Who taught her this?
🕑 Added 2024-12-12 15:44:37 +0000 UTC"What's wrong with you? Yun Wuji! Yun Wuji!" Jasmine's hands, resting on his body, suddenly pulled back in panic. Her voice shook as she hastily called out.
His body trembled violently, his fingers clenching into his chest as if trying to dig his heart out, while he shook his head desperately. It was clear just how unbearable the pain he was enduring must be.
Jasmine was overwhelmed with fear and panic as she watched him in this state. She wanted desperately to help but had no idea where to begin, she felt completely powerless.
However, in a sudden, startling moment, Yun Wuji's body went rigid, his violent trembling coming to an abrupt halt. The hand that had been clutching his heart, gripped with such desperation, slowly dropped to the ground.
"Hey! Hey! Are you Alright?!" Jasmine asked urgently.
"Huff... Huff... Yeah, it's nothing," Yun Wuji's eyes fluttered open, his gaze hazy. He tried to force a smile, but it was weak, barely more than a twitch of his lips, as he struggled to speak through ragged breaths.
"What was that just now?" Jasmine studied him closely, her voice laced with concern. Then, as if a realization hit her, her eyes widened in disbelief. "Could this be what you called a 'price'?"
Yun Wuji closed his eyes slowly, refusing to answer.
His unresponsive attitude only fueled Jasmine's anger, her flat chest rising and falling with each breath. Although he hadn't specified what he had lost, she could guess with her toes, that it was probably something priceless, something that could never be replaced.
She clenched her fists in fury and snapped, "Why did you have to do something so reckless?! Why are you pushing yourself like this?! This princess doesn't need your help!"
Yun Wuji slowly rose to his feet, his body swaying for a moment before he steadied himself, avoiding a fall. He looked at Jasmine and said, "Although the way we met is quite unusual, I believe it's fate that brought us together. That's why I wanted to do something for you, right, Master?"
"You..." Jasmine opened her mouth, ready to rebuke him for his recklessness, but as soon as her gaze met his pure, sincere eyes, the words caught in her throat. A strange, unfamiliar emotion welled up within her heart. With a resigned sigh, she gave up on scolding him and said, "You need to rest. After you've recovered, I'll start teaching you all my skills."
"Thanks, Jasmine," Yun Wuji replied, a tired smile on his face. At the same time, in his mind, he couldn't help but shout, "All according to keikaku!"
He naturally hadn't paid any "price." In fact, he didn't even know how to foresee the future. What he had done was share his knowledge from the novel while pretending to have the ability to predict future events.
In the end, he put on a show of weakness, making her believe that he had truly sacrificed something significant to help her uncover her future.
This would stir guilt within her and dissolve the instinctive wariness she had towards him.
Over the past few months they had spent together, despite getting along well and sharing games and jokes, she had always remained vigilant, keeping her guard up around him.
This was something Yun Wuji couldn't do much about. When Yun Che met her in the novel, she didn't have as much vigilance because he was weak, and the source of his strength had originally come from her. She had watched him grow stronger, so there was no reason for her to be wary of him.
On the other hand, Yun Wuji was a living monster with countless secrets, and that naturally made her cautious.
But now, after his great "sacrifice" for her sake, it was certain that she would feel even more guilty for not trusting him sooner.
This will also stop her from asking him to use his 'deduction skills' in the future.
Under Jasmine's watchful eyes, Yun Wuji sat cross-legged on the ground, taking out a beast core and beginning to absorb its energy.
Jasmine's gaze lingered on him for a long time, her eyes losing focus as she fell into deep thought.
It had been a few months since Yun Wuji ordered his people to hunt down the profound beasts across the planet to collect their beast cores. Thanks to this, he had an unceasing stream of beast cores to absorb.
Even so, he could still feel that he was quite far from breaking through to the Divine Origin Realm. However, Yun Wuji wasn't worried. After all, there were still many Profound Beasts waiting to "contribute" their cores to his growth.
This type of cultivation was akin to leveling up in RPG games, easy and fast at lower levels, but the higher you go, the harder it becomes. This was because the number of higher-level beasts available to "farm" became fewer. After all, the number of Divine Masters in the entire universe is incredibly small.
But it's no big deal. If there are no more beast cores, he could always borrow 'crystals' from others.
And when he runs out of crystals, he would just cultivate like everyone else.
After a while, Yun Wuji absorbed dozens of beast cores, and suddenly, dazzling white light erupted from his body, filling the entire place.
As the light dispersed, Yun Wuji opened his eyes and stood up. Noticing Jasmine absentmindedly gazing at his face, he spoke, "I'm ready to learn. Let's go outside."
