Chapter 23- Thank You
After they were done with their bath, Su Mu decided to head back since he planned on giving the 'Siblings Divine Art' to Hu Jiao'er and Hu Mei'er. On their way back, Hu Jiao'er and Hu Mei'er were talking about their experiences in the Heaven's Cave Inheritance and what they learned about the trails.
Su Mu didn't know much about what was going on outside because ever since he entered the Heaven's Cave Inheritance, he never came into contact with any of the big groups. The same could be said for Lan Chu Die and Du Yi Shuang since they were trapped inside a cave ever since they entered before being rescued by Su Mu.
"Although everyone started at different locations, it didn't take long for all the disciples of the three Sects to find themselves at the centre of the Heaven's Cave Inheritance. Although many people obtained benefits, many of them died as well." Hu Mei'er said.
"The Disciples from the three Sects all united their strength under the top disciples to fight a few powerful Monster Beasts around. There are 9 Monster Beasts in total and each of them is a 6th Order Monster Beast. It's our fortune that these Monster Beasts have only just awakened from their slumber and are weakened." Hu Jiao'er explained.
If it wasn't for that fact, many more people would have died in the Heaven's Cave Inheritance.
"Before we left the group, we managed to kill 8 of the 9 Monster Beasts. The last one is the strongest. It's probably the peak of the 6th Order, that's why it can display strength equivalent to an Immortal Ascension Realm Cultivator even after just waking up. Temporarily, nobody has dared to engage it in combat" Hu Jiao'er smiled. "Just for the treasures that were protected by these Monster Beasts, many disciples have gone practically insane."
Hu Mei'er fiercely nodded in agreement, "Yes. I never knew of such people, who were able to steal things from others so easily…" She never thought that for some treasures, people could forget everything and kill each other without any sort of remorse.
"Mei'er, you have no idea how desperate people can get." Su Mu replied with a smile.
"Right, what was the gift that you were talking about, Su Mu?" Hu Jiao'er asked. Although she already lost the bet and wouldn't get anything, she was still curious about what Su Mu was talking about.
"It's an inheritance that I stumbled upon, but it's useless for me since it can only be cultivated by twins. Although the two of you aren't exactly twins, I'm sure it'll still work. I'll give the Secret Art to you when we reach the cave." Su Mu explained, shocking the two sisters. He planned on giving the Siblings Divine Art to them while they were still inside the Heaven's Cave Inheritance because of the density of World Energy here. What outside will take a few months to complete will be completed in a mere three days here.
"Why would you give something so important to us?" Hu Jiao'er muttered in disbelief. Even if this inheritance wasn't of use to Su Mu, he can still hand it over to the High Heaven Pavilion, which will be counted as a very big contribution. If nothing else, selling it would bring massive fortunes. Honestly speaking, even joining one of the Eight Great Families of the Central Capital was possible with the help of an Inheritance like that. But he was willing to give it to them for free?
"What's a mere inheritance when compared to my Mei'er and Jiao'er?" Su Mu replied with a smile, making the Hu sisters emotional as tears started building up in their eyes at the realisation of how much Su Mu cared about them.
Without a word, both of them hugged Su Mu from each side, their hearts filled with love and affection. Su Mu just smiled and didn't say anything, letting the sisters hug him as much as they wished.
When they reached the area that was not that far away from the cave, Su Mu felt the mark he left on Yang Kai nearby.
'He is below that cave, huh?' Su Mu thought. From what he knew, that inheritance belonged to an evil cultivator that most likely will try to take over any person who tries to take their inheritance. Although Su Mu could've easily disposed of the remaining soul of that cultivator, he wasn't interested in some random guy's inheritance.
After walking for some time, the three of them arrived at the cave that was being guarded by Lan Chu Die and Du Yi Shuang.
"We'll be staying here for at least three days. By that time, it'll most likely be too late to obtain any benefits. If you two want to, you can leave right now." Su Mu said, looking at Lan Chu Die and Du Yi Shuang.
