Before long, Chen Dingxing came to his senses and said with a smile, "This is a good thing. Which young talent are you interested in? Is he from our Luohua City?"

Chen Lingxiang shook her head. That person... is not from Luohua City.

"He's not from Luohua City."

"Oh? Then he must be from elsewhere." Chen Dingxing said, "You really don't need to worry about this kind of thing."

"In the family, everything will be based on your wishes. Did the clan ever obstruct you when you didn't like Wu Jun before?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lingxiang bit her lip and said, "What if that person... is already married?"

Chen Dingxing's smile suddenly froze on his face.

"Lingxiang, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

"You are the apple of the Chen family's eye, with an unlimited future. There aren't many men who deserve you, but you must not choose lightly, and becoming a concubine is out of the question."

Knowing that she liked a married person, for the Chen family, and especially for her, Chen Lingxiang, who has always been held in high regard, was a shocking matter.

Chen Lingxiang was silent for a moment, then said, "I was just speaking offhandedly. Even the Wu Jun from the City Lord's Mansion and Qin Changyu from the Red Cloud Sect don't catch my eye, Father, wouldn't you say?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dingxing finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "I won't interfere in your major life decisions, but I have only one requirement... as the jewel of the Chen family, you must not become a concubine."

In the grand era of martial arts, it is normal for strong individuals to have multiple marriages, but the Chen family is a renowned Innate Clan for thousands of miles around.

Especially Chen Lingxiang, the fairy sprout of this generation of the Chen family, her beauty and talent rank among the geniuses of the Northern Territory.

If she were to become a concubine, the Chen family would be laughed at by other Innate Clans, unless the other party is a figure of great renown in the Northern Territory!

However, those who could reach such heights without relying on family or sect power, nowadays, are at least fifty or sixty years old or older.

...

Inside an abandoned wooden hut.

The cultivation technique Youluo practiced was naturally not weak. In no time, she restored her strength to its peak.

During this time, Youluo carefully examined her body and found not even a trace of toxins remaining.

She got up and walked out of the hut, looking at Lu Ye, who was sitting on a tree by the house, and said, "My lord and husband, I owe you a life. If there's anything you need in the future, just let me know. I won't decline if I can do it."

Although Lu Ye modestly said that she could force out the toxins after some time, Youluo certainly couldn't ignore Lu Ye's contribution.

Lu Ye said, "What kind of address is that? Didn't I tell you to call me by my name?"

"I'm not used to it; I still prefer to call you that way." Youluo curiously asked, "Do you also have divine techniques?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know if it counts as a divine technique, but it does consume quite a bit."

"It must be a divine technique! Otherwise, dealing with that old man Yin Wuya's Infinite Demon Eye wouldn't be so easy," Youluo said. "You're one of the most extraordinary geniuses I've ever seen."

Although she looked young, it was due to her appearance and her being part of the Nine Nether Race, which naturally had a long lifespan.

Moreover, she was gradually restoring her strength, fundamentally different from Lu Ye, who was cultivating step by step upwards.

At Lu Ye's age, being able to kill Yin Wuya, who had recovered to the Grandmaster Seventh Layer and possessed a lower-grade divine technique, was rare even among ancient races passed down through the ages.

"Could you talk about divine techniques?" Lu Ye was also somewhat curious about this aspect.

Regarding Celestial Tier Secret Manuals, there were already very few records in the Library Pavilion of the Red Cloud Sect, with only a few brief notes.

And even more mysterious divine techniques had no information at all.

Now there was someone knowledgeable here, so they could extract as much information as possible.

Youluo nodded.

"Divine techniques are even more powerful means than Celestial Tier Secret Manuals."

"But divine techniques in the world are rare and extremely precious. Even though Yin Wuya was once one of the Twelve Guardians of the Celestial Demon Divine Sect, I guess he had only two or three divine techniques, all lower grade."

"Your Celestial Tier Sword Technique vaguely has a hint of touching the threshold of lower-grade divine techniques," Youluo said. "If it could advance further, it would be a lower-grade Sword Dao divine technique."

Advance further...

Hearing this, Lu Ye was somewhat helpless.

His Heaven-Defying Three Swords had already been practiced to perfection, reaching the strongest form of the Heaven-Defying Three Swords. To go further... would require surpassing the limit.

Lu Ye asked, "Then as a follower of the Lord of the Nine Netherworld, do you also possess divine techniques?"

"Of course!" A hint of pride appeared on Youluo's cold face. "I'm not comparable to Yin Wuya. I possess one middle-grade divine technique and three lower-grade ones!"

"It's just... just that there's currently a restriction on me, allowing me to use only one."

With that, Youluo extended her hand. Instantly, wisps of ghostly light emerged from her palm, quickly coalescing into a ghostly lotus, with dark flames dancing around it.

Feeling the lotus, which was only the size of a palm, at such close range, seemed to contain the power to destroy the valley, making Lu Ye's eyelids twitch slightly.

"This is my lower-grade divine technique, the Dark Flame Flower."

Youluo said, "It's a pity that each divine technique is located in a fixed place, like the Divine Power Stele or the Divine Skill Pavilion. To acquire them, one must go to those places."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye nodded.

Such treasure techniques are even more precious than Celestial Tier Cultivation and Martial Techniques. Naturally, all factions wouldn't allow them to circulate freely.

By imprinting them in fixed locations, they cannot circulate outside at all.

"Let's stay here for a few more days. I'm about to break through and see if I can seize this opportunity to advance." After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye said.

During this time, his resources were quite sufficient.

Each time, he cultivated along with the Source Crystal, and with the hundredfold amplification, he wasn't far from reaching the Grandmaster Fifth Layer Realm.

"Alright, I'll guard you, so you can cultivate in peace," Youluo nodded at once.

...

Red Cloud Sect.

Since the Cyan Thunder Sect contracted its sphere of influence and declared a semi-seclusion, the prestige of the Red Cloud Sect and Myriad Laws Sect in the Northern Territory became increasingly stronger.

In the pavilion by the lake behind the Sect Leader Peak, the Red Cloud Fairy finished her cultivation and sat in the pavilion, somewhat lost in thought.

Ever since finally meeting that mysterious Martial Arts Grandmaster that day and having her invitation refused, Red Cloud Fairy had a feeling of restlessness after returning to the sect.

In her mind, she often recalled the words spoken by that person that day...

"Some things... once done wrong, are very difficult to return to their original state..."

The Red Cloud Fairy murmured, reflecting on whether she had done anything wrong over the years.
