When the small Guan Yue grew to adult size, the enormous, expanding Guan Yue had already reached a height of over ten meters.
Then, amidst the Nine-Colored Radiance, the large and small Guan Yue began to draw closer to each other. As the two Guan Yue approached, Guan Yue's own Consciousness gradually faded away.
Just as Guan Yue was losing its sense of self, the large and small Guan Yue began to merge. During the merging process, golden light and Black Radiance intertwined, while the Nine-Colored Radiance enveloped the bodies of both Guan Yue, preventing any trace of energy from escaping.
Under this overwhelming brilliance that dimmed the heavens and earth, all the essence of the gigantic Guan Yue slowly flowed into the new Guan Yue's body.
As the essence was completely transferred, the massive Guan Yue dissipated with the wind, while the new Guan Yue awakened peacefully!
This lengthy process was Guan Yue's breakthrough to the Guardian Realm.
Now that Guan Yue had reached the Guardian Realm, there were no risks or difficulties; everything proceeded naturally and smoothly.
However, it was this process—the transition between the new body and the old—that deterred countless Disciples. They dared not attempt to break through to the Guardian Realm until they were nearing the end of their lives, at which point they would risk their final moments for a chance at success, but with a success rate of only one in ten thousand.
Because if there was even a one in ten thousand mismatch between the new body and old body, it could result in failure and lead to a Disciple's demise.
In this sense, everyone who became a Guardian Realm Practitioner was a genius! Especially those who achieved this at a young age; each had their own strengths and relied on them.
Guan Yue's greatest reliance was on Nine Pulse Will and Magic Supreme Technique. Additionally, there was a bloodline inheritance that even Guan Yue could not fully comprehend.
Guan Yue successfully became a low-tier Disciple of the Guardian Realm.
After becoming a Guardian Realm Practitioner, Guan Yue experienced the new abilities brought by Gao Yuxin's secondary activation. This secondary activation was indeed very useful. At least it increased his self-protection capabilities by more than ten times. Besides mechs and laser guns, Guan Yue also had many other advanced options available, such as Mind Awareness Correction Technique, Mental Restoration Technique, Perfection of Consciousness, Vision Enhancement Technique, and more.
Now, only now, did Guan Yue's Composite Domain truly become powerful. Compared to others' domains, it was not inferior in any way; in fact, it was even stronger. Guan Yue's domain remained Composite Domain because what it contained was unique and unmatched by other Disciples.
Guan Yue completed the devouring in the mountain valley and, after some initial understanding, returned to the tomb of Lahong Great Sage with Chu Shaotian on his back. Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia were still in their respective caves, comprehending the legacies they had received and had not yet emerged.
Only Jin Xi was reflecting on the benefits of being human. She understood that the greatest gain from being human was experiencing human emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. If one could grasp these emotions, they would have achieved half of what it means to be truly human; the other half consisted of strong desires, deception, mutual friendship and betrayal, as well as the use of strategy.
As a woman, she needed to first understand human emotions. This was a decision she made even before becoming human. Therefore, she needed to start learning now.
Just then, she saw Guan Yue returning and immediately walked over to him. She said to Guan Yue, "Senior Brother Guan, I need to experience various aspects of being human. Can you help me?"
"Then let's start with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. You can help me with this, right?" Jin Xi asked with rare sincerity.
"Of course," Guan Yue replied and then slapped Jin Xi hard across the face. Five distinct finger marks immediately appeared on her delicate face.
Jin Xi glared angrily and said, "How dare you hit me?"
Guan Yue retorted angrily, "Let me tell you, you are angry right now. This is anger. Do you understand?"
Jin Xi quickly realized, "So this is how anger arises?"
Guan Yue's expression changed: "How did you become such a woman? So ugly! Why don't you turn into a pig instead?"
Jin Xi flared up again: "How dare you say I'm ugly? Am I ugly? I look like this because I am a beauty chosen among thousands. You actually call me ugly; you're just talking nonsense." Her originally beautiful face turned red with anger, and tears almost spilled from her eyes.
Guan Yue suddenly smiled: "Jin Xi, this is also anger. Do you know? Anger is an expression of discontent and disagreement; it arises when one feels unfairly treated or receives unrecognized evaluations or unreasonable treatment. Of course, extreme aversion or dissatisfaction towards something or someone can also lead to anger."
"Damn it, so it's that easy to get angry," Jin Xi exclaimed. She then asked, "Senior Brother, what about sorrow?"
"It's simple. Think about it: you've spent thousands of years just to become a little girl and still get bullied by us. Isn't that quite sorrowful?" Guan Yue casually replied.
