Jinghu Meng Manor.

Meng Chuan was practicing the "Falling Leaf Saber" in the training ground. He moved like a gust of wind, and flashes of saber light flickered. After completing the saber technique, Meng Chuan walked to a stone bench, sat down, and gazed blankly, recalling his conversation with Dean Ge Yu yesterday.

"Dean, after comprehending the secret technique, my Falling Leaf Saber technique has reached perfection; there's no further progress possible. What should I practice next? How can I comprehend 'saber momentum'?"

"Meng Chuan, the further you go in saber technique cultivation, the more you must rely on your own understanding. There's not much more I can teach you," Ge Yu said, smiling as he drank wine. "I can only tell you how I comprehended 'momentum'. When I was on the Qinyang Pass battlefield, fighting demons repeatedly in life-or-death situations, I found some of the saber techniques I had learned to be cumbersome. So, I gradually changed them."

"I adopted whatever felt most comfortable for killing demons. After my military service ended, I requested to remain on the battlefield. I stayed there for twelve years. Finally, one day, the saber technique I had created reached perfection, and I also comprehended saber momentum," Ge Yu explained.

"A saber technique you created yourself, Dean?" Meng Chuan asked in surprise.

"Yes," Ge Yu said, smiling as he drank wine. "When you cultivate a top-tier saber technique to perfection, you can comprehend a secret technique and reach the Unity Realm. But if you create your own top-tier saber technique, you can comprehend your unique saber momentum."

"What saber technique did you create, Dean? May I see it?" Meng Chuan asked, curious.

"Haha, I'll show you."

At that time, the half-drunk Ge Yu was in high spirits and began to demonstrate his saber technique.

The technique was more sinister, more bizarre, and more ferocious.

Ge Yu, though small in stature, wielded a long saber like a great ape swinging a blade. Saber light enveloped his body, seeming to emanate from every part of him. The courtyard instantly became much colder, and countless leaves were severed and whirled away by the saber energy. Meng Chuan felt a chill observing this eerie and wicked technique.

This was merely a demonstration, not a full-power attack against an enemy. A real fight would likely be ten times more ferocious.

This was the fastest saber in Dongning Prefecture.

"This saber technique isn't suitable for teaching you," Ge Yu said, flicking his saber back into its sheath. He laughed, "This is the saber technique most suited to me. I'm small, but my arms are quite long. This set of techniques fits my physique. For those with normal body types like you, cultivating the Falling Leaf Saber is best. Moreover, the Falling Leaf Saber was created by the God-Demon of Yuanchu Mountain, making it ideal for building a foundation."

"Of course, since your Falling Leaf Saber is already perfect, Jinghu Dao Academy doesn't have much more to teach you. You'll need to rely more on yourself," Ge Yu said, smiling. "As for me, the Dean, I have no other ambitions than to train a God-Demon from Yuanchu Mountain in my lifetime. Haha, then I, Ge Yu, can boast about it forever!"

Meng Chuan reflected on the conversation and pondered.

"Chuan'er," Meng Dajiang said as he arrived at the training ground.

"Father," Meng Chuan stood up.

"Come, follow me to the ancestral residence to meet your great-aunt," Meng Dajiang said.

Meng Chuan's heart quickened. "Great-aunt? Father, are you referring to...?"

"Yes, the Immortal Aunt," Meng Dajiang whispered.

Meng Chuan's eyes lit up. This was the pride of the entire Meng family, the towering pillar of strength! The second God-Demon in the Meng family's history.

"Father, let's go!" Meng Chuan was very excited, eager to meet his great-aunt.

At the ancestral residence, in the courtyard where Immortal Aunt Meng lived.

"Come in with me," Meng Dajiang led Meng Chuan cautiously into the courtyard, not daring to make any loud noises.

In the courtyard, an elderly woman leaning on a cane was observing a peach tree, carefully examining the newly bloomed small flowers.

Meng Chuan observed her closely.

The old woman was very quiet as she watched the peach blossoms, as if she had merged with the heavens and earth. If one closed their eyes, they wouldn't even sense her presence. Meng Chuan understood that this old woman must be his great-aunt, Immortal Aunt Meng.

"You've arrived?" Immortal Aunt Meng turned her head, smiling at Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan.

"Quickly, greet your great-aunt," Meng Dajiang urged in a low voice.

Meng Chuan immediately stepped forward, knelt, and bowed his head, saying, "Greetings, Great-Aunt."

"Get up quickly," Immortal Aunt Meng sat down. "Both of you, sit as well."

Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan then sat beside her.

