Why?
How could someone who was not even a Golden Immortal command such importance from their master?
He even thought they might not be a match for him and had specially given them extra instruction for this. Was this Li Yun really that outstanding? Was he really that powerful?
"Master~"
Instinctively, Gui Ling stood up from the crowd and bowed. "Is this Senior Brother Li Yun truly that powerful?"
"Uh~"
Seeing the unconvinced expressions on everyone's faces, Sect Master Tongtian knew that he seemed to have overdone it.
However, at this point, it would be rather inappropriate for him to take back his words.
After pondering briefly, Sect Master Tongtian immediately said, "It is fine for you to call him senior brother, and it is also fine to call him junior brother. Although he is a Human Teachings Disciple, he is not a Direct Disciple, but an Inner Disciple."
"As for Li Yun's actual strength, even I do not know the specifics, since he has never personally made a move."
"But one thing is certain. Li Yun cultivates the Three Teachings Guardian Divine Art, a system independent of the Supreme Purity Sacred Art, Jade Pure Sacred Art, and Upper Pure Sacred Art. This art was inherited from Pangu and was obtained from that inheritance only after we Three Pure Ones achieved the Dao. As such, his strength is exceptionally remarkable."
Upon hearing this, Duobao and the others all frowned.
An Inner Disciple.
The Three Teachings Guardian Divine Art.
In that case, Sect Master Tongtian's high regard was indeed not without reason.
But understanding was one thing; it was impossible for them to simply admit defeat.
Not to mention that he had not reached the Golden Immortal Realm, even if he truly had, they would not concede. Their pride would not allow them to fail.
Thinking of this, Duobao and the others spoke up one after another. "Rest assured, Master. We will definitely defeat Senior Brother Li Yun—Junior Brother Li Yun!"
"That's right, Master. Whether it is the direct disciples of Chan Teachings or this Junior Brother Li Yun, we will defeat them and prove that our Interception Sect is the most outstanding."
"..."
Watching his disciples brimming with fighting spirit, Sect Master Tongtian opened his mouth. Although things had not gone as intended, they were undoubtedly developing in a good direction. At the very least, the Interception Sect's Golden Immortals were fired up. If they maintained this spirit, they might not be without a chance of victory.
After all, it was a fact that Li Yun possessed Golden Immortal Realm combat power, but even he could not directly judge just how far that strength reached.
At this thought, Sect Master Tongtian stopped wasting words and waved his hand. "Since that is the case, I will not dampen your enthusiasm."
"Go back and stabilize your cultivation and strength. The Exchange Meeting is about to begin, and when the time comes, you must display all your power."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
After answering, Duobao and the other Interception Sect disciples did not hesitate any longer. They cupped their fists toward Sect Master Tongtian in salute, then left Biyou Palace in groups of two and three.
After they left, Sect Master Tongtian stroked his chin and murmured thoughtfully, "I have done all I can. What comes next will depend on their own abilities."
"But if even this is not enough to defeat Martial Nephew Li Yun, then I fear I must quickly select an heir and nurture him properly."
"Although Big Brother intends for Human Teachings' heir to be that direct disciple, Xuandu, Li Yun's rise and excellence are not something ordinary disciples can compare with."
"For the future of the Interception Sect, an heir must be chosen as soon as possible and cultivated with focus, so he can grow stronger, become the leading figure within the Interception Sect, and inspire the other disciples to grow stronger."
Li Yun knew nothing of all this.
At this moment, the aura around him had reached the peak of the True Immortal Realm. Moreover, due to the Golden Elixir's medicinal power, his Magical Power continued to rise, its momentum incomparably fierce.
As time passed, the Magical Power around Li Yun grew increasingly violent.
"Break for me~"
That day, Li Yun suddenly let out a low shout.
The next second, the sound of something shattering rang out from within his body.
Along with an immense pressure surging forth, the Magical Power around him became violent. In merely a few breaths, his cultivation had reached the level of the Grand Unity True Immortal Realm.
Thus, the fourth turn of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was complete.
As his realm broke through, the medicinal power within his body rapidly dissolved. Even more of it was drawn into his blood and vitality, flowing with it into the region of his heart.
Thump—
Thump—
For a time, Li Yun's heartbeat grew noticeably heavier, becoming as resounding as bells and drums with the passage of time.
"Buzz, buzz~"
Suddenly, brilliant light burst from Li Yun's chest.
The power of blood and vitality accumulated within his heart could be seen rushing into his chest at a visible speed.
"Ah~"
A heart-rending pain assaulted him, and Li Yun could not help crying out. A blood-red fissure suddenly split open in the center of his chest, yet strangely, not a drop of blood spilled from it.
Instead, endless blood and vitality, along with heaven and earth spiritual energy, were drawn into it. Li Yun could clearly sense that a special bone was being born there.
Although the bone was still only a rudimentary outline, it was clearly solidifying, perfecting itself, and even growing as the power of blood and vitality and heaven and earth spiritual energy continuously nourished it.
"What is going on?"
Lowering his head to look at his chest, Li Yun frowned, his eyes full of confusion.
This sudden change felt unbelievable and even bizarre to him, yet he could not tell what exactly was wrong.
At the very least, though the bone had not yet fully formed, Li Yun could sense that its innate aura was extraordinarily vast and pure. Not only did it bring him no harm, but its mere rudimentary birth had caused his physical body's blood and vitality, as well as his bodily strength, to soar dramatically!
Without bothering with anything else, Li Yun immediately summoned his Personal Panel to inspect it.
[Li Yun] [Race: Pangu Clan (Low)] [Nascent Soul Cultivation: Early Grand Unity True Immortal Realm] [Physical Body Cultivation: Late Grand Unity True Immortal Realm] [Technique: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique (Fourth Turn)] [Physical Body Innate Divine Ability: Pangu Divine Bone] [Traits: Child of Destiny (Rainbow), Great Witch Bloodline (Red), Top-Tier Comprehension (Red), Seventy-Two Transformations (Red), AFK (Purple), Pill Refining Genius (Purple), Artifact Refining Genius (Purple), Formation Genius (Purple)]
"Pangu Divine Bone?"
"A physical body innate divine ability?"
After reading the information on his Personal Panel, Li Yun immediately understood the change in his chest.
But precisely because of that, his brow furrowed even deeper, and the confusion in his eyes intensified.
Pangu Divine Bone.
A physical body innate divine ability.
The two sounded strange when combined.
Most importantly, after the Pangu Divine Bone was born, his physical body realm had actually surpassed his Nascent Soul Cultivation by two minor realms. This showed just how valuable and effective it was.
Unfortunately, it was still only in the nurturing stage and had not truly matured. He did not know the specifics of this so-called Pangu Divine Bone, nor did he know what this so-called physical body innate divine ability actually was.
