"Immortal Venerable Li is absolutely right. I have benefited immensely." *? ?* I also rather agreed with Li Xiangru's view. The existence of a general framework could correct many errors. It was like a main trunk—the more luxuriantly it grew, the more it served as the foundation supplying the branches and leaves. It would not be easily changed. As for my ten doctrines, they all came from extensions of that general framework.

Of course, that did not mean they were completely replicated. Some only possessed the sword chants and incantations, as well as the form and power; in truth, they were still different inside and out from the opponent's original doctrine. Take the Heavenly Mechanism Doctrine, for example. I did not possess its doctrine, but I could use the doctrines I possessed to display its sword techniques, giving them a fresh and unique power of my own! That fresh power could even surpass the original!

After the derivation and development of doctrines through countless ages, some side branches have advanced for hundreds or even thousands of years, yet achieved a more luxuriant development than the main branch. They surpassed the founding ancestor of the Dao, formed their own unique lineages, and separated themselves from the original. In the end, they even formed
