Yunxiao looked at Tongtian Cult Master and said, "Disciple also heard Senior Brother Li Xiao's thoughts. Senior Brother Li Xiao... he actually knows the legendary Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts..."

"What? Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts? Is... is this true?"

Tongtian Cult Master exclaimed in shock, his face paling.

The Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts were the cultivation method of Great God Pangu and the core of the Heaven-Opening profound mysteries.

The Three Pure Ones were manifestations of Great God Pangu's primordial spirit, each obtaining a portion of the Heaven-Opening profound mysteries, which meant each obtained a part of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts.

Before the Three Pure Ones separated, they often discussed the Dao together!

However, due to the mixture of their individual understandings and the deliberate concealment of secrets stemming from their own selfish thoughts, even the Three Pure Ones could not deduce the complete Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts. In the end, they had to settle for the next best thing and deduce the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao actually knew the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts. No wonder Li Xiao was sound asleep when Tongtian Cult Master was lecturing on the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts!

So, he already knew the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts, why bother listening to his Eight-Nine Arcane Arts?

"This matter is absolutely true. Disciple heard it clearly and there is no mistake!"

Yunxiao stated with certainty.

"You little brat, you've been hiding this deeply..."

Tongtian Cult Master was so angry he puffed out his beard and glared.

After a moment's hesitation, Tongtian Cult Master looked at Yunxiao and said, "Yunxiao, do not spread the word about your Senior Brother Li Xiao knowing the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts for now. Hmm, do not even mention it to Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao, or Bixiao!"

"Yes, Teacher. Disciple understands!"

Yunxiao, knowing the gravity of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts, quickly cupped his hands to Tongtian Cult Master.

Tongtian Cult Master nodded and looked at Yunxiao, saying, "Also, do not make a fuss about Dingguang Immortal. This Daoist has his own plans. Today's events, this Daoist will use the excuse of you suffering qi deviation while cultivating to smooth things over for you! This matter, this Daoist will handle!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Yunxiao replied obediently.

"Good, that's all, Yunxiao. You may go now!"

Tongtian Cult Master said indifferently.

"Yes, Teacher. Disciple takes his leave. Teacher, take care!"

Yunxiao cupped his hands to Tongtian Cult Master, then turned and walked out of Biyou Palace.

Chapter 8: Is Tongtian Cult Master a Peeping Tom?

Yunxiao left Biyou Palace, glanced at Chang'er Dingguang Immortal, then turned and left Golden Ao Island, riding the clouds towards Three Immortal Island.

"Big Sister, wait for us!"

Qiongxiao and Bixiao hurried to catch up with Yunxiao.

This left Duobao Daoist, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal, and the others stunned and bewildered.

Just then, the great doors of Biyou Palace opened, emitting swirling purple energy. Tongtian Cult Master's voice emanated from within.

"Dingguang Immortal, Yunxiao suffered qi deviation while cultivating, which is why she injured you. This is a Seven-Revolutions Golden Elixir. Take it and return to recuperate properly!"

A golden elixir floated out, emitting a captivating glow.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's eyes lit up. He quickly took the elixir and cupped his hands towards the inside of Biyou Palace, "Many thanks, Teacher!"

"Qi deviation?"

Duobao Daoist, however, frowned deeply, his heart filled with suspicion.

Still, he dared not question Tongtian Cult Master and could only cup his hands and retreat.

Following this, the great doors of Biyou Palace closed.

Tongtian Cult Master sat on a cloud bed, divine light radiating from behind his head, profound light flickering around his body, and a sharp glint in his eyes. He muttered, "I didn't expect that rebellious disciple to know the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts. Let's see what he's doing?"

As he spoke, Tongtian Cult Master scanned the Fifth Peak with his divine sense.

Then, a strange thing happened. When Tongtian Cult Master's divine sense swept towards the Fifth Peak, it was blocked by a mysterious force, making it impossible to probe what Li Xiao was doing within the Fifth Peak.

It turned out that Li Xiao was cultivating the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts. To be safe, he had used the Chaos Bead to shield heavenly secrets and everything else!

One must know that the Chaos Bead was one of the Four Great Chaos Supreme Treasures, its greatest function being to shield everything, even the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao, let alone a Saint.

"Hmm? Strange, strange, what is blocking this Daoist's divine sense?"

Tongtian Cult Master withdrew his divine sense, a look of shock on his face.

One must know that Tongtian Cult Master was a Saint!

Even in the entire Primordial World, apart from some special locations like the dojos of other Saints, there was nowhere he could not see. Yet, he could not see Li Xiao's Fifth Peak.

And the Fifth Peak was on his Golden Ao Island!

The only explanation was that Li Xiao had a method to shield Tongtian Cult Master's divine sense.

