159: Gu Qingxue's idea: the Eight Transformations Space Law!

“So it’s the Second Young Miss of the Ji Family.”

Even though Lu Yuan already knew, he still pretended to hear it for the first time.

“You want to reject this marriage?”

“Yes!”

A flicker of determination flashed in Ji Yaoguang’s eyes: “I don’t want to be a tool for a Family alliance, and I certainly don’t want to marry that Xiao Fan!”

“I want to control my own destiny!”

“Then what do you plan to do?” Lu Yuan asked.

“I… I don’t want to go back yet.”

Ji Yaoguang bit her lip: “Since Sir… Senior Brother Lu helped me resolve the hidden danger, I want to find a place to enter seclusion and try to Break through to the Body Integration Stage.”

“If I can advance to Body Integration, I will have enough say in the Family, and Father might reconsider this marriage.”

“Body Integration Stage?”

Lu Yuan looked at her and shook his head slightly: “Although the Body Integration Stage is strong, it is probably not enough to contend against the will of the entire Longevity Ji Family.”

“Moreover, Breakthrough to Body Integration is not easy, especially since you primarily Cultivate Law of Space, which makes it even harder.”

Ji Yaoguang’s eyes dimmed.

She knew it was difficult, but it was her only hope.

“However…”

Lu Yuan changed the subject, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

“If you don’t try, how will you know it won’t work?”

“Follow me.”

Lu Yuan waved his sleeve, taking Ji Yaoguang with him, and their figures instantly vanished from the main hall… into the Eternal Night Demon Palace.

When Ji Yaoguang opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar space.

The sky here was murky, without sun, moon, or stars, yet the Spiritual Qi concentration was terrifyingly high, almost forming substantial liquid mist.

And before her.

A divine tree, about ten feet tall, verdant and dripping, with every leaf flowing with the radiance of Great Dao Law, was quietly rooted in a divine soil emitting nine-colored auspicious light.

“This is…”

Ji Yaoguang’s beautiful eyes widened, and her breathing instantly became rapid.

“Enlightenment Tea Tree?!”

“And… Nine Heavens Breath Soil?!”

As a successor of a Longevity Family, her insight was naturally extraordinary.

She recognized these two legendary supreme treasures at a glance!

Heavens!

Is this the foundation of Azure Cloud Sect?

Even their Ji Family, in its glorious period, was never this extravagant! Using Nine Heavens Breath Soil to plant an Enlightenment Tea Tree? This is simply a divine method!

“Cultivating here should greatly increase your chances of Breakthrough, right?”

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

“This… this is too precious…” Ji Yaoguang was a bit incoherent.

“No matter.”

Lu Yuan waved his hand: “It’s better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone.”

He sent a Divine Sense message, and soon, five graceful figures arrived together.

They were Gu Qingxue, Lu Xueyao, Su Yueli, Xiao Yuechan, and Fairy Lengyue.

“Husband!”

The women saw Lu Yuan and bowed, then were stunned by the Enlightenment Tea Tree before them.

Lu Yuan briefly introduced Ji Yaoguang’s identity.

Upon learning that Ji Yaoguang had also ended up here because she was fleeing a marriage, a trace of sympathy flashed in Gu Qingxue’s eyes, along with a sense of shared experience.

Back then, wasn’t it because she rejected Ye Chen’s marriage proposal that she had today’s Opportunity?

“Sister Ji, don’t be restrained.”

Gu Qingxue proactively took Ji Yaoguang’s hand and said softly: “Since you’ve come to Azure Cloud Sect, we are one Family.”

While Lu Yuan was setting up a Formation, Gu Qingxue pulled Ji Yaoguang aside and whispered.

“Sister, you want to reject your Family marriage?” Gu Qingxue asked.

“Mm.” Ji Yaoguang nodded.

“Actually, there’s an even simpler method.”

Gu Qingxue’s beautiful eyes sparkled, and a meaningful smile played on her lips.

“What method?” Ji Yaoguang quickly asked.

“As long as you become Dao Companion with my husband, and the deed is done…”

Gu Qingxue lowered her voice: “By then, you’ll be both Lu Yuan’s woman and an Integration Stage Great Expert. Can your father still tie you back to marry that Xiao Fan?”

“Ah?”

Ji Yaoguang’s pretty face instantly flushed crimson, so shy that even her earlobes turned hot.

“This… how can this be…”

She lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes with her fingers, her heart pounding.

Actually, the moment Lu Yuan descended from the sky in the Shattered Star Sea to save her, that majestic figure had already been imprinted in her heart. Coupled with the kindness of imparting Dao and resolving doubts just now… to say she wasn’t tempted would be a lie.

But… “No.”

Ji Yaoguang shook her head, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes: “My Ji Family is a Longevity Family, with Mahayana Old Ancestors overseeing it. If I were to… with Senior Brother Lu… it would definitely anger the Family and bring fatal disaster upon Senior Brother Lu.”

“I cannot harm him.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingxue not only didn’t show disappointment but instead revealed a smile of appreciation.

She’s a good girl, considerate of her husband.

“Sister, you worry too much.”

Gu Qingxue patted her hand, her tone full of confidence and pride: “You still don’t know husband’s capabilities.”

“A mere Ji Family, a mere Mahayana, isn’t even worthy of carrying husband’s shoes.”

“Just wait and see, it won’t be long before this entire Cultivation World will prostrate at husband’s feet.”

Ji Yaoguang was stunned.

She looked at Gu Qingxue’s blind yet firm gaze, and a ripple stirred in her heart.

Really… that strong?

…Under the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

The women each found a spot, sat cross-legged, and began to comprehend the Law, utilizing this rare Opportunity.

Lu Yuan was not idle either.

He sat cross-legged, the Great Void Divine Lotus in his hand having transformed into a pure silver Origin, which, following his breath, integrated into his body like a long whale drawing water.

The Law of Space, which had already reached Seventh Molt Perfection, finally touched that indestructible barrier under the impetus of this Origin.

“Break!”

Lu Yuan’s mind and spirit became one, and he let out a low roar.

“Rumble!”

In an instant, this stable Small World of the Eternal Night Demon Palace violently trembled, as if unable to bear the Law fluctuations erupting from Lu Yuan at this moment.

A grand, profound aura, as if transcending all things, erupted from within Lu Yuan’s body.

Centered around Lu Yuan, the Void Realm within a thousand-zhang radius completely transformed.

Space was no longer transparent and ethereal, but had solidified into crystal-like forms. These crystals layered upon each other, like countless mirrors reflecting the inverted images of billions of worlds.

Behind Lu Yuan, a majestic illusory image of a Door of Space even appeared.

He sat there, seemingly close at hand, yet giving the women present the illusion of being far away, or even in another dimension. It was as if he alone had severed all of time and space.

eighth molt Law of Space!

Involving the supreme Profound Truth of space folding, reorganization, and even space traversal!

“This… this is…”

Not far away, Ji Yaoguang, who was comprehending, suddenly opened her eyes, staring fixedly at Lu Yuan, bathed in silver divine radiance. Her cherry-like mouth slightly agape, her beautiful face filled with disbelief and shock.
