"..." Jasmiopped talking when she was interrupted, then snorted in displeasure, "Hmph! I am your master, you o early listen to me when I am talking!"

  "Alright, alright, master, it's my fault. How about I make a strawberry cake for you ter?" Yun Wuji casually nodded and said, not really g.

  "Hmph! I'll five you if you add a Roseberry smoothie as well," Jasmine's face beamed, but she quickly hid her happiness with a snort and added.

  "Cake?!! I want it too!!" At that moment, the Evil Infant suddenly appeared from the Sky Poison Pearl and shouted.

  "..." Yun Wuji and Jasmine looked at her with bnk expressions, utterly speechless.

  "Anyway, I'll first teach you the Star God's Broken Shadow. Learning this skill depeirely on one's prehension talent. If someone isn't talented enough, they won't be able to master it even in a lifetime," Jasmine said, ign her nemesis, the Evil Infant, as she turned her gaze to Yun Wuji. "However, with your ridiculous talent, I wouldn't be surprised if you mastered it in a single day."

  She theended her finger and lightly tapped it against his forehead, imparting the profound art directly into his mind.

  Yun Wuji closed his eyes and stood still, his clothes flutterily as a breeze passed by. His mind was fully immersed in prehending the profound intricacies of the Star God's Broken Shadow.

  While watg Yun Wuji, the Evil Infant rubbed her tiny hands together and turo Jasmih a sly grin. "Want to bet on how long it'll take Master to master this skill?" she asked, her tone dripping with mischief.

  "Bet?" Jasmine shot a wary g the Evil Infant. She had been tricked far too many times by this devious spirit, and her guard . "What kind of bet?" she asked cautiously, her eyes narrowing.

  "If I win, I'll take your share of the cake that Master is going to make. If I lose, you have my share," the Evil Infant proposed with a business-like smile, her expression a perfect imitation of Yun Wuji's usual demeanor.

  The Evil Infant had spent far more time with Yun Wuji than Jasmine, so she naturally uood him better. Jasmine, aware of this, snorted and was about to refuse, but the Evil Infant's voiterrupted her.

  "Hey, don't be so quick to turn me down! At least hear my bet first!" she said, her tone smug. "I bet that Master will pletely master the entire skill ihan ten minutes."

  "Hmph! Ten minutes?! You must be joking! Who do you think he is? The Aral God?!" Jasmine, who was on the verge of rejeg the offer, scoffed at the Evil Infant and sneered. With a cold smile, she added, "Since you're so desperate to lose, I'll graciously accept and take your share then!"

  "I'll bet that he will prehend it in half a day!"

  'Hehehe, she's still so easy to scam~' The Evil Infant thought to herself, smirking at Jasmine's haughty expression.

  "Hmph!" Notig the way the Evil Infant was looking at her as if she were a big fat sheep, Jasmine couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She wasn't sure where the sense of unease came from, but she quickly shrugged it off, sn dismissively and refog her gaze on Yun Wuji.

  A few mier, Yun Wuji opened his eyes. In an instant, his body surged forward, leaving behind a long trail of afterimages that flickered in the air.

  Theurned around, and his body fshed repeatedly, leaving behi lifelike afterimages. These afterimages were so realistic that they emitted the same aura as him, making it incredibly difficult for ao distinguish them from the real thing.

  "Hmm, not bad," Yun Wuji muttered as his body fshed once more, returning to his inal position. As he did, the afterimages vanished simultaneously.

  "You! You actually mastered the Eighth Stage in such a short time! How... how could this be?! Even I—I'm only at the Sixth Stage!! How did you do it?!" Jasmiood frozen, her entire body shaking with shock. After a moment, she rushed over to Yun Wuji, grabbed him by the colr, and demanded in disbelief.

  Even now, Jasmiill couldn't believe what had just happened before her eyes! While she knew Yun Wuji was an absolutely monstrous genius, and had witnessed him master tless teiques in an unbelievably short time, this was different. She had never cultivated these skills herself, and though she khey were extremely difficult to master, she had never experiehe challenge firsthand. The shock she felt now was unlike anything she'd felt before.

  The Star God's Broken Shadow was a different matter entirely. It was her proudest skill, the one she sidered herself the best at iar God Realm. She knew better than anyone just how difficult it was to master, which made Yun Wuji's achievement even more unbelievable. To see him master it so quickly left her stunned, questioning how it was even possible.

  Right now, she felt like a seasoned software engineer with 30 years of experience, watg a one-year-old toddler create aire operating system. The sheer absurdity of it left her speechless as if the ws of logic had been pletely shattered before her eyes.

  "I guess I'm built different," Yun Wuji casually shrugged his shoulders, then flexed his biceps like a certain guy he once saw on YouTube.

