In the Crystal Palace at the very center of the Stormwind Kingdom.
This is the royal palace of the Stormwind Kingdom in the Stormy Seas.
Outside the Crystal Palace, there exists a Sea-Pillar that has long suppressed the seabed.
Just as the Crossing Boat bearing Qinchuan entered the Sea of Storms, that very Sea-Pillar began to tremble violently.
The tremor of the Sea-Pillar instantly alerted all sea creatures in the Crystal Palace to an anomaly.
"What's going on? Why would the Sea-Pillar suddenly quake?" In the Crystal Palace, an old dragon was utterly shocked.
"This Divine Pillar hasn't for a hundred thousand years..."
The old dragon suddenly thought of sothing and his expression changed drastically.
"Could it be..."
...
For several days in a row, Qinchuan and the others were crossing the sea.
On this day, just as Qinchuan stepped out of his room, Ye Shiyi approached him.
"Master, why have I been feeling uneasy lately while cultivating the Xuan Ming Night Demon Technique?"
Qinchuan had taught Ye Shiyi two ntal thods, and this Xuan Ming Night Demon Technique was indeed a Ghost Tribe Heart thod.
Ordinary people are unable to cultivate the Ghost Tribe Heart thod, and when Qinchuan passed it on, he did not expect Ye Shiyi to achieve much.
With a glance from his Innate Pupils, Qinchuan saw at once what the problem was with Ye Shiyi.
He admired inwardly, "This youngster's talent is stronger than what he outwardly shows."
Although Ye Shiyi possessed Ghost Tribe bloodline, after countless generations, it had beco very weak. Now, as he rapidly advanced in his cultivation of the Xuan Ming Night Demon Technique, he was affected by the Human Race Heart thod.
The Spirit Dragon Heart thod is a Pure Yang Technique, carrying formidable Qi of righteousness, while the Xuan Ming Night Demon Technique is a Dark Spirit Technique, every aspect of the thod reeking of sinister energy.
The speed at which Ye Shiyi cultivated the Xuan Ming Night Demon Technique was obviously faster than that of the Spirit Dragon Heart thod, which caused the Pure Yang Qi within him to be suppressed invisibly. The Spirit Dragon Technique resisted this, hence his feeling of palpitations.
Qinchuan said, "First, don't call master; you have not yet t the standards for to take you as a disciple. You may call 'Young Master' like the others."
"Yes, Young Master," Ye Shiyi replied without asking why, saying so softly with a hint of dejection in his eyes.
It was then that Qinchuan continued.
"Second, as you are cultivating two conflicting techniques at the sa ti, the two types of Qi will vie for dominance within your body. It is normal to feel ntally uneasy from ti to ti. As you progress, you might even encounter situations where the two energies clash with each other.
If you wish to avoid this, there are indeed two thods available to you right now."
"What are the two thods?" asked Ye Shiyi ekly.
"One is to make use of the fact that the ntal thods have not yet been fully cultivated, and choose one of the two that I have passed on to you to continue cultivating, while discarding the other. From then on, focusing solely on a single thod will prevent further influence."
"The other is to continue cultivating both the Spirit Dragon Heart thod and the Xuan Ming Night Demon Technique, but you must ensure that the two thods remain closely matched in strength. If one becos far superior to the other, your life will be at grave risk."
"Both thods can solve your cultivation issue. As for which one to choose, the decision is entirely up to you," Qinchuan said indifferently.
"I wonder, which of these two thods will make stronger?" Ye Shiyi's dark eyes sparkled with a hint of light.
"I don't know," Qinchuan shook his head.
He truly did not know, for he had also never seen what would happen when the bloodlines of the Ghost Race and the Human Race rged, nor what the outco would be when the Human Race Heart thod and the Ghost Tribe Heart thod were cultivated simultaneously.
"However, judging by your aptitude, if you choose the first thod, no matter whether you opt for the Spirit Dragon Heart thod or the Xuan Ming Night Demon Technique, the highest achievent you can reach would be Supre Saint. As for stepping into the Emperor Realm, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens."
