[You looked at your alluring Fifth Senior Sister, and for a moment, you felt slightly dazed.]
[Fifth Senior Sister was stunningly beautiful. Unlike Ye Chuxue's pure and delicate charm, she exuded a seductive, enchanting beauty that could captivate any man.]
[Under her bewitching charm, you nearly lost your composure.]
"Senior Sister Gu, you should put away your charm technique. Your Junior Brother is getting a little scared!"
"Scared? What is there to be afraid of? It is not as if I am going to eat you."
[Fifth Senior Sister's voice curled around your ears, and after speaking, she breathed a stream of warm air toward you.]
[In the next moment, she immediately moved away and sat back down on the wooden couch.]
"Go on. What do you want with Eldest Senior Sister?"
[After struggling to calm yourself down, you explained that you wanted to learn about the Great Void Technique.]
"The Great Void Technique? Why are you learning that? Ordinary people cannot cultivate it. Only those with extremely high comprehension of the Laws of Space can do so."
[In response, you straightened slightly and told her that you had already successfully cultivated the Great Void Technique. The reason you wanted to find Eldest Senior Sister was because you had obtained it in a secret realm.]
"What? You actually managed to cultivate the Great Void Technique on your own?"
[Afraid that she might doubt you, you directly used the Great Void Technique right in front of her.]
"So it really is the Great Void Technique? Little Junior Brother, I thought your talent in the Sword Dao was already astonishing enough. I did not expect you to be this gifted in space as well."
[Gu Xinyue stared at you in disbelief, her eyes filled with astonishment.]
[After a moment, Gu Xinyue sighed.]
"Little Junior Brother, it is not that I do not want to tell you. It is just that Eldest Senior Sister's whereabouts are extremely mysterious. On top of that, I have only met her a few times myself, so I do not know much about her either."
"And even the Pavilion Master probably does not know much. Eldest Senior Sister has never spoken about these things."
[Seeing that even Gu Xinyue knew so little, you immediately felt disappointed.]
"Then Fifth Senior Sister, you..."
[Before you could finish speaking, Gu Xinyue cut you off.]
"Stop! Do not call me Fifth Senior Sister. It sounds awful. My name is Gu Xinyue!"
[You had not expected Gu Xinyue to have such an adorable side, and immediately changed the way you addressed her.]
"Senior Sister Gu, then do you know where Eldest Senior Sister is?"
[Gu Xinyue rested both hands under her chin and thought for a long time before slowly speaking a single name.]
"Central Continent."
"Central Continent?"
[You had not expected Eldest Senior Sister to have gone to Central Continent. That would not be easy to search.]
[Central Continent was the largest landmass in the Canglan Realm, its area greater than the other four great continents combined.]
[It could be said that Central Continent was the sacred land of the entire cultivation world of the Canglan Realm, though that was only true for humanity in the Remote Ancient Era.]
[Now, Central Continent was a forbidden zone for humans, filled with countless powerful Bizarre Insects.]
[Seeing your troubled expression, Gu Xinyue earnestly warned you.]
"Little Junior Brother, you are only at the initial Nascent Soul stage right now. I advise you not to go to Central Continent. Otherwise, when the time comes, you will not even have the ability to protect yourself."
[Naturally, you understood that. In places like Qingzhou and Youzhou, the highest cultivation was only Deity Transformation Great Perfection.]
[As for Void Refining cultivators, they might exist, but they were all hidden.]
[And now that you had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, as long as you did not encounter a top-tier Deity Transformation expert, even if you could not defeat them, you could still escape with the Great Void Technique.]
[The reason you kept wanting to find Eldest Senior Sister was because you always felt that the Great Void Technique you cultivated was flawed somehow, though you could not say exactly how.]
"I understand, Senior Sister Gu. I will not go to Central Continent before reaching Deity Transformation."
[Seeing you say that, Gu Xinyue smiled. But very quickly, that smile turned somewhat strange.]
"Little Junior Brother, since you know the Great Void Technique, how about coming with me somewhere?"
[Looking at the odd smile on Gu Xinyue's face, you immediately had a bad feeling.]
"Where?"
[Gu Xinyue deliberately put on a pitiful expression in front of you.]
"Your Senior Sister here is about to break through to the Void Refining realm, but I am currently missing a spiritual herb. So I want you to use the Great Void Technique to help me steal it!"
"Steal?"
[Hearing Gu Xinyue say she wanted to bring you along to steal something, and to use the Great Void Technique to do it, you felt that something about this was very strange.]
"Senior Sister! You are already this strong. Who in all of Youzhou could still be your opponent?"
"If you need it, why steal it? Would it not be better to just take it by force?"
[Hearing that, Gu Xinyue nodded.]
"Little Junior Brother, you make a good point. Taking it by force really is more suitable than stealing. But there are a bunch of old monsters in the Pill Sect, and I am not necessarily strong enough to beat them!"
"What? You want to snatch something from the Pill Sect?"
[At this point, you were completely stunned by Gu Xinyue's idea.]
[From what you knew, in Youzhou, you could offend anyone except the Pill Sect.]
[This was not only because the Pill Sect was the strongest force in all of Youzhou, but also because their alchemy was unrivaled, and every sect maintained good relations with them.]
[Gu Xinyue nodded seriously and explained.]
"I received news that the Pill Sect's Sect Master has already begun gathering the materials needed to refine the Void-Breaking Pill."
"You should know that these Bizarre Insects are naturally strong in soul power. Their success rate in pill refinement is much higher than ours as humans."
[You finally understood why Gu Xinyue had suddenly come back at this time. She had returned to snatch something.]
"Then... Senior Sister, are you confident?"
[Seeing that you actually doubted her, Gu Xinyue shot you an annoyed glare.]
"Of course I am confident. On my own, I originally had about a fifty percent chance. But now that I know you can use the Great Void Technique, I have an eighty percent chance!"
[Seeing that Gu Xinyue had an eighty percent chance of success, you finally relaxed a little.]
"All right then, Senior Sister. When do we leave?"
"In three years."
[Gu Xinyue lightly named a time.]
"How long? Three years from now?"
[Hearing that it would be three years before you went to snatch the item, you froze.]
[Seeing your reaction, Gu Xinyue patiently explained.]
"The reason we still need to wait three years is because one of the main ingredients for the Void-Breaking Pill will only mature in three years."
"I found that spiritual herb before, but when I discovered it, it had not yet matured. Later, I ran into people from the Pill Sect and learned this information from them."
[After hearing that explanation, you could only laugh helplessly. Since you had already agreed to help Gu Xinyue, all you could do was stay in the Sword Pavilion and cultivate for three years.]
[Once you helped Gu Xinyue resolve this matter, she would definitely go to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm when it was time for her breakthrough, so returning to Qingzhou afterward would work out perfectly.]
[After parting with Gu Xinyue, you returned to your grass hut and began cultivating the Taixu Sword Art.]
[One year later, your cultivation broke through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.]
[Seeing how quickly you had broken through, even Gu Xinyue could not help feeling a little jealous of your talent.]
