They all became female demons after being reborn.

Chapter 28 is nothing special!

Gong Yuqing was almost questioning her life, but Wu Cheng's Great Cycle of Heaven and Earth had not stopped.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Cheng completed the thirtieth cycle of the Great Heavenly Circulation!

When the final six cycles of the Great Circulation were completed, Gong Yuqing had subconsciously crushed the peanuts in her hand into powder.

Is that how the thirty-six major cycles are completed?

Gong Yuqing touched the water glass; it was still warm.

The candlelight on the table didn't even flicker, which meant that not a single trace of excess true energy escaped from Wu Cheng's body during the Great Circulation!

She silently picked up and put down the teacup in her hand, then frantically drank water to suppress the tremor in her heart.

The thirty-six major cycles were completed without any harm, and the expected pain did not occur at all.

Either this kid has an exceptionally strong will, able to endure such excruciating pain without flinching, or his meridians are fully open, making it unnecessary to open each acupoint one by one!

Neither of these explanations demonstrates the monstrous nature of this cheap disciple.

How did a sixteen-year-old boy manage to do that?

For the first time, she felt that Xiaobai's words might not be exaggerated, and might even be conservative...

Wu Cheng did not open his eyes, but directly began to proceed to the next step.

He had already memorized the location of the void aperture through the thirty-six cycles of the Great Heavenly Cycle. Soon, he poured the pure true energy he had refined through the thirty-six cycles of the Great Heavenly Cycle into the void aperture to continue refining it.

Before long, he guided a wisp of newly generated Tai Xu Zhen Qi back into his dantian.

But the next moment, something unexpected happened!

After that wisp of primordial energy condensed into a seed of energy in the dantian, it suddenly began to rotate! A powerful suction force was generated out of thin air!

The true energy of the "Heavenly Dao Scroll" that should have dissipated from his body surged forth from all parts of his meridians like a great river, and was instantly absorbed into that energy seed!

Then, after a brief silence, the energy seed suddenly erupted! Boundless true energy instantly surged from the dantian, filling the entire body!

The true qi of the "Heavenly Dao Scroll" was not transformed into the true qi of the Tai Xu Gui Yuan Jue, but although the qi seed stopped erupting at this moment, it was still generating new true qi at all times through its rotation.

The true energy generated is also the true energy of the "Heavenly Dao Scroll"!

However, this true energy did not burst his meridians.

On the contrary, the true energy within his body was being purified and refined almost continuously.

What was originally described as air currents has now become a mighty river, and it is further solidifying.

To put it more simply, the density of his true energy is constantly increasing!

He didn't even need to meditate or cultivate.

Opening his eyes, Wu Cheng was completely convinced. "Master, our Wentian Sect's 'Tai Xu Gui Yuan Jue' is truly a first-rate divine skill! I can improve at any time without even having to practice it myself!"

Yes, it's already "our Wentian Sect".

"Um......"

Gong Yuqing picked up her teacup, took a sip of water, and used the rim of the cup to cover the slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

The process of refining the Great Void True Qi in the Void Aperture and then refining it into the Dantian to cultivate the Qi Seed took her master three years, she herself two years and four months, and Bai Suying seven months. That was a speed unmatched by any other patriarch in history, and even comparable to the founding patriarch.

Wu Cheng... used less than a cup of tea.

The question resurfaced in Gong Yuqing's mind: Is this kid... really human?

"But..." Wu Cheng suddenly frowned.

Gong Yuqing looked up anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Now, in her heart, Wu Cheng is no longer the troublesome fourth prince of Dayu, but her beloved second disciple!

The fact that such a monstrous talent would be thrown out as a hostage by the Great Yu royal family is truly astounding!

How can we possibly fight against the Northern Kingdom while surrounded by these insects?

At this moment, Gong Yuqing was even less willing to be tied to the war chariot of the Great Yu Dynasty.

"Master, it seems there's something wrong with my technique."

Wu Cheng raised his eyes and said, "I had clearly dissipated all my energy, but after I condensed the Qi seed in my dantian just now, that true energy actually surged out from all parts of my body again. In fact, the true energy newly condensed from the Qi seed is still the true energy of the 'Heavenly Dao Scroll'."

"what?"

Gong Yuqing quickly got up, walked over, and reached out to touch his wrist.

She remained silent for a long while.

Wu Cheng's internal energy circulated along a subtle path within his meridians, becoming more refined with each rotation.

This is the standard symbol of the continuous cycle of life after the return to the origin.

He has indeed mastered the first level of the "Returning to the Origin Technique" that I gave him...

The problem is that the inexhaustible true energy in his body is not the Taixu True Energy, but the True Energy of the "Heavenly Dao Scroll".

However, this true energy is deeper, denser, and purer than before.

"Master?" Wu Cheng looked up and asked, "Am I alright?"

"Hmm..."

Gong Yuqing turned her head guiltily, glancing through the window at the tree in the yard. She looked as if she was deep in thought, with a rather unfathomable air about her.

If Bai Suying were there, she would understand that this was not some profound thought, but rather a sudden, incoherent thought after being asked a question she couldn't answer.

So it has already begun...?

A series of images flashed before Gong Yuqing's eyes.

She remembered when her rebellious disciple went to Jian Ge to learn swordsmanship at the age of nine. After returning from the first day, she asked her how her learning went, and her disciple asked her in return, "What is at the end of the way of the sword?"

Her answer at the time was, "You'll understand when you grow up."

Later, when that rebellious disciple was fourteen years old, he asked himself again, "What is the end of martial arts?" Gong Yuqing simply began to live a life of idleness.

The end of martial arts?

LOL, she doesn't even know who her parents are, how could she possibly know what lies at the end of martial arts?

Could it be that all the effort he had put into regaining his authority as a master in front of his new apprentice was about to be over in less than a day?

"Master? Am I quite talented?" Wu Cheng asked tentatively.

He felt that this technique was quite easy to cultivate. Could it be that his talent was really that high?

"That's all there is to it. Not to mention your master, you're far inferior to your unfilial senior sister."

Gong Yuqing gave a cold snort, then leisurely straightened his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the door. "You should focus on your practice first. Don't try to do too much at once. I'll come back to guide you another day."

Her silhouette remained unfathomable, her steps still dignified; she was still the graceful and elegant sect leader of the Wentian Sect!

However, only she knew that she probably wouldn't be able to sleep when she got back, because tonight the Scripture Pavilion would have an extra sect leader from the Wentian Sect sneaking in to browse the ancient books.

Wu Cheng nodded. "We definitely still need to work harder."

However, he was unaware that Gong Yuqing actually meant that he was not as good as Bai Suying or herself as she was now.

However, Wu Cheng couldn't sleep either. He planned to study the condition inside his body again, hoping to make some new discoveries.
