Shen Xuan was secretly surprised.

Originally, his bet with Lei Yaoyang was just to reach entry level of the Thunder Escape Technique.

Hidden Image True Master directly asked him how far he had reached.

He detected a hint of special meaning in Hidden Image True Master's words.

It's no surprise that Hidden Image True Master saw through his cultivation realm.

Such open questioning in public.

Had deeper intentions.

With some speculation in mind, Shen Xuan hesitated not at all, bowed and clasped his fists as a salute.

"Reporting to Hidden Image True Master, disciple Shen Xuan has diligently practiced the Divine Hidden Five-Thunder Escape Technique for the past year, and has achieved minor success."

"Minor success? Not bad. Briefly describe your cultivation insights from this past year!"

"Yes!"

A disciple of the Law Enforcement Pavilion brought a yellow chair and placed it in front of the True Master, facing the demonstration platform below.

This meant he was to lecture on the platform.

Curious whispers arose among the sect disciples.

A cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet Hidden Image True Master asked him to share his cultivation insights with hundreds of Foundation Establishment disciples.

What an honor this was!

From then on, Shen Xuan's name echoed throughout the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Shen Xuan sat upright in the middle of the demonstration platform, organizing and summarizing his cultivation of the Divine Hidden Five-Thunder Escape Technique, and began his lecture.

Shen Xuan's cultivation of the Thunder Escape Technique had its own uniqueness and was not applicable to all cultivators.

However, all laws return to one, different paths lead to the same goal.

Over the past year, Shen Xuan progressed from entry breakthrough, to proficient mastery, and then to skillful use, filled with insights.

This is the inevitable path of every cultivator practicing techniques.

Shen Xuan first shared his insights from his main cultivation technique, Divine Hidden Sea Technique.

His understanding of the Divine Hidden Sea Technique had reached an extremely profound level, close to great success.

Limited by realm cultivation, he couldn't progress further.

Shen Xuan's voice carried an indescribable magnetism, articulating the cultivation experiences of the Divine Hidden Sea Technique clearly, providing guidance for future cultivation.

The audience below listened intently.

Especially the Water Cultivators, as if being enlightened, listened with rapt attention.

And the few fellow disciples who also chose Divine Hidden Sea Technique as their main cultivation technique showed expressions of ecstatic joy.

Half an hour later.

Shen Xuan finished the Divine Hidden Sea Technique and began to lecture on the Divine Hidden Five-Thunder Escape Technique.

It's not that he was trying to show off.

But entry into the Divine Hidden Five-Thunder Escape Technique required mastery of the Divine Hidden Sea Technique, to precisely control the internal spiritual sea and transform it into the power of thunder.

Shen Xuan took a shortcut, using the mysterious jade talisman to seize the Water Demon's thunder skills.

Nonetheless, ordinary cultivators could also perceive the method of Water Spirit Thunder Transformation from the Divine Hidden Sea Technique and condense Thunder Spiritual Power.

This method is not for everyone.

Only Water Cultivators with outstanding talent, abundant spiritual power, and strong divine soul might succeed.

Dantian spiritual power like an ocean, the body's organs as a small heaven and earth of the Five Elements, drawing on the Qi of Yin and Yang to gather the power of thunder.

As Shen Xuan delved deeper into the lecture, an anomaly suddenly appeared on the demonstration platform.

At some point, auspicious clouds began to gather on Shen Xuan's body, radiating brilliant light, faintly revealing the evolution of mysterious Taoist patterns.

Such phenomenon drew the gaze of even the five True Masters on the platform.

"Golden lotus blooms from the mouth, Dao is natural!"

Hidden Image True Master's soft voice awoke the sect disciples from their dreams.

Each urgently seated cross-legged, five hearts facing heaven, focusing their attention in listening.

As Shen Xuan elaborated on the Divine Hidden Five-Thunder Escape Technique, his body emitted intense spiritual Qi fluctuations, enveloping him in divine light!

