All of Yuan's main techniques saw a boost in strength and mastery.

However, what surprised him the most was the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, which had been limited this entire time.

'Does this mean I can pour all of my Qi into a single attack?'

Yuan turned to look at Xiao Hua and said, "It appears that the limiter for the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike has been released. What happens now?"

"That means Brother Yuan can adjust the strength of the technique as he pleases. It can be as weak as a Mortal-rank technique or as powerful as even the most powerful technique in the world. However, that will depend on how much spiritual energy you can give it."

"Is that so? How powerful do you think I can make the technique at my current level?" He then asked.

She pondered for a moment before speaking, "If Brother Yuan uses all of his spiritual energy, he should be able to erase half of this sect with ease."

"T-That powerful?" Yuan was shocked.

The Spirit Healing Academy is as vast as multiple large cities. If he can destroy half of it, he can easily destroy an entire city with a single Heaven Splitting Sword Strike.

"Hm? Wait a second. If the limiter is already released, that means it can't get any stronger, right? However, it seems like I can still make it stronger. What happens then?"

"The technique will become more efficient, meaning you will be able to gather more strength with less spiritual energy. The speed at which you charge it will also increase."

"I see… That makes sense." Yuan nodded.

"I also learned the Heaven Sealing Technique. This means I can seal someone's cultivation as long as they are Spirit King and below. Can this be reverted?"

Xiao Hua nodded, "Yes, it can be reverted. Do you want to try the technique on Xiao Hua?"

"Are you sure? It won't hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. It will only restrict Xiao Hua's cultivation base."

"Okay. I'll try it out."

"The Heaven Sealing Technique doesn't require you to touch the target. As long as they are within 10 meters of your location, you can seal their cultivation."

After taking a deep breath, Yuan activated the Heaven Sealing Technique on Xiao Hua.

Invisible golden chains that can only be seen by Yuan started appearing around Xiao Hua's petite body. However, right as the chains touched Xiao Hua's body, they all shattered without any resistance.

"What's wrong, Brother Yuan?" Xiao Hua asked him a moment later.

"Uhh… The technique failed."

"Huh?" Xiao Hua raised her eyebrows in a puzzled manner.

"Xiao Hua, are you, by any chance, suppressing your cultivation? At my current level, the technique only works on Spirit Kings and below, and you're clearly a Spirit King."

However, Xiao Hua shook her head and said, "Xiao Hua isn't suppressing her cultivation."

"That's weird… Hm? Wait a moment. When I first met you, you were only at the 3rd level. When did you reach the 9th level of Spirit King?"

"Now that Brother Yuan mentions it… Xiao Hua doesn't know either. It just felt so natural that Xiao Hua didn't even realize her cultivation had improved." Xiao Hua said.

Yuan pondered with a slight frown on his face, 'Xiao Hua wouldn't lie to me. Is her cultivation being suppressed without her knowledge? But who would do such a thing? She doesn't appear to be cursed, either. And why did her cultivation suddenly increase? What's going on?'

Xiao Hua looked at her own hands and also pondered about this phenomenon that was happening to her body.

However, no matter how much she thought about it, nothing came to her mind.

"Well, there's nothing we can do if you don't know anything. Maybe we'll find out more as we ascend the Nine Heavens." Yuan said sometime later.

"Okay." Xiao Hua nodded.

"Yuan!" A familiar voice suddenly resounded, causing Yuan to turn around.

In the distance, he could see Sect Master Xiahou flying towards him with an urgent look on her face.

"What's the matter?" He asked her a moment later.

"I just received information that the Universal Music Academy had learned of your presence here, and they are currently making their way here as we speak!" She said.

"Universal Music Academy? What do they have anything to do with me?" Yuan asked.

"Have you already forgotten that you killed their Sect Master not long ago? They are here to seek revenge!"

Yuan rubbed his eyes and sighed, "What a pain in the ass. I thought my last warning to them would be enough to make the stay away from me, but alas, they're as dumb as their deceased Sect Master."
