Chapter 222: Dean: What exactly did you teach your disciple?

Chapter 222: Dean: What exactly did you teach your disciple?

"I... I succeeded?"

Chu Caiyi stared at the gradually sharpening figure within the chaos, murmuring softly to herself.

Time ticked by. No one knew how long it had been before Chu Caiyi finally saw the figure clearly.

It was a breathtakingly beautiful and powerful being—clearly just an avatar she had seen within the visualization diagram, yet the terrifying aura it emanated was something she had never encountered before.

"Human girl, remember my name—Taiyin Wangshu. Are you prepared to receive my power?"

The voice of the Taiyin Demon God wasn't loud, but each word rang like a great bell, causing Chu Caiyi's soul to tremble.

Chu Caiyi knelt down and respectfully said, "Junior is ready. I humbly ask the honored deity to grant me your power."

"Then let us begin. Remember, I will stop when your soul can no longer withstand it. How much of my power you can carry depends on the strength of your own soul."

As Taiyin Wangshu spoke, a full moon appeared behind her. When the moonlight fell upon Chu Caiyi's soul, a mighty force began to pour into it.

Excruciating pain instantly surged through every part of Chu Caiyi's body.

She clenched her teeth tightly, fists gripped hard, refusing to let a single sound escape her lips.

Meanwhile—

At Wendao Academy, the moon in the sky was unusually bright tonight. Its brilliant light lit the entire academy as if it were daylight.

Countless experts, upon sensing the anomaly, opened their eyes abruptly and used divine sense to trace its source.

The dean looked up at the sky and muttered, "Strange… truly strange. Why can I sense such pure Taiyin power? It feels as if Taiyin herself has descended upon Wendao Academy. Could someone be communing with the Taiyin Demon God?

But didn't the Taiyin Demon God already disappear from the great world long ago, leaving only a Taiyin avatar transformed into the moon?"

The nine head elders in secluded cultivation also halted their practices, sensing the unprecedented Taiyin Dao force.

Xiaoyao Sword King: "Could someone in Wendao Academy be about to ascend to Saint Realm?"

Sword Martial King: "Does Wendao Academy have a Half-Saint cultivating the Taiyin Law?"

"…"

In the Miscellaneous Dao Institute's private residence—

The sudden anomaly disrupted Chu Feng's train of thought. He opened the window and looked at the moon looming close overhead, his expression slightly changing.

"Could it be that little girl Caiyi has made a breakthrough?"

Creak—

From the room next door, Elder Bing—normally composed—rushed out without her usual restraint. She looked at Chu Feng by the window and asked, "Sir, wh-what exactly is going on here?"

Chu Feng answered calmly, "Don't panic. Judging by this, it's likely caused by Caiyi's cultivation."

Elder Bing: Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ノノ

After a short moment, she recovered from the shock and said, "Cai... Caiyi is just a mortal. How could she cause such an upheaval? This level of disturbance is no less than when a Half-Saint ascends to Saint Realm!"

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Whether it is or isn't, we'll find out by taking a look."

Elder Bing nodded and followed Chu Feng as they flew toward the courtyard where Caiyi lived.

As soon as they arrived, they sensed a terrifying aura enveloping the entire house.

Using her divine sense, Elder Bing saw that the terrifying aura was radiating from within Chu Caiyi's body.

Moreover, Chu Caiyi was entirely bathed in moonlight.

Before long, everyone on Miaomiao Mountain had gathered in the courtyard.

"We greet Master."

"You may rise."

After Chu Feng spoke, he turned his gaze toward Caiyi's room. Although everyone had countless questions, no one asked. They simply waited quietly for Caiyi to emerge.

As more Taiyin power poured into Chu Caiyi, the aura around her grew increasingly dreadful.

Some of the head elders in seclusion were already becoming restless. They felt an overwhelming urge to come out and see what was happening.

But in the end, they held back, using divine sense to trace the direction of the force instead.

