"What, Fairy Qingtan has already perfected the Wood Dao Domain so quickly, and even mastered the thod to select the falling leaves of the Life and Death Tree!" exclaid Han Shu in surprise.
"Is this what they call a genius? Although she's not quite on par with Su Qin of the past, she's primarily skilled in the Path of Water!"
Realizing that her senior brother was once again fixated on Fairy Qingtan, Qiao Qian, who also comprehended the Wood Dao Domain as a cultivator of the Wood Path, couldn't help but ignore him. They were unable to deal with these leaves as well.
They, too, could use the Wood Domain to push the leaves aside, but doing so would not get them to the top of the cliff no matter how they climbed.
"Junior Sister, I want to try again."
Han Shu stood up, his gaze resolute as he spoke.
Qiao Qian also stood up and hugged her senior brother tightly.
"Senior Brother, is it so hard to admit one's diocrity? Don't go, it's just a wasted lifespan for nothing; it breaks my heart."
Feeling the softness on his back, Han Shu clenched his fists and struggled for a long, long ti before finally unclenching them and turning around to embrace his junior sister.
…
Yu Qingtan finally reached the summit of Falling Wood Cliff, her Wood Dao Domain growing even more solid.
"Do you wish to challenge the third segnt of the Chess Dao Pavilion?"
"Yes!"
As soon as her words fell, Yu Qingtan found herself in front of a pavilion with no other figures in sight.
Yu Qingtan entered, and inside the elegant pavilion was a chessboard, beside which sat a long-haired beauty with a round face that was quite charming despite its plumpness.
This person breathed evenly but emitted no spiritual power. Yu Qingtan initially wanted to greet her but then felt it was wrong and took a closer look.
"It's actually a puppet!"
Yu Qingtan clucked in amazent and took a seat opposite the puppet.
Then, this "person" began to speak, and its voice was indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person.
"Hello, I am Zhan Ge. Play twenty rounds of chess with . If I'm satisfied, you will have passed."
Yu Qingtan didn't waste any words and started to play chess.
As a result, she barely won the first ga; after that, she lost seven gas in a row.
Yu Qingtan was a bit frustrated; after she had solved the Zhènlóng chess puzzle, she had never lost, thinking she was also a saint in the Path of Chess. She did not expect to encounter her Waterloo here.
Yu Qingtan unfolded the fledgling Chess Domain, carefully pondering over the previous gas. Then in the ninth ga, she took each step with extre caution, enduring a fierce battle for two hours before winning the round with difficulty.
However, she began to lose again. After eighteen rounds, she had only won twice, with a record of two wins and sixteen losses.
Although the record did not look good, Yu Qingtan's understanding of the Path of Chess deepened significantly.
The arrangent of chess pieces requires deep planning and forethought, as well as the ability to remain humble in victory and undaunted in defeat.
Yu Qingtan imrsed herself completely in the ga, unaware that her Chess Domain had also beco fully cohesive.
Just as Yu Qingtan, with bloodshot eyes, was preparing for the next round, the puppet Zhan Ge opposite her spoke up.
"Let's stop here. I understand your level in chess; you've still got a long way to go. Go back and practice for a few more years and then return."
Although Zhan Ge's face was expressionless and its tone devoid of any emotional fluctuation, Yu Qingtan still felt sowhat humiliated and angry.
"Hmph, look down on ? I just started learning chess late. Wait till I've practiced for a few years; you'll have nothing to do with it!"
No matter what Yu Qingtan thought, her figure disappeared from the Chess Dao Pavilion.
Another platform appeared before her, along with the Enlightennt Tea.
It was contained in two teapots.
It seed that the challenge in the Chess Dao Pavilion was a failure. Yu Qingtan was slightly disappointed, but since she noticed that she had gathered a complete Chess Domain and her chess skills had greatly improved, she did not dwell on it.
```
With so excitent, she poured a cup of Enlightennt Tea and drank it in one gulp.
Sure enough, her comprehension of the Path of Water significantly improved. Yu Qingtan imdiately expanded her domain and took out the Canglan Umbrella to ditate.
...
After exhausting two pots of Enlightennt Tea, Yu Qingtan had made substantial progress in her comprehension of both the Path of Water and the Path of Wood.
