, it would be a lie to say that Wang Yue had no feelings for such a charming woman. If he could wake her up…

Therefore, without much consideration, Wang Yue nodded in agreement: “Since it is an act of saving a life, then I will do my duty without hesitation. Master, rest assured, I will not allow anyone to touch her before she wakes up.”

“Young friend, you have a kind heart. This humble monk thanks you.” Xuanji put his hands together and bowed to Wang Yue. He immediately seemed much more relaxed. Clearly, this woman had put a lot of pressure on him over the years, especially recently.

Wang Yue glanced again at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed and couldn’t help but marvel at her good fortune in meeting such a truly enlightened monk as Xuanji. Otherwise, she would probably have been played with like a doll long ago.

After agreeing, Wang Yue added, “I still have matters to attend to in Kaifeng, so this woman will need to stay with you for a while longer. When I return, I will take her with me.”

“Of course,” Xuanji immediately agreed, without asking what Wang Yue needed to do or offering any help. This was the unlovable thing about people from outside the secular world—they weren’t enthusiastic enough.
