After a short while, the first Star was completely lit up within Ruo Ximeng’s body, followed closely by the second, the third…
The pure and immense power of the stars lit up a total of nine Stars before it gradually came to a stop.
At this moment, Ruo Ximeng felt an inexplicable sense in her heart, as if she was about to break out of her cocoon and transform into a butterfly.
The Star Apertures are the most mysterious and unpredictable existence in the human body. Ordinary cultivators can’t even sense the presence of the Star Apertures, let alone awaken them.
Those cultivators who are able to awaken their Star Apertures, without exception, only slowly begin to sense and awaken them after achieving mastery in their cultivation, usually in their advanced years.
For someone like Ruo Ximeng, who at only sixteen could awaken nine Star Apertures at once—this was unheard of, unseen, truly a peerless prodigy breaking through the ages!
The path of the Star Aperture is infinitely profound.
Although Su Chen’s cultivation is unrivaled and he stands invincible in the world, even he does not understand the boundless mysteries of the Star Aperture, nor does he know what changes are occurring within Ruo Ximeng.
As for the Imperial Teacher System, if it weren’t malfunctioning, perhaps it could have sensed the miraculous changes within Ruo Ximeng.
But now, after crashing multiple times and nearly breaking down, how could it possibly know any of this?
At this moment, the only one who felt anything, though not completely certain, was Ruo Ximeng herself.
Just now, she didn’t know what kind of strange changes had happened to her body, but she seemed to have become a little stronger…
In the tranquil courtyard, Su Chen was already full of energy and spirit, savoring fragrant tea.
At his current realm, whether he slept or not made little difference to him.
Even though he had spent half the night with Ruo Ximeng on the Forbidden Peak watching the moon, he felt no trace of drowsiness now.
On the other side of the courtyard, the sleepy-eyed Ruo Ximeng was rubbing her little eyes as she walked over from afar, holding a stack of xuan paper.
“Master, look at my cultivation results!”
Seeing Su Chen, Ruo Ximeng’s face lit up with joy and anticipation as she spoke.
“Pfft…”
Hearing Ruo Ximeng’s words and seeing her expectant little expression, Su Chen directly spat out a mouthful of tea.
He had been teaching completely at random before—what cultivation results could Ruo Ximeng possibly have?
Could it be he’d really tricked this girl into something bad? No way, it was just the simplest paper-striking game.
But at this moment, Ruo Ximeng had already begun to demonstrate her cultivation results.
With a flick of her jade-like hand, a piece of xuan paper flew up, and then the little girl threw out a delicate punch.
“Bang!”
A loud bang rang out, and the sheet of xuan paper was instantly reduced to a flurry of scraps by Ruo Ximeng’s punch.
“Master, this is the result of my Explosive Force training.”
Ruo Ximeng looked at Su Chen with great expectation, only to find his expression a bit odd.
Su Chen wasn’t just a little odd—he was completely dumbfounded!
Maybe the Imperial Teacher System’s theory was right, but he hadn’t followed its instructions at all and had just made things up on his own.
‘Uh! Host! What the heck is going on? She actually learned from your nonsense? And this was supposed to be a good-for-nothing, but she’s already mastered the Explosive Force control technique so quickly!’
The little avatar conjured by the Imperial Teacher System felt as if it had been thoroughly slapped in the face.
It had called Ruo Ximeng a good-for-nothing more than once, yet now, something utterly abnormal was happening with this so-called good-for-nothing!
‘I have no idea either!’
Su Chen was completely stunned; he swore to the heavens that he had only been making things up seriously.
But now, Ruo Ximeng had actually learned it!
“Master, let me show you my Penetrative Force and Sustained Force…”
At that moment, Ruo Ximeng started demonstrating again.
Two sheets of xuan paper floated up one behind the other. Ruo Ximeng struck the front sheet with her palm, and the sheet behind shattered instantly!
This was her Penetrative Force training result!
Next, Ruo Ximeng tossed another sheet of xuan paper. After she struck it with her palm, the paper flew off into the distance, shattering bit by bit as it went.
It was clear that an invisible energy remained attached to the xuan paper, continuously destroying it.
Even with Su Chen’s thick nerves and calm demeanor, he couldn’t help but be shocked in his heart.
He couldn’t help it—this kind of thing was just too far outside the bounds of common sense!
“Ximeng, to be honest, Master was just making things up before…”
Su Chen’s voice was weak as he spoke.
“Master, you weren’t making things up at all! One is Explosive Force, one is Penetrative Force, one is Sustained Force—it all makes sense and is perfectly logical. I’ve mastered them all!”
Ruo Ximeng stood obediently beside Su Chen.
She understood—Master must be joking with her. How could Su Chen possibly teach her nonsense?
“Ahem… Yes, Master was just joking with you.”
Su Chen coughed twice. Just now, he’d accidentally blurted out the truth.
‘Sigh! I was careless! Fortunately, Ximeng smoothed things over. But what should I teach her next?’
Looking at Ruo Ximeng’s dazed and adorable face, Su Chen felt a headache coming on.
He’d made things up before, and Ruo Ximeng had somehow managed to learn them by accident.
Now that she’d finally learned something, should he keep making things up?
‘System, what do you think I should do now?’
At this moment, Su Chen decided to leave this thorny problem to the Imperial Teacher System.
‘How would I know what to do? This girl doesn’t develop according to this system’s plan at all!’
‘The cultivation methods of this system don’t seem to work on her at all.’
The Imperial Teacher System was deeply troubled and was still pondering which step had gone wrong.
Su Chen had long since known that the Imperial Teacher System was unreliable, so he didn’t put much hope in it now.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly had an idea.
‘Why not just go along with it? After all, I’m invincible in this world, transcending all ages. It doesn’t really matter how Ximeng cultivates—just let her keep playing!’
After a moment’s thought, his mind became clear.
“Ximeng, you’ve already mastered the first stage of the Force Mastery Technique. Next, I’ll teach you even more advanced Force Control methods!”
“World-in-a-Flower, Bodhi-in-a-Leaf. A single grain of sand can fill the seas, a single blade of grass can sever sun, moon, and stars!”
“Every bone in your body, every organ, every meridian, every drop of blood, even every cell, can be brought under complete control!”
“The body is the foundation of a cultivator, and also the cultivator’s greatest reliance!”
“When you can control your body to the finest degree, you will be able to unleash unimaginable power!”
Su Chen continued to seriously elaborate on the supreme Dao. Although these words sounded reasonable, in truth they were all vague and roundabout.
But that didn’t stop Su Chen from training… oh no, teaching his disciple!
