ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Chapter 16: My genius frightens even me



"It's delicious!" Yuechan exclaimed, eating a slice of pizza. "You said this cheese is made from what? Spiritual jade milk?" she asked.

"That's right, I 'borrowed' a few liters from a large sect and made cheese from it," Wuji nodded. The Spirit Jade Milk is produced by spiritual white jade; one piece of this jade produces a droplet of milk every three days.

The great powers used it on their young descendants to enhance their constitution and talent.

Yun Wuji found a large quantity in the treasury of the Unity Sword Sect.

They were truly 'united'—and they died 'united' with each other as well.

Hehehe~

Not just the cheese-all the ingredients in this pizza are special. Even the dough was made from unique grains.

Otherwise, his skills alone wouldn't be enough to make Little Fairy so addicted to his food. This type of food will naturally have some effect on the practitioners' cultivation. However, Yun Wuji and Chu Yuechan's cultivation is very high, so the effect is negligible.

"This Spiritual Jade Milk should be rare, right? What are we going to do if we run out of cheese for our pizza?" she asked, taking another slice.

"We can always take some from the large sects," Yun Wuji replied casually, eating his pizza as well.

"Isn't this considered stealing?" she asked.

"No, it's called a protection fee," he corrected her with a righteous tone.

"Protection fee? Protecting them from whom?"

"We are protecting them from us, of course," he said shamelessly.

"..." She wanted to call out his shamelessness, but then she thought about how without the Spiritual Jade Milk, she wouldn't be able to eat such delicious pizza. So, she silently ate another slice.

At night, Yun Wiji sat cross-legged meditating, his focus his attention on his soul. Deep inside his soul was a blazing phoenix.

The Phoenix Soul shimmered with ethereal hues of red and gold, resembling a miniature phoenix with wings poised as if ready to soar, emanating a fiery yet warm radiance.

It was the Phoenix Soul that the Phoenix Spirit had given him. This gift not only granted him the Phoenix Soul but also the incomplete Phoenix Nirvana.

After observing the Phoenix Soul for a while, he shifted his attention to his profound veins. Last time, he had failed to link his fifth entrance. This time, after receiving the Phoenix inheritance, he wanted to make another attempt and see if he could succeed.

The glowing silver light at the base of his veins branched out toward his first entrance. Upon reaching it, the light illuminated the entrance before branching out again from the base and moving toward the second entrance.

When the light reached the second entrance, Yun Wuji didn't feel as much pressure as he had in previous attempts; it flowed much smoother this time.

Third entrance.

Fourth entrance.

When the fourth entrance was lit up, he frowned as he felt the pressure intensifying. Finally, fifth entrance!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As he reached this step, his profound veins trembled wildly. However, Yun Wuji didn't stop; the light branched out and moved towards the sixth entrance.

The trembling became more severe, and he felt like his veins might explode, but he pressed on regardless.

Bang.

As he touched the seventh entrance, his veins couldn't hold on, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His veins were severely injured.

However, despite this failure, he didn't feel disheartened. He remained pleased with the progress, seeing it as proof that completing this technique in the future was indeed possible!

In the past, he had been stuck at the fifth entrance, but now he had managed to reach all the way to the seventh.

Yun Wuji wiped the blood from his mouth and glanced at Chu Yuechan, who was meditating in front of him. A white light shone upon him, and his injuries began to recover.

A few minutes later, his injuries were completely healed, and a change occurred in his profound veins.

Bang!

Fifth level of the Sky Profound Realm achieved!

It had been more than three weeks since he left the Crescent Wilderness with Yuechan. With the help of his Ethereal Qi Sanctuary-the name of the white barrier that protected him and helped him cultivate passively-he automatically broke through.

At his current rate of cultivation, he would reach rank 10 in four or five months without using any additional external means.

The hard part for him is to break through the additional three small realms.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough," he heard Chu Yuechan say with a smile as he opened his eyes. She continued, "Should we celebrate this occasion?"

"No need, maybe next time," Yun Wuji rolled his eyes. He knew she was looking for an excuse to feast; she had become quite the glutton. He found it hard to connect her to her former self.

"I've noticed you've been trying to improve your Frozen Cloud Arts these past few days," he remarked, recalling something.

"Yes, but I couldn't make any progress," she sighed, feeling disheartened. Ever since she learned about the side effects of the Frozen Cloud Arts, she had been striving to improve it and eliminate those effects. However, despite her efforts, she didn't make one a bit of

progress.

Previous generations of the Palace Mistresses of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace had all attempted to remove the side effects without success, it is only natural for her to fail as well. "Would you mind showing me your arts? Maybe I can help," he suggested. With his talent for comprehension, he could easily make several improvements to it.

The Frozen Cloud Art was something Mu Bingyun created within seven days, with little effort or thought put into it. It was expected that such an art would have obviouse flaws and was not worth mentioning compared to divine legacies like the Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon or

Miracle of Life.

"Really? You already helped me open all my profound entrances previously. How could I trouble you again?" She looked at him with bright eyes, genuinely grateful to Yun Wuji. He had not only saved her life but also helped her in many ways during their travels over the past

few weeks.

It's worth mentioning that he had already opened all her profound entrances. Her reaction at that time was priceless.

"Heh~ then how about replying by dedicating yourself to me?" He moved closer to her until they were only a few inches away. In a good mood, he decided to tease her. "What-what?" Feeling his breath close to her, she became flustered. Although she had

feelings for him, this was too sudden!

They should at least marry and have a celebration where she can enjoy all the delicious food!

"Alright, show me your technique, I'll help you," he said, seeing her flustered state. He took a step back to create some space between them. Who knows what expression he would be

making right now if he knew what she was thinking.

"Hmm~" She nodded, then told him the content of the technique. Sect cultivation techniques were closely guarded and only passed down to sect disciples, a common sense even Chu Yuechan, who had lost her memories, knew. This showed how much trust she had in Yun Wuji.

When she finished telling him the content, Wuji's expression turned dark. The Frozen Cloud Art was truly trash tier in his estimation, plagued by numerous side effects and offering little in terms of benefits. It wasn't worth anyone's effort to cultivate an art so inferior that it made reaching the Tyrant Profound Realm without external aid nearly impossible. The only redeeming quality seemed to be its beautifying effect.

In the novel, without the Overlord Palette, none in Frozen Cloud Asgard would have surpassed

the Emperor Profound Realm.

He closed his eyes and began thinking about how to modify and improve it. This might have been difficult for others, but for him, it was too easy.

First, he removed the unnecessary parts, and then he corrected some flaws.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes.

"What do you think? Is it possible?" Chu Yuechan asked eagerly, assuming he had been

examining the Frozen Cloud Art.

"Yes, I've already made some improvements. You can try it first," Yun Wuji nodded.

Although he still didn't feel satisfied with the result, it was already many times better than

the original version.

"What?! You improved the art in such a short time?!" Yuechan exclaimed loudly, shocked and

doubting her ears.

"You don't have to be so shocked," he said, standing up and patting her shoulder.

"Sometimes my genius frightens even me."