When they discovered the power was coming from the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, exclamations erupted from within various closed chambers:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could that brat Chu Feng trigger such a phenomenon?"

"Could it be he's breaking through to the Saint Realm?"

"No, I must break through to Half-Saint before leaving seclusion. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold my head up in front of him!"

Even the dean could no longer sit still. After downing two cups of tea in a row, he finally flew toward the direction of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

When the dean arrived in front of Chu Feng and the others, he was completely stunned.

"Xiao Feng, it's not you who's breaking through?"

The dean asked with a face full of confusion.

Chu Feng shrugged. "Dean, I'm still far from a breakthrough. It's my disciple inside who's cultivating."

Hiss—

The dean drew in a sharp breath. "What on earth did you teach your disciple? Can she even withstand such power?"

Chu Feng replied, "You'll know in a moment, Dean."

"Hmph!"

The dean snorted coldly, forcefully suppressing the urge to beat Chu Feng up, and silently stood outside the door waiting.

Inside the room, Chu Caiyi sat cross-legged. Her face was deathly pale, her forehead drenched in cold sweat, and her expression extremely pained.

Her soul had curled into a tight ball, showing signs of being on the verge of collapse under the pressure of the Taiyin power.

Yet the avatar of the Taiyin Demon God did not stop, sensing that this little girl hadn't reached her true limit. She continued increasing the transmission of Taiyin power.

"Ah!!"

In the end, Chu Caiyi could no longer endure the soul-wrenching pain and let out a scream.

Boom!

Suddenly, within her sea of consciousness, a cracking sound echoed. In a place she wasn't aware of, a seal around a soul identical to her own had fractured slightly.

Though the scream masked the sound, it couldn't escape the perception of the Taiyin Demon God's avatar. She turned toward the source of the sound and saw that second soul's eyelid twitch slightly.

That soul seemed to sense the gaze of the Taiyin Demon God and trembled faintly.

The corners of the Taiyin Demon God's lips lifted slightly. Looking at Chu Caiyi, who had reached her limit, she finally stopped and said in a calm voice:

"You've received a sliver of my source power. As long as you continue observing the Taiyin and absorbing Taiyin power, you will one day comprehend the Taiyin Grand Dao and form your own Taiyin avatar."

"Thank you, honored deity."

Chu Caiyi managed to steady herself, bowed deeply toward the Taiyin Demon God, and when she raised her head again, the figure before her had already vanished.

She opened her eyes. The room was completely dark.

She then closed her eyes again and focused on the power within her.

Soon, she sensed the vast spiritual energy coursing through her body, and her lips lifted in a faint smile.

Three years of arduous cultivation had not been in vain.

[Congratulations. Your disciple has cultivated for three years and one night to form her Dao Foundation. She has entered the Chaos Demon God Visualization Technique, perfected the Taiyin true intent. Rewarding host: 60 years of cultivation, Chaos Demon God Visualization Technique perfected, Grand Dao Insight +9.]

Hearing the voice in his mind, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly: So this is what it means to be born with a cheat—she's truly in a league of her own.

At the same time, the dean beside him asked in confusion, "Xiao Feng, your disciple just stepped into the Dao Foundation Realm?"

As soon as he said this, all the disciples were stunned. Everyone turned to look, while Elder Bing muttered under her breath, "It really happened just like master said. Caiyi stayed silent for three years—only to shock the world with one step."

???

Several more question marks appeared on the dean's face.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Dean, it's a long story, and this isn't the place for it. Please allow me to explain it to you privately."

The matter of Caiyi's dual souls could never be hidden from someone sharp, especially a Saint like the dean.

The dean nodded. "Very well. Let me take a look at that little girl first. Then you can come to my residence and explain everything."

Creak—

A door opened, interrupting their conversation. Chu Caiyi stepped out from the room. The moment she saw Chu Feng, her eyes welled up instantly.

She bowed deeply and respectfully said, "Thank you, master, for bestowing me with the supreme technique!"