The sect disciples present, even those not Water Cultivators, could relate it to their own cultivation, becoming inspired, greatly benefiting from Shen Xuan's lecture.

As for Water Cultivators.

It was beyond extraordinary.

Many doubts suddenly became clear.

Especially Shen Xuan's experience of Dantian transforming into an ocean, deriving Thunder Spiritual Power, led them to sudden realization.

So, cultivation could be approached this way!

Shen Xuan's lecture took only an hour.

The sect disciples below listened with hearts stirring and spirits soaring, gaining substantial insights, yet still wanting more.

It was truly worthwhile!

Originally there to witness the spectacle, they unexpectedly encountered genuine Daoist insight.

Shen Xuan withheld nothing, expressing his thoughts fully.

After all, he hadn't reached this level through sheer hard work.

Without the mysterious jade talisman, all his insights and experiences would be castles in the air.

"Reporting to Hidden Image True Master, these are the insights from disciple's year-long cultivation of the Divine Hidden Five-Thunder Escape Technique!"

As Shen Xuan's lecture concluded, everyone awoke as if from a dream, each gaining new enlightenment.

Some people didn't even watch the next part, and hurried back to their residences to shut themselves in, assimilating the insights gained from the hour-long lecture.

At this moment.

Hidden Image True Master's muddled gaze gradually brightened, as if it could pierce through layers of mist, once again resting on Shen Xuan.

"Having lectured, a demonstration must follow."

"Yes!"

With those words.

Lightning blue arcs appeared on Shen Xuan's body, enveloping him.

With a slight rumble of thunder, Shen Xuan abruptly vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already two hundred meters away in the void.

The audience below looked up.

The sunlight was dazzling.

Shen Xuan seemed to wear a golden silk robe, radiating myriad spiritual light, faintly exuding a trace of violent thunder aura.

Soon, Shen Xuan vanished once more.

His figure circled around the demonstration platform, appearing and disappearing.

Each appearance covered a distance exceeding two hundred meters.

After more than ten consecutive times.

Shen Xuan returned to the center of the demonstration platform.

Spiritual power retracted.

In simple cyan clothes, he quietly stood there like an ordinary cultivator, bowing and saluting the five True Masters on the main platform.

Not a sound was heard.

Countless eyes were fixed on the cyan-suited cultivator on the platform.

Seemingly ordinary, calm and unruffled.

Upon careful observation, he possessed the demeanor of a tranquil heart, undisturbed by success or failure.

"Disciple of Gu Feng, Shen Xuan!"

In a moment.

Everyone could not help but silently recite Shen Xuan's name in their hearts.

In addition to being stunned and excited, they felt a sense of bold ambition.

A mere loose cultivator, at an advanced age for Foundation Establishment, could still strive forward and achieve so much!

Their conditions are much better than Shen Xuan's.

How could they belittle themselves and remain stagnant!

Do not envy the Golden Core direct disciples!

Shen Xuan is merely a registered disciple of an ordinary Core Formation True Master!

The achievements he has today depend on himself!

As the heavens move, a gentleman should strive unceasingly!

At this moment, many people understood the true purpose of Hidden Image True Master asking Shen Xuan to preach and demonstrate techniques.

To boost the morale of the ordinary disciples.

In recent years, the conflicts between ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm disciples and the True Master's direct disciples have become increasingly apparent.

Cultivation resources are already scarce.

They are still prioritized for those direct disciples.

It's not the scarcity that is worrying, but rather the inequality.

Every family has its own difficult scriptures to recite.

...

In one corner under the platform.

Lv Zhengying, his face glowing with red, gazed at Shen Xuan on the platform.

Beside him, a cultivator asked, "Junior Brother Lv, are you really a close friend of Shen Xuan?"

"What a question!"

Lv Zhengying replied disdainfully, "I have known Senior Brother Shen since I was thirteen, both from under Master Yan. We've been friends for nearly a hundred years!"

"If you don't believe it, just go and ask!"

