"There shouldn't be a problem then. If there isn't going to be a war within this week, we should be staying here the whole time."

After getting confirmation from Elder Ju, Liang Yi nodded in relief and said.

"Don't worry, it's not just the Central Battlefield, but all five battlefields should not see any large-scale war erupting this week."

Wan Tinggui elegantly put away his talisman, confidently stating.

"Uh? Why is that?"

Liang Yi was taken aback as he had not heard such news from Jiang Fufeng.

"There have been some issues on the Abyss's side, probably too overwhelmed to take further action. Therefore, I took this opportunity to make a move."

Wan Tinggui held his tea cup and gave Liang Yi and Su Youyi a mysterious smile,

"I can't tell you the details, although I am not constrained by the Abyss in terms of actions, I am still limited by the Abyss in some aspects and can't explain things to you too thoroughly."

Wan Tinggui's words discouraged Liang Yi from asking further, leaving him no choice but to give up.

"By the way, the method you used to disguise yourself as an Abyss Cultivator, is it exclusive to you, or can other cultivators also use it?"

Thinking back to how Wan Tinggui deceived Si Feihang and Cen Zian by pretending to be an Abyss Cultivator and infiltrating their group, Liang Yi was extremely interested in this method.

Su Youyi and Yue Bai also curiously looked at Wan Tinggui, eager to know as well.

Elder Ju secretly perked up his ears; even he couldn't figure this out.

"Hmm... this..."

Wan Tinggui put down his tea cup, appearing composed, naturally prepared for Liang Yi's question.

"This method isn't very difficult, but there are some restrictions. At least you wouldn't be able to use it for now."

"That's quite a pity."

Hearing Wan Tinggui's response, Liang Yi felt regretful as it couldn't be used by others.

"Can't use it now? Does that mean it might be possible later?"

Su Youyi quickly noticed what Wan Tinggui had implied.

"This method is also the reason why I sought help from Banished Immortal. If Banished Immortal can find a way, then you might also try it, but if even Banished Immortal can't help, then it's impossible."

Wan Tinggui shifted his posture, spreading his hands towards Su Youyi.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi exchanged glances, coming to a decision.

"Alright, I'll send a message to my master."

Although Liang Yi was somewhat unclear why Wan Tinggui was seeking his master, seeing Wan Tinggui's serious demeanor, it must be something important.

Liang Yi took out a sword-shaped jade his master had given him before he left, slowly infusing a streak of Sword Intent into it.

The jade, agitated by the Sword Intent, lit up the courtyard with its brilliance, turning completely translucent and crystal clear, and Liang Yi could even see tiny luminescent points inside the jade.

Liang Yi carelessly threw it out, drawing a perfect parabola in the air.

The sword-shaped jade, having left Liang Yi's palm, spun and hovered in the courtyard, its white light intensifying until it obscured everyone's sight.

"How come you are using this jade so soon?"

As the light faded, a familiar figure appeared before everyone.

Chen Hua appeared somewhat puzzled; his disciple had only left a few days ago, why was he calling upon him now? He wasn't usually seen even once in half a year; did he start missing his master after just a few days this time?

"It's not us two; someone else is looking for you!"

Facing Chen Hua's puzzled look, Liang Yi shrugged and pointed toward Wan Tinggui who was showing deep respect.

"Young Wan Tinggui, at your service, Banished Immortal."

Wan Tinggui bowed slightly, greeting respectfully.

"Hmm?"

Chen Hua raised his eyebrows slightly, sensing a familiar aura from this person, which surprisingly originated from…

"Are you the daughter of Tian Anyu?"

At Chen Hua's level, familial relations were hardly a secret to him.

"Banished Immortal's insight is as sharp as always."

Knowing she couldn't deceive Chen Hua, Wan Tinggui wasn't surprised at all.

Chen Hua examined Wan Tinggui from head to toe, never having heard from his disciples about her connection with the Saintess of the Devouring Spirit Sect.

"You know about the relationship between your father and me, right?"

Chen Hua's expression was odd; he was the person who had nearly killed Tian Anyu not just once or twice. Calling it a mortal feud was an understatement; how could the daughter of his foe come seeking him on her own?

"I know."

Wan Tinggui had a calm expression; she naturally knew about this and even felt secretly regretful when she learned that Tian Anyu was not dead.

Chen Hua quietly glanced at Liang Yi and noticed the young man gesturing that there were no problems.

