I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Upon hearing the word "spy," Emperor Da Yue’s face changed drastically. Those sent to the Qimen Institute and Alchemical Medical Institute were highly trusted individuals.

Yet such a person turned out to be a spy—how many more spies could there be within Da Yue Country?

Even beside oneself, how many spies might be lurking?

Just the thought sent a chill through his heart.

"Your Majesty, we are not spies. We..."

Several Earth Shadow Members felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Their skills in infiltration were naturally extraordinary. To infiltrate to this extent, they had worked their way up step by step over many years.

Once suspected and scrutinized in detail, they definitely couldn’t deceive the Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

"Whether you are or not, we will know soon!"

Emperor Da Yue’s gaze was cold.

He absolutely trusted the advice of the esteemed elder.

Cheng Zhan and the head of the Tianwu Sect felt their hearts sink. One of them, a Sect Warrior stationed here, was one of the high-ranking members of the Sect.

If such a person was a spy, it was unimaginable how deeply the Sect had been infiltrated.

"Emperor Da Yue, this matter is of great importance. I must report to the Sect Master. Before that, not a single piece of information can be leaked," Cheng Zhan said gravely.

"This emperor has a grasp of the situation," nodded Emperor Da Yue.

Upon hearing this, the Earth Shadows knew they could not continue their subterfuge. In front of Emperor Da Yue and Feng Yan, both Immortal Heavenly Venerables, there was not the slightest chance of escape.

If they were subjected to a thorough investigation, the possibility of exposing their affiliated power existed.

Plop!

Suddenly, their life force abruptly weakened, their Divine Souls dissipated, and they perished on the spot, their actions decisive.

Even Emperor Da Yue, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, was too late to stop them.

Their method of self-annihilation was incredibly overbearing; once initiated, they perished instantly, their Divine Souls dissipated, making it impossible to reverse.

Apart from their Divine Souls dissipating and the ebbing of life force, their bodies quickly withered, as if dried by the wind.

All traces of their presence vanished without a trace.

Their purpose was to leave not a single clue behind!

By this point, the identity of the spies was confirmed.

Cheng Zhan and the person in charge of the Tianwu Sect could no longer sit still. They took it upon themselves to return to the Sect, where they would need to discreetly investigate each member to root out any other spies lurking within.

"Thank you for the guidance, senior!"

Emperor Da Yue respectfully bowed in the direction where Li Xuan was perceived to be.

Subsequently, he began to sweep through the Capital City of Da Yue. Before that, Emperor Da Yue and Sui Hongwu personally vetted their trusted Imperial Guards to ensure no issues. Only then did they dispatch them to secretly conduct searches.

"Master, how did you know they were spies?"

Su Lingxiu asked, her face full of curiosity.

Fang Hao also nodded, equally curious.

"Nothing can escape your teacher’s eye," Li Xuan said with a smile, then added, "If you cultivate the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path, you would also be able to detect it."

"The Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path is too profound. Although I have some understanding, I’m still just a little bit short," Su Lingxiu said with a look of helplessness.

The Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path was mysterious, and she had yet to fully comprehend it.

"Let your teacher give you some more guidance," Li Xuan said with a sigh.

Now that he possessed the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path, how to cultivate it was clear in his mind, not something made up on the spot.

And so, Li Xuan instructed Su Lingxiu and Fang Hao on how to cultivate the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path.

However, he only gave guidance, not teaching exactly how to replicate it, because it was necessary for Su Lingxiu to comprehend it herself. Perhaps the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path she would eventually uncover could have its unique features.

An Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path that belonged solely to Alchemical Medical Martial Arts.

After giving instructions to Su Lingxiu and Fang Hao, the two of them went back to continue their contemplation. When they would be able to understand and cultivate it was uncertain.

Li Xuan continued to imprint the Dao Principles of the Book of Taicang on his mind, while the creation of content for the Divine Skill Martial Code was slightly reduced, freeing up more time to perfect the system of Extreme Soul Martial Arts, as well as the Martial Arts Techniques beyond the Domain Realm.

In the Nine Mountain Realm, Meng Chong emerged from a Heavenly Grotto, evading the encirclement and took refuge in a hidden spot, beginning to consolidate himself.

"They were not from the forces of the Qinghua state, nor one of the major powers of the Nine Mountain Realm. The question is, what power is targeting me?" Meng Chong wondered.

The masked people had numerous methods, insidiously ruthless, and many within the powers of the Nine Mountain Realm had the enemy’s people hidden in their ranks.

After several assassinations, Meng Chong felt that next time, these masked people’s power might prepare to trap him in a Heavenly Grotto.

"It’s not safe to go to the Heavenly Grottos for now," Meng Chong mused, deciding to find a way to investigate the attackers’ identities.

"The eldest disciple brother was last seen at Dahai Mountain. I should head there and see if I can encounter him," Meng Chong decided and, concealing himself, set off for Dahai Mountain.

...

"I’ve finally made the breakthrough," Xu Yan emerged from his secluded cultivation, his expression relaxed.

He broke through into the Physiognomy Realm.

Upon entering the Physiognomy Realm, his strength greatly increased.

With a mere thought, a Physiognomy emerged, with the Power of Domain Laws transforming into a landscape of mountains and rivers, within which a Golden Giant Dragon coiled.

Hum!

The Yin Yang Undying Sword manifested, seeming to envelop mountains and rivers. Xu Yan’s figure disappeared into the midst of the Physiognomy, with only the powerful Physiognomy standing between heaven and earth.

"The fusion of Physiognomy and Divine Skills is truly mysterious. To harm me, one must first break through my Physiognomy. Only after breaking the Physiognomy will one truly face my original body.

"The power of Physiognomy, merged with the Principles of Heaven and Earth, in some ways, is somewhat similar to an Immortal Heavenly Venerable’s fusion with heaven and earth."
