Cultivating Profound Arts, Mid Celestial Immortal

"As expected, the Three Pure Ones have been deceived!"

"Pangu failed to attain Dao through strength?"

"That line might fool a fool, but who would have thought the Three Pure Ones—no, all the cultivators of the Primordial World—actually believed it."

Walking through the mountains and forests, Li Yun recalled Laozi's dismissive words about attaining Dao through strength back in the Palace of Supreme Purity, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Was Pangu proving himself a Hunyuan Sage? No, that was the Great Dao Realm!"

"The Hunyuan Sage is formidable, but above it lies the Wuji Sage, the Hunyuan Wuji Sage. Only by surpassing the Hunyuan Wuji Sage can one have the possibility of proving the Great Dao."

"The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique may not be the complete Pangu's Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, but even as a weakened version, it's enough to attain Dao through strength and become a Hunyuan Sage, with even a chance to go further."

"The Three Pure Ones, possessing Pangu's inheritance and an unparalleled treasure trove—who would have thought they'd end up fooled by Hongjun, that reincarnated remnant soul of a Chaos Demon God?"

But none of this had much to do with him.

He was merely an Inner Disciple now, not even having truly set foot on the path of cultivation. If he rashly claimed the Three Pure Ones had been deceived, Laozi wouldn't believe him and might even expel him—that would be a real loss outweighing gain.

With that thought, Li Yun pressed on, his gaze sweeping the surroundings.

Before long, his eyes locked onto a Secluded Valley. It wasn't large, but it brimmed with abundant celestial energy, featuring a bamboo grove, a small stream, and flowers and grass scattered everywhere. The moment he saw it, Li Yun felt an urge to settle down.

"This place it is."

Without hesitation, Li Yun made up his mind.

He walked into the Secluded Valley, cut down some bamboo from the grove, and then set to work building a Two-Story Bamboo Tower by the stream, along with a bed, tables, chairs, and other furniture.

By the time he finished, the sky had darkened.

In this state, Li Yun casually caught a few fish, roasted them, and ate. Then he returned to the Bamboo House, sat cross-legged, and took out the Jade Talisman Laozi had given him. His eyes blazing, he said, "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, here I come~"

With that, he injected the meager mana in his body into it.

The next second, the Jade Talisman blazed, a brilliant green light illuminating the Bamboo House.

A shattering sound rang out as the Jade Talisman exploded, countless Divine Script characters appearing in the air. Before Li Yun could react, the countless characters, as if finding their master, streamed toward him, covering his entire body, then burrowed into him at a visible speed.

At that moment, the cultivation method of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique manifested 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 technique's oral formula and circulation path emerged, Li Yun felt himself sink into a mysterious state.

In this state, the cultivation of the first revolution of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique quickly completed, and even after entry, it operated at a rapid pace. Li Yun's cultivation soared, leaping directly from the early Human Immortal Realm, past the Earth Immortal Realm, to the early Celestial Immortal Realm stage.

Time passed unnoticed in the mountains. After who knew how long, Li Yun slowly awoke.

The moment he opened his eyes, he sensed the surging waves of mana within him and the leap in his life essence. Not only had his Nascent Soul Cultivation improved, but his physical body's strength had also been enhanced.

Thinking this, Li Yun ignored everything else and quickly called up his Personal Panel to check.

[Li Yun]

[Race: Human-Witch Hybrid]

[Nacent Soul Cultivation: Celestial Immortal Realm Mid Stage]

[Physical Body Cultivation: Celestial Immortal Realm Late Stage]

[Technique: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique (First Revolution Mid Stage)]

If you find this book enjoyable, to avoid losing it next time, remember to add it to your bookshelf.

[Traits: Child of Destiny (Gold), Great Witch Bloodline (Red), Top-Tier Comprehension (Red)]

"Good, good, good~"

"It worked, This Daoist Master has succeeded!"

After reading his Personal Panel, Li Yun couldn't help bursting into laughter.

First Revolution Mid Stage!

Celestial Immortal Realm Mid Stage Nascent Soul Cultivation and Celestial Immortal Realm Late Stage Physical Body Cultivation.

This was just from a single seclusion session. If word got out, it would surely drop quite a few jaws.

But soon, Li Yun calmed down.

Being able to comprehend the technique and cultivate it directly, reaching such a level, was definitely not his own innate talent. The only possibility was the boost and aid from the Top-Tier Comprehension trait, along with the special luck of the Child of Destiny.

At this thought, Li Yun's heart burned.

Six trait slots.

He could still equip three more traits.

The help from these traits had been immense. What if he obtained more traits? Even if he couldn't directly get red or gold, the traits on the slots weren't fixed—he could remove and replace them anytime.

With that in mind, Li Yun immediately asked, "System, besides defeating or killing opponents, are there other ways to obtain traits?"

[Ding! No other acquisition methods. It is recommended that the host not add traits casually. Each addition or replacement will plunge the host into a brief period of weakness, requiring time to recover. The higher the trait's grade, the longer the weakness lasts!]

"Uh~"

Opening his mouth, Li Yun was left speechless.

He thought swapping the entry would have no side effects, but he never expected there to be lingering consequences.

Since that was the case, the next three entries would have to be handled with extreme caution. Unless absolutely necessary, he absolutely could not recklessly add those worthless entries and waste time.

Having made up his mind, Li Yun stood up from the ground, stretched, and said, "Withdraw!"

"Since there's no other way, and there are aftereffects, I'll deal with it later."

"The priority now is to go to the Palace of Supreme Purity and see Master. After all, I've already entered the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, even reaching the mid-stage of the First Revolution."

"I wonder how Xuandu is doing, and what matters will come up during this audience."

With his decision made, Li Yun stepped out of the room. He strode directly to the railing and took a single step beyond it, his entire body instantly appearing in midair outside the railing. Beneath his feet, a white auspicious cloud coalesced, lifting him and holding him aloft.

Clearly, now that Li Yun had stepped into the Celestial Immortal Realm, he had naturally mastered the ability to fly. However, it was merely the most basic Cloud Riding—far from enough for high-speed flight, let alone combat.

Flying all the way, Li Yun soon arrived at the location of the Palace of Supreme Purity.

But just as he drifted down and landed on the square outside the palace, an excited shout came from above: "Junior Brother Li Yun!"

"Junior Brother Li Yun, you've finally come."

"Master was just summoning us. If you hadn't shown up, I was about to go find you."

As he spoke, Xuandu had already reached Li Yun's side.

Before Li Yun could react, Xuandu grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the interior of the Palace of Supreme Purity, saying as he went, "Hurry, hurry, hurry—don't keep Master waiting. Let's go in quickly~"

"Let me tell you, something big is about to happen this time."

"It seems to involve the other two Martial Uncles and their disciples~"
