Mu Hongyuan snorted coldly. "Forget it. Teach me or don't. Do you really think I'm desperate for it..."

Having said that, she turned her back, not bothering with Wang Mu.

Seeing this, Wang Mu's mind was in turmoil, so he decided to try cultivating.

However, he discovered that the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram simply could not be cultivated; the Yin and Yang Qi couldn't merge at all.

So, if he wanted to cultivate this technique, did he also need to maintain a certain level of intimacy and goodwill with her?

Hmph, as expected of a Cultivation Technique created by Mu Hongyuan.

Whatever, I'll just tell myself it's for the sake of cultivation.

"I can teach you, but I have a condition..." Wang Mu said.

"Oh?" Mu Hongyuan turned around, her expression much softer. "What is it?"

"You cannot use your realm to oppress people afterward," Wang Mu said, "nor can you make me do things I don't want to do."

"I don't agree," Mu Hongyuan retorted. "I'm not using my realm to oppress you now, am I? So what? Are you afraid I'll bully you with my Ascension Realm Cultivation? Hehe. Then I'll just bully you. What are you going to do about it? If you have the skill, reach the Ascension Realm yourself and try to bully me!"

"..."

You just wait. Wang Mu reminded himself to endure hardships and bide his time.

Compared to her just idling on Heavenly Sword Peak, teaching her Sword Dao was a more acceptable alternative.

He knew what Mu Hongyuan was thinking.

So, he took out several wooden swords and, just as Yan Qingwu had taught him before, demonstrated the Sword Technique and then had Mu Hongyuan try to replicate it.

However, Mu Hongyuan just couldn't seem to learn it.

Of course, with her Ascension Realm Cultivation, it was impossible for her to be unable to learn this High-level Sword Technique.

The Love Nine Sword Technique itself didn't involve many sword sequences, nor did it demand high comprehension. The only requirement was emotion.

To have feelings.

This inevitably brought Senior Brother Su Yu to mind. He had never experienced any emotions, thus finding it extremely difficult to even begin learning it. Even if he had managed to learn it, its power was mediocre. Who knew how powerful his Love Nine Sword Technique was now?

"Brother Mu, I can't learn it," Mu Hongyuan transmitted her voice coquettishly. "If I can't learn it, I'm just not going to leave."

Fine.

Wang Mu fell silent for a moment. He walked behind Mu Hongyuan, took her hands, and gently guided them through the motions of the Sword Technique as they communicated through their Divine Senses.

Wang Mu instantly felt the Yin and Yang Qi inside his body begin to automatically merge, quickly fusing into Mixed Element Energy...

The wooden sword moved as he willed it, tracing an arc in mid-air before the sword image split in two and gently struck downwards.

It was precisely the First Form of the Love Nine Sword Technique.

"I won't learn this one," Mu Hongyuan said, blushing.

"Which move do you want to learn then?" Wang Mu asked.

"Of course, the most powerful one," Mu Hongyuan leaned into his embrace and smiled faintly.

The most powerful move was naturally the final form of the Love Nine Sword Technique: Emotional Nine Heavens.

The most powerful form among all Sword Techniques.

Even Wang Mu himself had not cultivated it to Fulfillment, nor had he ever executed it.

He wasn't very proficient with it.

This move required one's own emotions as its foundation, allowing them to erupt completely. When emotions reach their peak, they manifest as simplicity.

Therefore, this move, while looking very ordinary, possessed the greatest power when executed.

Enough to shake the Nine Heavens.

But to learn this move, one must possess true and sincere emotions.

It was said that throughout the entire history of the Sword Sect, very few had ever managed to learn this move.

Even those who learned it could not fully unleash its power.

"This move... I'm not very good at it," Wang Mu said.

"It doesn't matter, just teach me," Mu Hongyuan turned, pursing her lips and giving Wang Mu a glance, her eyes shimmering slightly.

"Alright then."

