Chapter 4: Chen Yubai's Reconstruction

Shen Yubai went to the back mountain and sat cross-legged on a rock platform with the martial arts technique given by Ye Wange at his side.

He decided to rebuild the base.

He wanted to completely sever his karmic connection with Ye Zhao, abandon all the skills she had taught him, and use the new skills chosen for him by Fairy Wangyue to embark on a new path of cultivation of his own.

"Ye Zhao." A cold glint flashed in Chen Yubai's eyes. "I will return everything you taught me today."

"From now on, we owe each other nothing."

He raised his hand and pressed it on his dantian, causing the foundation in his body to self-destruct. Then he endured the severe pain and followed the mantra of "Controlling the Gods" to start circulating the spiritual power in his body.

But the moment the spiritual energy entered his body, his face suddenly changed!

Not only did the spiritual energy not gather, but it exploded in the dantian!

Strands of pure spiritual energy rushed through his meridians, causing severe pain and even beginning to corrode his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Ugh!!" Shen Yubai spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his meridians were broken, as if he was bitten by millions of fire ants.

Not only was he unable to rebuild, but his cultivation was completely destroyed...

He stumbled to the ground, a look of confusion on his face.

How could this fail?!

He was clearly practicing according to the instructions in the "Divine Control Chapter," so why was his spiritual energy not only unable to gather, but instead began to backfire on him?!

Yes, it was Ye Zhao. It must be her martial arts that left a restriction on him!

She was worried that he would betray her, so she deliberately taught him a problematic mind method...

As soon as this thought came out, Shen Yubai's eyes were filled with hatred.

In fact, "The Chapter of Controlling the Gods" was originally a useless technique that Ye Wange gave him casually. It was imperfect in itself and could not be used as the main method to practice.

But Shen Yubai didn't know and only blamed Ye Zhao for all the failures.

He was covered in blood-stained clothes, staggering out from the back mountain and heading straight for Qingyue Peak.

Daye Zhao was sitting alone at his desk, looking through the recent progress of the sect's disciples' studies.

Suddenly the door creaked.

"Ye Zhao!"

Ye Zhao looked up and saw the blood-stained voice at the door. A strange look flashed across his eyes. "Are you gay?"

Shen Yubai approached step by step, with a raging rage in his eyes: "I have abolished the technique you taught me, but I can no longer build my foundation!"

"Have you already placed restrictions on me? Have you not wanted me to escape your control from the very beginning?!"

Ye Zhao was so angry that he laughed. In his previous life, Shen Yubai had questioned him in the same way, but this time it happened earlier.

In her previous life, she was filled with grief and never tired of explaining to him, but now she felt it was too much trouble to say even one more word, "I don't have the time for that."

Chen Yubai sneered, "I scattered my foundation and started to cultivate again, but the spiritual energy rushed back to my sea of ​​consciousness and I almost died in the back mountain. Did you tamper with the technique a long time ago to prevent me from recultivating?"

Ye Zhao took a breath and said, "Since you don't believe me, then go find the Sect Master and ask him to help you see if there is any problem with the technique I taught you. You should always believe what the Sect Master says."

Shen Yubai obviously didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and immediately sneered, "Okay, you are quite courageous, then let's go to the Sect Master's Hall and explain everything to him in front of him!"

—

The Lord's Hall.

Sect Master Xie Ran sat upright on a wooden couch with golden patterns, wearing a long brocade robe. His face was kind but imposing. When he saw the two people enter, he nodded slightly.

"Master Ye Feng, why did you bring your disciples here so late at night?"

Chen Yubai immediately bowed and said, "I have been cultivating my foundation and want to switch to practicing new skills, but I have gone astray. I suspect that Master tampered with the skills when he taught me in my early years."

Upon hearing this, Xie Youran turned his gaze from Ye Zhao to Shen Yubai, his expression gradually darkening.

"Yubai, don't talk nonsense."

When he went down the mountain to gain experience, this child saved his life by coincidence, so he brought him back to the Wenxin Sect and promised to make him his personal disciple.

But at that time, none of the peak masters was willing to accept him as a disciple. Only Ye Zhao brought the fifteen-year-old Shen Yubai back to Qingyue Peak.

He originally thought Shen Yubai would be grateful, but he didn't expect that today he would question his master in front of outsiders. It was really...

Xie Ran waved his hand casually, and a golden light fell on Shen Yubai's eyebrows, penetrating into his sea of ​​consciousness for a moment, and his brows gradually relaxed.

“There are no restrictions at all.”

Chen Yubai's face froze, but he still refused to give up: "But after I dispersed my foundation and tried a new technique, the spiritual energy in my body suddenly became extremely chaotic. There must be a conflict between the techniques. If there wasn't a problem with the technique she taught me back then, how could this happen?!"

Xie Youran glanced at him, with a hint of meaning in his tone:

"You have a special physique. When Ye Zhao taught you the technique, he spent decades of his own cultivation to help you successfully build your foundation..."

"Have you really forgotten about this?"

Shen Yubai was slightly startled, his expression flickering.

These memories... It's not that he didn't remember them, but the promises that Fairy Wangyue made to him were too beautiful, making him involuntarily want to break free from Ye Zhao's restraints and subconsciously forget the warmth they once had.

He lowered his eyes and muttered softly, "... just some small favors."

Ye Zhao just wanted to use these small favors to make him devoted to her, so that she could take the opportunity to steal his luck!

Xie Youran remained silent for a long moment before saying, "Show me your new technique."

Chen Yubai took out the book "The Divine Control" from his sleeve and presented it.

Xie Youran took it, flipped through a few pages, and his brows suddenly frowned even more tightly.

"This technique is completely incoherent." Xie Ran said solemnly, "If you use it to cultivate again, at best your spiritual energy will be disrupted, and at worst your soul will be scattered and shattered. It's to be expected that your foundation will be completely destroyed."

Chen Yubai's pupils suddenly shrank: "You mean... it's not that there's something wrong with Ye Zhao's technique?"

Xie Youran said in a deep voice, "It's you who don't know how to distinguish. You mistakenly used a useless technique as your main method, and rashly changed your foundation to practice... You are destroying your own future."

The words exploded like thunder in Shen Yubai's heart.

His face turned pale and blue, but his eyes were blank.

He never thought... that the problem was with Fairy Wangyue.

Chen Yubai took the book "The Book of Controlling Gods" from Xie Ran and held it tightly in his hands.

Fairy Wangyue could not possibly harm him.

He has not yet grasped the true mystery of it.

He won't give up.

He must persist in practicing!

Ye Zhao glanced at Shen Yubai and knew what he was planning. In her previous life, she had also advised several disciples not to believe Ye Wange's words, but she was collectively criticized by them.

They said he was just jealous and didn't have the demeanor of a peak master.

In this case, if Shen Yubai wants to practice the Divine Control Chapter this time, then let him practice it. Let's see when he can enter the Divine Transformation stage in this life.

Ye Zhao turned around and was about to leave when a quick flash of light came from the distant sky, followed by the sound of several footsteps hurriedly approaching.

"Sect Master! Master Ye Feng!"

It was the elder of the Discipline Hall, who came with several deacons and disciples.

Behind him, there was a young disciple being escorted. He was wearing the robes of Qingyue Peak, with a sword belt hanging diagonally around his waist. His black hair was tied loosely, but his facial features were handsome and sharp, with an unruly spirit.

He is Ye Zhao’s third disciple, Gu Xingzhi.

Ye Zhao glanced at Gu Xingzhi and his brows furrowed.
