Chu Feng understood that Yaoyao saw the enemies he had to face and the situation in which he could easily die as a necessity . He would also have to die if he could not make it through and forced himself to set foot into the starry sky .

Yaoyao was considerably calm and collected . She played down the risky conditions that Chu Feng had faced and did not regard them with any importance .

In this situation, even if Chu Feng was incapable, she had to say he was capable!

Besides, he was firm in his resolution . How could he be too afraid to go forward? He had to forge on!

Yaoyao did not pass on doctrines from master to disciple, and she was direct in her words . She had reached the peak of that kind of journey, and there was no need to make someone repeat it . She only spoke of each realm's misconceptions and told Chu Feng to be careful .

"Your current breathing technique isn't bad . You don't need to switch to a different technique . "

Chu Feng was visibly moved . Yaoyao actually knew of the breathing technique he'd mastered? At the same time, he felt relieved . Yaoyao was not passing on her doctrines because she thought his breathing technique was already very good .

Chu Feng activated the breathing technique passed on to him by Yellow Ox and inquired about its origins .

"Dao Induction!" Yaoyao told him solemnly . Her smile reduced slightly and she said, "Looking at it at the surface level, its meaning is induction of the great dao . I have also practiced it . "

Chu Feng was instantly startled . This was the first time he had heard this kind of Ultimate Breathing Technique's name .

"At that time, the mother star faced a catastrophe and this Dao Induction was one of the reasons . " Yaoyao started talking in a dull voice .

However, to Chu Feng's ears, this kind of flat language was like a sudden clap of thunder, and its explosion left him a bit stupefied . This breathing technique had such a large involvement!?

Chu Feng knew this was the Ultimate Breathing Technique . He had heard Yellow Ox talk about it, but he never imagined it was this extraordinary .

"It was only one of the reasons, there were a number of other things . It actually makes people green with envy and leads powerful enemies to lust after it . " Yaoyao was very mild with neither joy nor worry . While mentioning old affairs, she was extremely calm and collected .

Chu Feng's state of mind moved up and down, and he could not remain calm . He earnestly inquired, in the end, what was it all about!?

"Mentioning certain matters now will bring you only harm and a hindrance . If you are even the least bit careless, those heaven-illuminating old fools will see right through you . " She swatted at the mountainous region with all her might .

In a split second, golden mushroom clouds rose from Mount Longhu . The domains were activated, accompanied by primal chaos . The scene was frightening and dreadful .

This was the capital of Daoism, and sure enough, it was formidable . The primal chaos and the golden mushroom clouds covered the mountainous regions and locked down its aura . At this moment, Yaoyao began speaking again .

"I'll only speak of Dao Induction . Although it is strong, I don't think it can be called the strongest in the world . At most, it is comparable to the top ten great star worlds' ultimate breathing techniques, even somewhat weaker . How about we rank it at number eleven?"

Yaoyao's words caused a severe shake in Chu Feng's heart . As it turned out, the breathing technique he had mastered originated from Earth, and it ranked eleven among the foundational techniques?

Yaoyao's eyes were bright and had a spiritual nature in them as she shot a glance at Chu Feng and asked, "Are you disappointed?"

According to her, she and Chu Feng had both mastered could reluctantly be considered ultimate—it was ranked eleventh in the universe .

Chu Feng shook his head . He wasn't disappointed . There were so many races in the universe, and the powerful races numbered in the hundreds of thousands . A breathing technique that could rank among the top ten thousand already counted as first-rate, to say nothing of rank eleven!

"The top ten have remained constant since ancient times, and they are indeed very powerful . " Yaoyao had a weak smile on her face . Although she said this, she was still as confident as ever .

Afterwards, she emphasized that breathing techniques were the foundation and thus incomparably important!

Chu Feng nodded . He also this deeply .

Recently, the more he understood, the more he realized the importance of breathing techniques . As he continuously went deeper, its various aspects would gradually be revealed .

Breathing techniques could evolve the human body and transform the spirit . Afterwards, taboo techniques could even be developed, and furthermore, there would be even more deep-seated things!

The peerless and almighty once said, if one could master one type of top-notch breathing technique, they could even get away with not cultivating secret techniques . This was because once a breathing technique was cultivated to a certain level, remarkable abilities would rush forth, and secret techniques would reveal themselves!

