1374 Submit to Her and Acknowledge Her as Your Master

Jian Ai couldn’t help but nod and heave a sigh of relief.

Previously, when Uncle Ji said that there was no news of Ye Liushang, she couldn’t help but worry.

Jian Ai was unfamiliar with Ye Liushang. She had never seen this person before, and she had heard information about him only from Bai Zhou and the High Priest.

Even Bai Zhou had only seen him twice, and the person who was most familiar with Ye Liushang was the High Priest. Because the High Priest suffered a backlash from his internal energy when he was cultivating the Mysterious Underworld Technique back then, his body suffered some severe injury. At that time, he went to Qiusi to look for Bai Zhou and Bai Zhou recommended Ye Liushang. He also took a dose of blood from Ye Liushang’s body, which allowed the High Priest’s body to quickly recover.

Ye Liushang was ranked first among the twelve guards and was known as the Blazing Fire Phoenix. She had heard from the High Priest that the Soul of the Undying Bird was sealed in Ye Liushang’s body. He had phoenix blood and cultivated the power of the phoenix.

The ancient sect had been around for a thousand years, and no one among the previous generations of the Blazing Fire Phoenix could cultivate the power of the phoenix to the peak. However, Ye Liushang had already perfectly ended the competition in his twenties. It could be seen how compatible his outstanding cultivation talent was with the power of the phoenix in his body.

The High Priest once told Jian Ai that no one in the world could kill Ye Liushang, including the High Priest himself. The reason was that the Undying Bird sealed in Ye Liushang’s body gave him the power of immortality.

Jian Ai couldn’t help but feel surprised after knowing Ye Liushang. If Yu Wuyuan was already the strongest person she had ever seen, how powerful would Ye Liushang be as someone above Yu Wuyuan?

Jian Ai could not imagine it.

However, Ye Liushang would be on the island soon. By then, she could see the person she had been curious about for a long time.

“I initially thought that the cultivation of every ability had its own rules. Although the power of blood in your body is evil, it’s essentially no different from other abilities,” the High Priest said. “However, after a year of hard work, I realized that I’ve underestimated this power of blood. It’s like something that has its own consciousness and won’t be easily controlled. Sometimes, it will even deliberately go against your consciousness.”

“I still remember that the more you wanted to control it in the beginning, the more it rampaged in your body to compete with you. This would not appear in other cultivation abilities. To master abilities, one only needed to work hard and cultivate skills step by step. However, to the power of blood, hard work and skills seem to be useless. You can only rely on your increasingly powerful willpower!”

The High Priest was telling the truth. As the person involved, Jian Ai had a deep understanding of it. She couldn’t help but nod. “It’s as if I’m fighting for control of the power of blood with an invisible force. Whoever’s will is stronger can control this ability.”

Si Yue chimed in, “The Demon Emperor, the founder of dark-type cultivation, cultivated the power of blood. Brother Bai Zhou also said that after the ancient sect’s Zhenren Chuiyuan destroyed the Demon Emperor with the Fantasy Star Arrow, this power of blood already had mental strength. Before the Demon Emperor turned to ashes, it automatically extracted and attached to Zhenren Chuiyuan. Only then did the power of blood inexplicably become the ancient sect’s forbidden technique.”

“Since the power of blood has mental strength, the control the Sect Master felt when she was cultivating should compete with the power of blood itself. It doesn’t want to be easily controlled by you, but if your mental strength is strong enough, you can control and use its moves.”

“Si Yue is right,” Ji Yansong agreed. “This is also the reason I’ve asked you to focus on cultivating your mental strength over the past year. Fortunately, you’ve also grasped the foundation of the power of blood. However, cultivating a higher mental cultivation technique might require you to work twice as hard, so I asked Ye Liushang to help.”

“The Soul of the Undying Bird is sealed in his body, so the power of the phoenix also contains mental strength! Although the power of the phoenix and the power of blood are one good and one evil, I have to admit that the two of them have the same cultivation method. Ye Liushang also needs mental strength to control the power of the phoenix, so he’s the person who can help you the most in cultivating mental strength!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yansong stood up and walked up to Jian Ai. Then, he slowly said, “The next few days will only be more difficult, but there’s no choice. Everything is for the Sect Master’s safety. Sect Master, please do your best.”

“Only when you return to China safely, can I answer to the ancient sect!”

These words were quite heavy, but this was indeed the burden Ji Yansong had placed on him. He was the one who took the Sect Master away to help her cultivate. If anything happened to Jian Ai by his side, or even an accident, he, the High Priest, would become a sinner of the ancient sect.

Not to mention that Bai Zhou and the other sect members would not forgive him, but even he could only die.

Jian Ai knew the burden of the High Priest. Moreover, even if not for the High Priest, she had to work hard for herself, her family, and friends.

Although the power of blood was evil, after a year of contact, Jian Ai had gradually established a deep connection with it.

Especially after breaking through layer by layer, Jian Ai understood that the power of blood was already an undeniable part of her body. Neither of them could pull away from the other, and she could only control it through hard work.

“Uncle Ji, don’t worry. I won’t let our efforts be in vain. This power of blood will completely belong to me in the end.” Jian Ai smiled, determination filled her eyes.

No matter what, she had to make this power of blood submit to her and acknowledge her as its master!

Seeing the light in Jian Ai’s eyes, Ji Yansong knew that her cultivation bottleneck did not discourage her, and he immediately felt relieved.

The reason he said these words today was to remind Jian Ai that everything was not smooth sailing. The most important thing was her attitude.

Secondly, he was also looking forward to Ye Liushang’s arrival. He could do nothing for the rest of his cultivation, but he believed that Ye Liushang’s arrival would allow the Sect Master’s power of blood to improve qualitatively.

When she returned to her room, Si Yue followed her in. When she mentioned Ye Liushang just now, he had been listening silently at the side. Every time Si Yue, who had always had an iceberg face, mentioned Ye Liu Shang, his expression would fluctuate.

This was the only time he had felt admiration for someone he had never seen before. Just hearing about Ye Liushang from others was enough to make Si Yue respect him.

Therefore, he seemed to look forward to Ye Liushang’s arrival on the island more than Jian Ai.
