I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

The group of Martial Artists suddenly began breathing heavily.
At this moment, Meng Chong was like a walking treasure vault.
Usually, a Wanbao Alliance Branch would be guarded by a powerhouse, and the treasure vault defenses were extremely strong—unless an Immortal Heavenly Venerable made a move, they could not be breached.
And no one dared to raid the treasure vault of the Wanbao Alliance.
Yet there emerged Meng Chong, a ruthless figure who directly broke into and looted two branches' treasure vaults, sweeping away untold Martial Arts resources.
However, considering Meng Chong's strength and ferocity, the difficulty of assassinating him was even greater than that of breaching a Wanbao Alliance Branch!...
After Xu Yan emerged from seclusion, he headed for a city within the Changyun Realm, intending to investigate the situation of the Heavenly Grotto there.
"Is the Wanbao Alliance hunting down my junior brother?
"As a result, Xu Yan discovered the Wanbao Alliance's bounty.
He immediately took out a Communication Talisman and contacted Meng Chong to understand the situation.
"Elder brother, it's just a trivial matter.
Let the Wanbao Alliance try to hunt me down if they wish; there's no need for elder brother to act for the time being.
"Although I am no match for an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, they also can't threaten me.
I've already shaken them off.
I won't stay too long in the Changyun Realm—once I find a chance to raid a few more Wanbao Alliance branches, I'll leave the Changyun Realm.
"Meng Chong replied.
His elder brother must be preparing to venture into the Heavenly Grotto.
Once he got involved in this, he would not be able to go there, so Meng Chong didn't intend to have his elder brother take action.
Moreover, the Wanbao Alliance still couldn't threaten him.
As for the Changyun Realm, he was just passing through, and he had almost gathered all the treasures he needed to build his foundation.
"Junior brother, be careful.
If you need help, send a message to me.
"Xu Yan nodded in acknowledgment.
With the second junior brother's skills, hiding his identity, concealing himself, and avoiding assassination were not particularly difficult tasks.
"My Physiognomy Realm is now complete, and perfection is not far off.
Once I reach the perfection of the Physiognomy Realm, I can kill an ordinary Immortal Realm adversary.
"Xu Yan thought silently.
"I look forward to breaking through to the Void-breaking Realm soon.
Once I enter the Void-breaking, I will push through and overcome the Immortals!
"Xu Yan was filled with anticipation.
At a certain place in the Changyun Realm.
"My lord, we have spotted Xu Yan.
""Good, very good.
Where is he now?
""Xu Yan has appeared in this place...
""I will take action personally.
Xu Yan's time of death has come.
Let's see how powerful the people behind him are and if they can stir up the winds of change in the Divine Realm!
"A man wearing a Ferocious Mask inscribed with eight leaves coldly said.
Xu Yan, after leaving a Wanbao Alliance Branch, looked back for a moment.
After a brief hesitation, he ultimately decided not to strike down this Wanbao Alliance Branch.
"Forget it, for now the Wanbao Alliance poses no threat to junior brother.
If they become threatening, it won't be too late for me to take action.
"In the Wanbao Alliance, Xu Yan purchased a register of the Divine Realm's heavenly materials and treasures, as well as information about the various realm's Heavenly Grottoes.
The Wanbao Alliance spread across thirty realms, which naturally included information for sale about the different Heavenly Grottoes from various realms and news from the Divine Realm.
As a commercial alliance, it had a better understanding, especially of the rare and exotic heavenly materials and treasures, and it would also sell registries of these items.
Sometimes, they even openly sought to purchase certain special and scarce treasures.
After learning this information, Xu Yan immediately went to the Wanbao Alliance to purchase the relevant information he needed.
He also inquired about news regarding Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow but found no information about them.
Xu Yan wondered whether this branch of the Wanbao Alliance was simply not senior enough to involve information about the power of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, or if Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow was indeed so well-hidden that even the Wanbao Alliance had no information?
Xu Yan leaned towards the former, believing that this branch of the Wanbao Alliance did not have the level to access intelligence on Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow.
"In the Changyun Realm, the most famous Heavenly Grotto is this Witch's Heavenly Grotto, also known as the Duowu Cave, which is occupied by an extraterrestrial strong being named Duowu.
"Duowu has the light of a hundred eyes, and once illuminated by it, one can become lazy, weak-bodied, dispirited, and without any fighting will, unable to exert one's full strength.
"Xu Yan's attention was caught by the introduction of a Heavenly Grotto.
"Duowu?
Could she be from the same place as the Seductive Witch?
If I ventured to this Heavenly Grotto, I wonder if I could lure the Seductive Witch there.
"Xu Yan mused to himself.
"Let's go to the Duowu Cave and see if this Duowu is as bizarrely powerful as the rumors claim.
"The records about Duowu all revolved around his light of a hundred eyes, which could cause laziness, weakness, and lack of fighting spirit.
Even an Immortal Heavenly Venerable would need to be cautious when facing it.