This was to say nothing of ultimate breathing techniques—they were too great!

"If it can be ranked number eleven and reluctantly be counted as an ultimate breathing technique, I am already very satisfied . " Chu Feng was deeply moved .

"If it's only ranked number eleventh, perhaps it can threaten the never-changing top ten . However, it would still be considerably difficult to topple and replace them . The mother star is unlikely to suffer a destructive blow as a result . Back then, there was indeed an entity ranked in the top ten who attacked . That was the heaven-illuminator who had unleashed a bloody slaughter . "

Yaoyao was quite peaceful when she said these words . She was no longer in such high spirits .

Chu Feng knew that the people of her parents' generation, her relatives, her close friends, and everyone she knew during that time had been killed in that war .

Even her astonishingly talented fiancé had left .

A generation and an entire world were both buried!

This was originally an incomparably heavy topic, yet Yaoyao was so calm . Chu Feng did not know what she was feeling right now, but he indeed felt sorry for her .

He just thought of that experience and wondered how he would fare if it were him in her place? It was truly an unbearable weight!

Yaoyao opened her mouth and said, "This is because of another reason . This breathing technique has another secret . "

Another secret? Chu Feng was bewildered .

"The 'Induction' in 'Dao Induction' reveals part of the secret . Legend has it that Dao Induction, this breathing technique that can be reluctantly considered ultimate, is merely the primer of a certain art . The only way to study that art is to practice Dao Induction . "

"Huh!?" This time Chu Feng was quite startled . He was thoroughly shaken, and an alarmed expression was all across his face .

It unexpectedly had this kind of secret and this kind of statement . No wonder it made people green with envy and was even coveted by the Ten Greats . Sure enough, it had a startling influence .

"The method following the Dao Induction was never understood . It was too mysterious and none of us have ever studied it! That kind of level is simply unimaginable!"

This kind of secret information startled Chu Feng quite a bit, and after a long period of time his heart still wouldn't calm down . This was absolutely an enormous secret that could disturb the resplendent sea of stars .

After a period of time, Chu Feng asked, "That breathing technique, why can't you learn it?"

"The Dao Induction is also called the 'Plundered Induction' . It's said that once you finish studying it, you can then steal an unimaginable technique . However, after we mastered it, we did not learn the follow-up and had no way of stealing . "

Every sentence Yaoyao said triggered immense waves . This was a huge secret . It moved Chu Feng and created undulating waves in his heart .

Chu Feng carefully pondered, and his heart quivered . The Dao Induction only served a certain breathing technique . Only by learning Dao Induction would he be able to learn that technique . This was indeed shocking .

Yaoyao said, "In those years, this planet was breached, and all parties vied for the Dao Induction . In the end, a part of it was leaked, so the Ten Greats, as well as individual strong ones, grasped a portion of the technique's remnants .

Chu Feng was surprised to hear this . Yellow Ox had come from the outer realm . Had he passed onto him remnants of the technique?

He immediately activated the technique and informed Yaoyao of the process for obtaining it .

Yaoyao carefully observed and then said, "This portion of the technique can protect you when you enter the carefree realm . "

When Chu Feng heard this, he immediately thought of the silver box he had obtained at Qinling, which he had now hidden it at Mount Eternal . At that time it had made him feel odd . It was precisely because he had activated the Dao Induction that he could obtain the silver box .

"Yes, you're right . A portion of the Dao Induction is hidden there . It couldn't be better that you have already obtained it . I really don't want to excessively meddle in your track; you have to break through on your own!"

Chu Feng was happy yet at the same time worried . The technique Yellow Ox had studied wasn't complete . He had to tell him as quickly as possible, then pass it on .

"Don't worry . Mount Eternal is the supreme secret territory of the demons and is a place for training demonic sages . Inside there should be a suitable breathing technique for him . I never imagined, in the end, Mount Eternal would fall on this planet," exclaimed Yaoyao with a slight smile .

Clearly, Mount Eternal used to be in the outer realm .

According to what Yaoyao said, it did not have a fixed location . After a certain period of time, it would change its coordinates in the heavens .

