Chapter 255 (Requesting Monthly Pass)
Inside Su Xi's sleeping chamber.
At this moment.
Su Xi wore a light red dress, her eyes vacant as she stared at the quietude of her sleeping chamber.
Ever since the Starfish Apparition had been forced into the Starfish,
Baize had left her sleeping chamber.
In an instant, her sleeping chamber became silent.
After all, Su Xi hadn't fully come back to her senses.
It took quite a while before she slowly regained her clarity, piecing together everything.
Through some of the inheritance of the Starfish Apparition, she also understood the identity of the Starfish Apparition, a Heavenly Demon from beyond who had once brought bloodshed to the Divinity Continent Lingzhou in Ancient Times, later jointly sealed away.
Its name was 'Tianyao Saint Monarch'.
This was the Great Demon she had inadvertently released.
Then it was...
Struck back into the Starfish by that senior.
According to that senior's wishes, was this all arranged by her Respected Master? All for her to grow?
Su Xi felt bewildered.
But she didn't want to think too much about it.
When in doubt, it must be the wish of the Respected Master!
Did the Respected Master want her to cultivate the legacy of the Tianyao Saint Monarch?
Su Xi examined the Tianyao Saint Monarch's legacy closely.
Although she didn't understand the specifics of cultivation, she could discern the general idea.
This inheritance wasn't actually about the Way of the Puppet.
Instead, it was a kind of Pupil Skill intended to control others' hearts and minds.
"Should... should I cultivate this?"
"Didn't the Respected Master say that I should practise the Way of the Puppet?"
Su Xi was confused and puzzled.
She pondered but still could not understand.
She stood up, planning to ask the Respected Master.
This she genuinely could not comprehend.
Otherwise, with Su Xi's personality, she would rather die than disturb the Respected Master.
Carrying the Starfish, Su Xi left the palace and headed towards her Respected Master's sleeping chamber.
She walked for about a few minutes, not yet leaving the area where the disciples resided.
Approaching the entrance to the disciples' area, she unexpectedly bumped into Dantai Luo Xue coming out of her chamber.
"Sister, sister!"
Su Xi promptly greeted, her head bowed as she cautiously regarded the sister in front of her.
She always felt that this sister was difficult to get along with.
In her eyes, Dantai Luo Xue was filled with a cold and noble aura, along with an air of ruthless Heavenly Dao.
"Junior sister, no need for such formalities. We are from the same Sect and even more so, from a Hidden Sect; we need not bother with such worldly courtesies."
Dantai Luo Xue was quite casual, extending her hand to help Su Xi up, and scrutinized her from left to right.
In her insightful eyes, the hidden golden specks around Su Xi had become even more brilliant.
This little junior sister must have begun her path in cultivation.
With this thought, Dantai Luo Xue gave Su Xi another look, as if trying to remember what Su Xi looked like in her weaker moments.
"Junior sister, your sleeping chamber is on the other side, right? Why are you walking this way?"
Dantai Luo Xue observed for a while before retracting her gaze and asked softly.
"Sister, I'm looking for the Respected Master," Su Xi replied obediently.
"Looking for the Respected Master? Is there a problem related to cultivation?" Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire
Upon hearing this, Dantai Luo Xue could guess that Su Xi must be facing an issue with her cultivation; otherwise, she wouldn't seek out the Respected Master.
She still remembered the instructions from their eldest and second brothers to help the junior sister, so as not to disturb the Respected Master.
"Yes, sister, I indeed have some questions I want to ask the Respected Master," Su Xi said, nodding.
"What is the issue, junior sister? Speak, and perhaps I can help you with the answer, so we don't have to bother the Respected Master," Dantai Luo Xue offered.
"This... well, okay then."
Su Xi hesitated but then agreed gladly.
It seemed that compared to seeking out the Respected Master, approaching her senior sister was somewhat easier for her to accept.
She tentatively relayed the whole situation to Dantai Luoxue and also shared the questions that puzzled her.
Upon hearing her little junior sister's words,
Dantai Luoxue also fell silent for a long time.
The opportunity bestowed by the Respected Master on each person is different.
The opportunity given to the junior sister is the inheritance of this Heavenly Demon from beyond the domain? This inheritance really is quite special, the Primordial Spirit of the Heavenly Demon from beyond is still in existence...
Perhaps the Respected Master's intention is to let this Heavenly Demon's Primordial Spirit guide the junior sister's growth in cultivation.
As for the questions that the junior sister mentioned...
Dantai Luoxue took only a moment of thought to understand.
"Junior sister, what confuses you is that the inheritance given to you by that Heavenly Demon from beyond does not match the way you are cultivating, is that correct?"
Dantai Luoxue asked out loud.
"Yes, senior sister."
Su Xi quickly nodded her head.
"Junior sister, do you know the core of our Wayless Sect?"
Dantai Luoxue asked with a smile, sidestepping the question.
"I do not know."
Su Xi shook her head.
"Pass on the teachings, not the techniques; this, is the core of our Wayless Sect."
A faint smile flickered across Dantai Luoxue's eyes as she spoke slowly.
"Pass on the teachings, not the techniques?"
Su Xi sounded perplexed.
Seeing this,
Dantai Luoxue completely understood.
"Correct, pass on the teachings, not the techniques. Whether it's our eldest senior brother, or the second and third senior brothers, or even me, the Respected Master has always passed on the teachings, never the techniques. We must realize the techniques on our own."
"It would be strange if the Respected Master had taught you specific techniques. It is normal, however, for you to have received a unique set of techniques from the Heavenly Demon from beyond. According to the Respected Master's intention, it is likely that he wants you to use this as a lead to comprehend your own path."
Dantai Luoxue shared her insights.
"Use this as a lead to comprehend my own path..."
Su Xi murmured softly to herself.
"Indeed. If you still do not understand, you can go to the Hall of Law Transmission. Inside are all kinds of wonderful techniques, including the cultivation methods of myself and the three senior brothers. You may use them to aid your comprehension."
Dantai Luoxue offered guidance.
"Alright, senior sister, I understand now. I will go to the Hall of Law Transmission and have a good look."
Upon hearing this, Su Xi expressed her understanding.
"Good, it's good that you understand. If there's anything else you're unsure about, you can come directly to my quarters."
Dantai Luoxue gently patted Su Xi's head and said with a light laugh.
"Okay, senior sister."
Su Xi blushed slightly when her head was patted, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Don't be so nervous. You can also come find your senior sister when you're free; don't just stay cooped up in your quarters all the time,"
Dantai Luoxue said gently.
"Yes, senior sister, I understand."
Su Xi nodded timidly.
"Alright, off you go. Whether you wish to head to the Hall of Law Transmission or return to contemplate, either is fine,"
Dantai Luoxue said casually, waving her hand gently.
Upon hearing this,
Su Xi felt a burden lift off her shoulders. After nodding and saying a few more words, she got up and left for the direction of the Hall of Law Transmission.
Dantai Luoxue stood quietly in place, watching the retreating figure of her little junior sister, shaking her head in resignation.
She always felt that this little junior sister harbored worries deep down.
And due to these worries, her personality had become extremely shy.
She still couldn't open up, even now.
But since the junior sister chose not to speak of it, it would not be right for her to ask what it was...