Additionally, she finally learned the Third Stage Water Blade Technique, Water Curtain Technique, and Water Escape Technique.
The Third Stage spells involve extrely intricate spiritual power circuits, which generally require the Divine Sense and spiritual power control of a Golden Core Stage cultivator to learn. The Third Stage Breath-Concealing Technique she learned before was acquired through a system lottery.
Now that Yu Qingtan had reached the spiritual awareness strength of an average Golden Core Stage cultivator and a comprehensive understanding of the Second Layer of the Path of Water, she finally mastered the Third Stage's signature spells, even reaching the level of great achievent directly.
Third Stage spells are not only more powerful but also easier to integrate with the Dao Domain, thus unleashing greater strength.
After finishing the Enlightennt Tea, Yu Qingtan looked at the mountain wall ahead that was not very steep, and started walking up.
Soon, a giant mirror, two zhang high, appeared before her.
Yu Qingtan looked into the mirror and saw her reflection.
But it was not exactly the sa.
The face, hair, and clothes were all the sa.
However, the chest was flat, and there was an Adam's apple, it was a man.
He bore an eight-point resemblance to Yu Qingtan in her previous life.
Yu Qingtan's mouth twitched, she knew what this was.
This mirror was called the Yin-Yang Enlightennt Mirror.
Yu Qingtan approached, and as the Yin-Yang Enlightennt Mirror emitted a white light, she disappeared on the spot and entered the Yin-Yang Enlightennt Mirror.
Opposite her was the feminine "Yu Qingtan" she had just seen.
"Defeat brother
within two hours, and you shall pass!"
The voice was also the sa as Yu Qingtan's.
Yu Qingtan suppressed the urge to retort, elevated her cultivation to the Golden Core Stage, took up the Canglan Sword in her hand, and as she brandished the long sword, it emitted "crackling" bursts of sound.
The third form of the Xiangfei Sword Art, Bursting Bamboo.
The sword qi fused with the Water Blade, wrapped in the blade-shaped Water Dao Domain, ruthlessly struck at the effeminate "Yu Qingtan."
Her opening move was Yu Qingtan's current strongest standard offensive technique.
The effeminate "Yu Qingtan" opposite her was half a beat slower, but her cultivation level was also adjusted to the early Golden Core Stage, and her moves, spells, and Dao Domain were all exactly the sa as Yu Qingtan's, launching an attack almost simultaneously.
The two streams of sword qi and Water Blades collided between them, and Yu Qingtan's were directly shattered, while the attack with the remaining power targeted Yu Qingtan.
Yu Qingtan had no choice but to take out the damaged Canglan Umbrella to defend herself.
The strength of the effeminate "Yu Qingtan" lay in her Dao Domain.
After blocking that strike, Yu Qingtan continued her assault, closely observing and understanding her opponent's Dao Domain and usage techniques, and then learning from them.
Taking turns attacking with the Water Dao Domain-boosted Water Blade Technique, the Wood Dao Domain-boosted Decay and Flourish Technique and Green Wood Sword Technique, and the Chess Domain-boosted Water Blade Array, Yu Qingtan's understanding of all three Dao Domains advanced another step, particularly the Water Dao Domain and Wood Dao Domain.
Of course, the cost was that the fabric of the Canglan Umbrella was nearly gone, leaving only the fra, the Kotaro armor was also scrapped, Yu Qingtan's skirt was tattered and revealing, and there were over a dozen wounds on her body.
But with the protection of the dragon scale armor, the injuries were only on her limbs.
Yu Qingtan's eyes shone brightly, emitting a radiant light. Her comprehension of the Wood Path had given her a strong vitality and regeneration ability. The wounds on her body were new additions; older injuries had already healed, and the new ones were also recovering rapidly.
The effeminate "Yu Qingtan" was unscathed, but the damage inflicted by Yu Qingtan was getting lower and lower. His increase in Dao Domain strength was fixed, but Yu Qingtan's rate of improvent was accelerating.
As the two-hour limit was about to expire, Yu Qingtan held her breath and concentrated, wielding the Canglan Sword. Spiritual power surged around her, and several rapidly spinning Water Blades ford next to the Canglan Sword.
