System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

The information contained in the Dragon Step itself wasn't much; the key was Chen Xuan's insights into the Golden Light Mantra at the Perfected Realm, including its usage techniques and how to improve it. These were all Chen Xuan's unique perspectives, so the amount of information was naturally enormous.

"I've got it! I've got the Golden Light Mantra!"

Jiang Linglong had a deep foundation, having accumulated 300 years of experience. Now, having received the true teachings and guidance from his master, he instantly attained enlightenment, feeling as if a new world had been opened for him.

"Let me see how good your comprehension is?"

Jiang Linglong nodded, then silently chanted a prayer while mobilizing the spiritual energy around her.

"Xuanzong of heaven and earth, the root of Wan Qi.

Through countless eons of cultivation, I will prove my supernatural powers.

Within and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao is supreme.

My body is bathed in golden light, which illuminates me. So be it!

As Jiang Linglong silently recited the Golden Light Mantra, his expression and tone changed, becoming incredibly cold and his voice transformed from gentle to brisk.

call--

As the command was given, golden light began to emerge from Jiang Linglong's body. Although it was not dazzling, the golden light was solid enough.

"Although there is still room for improvement before it reaches the minor mastery stage, it was already quite good for the first time."

Chen Xuan nodded, very satisfied with his disciple's comprehension, and gave him his affirmation.

"Thank you for teaching me, Master. I will not let you down!"

Chen Xuan smiled, left a sentence, and turned to leave.

"Once you have mastered the Golden Light Mantra, I will teach you the Thunder Technique."

"Practice diligently and do not slack off."

"Okay, Master, you should go eat now, it'll get really cold soon."

Jiang Linglong, holding the Yin-Yang Free and Easy Fan, happily watched Chen Xuan go to the backyard. The little girl didn't know how to hide her emotions, which made Wang Ye and the other two feel complicated.

"No way?"

Zhang Lingyu couldn't hold back any longer after Chen Xuan left.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Jiang Linglong turned to look at Zhang Lingyu with a puzzled expression.

"Was that really the first time you cast the Golden Light Divine Spell?"

Jiang Linglong nodded, "Yes, it's what Master just taught me. Didn't you all see it, big brothers?"

Jiang Linglong's large eyes were very clear; she simply didn't know how to lie.

Upon hearing this, both Wang Ye and Lu Xueqi gasped in shock.

"Junior sister, are you saying that the Golden Light Mantra was just taught to you by our senior?"

Wang Ye approached Jiang Linglong and looked her up and down. "But we didn't hear the senior teach you the incantation for the Golden Light Mantra."

If the master doesn't forbid you from saying it, then that means he tacitly allows it.

"Oh, so Master just pointed to my eyes three times and that's how he taught me?"

"Huh?" Wang Ye, Zhang Lingyu, and the other two were shocked.

"What did you say?"

"Just now, the senior pointed at you and taught you such a complicated divine incantation, and you were able to use the golden light emanating from your body without ever practicing it once?"

The three of them stared wide-eyed at Jiang Linglong.

"No, no." Jiang Linglong shook her head in denial.

Seeing this, the three of them felt a little better.

"Master's three fingers, the first finger is a complete sword technique, the second finger is a set of footwork, and the third finger is the Golden Light Divine Mantra, right?" Jiang Linglong blinked her big eyes as she looked at the three of them.

"Oh."

"what?"

"..."?

If they didn't know Jiang Linglong's character, they would never have believed that he would be struck by lightning.

"No, junior sister, you've only been a disciple for a short time, so you probably don't know how difficult it is to cultivate Taoist magic." Wang Ye felt it was necessary for him, as a senior brother of the Zhengyi sect, to correct his junior sister's unrealistic fantasies.

“That’s right, junior sister, you must not be too ambitious.” Zhang Lingyu nodded in agreement. “When I first entered the sect, it took me three years to cultivate the Golden Light Mantra to the point where it manifests golden light like yours. During that time, my master personally guided me and taught me the essence of the art, which is why I was able to achieve such rapid progress.”

