80: A tenfold increase in cultivation speed! Tenfold increase in physical sensory feedback!

The clamor in front of the sword stele, following Yun Guying's inscription, gradually dispersed only after boiling for nearly half an hour.

Cultivators from various Regions left the square in groups of three or five, still muttering phrases like "Cold Moon Sword Immortal" and "Fourth Person in 100,000 Years," their eyes overflowing with adoration.

The Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect naturally became the focus. Many young Sword Cultivators approached, hoping to strike up a conversation with Yun Guying, even if just to get acquainted, but they were all frozen back by her aloof and unapproachable aura.

"Alright, alright, it's time to disperse. We still have the arena battles tomorrow."

Li Miaoer stretched, her cat ears twitching, and whispered to Lu Yu.

"Fourth Senior Sister really stole the show this time. Didn't you see how green the faces of those Heavenly Sword Divine Sect Elders were? Someone carved their full name on their own sword stele, tsk tsk."

"The last time someone carved their name on their Heavenly Sword Divine Sect's stele was Xiao Tian, seventy thousand years ago!"

"Last time it was Third Senior Sister, this time it's Fourth Senior Sister. Next time, will it be you, Junior Brother?"

Lu Yu smiled but didn't reply, his gaze still fixed on the distant white-robed figure slowly walking away.

Next time, it would definitely be him; there was no doubt about it.

However, Fourth Senior Sister's sword strike just now was indeed incredibly cool.

But he knew even more clearly that it wasn't just cool; it was a naked declaration: the sword of Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect was not inferior to anyone.

"Let's go, Junior Martial Uncle. Go back and recuperate."

Mu Lingxi gently reminded him, her gaze lingering on Lu Yu's face, as if trying to discern something, but ultimately, she just smiled gently.

"Tomorrow's match against Gu Yan, you must be careful of his Blazing Heaven Sword Bone. The fire techniques of the Blazing Sun Domain are overbearing, so don't be careless."

"Don't worry."

Lu Yu nodded.

As he turned to leave, Tang Jia Third Young Master's sinister, malevolent gaze was fixed on his back, as if he wanted to tear him to shreds.

The shock of the sword stele inscription gradually faded, and the crowd in the square receded like a tide, everyone returning to their residences to recuperate, preparing for tomorrow's arena battle.

When Yun Guying returned to the temporary courtyard arranged by the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect in the Heavenly Sword Domain, it was already dusk.

The courtyard was not large, but it was quiet. Several clumps of green bamboo were planted in the corner of the courtyard, and as the evening breeze blew, the bamboo leaves rustled.

She closed the door, set up a sound-insulating barrier, and then sat cross-legged in the quiet room.

With a thought, the System interface, visible only to her, appeared before her eyes.

[Emotion System]

[Current Emotion Value: 132,847 points]

[System Mall Unlocked: Cultivation Technique, Medicinal Pill, Magic Treasure, Special Items]

Yun Guying's gaze fell on the "Special Items" section, and she lightly swiped her fingertip, turning to the third page.

A card, shimmering with a faint golden glow, quietly floated in the center of the interface.

This was a special item she had long had her eyes on!

[Item Name: Ten Times Cultivation Speed Binding Card]

[Required for Exchange: 100,000 Emotion Value]

[Effect: Can bind one target. After binding, the host will gain a ten-fold increase in the target's Cultivation speed.]

[Note: After binding, the host will simultaneously endure ten times the target's physical sensory feedback (including but not limited to comfort, pain, fatigue, etc.). The target's death will not cause the host's death, but will result in severe backlash. Once the binding takes effect, it lasts for thirty days and cannot be Release during this period.]

Yun Guying stared at the card, silent for three breaths.

One hundred thousand Emotion Value, almost all the gains from this sword stele inscription.

Expensive?

Deadly expensive.

But worth it!

Yun Guying did not hesitate.

With a light tap of her fingertip, one hundred thousand Emotion Value instantly reset to zero.

The faint golden card transformed into a stream of light and merged into her glabella.