Wang Mu pondered for a few seconds, closed his eyes, began to recite the Mantra, and intertwined his hands with hers.

HUM. HUM. HUM.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the Seven Emotions Sword Heart began to resonate.

A powerful Sword Intent, stirred by the resonance of his Seven Emotions Sword Heart, began to gather throughout his body.

As he began to execute it, Wang Mu felt a sense of blockage.

He sensed that unleashing the full power of this move would be difficult.

At that moment, the Mixed Element Energy within his body began to circulate into his Sea of Consciousness, and the sensation of blockage suddenly vanished.

The resonance of his Seven Emotions Sword Heart began to quieten.

A mysterious sensation welled up within him.

"Brother Mu… is this how it's done?"

Just then, Mu Hongyuan gently took his hand, their fingers lacing together tightly.

The Yin and Yang Qi within Wang Mu swiftly merged. He looked at the bewitchingly beautiful woman beside him, her face flushed a charming crimson. Her glistening eyes seemed to hold a myriad of Emotional Threads, and a faint sword light was barely visible within them.

The woman also softly recited the Mantra, following the technique.

It felt as if their emotions were intertwining. In that instant, Wang Mu felt the Yin and Yang Qi within his body seethe as the Mixed Element Energy coursed through him, his Sword Intent continuously strengthening.

The wooden sword began to thrum, seemingly imbued with two converging streams of divine light, and shot straight into the sky.

Those two streams of divine light resembled two entwined figures. As their emotions merged, driven by the Sword Technique, they erupted in a dazzling radiance.

Then, with a single slash, the sword descended!

BOOM!

The sword light, like a rainbow, tore through the clouds of the Heavenly Vault, revealing layers of chasms in the firmament. Each chasm seemed to represent one of the heavens.

Finally, a faint starlight emerged, like a glimpse into the cosmic ocean of stars, as if it had pierced the very depths of the world's barriers.

Wang Mu watched this scene, slightly spellbound.

The power of this move was indeed terrifying.

However, this sword strike had been unleashed by Mu Hongyuan; he had merely played a supporting role.

The power of this Sword Technique was related to one's own emotions—the deeper the emotion, the stronger the power.

If this sword strike represented Mu Hongyuan's feelings for him…

Wang Mu gazed at the pierced Heavenly Vault, where countless fissures were now vaguely visible. Just how deep are these feelings of hers?

"Brother Mu, how well did I learn?" Mu Hongyuan asked, her eyes narrowed playfully.

Did she even need to ask?

"You've learned this move before," Wang Mu stated.

Evidently, judging by how Mu Hongyuan had just executed the Sword Technique, it was clearly not her first time.

"Yes, I have learned it," said Mu Hongyuan.

"Then why did you ask me to teach you?"

"I had learned it…" Mu Hongyuan turned, her enchanting face blooming as she gave him a playful look from the corner of her eye. "But somehow, I could never truly grasp it. I never expected to master it today, in your arms, Brother Mu… What do you suppose that means?"

"It means my Sword Dao Talent is contagious," Wang Mu said.

"..."

Mu Hongyuan harrumphed, yet she seemed quite satisfied.

She closed her eyes.

Wang Mu assumed she was contemplating the Sword Technique.

Given the comprehension of an Ascension Realm expert, Wang Mu found it hard to believe Mu Hongyuan couldn't have learned it on her own.

"Now that you've learned the Sword Technique, can you leave?" Wang Mu asked.

Mu Hongyuan smiled and was about to nod when her tone suddenly shifted. This time, she didn't transmit her voice but spoke aloud, her voice commanding yet slightly coquettish, "Carry me."

Wang Mu shook his head, his only wish was for this Demoness to leave this place quickly.

Every extra moment she spent on Heavenly Sword Peak made him feel an inexplicable sense of impending danger.

So, he crouched down in front of Mu Hongyuan.

Just then, a Green Frost Long Sword abruptly materialized in the void before them, slashing directly towards Mu Hongyuan, who was behind Wang Mu…