A moment's carelessness could lead to a fatal fall.
There was an Immortal Heavenly Venerable who had been exposed to the light of a hundred eyes and couldn't resist, becoming lazy and weak, unable to muster the energy to defend against an attack.
In the end, it was another Immortal Heavenly Venerable who took action and rescued him from the Heavenly Grotto.
"The Duowu Cave, besides an Immortal Realm Duowu, also has other weaker Duowus inside.
However, it is unknown whether they are all his avatars or not?
"Xu Yan left the city and, after discerning the direction, set out for the Duowu Cave.
"With the completion of my Wisdom Sword Realm, Imperishable Sword Intent, Mountain and River Myriad Manifestations, and the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path, the power of the Duowu should not be able to affect me.
"His Martial Arts divine subtlety was far beyond what Taicang Martial Arts could compare to, and he had many more means to contend with these strange forces.
Just after leaving the city, Xu Yan suddenly halted.
A figure floated towards him, as though he had taken control of this domain.
The newcomer was wearing a Ferocious Mask marked with eight leaves.
"Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter?
"Xu Yan's eyebrows rose.
The forces of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, with Seven-leaf Heavenly Slaughter being Martial Artists of Immortal Heavenly Venerable, meant that Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter belonged to an even stronger level within the Immortal Heavenly Venerables.
As for Earth Shadow, their duties included lurking and assassinating, excelling in the way of stealth and hidden kills.
The Earth Shadow under the cover of the sinister mask were considered Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
This Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter, indeed, was stronger than the ordinary Immortal Heavenly Venerables, and although weaker than a powerhouse like Emperor Da Yue, within the Immortal Heavenly Venerables, he wouldn't be too far from the peak.
According to Xu Yan's understanding of the Immortal Heavenly Venerables, Emperor Da Yue was in the later stages of the Immortal Realm, counted among the top-tier Immortal Heavenly Venerables, while Sui Hongwu was in the early stages of the same realm.
This Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter, however, was in the mid-stages of the Immortal Realm.
"You lot from Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow really are like persistent ghosts," Xu Yan remarked with a cold laugh, clearly unafraid.
"Xu Yan, you are the most exceptional prodigy I have seen," the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter coldly claimed.
"Today, I will stifle that brilliance of yours!
""With you?
A rat that hides your head and shows your tail?
" Xu Yan sneered disdainfully.
"You've come at just the right time; let's use you to test my Martial Arts," Xu Yan scoffed with scorn.
"You are the first to belittle the Immortal Heavenly Venerables, oh prodigy, and those who belittle the Immortal shall unquestionably perish!
" the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter raised his palm as he spoke.
Boom!
The Domain Power converged, as if the domain itself was held within his palm.
"Die!
"With a press of his palm, the Domain Power slammed down fiercely as if the domain itself was pressing in to suppress everything.
Hum!
With a wave of Xu Yan's hand, the Yin Yang Undying Sword flowed ceaselessly, the Mountain and River Physiognomy appeared, and the Power of Domain Laws descended.
In that moment, he directly weakened the opponent's control over the Domain Power.
"What kind of Martial Arts is this?
"The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter's eyebrows furrowed with surprise as he eyed Xu Yan's Mountain and River Physiognomy.
Not being in the Immortal Realm, yet possessing a similar ability to control the Domain Laws, even though relative to the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, this control wasn't akin to commanding the domain, it still diminished the Immortal Heavenly Venerable's dominion.
It was as if two Immortal Heavenly Venerables were contending, each vying to command the domain in battle.
"No wonder he's undefeated below the Immortal Realm, with such Martial Arts, which True King Heavenly Venerable could be his match?
" contemplated the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter with a sense of awe yet also a secret thrill.
"Such an exquisite Martial Arts indicates that behind Xu Yan, there must be a Supreme Expert.
To kill him, to provoke that Supreme Expert, would be to undoubtedly plunge the Divine Realm into chaos," he thought to himself, his eyes flickering with keen light.
Only now did he understand why Lord Tian Shiqi insisted on killing Xu Yan and Meng Chong.
It was the most direct, most efficient method, one that could stir the currents of the Divine Realm in the shortest time!
"Your Martial Arts may be divine, but you have yet to enter the Immortal Realm; you will surely die today!
" said the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter with a cold smile, a frosty divine sword in his hand.
"Die!
"Swish!
A cold light flashed across the domain, with the sword's light amassing Domain Power, and in an instant, it slashed down.
Xu Yan's eyebrows raised, and with a mocking smile, he responded, "A frog in a well dares to use a sword before me, Sword God Xu Yan?
"Hum!
The sword strike from the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter had barely entered the Yin Yang Sword Wheel before it was reflected back, the sword light becoming even sharper, as though imbued with spiritual wisdom.
"How can this be?!
" exclaimed the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter, taken aback.
In the realm of Sword Dao, he was considered the best within the Changyun Realm.
