Hua Jieyu's cultivation is the Golden Lotus Technique, which she also blood-learned from a powerhouse of the Buddhist Sect, and it suits her very well.

After passing the Ten Tribulations, however, the Golden Lotus Technique had become somewhat insufficient. Hua Jieyu hesitated, not knowing which direction she should move toward.

Gao Xuan examined Hua Jieyu's body and Divine Soul; this was also indispensable.

After all, Hua Jieyu had attained the Dao as an Alien Race, and both her Divine Soul and body were very unique.

Of course, he wouldn't delve deep to make direct contact with Hua Jieyu's Divine Soul. Even without Yun Qingxia, he wasn't particularly fond of this type of woman.

The Golden Lotus Technique itself was actually quite shallow, walking a very upright path. Hua Jieyu had, however, practiced the Golden Lotus Technique to the point of perfection. One could say she had pushed this Magic Technique to its peak.

Seeing Hua Jieyu's Golden Lotus Technique, Gao Xuan naturally thought of the Karma Fire Red Lotus.

Both likewise sought the true path amid birth and destruction, yet the vast destruction and vast vitality contained within the Karma Fire Red Lotus were not something the Golden Lotus Technique could compare to.

It was just that there were quite a few points of correspondence between the two.

In this state, Hua Jieyu had actually already walked her path to a dead end. Even if she forced herself upward, there would be no future there.

It wasn't that Gao Xuan was reluctant to teach; it was just that this path was very dangerous. Of course, he actually hoped Hua Jieyu would choose this path. That would also give him a point of reference.

He already understood a great deal about the Magic of this world. However, when it came to the living beings of this realm, he still lacked understanding.

Yun Qingxia and Hua Jieyu had both attained the Dao as Aliens; their Divine Souls were in themselves extremely special. This special quality was also extremely valuable.

Helping them with their cultivation could at the same time allow Gao Xuan to compare against himself. This could not directly increase his Power, but it could broaden his horizons and make his foundation more solid.

Gao Xuan said to Hua Jieyu, "The Golden Lotus Technique has already reached its limit; there is no possibility of further progress. I have here a 'Karma Fire Red Lotus Secret Technique' that happens to be quite compatible with you.

"It is just that this technique requires death before rebirth, repeatedly cycling between life and death. It is exceedingly dangerous…"

"Celestial Master, this disciple is willing to cultivate this technique."

When Gao Xuan finished speaking, Hua Jieyu immediately expressed her desire to cultivate this technique, without the slightest hesitation.

This decisiveness did show a measure of the bearing of a Ten Tribulation Human Immortal. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Gao Xuan nodded; since the other party was willing, it became easy to handle. He extended a finger, and the Karma Fire Red Lotus Secret Technique shot into Hua Jieyu's sea of consciousness.

Although this Secret Technique was something he had created on the spur of the moment, it had been perfected with the Formless Nine Revolutions Inference and was a very complete Secret Technique.

In terms of imagery it was derived from the Karma Fire Red Lotus, sufficiently profound. So profound that even Gao Xuan did not dare claim he had truly comprehended its mysteries.

Fortunately, the Karma Fire Red Lotus here was only used as an image; the intrinsic mysteries of the Karma Fire Red Lotus itself were not that important.

After learning the Secret Technique, Hua Jieyu immediately returned to her own room to go into seclusion and cultivate.

Yun Qingxia was quite concerned about this Fellow Daoist. After seeing Hua Jieyu off, she asked Gao Xuan, "Fellow Daoist Hua won't run into trouble, will she?"

"The risks of this technique are considerable, so it's hard to say."

Gao Xuan said, "However, I find her very decisive and steadfast, and her own Divine Soul is in harmony with this technique. She has a seventy to eighty percent chance of succeeding."

Yun Qingxia said, "Fellow Daoist Hua may be somewhat unconstrained in minor matters, but her nature is very proud and self-respecting. She is a true cultivator."

"Having reached this step, no matter how she chooses, she should calmly accept the consequences. There's no need to worry for her."

Gao Xuan gently took Yun Qingxia's fair hand. "The Celestial Mandate is inconstant. We of the cultivation path can only do our utmost to grasp ourselves, nothing more."

For some reason, Yun Qingxia felt there was quite a bit of wistfulness in Gao Xuan's words.

The omnipotent Celestial Master seemed not to be truly omnipotent.

This also stirred pity in Yun Qingxia's heart. She did not know how she could help Gao Xuan; she could only do her best to offer him her tenderness.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye several years passed; the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat also entered the East Sea's domain.

After entering the East Sea's domain, the most obvious change was that there were always all kinds of cultivators to be seen in the sky.

Some were riding Flying Swords, some piloting Flying Boats, some mounted on Fei He cranes, some riding the wind and driving the clouds; the sky suddenly became bustling.

On the islands scattered over the sea surface, one could also see all sorts of buildings and all kinds of races and living beings.

This lively scene was something the North Sea did not have.

The North Sea was icy cold, ordinary living beings could not survive there. There were no fishermen to speak of, only various fish spirits and Water Monsters in the seawater.

Ninety-nine percent of the cultivators on the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat were visiting the East Sea for the first time. Seeing such a bustling sight, they all felt their horizons had greatly expanded.

On this day, the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat arrived at Celestial Dragon Island.

Celestial Dragon Island was an ultra-large Floating Island occupied by the East Sea Dragon Race, and this island was also the external palace of the East Sea Dragon Race.

The true Dragon Palace lay deep within the East Sea; only the East Sea Dragon Race and their direct subordinates were qualified to enter.

As the hegemon of the Eastern Province, the East Sea Dragon Race maintained extensive ties with the Eastern States and the various Major Sects.

All external affairs of the East Sea Dragon Race would be handled on Celestial Dragon Island.

Therefore, although Celestial Dragon Island sat off to the side above the East Sea, it was actually the most important cultivator hub of the Eastern Province.

The very first Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly had been held on Celestial Dragon Island; that was how it came by the name Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly.

Because of Celestial Dragon Island's special nature, all the various Sects, the many powerful Alliance-type organizations of cultivators, and so on, would all send people to be permanently stationed on Celestial Dragon Island.

As more and more people gathered on Celestial Dragon Island, it naturally formed a vast cultivator market.

The cultivator market, in turn, attracted even more cultivators. Celestial Dragon Island thus became increasingly lively.

From a distance, one could see an inverted-cone-shaped Floating Island drifting more than a thousand zhang up in the air.

On the Floating Island were mountains, rivers, and lakes, and buildings of all different styles. Above the Floating Island, flocks of Fei He cranes and spirit birds were circling and soaring back and forth.

The outer layer of the Floating Island was wrapped in a faint layer of Golden Light. Looking closely, one would discover that the Golden Light just happened to form a gigantic Golden Dragon, wrapping around the entire island.
