"Do you all want to know?"
With a faint smile, Li Yun idly turned his wine cup in his hand, his gaze sweeping meaningfully over everyone present before he said, "It's not impossible for me to tell you. I can even explain it in detail."
"But all of you senior brothers and sisters must agree to one thing for me~"
At those words, Duobao, Guang Chengzi, and the others unconsciously frowned.
Though they did not know what Li Yun wanted them to agree to, the feeling of being manipulated still made them somewhat displeased.
But at this point, how could they simply give up? After exchanging glances, Duobao and Guang Chengzi asked, "What does Junior Brother want us to agree to?"
"Could it be that you want us not to attack you during the Exchange Meeting?"
Though he spoke in a joking tone, the Direct Disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects present grew tense as well.
After all, if they agreed to such a thing, it would bring them no benefit at all, and perhaps even...
"No, no, no~"
Li Yun waved his hand and hurriedly denied it. "That's not it."
"The Exchange Meeting is meant to be a contest and exchange between cultivators of our generation. How could I make all of you senior brothers and sisters hold back because of this?"
"What I mean is that this junior brother is weak. When the time comes, I hope all of you senior brothers and sisters can agree to give me a one-on-one opportunity. Otherwise, if I encounter a group attack, this junior brother won't be able to withstand it~"
At those words, a sharp glint flashed through Xuandu's eyes.
He roughly knew Li Yun's strength. It was absolutely no weaker than those Direct Disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects before him.
But as Li Yun had said, the Human Teachings only had Li Yun this time. If the Direct Disciples and Golden Immortal Realm disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects joined forces, Li Yun would indeed be in danger.
On the other hand, if it were one-on-one...
Xuandu believed Li Yun would achieve an excellent ranking and might even become one of the three victors.
"So that's what it is!"
"That's no problem!"
Duobao, Guang Chengzi, and the others agreed without hesitation.
They knew Li Yun was no simple figure.
But they were also utterly confident in their own strength.
Defeating him in battle and proving themselves before their masters had long been their earliest conviction.
If they swarmed him together, then even if they defeated Li Yun, it would be dishonorable, and they would not truly be able to prove themselves before their masters.
One-on-one was different.
If they defeated Li Yun in a fair duel, the benefits would be greater, and they could prove themselves and make their masters view them in a new light.
Even if Li Yun had not said anything, they already shared this unspoken understanding. Now that Li Yun had taken the initiative to bring it up, they saw it not as bad news, but as good news.
Thinking of this, Duobao immediately said, "I will agree to this on behalf of the Jie Teachings Disciples."
"When it begins later, I will inform the other Golden Immortal Realm disciples. We absolutely will not gang up on him."
Guang Chengzi beside him also spoke. "I will agree to this on behalf of the Chan Teachings Direct Disciples. Cultivators of our generation should naturally fight one-on-one. How could we use our numbers to bully others?"
At those words, Gui Ling, Wudang, Jin Ling, Jade Cauldron, and the other Direct Disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects all nodded.
They were not afraid of one-on-one fights. Even if they lost, they could accept it.
But if they joined others to gang up on someone, then even victory would be dishonorable. They had no face to do such a thing.
"Good!"
"Then many thanks to all of you senior brothers and sisters."
Li Yun laughed heartily as well.
One-on-one.
That meant his opportunity had arrived.
As long as he defeated the Golden Immortal Realm disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects one by one, each of them would contribute a Trait to him.
Though he did not yet know what grade the Traits they dropped would be, anyone who had reached the Golden Immortal Realm could not be weak, nor could they be ordinary.
Thinking of this, Li Yun immediately said, "Since all of you senior brothers and sisters have agreed, this junior brother naturally won't hide anything further. The Three Teachings Guardian Divine Art is called the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique."
"The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique originally came from the Pangu Inheritance of Master and the two Martial Uncles. After the three were combined, it became a cultivation technique for Attaining Dao through Strength. Though the risk of failure is great, those who succeed will be invincible within the same realm."
"The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, nine revolutions to sainthood. Though I do not know whether that is truly possible, without Hongmeng Purple Qi, I believe it is still worth a try. Moreover, this technique cultivates both the primordial spirit and the physical body. Once mastered, its combat power is beyond question~"
Gasp—
Listening to Li Yun's explanation, Duobao and the others could not help drawing sharp breaths.
They had known before that the Three Teachings Guardian Divine Art was extraordinary, but they had never imagined it could be so terrifying.
It was a method of Attaining Dao through Strength inherited from Great God Pangu.
It cultivated both the primordial spirit and the physical body, and after mastery, one could even become invincible within the same realm.
Such a powerful and domineering cultivation technique truly deserved to be called the Three Teachings Guardian Divine Art. No wonder the Three Pure Ones allowed Li Yun, who was merely at the Grand Unity True Immortal Realm, to participate in battles among Golden Immortal Realm cultivators.
No wonder their masters praised and acknowledged Li Yun so highly, even secretly giving them a hundred years of special training to raise their cultivation and strength out of fear that they would lose.
"Junior Brother Li Yun, does only Eldest Martial Uncle possess this cultivation technique?"
After a brief silence, Cihang asked curiously.
At those words, everyone else also looked at Li Yun with curiosity, their eyes filled with anticipation and conflict.
After all, Li Yun had already explained the strength of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. Just as he said, without Hongmeng Purple Qi, even though Attaining Dao through Strength might fail, it was not as though there was no Thread of Life, was there?
"No~"
Li Yun glanced at Cihang, the corners of his lips lifting. The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was information jointly obtained after Master and the two Martial Uncles combined their inheritances. Thus, besides Master, the two Martial Uncles also possess the inheritance of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.
However, cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique requires extremely harsh conditions. Its Entry Level difficulty is extraordinarily high, and failure in cultivation will bring tremendous backlash. All of you senior brothers and sisters must act within your limits!
Hearing this, Duobao and the others frowned, somewhat unconvinced.
"That is indeed true."
At this moment, Xuandu quietly spoke. "When we became disciples, Master offered us a choice between the Supreme Purity Sacred Art and the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. At the time, I also intended to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, but after hearing Master explain its Entry Level difficulty, cultivation difficulty, and difficulty of advancement, I ultimately chose to give up and cultivate the Supreme Purity Sacred Art instead!"
After Xuandu's words fell, Duobao and the others, who had previously been somewhat dismissive, all furrowed their brows.
Compared to Li Yun's smooth tongue, Xuandu was an honest man. At least, that was what they had all seen during their conversations over this period.
Precisely because of that, what he said about the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique made them feel a trace of gravity and hesitation.
After exchanging glances, Duobao asked, "May I ask, Senior Brother Xuandu, what drawbacks and hidden dangers does the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique possess?"
