59: Supernatural Power: Blazing Sun Across the Nine Heavens!

Over the following period, Lu Yu's days were quite "fulfilling."

Every day at the hour of chen, rain or shine, at the Hanyuan Sword Plaza, he was forbidden from using spiritual power. He had to rely solely on his Physical Body to swing his sword ten thousand times. More importantly, those ten thousand swings were just the foundation; afterward, he had to spar in swordsmanship with Fourth Senior Sister, Yun Guying.

Each session left his body exhausted, and he was practically trained to death every time. Injuries were inevitable, but fortunately, Fourth Senior Sister was kind enough to heal him.

Gradually, he grew accustomed to it, even managing to capture that faint, elusive sense of connection with spiritual power during the initial resonance of his sword body amidst the monotonous repetition. Under Fourth Senior Sister's long-term guidance, it must be said that his progress in the Dao of the sword was indeed significant.

Lu Yu could feel his understanding of the Dao of the sword deepening. Although the Nine Yang Haori spiritual power within him was barred from use, it seemed to be polished by this grueling tempering, becoming more condensed and pure, while his coordination with his physical strength grew increasingly seamless.

Occasionally, in a certain moment of swinging his sword, he could even catch a faint, scorching intent that seemed ready to burst forth from the earth, though the feeling was fleeting and he couldn't yet truly grasp it.

After a few times, his Disciple Lin Wanqiu was also required by Yun Guying to join Lu Yu for guidance.

In Yun Guying's eyes, Lu Yu was just a half-baked amateur himself, so how could he possibly teach a Disciple? To her, Lu Yu was still that little brat from his childhood.

Lin Wanqiu possessed the Nirvana Phoenix Body, following the path of Phoenix Fire Nirvana and endless life, which was completely different from Ye Hanshuang's sword Dao.

Ye Hanshuang didn't force her to change anything, instead focusing her guidance on her sword Dao and techniques. She taught her how to better integrate the agility and explosive power of the Phoenix Fire into her movement techniques and basic offense and defense, with equally strict requirements.

Lin Wanqiu was exhausted, but her progress was rapid. Her small face lost some of its childishness and gained a bit more fortitude.

Yun Guying remained as cold as ever, her guidance concise and sharp. Occasionally, if Lu Yu's movements slackened even slightly, that cold scabbard would strike his wrist or shoulder with perfect timing. The force wasn't heavy, but it was enough to snap him back to attention instantly.

Furthermore, every day after returning from sword practice, there was a high probability of a "chance encounter" at the entrance of his small courtyard with a certain girl in a purple dress, the blooming Martial Niece Mu Lingxi.

She had endless tricks, bringing hand-stewed 'Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup' one day, an exclusive ointment said to relieve muscle soreness the next, and on the third day, holding a newly Acquired Jade Slip of sword Dao insights to ask for advice—though in reality, she was the one explaining while Lu Yu listened.

She focused on being enthusiastic, thoughtful, and meticulous. After realizing that Lu Yu also liked her, Mu Lingxi became increasingly proactive. However, for the latter half of the month, Mu Lingxi was nowhere to be seen.

He only later learned that she had gone on a mission with other Sect Disciples and entered a Secret Realm.

Fifth Senior Sister Li Miaoer wasn't as diligent, but every time she appeared, her impact was devastating.

Sometimes she would silently turn into a cat at night and slip into his Immortal Cave, crawling straight into his covers. Other times, she would swagger in during the day in human form, using all sorts of bizarre excuses to drag him to the Miaoyin Pavilion to experience a 'special cultivation package'.

Lu Yu now had a bit of a conditioned reflex whenever he saw the color pink, but it had to be said that Fifth Senior Sister was really skilled; every time, she flirted until his little heart throbbed.

But in reality, Fifth Senior Sister was just a 'keyboard warrior' of flirting—all talk and no action.

Sixth Senior Sister Lin Xiaoyou remained elusive, but every few days she would "happen" to pass by, handing him a bottle of newly formulated Foundation-Consolidating Pills and frequently checking in on him.

Second Senior Sister Su Qing sound didn't specifically seek him out again, but Lu Yu twice saw her from afar playing the zither on the solitary misty peak, her gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds to land on him.

