Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique

"Gulp~"

"Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique!"

After hearing Laozi's words, Li Yun swallowed, his heart burning with excitement.

That so-called Supreme Purity Sacred Art was certainly excellent. After all, Laozi had created it after Attaining Dao and becoming a Saint, adapting it from his own cultivation method. Its power was beyond doubt, and it was absolutely one of the top cultivation techniques in the Primordial World.

But compared to the Supreme Purity Sacred Art—

He had heard even more about the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

It was Pangu's inherited method for Attaining Dao through Strength. Unfortunately, when the Three Pure Ones had been Grand Unity Golden Immortals, they had not discovered its existence, nor had they realized the value of the complete Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. As a result, the Three Pure Ones had never pieced together the technique. After witnessing Hongjun's prestige upon Attaining Dao and becoming a Saint, how could the Three Pure Ones have entertained any other thoughts? Naturally, they chose to take him as their master, accepted the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and cultivated the Severing the Three Corpses technique.

But just because the Three Pure Ones had not cultivated it did not mean the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was weak.

Nine revolutions to sainthood!

The sainthood it referred to was not that of a Heavenly Dao Saint, but that of a Hunyuan Sage.

However, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique had extremely harsh requirements. It required a powerful physical body and primordial spirit. Precisely because of this, even with such a heaven-defying method, it could only serve as a sect-protecting divine art in the future. Virtually no one could cultivate it to success.

Even Yang Jian of Chan Teachings, who possessed Human-Witch bloodline, cultivated only the Eight Nine Mysterious Technique, which Jieyin and Zhunti had created by imitating the original, rather than the genuine Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

Now that such an invincible cultivation technique, one that offered hope of attaining Dao, lay before him, how could he give it up? How could he let it slip away?

Almost instantly, Li Yun said, "Master, this disciple is willing to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique!"

The moment those words left his mouth, Xuandu, who had been preparing to choose the Supreme Purity Sacred Art beside him, was startled.

Logically speaking, the Supreme Purity Sacred Art had been created by Laozi after he Attained Dao and became a Saint. Its value and usefulness spoke for themselves. How could anyone possibly abandon it?

Yet Li Yun had done exactly that. Given his relationship with Li Yun over the years and his understanding of him, Xuandu knew clearly that Li Yun would never make a choice casually. He must have thought it through and had other considerations and plans.

With that thought, Xuandu no longer rushed to make his choice. Instead, he looked toward Laozi, bowed, and asked, "May I ask, Master, what is the difference between the Supreme Purity Sacred Art and the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique?"

"What differences will there be after cultivating them?"

Hearing this, Laozi gave Xuandu a deep look.

He had seen Xuandu's little movements earlier very clearly. It was obvious that Xuandu favored the Supreme Purity Sacred Art he had created.

Yet merely because of Li Yun's choice, Xuandu had hesitated and even asked about the differences between the two techniques. This disappointed him somewhat.

Although it was clear that this came from Xuandu's trust in Li Yun, it also showed that Xuandu had not firmly stood by his side.

However, Laozi did not reveal any displeasure. Instead, he explained calmly, "The Supreme Purity Sacred Art was created by me based on the Supreme Purity inheritance. Cultivating this method will make you compatible with the Taiqing Lineage's inheritance, whether in Sorcery and Divine Abilities or other methods."

"The Supreme Purity Sacred Art was created by your master after I Attained Dao. It is itself a top-tier cultivation technique. Looking across the Primordial World, few cultivation techniques can compare with it."

"However, once you reach the Quasi-Saint realm, you will encounter obstacles with the Supreme Purity Sacred Art. To advance further and surpass the Quasi-Saint realm, you will need great Fortuitous Encounters, great fortune, and great perseverance."

At those words, both Xuandu and Li Yun nodded.

However, Xuandu seemed deep in thought, while Li Yun paid no attention whatsoever to the information about the Supreme Purity Sacred Art.

After all, whether it was the Supreme Purity Sacred Art or the Sorcery and Divine Abilities inherited from the Taiqing Lineage, neither held any real meaning before the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

Taking in the reactions of his two disciples, Laozi did not waste any more words and continued, "As for the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, it originated from Pangu and possesses the ability to Attain Dao through Strength. Cultivated to the extreme, it offers the possibility of Attaining Dao through Strength and becoming a Saint. But its cultivation difficulty is dozens, even hundreds of times greater than that of other techniques."

"Attaining Dao through Strength was something even Pangu failed to accomplish in the past. Thus, although this technique appears to have greater potential than the Supreme Purity Sacred Art, it is far more difficult, and in the end, there is basically little chance of success."

Upon hearing this, Xuandu gave up completely.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was indeed powerful, but if what Laozi said was true, then its value was greatly reduced.

Since Attaining Dao through Strength was impossible, what was the point of spending dozens or hundreds of times more effort and facing dozens or hundreds of times more hardship on the path of cultivation?

Thinking this, Xuandu immediately bowed. "Master, this disciple chooses the Supreme Purity Sacred Art!"

"Mm~"

Laozi nodded in satisfaction. Without further nonsense, he waved his hand, and two Jade Talismans fell separately into Li Yun and Xuandu's hands.

No matter what, Laozi was still quite pleased that Xuandu, his Direct Disciple, had persisted in inheriting his Dao lineage.

As for Li Yun—

The latter was not a Direct Disciple after all, so Laozi could not truly teach him everything he knew. Thus, while choosing the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was difficult, it was undeniably more suitable for him. After all, he possessed Human-Witch bloodline.

With that thought, Laozi said no more and waved his hand. "Alright, the cultivation techniques have been passed on to you. You may leave now!"

"Xuandu, as a Direct Disciple, you may reside in the Side Hall of the Palace of Supreme Purity."

"Li Yun, as an Inner Disciple, you may not reside in the Palace of Supreme Purity. However, you may freely choose a cave abode anywhere within the eastern region of Kunlun Mountain. As for the other areas, the west is West Kunlun Mountain, where the Queen Mother of the West resides, so you must not disturb her. The southern and northern regions are where Chan Teachings and the Interception Sect reside. As a Human Teachings Disciple, you must not go there recklessly."

"Come see your master again after you have completed Entry Level cultivation of your techniques!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Yes, Master!"

After responding, Li Yun and Xuandu did not dare delay.

Immediately afterward, the two fellow disciples stopped disturbing Laozi. After bowing to him, they turned and headed outside.

After they left, Laozi said nothing more. He turned and entered the Alchemy Room, then sat before the Eight Trigrams Furnace and began refining pills.

"Junior Brother Li Yun, once you have found a residence, be sure to let me know."

Outside the Palace of Supreme Purity, Xuandu looked at Li Yun excitedly and said, "Once I successfully cultivate the Supreme Purity Sacred Art, I'll come find you to discuss the Dao."

"Besides, Human Teachings has only the two of us as disciples. We must advance hand in hand from now on."

Hearing this, Li Yun came back to his senses. Looking at the high-spirited Xuandu, he thought to himself, As expected, becoming a Direct Disciple has changed his mindset quite a bit.

Thinking of the cautious, somewhat rigid Xuandu from their journey, then looking at the spirited figure before him, Li Yun did not refuse. "I understand, Senior Brother!"

"Once I find a Daoist site, I will definitely inform you, Senior Brother."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Li Yun turned and left the Palace of Supreme Purity's grounds, while Xuandu eagerly headed toward the Side Hall.