“Junior Sister, what the two senior brothers said is right. Cultivating the Dao requires immersing one’s mind and carefully comprehending the great Dao of Heaven and Earth contained in each incantation. This process is extremely long.”

All three wanted to get close to Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan was very gentle with his own people, while he was very indifferent to others.

The three of them did not want to miss this opportunity, so they naturally paid great attention to Jiang Linglong, Chen Xuan's personal disciple.

Therefore, he had no choice but to carefully impart his experience in cultivating Taoist techniques.

Many disciples within the sect wished to seek their guidance, but unfortunately, none of them were able to achieve their goal.

Jiang Linglong was shocked to see that her older brothers and sisters didn't believe her, and not only did they not believe her, they didn't even believe their master.

He was still fuming and stopped explaining. He reached out and snatched the replica Celestial Master Sword from Wang Ye's hand. He turned around, his feet touching the ground, and his body moved like a spirit bird, appearing in the open space outside the Dao Ancestor's Hall.

Jiang Linglong wielded her sword with graceful movements.

"Big sister, you are also a sword cultivator, please enlighten me."

Jiang Linglong didn't want to explain anymore. She clearly received the inheritance directly through initiation, but no one believed her explanations. She could only prove it through actual combat.

"Heh, Junior Sister, you've got some nerve!" Wang Ye chuckled, looking at Lu Xueqi. "Junior Sister, your swordsmanship is profound; you must be extremely careful when sparring with me."

"Of course it won't hurt Junior Sister."

Lu Xueqi flicked a white duster, and with a whoosh, a white jade slip revealed its true form.

“Junior Sister, the sword in my hand was used by the founder of the Myriad Paths Dragon Gate when he was young. It is called the Entangling Silk Floating and Sinking Sword.”

"Please enlighten me, Senior Sister!"

Seeing Jiang Linglong's firm and confident gaze, Lu Xueqi gracefully leaped out of the Dao Ancestor's Hall.

"Senior sister doesn't bully the weak. I'll only use 30% of my strength to learn from junior sister's superior skills."

"Be careful." Jiang Linglong's sword trembled, his movements as fluid as a dragon, and during his advance, a dragon-shaped aura seemed to surround him, accompanied by a sound similar to a dragon's roar.

The sword thrust out with incredible speed, like a dragon emerging from the abyss.

"what?"

"A single move condensing sword intent?!"

Ding!

Lu Xueqi narrowly deflected Jiang Linglong's sword strike, then leaped high into the air to create distance. Looking at Jiang Linglong, who seemed to be emerging from the abyss like a dragon, her eyes were filled with seriousness.

After exchanging only one move, Wang Ye and Zhang Lingyu were able to discern the truth.

Looking back, if the three of them had understood Jiang Linglong's sword technique and unpredictable footwork when they first met her, how could Chen Jian, with his skill level, have captured her alive?

"Senior sister is indeed amazing. That sword strike just now was the fastest attacking sword in the Eight Trigrams Dragon Sword series, the Fire Sword. I didn't expect it to be blocked by senior sister so easily. I am still too weak."

Jiang Linglong was somewhat downcast when she said this, as if she was frustrated because she hadn't succeeded.

This scene made Wang Ye and his companion's lips twitch.

What do you mean?

Do you really think you can defeat Lu Xueqi, the chief disciple of Wandao Longmen, with a single sword strike using the sword moves and footwork you just learned?

Seeing Jiang Linglong's dejected expression, Lu Xueqi finally became serious.

"Senior sister, this is the strongest sword strike I can currently unleash. If you can still block it, then I won't be able to defeat you," Jiang Linglong said.

"This swordsmanship I just learned can have a secret move?" Wang Ye stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

“Junior Sister Xueqi must take this seriously,” Zhang Lingyu said, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi shook the Floating Silk Sword in her hand, and her entire aura changed accordingly. Although the sword aura was still maintained at 30% of its power, she was about to unleash her true skills.

"Alright, Senior Sister, I'm waiting for your attack!"
