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

Dozens of peak Great Grandmasters launching a joint attack didn’t appear. Instead, eight figures shrouded in black robes emerged first.

Xu Yan’s expression turned grave, his gaze firmly fixed on the elder leading the group. His voice rumbled, “Master of Yinlou Pavilion?!”

Su Lingxiu’s face took a drastic change. Her eyes became slightly reddened, filled with hatred as she glared at these eight figures. These were the people who killed her grandfather.

They had driven her into the desolate frontiers.

However, it was due to this that she had met her Master and trained in the Martial Arts of Dan Medicine!

“It’s you people!”

Su Lingxiu spat out hatefully.

The Master of Yinlou Pavilion appeared indifferent as if devoid of any spirit. He glanced plainly at Xu Yan and Meng Chong, completely ignoring Li Xuan who was seated in the chair.

Li Xuan, who had neither revealed his aura nor used his mystical qi, was considered no different from Kou Ruozhi and Xu Junhe in the Master of Yinlou Pavilion’s eyes.

Merely an existence of ants.

“Come with me, otherwise everyone here will die because of you!”

The Master of Yinlou Pavilion spoke aloofly.

“The Master of Yinlou Pavilion is enigmatic and powerful, some even dub him ‘Old Immortal’. I would like to see, just how enigmatic and powerful!”

Xu Yan voiced out with a cold snort.

He could feel that the Master of Yinlou Pavilion was very powerful and gave him a sense of danger.

This was a sensation he had never experienced before.

The indifferent gaze of the Master of Yinlou Pavilion turned toward him. In a moment, eyes that were originally turbid, burst out with a chilling and sharp radiance.

Boom!

Suddenly, an overwhelming oppressive force descended.

This pressure, different from a peak Great Grandmaster, seemed like a kind of “Intent”, seemingly suppressing one’s consciousness, pressurizing their soul.

Everyone found themselves unable to shake off this pressure. Under its coercion, performing any movement seemed strenuous.

Even peak Great Grandmasters found themselves trembling with fear in the face of this overwhelming force, their abilities suppressed, perhaps not even capable of using a third of their power.

Xu Yan’s face instantly changed, and with a hum, a landscape manifested itself, enveloping everyone within and resisting this pressure.

His Mountain and River Sword Intent could resist this pressure.

Boom!

The landscape roiled, as if withstanding massive pressure.

Xu Yan, however, breathed out a sigh of relief. He could resist this pressure, but his heart was filled with dread. He muttered gravely, “Above Great Grandmaster?”

The Master of Yinlou Pavilion’s eyes were filled with a terrifying brilliance. The pressure was increasing continually, but it was unable to suppress Xu Yan’s Mountain and River Sword Intent. He frowned slightly, his heart full of astonishment.

“What kind of cultivation technique is this? Why does it have a resemblance to Heavenly Might yet different at the same time? He isn’t a Heavenly Being, so how does he possess such power that he can resist the Heavenly Might?”

The Master of Yinlou Pavilion watched Xu Yan closely, his eyes twinkling with understanding. He was beginning to understand how Xu Yan could kill peak Great Grandmasters.

It had to do with this mystic power!

“It seems to be some profound intent. How was he able to cultivate it? Not even a Heavenly Being yet possessing nearly the same power as one.”

lie suddenly became interested in Xu Yan.

“I’m nothing more than a half-step Heavenly Being. My Heavenly Might isn’t complete. If I can cultivate this mystic and profound intent, wouldn’t I then possess a true Heavenly Being’s might?”

The Master of Yinlou Pavilion became excited at the thought.

“Young man, you’re not my match. Take that girl and come with me. I will spare the others. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

The Master of Yinlou Pavilion spoke icily, a surge of aura sweeping from his body, revealing his terrifying strength that surpassed peak Great Grandmasters.

“So strong!”

Xu Yan’s heart wavered. This man was definitely a strong existence beyond a peak Great Grandmaster. Unless he himself broke through to the Tongxuan Realm, he was no match for this man!

But he didn’t panic at all, his Master was still here.

Li Xuan had been sitting in his chair all this while. The moment the Master of Yinlou Pavilion appeared, he could sense that something was amiss. This man was powerful, far beyond a peak Great Grandmaster.

Especially that pressure which seemed capable of directly suppressing a Martial Artist’s consciousness. Was it a robust psychic force?

Or perhaps, the power of the Divine Soul?

If it was a regular peak Great Grandmaster, they would probably struggle to resist, their consciousness seemingly repressed and restrained, unable to use much of their strength.

However, this mental pressure could be resisted by Sword Intent or Blade Intent. If the Sword Intent was strong enough, it could even tear through this pressure.

This was why Xu Yan was able to remain unaffected by this force.

“An existence above Great Grandmaster? Something seems off. It surpasses a Great Grandmaster but doesn’t feel complete.”

Li Xuan ruminated.

He was almost certain that the Master of Yinlou Pavilion was nearly as strong as someone beyond a peak Great Grandmaster but hadn’t fully broken through. The realm above Great Grandmaster belonged to the cultivation of a Martial Artist’s mental strength?

“The fourth realm of the Martial Arts that I’ve created is even stronger and more mysterious than the realm above Great Grandmaster. My direction in devising Martial Arts seems correct. Then the cultivation direction for the fifth realm can also pretty much be confirmed.”

Li Xuan used the Master of Yinlou Pavilion as a reference to deduce that the realm above Great Grandmaster belongs to the cultivation of a Martial Artist’s mental level, or one could even say, the level of the Divine Soul.

The fourth realm of the Martial Arts that he had created, just like Innate and Tongxuan, was still stronger than the current Martial Arts realm!

“Even the same cultivation of the Divine Soul results in different levels of strength. The Master of Yinlou Pavilion gave me a rather illusory perception. Although he hasn’t completely broken through, I can still infer that the strength of Martial Artists above the Great Grandmaster isn’t that substantial.”

Of course, this was taking Li Xuan’s own strength into account. Martial Artists above Great Grandmaster were powerful because of their psychic might, but Sword Intent and Blade Intent could resist this..
