"Hmm?"

Xu Yunxi fell into deep thought upon hearing this, then solemnly nodded her head and uttered a keyword: "Time Sense."

"That's right."

Ye Qingzhou nodded with satisfaction: "Your Sword Heart has been finely honed, and with the Innate Geng Metal Sword Qi in your body, you were able to grasp the charm and intricacies of the earlier sword."

The legacy of the Divine Feather Sword Emperor is divided into three main parts.

The first part, and also the most important, is the Heart Sword Secret Technique, which is the core Heart Method inheritance involving the Path of Time, possessing infinite potential.

The second part is the Infinite Sword that Ye Qingzhou had previously obtained. This Sword Skill involves the Path of Yin, where the Sword Qi is born from extreme Yin and Yang, exceptionally soft yet boundlessly enduring.

And the third part is the Linjiang Xu Clan's martial arts inheritance, the 'Formless Sword Scripture,' which touches on the Space Path. At its highest realm, it can use Geng Metal Sword Qi to split heaven and earth, cut through Qian and Kunn, and manifest the 'Ten Thousand Swords Formless' mental imagery that once dominated the Ancient Era.

If these three powers are perfectly mastered, one could become the second Divine Feather Sword Emperor, truly inheriting the mantle of the Sword Emperor and becoming the king of the Feather Race.

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou finally saw through the layout of the Sword Emperor, so he said to Xu Yunxi, "I have my own path to follow, so the Sword Emperor's legacy can only be inherited by you two sisters."

Then, through the Heart-to-Heart Secret Technique, Ye Qingzhou searched the sea of consciousness in the Spiritual Realm for the missing parts of the 'Formless Sword Scripture' and passed them to Xu Yunxi.

"This is the complete version of the 'Formless Sword Scripture.' I've continuously modified and refined the Infinite Sword, and its power should reach new heights. Combined with the Heart Sword Secret Technique, it should be enough for you to advance all the way to the Martial God Realm."

"You're giving such an important Cultivation Technique to me just like that?"

Xu Yunxi's heart was pounding, overcome with emotion.

This set of three-in-one Cultivation Techniques, as long as one's aptitude isn't too poor and with sufficient resources, reaching the Martial Saint Realm wouldn't be difficult.

Even advancing to the Martial God Realm, the success rate is greatly improved.

For a Martial Arts Family, such an inherited Cultivation Technique is absolutely not for outsiders and is only for their direct descendants to study.

"Otherwise? Cultivation Techniques are created for people to learn, and these things originally belonged to you two sisters. I'm merely returning them to their rightful owner."

Although Ye Qingzhou had not mastered the Path of Cause and Effect, he could still sense the trend and changes of Heaven's Will.

Don't think that the Path of Man takes from the inadequate to provide for the abundant, because the 'Path of Man' is still under the 'Path of Heaven,' where the Path of Heaven reduces the surplus to make up for the insufficient!

Therefore, the opportunities and fortunes between heaven and earth are limited; overconsumption and monopolization are not favorable.

If you take too much benefit, you'll bear an equal amount of cause and effect. If you can't bear it, you'll face great misfortune.

If Ye Qingzhou were to take all of the Divine Feather Sword Emperor's inheritance without sharing, the Feather Race certainly wouldn't let it go easily, and he would be in big trouble.

Instead, by copying the Sword Emperor's inheritance and passing it to Xu Yunxi and Xu Yuebing, this would best resolve this cause and effect because Xu Yunxi and Xu Yuebing also carry the bloodline of the eight great Phoenix Royal Families of the Feather Race, eliminating any hidden dangers invisibly.

"Gaining benefits without a speck of dust or cause and effect, I am indeed exceedingly wise."

Ye Qingzhou felt quite self-satisfied.

However, Xu Yunxi had no idea that these opportunities were originally hers, only snatched by Ye Qingzhou earlier, and now, after taking full advantage, barely returned.

For this, she was gratefully moved to tears.

After a while, Xu Yunxi excitedly found Ye Qingzhou with her phone: "Your top 500 ranking has been updated."

The phone clearly displayed the relevant information.

Name: Ye Qingzhou

Nationality: Dongji Kingdom

Age: 18

World Ranking: 317

Record: In the Celestial Sword Cup, defeated Luo Jue of the Soaring Stream Sword with just one strike, with Sword Speed fast beyond imagination.

Rankings rose by more than a hundred places!

"They updated it pretty quickly."

Ye Qingzhou was in a great mood upon seeing his updated ranking.

Rising in the rankings meant he was one step closer to participating in the world Martial Arts Championship.

