"Sure enough, the Three Pure Ones had been deceived!"
"Pangu failed to Attain Dao through Strength?"
"That might fool idiots, but who would have thought that the Three Pure Ones—no, the cultivators of the entire Primordial World—would actually believe it?"
As he walked through the mountains and forests, Li Yun recalled Laozi's disdainful remarks about Attaining Dao through Strength in the Palace of Supreme Purity and could not help shaking his head.
"Did Pangu attain the Hunyuan Sage Realm? No, he attained the Great Dao Realm!"
"Though Hunyuan Sages are powerful, above them are Wuji Sages and Hunyuan Wuji Sages. Only by surpassing a Hunyuan Wuji Sage could one possibly attain the Great Dao."
"Though the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is not the complete Pangu's Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, even this weakened version is enough to Attain Dao through Strength and become a Hunyuan Sage. There might even be a chance to go further."
"The Three Pure Ones possessed Pangu Inheritance and an unparalleled treasury, yet who could have imagined that they would ultimately be fooled by Hongjun, the reincarnation of a remnant soul of a Chaos Demon God?"
Still, none of that had much to do with him.
He was merely an Inner Disciple now and had not even truly stepped onto the path of cultivation. If he rashly claimed that the Three Pure Ones had been deceived, Laozi would not only refuse to believe him but might even drive him out. That would truly be a loss far outweighing the gain.
With that thought, Li Yun continued onward, his gaze searching the surroundings.
Before long, Li Yun's eyes settled on a Secluded Valley. It was not large, but its spiritual energy was abundant. There was a bamboo forest within, along with a stream, flowers, and grass everywhere. At first sight, Li Yun felt the urge to settle down there.
"This is the place."
Without hesitation, Li Yun made his decision.
He then entered the Secluded Valley, went to the bamboo forest, and casually cut down some bamboo. Afterward, he built a Two-Story Bamboo Tower beside the stream, along with a bed, tables, chairs, and other furniture.
By the time he had finished everything, the sky had already darkened.
Under such circumstances, Li Yun simply caught a few fish and roasted them before returning to the bamboo house. Sitting cross-legged, he took out the Jade Talisman Laozi had given him and said eagerly, "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, here I come~"
With that, Li Yun directly injected the weak Magical Power within his body into it.
The next instant, the Jade Talisman shone brilliantly, its azure light illuminating the bamboo house.
Accompanied by a shattering sound, the Jade Talisman exploded. Countless Divine Script characters appeared in midair. Before Li Yun could react, those countless characters seemed to have found their master and flew toward him without end, covering his entire body before burrowing into him at a visible speed.
At that very moment, the cultivation method of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique emerged in Li Yun's mind.
Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique: First Revolution Celestial Immortal Realm, Second Revolution Mysterious Immortal Realm, Third Revolution True Immortal Realm, Fourth Revolution Grand Unity True Immortal Realm, Fifth Revolution Golden Immortal Realm, Sixth Revolution Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, Seventh Revolution Grand Luo Golden Immortal Realm, Eighth Revolution Quasi-Saint Realm, Ninth Revolution Hunyuan Sage Realm...
As the mnemonic verses and circulation paths of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique surfaced, Li Yun felt himself enter an indescribably profound state.
In that state, he swiftly completed the cultivation of the First Revolution of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. Even after reaching Entry Level, it continued operating at a tremendous speed. His cultivation soared in a single leap from the early Human Immortal Realm, crossing the Earth Immortal Realm and reaching the early Celestial Immortal Realm.
Time passed unnoticed in the mountains. After an unknown period, Li Yun slowly awakened.
The instant he opened his eyes, Li Yun sensed the surging Magical Power within him and the transformation of his life essence. Not only had his Nascent Soul Cultivation improved, but even his physical strength had increased.
Thinking of this, Li Yun did not waste another moment and hurriedly summoned his Personal Panel to inspect it.
[Li Yun] [Race: Human-Witch Hybrid] [Nascent Soul Cultivation: Mid Celestial Immortal] [Physical Body Cultivation: Late Celestial Immortal] [Technique: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique (First Revolution Mid Stage)]
If you enjoy this book, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you will not lose it next time.
[Traits: Child of Destiny (Gold), Great Witch Bloodline (Red), Top-Tier Comprehension (Red)]
"Good, good, good~"
"I did it! This Daoist has made it!"
After reading the information on his Personal Panel, Li Yun could not help laughing aloud.
Mid stage of the First Revolution of the Mysterious Technique!
Mid Celestial Immortal Nascent Soul Cultivation and late Celestial Immortal Physical Body Cultivation.
This was merely the result of a single closed-door cultivation session. If word got out, it would probably leave quite a few people dumbfounded.
But Li Yun quickly calmed down.
His ability to comprehend a technique and begin cultivating it immediately, even reaching such a level, was definitely not talent he should possess. The only possibility was the support and enhancement of the Top-Tier Comprehension Trait, along with the special luck bestowed by the Child of Destiny.
At that thought, Li Yun's heart burned with excitement.
Six Trait Slots.
He could still equip three more Traits.
The help these Traits had provided this time was so immense. What if he obtained more Traits? Even if he could not directly get red or gold ones, the Traits in the Trait Slots were not fixed. He could remove and replace them whenever he wished in the future.
With that in mind, Li Yun immediately asked, "System, other than defeating or killing opponents, are there any other ways to obtain Traits?"
[ Ding! There are no other acquisition methods. The host is advised not to add Traits recklessly. Every addition or replacement of a Trait will cause the host to enter a weakened state for a short period and require time to recover. The higher the Trait grade, the longer the period of weakness! ]
"Uh..."
Li Yun opened his mouth, then fell speechless.
He had thought replacing Traits had no side effects, only to discover that there were lingering consequences.
Since that was the case, he had to be extremely cautious with the remaining three Traits. Unless they were especially necessary, he absolutely could not recklessly add worthless Traits and waste time.
Having made up his mind, Li Yun rose from the ground, stretched lazily, and said, "Dismiss."
"Since there are no other methods and there are side effects, I'll deal with it later."
"My top priority is to visit Master at the Palace of Supreme Purity. After all, I have already reached Entry Level in the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and even attained the mid stage of the First Revolution."
"I wonder how Xuandu is doing and what this summons is about."
Having made up his mind, Li Yun walked out of the room and stepped over the railing. His entire body instantly appeared in midair beyond it, a white Auspicious Cloud condensing beneath his feet and supporting him in the air.
Clearly, after entering the Celestial Immortal Realm, Li Yun had naturally mastered the ability to fly. However, it was merely the most basic Cloud Riding. He was still far from being able to fly at extreme speeds or use it in battle.
Li Yun flew all the way there and soon arrived at the Palace of Supreme Purity.
However, just as Li Yun drifted down onto the plaza outside the Palace of Supreme Purity, an excited shout came from above. "Junior Brother Li Yun!"
"Junior Brother Li Yun, you finally came."
"Master has just summoned us. If you had not come, I was about to go look for you."
As he spoke, Xuandu had already arrived beside Li Yun.
Before Li Yun could react, Xuandu grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the Palace of Supreme Purity, saying, "Quick, quick, quick! Don't keep Master waiting. Let's get inside~"
"I'm telling you, something huge is about to happen."
"It seems to be related to the other two Martial Uncles and their disciples~"