As for what method it was, Tongtian Cult Master had no idea. After all, all Chaos-level treasures were feared by the Great Dao. They were either destroyed during the Heaven-Opening Tribulation or hidden by the Great Dao. Tongtian Cult Master would not even consider the Chaos Bead.

"Tsk tsk, this brat is hiding quite deeply..."

Tongtian Cult Master was not angry but pleased. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and his interest was even more piqued.

Currently, the Tongtian Cult Master rose and took a step, arriving outside the Fifth Peak.

Then, the Tongtian Cult Master stealthily infiltrated the fifth cave.

After that, the Tongtian Cult Master witnessed a scene that was hard for him to believe.

He saw Li Xiao sitting cross-legged on a futon, quietly cultivating. Strange runes flickered on Li Xiao's body, and behind him, the phantom of a muscular giant appeared.

The giant towered between heaven and earth, exuding a terrifying pressure!

If it wasn't Great God Pangu, then who could it be?

"This is... the Pangu True Body? It's really the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts. That brat Li Xiao actually knows the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts..."

The Tongtian Cult Master was utterly shocked, looking at the scene before him with disbelief. His heart churned like a stormy sea, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Who dares to trespass into this humble one's cave abode?"

Just then, Li Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and a divine light shot out, directly towards the Tongtian Cult Master's location.

"It is your master!"

Since he had been discovered, the Tongtian Cult Master walked out openly and said calmly.

"Uh? Master, you... how could you peek at your disciple..."

Li Xiao thought with disgust about the Tongtian Cult Master, this pervert. Did the Tongtian Cult Master like to peek at others when he had nothing to do, even peeking at female disciples, or perhaps stunning beauties like Empress Nuwa.

"What do you mean 'peek'?"

The Tongtian Cult Master's old face darkened. He glared at Li Xiao and said irritably, "Hmph, if I hadn't peeked, how would I know that you brat actually knows the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts, you..."

The Tongtian Cult Master had no intention of telling Li Xiao that Yunxiao could overhear Li Xiao's voice.

Li Xiao looked at the Tongtian Cult Master speechlessly, grinning, "See, you admitted it yourself. It was peeking..."

The Tongtian Cult Master's face was covered in black lines. With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked up to Li Xiao, examining him from head to toe, and clicked his tongue in amazement, "Brat, you're hiding quite a lot. Tell me, what other secrets do you have?"

"Secrets? What secrets?"

Li Xiao was dumbfounded.

"Hmph!"

The Tongtian Cult Master snorted coldly, thinking that if he didn't say it, he would let Yunxiao eavesdrop on his thoughts.

Facing the Tongtian Cult Master's fiery gaze, Li Xiao was as obedient as a child who had made a mistake, lowering his head and looking like he was sincerely admitting his fault. He looked so pitiable that one couldn't bear to punish him.

The Tongtian Cult Master rolled his eyes and pouted, "Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful in front of your master. Hmm, give me a copy of the cultivation technique for the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts that you were just practicing..."

As he spoke, the Tongtian Cult Master tossed a jade slip to Li Xiao.

"Um... um, Master, you are the master, how can you so righteously ask your disciple for things? Don't you feel ashamed?"

Li Xiao cautiously looked at the Tongtian Cult Master and said.

Li Xiao would do things like getting freebies himself, but he wouldn't let others do it!

The Tongtian Cult Master looked at Li Xiao irritably and said, "Alright, speak. I want the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts, what are your conditions?"

"Master, are the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls with you?"

Li Xiao immediately changed his tune, looking at the Tongtian Cult Master with a smile.

The Tongtian Cult Master flipped his hand, revealing the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, and threw them to Li Xiao, saying irritably, "Take the treasure, and you must diligently write down the entire Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Of course, Master, you can rest assured!"

Li Xiao grinned.

On this matter, Li Xiao wouldn't play any tricks!

After all, he was also a disciple of the Intercepting Sect. If the Tongtian Cult Master's strength increased, it would be beneficial to him!

Moreover, the Tongtian Cult Master treated him well. Even though he had been so lazy all these years, the Tongtian Cult Master hadn't expelled him from the Intercepting Sect and had even protected him in certain aspects.

From the bottom of his heart, Li Xiao agreed with the Tongtian Cult Master and the Intercepting Sect. In fact, Li Xiao had long regarded the Intercepting Sect as his home.

The Tongtian Cult Master nodded and urged, "When it's done, bring it to me at Biyou Palace!"

With that, the Tongtian Cult Master turned and left the fifth cave.

Li Xiao, on the other hand, played with the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls with great fondness, grinning from ear to ear, "Haha, treasure, good treasure, it's mine..."

"Hmph!"

Just then, the Tongtian Cult Master's cold snort echoed.

Li Xiao immediately put away the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and eagerly went to imprint the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts.

Chapter 9: What? We're all going to die?

East Sea, Three Immortal Island.

Ever since Yunxiao returned to the immortal island, she had been like a changed person, seeming somewhat melancholic.
