Nine Dragon Emperor Body Protection Divine Technique

"It's done!"

Opening his eyes, Li Yun immediately sensed the Taiqing Divine Thunder pulsing in his hand.

Though still weak, not even reaching the level of a Minor Divine Ability, this was only because he had just begun his training not long ago.

Given a little more time to cultivate, Li Yun was confident he could soon fully train it to the Minor Accomplishment stage. At that point, the Taiqing Divine Thunder would be a genuine Minor Divine Ability, making it much simpler to use against enemies.

Sorcery and Divine Abilities were divided into: Initiation, Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, Perfection, and Completion!

With this in mind, Li Yun's gaze instinctively shifted to Xuandu beside him.

Unexpectedly, Xuandu had yet to awaken, still immersed in the inheritance of the Taiqing Divine Thunder.

For a moment, Li Yun gained a new understanding of his Top-Tier Comprehension trait.

Xuandu's talent was beyond doubt; otherwise, he could not have passed the trials set by Laozi. Within the Primordial World, he was undoubtedly First Tier.

Yet even so, the latter was far behind Li Yun, who had already mastered the Taiqing Divine Thunder. This showed just how immense the benefits of the Top-Tier Comprehension trait were.

And this was only a red-tier trait. If the Top-Tier Comprehension were upgraded to a gold-tier trait, what heights would it reach?

"Li Yun~"

At that moment, Laozi's voice rang out, pulling Li Yun's thoughts back.

"Master!"

Not daring to delay, Li Yun bowed to Laozi and awaited his command.

Laozi nodded in satisfaction, casually took out a Jade Bottle, and tossed it to him. "Inside are one hundred and eight Golden Elixirs I have refined. They are very suitable for your current realm and can also accelerate your cultivation speed in the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. Take them and return to cultivate."

Golden Elixirs!

A gleam flashed in his eyes, and Li Yun's heart surged with joy.

Laozi was most famous for his alchemy, and among his creations, the Golden Elixirs were the most renowned.

These pills not only enhanced cultivation speed but also increased one's foundation, making them the most coveted treasure for cultivators.

What he hadn't expected was that as merely an Inner Disciple, he would receive such treatment. Shouldn't these have been given to Xuandu, the Direct Disciple?

Though surprised, Li Yun had no intention of refusing. He reached out, caught the Jade Bottle, and bowed. "Thank you, Master!"

"Your disciple will not disappoint Master's expectations and will cultivate diligently."

With that, Li Yun glanced at Xuandu, who had yet to awaken, and decided not to linger. "Master, your disciple will take his leave."

"Go on~"

"Don't forget about the Exchange Conference. I will summon you when the time comes."

Waving his hand, Laozi made no move to stop him.

Li Yun did not hesitate. Turning, he walked out of the Palace of Supreme Purity.

Once outside, he mounted a cloud and sped toward his dwelling.

With one hundred and eight Golden Elixirs, he planned to absorb and refine them all to raise his cultivation. After all, the Three Teachings Exchange Conference of the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects was crucial to him. He needed to defeat enough opponents to acquire traits.

As Li Yun's figure departed, Laozi's gaze fell on Xuandu, still immersed in enlightenment, and a trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

Though the latter's comprehension was at a normal pace and considered decent within the Primordial World, comparison was odious. Compared to Li Yun, who had directly comprehended and mastered the Taiqing Divine Thunder, Xuandu seemed far too ordinary.

In the Secluded Valley's bamboo grove, Li Yun's figure returned.

After entering his dwelling, Li Yun took out the Jade Bottle and the Ultimate Emperor Seal, a smile curling at his lips. "Taking Laozi as my master was the right move."

"Sect Master Tongtian and Yuanshi Tianzun are also Saints and wealthy, but they have too many disciples. Forget about picking a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure; even obtaining one as a reward would be difficult, and there would be absolutely no room for choice."

"But unfortunately, the spiritual treasures of great value I know of are not in my master's hands, but in those of my Two Martial Uncles."

"The Sea Calming Pearl, which can evolve into the Twenty-Four Heavens, and the Primordial Golden Dou, which carries the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, are both in Third Martial Uncle's hands. Second Martial Uncle's Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud is a Pseudo Innate Supreme Treasure. If pushed to its limits, it could even open up Myriad Worlds, allowing one to walk the Path of Creation, birth life, and spread faith through the Divine Path—this could lead to achieving the Dao~"

After a moment, Li Yun snapped back to reality and shook his head, casting aside these impractical thoughts.

After all, the treasures in the hands of Sect Master Tongtian and Yuanshi Tianzun were not something he could obtain. Whether the Sea Calming Pearl, the Primordial Golden Dou, or the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, each was more precious than the last. How could he, an Outer Sect member, covet them?

With that thought, Li Yun did not hesitate. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood onto the Ultimate Emperor Seal, formed hand seals, and channeled his Magical Power into it to begin the initial recognition and refinement.

"Buzz~"

Before long, a buzzing sound rang out.

As far as the eye could see, the Ultimate Emperor Seal blazed with brilliance, resonated, and finally transformed into a streak of light that shot into Li Yun's Sea of Consciousness.

At that moment, Li Yun's body trembled. After the Ultimate Emperor Seal entered his Sea of Consciousness, it flew directly into the hands of his Primordial Spirit. A special Emperor's Aura surged out, covering the Primordial Spirit and shielding it within.

Immediately after, under the cover of this Emperor's Aura, a special stream of information was transmitted into his mind.

[Nine Dragon Emperor Body Protection Divine Technique: Uses Emperor's Aura as the foundation to nourish the body, uses the body's Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Channels as a vessel to evolve Emperor Dragon Qi. Cultivated to the extreme, it can evolve nine Emperor Dragon Qi for body protection, capable of attacking, defending, and dispelling all negative forces!]

"Good heavens!"

"This Ultimate Emperor Seal actually contains a matching technique!"

After receiving the information, a gleam flashed in Li Yun's eyes, and his expression grew somewhat excited.

Although he currently lacks the Emperor's Aura and cannot cultivate it, there is no denying that the value of the Nine Dragon Emperor Body Protection Divine Technique is absolutely immense—when pushed to its utmost limits, it is in no way inferior to the protection offered by a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure defensive artifact, not to mention its various other functions.

Most importantly, its ability to dispel all negative effects is virtually identical to the effect of the Starlight Duster obtained by Xuandu, making it entirely possible to avoid dangers such as Qi Deviation or Inner Demon invasion.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent~"

Bursting into loud laughter, Li Yun quickly calmed down.

After taking a deep breath, he no longer paid attention to the Ultimate Emperor Seal. Instead, he took out the Jade Bottle, retrieved one of the Golden Elixirs from within, and placed it into his mouth.

Gulp—

As the Golden Elixir entered his stomach, Li Yun sat cross-legged, activated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, and entered a cultivation state.

In an instant, the medicinal power of the Golden Elixir erupted within his abdomen.

With the operation of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, Li Yun clearly felt his cultivation speed increase by more than tenfold.

As the medicinal power of the Golden Elixir was continuously refined into Magical Power and entered his Dantian, he could even clearly sense his Magical Power becoming richer and purer!
