Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!

What startled them was not what she ate, but the three-day time limit.

In the historical records of the Yuan Martial Academy, each of the exceptional geniuses who had comprehended the statue's Tao had spent several months at the very least. There was even one who sat cross-legged for three years; the shortest time taken was two months.

Three days? How could that be possible?

Just when everyone thought Guang Xiaoyu would argue, she unexpectedly agreed without hesitation.

Everyone: "..."

Bai Yunfei sneered, "Please!" He had merely mentioned a time offhand and could have easily changed it. However, this foolish girl's ready agreement surprised him. Since that was the case, he wouldn't be courteous anymore.

Li Pu, standing to the side, frowned slightly, wanting to speak but holding back.

With a grand wave of her hand, Guang Xiaoyu walked straight towards the tall statue and then said, "Just you wait."

Lao Huang the ox slowly approached, acting as her guardian.

The Demon Emperor, reborn, was starting everything from scratch, but her cognition, knowledge reserves, and some Enlightenment techniques remained. Furthermore, she had now cultivated many powerful Taoist arts, including the Nine Revolutions Demon God Skill. She had also merged with the eyes of the Primitive Demon God, acquiring the Three Great Mysteries of Insight and Reincarnation. Her aptitude had clearly increased significantly.

The moment she extended her Divine Sense, she perceived a layer of a seal.

So that's how it is!

Guang Xiaoyu's lips curled into a smile as she guessed the seal's purpose. It must have been a seal arranged by the first Academy Head when leaving behind the inheritance. It was exceptionally well-concealed, making its fluctuations very difficult to detect. The seal protected the inheritance while also preventing people from realizing the chance to obtain it.

Utilizing her insight, her Divine Sense easily entered the statue's interior. Inside was a murky world where a tall figure, upon seeing her arrival, immediately swung a longsword. Radiant light burst forth, filling the sky with a stunning, eye-catching brilliance that was truly splendid. But within it, a powerful Sword Intent was concealed.

It was actually the Luminous Sword Technique.

Guang Xiaoyu was surprised. Above the Nine Heavens, a certain individual had achieved Tao Verification through Sword Dao and practiced the Luminous Sword Technique. She hadn't expected to find his inheritance here.

Could it be? she wondered. Was that person from Heaven Martial?

After the tall figure swung his sword for some time, he slowly lowered the Longsword. Then, upon closer inspection, his face changed drastically as he exclaimed, "It's you?"

Well, I'll be! It really is the Luminous Sword Saint, Guang Xiaoyu thought.

Her smile brimmed with joy. "Little guy, we meet again!"

The Luminous Sword Saint was terrified. She's from the Demon Tao, and I'm a Human Clan cultivator! Back in the Nine Heavens, our clans clashed constantly!

"How... how did you get here?" The Luminous Sword Saint swallowed nervously, his voice trembling slightly.

"Oh, just taking a walk down here," Guang Xiaoyu said with a smile. "Hand over the Luminous Sword Technique to me!"

The Luminous Sword Saint inwardly despaired. WHIMPER! Damn it all! This is my Tao Verification legacy, my life's work! I left it on the Heaven Martial Continent to find a successor, not to gift it to some great demon!

He felt like crying but had no tears. "Empress, you can't do this."

Guang Xiaoyu's smile faded, and she looked very displeased. "You won't give it?"

The Luminous Sword Saint said sullenly, "You're the Empress! How can you rob a Saint of his inheritance? Isn't that inappropriate?"

Guang Xiaoyu's expression turned stiff. "You think I fancy your Luminous Sword Technique?"

"Isn't that so?" he asked, puzzled.

"You're spouting bullshit!" Guang Xiaoyu cursed. "That trash sword skill of yours? I can have as many of those as I want. Why would I covet yours?"

She wasn't lying. Having lived for over a hundred thousand years, she had collected countless powerful cultivation methods, including those of Sword Dao. Putting aside her past, just the Abyss Sword Tao within little Hei's body felt as if she might not completely understand it even if she spent her whole life trying. A mere sword technique inherited from a Saint was naturally beneath her notice.

