I Fabricated the Techniques, but My Disciple Really Mastered Them?

This was even more shocking than when Xu Yan initially subdued the dragon.

A Divine Venerate Martial Artist, yet shortly after arriving at the Divine Realm, was slain by Xu Yan?

It must be known that the strength of the arriving Divine Venerate far surpassed that of the young dragon.

In this short time, Xu Yan’s strength had increased substantially again, an unprecedented rate of growth.

In a certain place in the Divine Realm, at this moment, Tian Shiqi felt his scalp tingle!

The death of Yin Jue Supreme Sovereign hadn’t even left him so terrified and on edge.

After all, Yin Jue died at the hands of a Realm Master, which wasn’t something to be very shocked about; a mere Supreme Sovereign, no matter how strong his stealth, was unable to withstand the power of a Realm Master.

But the news of Xu Yan’s slaying of a Divine Venerate left Tian Shiqi trembling with fear.

No one understood better than he how Xu Yan had risen step by step, his monster-like brilliance going beyond imagination.

Back in the Nine Mountain Realm, Xu Yan’s strength was not even equal to that of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, but now, he had already slain a Divine Venerate!

How much time had passed since then?

Such a small amount of time, for most Martial Artists above the Divine Refinement Realm, wasn’t even enough to break through a minor realm.

And Xu Yan, his strength once inferior to an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, had grown to the point of slaying a Divine Venerate!

Such cultivation speed, and such a rate of strength enhancement, could no longer be described as monstrous.

“In ten years, decades, wouldn’t Xu Yan be able to slay a Realm Master?”

Tian Shiqi couldn’t help but murmur to himself.

The more he thought, the more his scalp tingled, and his heart trembled. If Xu Yan discovered that he had conspired against him, the consequences were unpredictable.

“No, I can’t let him continue to grow, otherwise in a decade, decades, wouldn’t even Lord Heavenly Slaughter be unable to match him?”

Thinking of this, Tian Shiqi couldn’t sit still any longer.

“If one Divine Venerate isn’t enough, what about three? What about five or six?”

With a flicker in his eyes, Tian Shiqi decided, even if it angered the formidable Realm Master behind Xu Yan, it was necessary to kill him in the cradle.

Otherwise, the consequences were unpredictable.

“The Divine Venerates arriving in the Divine Realm this time are not just one or two, some are even Loose Cultivators, and there are a few weak-realm Divine Venerates. Xu Yan’s Subduing Dragon Technique, his powerful martial arts, and even his secret techniques that break through shackles, are all highly tempting…”

Tian Shiqi began to scheme in his heart.

He couldn’t act personally; it was far too dangerous for him.

But he could incite and provoke other powerful Divine Venerates to act, especially those troubled by martial arts bottlenecks who found it hard to break through. For even a sliver of breakthrough opportunity, they’d be willing to take risks.

Moreover, with multiple Divine Venerates joining forces, it wouldn’t even qualify as much of a risk; these Divine Venerate Martial Artists would undoubtedly be willing to take a shot.

“There are several Divine Venerates this time who have been desperate for breakthrough opportunities, trapped at the late Divine Venerate level for a long time. One is almost going mad for the breakthrough to the Supreme Sovereign Realm; they can all be used well.”

Images of certain Divine Venerate Martial Artists arriving in the Divine Realm this time floated through Tian Shiqi’s mind.

Manipulating and utilizing major realm Divine Venerates was difficult, but Loose Cultivator Divine Venerates and those from small realms, especially those tirelessly seeking breakthrough opportunities, were much easier to exploit and were more willing to take the plunge.

“This matter cannot be handled by me directly. This time, there’s also a Divine Venerate from the Heavenly Slaughter Realm; let Seventy-Six handle these tasks.”

Soon, Tian Shiqi finalized his choice.

Swaying Divine Venerates to encircle and kill Xu Yan was far too dangerous; Tian Shiqi couldn’t afford people knowing that he was behind the scheme.

So, he had to find a scapegoat.

Even if they ultimately failed to kill Xu Yan, and the matter leaked, Xu Yan wouldn’t come for him immediately but would take it out on the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow.

“I’m just a minor figure, I must make myself a minor figure, insignificant at that, so even if one day Lord Heavenly Slaughter is killed, it will be hard for me, this small fry, to be targeted…”

Tian Shiqi muttered to himself, starting to scheme on how to lower his role within the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow.

But this was for the external image; as for Lord Heavenly Slaughter, he must still be seen as a subordinate worth nurturing.

Achieving this wasn’t easy; on the one hand, making outsiders think he was an insignificant small fry, yet appearing to Lord Heavenly Slaughter as a capable, noteworthy subordinate.