"You being able to show up here proves that Liang Yi still trusts you to some extent, and naturally, I won't engage in petty actions."

Since she had already come, Chen Hua no longer cared what relationship his disciple had with this woman, nor did he care if this youngster came seeking revenge.

"So, tell me, what brings you to me?"

After taking his seat, Chen Hua laughed lightly, nodding as he accepted the clear tea offered by Yue Bai, and then with a smile, turned to Wan Tinggui.

If he wasn't mistaken, this would be the reason Liang Yi sought him out.

"Please, senior, take a look!"

Under the suppressed laughter from Liang Yi, Wan Tinggui once again took out an exquisitely crafted pure black jade tube from her myriad treasures mini ring and handed it to Chen Hua.

"Oh?"

Chen Hua weighed the jade tube in his hand, feeling its substantial weight, yet detecting no danger.

"A Cultivation Technique jade tube? Devouring Spirit Scripture?"

Vaguely recognizing the familiar aura inside the jade tube, Chen Hua was momentarily stunned.

"Yes, exactly. It is the fundamental Cultivation Technique of the Devouring Spirit Sect, the Devouring Spirit Scripture."

Wan Tinggui nodded in acknowledgment, her expression serious.

"This time, I would like to ask senior to help in improving this technique!"

"Improve the technique?"

As these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Liang Yi's expression was quite bizarre; the Saintess of Devouring Spirit Sect was asking their mortal enemy to help improve their fundamental Cultivation Technique?

Ah, this...

Has Liang Yi gone silly? What kind of move is this by Wan Tinggui, and why can't he comprehend it?

Su Youyi and Yue Bai were also dumbstruck, utterly confused about the purpose of Wan Tinggui's actions.

"It indeed appears to be the core technique of the Devouring Spirit Sect... It even has a previous version?"

After a brief review, Chen Hua noticed that besides a version of the Devouring Spirit Scripture he had partly understood before, there was also a book that seemed to be the improved version of "Demon Spirit Scripture."

"Is this latest version improved by Tian Anyu?"

"Yes, it's the technique that all members of the Devouring Spirit Sect practice nowadays," replied Wan Tinggui.

Chen Hua, growing increasingly interested, flipped through the two versions of the techniques, marveled more and more at Tian Anyu's extraordinary genius.

It was almost universally known that the Devouring Spirit Sect was formerly the Demon Spirit Sect, but not many knew that Tian Anyu had evolved the fundamental technique of the Demon Spirit Sect into the Devouring Spirit Scripture.

Chen Hua had previously studied a fragment of the Devouring Spirit Scripture and could infer its power from glimpses. Now, seeing the complete and original versions before him, he realized just how much of a genius Tian Anyu truly was.

Though his strength was mediocre at best— if not for his swift escapes, he would have been killed by Chen Hua — his innovative approaches to technique modifications were indeed impressive to Chen Hua.

Luckily, Tian Anyu wasn't around to hear this; who knows how angry he might have been.

Chen Hua carefully compared the Demon Spirit Scripture; although similar in rank, the Devouring Spirit Scripture far surpassed the previous version in terms of refinement.

"Aren't you afraid I'll figure out how to counter your Devouring Spirit Sect members from this Devouring Spirit Scripture?"

Chen Hua's demeanor changed suddenly, becoming somewhat imposing, like a mountain pressing down on Wan Tinggui.

"I trust senior's character, which is why I sought you out."

Wan Tinggui remained calm and composed, her expression unchanging.

"So, how do you want me to improve it?"

Chen Hua chuckled, easing his imposing aura.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi simultaneously rolled their eyes; their master's penchant for scaring people hadn't changed.

Facing this exquisite Devouring Spirit Scripture, Chen Hua truly became interested; he was curious to hear what this junior had to say.

"However, let's get it straight first. Minor changes should be manageable, but if you're expecting something on the scale of changing Demon Spirit Scripture into Devouring Spirit Scripture, I'm not that capable."

"Of course, I would not trouble Banished Immortal senior unnecessarily."

Upon understanding Chen Hua's verbal consent, Wan Tinggui quickly waved her hands, her expression somewhat excited.

"My purpose is simple; I seek senior's help to remove one specific restriction imposed on cultivators practicing this technique in the Devouring Spirit Scripture."

"What restriction?"

"That cultivators of the Devouring Spirit Sect are not allowed to act against the Abyss people."

Wan Tinggui's expression was serious; this was her purpose for seeking the Banished Immortal.
