There are bright stars in the sky, and little bits of starlight fall into the courtyard, shining brightly.
It was late at night, Duan Weiyun had left, and only Duan Mutian was still sitting at the stone table in the small courtyard, looking at the aura bamboo slips, thinking endlessly.
Xu Yue possesses a variety of peerless skills, such as the Emperor's Skill, Three Thousand Swordsmanship, and the Deserted City's Skill.
But Duan Mutian didn't care about these. He was very confident that his top-notch magic, Mu Shen Jue, was no worse than any of the above three.
What really made him salivate was the secret method that could bring about huge changes in cultivation.
A hundred years ago, the beginning of Duan Mutian's betrayal was to ask Xu Yue for this world-shattering method.
But how did Xu Yue give it to him?
Changing the cultivation level according to age is an ability given by the system. It can be said to be Xu Yue's "passive skill", which even he himself cannot control.
Furthermore, this ability is the key to Xu Yue's rise, and the terrifying side effect is also a sharp blade that can kill him at any time.
Therefore, Xu Yue will not let anyone know this secret, including those closest to him.
So at the beginning, when facing Duan Mutian, who was sincere, curious, and buddingly ambitious, Xu Yue directly refused to disclose any information about the system, only saying that it was an innate ability, a mysterious and magical secret technique.
This was the beginning of the estrangement between the two.
"The secret technique... can greatly improve your cultivation and combat power. It does not require overdraft of life, nor the loss of vitality and longevity. It is an almost free secret technique... If I can get it, I will be invincible in the world!"
Duan Mutian tapped his fingers on the table, not hiding his greed at all.
"But what is the secret? What are the side effects?"
Duan Mutian frowned and looked at Xu Yue's battle records one by one, trying to get some clues from them so as to deduce the mystery of this secret technique.
Although Xu Yue is dead now, Duan Mutian still refuses to give up. He is confident that if he can truly understand the principle of this secret technique, he can trace it back to its source and find the secret technique!
He didn't believe Xu Yue's nonsense, that he was born with something and was given by God.
"Lu Ye, the great elder of Yunhai Sect, was killed with one punch."
Duan Mutian first found this battle, watched it repeatedly, and found that it was indeed a crushing battle with hard power, and there was nothing to say.
Later, he found the battle that took place in Lingjian Sect, between Xu Yue and the Seven Elders of Tianjue.
Although the picture is blurry, it can be seen that it is still a one-sided massacre.
"They were both crushed and killed by Xu Yue with absolute power. What do they have in common?"
Duan Mutian muttered to himself, and began to research from aspects such as the realm, the techniques he practiced, the nature of his spiritual power, etc., but he couldn't find much in common.
"Or maybe they said something at that time, followed the rules, and received some curse?"
Duan Mutian's thoughts were flying and his mind was racing.
Finally, he shook his head and began to analyze from aspects such as gender, name, age, etc. that were almost irrelevant to cultivation.
"Looking at it this way, the most obvious thing in common is that they are all a bit older..." Duan Mutian nodded slightly and made a mental note.
Then, he looked at the other three battles, against Duan Xun, Yang Sen, and Murong Ji.
These three games all ended in a draw or a deadlock.
Duan Mutian looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see anything interesting, especially Duan Xun's scene. There was too little information, and Duan Mutian couldn't infer Xu Yue's state at that time, so it had no reference value.
"Looking at it this way, Duan Xun and Murong Ji are both sect masters. Is it related to their status? But Yang Sen is not right either..."
Duan Mutian was helpless, but he thought that a hundred years ago, Xu Yue had beaten many ancestors of other sects, even the giants of the Immortal Realm were no exception.
Finally, he retracted his thoughts and looked at the two most contrasting fields.
Fight against Si Xuan, Duan Weiyun, and Lan Ruyan!
These three people are all at the peak of the Spiritual Void Realm and have the same realm.
But the outcome of the battle was completely different. Xu Yue defeated Si Xuan and fought against Duan Weiyun.
But when facing Lan Ruyan, he died immediately!
"Gender! No, there are also women in Tianjue Qilao... age!"
Duan Mutian's eyes sparkled!
Moreover, according to intelligence, when Xu Yue fought with Si Xuan and Duan Weiyun, his strength also changed greatly.
"The older you get, the stronger you become!?"
Duan Mutian felt as if he had caught something.
But the next moment, when he looked at the other three people, he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.
Song Li, Wen Xu, Han Xiao.
Their complete information has been sent over and displayed together, including their ages.
Song Li, 160 years old.
Wen Xu, 198 years old.
Han Xiao, 198 years old.
It was very conspicuous and unfortunate that Wen Xu and Han Xiao were the same age, but when Xu Yue faced them, the outcome of the battle was completely different.
"No, it's not age."
Duan Mutian shook his head and overturned the conclusion he had drawn.
At the same time, he also thought of Xu Yue's cultivation level when he attacked Xu Yue a hundred years ago.
Although the peak of the Spiritual Realm is very low, it is by no means vulnerable.
At that time, Duan Mu was only 26 years old.
Thinking of this, he turned his hand and a piece of brocade silk appeared in his hand.
Above is the supplementary information he asked Duan Weiyun to send, recording information about a person.
Si Xian, the candidate emperor son of Yi Di Mountain, is in the early stage of cultivating the Divine Transformation Realm and is 27 years old.
This person has been confirmed to have died in the hands of Xu Yue. Looking at it this way, it seems unlikely in terms of age.
In fact, as early as a hundred years ago, Duan Mutian had conducted an in-depth study of Xu Yue's various changes, and had also doubted this issue.
After all, Xu Yue was too obvious back then. Young enemies were almost always dealt with by Duan Mutian, Mu Chuxuan and others, but when he encountered an old monster that couldn't be chewed, he took action himself and beat the opponent with his head covered.
But Duan Mutian clearly remembered that Xu Yue had also fought against several strong men about the same age as himself.
That was a record of him rarely taking action against the younger generation. At that time, Xu Yue's cultivation level was also terrifyingly high, and he directly broke through the Guixu Realm.
"Yes, it's definitely not a matter of age. Is there any secret method to increase age?"
In the end, Duan Muyun smiled bitterly and shook his head, secretly thinking that he was stupid and completely denying this inference.
What he didn't know was that Xu Yue used props a hundred years ago, and the battle against Han Xiao was also due to the props!
Moreover, Xu Yue has always kept his age extremely secret, leaving Duan Muyun with no one to refer to, so it was difficult to guess.
The night was getting darker, but Duan Mutian worked tirelessly to study Xu Yue over and over again.
"Is it a matter of stance? The people Xu Yue killed were all related to our Mutian Divine Sect... But that's not right. How should we explain those people a hundred years ago?"
Duan Muyun shook his head and dismissed this possibility.
Suddenly, a figure came quickly from the distance. With panic and urgency, he started roaring from a distance.
"Report!! Daozi, something bad has happened! A man wearing a bamboo hat and a bell on his side appeared in the front mountain!"
boom!
Before Duan Mutian could react, the door of the hut in the distance was suddenly opened, and a blue light escaped like a flying fairy.
"Yan'er wait!"
Immediately afterwards, Lan Qing's voice also sounded, and she quickly chased after him.
Duan Mutian watched this scene, clenched his fists, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
"How can it be!!"