"Euh! Ah! Cough...alright," Jasmine was startled when he called out to her. She blushed in embarrassment and quickly coughed to cover it up.
Yun Wuji didn't mock her this time. Instead, he smiled at her and made his way to the door.
Jasmine, hands on her waist, asked him again, trying again to find out the truth, "Are you really not going to tell me what you lost? Don't lie and say it was your lifespan. I'm connected to you, and I would sense it if you lost that. But right now, I can feel that you lost something, yet I can't tell what it is."
"Everyone has their own secrets they don't want to share," Yun Wuji said, patting her head as he walked past her. "Kids like you don't need to worry about adult matters."
"Don't treat me like a kid, I am your Master!" Jasmine glared at his back, scowling. Then, her eyes gleamed, and an evil grin spread across her face as she spoke. "Or could it be that you lost something precious, and you're too ashamed to tell others? Hehehe, don't worry, I won't judge you... but I don't think your wives will be as understanding as I am."
As she finished speaking, she threw her head back and let out a wicked laugh, "Hahaha!"
"Fuck!" Yun Wuji, walking out of the room, stumbled on his feet when he heard her words. His face darkened as he cursed loudly.
Who taught her this? This way of talking... this style... why is it so familiar... Damn Evil Infant!!!
...
In a secluded waterfall deep within the palace, Jasmine floated in front of Yun Wuji, her arms crossed over her chest as she spoke to him. "As you may already know, most of my profound arts are tied to assassination, and most of them require the Star God's bloodline to cultivate. Given my current condition, I can't offer my blood essence for you to use them. Even then, I doubt you'd be interested in them."
Yun Wuji nodded in understanding. Her profound arts weren't suited for him, and he didn't particularly like them. In fact, he wasn't interested in them at all. The only art he truly wanted was the Great Way of the Buddha.
The people who knew about the Great Way of the Buddha believed it to be a divine Profound Art that belonged to the Rage God. However, what they didn't know was that it was actually created by the Heaven Punishing Crown Prince, Mo Su. He developed and perfected it while competing with his lover, Pan Xiaodie.
When Mo Su discovered that the Great Way of the Buddha suited the Rage Gods perfectly, he gave it to them to cultivate.
Mo Su was the most talented man of his generation in the God race, while Pan Xiaodie was the most talented woman in the Devil race.
As the most gifted individual under the Four Creation Gods and Devil Emperors, his Divine Art was naturally powerful. It was only one step lower than the Creation Gods' arts
As for why people didn't know this, It was likely that either his father or Ni Xuan who erased almost all records about him.
"So I only have two techniques that may interest you," Jasmine began, extending her palm and raising a finger as she explained. "The first is my Profound Movement Skill, Star God's Broken Shadow. When using this art, the practitioner's speed explodes instantly, creating afterimages that are almost indistinguishable from the original body. It makes it appear as if the user has been cloned while moving at breathtaking speeds."
She added confidently, puffing out her flat chest, "Out of all the Twelve Star Gods, I am the most skilled in it, so I'm confident in teaching it to you."
"Right, as the Heavenly Slaughter Star, I guess it's natural for you to be good at movement skills," Yun Wuji nodded in agreement with her claim.
"Hmph!" Jasmine snorted like a tsundere and spoke, "The second art is a divine art called the 'Great Way of the Buddha'!"
"The 'Great Way of the Buddha' is a divine Profound Art from a Primordial True God, the 'Rage God,'" Jasmine explained. "Unlike the Heretic God Arts, which exist in the profound veins and require no cultivation, the Great Way of the Buddha affects the blood, meridians, muscles, skin, and hair, and had no connection to the profound veins or strength."
She explained, "After the primordial true god's death, the 'Great Way of the Buddha' became a forbidden art, as mortals cannot cultivate it. Over the years, many powerful experts who attempted to forcefully cultivate it have exploded from the strain."
A hint of pride appeared on her face as she continued, "The 'Great Way of the Buddha' eventually vanished, and its legends faded. However, one day, my brother discovered it in a mystical, dangerous land and managed to cultivate it. This is also a secret untold to others. In this world, only my brother and I knew about it; not even father and mother were ever aware of it..."
"I already know that," Yun Wuji interrupted, clearly not interested in hearing the tale of one of the three great simps.
The three great simps are Ling Yuefeng, Xisu, and Long Bai.

If everything goes as planned, the God Realm arc will begin in just 4 to 5 chapters.

He will, but I didn’t mention it since it's pretty obvious.

What about xisu's heavy sword techniques? Isn't he getting that sword spirit when she appears on his world?
