Receiving a large amount of heavenly treasures and even a top-tier magic artifact all at once, Ye Yun was truly astonished.
However, in reality, these were not the most important things. The true highlight was what came next.
"Besides these heavenly treasures, some profound arts will also be taught to you."
Ye Yun's gaze quickly fell upon Lin Xueyan, and he handed her the imprinted profound arts.
"These were obtained by your master from the tomb of a sage. They are top-tier heavenly grade sword techniques, top-tier heavenly grade movement techniques, and top-tier heavenly grade explosive profound arts. They happen to be suitable for you."
Upon hearing the quality of the profound arts, everyone was stunned into silence.
"Master... aren't these profound arts too precious?"
These were top-tier profound arts that even eighty percent of cultivators in the Four Great Immortal Palaces could not practice. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the peak of the Profound Heaven Continent. Yet, their master was giving them all away without batting an eye.
Ye Yun chuckled and said, "Profound arts are meant for people to cultivate. Are they supposed to be kept there to gather dust?"
But in truth, the heavenly grade profound arts of the major Immortal Palaces would rather let them gather dust than easily pass them on for ordinary disciples to cultivate.
Lin Xueyan stared blankly at the jade slip in her hand, then finally nodded emphatically.
"I understand, Master. I will cultivate them diligently!"
Ye Yun smiled, and the system's voice echoed in his mind.
[You have bestowed upon your disciple the top-tier heavenly grade Flying Moon Sword Art, activating the ten-thousand-fold return, and obtained the immortal grade profound art Divine Moon Sword Art!]
[You have bestowed upon your disciple the top-tier heavenly grade Inch of Light Movement Technique, activating the nine-thousand-fold return, and obtained the immortal grade movement technique Divine Light in an Instant!]
[You have bestowed upon your disciple the top-tier heavenly grade Heavenly Demon Transformation, activating the ten-thousand-fold return, and obtained the immortal grade profound art Nine Revolutions Immortal God Transformation!]
Ye Yun had already been shocked by the numerous treasures he had acquired earlier, but seeing such a string of immortal grade profound arts made it difficult for him to remain calm.
"Good, good, excellent!"
Ye Yun couldn't help but grin. What were top-tier heavenly grade profound arts now? They no longer caught his eye.
With these three immortal grade profound arts, at least on the Profound Heaven Continent, he should no longer have any opponents when competing in profound arts. This was definitely a great thing for his current situation!
However, Ye Yun's smile, coupled with his wandering gaze, frightened his four disciples. They exchanged glances with each other.
"What's wrong with Master?"
"I don't know, he seems very happy."
"Could he be having a delusion?"
"Bah, bah, bah! How could Master have delusions? He must have thought of something happy!"
Bai Xiaoxiao said with great certainty, but she still couldn't help but ask.
"Master, what's wrong? Your smile looks so lewd!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Ye Yun flicked her forehead with his finger.
"Master, it hurts..."
Bai Xiaoxiao cupped her forehead with both hands and squatted down, looking utterly wronged.
Ye Yun shook his head helplessly and said, "Alright, stop fooling around. Your master indeed thought of something happy just now."
"Xiaoxiao, Lingyi, Lingxin, none of you are sword cultivators, so apart from the sword art, you don't need to cultivate it. The remaining two heavenly grade profound arts, you all must learn them well. Understood?"
"Yes! Understood!"
The three nodded in unison. Indeed, movement techniques were universally useful for cultivators, and so were explosive divine abilities like the Heavenly Demon Transformation.
Besides this, Ye Yun had already asked Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue to search the entire continent for profound arts suitable for the Demonic Annihilation Body. Once found, Lingyi would also have her exclusive profound art.
After distributing the profound arts and heavenly treasures, it was naturally time for the traditional event!
"Xueyan, all of you get ready. Your master will impart cultivation to you in turns shortly!"
"Now? Master, will imparting cultivation at this time affect you?"
Lin Xueyan looked worried. Imparting cultivation was a normal occurrence, but with no external enemies approaching and only her and Xiaoxiao usually involved.
Now there were four of them, and the threat of the Furlong Immortal Palace and the Xuanming Immortal Palace loomed. It wouldn't be good if their master's cultivation were to be damaged.