Meng Chuan was too curious about his great-aunt. He observed her carefully; judging by her face, she must have been very beautiful in her youth. He didn't know, however, that before Immortal Aunt Meng was injured, her appearance was equivalent to that of a mortal in her thirties or forties.

"Meng Chuan, come, sit closer to your great-aunt," Immortal Aunt Meng said gently.

Meng Chuan immediately sat on a nearby chair.

Immortal Aunt Meng held Meng Chuan's hand, looking at him, liking him more and more. This was the hope of the Meng family!

"Meng Chuan, you should reach the Perfection of Marrow Cleansing Realm in another two or three months, correct?" Immortal Aunt Meng asked.

"Yes," Meng Chuan nodded.

"Foundation Building, External Training, Marrow Cleansing... these are all just about building a foundation, cultivating the physical body to sufficient perfection," Immortal Aunt Meng explained. "The Mortal Transformation Realm, however, is when you begin to shed your mortal form, cultivate a God-Demon body, and gradually acquire the power of a God-Demon. This is a change in the very essence of life. It's like transforming from an ant into a tiger or a leopard. We gradually transform from mortals into God-Demons."

"The first step of this transformation is the Mortal Transformation Realm."

Immortal Aunt Meng continued, "This step is especially crucial. At this time, with sufficient rare treasures of heaven and earth, one can forge an incredibly profound God-Demon foundation."

"God-Demon foundation?" Meng Chuan was startled.

"Fetal development in the womb is very important," Immortal Aunt Meng said. "In some ancient God-Demon families, even while the fetus is still in the womb, the pregnant woman is given rare treasures of heaven and earth. This ensures that the child, upon birth, far surpasses their peers."

"The Mortal Transformation Realm is the 'fetal period' of a God-Demon," Immortal Aunt Meng explained. "It's the most critical time to alter one's aptitude. I have already used the family's accumulated treasures over many years to exchange for a drop of 'God-Demon Marrow Liquid'. As soon as you begin cultivating your God-Demon body, you must take it immediately. This will lay a profound foundation. The strength of your body and the purity and abundance of your true qi will far exceed your peers."

"God-Demon Marrow Liquid?" Meng Dajiang was shocked. "This... this... Aunt, to do this..."

The family's accumulated wealth over many years must have been almost entirely spent.

This matter had not even been discussed by the patriarch or the elders, as Meng Dajiang himself was unaware.

"I decided this, and it has already been done," Immortal Aunt Meng stated. "A God-Demon foundation is crucial. If you miss that earliest period of the Mortal Transformation Realm, even if you have a hundred or a thousand times more treasures in the future, you won't be able to change your foundation. Spending the family's accumulated wealth for this single drop of God-Demon Marrow Liquid is worth it!"

Meng Chuan suddenly felt immense pressure.

Why was his great-aunt so determined, almost exhausting the family's treasures for a single drop of God-Demon Marrow Liquid, to be used only on him?

The family had always upheld fair rules. He had only just comprehended a secret technique, and whether he could become a God-Demon in this life was still uncertain. Why cultivate him to such an extent?

"Meng Chuan," Immortal Aunt Meng smiled, looking at this junior family member. She could sense Meng Chuan's unease and chuckled, "I, your great-aunt, am severely injured and can only last another seven or eight years. So, I cannot wait too long; I must cultivate you with all my might."

Meng Chuan was stunned.

The towering pillar of the family could only live for another seven or eight years?

Immortal Aunt Meng continued, "Not only have I exchanged for a drop of God-Demon Marrow Liquid for you, but also, the merits I've accumulated over eighty years of fighting demons and from Yuanchu Mountain will be directly transferred to you, provided you comprehend saber momentum before you turn twenty."

"Aunt, these merits are your accumulation over many years!" Meng Dajiang couldn't help but interject.

"As long as the family can produce another God-Demon, it's worth it," Immortal Aunt Meng said, looking at Meng Chuan. "You are the family's only hope, and I believe you can bear all of this."

Meng Chuan had experienced such a catastrophe at the age of six, making his mental fortitude extraordinary. He quickly accepted everything, nodding, "Great-Aunt, I don't know if I can become a God-Demon. But I will do everything in my power!"

"Still very calm at a time like this," Immortal Aunt Meng smiled and nodded. "Very good, I haven't misjudged you."

Meng Dajiang, on the other hand, was a bit flustered.

"Dajiang."

Immortal Aunt Meng said, "Perhaps you don't agree with me telling him everything and putting all the pressure on Meng Chuan. But how can one become a God-Demon without a strong inner self? You must believe in your son, Meng Chuan; he is more outstanding than you think."
