"Hey kid, what are you thinking?"

A voice called out as Hu Yiqiu descended into the courtyard with Yun Tao.

"Mentor!"

"Elder Wine-crazed."

Jiang Chen and the other rose and bowed in greeting.

"Did senior brother get hurt?"

Jiang Chen glanced at Yun Tao in surprise and spoke.

Yun Tao had fought hard against a late Divine Infant Realm core disciple for a long time to retain his status as a core academy member, severely injuring his opponent. Hu Yiqiu was then taking him to the academy alchemist for spiritual healing.

In the cultivation world, there are no pure doctors; all physicians practice the Alchemy Dao.

At this moment, Yun Tao's face was pale, his aura somewhat feeble, occasionally spilling out mysterious energy from within—clearly, he was wounded at his foundation.

"This young fellow was too desperate, trying to keep his core academy status and injured his Great Dao foundation!"

Hu Yiqiu cast a glance at Yun Tao, with a tinge of blame in his eyes, yet mostly filled with relief and concern.

"Injured his Great Dao foundation!?"

Jiang Chen was shocked, instinctively reached out to check Yun Tao's pulse.

Buzz!

A surge of Divine Sense emitted from his hand, directly probing into Yun Tao's body, circulating within him, moving toward his Sea of Consciousness.

Using Divine Sense to check someone's internal condition is nothing for a Pill Master, but inspecting the Sea of Consciousness offends cultivator taboos, for it hides their most crucial secrets.

Yet Yun Tao offered no resistance, allowing Jiang Chen to examine his Sea of Consciousness.

Inside Yun Tao's Sea of Consciousness.

The little Divine Infant sat cross-legged, listless among the void, surrounded by a small sword and a rock spinning around it—Yun Tao's original power of the Great Dao.

Currently, the two powers of the Great Dao appeared rather dim, constantly spilling out mysterious energy, with fine cracks noticeable on the sword and rock.

"This... how could he be injured so severely?"

Jiang Chen was shocked, looking incredulously at Yun Tao.

Yun Tao chuckled, "Junior brother, not everyone can claim first at the same realm right after a breakthrough like you—I could barely challenge the weakest one, almost lost. If I had lost, the face you earned for mentor would have been tarnished!"

"Reckless!"

Jiang Chen frowned, scolding seriously.

Yun Tao was stunned for a moment.

At this instant, Jiang Chen naturally radiated an aura of dominance, evoking a submissive feeling within him.

Hu Yiqiu's eyes lit up, gazing meaningfully at Jiang Chen, a strange gleam in his eyes.

Although aware that Jiang Chen might have once been a regional leader, Hu Yiqiu hadn't regarded it too seriously, thinking it was mere low-level stuff, considering him perhaps someone of status in the Secular World.

But upon sensing Jiang Chen's aura, Hu Yiqiu realized Jiang Chen might not be as simple as anticipated—such an aura wasn't something even a monarch of the Secular World could achieve!

Why do I feel the aura around this kid... seems deeper than the head of the main academy? Even I feel a hint of submission, this...

Many strong individuals can utilize the Great Dao's might or momentum to evoke submission, but for one's aura alone to induce such a desire isn't common!

What kind of person was this kid before? What kind of disciple have I taken under my wing?

Hu Yiqiu's heart was filled with astonishment, striving to control his expression from showing it.

"Senior brother, the Great Dao foundation is fundamental for comprehending the Great Dao, if it's injured, it affects your comprehension of the Sword Dao and Earth Path, you..."

Jiang Chen suddenly paused, realizing his habit to educate took hold, forgetting this was not Yuan Star, where he wasn't the sovereign, and the one before him was a senior brother, not a follower.

"Junior brother, I understand, I'll be more attentive in the future!"

Without resentment, Yun Tao spoke gently.

"Senior brother, let me try using Dao Rhythm to help restore your Great Dao foundation."

Jiang Chen, coming back to his senses, replied solemnly.

Though the words held a slight inquiring tone, they carried an unquestionable authority.

Hu Yiqiu felt a rush within, gazing deeply at Jiang Chen, increasingly intrigued by his identity, yet refraining from prying if not divulged.

Yun Tao nodded lightly.

The group sat on stone benches, with Jiang Chen pressing his hand onto Yun Tao's brow.

Buzz!

A vibrant aura emanated from Jiang Chen, a green halo enveloped the two, exuding a sense transcending yet not surpassing the Great Dao—this aura was exquisitely close to the core of the Great Dao.

The mysterious aura slowly seeped into Yun Tao's brow as he closed his eyes, his expression incredibly serene, seemingly in deep meditation.

"Elder Wine-crazed, can Dao Rhythm... heal the Great Dao foundation?"

Ouyang Ruoxue queried Hu Yiqiu with puzzlement.

"It can! But it requires profound comprehension of the Great Dao and a deep understanding of the other's original Dao to accomplish this. Young Jiang's Great Dao comprehension is astonishingly high! Yun Tao, like you, follows his training, his strength all controlled by Young Jiang—thus he can attempt to heal his Great Dao foundation."

Hu Yiqiu softly explained, eyes transfixed on Jiang Chen and Yun Tao.

Though that's the rationale, utilizing Dao Rhythm to mend someone's Great Dao foundation demands an extraordinarily high level of Great Dao comprehension.

Hu Yiqiu grasped Dao Rhythm but self-assuredly couldn't claim to mend Yun Tao's foundation wounds.

That's not about cultivation level or the strength of one's Dao comprehension, but about perception—everyone's Great Dao comprehension varies, addressing others' Great Dao wounds requires complete perception of their understanding, demanding exceedingly high perceptive prowess.

Hu Yiqiu knew Yun Tao for decades, personally cultivating him with no secrets between them, yet couldn't assert comprehending Yun Tao's Great Dao.

The Great Dao is countless—even the Sword Dao harbors countless variations.

Each person's perception differs, and their understanding is unique—perceiving another's understanding is essentially impossible, except under specific conditions, unless possessing astonishing perceptive ability!

And presently, this sensational ability emerged gradually before Hu Yiqiu's eyes!

Buzzing, buzzing!

As Jiang Chen healed Yun Tao, the mysterious energy emanating from him weakened, intervals shortening, especially the Sword Dao energy, which was nearly imperceptible!

He, he, he... Can he truly heal the Great Dao foundation?!

Hu Yiqiu's eyes widened, incredulous as he watched Jiang Chen, eyes nearly popping!