Ye Yun could only smile faintly and say, "No need to worry. Have you ever seen your master being affected by you all?"
"Moreover, only by you all becoming stronger quickly can your master be more at ease and not worry about your safety in the future. So, you can accept it with peace of mind!"
These words were like a piercing strike to the hearts of the young maidens. All four girls stared at Ye Yun, deeply moved in their hearts.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xueyan nodded heavily.
"Alright, then Master, please proceed. Your disciple is ready!"
Having imparted cultivation several times before, Ye Yun was now quite skilled at it and quickly prepared to begin transferring his power.
Surging profound energy surged into Lin Xueyan's body, and her Rank King third-tier cultivation began to skyrocket.
Rank King fourth-tier!
Rank King fifth-tier!
Rank King sixth-tier!
...
Rank King peak!
At this point, feeling that Lin Xueyan could no longer bear any more profound energy, the impartation stopped.
As Lin Xueyan's cultivation grew stronger, Ye Yun also felt a noticeable weakening of his body when imparting cultivation, a feeling of being drained. His cultivation even dropped by one tier, falling back to the fifth tier of the Life and Death Realm.
However, in a flash, a fierce and powerful profound energy erupted within him!
[You have bestowed upon your disciple one hundred and twenty days of cultivation, congratulations on activating the hundred-fold return, and obtaining twelve thousand days of cultivation!]
At that moment, Ye Yun forcibly suppressed the eruption of his aura to avoid harming Lin Xueyan and the others, while the profound energy realm within his body surged uncontrollably!
Life and Death Realm sixth-tier!
Life and Death Realm seventh-tier!
Life and Death Realm eighth-tier!
Life and Death Realm ninth-tier!
Life and Death Realm peak!
Finally, golden light flared in Ye Yun's eyes, and he felt the profound energy realm within his body abruptly change, entering the level of half-step Dao Foundation!
This change made Ye Yun involuntarily take a deep breath, his heart filled with immense shock.
"What a forty years of cultivation, truly vast!"
Lin Xueyan glanced at the stunned Ye Yun and asked with a hint of confusion.
"Master, what's wrong?"
She wondered if it was her imagination. Just now, she seemed to feel her master's aura suddenly drop and then surge explosively.
Now, looking at her master's shocked expression, she felt as if she were looking at an immortal!
Hearing her, Ye Yun snapped back to reality and smiled, saying, "It's nothing, just that your improvement is very good. Strive to reach the Emperor level as soon as possible!"
"Yes, yes! Your disciple will definitely work hard!"
"Alright, then let's move on to the next one. Xiaoxiao, it's your turn."
Bai Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward and sat down, and soon the impartation began.
After the impartation ended, Bai Xiaoxiao's cultivation also reached the peak of Rank King, only a hair's breadth away from the peak of Rank Emperor.
Although Ye Yun gained several more years of cultivation, the feeling of fullness within him grew stronger. He clearly felt he had made great progress towards the Dao Foundation Realm, but to say he was close to breaking through, it seemed a bit lacking.
Lingyi was skipped as she had received impartation half a month ago. As for Lingxin, her cultivation was too low, so Ye Yun couldn't transfer much power, and the returned cultivation was relatively little.
After completing the impartation, Ye Yun couldn't help but calm his mind.
"It seems that if I want to break through, I need to find an opportunity to go into seclusion and make the attempt..."
Although with his current strength, he was already capable of dealing with some weaker Dao Foundation Realm cultivators, this was clearly not enough against the Furlong Immortal Palace and the Xuanming Immortal Palace!
After all, although he possessed supreme sword intent and even the Way of Slaughter, the peak experts within the two great Immortal Palaces were formidable. Under these circumstances, it would be much more difficult to fight beyond his level, unless he could refine those three immortal grade profound arts to completion in the meantime.
But then again, with the abundance of heavenly treasures he possessed, breaking through to the Dao Foundation Realm was not difficult; it only required some time.
Once he reached the Dao Foundation Realm, he would truly step into the ranks of the continent's peak.
"Forget it, after I resolve Lingxin's matter, I'll go into seclusion!"
Ye Yun was not one to dither, and he quickly made his decision!
