To the Northwest Lands, there weren't many experts in the Restructuring Realm. The secret techniques that they could comprehend were powerful enough.

As for the Nine Flower Scripture, it was even more abnormal. Although it was only a Secret Skill, its power was comparable to a low-rank forbidden technique. Even the master of the family had not mastered it yet.

Zhan Xiao Ran's words made her doubt in her heart. How could a Sky Xuan Master see through the mysteries of the Nine Flower Scripture?

The Nine Flower Sutra had a total of nine realms. Once it was reached, nine would return to one. The countless amounts of battle qi would turn into a single sword light, taking away people's lives and becoming formless.

One could reach the level of an army by relying on battle qi, but the Nine Flower Scripture was far more powerful than that. A sword would appear formless, and the heavens and earth would become swords. This was the true meaning of heaven and earth; however, she had only heard of it before and had never understood it.

Now that Zhan Xiao Ran had said this, she naturally didn't think much of it. Let alone the disciples of the Divine Seal Sect, even those of the Divine Seal Sect wouldn't be able to perceive this.

The head of the family once said that the ancestor's comprehension of the Nine Flower Scripture had far surpassed that of ordinary people. It was likely that only those in the remoulding realm would be able to comprehend the true meaning of the Nine Flower Scripture.

Zhan Xiao thought for a while before replying, "It seems that your ancestor was only half a step old. This secret art can be divided into three layers, but he is split into nine. He must have suffered some internal injuries while he was alive, so his battle qi circulation isn't enough to activate this secret art."

With that said, Gu Yun's face turned from anger to surprise.

He had indeed heard from the older generation members of his clan that when that ancestor tried to break through the remoulding realm, he was met with calamity and his meridians were damaged.

Everyone in the family knew about this matter, including a few seniors. Those existences would usually stay in seclusion, so how would Zhan Xiao Ran know about it?

Moreover, the secret techniques Zhan Xiao Ran mentioned were divided into three levels and nine levels. Even she had never heard of them before.

Zhan Xiao looked at Gu Yun, and said after a moment: "With your talent, it shouldn't be a problem, the Spirit Qi in your body is considered strong, you can try using my technique."

"Circulating your meridians through three cycles, changing your original method of wielding the sword from nine swords to three swords. Furthermore, you only use one sword."

"How can that work?"

Gu Yun instinctively opened her mouth to refuse. The Nine Flower Scripture might seem plain and dull, but in reality, it was an extremely heavy source of power, and the violent explosive force instantly tore through everything. If the original nine strikes of the Dou Qi were to be changed to three, the power would definitely be much greater, but how could her meridians withstand it?

"Naturally. How could I deceive such a beautiful woman like you? Try it."

Gu Yun's face instantly flushed red, she hesitated to circulate her meridians, and after three cycles, accompanied by Zhan Xiao Ran's low growl, she suddenly thrust her sword.

Clang!

In an instant, the sound of an extremely violent sword was heard. A flash of qi and the sword was as cold as the wind. The sword broke a big tree in front of it, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.

Gu Yun was shocked. His wrist was in extreme pain, but she was barely able to endure it.

"This... actually can do it? "

In her heart, she was still skeptical. The three slashes were far more tyrannical and faster than the nine originally slashes.

"If you can't comprehend the mysteries of this secret art, even if you've cultivated to the peak of the original ninth level, it won't be very powerful. It's still fine to deal with the breaking through to the next realm, but if you're up against someone at the Restructuring Realm, you won't even have a chance to resist."

Zhan Xiao Ran pondered for a moment before continuing, "If you're practicing this secret technique, it's best not to target boulders and trees. It's best if it's in the water, the sword will appear formless, and the sword will pass without being moved. If you can do that, then it's fine, but as for a higher realm, it's not impossible to destroy the river with a single slash."

"How do you know?"

Almost subconsciously, Gu Yun asked. There was indeed such a record in the Nine Flower Sutra, but it was erased later on, and the later generations guessed that it was because the ancestor wrote wrongly, so they did not follow him to cultivate.

How could she not be surprised? The Nine Flower Scripture had indeed mentioned the 'One Sword Breaks the River'?

"Actually, I'm also a very knowledgeable person. If you follow this technique, you'll be able to reach the peak in less than two years."

Zhan Xiao revealed an evil smile. The secret techniques that he had cultivated before were not comparable to the ones in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that he had the power of the Ancient Azure Family, he could have slightly improved it to the upper tier Forbidden Technique.

However, this way, it might not be in time to bring about a better result.

If Gu Yun knew that it was still this mysterious, her eyeballs would probably fall out.

"Is that true?" Gu Yun's eyes lit up with flames of excitement. She had already studied the Nine Flower Scripture for dozens of years and had never reached the peak of its power before. If she were to mature within two years, she would surpass all the other members of the clan, and even the older generation would lose her in front of her.

"Of course I'm serious. In any case, I won't be able to escape from the Divine Seal Sect. If you don't succeed within two years, I'll be willing to let you drive me. I'll be able to provide food and shelter either way."

"You … A glib tongue! " A hint of shyness surfaced on Gu Yun's face. While she was rejoicing, her face also revealed a hint of an ending.

"Sigh, if only I knew two years earlier …"

Zhan Xiao Ran didn't say anything. The sadness in his eyes earlier was exactly the same as before. It seemed like this young miss of the Cang Gu clan was someone with a story behind her back then.

He had experienced too much. He had long since seen through all the various emotions in the world. Even if the other party was unwilling to speak, he would not pursue the matter.

"If we meet again two years later, I'll invite you to the best restaurant for a drink." Gu Yun suddenly said.

"Mm. Alright." Zhan Xiao nodded.

Gu Yun's face revealed some curiosity as she stared at Zhan Xiao and asked, "Aren't you curious?"

With her talent and background, coupled with her beauty, there were very few people who were not interested in her. Almost all of them wanted to kneel down and propose to her, and although Zhan Xiao Ran sometimes spoke of it openly, she could see that her opponent was not actually interested in her, at least not on a male or female level.

"Of course I'm curious. I'm bored along the way, so it's good to have something to say to relieve my boredom. It's all up to you." Zhan Xiao reclined on the back of the Earth Dragon and closed his eyes in a relaxed manner.

In this way, Gu Yun actually felt a bit more relaxed. She slightly hesitated and said: "Besides the Three Realms, I am going to be forced to accept the marriage proposal from the son of the City Master of Blackcurrent City."

"Forced?" Zhan Xiao opened his eyes. The name of the Venerable Azure Faction was extremely famous. How could a grand young miss be forced into marriage by someone else?

A hint of melancholy appeared on Gu Yun's beautiful face as she said in a low voice: "The City Lord of Blackcurrent City is berserk, his power is strong, and there is a violent wind below his knees. He is a savage person and addicted to alcohol and sex, three months ago he proposed marriage and said that he must agree to this Spring Hunt, or else … Cang Gu family is looking down on Black Stream City, so when they meet each other in the future, they will be enemies. "

"Oh? Could it be that the Cang Gu Family is actually afraid of Blackcurrent City? "

Zhan Xiao Ran was curious. Even though Black Stream City is powerful, with their power, if they were to fight against the ancient families, it would only result in a mutual destruction.
