Sunrise at Tang Valley

Before Yi Yun had the real opportunity to learn the Tai'a Sacred Law, he had many imaginations about this top-level cultivation method of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom and wondered what it was like. Now, he finally had the chance to see its true face.

However, Yi Yun was quite surprised when he saw the first volume of "Tai'a Sacred Law".

The first volume of the Tai'a Sacred Law contains only a few key words and general principles, and apart from that, it consists of only one diagram.

This image is the main body of the first volume of the <Tai'a Sacred Law>.

Yi Yun was stunned for a moment. In his memory, the cultivation techniques were all paragraphs of text.

The more profound the skill, the more obscure and difficult the text becomes, requiring one to comprehend the meaning and imagery within the words.

But now, a single picture is a complete martial arts manual?

This picture depicts a sun.

Yi Yun looked at it, a strange feeling gradually arose within him. This Sunrise was clearly a picture, yet it seemed to radiate boundless brilliance, as dazzling as the sun in the sky!

This picture...

Yi Yun took a light breath. He felt that the person who drew this picture had an extraordinary technique. He possessed unparalleled painting skills, and every stroke he made contained an indescribable artistic conception that was unfathomable.

"No wonder the <Tai'a Sacred Law> is so expensive just because it's only being lent to us! This jade slip is incredibly precious; just this one painting of the sun is something no one else could possibly copy!"

"In the entire Tai'a Divine City, there are probably very few jade slips containing the first three volumes of the <Tai'a Sacred Law>. Moreover, each of these jade slips was likely drawn by unparalleled sages throughout the millions of years of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom! Only the most outstanding among the sages could create such drawings. Even the elders of Tai'a Divine City today may not have this ability!"

"This is only the first three volumes, so the copies of the later volumes, <The Tai'a Sacred Law>, will likely be even fewer, and the price will naturally be even higher!"

Yi Yun understood. The Tai'a Divine City controlled the Tai'a Sacred Law so strictly for two reasons. First Tai'a Sacred Law was the foundation of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom and could not be easily passed on to outsiders. Second, the jade slips recording the Tai'a Sacred Law were too few and the resources were too precious to allow everyone to have the opportunity to cultivate it.

Only the most exceptional talents among the elite can cultivate the <Tai'a Sacred Law>!

Yi Yun continued reading. Below this Sun Diagram was a text, which was the general outline of the <Tai'a Sacred Law>!

The general outline consists of four characters per line, totaling only twenty-seven lines and one hundred and eight characters!

"The sun rises over Tang Valley, traversing the eight directions, illuminating heaven and earth, resplendent and majestic. Of the ten suns of Fusang, who holds the pure Yang...?"

Although this passage is somewhat obscure, it has a strange charm when read aloud; it seems catchy and flows very smoothly.

Yi Yun read it more than ten times in a row, and the more she read it, the more she felt it!

He felt as if those characters had come alive, each one imbued with spirit. Every stroke was like a sword, sharp and incomparable!

What beautiful calligraphy!

These characters, like the Sun Diagram, convey an indescribable artistic conception even without considering their literal meaning; they require slow and careful appreciation.

Even if an ordinary calligrapher were to write perfectly, they wouldn't be able to capture this kind of charm.

Although Yi Yun could not fully understand the artistic conception of combining the general outline with the Sun Diagram, just reading the general outline made Yi Yun feel his blood rushing and a warm, comforting power penetrating deep into his bones.

"Great picture, great article, great calligraphy!"

Yi Yun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. No wonder the Tai'a Sacred Law was hailed as the national treasure of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom. Compared to it, all the other cultivation methods Yi Yun had seen before were like fireflies compared to the bright moon!

Yi Yun devoured the Tai'a Sacred Law, observing the Mysterious Charm of the Sun Diagram and the 108-character general outline.

The Tai'a Sacred Law is profound and extensive; there are many things that Yi Yun cannot yet understand.

Before I knew it, another day had passed.

As the sun set, Yi Yun let out a long sigh of relief. This day had gone by so quickly!

"The Tai'a Sacred Law is truly difficult. If I try to figure it out on my own, I'll easily get stuck. I need to find a teacher..."

Yi Yun muttered to himself.

In Tai'a Divine City, there are many powerful human beings who sometimes hold classes. As long as you pay a certain amount of Dragon Scale Rune, you can attend their classes.

If you're incredibly wealthy and can afford to pay enough Glory Points, you can even get one-on-one guidance from a Sage Elder.

Of course, most people wouldn't be so extravagant. While listening to the guidance of sages is good, paying for it with Glory Points requires careful consideration.

By the time Yi Yun returned to Tai'a Divine City, it was already late, and there were no more human experts giving lessons.

But that didn't matter. Yi Yun went to the Myriad Treasures Pagoda and rented an Imprint Array Disk there.

This recording captures a scene from four years ago where a powerful figure from Tai'a Divine City imparted the <Tai'a Sacred Law> to several geniuses from the city.