The cultivator accompanied by a smile said, "Junior Brother Lv, don't be angry. That's not what Senior Brother meant. In the future, please do take good care of me!"

"Regarding the price of Spirit Vegetable procurement, we'll lower it by half a percent! What do you think, Junior Brother Lv?"

"Then thank you, Senior Brother Zhao, let's cooperate and develop together!"

"In a few days, could you introduce me to Senior Brother Shen?"

"It's just a matter of a word! There will be news in three to five days!"

Lv Zhengying spoke with confidence.

If he remembered correctly, Shen Xuan promised to help him break through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Initially, he was a bit hesitant.

Afraid of failing to break through and wasting Spirit Stones.

Now, he is full of confidence.

Shen Xuan has such ability and is willing to help wholeheartedly, how could it fail!

In the unlikely event of failure, Shen Xuan would surely cover for him, and his life would not go too poorly!

After breaking through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, he'll search for a profitable business, and partner with Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan to make a fortune!

Lv Zhengying cherished the idea of buying a Tier Two Spirit Vein and creating a Cultivation Clan.

He is well aware.

His aptitude is just like that.

The Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment is his ceiling.

"Being able to befriend Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan is the greatest fortune of my life!"

Lv Zhengying thought to himself.

...

"Is he a Thunder Cultivator, or an Ice Cultivator?"

Below the platform, Liu Bingyu looked puzzled.

Her mind couldn't quite wrap around it.

Having lived in the Sect since childhood, Liu Bingyu's thoughts were a bit simple.

Master Cold Jade True Master always wanted to find a successor to pass on his teachings.

This is quite normal.

Liu Bingyu worked very hard.

However, to reach Core Formation, how can it be that easy!

She noticed the disappointment in her Master's eyes repeatedly.

Although her Master was very careful not to show it in front of her.

But intuition told her.

Her Master was disappointed in her.

During the conflict between Dao and demonic cultivators, her Master took out the[Ice Soul Cold Water Technique], seizing this as an opportunity to find a suitable successor.

Unfortunately.

The one who exchanged for this technique turned out to be a Loose Cultivator at an advanced age in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However.

Such an ordinary person was also a registered disciple of Master Gu Feng.

This puzzled her.

It's rumored that her Master even went to Little Gu Peak because of this.

Liu Bingyu, out of goodwill, wrote to Shen Xuan, offering her cultivation insights for free.

Originally, she thought it would be good to be friendly, and having one more Ice Cultivator in the Sect is beneficial.

Never did she expect.

Shen Xuan truly had a gift for Ice Techniques.

Moreover, his talent was extremely high.

At least, much higher than hers.

In just three years, he was able to cultivate the[Ice Soul Cold Water Technique]to a minor achievement.

This caused Liu Bingyu to deeply doubt herself.

Only today did she realize.

It wasn't that she was lacking.

It was that Shen Xuan himself was a genius!

Moreover, a demon-level supreme genius!

As an Early Stage Water Cultivator of Foundation Establishment, in one year, he could comprehend the Thunder Escape Technique, also cultivating it to a minor achievement.

She had never heard of such a person in the Cyan Cloud Sect before.

Even if they couldn't be followed after, they are certainly unprecedented.

Such a demon-level genius was like hidden treasure in the sea, strewn among the Loose Cultivators.

"So, Shen Xuan's late Foundation Establishment wasn't because of his aptitude, but because of ill fortune?"

Liu Bingyu thought to herself.

Her gaze towards Shen Xuan carried a touch of admiration.

At this moment, Liu Yubing did not know.

The Moon Cold Immortal on Little Gu Mountain was more shocked than she was.

...

Under the demonstration platform.

Qin Yuehan, in a white dress, sat alone in one place, with eyes calm and unperturbed.

But deep inside, her heart was overturning rivers and seas.

She clearly saw that familiar figure!

The person who has resided in her mind for eighty years.

Calm and composed, gentle and elegant.

Qin Yuehan firmly believed this was not an illusion!