That gaze was calm and distant, yet it made his heart feel inexplicably uneasy, as if he had become some sort of primary subject of observation.

Among the Senior Sisters, Second Senior Sister had been the kindest, most gentle, and most considerate toward him since they were young.

Great Senior Sister Ling Feiyan was busy reorganizing the War Demon Army and the Sect's defenses, having returned to the Demon Realm long ago.

As for Revered Master Yun Mengli... she was always meditating on insights, never to be surpassed.

Lu Yu seriously doubted if she was just sleeping the whole time.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged in the quiet room of his Immortal Cave, his mind sinking into his body.

In his Dantian, that purple-gold Nascent Soul, rotating slowly like a small sun, radiated pure and vast Blazing Sun Spiritual Power.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the complete chapters of the "Haoyang True Fire Art" unfolded like a galaxy, each rune containing the mysteries of the Supreme Yang Dao.

This Cultivation Technique had been directly instilled to maximum level by the System, meaning his understanding of the power's circulation and the paths of the heavenly cycles had reached theoretical Perfection. However, the various changes contained within and the resulting techniques and Divine Abilities required him to comprehend and align them with himself.

Previously, he had been in the Canglan Sacred Sect and hadn't had time to properly meditate on them. Now that he had returned to his own Sect, he finally had the time.

"Nine Yang Haori Body... the ultimate yang and ultimate strength, incinerating the heavens and boiling the seas... Haoyang True Fire, burning all things..."

Lu Yu's consciousness wandered through the chapters of the technique, combining them with the characteristics of his own Physique, trying to capture that fleeting flash of inspiration.

He attempted to circulate his spiritual power according to a certain mysterious trajectory, simulating the Concept of the great sun rising and illuminating the eight directions.

At first, it was just the spiritual power churning within him and his body temperature rising.

With trial after trial and adjustment after adjustment, the air in the quiet room began to distort, and the faint, low cry of a Golden Crow echoed within his Bloodline.

Time flowed silently within the quiet room.

One day, two days... five days... ten days... half a month.

At a certain moment, when he compressed his spiritual power to the extreme and then suddenly erupted it at a specific aperture, circulating it along a complex and grand path of the heavenly cycle!

The temperature in the quiet room skyrocketed, the air distorted, and a brilliant light faintly emanated from his back as if something were about to condense, when a flash of inspiration struck his Sea of Consciousness like lightning!

Nine suns rotating, the Haori suspended in the sky!

Suppressing one direction, all fires submit!

He felt a sudden moment of clarity and subconsciously formed a complex and mysterious hand seal.

The Nascent Soul within him opened its eyes simultaneously, its small hands also forming the same seal.

Boom!

Inside the quiet room, light flared brilliantly!

It wasn't an explosive flame, but a magnificent and vast blazing golden glow carrying supreme majesty!

Behind Lu Yu, in the Void Realm, nine suns completely condensed from pure Haoyang True Fire and Nine Yang power—phantom images of fierce suns as solid as reality—slowly rose!

These nine fierce suns were not static; they burned fiercely as they reflected in the sky-like void behind him, following a mysterious trajectory!

Each sun radiated terrifying high temperatures and light pressure, their auras connected to one another, forming a unique Domain!

Although they were only phantoms, the terrifying heat and light pressure they emitted caused the quiet room's protective Formation to fluctuate violently, letting out an overwhelmed hum!

Within a range of about a hundred zhang inside and outside the quiet room, all Spiritual Qi attributes were instantly suppressed and assimilated, shifting toward a pure flaming sun attribute, creating an apocalyptic scene like a lava purgatory!

The air became dry and scorching, and the ground turned slightly red. If an ordinary Cultivator were here, even their spiritual power circulation would likely become sluggish and difficult!

With a thought from Lu Yu, the nine fierce suns trembled slightly, and an invisible but mountain-heavy flaming sun pressure erupted, instantly affecting a range of several li!

Although the might beyond a hundred zhang wasn't as terrifying as it was at close range, the suppression of other attributes remained extremely strong. The nine fierce suns high in the sky were like a heavenly punishment, suppressing all evil with overbearing and brutal force!

It possessed an extremely strong suppressive force against other Cultivators.
