In The Primal Chaos, My identity Was Exposed By The Heavens

Chapter 30: Houtu’s Enlightenment, A Sword Duel Between Master and Disciple!

As Ye Xiu shifted the topic, Houtu momentarily froze. Her beautiful eyes blinked as she gazed at him in confusion.

“Do you truly intend to forsake Pangu’s path of proving the way with strength and, as a second choice, pursue the method of cultivating the primordial spirit?” Ye Xiu asked with seriousness.

Houtu found herself momentarily at a loss for words, her mind buzzing with thoughts. She suddenly experienced a moment of enlightenment.

Indeed, the Wu clan descended from Pangu’s bloodline, known for their unparalleled physical strength, making them natural-born warriors. As Ye Xiu suggested, it was time to follow Pangu’s path of proving the way with strength. Houtu couldn’t help but snort in disdain when she thought about Hongjun’s words in Purple Heaven Palace.

Thinking further, Houtu realized that even the Great Daoist Hongjun lacked the path that Ye Xiu seemed to possess. What Hongjun couldn’t solve with his wisdom, Ye Xiu had helped her understand with a few words.

In this realization, she held deep admiration and reverence for Ye Xiu.

“Thank you, Master, for your guidance! This disciple now knows how to cultivate…”

With these words, Houtu knelt before Ye Xiu, kowtowing repeatedly in excitement. Ye Xiu gently stroked her head and smiled in relief.

Now, Houtu had finally found her path.

“You’ve had an awakening and are about to break through… Go and meditate under the Enlightenment Tree for a while,” Ye Xiu instructed, sensing the strong earth essence emanating from Houtu.

“Yes, Master,” Houtu replied with joy, taking light and graceful steps as she made her way to the Enlightenment Tree.

As she prepared to sit down in meditation, Ye Xiu suddenly called out to the Heavenly Lord, who was deep in his meditation, and said, “Heavenly Lord, come over here. I’ll personally practice swordsmanship with you, and, in the meantime, let your senior sister be the cornerstone of the path.”

The sound of Ye Xiu’s words was like the voice of the Great Dao, immediately pulling the Heavenly Lord out of his profound meditative state.

At that moment, Heavenly Lord was stunned and looked at Ye Xiu in surprise, trembling as he said, “Master, isn’t this inappropriate?”

Heavenly Lord, although he prided himself on his talent in swordsmanship, would never dare to compare himself with Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu’s sudden request had taken him completely by surprise.

“What’s the matter? Are you afraid your sword energy will harm me?” Ye Xiu teased with a slight smile.

These words caused the Heavenly Lord to lose his balance and fall from the cornerstone of the avenue. He was visibly flustered, far from the demeanor of a quasi-saint and a strong individual.

Watching this, Houtu couldn’t help but chuckle and cover her face, saying, “I never expected that Heavenly Lord, usually so confident and imposing, would have such awkward moments.”

And so, Houtu took the Heavenly Lord’s place, sitting atop the cornerstone of the avenue, while standing under the Enlightenment Tree to begin her meditation. On the other hand, Heavenly Lord was left with no choice but to practice swordsmanship as requested by Ye Xiu.

On the mountain path, a young man in white soared through the sky, carrying the ancient starry sky on his back, with long hair flowing and clad in clothes whiter than snow. He exuded pure Primordial Unity energy that transformed into invisible sword energy, surrounding him. He stood as immovable as a mountain, yet radiated a dazzling sword aura, like an unparalleled divine sword standing between heaven and earth.

This man was undeniably Ye Xiu.

Heavenly Lord was intimidated by Ye Xiu’s fearsome sword energy and finally found the courage to draw his sword. With a resounding shout, he encouraged himself. His sword radiance instantly blossomed, piercing through countless miles of mountains and rivers, shining as brilliantly as the sun itself.

In the next moment, under the stimulation of the surging sword intent, the Heavenly Lord summoned the courage to draw his sword. With his sword pointed towards Ye Xiu, sword energy cascaded down like a waterfall, exuding a heroic and free-spirited aura.

Clatter…

Ye Xiu unleashed his sword energy at that moment, locking onto the Heavenly Lord as he approached with his sword drawn.
