NOVEL WEB Chapter 8
Chapter 8: The Saint-Level Cultivation Technique, The Holy Maiden’s Turmoil:
In the Sutra Pavilion, all disciples of the Absolute Path Sect could select their preferred cultivation techniques, with the pavilion divided into several floors. The higher the floor, the stricter the entry requirements.
On an ordinary day, the third floor was typically frequented by outer sect disciples. But today, a graceful figure appeared on the third floor, causing an immediate stir.
“???”
The atmosphere froze as everyone gawked in disbelief at the entrance. It was Ling Qianxue!
The Holy Maiden?
What was she doing here!?
As the Holy Maiden Ling Qianxue had access to the top floors of the Sutra Pavilion where more advanced techniques were stored. Yet here she was, on the third floor, where only basic techniques resided.
Every disciple present gasped in astonishment.
“The Holy Maiden… why is she here!?”
“Unbelievable! This has never happened before!”
“What is she doing? She shouldn’t be on this floor!”
Ling Qianxue ignored the murmurs and stares, her focus solely on finding what she sought.
Profound Yin Art…
Her mind was consumed by the solution Su Changqing had offered, and she scanned the shelves one by one.
If Su Changqing’s diary was true, finding the Profound Yin Art could indeed resolve her problems.
After a short search, her eyes landed on a dusty manual tucked away in a corner. Without hesitation, she picked it up, brushed off the dust, and whispered to herself, “This is it.”
Relief flooded her as if the mere possession of the technique had already solved her troubles. She swiftly exited the Sutra Pavilion.
Behind her, the disciples of the Absolute Path Sect were left dumbfounded.
“The Holy Maiden took a low-level technique?”
“I saw it too! That’s the Profound Yin Art, but it’s useless to someone of her level!”
“What’s going on with the Holy Maiden today?”
Soon, word spread across the entire Sutra Pavilion. The Holy Maiden had taken a low-tier manual, causing shockwaves among the sect.

(Inside the Holy Maiden’s Residence)
Back in her room, Ling Qianxue wasted no time.
Trusting Su Changqing’s words more than ever, she sat cross-legged, holding the unassuming manual.
Profound Yin Art…
With no hesitation, she began her practice. As her spiritual energy surged through her body, an intense cold emanated from her, and the room filled with ice.
Ling Qianxue’s formidable talent allowed her to quickly grasp the Profound Yin Art. In no time, the extreme coldness within her body began to ease.
“As Su Changqing said, the chill is truly dissipating! I can now make a breakthrough into the 7th stage God King Realm!” Her eyes gleamed with astonishment, her heart racing with excitement.
Frost covered every surface in her room. If not for Su Changqing’s advice, she might have succumbed to the backlash of the cold energy and seen her cultivation regress.
Suddenly, the Profound Yin manual in front of her began to rise, glowing brightly as it hovered in the air. A powerful wave of energy surged from it, and the manual’s title, Profound Yin Art, disappeared. In its place, new shimmering words appeared:
The Great Nine Profound Yin!
The entire void around her seemed to tremble.
“This… this is… a Holy-Rank Cultivation Technique!” Ling Qianxue gasped in shock, her throat dry with disbelief.
She had always sensed that the technique was more than it seemed, but this revelation exceeded her wildest expectations. What had appeared to be a low-level technique was actually an incomplete Holy-Rank technique!
No wonder the cold in her body had begun to balance, allowing her cultivation to improve and giving her the strength to make a breakthrough into the 7th stage God King Realm.
The highest rank of techniques was the Heaven Rank, but above that, there were God, Holy, and Immortal Ranks. A holy-rank technique in its incomplete form—once completed—could even ascend to the Immortal Rank!
Ling Qianxue could no longer doubt it. Su Changqing’s words in his diary… were true!
“But… does this mean… I’m really going to be Su Changqing’s future wife?”
Her cold, regal face flushed as she recalled the diary’s contents.
If anyone had seen her at that moment, they would be astonished. The aloof Holy Maiden blushing like a shy young girl?
Yet, as she flipped through the diary’s later entries, her expression quickly soured.
“???”
Her eyes widened, her teeth gritting in frustration.
The Witch of the Misty Sea Demon Sect, Murong Dieyi, was also Su Changqing’s Daoist partner?
Why did Su Changqing seem connected to everyone? First, the Princess of Great Yu Empire, and now Murong Dieyi?
Ling Qianxue had heard of Murong Dieyi, the so-called witch of the Demon Sect, infamous for her ruthless reputation and blood-stained hands.
“Good for you, Su Changqing!” she muttered with a scowl, huffing in frustration. She decided to focus on her cultivation instead, pushing thoughts of Su Changqing out of her mind. Her goal now was to make a breakthrough into the 7th stage God King Realm—just one more step!

Meanwhile, Su Youwei still hadn’t fully recovered from her earlier shock. Her eyes grew wide as she muttered, “So, my weakness and sickness are exactly what Su Changqing said? And I… possess the power of the Divine Phoenix?”
Her entire body trembled as Su Changqing’s revelations echoed in her mind like thunder. Not only was he reborn from 10,000 years in the future, but he knew everything about her!
When she read how Su Changqing accurately described Ling Qianxue’s situation and offered a precise solution, she covered her mouth in disbelief.
“Ah!? And he’s married to the witch, too?”
Su Youwei couldn’t help but think of Ling Qianxue of the Daoyi Sacred Sect and Murong Dieyi. “How many Daoist companions does Su Changqing have in the future?”
Her cheeks puffed in frustration. Su Changqing truly seemed like a scoundrel!
Just then, footsteps approached. A deep, magnetic voice echoed from outside the door.
“Wei’er.”
A middle-aged man with an imposing aura entered the room. Upon seeing him, Su Youwei snapped out of her thoughts.
“Father? What are you doing here?”
“I came to see my darling daughter.” Su Qingyun’s stern expression softened as he smiled at his beloved child.
Su Youwei blinked in surprise. Even Dad can’t see the contents of the diary?
“Father, I have something to ask you!” Her voice turned serious as she prepared to confirm the truth of Su Changqing’s words.
Su Qingyun raised an eyebrow but nodded. “Of course, ask away.”
“Tell me honestly, Father. Is the mark on my forehead really the Divine Phoenix Mark? Do I really possess the power of the Divine Phoenix, which you sealed?” She pointed to the mark on her forehead, her voice filled with determination.
Su Qingyun’s eyes widened in shock. “Wei’er… How do you know about that?”
“Don’t worry about how I know, Father. Just answer me—yes or no.”
“…”
“Father!”
Finally, Su Qingyun sighed and nodded. “Yes, when you were born, a vision appeared in the heavens for three days, and the Divine Phoenix entered your body. But its power was too immense, so I sealed it. I intended to tell you when you were older… I didn’t expect you to find out so soon.”
