This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 855 - 668: The Three Gates of the Sword Sect

After receiving Chen Hua's guidance, Liang Yi looked as though he had an epiphany, finally understanding where his problem lay.
"The change in this domain mainly focuses on accumulation. When one's foundation and accumulation are sufficient, one naturally gains insight, and seizing that insight can lead to new changes."
Chen Hua spoke these words to Su Youyi, clearly seeing that Su Youyi was so earnest in finding a path to higher levels.
"Accumulating foundation, huh?"
Su Youyi looked down, subconsciously stroking the sword hilt. She had thought achieving Great Perfection in her domain was the end, not realizing there was a path beyond the end.
Accumulating foundation is not particularly difficult nor easy, as the most common method for cultivators is exploring various Daoist Skills or Sword techniques, or comprehending the mysteries of the heavens and earth.
The purpose of this is to draw parallels, attempting to gain new insights from other cultivation philosophies, and comprehending heavenly mysteries simply replaces various Daoist Skills with the multitude of things in the world, considering most Daoist Skills are created by cultivators based on the laws of the universe.
Therefore, this approach requires a high level of understanding and perseverance.
"Master was once stuck in the Seventh Realm and had dealings with various forces of the Mystical Mechanism, taking wisdom from numerous schools while being well-versed himself. Whereas Senior Brother is completely gifted, mastering all the Daoist Skills and Sword techniques of the Taoist Sect..."
The more Su Youyi thought, the more helpless she felt. In others' eyes, she was considered a top-tier genius in the world; only a few within the Mystical Mechanism and the Abyss could surpass her.
Yet, the only two people who could genuinely keep her underfoot were her master and her senior brother, both seemingly there to shatter her confidence, weren't they?
"Sigh..."
Life isn't easy, Youyi sighed.
"But Master, why do you claim your Karma lines have countless subtleties yet lack any killing power?"
This question puzzled Su Youyi because, in a certain sense, her master's Karma lines were practically omnipotent.
As long as the Karma lines entwine both sides and a result is set with corresponding Karma force invested, the causality would ensure the matter happens.
To prevent things from happening, one must break free from the Karma lines before the activation of Karma Sword Intent. But once things occur, the causality reverses, and the results are fixed, absolutely unchangeable.
"Do you know why your senior brother created the Sword Gate?"
Chen Hua drank the exquisite wine from the pot and asked Su Youyi.
"To compensate for weaknesses."
Su Youyi furrowed her brows in thought, after hearing the entire context and recalling senior brother's previous battle, determining that this was presumably it.
"Correct, indeed, to compensate for weaknesses. This kid's Disruption domain is far more domineering than my Karma Sword Domain. Even if I enter, my Karma Sword Intent will be suppressed. But if we truly started fighting, this kid might not necessarily be my match."
Chen Hua tapped his fingers on the absorbed Liang Yi, who was completely immersed in comprehension and oblivious to his surroundings, and said with a smile.
"Why?"
Su Youyi was puzzled, not because she doubted her master's strength, for from the start of her cultivation, her master was synonymous with invincibility.
Mainly because from her perspective, senior brother's Disruption domain was quite unfriendly to both Sword Cultivators and Daoist Practitioners, completely restricting them.
"Because the Disruption domain seems inescapable, but this domain's non-weakness weakness is that Liang Yi still can't compare to me in Sword Dao. Even if he has cultivation, even if my Sword Intent and Law are restricted, as long as I can still wield a sword, no one can claim to thoroughly defeat me."
Chen Hua smiled with confidence shining in his bright eyes.
"Similarly, some cultivators with special constitutions or Innate Divine Objects, even if their cultivation is suppressed, their natural uniqueness grants them considerable combat power, which is what Liang Yi hopes to compensate for. In the current realm, previous Sword techniques and moves have little effect; he wishes to possess an ultimate winning move."
"Ah... so that's how it is..."
Su Youyi nodded obediently, beginning to understand.
Senior Brother's accumulated foundation had reached the requirement but paused due to the lack of a direction. Once he found direction, insights would naturally emerge.
"Liang Yi needs a move with exceedingly strong killing power as his trump card, while I am quite the opposite; I need to ensure my sword can hit the opponent." Chen Hua connected the Karma line to Su Youyi, swiftly swinging the sword and shouted, "Evade this strike of mine!"
Su Youyi responded quickly. As Master drew his sword, her Lovesick was already drawn. Initially planning to counter the attack, but following Master's instructions, Su Youyi could only use her movement technique, trying to dodge this sword strike.
"Karma·Cannot miss!"
Chen Hua smiled faintly, muttering in his heart.
Su Youyi moved continuously, her figure gracefully like a butterfly in flowers retreating, nearly escaping the cloud range.
According to her judgment, she should easily evade Master's sword strike right now.
"What are you looking at?"
A familiar voice sounded from behind, causing Su Youyi's pupils to constrict. She instinctively turned and swung her sword, yet struck nothing but air.
Su Youyi looked down to find Master's unsheathed Taoist Collection already resting against her waist.