"I will stay with you, Young Master Su." Du Yi Shuang replied without any delay.
"I will too." Lan Chu Die said. Not only was it safe to stay with Su Mu, but she might also end up losing her chance to get close to Su Mu if she leaves now. For Lan Chu Die, getting closer to Su Mu was more important than any sort of inheritance she might get.
"Very well." Su Mu replied while looking around. "The two of you didn't take any of the herbs here, why?"
"We decided to wait for Young Master Su's instructions." Lan Chu Die replied as Du Yi Shuang nodded.
"Is that so? Well, you guys can have all the herbs here. Divide them equally among you." Su Mu nonchalantly replied, walking towards the seal he previously saw at the end of this cave, leaving both of the girls in awe.
'Not only is he strong, but he is benevolent as well?' The respect Lan Chu Die and Du Yi Shuang held for Su Mu increased to new heights before they walked out of the cave to collect the herbs and guard the cave until Su Mu was done with his business without any orders from him.
Inside the cave, Su Mu placed his hand on the seal before completely blocking it. Now, no one would be able to open it unless they break it through sheer force.
'With that Saint King's inheritance, I doubt this weak evil cultivator can do much to Yang Kai. It'll most likely end up dying or willingly become his servant.' Su Mu thought before focusing his attention on Hu Jiao'er and Hu Mei'er.
"Sit in a meditative position next to each other." Su Mu said as the two sisters obeyed without any questions. Placing his hands on their backs, Su Mu continued. "Remember the flow of your True Qi and Yuan Qi and don't resist, even if it hurts. Not even a little. While you two are memorizing the flow of Qi, I will teach you the stuff you need to memorize as well. And remember, both of you will have some breakthroughs during these days, so don't get distracted by them. Especially you, Mei'er. This Secret Art will raise your cultivation at a very high speed until you reach Jiao'er's level."
"We trust you, Su Mu." Hu Mei'er and Hu Jiao'er said in unison while nodding. No matter what Su Mu was trying to do, the two of them trusted him wholeheartedly.
Soon, Su Mu pushed his Yuan Qi inside their bodies, slowly taking control of their own Qi with it. Hu Jiao'er and Hu Mei'er were completely focused on remembering how their Qi moved as it started moving in a synchronized motion.
'Their adaptability is not bad. With this, it won't even take three days to complete.' Su Mu thought, a smile appearing on his face. The two sisters were getting used to the sensation of his Yuan Qi flowing inside their bodies while remembering the flow of their own Qi as well.
Noticing that the World Energy around them was starting to pour into their bodies, Su Mu started explaining the Secret Art and how it worked for the next two days. During this time, Hu Jiao'er broke through the 5th Stage of the True Element Realm while Hu Mei'er, who was previously at the 5th Stage of the Initial Element Realm, reached the 4th Stage of the Qi Transformation Realm while also strengthening their foundation according to the Secret Art.
If Su Mu wished to, he could've increased their Cultivation even more. After all, the increase in cultivation was done by him while the Secret Art was improving their foundation, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. Using too much World Energy from the Heaven's Cave Inheritance might make this world unstable before the Dragon and Phoenix sources even appear.
'It should be about time for them to wake up.' Su Mu thought, looking at the Hu sisters. It's been a day since he was done explaining the Secret Art to the two of them. During this time, Yang Kai also left the underground cave through the passage where he came from after being unable to open the seal that was tampered with by Su Mu.
After about an hour, Hu Mei'er and Hu Jiao'er opened their eyes. Looking at each other, their eyes widened in surprise as they realized their cultivation before turning towards Su Mu.
"Thank you." Both of them said in unison while bowing their heads. Not only did he give them such a precious Secret Art, but their cultivation base also increased significantly. As long as Su Mu asked, both of them were ready to do absolutely anything for him.
