Then, Ouyang Ruoxue turned to Hu Yiqiu, hesitated for a moment, clasped her hands in respect, and bowed, saying: "Ruo Xue is too ashamed to mention the matter of apprenticeship again, having disappointed you, senior!"

Hu Yiqiu didn't speak, looking at Ouyang Ruoxue with a tinge of regret in his eyes.

Ouyang Song was full of remorse, while Jian Cangqiong and the others also showed expressions of pity in their eyes.

Having reached the Divine Infant Realm, adjusting to strengthen one's foundation now is easier said than done. Ouyang Ruoxue probably...

"Master, may I ask about your relationship with this senior Ouyang?"

Jiang Chen turned to look at Hu Yiqiu and inquired through a voice transmission.

"Old Brother Ouyang has been a great friend of mine for many years. We have been cultivating together since we were your age, a friendship spanning hundreds of years now."

Hu Yiqiu was slightly taken aback and directly replied: "Between him and me, apart from matters of teaching and accepting disciples or sharing a Dao companion, everything else can be shared. Back then, I only managed to obtain this Spirit Treasure Level Divine Weapon thanks to Old Brother Ouyang fighting desperately to help!"

Not knowing what Jiang Chen meant, Hu Yiqiu elaborated on his relationship with Ouyang Song.

Jian Cangqiong and others looked at Jiang Chen. Voice transmissions are conducted through Divine Sense, and Jiang Chen's Divine Sense strength wasn't nearly enough to conceal it from Jian Cangqiong and the others. Everyone sensed Jiang Chen's Divine Sense fluctuations, but they didn't mind. Hearing Hu Yiqiu's words, they felt a bit puzzled.

"I see!"

Jiang Chen understood the relationship between Hu Yiqiu and Ouyang Song and turned to Ouyang Song: "Senior Ouyang, if you have no objections, you can let Miss Ouyang stay at the academy for a while. Perhaps I have a way to help her consolidate her foundation and improve her control over power!"

"What? Really? You have a way!?"

Ouyang Song anxiously spoke, his eyes full of expectation.

"Kid, this is no trivial matter; you must not joke about it!"

Hu Yiqiu's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly: "If you like that little Ouyang lass, you should just pursue her. Using such a method is unacceptable. Control over power has always been consolidated and trained from low realms. Now that she's already in the Divine Infant Realm, how could she improve again? Even if she improves, she cannot make up for what she missed before. You...you shouldn't..."

Jian Cangqiong and a few others were taken aback and frowned at Jiang Chen.

Ouyang Ruoxue's eyes showed a peculiar look as she gazed at Jiang Chen with a trace of disdain.

"Like!?"

Jiang Chen paused for a moment and then said, somewhat annoyed: "Master, can you not be so disrespectful in your old age? If not for considering your life-and-death friendship with Senior Ouyang, would I bother to help her consolidate her foundation and improve her control over power? What are you blabbering about? I have a fiancée, okay?"

"Ah!?"

Hu Yiqiu was taken aback: "You...you mean you are not doing it because you like the Ouyang lass...you can genuinely help her consolidate the foundation of her control over power!?"

"Master! In your eyes, am I the kind of treacherous villain who has to rely on schemes to pursue someone I like?"

Jiang Chen frowned, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"No, no, no, not at all, I...I just misunderstood, the old man...no! Master apologizes to you, apologizes!"

Noticing Jiang Chen's anger, Hu Yiqiu hurriedly apologized. This disciple was the greatest gift heaven had given him, he couldn't drive him away!

Jiang Chen glanced at everyone, noticing that they were all looking at him with peculiar gazes, and couldn't help but frown: "What's wrong? Is helping someone improve power control that difficult?"

"Of course!"

Jian Cangqiong said solemnly: "In cultivation realms, the Acquired, Innate, and Myriad Manifestations Three Realms are known as foundation-building realms. Laying a solid foundation in these three realms and achieving optimal control over power can allow the path of future cultivation to go further."

"This is also why most forces, when recruiting fresh blood, primarily recruit cultivators at the Unification Realm and Semi Divine Infant Realm. Beyond the Divine Infant Realm, the original Power of the Great Dao has manifested, directly fixing a cultivator's Great Dao Foundation."

"And before Unification, the three realms can't truly reveal a person's talent."

"That is to say, from the Unification Realm onwards, while foundations might possibly be continually consolidated as you said, the control over power already has an upper limit. No matter how strong the strength becomes later, it cannot break through that limit!"

"Not true!"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "It's not like that! Maybe you've always believed so, but I've done this before."

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Chen's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence: "Back in my country, I once led a faction, and I gathered all the Cultivation Techniques I could find, then researched them to develop what I considered the best training method and taught it to them."

"Later, as my own strength and realm improved, I continued to refine that Cultivation Technique, and by the time I left that place, that training method didn't just help in the Acquired, Innate, Venerable Realm..."

He paused, then quickly corrected himself: "Oh, by Venerable Realm, I mean the Myriad Manifestations Realm. I helped them consolidate their foundations and improve control over power, and I could also help those at the Unification Realm improve their control over power!"

With a decisive gaze, Jiang Chen said sternly: "I don't know if my method can really help Miss Ouyang improve her control over power, but since Master has such a good relationship with Senior Ouyang, I'm willing to give it a try."

"You...you really allowed cultivators at the Unification Realm to improve their control over power!?"

Jian Cangqiong's pupils contracted, looking at Jiang Chen in astonishment.

Jiang Chen glanced at Jian Cangqiong, then his figure flickered as he leaped down from the mountain top.

Everyone was slightly bewildered and all looked towards the direction where Jiang Chen had leaped down.

Whoosh!

A silhouette flickered, and Jiang Chen returned to the mountain top with a branch in hand, with a lush green leaf on it.

Rustle!

Jiang Chen plucked a leaf from the branch, and pinched it with two fingers, holding it up in the air.

Buzz!

A faint aura appeared between Jiang Chen's two fingers.

Chick! Chick! Chick!

The leaf between his fingers was divided into five parts longitudinally.

Jiang Chen placed the five parts of the leaf in his palm and showed them to everyone.

"This..."

Everyone looked at the leaves in Jiang Chen's palm, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

The five parts of leaf in Jiang Chen's hand, whether in width or length, were identical, and the cut was smooth, as though it had originally grown that way.

"I know all you seniors can achieve this, but can you do it without using the power of the Great Dao, without a trace of spiritual power, and without any Primordial Spirit Power, purely using your own Sword Intent?"

Jiang Chen said calmly.

"What!?"

"How is that possible? Without controlling with the power of the Great Dao, the Sword Intent would wreak havoc!"

"Indeed, just using Sword Intent, it's good enough to maintain it in one direction. Hitting the leaf would definitely result in destruction!"

"Yes! Intent is naturally a dispersive force; how could it be controlled without power to achieve this!"

Everyone voiced their disbelief.
