Tsk! This dumb girl is getting smarter!

"..." Jasmine stopped talking when she was interrupted, then snorted in displeasure, "Hmph! I am your master, you need to earnestly listen to me when I am talking!"

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

"Hmph! I'll forgive 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 blank expressions, utterly speechless.

"Anyway, I'll first teach you the Star God's Broken Shadow. Learning this skill depends entirely on one's comprehension talent. If someone isn't talented enough, they won't be able to master it even in a lifetime," Jasmine said, ignoring 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 then extended 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 fluttering gently as a breeze passed by. His mind was fully immersed in comprehending the profound intricacies of the Star God's Broken Shadow.

While watching Yun Wuji, the Evil Infant rubbed her tiny hands together and turned to Jasmine with 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 glance at the Evil Infant. She had been tricked far too many times by this devious spirit, and her guard was up. "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 can 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 understood him better. Jasmine, aware of this, snorted and was about to refuse, but the Evil Infant's voice interrupted 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 completely master the entire skill in less than ten minutes."

"Hmph! Ten minutes?! You must be joking! Who do you think he is? The Ancestral God?!" Jasmine, who was on the verge of rejecting 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 comprehend 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!" Noticing 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, snorting dismissively and refocusing her gaze on Yun Wuji.

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

Then, he turned around, and his body flashed repeatedly, leaving behind eight lifelike afterimages. These afterimages were so realistic that they emitted the same aura as him, making it incredibly difficult for anyone to distinguish them from the real thing.

"Hmm, not bad," Yun Wuji muttered as his body flashed once more, returning to his original 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?!" Jasmine stood frozen, her entire body shaking with shock. After a moment, she rushed over to Yun Wuji, grabbed him by the collar, and demanded in disbelief.

Even now, Jasmine still 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 countless techniques in an unbelievably short time, this was different. She had never cultivated these skills herself, and though she knew they were extremely difficult to master, she had never experienced the 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 considered herself the best at in the Star 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, watching a one-year-old toddler create an entire operating system. The sheer absurdity of it left her speechless as if the laws of logic had been completely 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 planted a quick kiss on his cheek. She then turned to 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 and let out a dramatic cry, collapsing 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 actions.

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

"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 crying out in frustration.

"How unreasonable... fucking 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 considered 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, noticing she was lost in thought, nudging her lightly.

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

"Yes, master, I'll try to remember that next time," 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 and gently poked Yun Wuji on the head.

In an instant, the profound formula 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 face instantly turned red with fury.

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

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

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

His profound entrances opened, and even the hair follicles across his entire body expanded. They proudly faced the elements of the world, unabashedly absorbing the profound energy and the essence of the world from the atmosphere.

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

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

Despite being a genius who could look down on even the divine arts of true gods, 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, combined with the power of Heaven and Earth gathered by the Great Way of the Buddha, allowed him to recover even faster than before.

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

"This requires a celebration. Let's go! One strawberry 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 wanted to scold him for patting her head, but upon hearing him, she jumped for joy. Quickly realizing her mistake, she coughed and then spoke haughtily.

"Fucking 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 fucking tsundere is going to kill me!" the Evil Infant cried out, running in panic.