"You guys are too serious about some mere cultivation Art. What's it compared to my Mei'er and Jiao'er?" Su Mu replied, repeating what he said before giving them the Secret Art, making the two sisters raise their heads with a light blush. He wasn't lying, the Secret Art could never compare to the worth of Hu Mei'er and Hu Jiao'er.
"Jiao'er, you will need to look after Mei'er until her cultivation reaches your level." Su Mu said, making Hu Jiao'er nod.
"I know, but how can you recognize us?" Hu Jiao'er asked. After they were done with the basics of Siblings Divine Art, she doubted that even their father could tell any difference between them.
"It's cause I've examined my Jiao'er quite precisely." Su Mu replied, moving his hands in the air like he did while they were bathing. Looking at it, Hu Jiao'er had a deep blush on her face as she tried to look away. Looking at her, Su Mu laughed.
"No matter how much you cultivate this Secret Art, I will always recognize the two of you. And you haven't even realised a tenth of what this Secret Art is capable of." Su Mu replied as Hu Jiao'er calmed down. "Right, your value within the Blood Battle Group will rise exponentially after we leave the Heaven's Cave Inheritance, so it's best to be prepared."
"Indeed. Father was already way too happy when I broke through the Second Stage of the True Element Realm. If he sees me now, he might pass out." Hu Jiao'er replied, laughing.
"But the sudden increase will definitely bring us more trouble." Hu Mei'er replied, visibly worried.
"Don't worry about it. Even if you give the Secret Art to someone else, unless you show them the Qi movements as I did to you guys, they can't cultivate this Secret Art properly. And if they do, they'll receive all the benefits but will die of Qi Tribulation upon reaching the Peak of the Immortal Ascension Realm." Su Mu replied, shrugging his shoulders.
'How nonchalant.' Both Hu Jiao'er and Hu Mei'er thought, looking at Su Mu. contemporary romance
Looking at Hu Jiao'er for a few seconds, Su Mu smiled. "Don't worry, you still can't beat me."
"But I didn't even think anything about that." Hu Jiao'er retorted.
'He likes bullying elder sister so much.' Hu Mei'er thought, wondering when she'll be bullied by Su Mu.
Just as Hu Mei'er was about to say something, they heard a ferocious roar from afar, causing a small, insignificant quake as the cave shook.
"Who was idiotic enough to provoke that beast?" Hu Jiao'er said, sighing.
According to her, that Monster Beast was Peak 6th Order. That is something equivalent to a Peak Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator! Even if it had been sealed for thousands of years, it was a far cry from what the Sect disciples could handle.
When the three Sects' disciples united to eliminate the other 8 Monster Beasts, it cost them heavy numbers. Now, provoking such a powerhouse was going to be a much bigger massacre! Even if all the disciples present here join hands, it'll still be very difficult to defeat that Monster Beast and will require many sacrifices.
"Hm? Su Yan is also there. But she isn't stupid enough to provoke something beyond her strength." Su Mu muttered, making Hu Mei'er and Hu Jiao'er curious.
"Su Mu, is Su Yan also yours too? You know, that kind of relationship..." Hu Mei'er said, confused as a light blush appeared on her cheeks. Weren't they siblings? But then again, knowing Su Mu's personality, this situation somehow made sense. She would've had her suspicions if things weren't this way.
"You already know the answer, don't you?" Su Mu replied, getting up. "Let's go and take a look. And while you're at it, don't fight until you guys are used to your new cultivation bases."
Soon, the three of them left along with Lan Chu Die and Du Yi Shuang while heading towards the direction where the roar came from.
Lan Chu Die and Du Yi Shuang were surprised that they weren't able to keep up with Hu Mei'er, who was supposed to be in the Initial Element Realm. They couldn't understand what happened within the cave. How could someone change so much within just three days? But they were sure of one thing, Su Mu was the reason for this sudden increase in strength.