"Haha, I'm not sorrowful at all! I'm much luckier than other spirit beasts; at least I've become a divine beast and a human. I can experience human emotions now. My future is bright! Why should I feel sorrow?" Jin Xi loudly refuted.
Guan Yue hurriedly hung up the truce sign and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong. You should wait until Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia come out before asking. These questions are too profound for me."
Jin Xi laughed heartily and said, "Damn it, after all this time, you don't understand emotions either. I'm not the only one who doesn't get it."
At that moment, Guan Yue became aware that Jin Xi wouldn't be able to grasp complex thoughts quickly, so in the future, he would have to speak directly to her.
Then Guan Yue asked, "Have you learned the Li Zu Divine Fist?"
"I've learned it all! Do you want to spar with me?" Jin Xi immediately responded eagerly. Guan Yue smiled wryly and said, "Let's talk about it later; it's not convenient here."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you to make good on that promise. Haha," Jin Xi exclaimed loudly.
Guan Yue shook his head secretly; Gao Yuxin truly had no heart, while Jin Xi was just not fully developed. He was no match for her; she was a divine beast!
Guan Yue quickly avoided Jin Xi, then entered various rooms in the tomb to collect all the Treasure. He decided to leave as soon as Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia came out. He needed to find Regretless Sage and see if there was a chance to get close to him.
During the days of waiting for Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia to emerge, Guan Yue practiced repeatedly and found that the demonic energy within him was growing stronger. Moreover, the suppression method from the Ninth-Level Spirit Beast Professor seemed to be failing; every time he used Origin Energy, some black gas would escape his body. What worried Guan Yue even more was that the mass of black mist deep in his mind had loosened significantly and was continuously releasing thick mist filled with immense power, which surged toward his Palace Sea. The volume of black gas in his Palace Sea had already exceeded half and was compressing the golden gas.
"It might be losing control," Guan Yue lamented. He thought about how he had just been explaining to Jin Xi what true sorrow was, but now he was genuinely sorrowful. If his magic went out of control during a battle with an opponent, how could he survive in this world? Wouldn't those protective Disciples consider him a public enemy and come after him together?
Right now, he barely reached the Miraculous Realm, with no ability to resist their encirclement!
What should he do?
What should he do?
Guan Yue racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution. He had no choice but to seek advice from Gao Yuxin.
After extensive calculations, Gao Yuxin offered her suggestion: "Brother Guan, Senior Brother, your current realm is already quite high. Plus, you have mechas and a Laser Gun. So you can protect yourself."
Guan Yue angrily said, "If I am being chased all day, how can I cultivate?"
"If you are being chased all day, your cultivation will definitely improve faster," Gao Yuxin replied calmly. Guan Yue knew she couldn't come up with a good solution either, so she decided to put it aside for now. Whatever, at worst, I can just announce to the world that I, Guan Yue, have cultivated the Magic Supreme Technique, and everyone can come after me!
Suddenly, Guan Yue remembered that Georgina from the Vast Empire's True Dragon Academy also practiced Magical Techniques from time to time. When she fought against her, it didn't attract the attention of others. With this thought, Guan Yue felt a bit more at ease.
When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, let it flood. Forget about it.
Naijia was the first to break through and come out. Guan Yue told her about Chu Shaotian and informed her that Hu Feng and Hexi Wang had already fallen. Now Li Xiaohui was missing.
Before long, Huangfu Jiayin also emerged. Guan Yue recounted the situation to her again. The two of them felt immense pain seeing Chu Shaotian unconscious. They deeply missed Hu Feng because they had become friends during their time at Dragon Lake Academy and had shared many exchanges. They never expected that their farewell in front of the tomb would be a permanent separation.
Guan Yue couldn't help but sigh repeatedly; she had lost Hexi Wang among the four people in her dormitory in an instant. It seemed that Chu Shaotian's cultivation was also in jeopardy. Hu Feng, who had come with her, was suddenly gone as well, making him truly feel how unpredictable life is and how fleeting it can be.
Even though he had lived two lives, seeing familiar faces around him fade away still left Guan Yue with immense heartache.
Guan Yue said to the three of them, "We are preparing to leave here now; I have collected everything. Jin Xi, you carry Chu Shaotian; Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia will keep watch while I scout ahead."
Jin Xi immediately opposed, saying, "Senior Brother, let me scout; you carry Chu Shaotian. I am more familiar with the environment than you." She was very pleased to call Guan Yue Senior Brother, so she often used that title instead of Master, which felt suffocating to her. Why should I call a little brat Master?
In fact, it was she who had taken the initiative to call Guan Yue that because she was genuinely afraid of what Guan Yue might do to her and wanted to please him. Guan Yue didn't force her into it; however, she was carefree and now blamed all the responsibility on Guan Yue.
