Chapter 1617: Instructing Luo Xuanqing

Emerging from the spatial rift, Luo Qiqi returned to the Luo family and went back to her own room.

She had thought that Zhang Xuan's visit this time was to marry her, and was overjoyed, never dreaming in her wildest fantasies that it would end like this.

Overwhelmed with grief, her emotions surged, and unexpectedly, her fusion with the Still Void Pearl became more complete, her control advancing a step further.

Just then, the Hundred Schools of Thought came to challenge, but she was comprehending the power of the Still Void Pearl and had no time to leave. By the time she finished her comprehension, the clan's affairs had already been handled. Only then did she tear through space, catch up with them, and teach them a lesson.

Regardless, she was a member of the Luo family and could not stand by idly while they were bullied.

This Luo Tianya is indeed a genius. Without the Still Void Pearl, he still managed to comprehend the True Solution of Sealing... With him around, the Luo family's hearts are united. Whether I am here or not hardly matters...

Her spirit spread, sensing the succession ceremony outside, and Luo Qiqi smiled softly.

She had thought that even in her sorrow, today's events had started because of her, and the Luo family still needed her support, so she had to shoulder the responsibility... But suddenly, Luo Tianya appeared, and she no longer needed to worry.

In that case, I will go seek my own happiness!

Raising her eyebrows, she stood up.

All along, she had been passive, even accepting the clan's arranged marriage for the sake of humanity without objection.

Now, she only wanted to fight for her own feelings, no longer willing to remain passive.

So what if she is Teacher Luo?

She, Luo Qiqi, was in no way inferior. If she could win Zhang Xuan's heart, so could I!

Having made her decision, she suddenly relaxed.

Thinking of her teacher's attitude and expression when she left, she smiled slightly, shook her body, walked out of the room, and flew straight into the sky, soon disappearing from sight.

……

"This is the method for comprehending the True Solution of Sealing. Watch it now, and if there's anything you don't understand, I'll guide you!"

In a spacious room, Zhang Xuan pointed his finger and transmitted the modified Heavenly Dao technique to Luo Xuanqing.

He had come precisely for this, so naturally he wouldn't be stingy.

However, the Heavenly Dao technique, aside from him, no one could learn, so he had to modify it. As for how much could be comprehended, that depended on Luo Xuanqing's talent and ability.

"Thank you, teacher..."

Sensing the knowledge that had appeared in his mind, Luo Xuanqing was so excited he could hardly contain himself and knelt down.

As the most core member of the Luo family, he had studied the complete inheritance of Sealed Space, but... compared to the knowledge the other had imparted, it was far inferior.

A world of difference.

To impart such a powerful technique without reservation—this kindness, even if not that of a formal master, surpassed it.

"I said, I am not your teacher..."

Zhang Xuan quickly helped him up.

"Though I haven't formally taken you as my master, I have received your teacher's kindness. Please accept it, or else I will be uneasy and dare not learn!" Luo Xuanqing said.

"Well... very well!"

Seeing the other's earnest attitude that brooked no refusal, Zhang Xuan had no choice but to nod.

On the Master Teacher Continent, the tradition of master-disciple inheritance was strict. Accepting the other's knowledge meant incurring a teacher's kindness, and the rites could not be abandoned; otherwise, the teacher would cease to be a teacher.

Seeing his agreement, Luo Xuanqing knelt again and was about to kowtow when he heard the voice of "Master's Wife" from not far away.

"Having accepted the teacher's kindness, you must not use the knowledge you've learned to strike against the teacher; otherwise, you will suffer backlash from the power of the Master Teacher Hall. Do you understand this..."

"Of course!"

Luo Xuanqing nodded.

Although the master-disciple tradition was strict, betrayals of the sect still occurred. Therefore, the Hall of Masters had established a rule: anyone with the status of a master who, after receiving the grace of teaching, used that knowledge to oppose their teacher would suffer a backlash of power.

This was recorded in the rules of masters. Anyone who became a master had to take an oath, subject to the supervision of the Hall of Masters.

"Good that you know!"

Nodding, Luo Ruoxi said no more.

"Rest assured, Mistress. I, Luo Xuanqing, will never in this life lay a hand on the teacher. If I truly dared to do so, without the Hall of Masters needing to speak, I would cripple my own cultivation..." Luo Xuanqing raised his brows.

This Luo Tianya before him was an elder of the clan, and had even imparted the true interpretation of sealing that he had comprehended. As his inheritor, he could never betray him, no matter what.

After speaking and completing the ritual, Luo Xuanqing finally stood up.

Although this did not count as a direct discipleship, it still established a master-disciple bond, making him half a student of the other.

Hum!

As he knelt, Zhang Xuan's mind stirred, and another golden book appeared. Knowing it emerged only because of gratitude, Zhang Xuan said nothing.

Spending several hours understanding it and carefully inquiring about what he didn't grasp, Luo Xuanqing finally integrated the knowledge thoroughly only when the sky outside grew bright.

"Since you understand, cultivate slowly. Barring accidents, you should be able to comprehend the true interpretation within a month!"

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The simplified version of the Heavenly Dao technique was indeed not as swift as the complete one, but with his personal guidance and explanations of the pitfalls in cultivation, it was still possible to make him break through within a month.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Luo Xuanqing quickly clasped his fists.

He could also sense that practicing according to the teacher's method would lead to relatively fast comprehension.

"May I ask, Teacher, how long did it take you to comprehend the true interpretation?"

After cultivating for a while, he indeed felt great progress. Unable to contain himself any longer, Luo Xuanqing was filled with curiosity.

Not only could he comprehend the true interpretation of sealing that only ancestors could grasp, but he had also created such a fine technique, allowing this young man, who was not originally very strong, to break through in a month. How profound must this teacher's understanding of space be?

How long had it taken him to comprehend the true interpretation?

"Me?"

Zhang Xuan frowned: "Let me think..."

After saying this, he paused for about a few seconds: "Hmm, about this long!"

Luo Xuanqing was instantly stunned, his worldview on the verge of collapse: "Teacher, do you mean... only a few seconds?"

"Something like that, maybe a bit longer. I don't remember clearly. When I was cultivating, I couldn't feel the passage of time..."

Zhang Xuan stroked his chin.

At that time, he was trapped in space sand, unable to advance or leave. With no other option, he had to collect books and try to comprehend the fourth level of the Void Space Scripture to seal the space sand.

Calculating the time, it indeed wasn't long—probably just a few seconds.

"I..."

Luo Xuanqing was utterly dejected.

He had thought that spending a month's effort to comprehend the true interpretation would make him powerful, but he never expected this teacher to be even more freakish—comprehending it in a few seconds...

Damn it, was he even human?

"Go cultivate! Strive to break through early and gain greater strength!"

Seeing his expression, Zhang Xuan helplessly shook his head.

I was just stating the facts... Can't you handle the blow?

"Yes!" Knowing he couldn't compare with the teacher, Luo Xuanqing withdrew.

Seeing him leave, Zhang Xuan turned to Luo Qianzhen nearby, his eyes gleaming: "Does our clan have any insights or methods for breaking through to the Great Sage? Where are they kept?"

He had already reached the peak of the Saint Realm's ninth level for nearly a day—quite a long time. It was time to break through!
