Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts, Yunxiao Draws Her Sword to Chop Dingguang Immortal at the Start

The two were greatly alarmed, shouting in terror.

Just then, a pale yellow ancient book flew over, emitting an earth-yellow halo and blocking the path of Qingfeng and Mingyue.

"Boom..."

The thirty-six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls struck the ancient book, creating large ripples, but they were still repelled.

Li Xiao retracted the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and looked up.

He saw the great immortal Zhenyuanzi and a benevolent-looking Taoist in a red robe descending from the sky, landing between them.

"Master, this fellow is too rude..."

Upon seeing Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi and Old Ancestor Hongyun arrive, Qingfeng and Mingyue were overjoyed and immediately shouted.

"Hmph, you scoundrel, how dare you argue with the celestial immortal?"

Zhenyuanzi quickly reprimanded him.

Qingfeng said urgently, "Master, he's just here to mooch off the fruit, why be so polite to him..."

"Scoundrel, stand down!"

Zhenyuanzi rebuked.

Seeing that Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi was truly angry, Qingfeng and Mingyue dared not disobey and retreated.

Li Xiao watched this, secretly praising Zhenyuanzi as a kindhearted person, willing to let his own people suffer rather than lose face for his guests.

Moreover, it was indeed Qingfeng and Mingyue who were in the wrong first, and Li Xiao had merely been a bit overbearing!

"Esteemed Immortals, my disciples were rude, please take your seats!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi took a deep breath and cupped his hands towards Li Xiao and Yunxiao.

In the presence of Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi and Old Ancestor Hongyun, Li Xiao and Yunxiao did not dare to be presumptuous and quickly cupped their hands towards them, saying, "Esteemed Immortals, please!"

The group took their seats.

Then, several more people arrived.

Immortal Elder Nanji of the Heavenly Origin Sect, Grand Master Xuandu of the Ren Sect, and Maitreya Buddha of the Western Sect had all come.

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi invited everyone to be seated one by one.

His original intention was to invite the Saints to discuss the Great Dao during the ripening of the Ginseng Fruit to improve his cultivation. He never expected that only juniors would come, which left Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi feeling quite helpless.

Nevertheless, Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi still warmly entertained everyone.

"This young friend is..."

During the feast, Maitreya Buddha looked at Li Xiao and asked.

Li Xiao looked at Maitreya Buddha's smiling, pot-bellied appearance and guessed his identity. He grinned and cupped his hands towards Maitreya Buddha, saying, "This humble Taoist is Li Xiao, the fifth direct disciple of Saint Tongtian of the Intercepting Sect!"

"Fifth direct disciple?"

Maitreya Buddha was taken aback. He looked at Li Xiao and said, "Since you are Saint Tongtian's fifth disciple, perhaps we could discuss the Great Dao?"

Discuss my ass!

This Maitreya Buddha is a smiling tiger, all smiles on the surface but viciously scheming behind the scenes!

He could see that Li Xiao only had the cultivation of a True Immortal, yet he wanted Li Xiao to discuss the Great Dao with them. This was clearly an attempt to embarrass Li Xiao and the Intercepting Sect!

Li Xiao knew exactly what Maitreya Buddha's intentions were.

Beside them, Grand Master Xuandu and Immortal Elder Nanji smiled without speaking, clearly waiting to watch Li Xiao make a fool of himself.

Yunxiao's delicate eyebrows furrowed, but then they relaxed. She thought to herself, These people dare to show off in front of Fifth Senior Brother, they truly have no eyes!

As expected, Li Xiao readily agreed, smiling at Maitreya Buddha and saying, "Since Fellow Daoist Maitreya Buddha is in such a good mood, I naturally cannot spoil everyone's enjoyment!"

Everyone was surprised that Li Xiao had agreed and looked at him in disbelief.

Chapter 27: Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts Emerge, Shocking All Saints

"If that's the case, then I shall begin!"

Immortal Elder Nanji suggested with a smile.

"Esteemed Immortal, please!"

Zhenyuanzi said politely.

Immediately, Immortal Elder Nanji began to expound the Dao.

This time, to demonstrate the superiority of the Heavenly Origin Sect, Immortal Elder Nanji lectured on the Heavenly Origin Sect's version of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts.

Great God Pangu's primordial spirit split into three, meaning the Three Pure Ones each inherited a part of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts. What Immortal Elder Nanji was lecturing on was the Heavenly Origin Sect's version of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts.

Although Immortal Elder Nanji was not a Saint, his lecture resonated with the Heavenly Dao. Colorful clouds gathered in the sky, immortal cranes danced, and auspicious beasts quietly prostrated themselves to listen.

Even Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi and Old Ancestor Hongyun could not help but raise their eyebrows as they listened.

Although they often discussed the Great Dao with Saints, this was their first time hearing the Heavenly Origin Sect's version of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts, and they marveled at the profoundness of the Saints.

After an unknown amount of time, Immortal Elder Nanji finally finished his lecture.