The next second, the System prompt sounded:

[Ten Times Cultivation Speed Binding Card activated]

[Please select a binding target]

Several selectable figures naturally appeared in her mind—Lu Yu, Ling Feiyan, Su Qingyin, Ye Hanshuang, Li Miaoer, Lin Xiaoyou, Mu Lingxi... She thought of that boy, Lu Yu. From returning from the Region until now, it had only been two or three months at most, and he had skyrocketed from Golden Core fourth stage all the way to Nascent Soul sixth stage, even undergoing a Four-Nine-in-One Heavenly Tribulation along the way, breaking through the limits of his Physical Body.

This Cultivation speed was simply as if he had a cheat.

Yun Guying didn't even think and directly chose Lu Yu.

The reason was simple.

This boy was too good at Breakthrough.

Even if there were Secret Realm encounters and Dual Cultivation assistance involved, this speed was still terrifying enough.

Yun Guying herself had been stagnant at Body Integration Perfection for three years.

From Body Integration to Tribulation Crossing Stage was a huge hurdle; it was normal for Genius Cultivators to be stuck for hundreds of years.

For most Cultivators, it might be an uncrossable chasm for an entire lifetime.

From Body Integration to Tribulation Crossing Stage, it was not just about the accumulation of spiritual power, but also about the comprehension of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, and the tempering of one's Dao Heart.

She was confident that her Aptitude was top-tier. In her previous life, she was an Immortal Emperor, and to possess a Foundation that surpassed her previous life, she could not be careless at any Realm; she had to reach the extreme!

To reach this standard, she would need at least another three to five years to even touch the threshold of Undergoing Tribulation.

But what if she bound Lu Yu?

This boy was currently at Nascent Soul sixth stage, and his Cultivation speed was already ridiculously fast. Multiply that by ten...

Even if she was at Body Integration Perfection now, the Spiritual Qi and comprehension required to improve her cultivation were enormous!

But within a month, it should be enough for her to accumulate to the point of attracting a Heavenly Tribulation.

As for synchronized physical sensations?

Yun Guying recalled.

That boy was tough; he wouldn't die, and he had life-saving methods given to him by her Senior Sisters, so there wouldn't be any problems.

Even if he were truly severely injured, her synchronized ten-fold sensation would at most be an early experience of the pain during Undergoing Tribulation, which was nothing.

After the binding was successful.

The faint golden card flew out from the light screen, transforming into a stream of light that merged into her glabella.

The next second, a strange connection was established deep in her consciousness, as if an invisible thread had appeared, remotely linking to a certain direction.

She knew that was Lu Yu's direction.

[Binding successful: Lu Yu]

[Remaining binding time: Thirty days!]

Almost the instant the binding was completed, Yun Guying felt a change.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the quiet room seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, surging towards her like crazy!

It wasn't her actively absorbing it, but the Spiritual Qi actively drilling into her body!

Streams of warm Qi flowed from the Void Realm into her Meridians, circulating on their own along the Cultivation Technique's path.

It was like originally collecting water with a cup, but now a canal had been opened directly, pouring in torrentially.

Yun Guying immediately closed her eyes and concentrated, circulating her Immortal Grade Cultivation Technique from her previous life, the "Supreme Cold Solitude Sword Canon."

As soon as the Cultivation Technique completed one cycle, she noticed the difference.

Previously, when Cultivating, spiritual power flowed through her Meridians like a slow-moving ice river; although pure, its speed was limited.

But now?

Spiritual power surged like a river!

One cycle completed, the time was shortened by seventy to eighty percent, but the accumulated spiritual power was more than ten times the usual!

At this speed... Yun Guying estimated.

In at most twenty days, she would be able to touch the barrier of the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

This speed... was countless times faster than her usual arduous Cultivation!

"Ten times speed... truly terrifying."

She opened her eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashing within them.

This Emotion Value was well spent.

At this moment, Yun Guying was happily smiling in her heart, very satisfied.

But it wouldn't be long before she would regret it immensely!