  "I knew master could do it! Master is the best!" At that moment, the Evil Infant flew to Yun Wuji and pnted a quick kiss on his cheek. She then turo Jasmine, a wicked grin spreading across her face, "Hehehe, your cake is mine!"

  *Not that type of cake, you perverts!*

  "Wait! No! My cake!!!" Jasmine suddenly remembered the bet a out a dramatic cry, colpsing to the ground on all fours. A small tear fell from her eye, her face twisted in exaggerated sorrow.

  "What are you two talking about?" Yun Wuji asked, puzzled by their as.

  "It's like this, master..." The Evil Infant giggled, her voice dripping with mischief as she began to expin.

  "You... it's your fault! Why couldn't you wait a bit longer before showing off your skills?! Damn it! My cake!" Jasmine suddenly reacted, pointing at Yun Wuji and g out in frustration.

  "How unreasonable... fug tsundere," Yun Wuji was taken aback by her outburst, muttering under his breath.

  "You are the tsundere! Your whole family are tsundere!" His words immediately triggered her.

  "I don't have a family anyway, heh," Yun Wuji shrugged his shoulders, unbothered by her curse, as he remained indifferent.

  "..." Jasmine fell silent at his words.

  As she thought back, during all the time she had spent with him, she had never seen anyone who could even be remotely sidered a family member other than his wives.

  "Let's finish this quickly. Hurry up and teach me the Great Way of the Buddha," Yun Wuji said, notig she was lost in thought, nudging her lightly.

  "Hmph! I am your master, show some respect!" Jasmine finally snapped out of her daze, sn at him with a scowl on her face.

  "Yes, master, I'll try to remember that ime," Yun Wuji casually replied. Treating her like his master? Who was she kidding? A kid should be treated like a kid. If she was angry, he'd just give her some sweets to coax her.

  "Hmph!" Jasmine coldly pointed her finger aly poked Yun Wuji on the head.

  In an instant, the profound formu of the Great Way of the Buddha was imprinted in Yun Wuji's mind.

  Yun Wuji sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, severing all his senses.

  "No! I won't! Go away, you despicable brat!" Before the Evil Infant could offer a new bet, Jasmine chased her away. She had just fallen into the trap of this evil spirit, and there was no way she'd make the same mistake again!

  "Tsk! This dumb girl is getting smarter!" The Evil Infant clicked her tongue, muttering under her breath.

  "...!" Veins popped on Jasmine's forehead as her sharp ears caught the Evil Infant's mutter. Her fastantly turned red with fury.

  Meanwhile, as Yun Wuji was deeply immersed in prehending the "Great Way of the Buddha," an elderly man's voice suddenly echoed in his mind, as if ing from the very depths of his sciousness.

  *I'm going to skip this part; it's just some bullshit prehension stuff with him deg, "I am my own way of heaven!" If you're curious and haven't read the novel, check out chapter 140.*

  Around an hour ter, Yun Wuji's body suddenly fshed with a faint silver light. At the same time, a miniature silver pagoda appeared above his head, slowly desding before entering his body.

  His profourances opened, and even the hair follicles across his entire body expahey proudly faced the elements of the world, unabashedly abs the profound energy and the essence of the world from the atmosphere.

  Jasmine silently watched this se, her shock evident. After a moment, she softly muttered, "He's really a freaking mohat year, Big Brother took thirty-three days to prehend it, but he... he only used less than one hour!"

  "This... this teique is indeed quite powerful and mystical. It's unlike any other profound art I've seen before," Yun Wuji opened his eyes and examihe ges in his body.

  Despite being a genius who could look down ohe divis ods, he couldn't help but admit that this art was worthy of admiration.

  With the Great Way of the Buddha, Yun Wuji's physique and recovery abilities became many times stronger. His light profound energy, bined with the power of Heaven ah gathered by the Great Way of the Buddha, allowed him to recover even faster than before.

  When bined with Dragon God Morph, his physique became unreasonably strong!

  "This requires a celebratio's go! Orawberry cake isn't enough, I'll make more cakes!" Yun Wuji stood up, stretched his waist, and then walked over to pat Jasmine's head.

  "Yay! Cough, I mean, this princess will lower herself and celebrate with you," Jasmine wao scold him for patting her head, but upon hearing him, she jumped for joy. Quickly realizing her mistake, she coughed and then spoke haughtily.

  "Fug tsundere..." This time, it was the Evil Infant who muttered under her breath.

  "Fuck you!" Jasmine finally exploded, cursing before chasing after the Evil Infant.

  "Master, help! This fug tsundere is going to kill me!" the Evil Infant cried out, running in panic.