Yet, due to her bet with Bai Yunfei, she had no choice but to comprehend it...

Guang Xiaoyu threatened, "If you don't hand it over, I'll demolish this statue of yours, destroy this inheritance, and end your Saintly lineage."

With a sheepish smile, the Luminous Sword Saint said, "Don't! I'll give it, I'll give it right away." As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger and sent out the Luminous Sword Technique.

The look on Guang Xiaoyu's face finally softened, and she huffed, "You must be out of your mind to set up such a shoddy seal for the inheritance here. Did you really think any of these young people could break it?"

Luminous Sword Saint: "..."

"I can't be bothered to argue with you." Having obtained the inheritance, she didn't want to linger any longer and promptly left the statue.

「Outside!」

Guang Xiaoyu slowly opened her eyes.

"Did she fail?" Someone saw her open her eyes and couldn't help but show surprise.

It had only been about ten minutes since she began her Enlightenment; seeing her open her eyes, they assumed she must have failed. Many of the younger generation shook their heads, filled with regret.

It was too quick.

"No way, she failed just like that?"

"Is the genius from the Wuji Sect all hype and no substance?"

"Perhaps she hasn't even started yet!" After some discussion, silence fell again.

Everyone was eager to know the reason. Even a cultivator with no perceptiveness could stand here and last for a while, yet Guang Xiaoyu had only been there for ten minutes...

Bai Yunfei laughed heartily. "Are you ready to eat shit?"

Guang Xiaoyu's lips curved upward. "I am ready."

No sooner had she spoken than there was an uproar. She really had failed. The inheritance left behind by the first head of the Yuan Martial Academy wasn't something just anyone could comprehend; not even those with Divine Bodies could, so naturally, it was thought impossible for Guang Xiaoyu.

However, thinking about the "eating shit" part, their expressions inevitably turned odd.

"Whose are you going to eat? Or will you eat your own?" Guang Xiaoyu stared at him intently.

The crowd was stunned.

Li Pu raised his head.

The smile on Bai Yunfei's radiant face froze instantly. He stared fixedly at Guang Xiaoyu as a sense of foreboding pounded in his heart.

Continuing, Guang Xiaoyu said, "Who will bring a bucket over?" She glanced around at all the astonished faces, clearly not yet grasping the situation.

She smirked devilishly and raised her hand to execute the Luminous Sword Technique.

A rainbow burst forth, filling the space between heaven and earth. The powerful Sword Intent rippled out like waves, causing the air itself to buzz loudly.

Seeing this, everyone was flabbergasted.

The Luminous Sword Technique...

Wasn't this the very inheritance from the statue?

She had actually... comprehended it?

How long did it take?

Was it even ten minutes?

Even Li Pu showed a surprised look.

Bai Yunfei was dumbstruck. It was only after a while that he regained his senses, shouting, "Fake! It's absolutely impossible! The inheritance inside the statue couldn't be comprehended even by Divine Bodies! How could you possibly have done it in ten minutes?"

With these words, many people also snapped back to reality. If she had sat in meditation for three to five days and then displayed the Luminous Sword Technique, they might have believed she had comprehended it. But she had only been sitting for ten minutes.

Is she more of an Ancient Divine Body than Ancient Divine Bodies themselves? It's fake, right?

Doubtful gazes were thrown her way.

Seizing the moment, Bai Yunfei, now much more composed from his initial shock, scoffed, "Exhibiting a fake sword skill to deceive us all? HMPH. Guang Xiaoyu, you've really got some nerve! This is the Yuan Martial Academy!"

Guang Xiaoyu remained unflustered and calmly said, "Whether it's the Luminous Sword Technique or not, I believe the seniors of the Yuan Martial Academy know best."

Just then, a middle-aged teacher approached, his eyes fixed intently on Guang Xiaoyu. "Could you perform it once more?"
