In that moment.
In the Main Hall of the Prince’s Mansion, a small figure was circling like lightning, and by the end she was even stirring up sharp whooshing sounds as she tore through the air.
A glimpse through a tube.
One could tell how high her cultivation was, and how extraordinary her body technique.
Ding Ling recognized the body technique she was using; it was the Spiral Nine Shadows. He guessed she had learned it from reciting the Nine Yin Scripture in the Royal Library, and now that all eight meridians in her body were open and she had advanced to Innate Perfection, using this body technique again naturally made her fast as a Phantom, impossible for ordinary eyes to make out.
Whoosh!
Guo Xiang came to a sudden stop in front of Ding Ling, her delicate little face filled with excitement:
“Master, Master, it’s really so fast, so fast! I feel like I’ve really become a peerless Martial Arts expert!”
She bounced with joy:
“My father and mother don’t seem as fast as me. Incredible, incredible. In just a brief instant, I’ve become a great expert. If Father, Mother, Elder Sister and Younger Brother find out, won’t they be jealous of me to death?!”
Speaking of this, she looked at Ding Ling with utter worship on her face:
“Thank you, Master. Master, you’re so good to me. In the future I’ll definitely be filial to you. I’ll definitely treat you well!”
At such a young age, how could she understand any kind of routine?
Besides, Ding Ling’s Observing People Skill was Full Level; with one glance he could see that Guo Xiang was indeed speaking from the bottom of her heart right now.
But he didn’t take it too much to heart either; he only smiled and glanced at the few people present:
“Stop practicing the cultivation techniques you cultivated before. From now on, cultivate the Martial Dao True Understanding I’ve passed on to you! Once this cultivation technique is trained to Great Perfection, it can easily add twenty thousand years to your lifespan. Cultivate it well, and you’ll surely have bright futures ahead. Now, listen as I explain the Esoteric Truth of this technique’s mantra…”
Ding Ling began explaining in a torrent of words.
Yang Guo and Yelv Yan knew this was a peerless opportunity. If they missed it, they’d regret it for the rest of their lives. They forcibly suppressed the surging waves in their hearts and listened carefully.
The more they listened.
The more intoxicated they became.
Their hearts rolled up endless towering waves along with it!
Because this Martial Dao True Understanding was simply too inconceivable—an ultimate method that seemed able to directly ascend to the Immortal Sect!
A technique like this—let alone actually having it, they had never even heard anyone mention such a thing.
Any technique that could be cultivated to the Grandmaster Realm was already treated as a precious treasure!
As for a technique that could directly ascend to the Celestial Palace Immortal Sect, how priceless it was went without saying!
Yang Guo and Yelv Yan were deeply moved; their recognition, gratitude, and worship of Ding Ling shot up in a rush. The two of them secretly decided that whatever their uncle asked them to do in the future, as long as it didn’t violate their principles, they would go all out to accomplish it! Even if it meant staking their lives, they would complete whatever their uncle wanted them to do!
Guo Xiang was young, but after listening to just half, she already felt the vastness and profundity and boundless mysteries within this Martial Dao True Understanding, surpassing the Nine Yin Scripture by who knew how many times. Her big, watery eyes couldn’t help but go round as saucers as she thought:
“When I go back and tell Father and Mother about all this, how shocked and happy will they be? And I wonder if Elder Sister will be envious and jealous of me when she finds out? If Elder Sister would get jealous, then I won’t tell her; I’ll just tell Father and Mother and let them be happy.”
Little Dragon Girl and Ding Ling were husband and wife, and her devotion to Ding Ling was firm as gold; there was no need to say more.
…
…
Time flowed like water.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months had already passed.
Ding Ling didn’t step out the door. By day, he guided the others in cultivating the Martial Dao True Understanding; by night, he and Little Dragon Girl cultivated the Divine Technique that only a husband and wife could practice together, and this Divine Technique easily helped Little Dragon Girl’s cultivation surge forward at a tremendous pace.
It was visible to the naked eye.
Little Dragon Girl’s cultivation soared all the way up through Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and Shattered!
When she reached Shattered Perfection.
The aura she casually let leak out was like a great mountain dropping out of the sky, as if it could easily crush a master at Innate Perfection!
Yang Guo, Yelv Yan, and Guo Xiang all sensed it and were indescribably shocked:
“This?!”
They were intensely curious.
Guo Xiang spoke quickly and crisply asked:
“Master, Master, why is it that Madam is cultivating the same Martial Dao True Understanding as us, yet her progress is so fast? We’ve been cultivating for three months and only moved forward a small step, reaching the flawless state of Innate Great Perfection. Why is Madam different? Right now she gives me a feeling of being incredibly strong and fierce, like she could crush me to death with a single finger. Master, is that just my imagination?”
Yang Guo and Yelv Yan turned their heads, unable to stop their eyes from gleaming as they looked at Ding Ling, the confusion in them so intense.
Before Ding Ling could speak.
Little Dragon Girl blushed and said:
“It’s because your Master used a special technique to help me break the shackles of this world step by step—that’s how I reached this realm.”
“Then I want Master to help me too.”
“…”
Little Dragon Girl waved her hand:
“That won’t do; you’re too young. Wait until you’re of age and grown up, then we’ll talk.”
“Oh.”
Guo Xiang pouted:
“So it’s because I’m too young.”
She suddenly pointed at Yang Guo and Yelv Yan:
“Then why can’t they either?”
“They’re a married couple. Of course they can’t.”
“Eh.”
Guo Xiang’s eyes spun around, then she clapped her little hands:
“I get it. You have to become Master’s wife for it to work, right?”
“Smart.”
Little Dragon Girl’s features were cool and aloof, but her heart was clear and bright, with nothing she felt she couldn’t say to others. Her temperament was extremely gentle:
“That’s exactly it.”
…
…
Ding Ling stayed in the World of Divine Condor for a few more months.
Then he chose to leave.
Little Dragon Girl left together with him.
In Little Dragon Girl’s eyes, there was nothing in this world worth her attachment; Ding Ling was her world, her everything.
Originally she still thought about Yang Guo—after all, she had promised Granny Sunx that she would look after Yang Guo for a lifetime.
But after this half year.
Yang Guo had already attained the Grandmaster Realm, and with the Martial Dao True Understanding protecting his body, he was already invincible in the human world!
There was no one who could hurt him!
Little Dragon Girl herself was cultivating the Martial Dao True Understanding and naturally knew how powerful it was.
It could resolve severe poisons, automatically repair the body, keep one forever youthful, grant immortality, cloak the body in Vajra protection…
With such a technique.
And with Yelv Yan’s companionship.
Little Dragon Girl was naturally at ease, determined to leave this world together with Ding Ling, and there was no reason for Ding Ling to refuse.
For Little Dragon Girl to stay in this world really was a waste of time; she ought to go to a more advanced world.
The two of them bid farewell to Yang Guo, Yelv Yan, and Guo Xiang in the Prince’s Mansion.
“Master, Madam, I can’t bear to part with you.”
Guo Xiang’s eyes were brimming with tears as she tugged at Ding Ling’s trouser leg, raising her head to look up at him:
“Can’t you not leave? I want to train every day with you both.”
This half year.
Had been the happiest time in Guo Xiang’s life.
Only because in the Prince’s Mansion nobody constrained her, and everyone got along harmoniously.
Moreover, cultivating the Martial Dao True Understanding and feeling herself improve every moment made it impossible for her to stop. Now Ding Ling was leaving, and with no one to guide her cultivation of the Martial Dao True Understanding, her progress would naturally plummet.
That was secondary.