Xu Yunxi was happy for Ye Qingzhou as well: "In the absence of Martial Saints playing in person, the Celestial Sword Cup is one of the top martial arts events, so it attracts a lot of attention. Luo Jue is also a rising star Silver Level swordsman in Europe, having defeated many seasoned European experts. By defeating him with one sword, your ranking naturally soared."

Ye Qingzhou's eyes lit up at this, and he cast his gaze towards the guest seats, rubbing his chin as he considered Montano and Aurora.

"By the way, they should have quite a few points on them, right?"

"???

Xu Yunxi was helplessly amused: "Oh boy, the competition isn't even over, and you're already planning to take on the judges too?"

Simultaneously, Montano and Aurora both felt a chill wash over them, a cold sensation rising from their tailbones to their Celestial Spirits, as if they were being watched by some monstrous beast.

"Hmm?!"

The two exchanged a silent glance and, confirming it wasn't the other playing tricks, turned away as if nothing had happened. However, their hearts were filled with doubts: 'What's going on? Why would my senses instinctively warn me?'

Once the morning competition ended and they were about to leave, they finally understood who was the source of their sudden intuition.

"Please, hold on."

Ye Qingzhou approached them with a grin: "The 'Wave Swordsmanship' from Rapids Castle and the 'Frosty Heaven and Snowy Earth' from the Winter Palace are both treasures of European Martial Arts, which I greatly admire. So I'm here to seek your guidance, and I'm sure you won't disappoint, right?"

At these words, the entire venue erupted.

The previously turned-off cameras immediately sprang to life, with lenses focused on this scene.

"Whoa!"

"Is Ye Qingzhou not satisfied after beating the other contestants and now wants to take on the judges too?"

"Montano ranks second on the European Swordsman List, World Rank 23, while Aurora ranks third on the European Swordsman List, World Rank 26. These young Silver Grandmasters are anything but weak."

"Exactly, isn't it? Ye Qingzhou just defeated one Luo Jue and he's already so full of himself? Can't he just settle down and reflect?"

Many were anxious, being too afraid their own Martial Arts prodigy might lose to the European Martial Arts prodigy.

Even among Grandmaster Levels, the differences can be vast!

Especially for those ranked in the top thirty Grandmasters, each of them is a pillar from martial arts holy lands across the Blue Star, peerless prodigies. Their victories and losses not only signify their personal outcomes but often foretell the rise and fall of their nation's fortune.

At that moment, the area where the three were located was eerily quiet amidst the turbulent crowd, with only an unusual tension in the air.

Montano and Aurora exchanged glances and settled their eyes, each pondering intensely: 'What is going on? Why is my mind warning of danger?' 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

When the morning competition finally concluded and they were about to leave, they understood the source of their sudden premonition.

"Please wait."

Ye Qingzhou approached them smiling: "I've long been admiring the 'Wave Swordsmanship' of Rapids Castle and the 'Frosty Heaven and Snowy Earth' of the Winter Palace, so I've come to ask for advice. I am sure neither of you will disappoint me."

With these words, all present broke out in an uproar.

The cameras, which had just been turned off, immediately sprang back to life, their lenses pointed straight at them.

"Whoa!"

"Ye Qingzhou is already challenging the judges after defeating other competitors?"

"Montano is second on the European swordsman ranking, world-ranked 23, and Aurora is third on the European swordsman list, ranked 26th worldwide. These two young Silver Grandmasters are not weak at all."

"That's what I'm saying, Ye Qingzhou just beat Luo Jue and now he's getting too cocky. Can't he just take a moment to calm down?"

Many were anxious as the gap between Grandmasters is significant!

Especially those among the top thirty Grandmasters who are each the backbone of major Martial Arts Holy Lands on the Blue Star, peerless prodigies. Their victories and defeats signify not just their personal wins and losses, but also often foreshadow the rise and fall of the national fortunes behind them.

At this moment, the area where the three stood was strangely quiet amidst the surging waves, an eerie atmosphere prevailing between them.

Aurora, from the Northern Alliance, kindly reminded Ye Qingzhou: "You are bearing a celestial destiny. Are you sure you want to face us before you have fully grown?"

At their level and position, the duel in Martial Arts often also indicates a struggle of destiny and the consequences of such a battle can be unimaginably vast.

This is why in recent years, Martial Saint strong persons from the five great nations rarely engage each other.

Ye Qingzhou, seeking enlightenment through the sword, responded with determination: "Don't worry, I came to seek the sword, with no regrets even in life or death."

"Good, you have courage."

Aurora smiled with approval and then asked, "So, which one of us do you intend to challenge first?"

"There's no need for such formalities. Both of you can come at me together."

Ye Qingzhou earnestly issued a challenge to the two of them.
