Chapter 1059 Xu Jiaqi
'Although the God of War's Astral Arts is a powerful technique, I don't mind sharing it, especially if I can acquire a powerful soul cultivation technique from it. Xu Jiaqi, she's a powerful cultivator with plenty of influence even within the upper heavens. If it's someone like her, I will definitely acquire an extremely powerful soul cultivation technique…'
While Yuan pondered, Xu Jiaqi suddenly said in a low voice, "In your eyes, the God of War's Astral Arts may be nothing more than a powerful technique. However, the God of War's Astral Arts is more than just a technique to me— it's the founder of the Celestial Overlord— my father's technique."
"Huh?" Yuan suddenly halted all of his thoughts and looked at Xu Jiaqi's beautiful face with a baffled look on his face.
"W-What did you say? The founder of the Celestial Overlord is your father…?" Yuan didn't dare to believe it.
If Xu Jiaqi was truly his daughter in his past life, then what would their relationship be right now? Would they still be considered father and daughter?
"Yes, he is my father, but we're not blood-related. He saved my life when I was on the verge of death. I was just a young mortal who didn't even know about cultivation at that time, and ever since then, I followed him around the Nine Heavens while training under him. We started out as a teacher and disciple, but he eventually accepted me as his adoptive daughter."
Yuan was relieved to find out that Xu Jiaqi wasn't his real daughter but an adoptive one.
'Since she's my adoptive daughter, I guess there's no harm in giving her the technique.'
After taking a deep breath, Yuan spoke in a calm voice, "Alright, you have a deal. In exchange for my God of War's Astral Arts, you will give me a soul cultivation technique."
"Really?!" An excited look appeared on Xu Jiaqi's face, but she quickly concealed it, returning to her serious face.
"Yes, for real. Give me your forehead, I will transfer the technique to you right now." Yuan said.
"Huh? You're willing to give it to me right now even though I don't even have your soul cultivation technique? Are you stupid or what?" Xu Jiaqi couldn't help but make this remark even though it could easily backfire on her.
Yuan chuckled at her insult, "That's quite harsh, Lady Xu. How can you call me stupid when I am doing this out of generosity and trust?"
Xu Jiaqi cleared her throat after hearing his words, "I apologize, I subconsciously blurted that out just now because I was surprised that you would be willing to hand over such a powerful technique to me so easily. I am not used to it."
"So do you want the technique now or…?" Yuan continued to smile.
"I do."
Xu Jiaqi nodded before she leaned forward.
Yuan calmly raised his arm and gently tapped her forehead.
"..." Senior Bai watched this historical moment with wide eyes.
'This is the first time I've seen Lady Xu willingly let another man touch her body, and even on her bare skin directly...' He thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Yuan transferred the God of War's Astral Arts to Xu Jiaqi, who felt oddly nostalgic for some reason.
'This feeling… It's the same as when Father transferred his techniques to me…' Xu Jiaqi thought to herself as she quickly absorbed the information. Freewebnᴏvel.com.
A few moments later, Xu Jiaqi opened her eyes, which flickered with profoundness within.
"It's done." Yuan lowered his hand and said to her.
Xu Jiaqi didn't say anything and suddenly turned around before flying off the platform, almost as if she was running away.
However, she stopped shortly after and proceeded to hover in the air.
A few moments later, her body suddenly exuded an unfathomable aura that swept the place like a tsunami.
"Thank you, Senior Bai." Yuan suddenly said.
"No problem." Senior Bai smiled.
If Senior Bai hadn't protected him with his own spiritual energy right before Xu Jiaqi released her pressure, he would've sustained heavy internal injuries.
Of course, Xu Jiaqi was also confident that Senior Bai would protect Yuan.
'Even with Senior Bai protecting me, my body feels incredibly heavy, almost as though I have a star on my back! So this is what it's like to be a cultivator at the peak of the Nine Heavens!' Yuan began sweating profusely, his body quickly becoming soaked.
Suddenly, a massive golden avatar materialized behind Xu Jiaqi, which had some differences compared to Yuan's avatar.
Xu Jiaqi's avatar was not only much larger, but it was also clearly a female avatar, almost like a goddess, and the weapon it was wielding also looked different.
"Damn…" Yuan subconsciously muttered out loud when he saw the majestic avatar behind Xu Jiaqi.
"That isn't even half of her full power." Senior Bai suddenly said, "If she unleashes any more of her power, this space will be destroyed, so she's holding back right now."
Yuan swallowed nervously after hearing such words.
Meanwhile, Xu Jiaqi had her head turned and tilted as her gaze was fixated on the avatar behind her.
'Father…'
Sometime later, Xu Jiaqi deactivated the technique and returned to the platform.
"So? What did you think? Is it the same God of War's Astral Arts the same one you know?" Yuan asked her with a smile.
"Yes, it's definitely the same technique. I owe you for this, Yuan."
"Lady Xu… I hate to interrupt you, but they're calling for us." Senior Bai suddenly said while pointing to the communication jade slip resting on his palm.
Xu Jiaqi sighed, "We have to go now, Yuan. Come back here in one month. I will have your soul cultivation technique ready by then."
"Take your time, Lady Xu." Yuan nodded with a smile on his face.
Senior Bai created a portal for Yuan to leave shortly after.
Once he was gone, Senior Bai and Xu Jiaqi also left that world before making their way to the meeting.