Balancing the two wasn’t easy, though Tian Shiqi knew that to secure his life, he had to proceed this way.

“In case… in case Lord Heavenly Slaughter falls, can I, at a critical moment, defect to Xu Yan, betray Lord Heavenly Slaughter, secure my life, and be noticed as someone who turned their back on the dark for the light?”

Tian Shiqi pondered how to secure his life when faced with various potential future problems.

“First, complete this matter, whether or not Xu Yan can be killed.”

Tian Shiqi began to take action, “Seventy-Six is simple-minded, with a bit of setup, he will go for it, and I can stay out of it, even if he is exposed and captured by Xu Yan, he won’t know it was a setup on my part.”

As the news of the dragon-subduing prodigy Xu Yan, who killed a Divine Venerate in the Azure Sea Sphere, spread like a storm across the Divine Realm, somewhere, five Divine Venerates gathered.

“We’re all here for Xu Yan, for breaking through bottlenecks. Since we are to join forces, terms must be agreed on beforehand, to avoid disputes and hurting our harmony later.”

An elderly Divine Venerate with white hair, wearing a mask to hide his appearance, said in a deep voice.

“Naturally!”

The other four Divine Venerate Martial Artists, also wearing masks, did not reveal their true faces.

“Rumor has it that Xu Yan’s Subduing Dragon Technique is more than just subduing dragons; it’s a powerful martial art capable of breaking through the Divine Venerate Realm’s shackles. I am here for this technique, and I believe you all are as well.”

Another Divine Venerate Martial Artist spoke up.

“Then we are agreed. From the techniques obtained from Xu Yan, each makes a copy, and if there are treasures we fancy, we shall divide them equally. If the treasures can’t be evenly divided, then whoever is stronger, whoever contributes more, will get the treasure, how about that?”

The white-haired Divine Venerate laid out the distribution plan.

“Let it be so!”

The five Divine Venerate Martial Artists, after discussion, tacitly agreed and immediately set off for the Azure Sea Sphere.

Not long after the five Divine Venerates departed, a figure silently appeared, masked with a gloomy face.

“Tian Shiqi is truly useless, unable to seize the opportunity. Once I obtain the Subduing Dragon Technique and present it to the superior, Tian Shiqi’s position should rightfully be mine.”

With a movement, quietly and silently, he followed the five Divine Venerate Martial Artists secretly.

“Five Divine Venerates, plus Seventy-Six, can Xu Yan still withstand them?”

Somewhere at a distance, Tian Shiqi thought secretly.

“If the Divine Venerates aren’t enough, then only waiting for a Supreme Sovereign to arrive will do. But as for dealing with Xu Yan, I can’t continue to delve any deeper, must leave a way out for myself.”

Tian Shiqi calculated in his heart.

In the Azure Sea Sphere, Xu Yan’s slaying of a Divine Venerate shook the Divine Realm. The master of Yuntian Island and other strong figures all respectfully visited Xu Yan, hoping to build a connection.

“Brother Xu, we shall meet again in the Qinghua state!”

On this day, Xie Lingfeng bid farewell to Xu Yan and set off for the Qinghua state.

“Alright!”

Xu Yan nodded.

The Xie Lingfeng family left Yuntian Island, embarking on their journey to the Qinghua state.

Meanwhile, Xu Yan, having bid farewell to the master of Yuntian Island and the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe, prepared to contact the Azure Sea Turtle after leaving Yuntian Island.

Now that he was in the Domain Realm, grasping the Rhythms of Domain wasn’t difficult for him.

Moreover, Xu Yan also wished to gain more information on the Taicang Domain and the outer Imperishable Land from the Azure Sea Turtle.

Even, perhaps, the great opportunity mentioned by the Azure Sea Turtle. Perhaps obtaining this opportunity could grant him insight into the mysteries of the Creation Realm.

Walking above the Azure Sea, Xu Yan suddenly halted, carrying a slight mockery in his words, “Even a Divine Venerate Martial Artist hides like this, afraid to show themselves?”

Five figures closed in, their auras powerful, each one’s strength was no less than that of the Yunluo Realm Divine Venerate, even a bit stronger.

“Are you Xu Yan?”

Asked the white-haired Divine Venerate in a deep voice.

“I am!”

Xu Yan said calmly, “Here again for the Subduing Dragon Technique?”

“Since you already know our purpose, hand over the Subduing Dragon Technique. We will not make things difficult for you.”

The white-haired Divine Venerate’s eyes narrowed, his aura bursting forth, revealing his threatening intent as he spoke.