Grand Master Xuandu saw this and chuckled, "Since Junior Brother Nanji has started, this humble Taoist shall offer some humble insights as well!"

Following that, Grand Master Xuandu began his explanation.

What Grand Master Xuandu expounded upon was the Ren Sect's version of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts. Of course, similar to Immortal Elder Nanji, he skirted around the difficult parts, naturally not revealing anything truly crucial.

Even so, the assembled crowd was stunned into exclamations.

After an unknown amount of time, Grand Master Xuandu also finished his discourse.

Maitreya Buddha chuckled, "Then I shall continue!"

As he spoke, Maitreya Buddha began to explain the Great Dao of the West.

The Great Dao of the West differed from the mystical methods of the Xuanmen, but it was nonetheless filled with wonder. Eight hundred unorthodox paths surged forth, creating continuous auspicious phenomena and radiating golden light.

Maitreya Buddha himself was majestic, his halo of Buddha light behind his head illuminating the entire grand hall in gold.

The listeners repeatedly gasped in amazement, unable to help but secretly praise the Western Sect's methods. Though considered unorthodox, they possessed their own unique merits.

After an unknown period, Maitreya Buddha also concluded his teachings.

Maitreya Buddha turned and smiled at Li Xiao, saying, "Fellow Daoist Li Xiao, it is your turn!"

Grand Master Xuandu and Immortal Elder Nanji exchanged glances, seeing the amusement in each other's eyes.

Clearly, they were preparing to watch Li Xiao make a fool of himself.

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi frowned slightly, saying, "Perhaps... we should taste the fruits first!"

Clearly, Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi was trying to help Li Xiao out of a difficult situation.

Li Xiao was a prized disciple of the Tongtian Cult Master, and he had invited him. It would be difficult for Zhenyuanzi to let Li Xiao be embarrassed.

"Oh, Great Immortal, you jest. We have all spoken of our Dao, yet only Fellow Daoist Li Xiao has not. Does this mean... the Dao of the Intercepting Sect is not fit for public display?" Maitreya Buddha turned and smiled at Li Xiao, his words sharp.

"Hmph!"

Yunxiao let out a heavy, cold snort. Divine light erupted around her, and a halo of auspicious energy sprang forth behind her head, revealing the phenomena of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and the Five Energies Returning to the Origin.

Grand Master Xuandu, Maitreya Buddha, and Immortal Elder Nanji's pupils contracted sharply.

Yunxiao was merely an outer disciple of the Intercepting Sect, yet she had already broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. What level, then, had the direct disciples of the Intercepting Sect reached?

Of course, this excluded Li Xiao, as he was the fifth direct disciple accepted by the Tongtian Cult Master.

Li Xiao raised his hand to stop Yunxiao, then swept his gaze across the crowd, finally settling on Maitreya Buddha. He smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Maitreya Buddha wishes to hear this humble Taoist expound on the Dao, then this humble Taoist shall offer some humble insights!"

"Please, Fellow Daoist!"

Maitreya Buddha replied with his usual smile.

Li Xiao immediately began his discourse.

The Dao that Li Xiao expounded upon was also the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts.

However, the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts he presented was not an incomplete version, but the complete Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts.

As the Dao flowed from his lips, it became incredibly profound!

A vast and ancient aura washed over them. Behind Li Xiao, a colossal phantom slowly rose. This giant stood tall, reaching the heavens, its entire being radiating an explosive sense of power.

A ferocious pressure emanated, dominating heaven and earth!

"This... this is Pangu's phantom? This... what Li Xiao is explaining, is it the complete version of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts? This... how is this possible? This..."

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi was dumbfounded, barely able to believe his eyes.

Old Ancestor Hongyun, who was gnawing on a Ginseng Fruit, suddenly saw this phenomenon and froze. He stared blankly at Li Xiao, his face filled with shock.

Immediately after, the void rippled like water.

An old Taoist riding a green ox emerged from the void. This old Taoist was none other than Taishang Laojun.

Following him, Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Tongtian Cult Master, Empress Nuwa, and the Two Sages of the West all descended upon the Five Villages Manor.

"Rebellious disciple, what have you done?"

Tongtian Cult Master reprimanded Li Xiao upon seeing him reveal the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts.

Li Xiao looked up at Tongtian Cult Master and grinned, "Uh... uh, Teacher, your disciple was merely discussing the Dao with a few Senior Brothers..."

Tongtian Cult Master glared at Li Xiao with a dark expression and let out a heavy snort.

"Nephew Disciple Li Xiao, were you just explaining the complete version of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts?"

Taishang Laojun asked, his eyes fixed on Li Xiao.

Taishang Laojun voiced the unspoken question on everyone's mind. The gazes of all the Saints turned towards Li Xiao.

Li Xiao grinned, glanced at Tongtian Cult Master, and guiltily said, "Uh... uh... reporting to Senior Uncle Master, what your disciple expounded upon was indeed the complete version of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts, but it was taught by Teacher..."

Li Xiao directly shifted the blame to Tongtian Cult Master.