Chu Feng asked Yaoyao how much of the Dao Induction had been leaked .

"It should only be a small portion, but it's not serious as none of the parts regarding forbidden techniques were leaked . Even if a small part could be practiced, you still couldn't make remarkable abilities come forth or make the secret techniques reveal themselves . " Yaoyao paid no attention to it .

This was because, in her mind, the whole Dao Induction only served that secret technique . If that technique couldn't be obtained, then the Dao Induction was still no better than the top ten techniques .

Chu Feng let out a gasp of surprise . The top ten' ancient planets were ranked solely according to the breathing techniques because they had mastered . It was because they had mastered these ultimate techniques that other people would never be able to shake their status!

This increasingly reflected the importance of breathing techniques in the evolutionary process!

At this time, Chu Feng activated the Thunderous Breathing Technique and read the scripture aloud . He told Yaoyao because this was this was one of the top ten supreme ultimate techniques!

"At most, it can only be consummate within the shackled realm," Yaoyao remembered it after only listening to it one time, and she smoothly activated it . Lightly laughing, she said, "The Buddhist race was so shrewd, how could they possibly leak their secret? This remnant technique is only meant for screening heavenly talents, so they intentionally left a few clues so that people could search for it . "

Chu Feng immediately broke out in a cold sweat . In the beginning, he thought he had defied the heavens by forcibly seizing the Buddhist race's ultimate technique from the scripture tube, and now he saw that it was all planned out .

In the future, the moment he encountered an almighty arhat of the Buddhist race, he would be seized within minutes and be converted to Buddhism!

"No good, I still have to tell Yellow Ox . In the event he collects two supreme breathing techniques ahead of time and advances into the carefree realm, there will be trouble . " Chu Feng was concerned .

This was because Yaoyao had told him that there were dozens of shackled realm levels and only by opening all of them could he walk an unrivaled path . Otherwise, there would be great dangers, and if he wanted to make things right, later on, the cost would be immense .

Yaoyao was cool and calm as she smiled and said, "You're so worried . That secret area is where demonic sages are trained, and everything is incomparably particular . If he is approved, then the knowledge passed onto him will be extremely thorough, and there won't be any slip-ups . "

Afterwards, she nodded again and said, "Speaking of which, the Primordial Yak tribe had also fled from our planet . Back during the war, everyone was scattered far and wide as the forebears fled . "

Chu Feng heard this and again asked some more detailed questions, which were answered one by one .

Yaoyao gazed up at the sky and said, "I don't have much time . Is there anything else you'd like to understand?"

Chu Feng had too many things he was puzzled about, but some topics were best abstained from, like the heaven-illuminators' existence . Yaoyao couldn't tell him as she feared he would encounter a mishap .

However, he would understand everything eventually . As he continued to evolve to higher levels, he would have to face it in the end!

"Never have contempt for the top one hundred strongest planets . Back then I too encountered many formidable opponents and experienced fights to the death," warned Yaoyao .

Chu Feng understood . Back then it must have truly been a bloody war for her to repeatedly warn him like this . It was certain that there must've been talented heaven-illuminator level characters among her enemies .

"Also, don't worry too much . In the end, I was without rival, and I suppressed all of them until they couldn't lift up their heads . So what if the Ten Greats have stronger breathing techniques? Humans, in and of themselves, are without peer!"

After Chu Feng heard her say these kinds of words, he displayed a deep approval .

"Your attitude is insufficient to manifest itself as self-confidence . You must have that imposing 'all flowers must wither when I bloom'-attitude . " [1] Yaoyao had the enticing glance of a beauty and laughed lightly as she said, "When you face the divine sons of the Buddhist race and the Dao lineages, you directly say, I am without rival under the starry skies . Come and kneel before me! Yeah, that was what I told them back then . "

Chu Feng listened and was instantly dumbstruck .

不第後賦菊

The Chrysanthemums After Failing the Exam (the national civil exam)

待到秋來九月八,我花開後百花殺

The autumn shall come again next September 8th,

And when the Chrysanthemums bloom all other flowers shall wither .

衝天香陣透長安,滿城盡帶黃金甲 .

Their surging fragrance will fill the entire Chang'an,

As if the entire city was clad in yellow golden armor .