Ye Shiyi, of the Human Race, possessed only average talent and struggled to cultivate the Spirit Dragon Technique because it was suppressed by the Xuan Ming Night Ghost thod. Even though he inherited powerful Ghost Race blood, its presence in his veins was too faint, making it difficult for him to break through his limitations in the future.
"If you choose the second option, there is a possibility that the two heart thods can complent each other and achieve unlimited success. It's not impossible for you to shed your mortal body and attain a Divine Body. Of course, there's also the risk that they will conflict with each other, preventing you from making progress in your lifeti, or even causing you to deviate from your cultivation path and die."
"Then I choose the second thod!"
After hesitating for a while, Ye Shiyi finally made up his mind, clenched his little fist tightly, and stated resolutely.
Qinchuan nodded— he hadn't guessed wrong. This youngster would definitely not give up dual cultivation of both heart thods. When Qinchuan initially taught him the heart thod, he did so hoping to see the Spirit Dragon Technique and Xuan Ming Night Ghost thod cultivated together.
If Ye Shiyi had chosen the first thod, Qinchuan would have parted ways with him imdiately upon reaching Nanchi Continent. However, under the current circumstances, Qinchuan didn't mind having him by his side for a while longer.
The Crossing Boat continued to fly forward in the central waters of Stormwind Kingdom for several more days.
During these days, the sea was remarkably calm, and everyone was spared from attacks by Sea Beasts. Qinchuan, when not in Quiet Cultivation, provided guidance to Ye Shiyi's cultivation and occasionally gave pointers to Ye Xuanji, Ji Huo'er, and others.
On this day.
Suddenly, a loud "bang" echoed, shaking the Crossing Boat violently.
Soone had ambushed the Crossing Boat.
Hit by a Divine Skill, the vessel drifted sideways.
The Barrier that protected the Crossing Boat dimd, and the Array propelling it forward also grew faint.
The speed of the Crossing Boat slowed abruptly.
"Are we under attack by Sea Beasts?!"
Ye Xuanji and Qinchuan went up to the deck to see more and more Sea Beasts erging from the outside world.
No sooner had Ye Xuanji finished speaking,
A brilliant Palm Imprint descended from above the Crossing Boat, pressing down from the sky.
"Bang!"
The Crossing Boat ca to a complete stop.
At this mont, the sea around it was black with Sea Beasts, ferocious and nacing, encircling the vessel completely.
"It's an ancient dragon from the peak of the Supre Saint realm."
Ye Xuanji's Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil was activated, clearly discerning the strength of their opponent.
Xi Long's massive body stretched across the void, casting a shadow that blotted out the sky. True to the bloodline of ancient dragons, its Physical Body was covered in scales as hard as steel, reflecting a chilling and sinister light, nacing and dreadful.
"Was it you who killed Liu Qian and Liu Wan?"
Xi Long looked down arrogantly upon Qinchuan and Ye Xuanji, its voice filled with anger.
"With your highest Cultivation Level at only the Great Saint Interdiate Stage, you dared to kill two of my great generals," roared Xi Long, its voice booming in their ears like thunder.
"You're the power behind those two shark people?" Qinchuan glanced sidelong at Xi Long and said indifferently, "So, all this was your doing?"
"Humph, turns out you discovered it," replied Xi Long coldly.
"Actually, we wouldn't have done anything to them had they not taken the initiative to attack. But it seems they weren't very loyal to you and tried to leave you out, attempting to monopolize the treasure all for themselves," Ye Xuanji said at that mont.
A gleam shot through Xi Long's eyes upon hearing this.
Liu Qian and Liu Wan had never betrayed it, but given that the two people before it were at most at the Great Saint Interdiate Stage, it was impossible for them to see through Liu Wan's disguise.
Ye Xuanji's words about Liu Wan acting alone caused a flicker of uncertainty in its heart.
However, Xi Long looked down imperiously and said indifferently, "Even if they betrayed , they were still under my command. Since you killed them, you must pay the price."