These geniuses from the divine city are no ordinary people.

Qin Haotian, currently ranked number one on both the Heaven and Earth Ranking, is among them!

Because this lesson was explained in great detail and was considered a classic, and because the students were of high caliber, the content of the lesson was made into many Imprint Array Disk and rented out and sold in the Myriad Treasures Pagoda.

For four consecutive years, the rental and sales of this array have been excellent. Anyone who has the opportunity to learn the <Tai'a Sacred Law> will definitely not miss it.

Even those who don't have the opportunity to learn the Tai'a Sacred Law will rent it out of curiosity to see what it's all about.

After all, the rental prices for these properties are very cheap, and many people are hoping to gain some insights by simply taking a look, thinking it won't hurt.

Of course, they gained virtually nothing.

After all, the Tai'a Sacred Law is too difficult to learn. Even those who have the cultivation method jade slip may not be able to learn it, let alone those who do not have the cultivation method jade slip and just listen to the lectures. It would be even more difficult!

"Four years ago, I observed the array formations. Although it wasn't as effective as attending the lecture in person, it wasn't far off."

As Yi Yun thought this, he fiddled with the array plate in his hand.

At the core of this array is an ingenious Illusion Formation that can record past events. With the help of the energy of the Savage Bone Relic, these images can be preserved for hundreds of years.

Yi Yun infused some vital energy into the array, and immediately he saw the scene within the array plate.

The first thing that catches the eye is a person dressed in a black cloak.

The man in the black cloak was thin and had three striking parallel scars on his face, as if they had been scratched by the claws of some wild beast.

"It's him!"

Yi Yun was taken aback. The man in the black cloak was none other than the Enforcement Envoy who had taken Yi Yun to see Elder Jian Ge!

"This person is very powerful! In Tai'a Divine City, apart from the elders, this cloaked man's strength might rank among the top few..."

Yi Yun muttered to himself, then looked at the students listening to the lecture.

Four men and one woman, one of whom was a boy dressed in hemp clothing, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, carrying two crossed swords on his back.

His entire being was like a sword, exuding an imposing aura.

Qin Haotian!

Yi Yun's eyes lit up. He didn't know Qin Haotian in person, but he had heard about Qin Haotian's characteristics. His weapon was a pair of swords, one long and one short, both extremely sharp.

This is Qin Haotian four years ago, when Qin Haotian thirteen years old!

Beside Qin Haotian was a hunched-over boy, tall and thin with narrow, sharp eyes.

"Could this be Li Xiao?"

Yi Yun had heard of Li Xiao's name a few days ago. At that time, Yi Yun was practicing archery at the shooting range and saw several very ordinary arrows that pierced through the Purple Tungsten Steel target, with the arrowheads even hitting the back of the target.

Those arrows were shot by Li Xiao.

When Yi Yun rented the array plate, he saw the introduction saying that the four men and one woman listening to the lecture on this array plate were all prominent figures on the current Heaven and Earth Ranking. This was no coincidence, because those qualified to learn the <Tai'a Sacred Law> must be the cream of the crop. Apart from people like Qin Haotian and Li Xiao, others might not be qualified to listen to the cloaked man's lecture.

"That girl... must be Luo Huo'er..."

Yi Yun looked at the only girl among the five people.

Four years ago, Luo Huo'er had already blossomed into a beautiful young woman.

She was dressed in red, with rosy cheeks, dimples on her face, and a pair of bright, smiling eyes that gave her a very lively and charming appearance.

"Luo Huo'er, Qin Haotian, Li Xiao, and those two others are also ruthless figures on the Heaven and Earth Ranking. They are brothers, known as the Twin Geniuses of Tai'a Heroes, but I don't know who the elder brother is..."

Yi Yun muttered to himself, and at that moment, the cloaked figure began to give a lecture.

In a deep, hoarse voice, he recited the general outline of the Tai'a Sacred Law: "The sun rises from Tang Valley, traversing the eight directions, illuminating heaven and earth, resplendent and magnificent..."

Although the cloaked man's voice was unpleasant, there was a special charm to it when he recited the general principles of the Tai'a Sacred Law.

Yi Yun was completely engrossed in listening.

The general outline of the * Tai'a Sacred Law * is written with a profound and evocative style; how can it be read in such an extraordinary way?

Based on this alone, Yi Yun knew that the cloaked man must have reached a very high level in cultivating the Tai'a Sacred Law.

Before he knew it, Yi Yun felt as if he were sitting with Qin Haotian and Luo Huo'er from four years ago, listening to the cloaked man's teachings.

"The most difficult part of practicing the Tai'a Sacred Law is condensing the Radiant Sun True Qi! When the founding emperor of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom explained the Tai'a Sacred Law, he said that only if you can condense the Radiant Sun True Qi can you be considered suitable for practicing it. Otherwise, you'd better switch to another cultivation method, as the Tai'a Sacred Law may not be suitable for you."

"Among those who practice the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, perhaps only one in five can condense the Radiant Sun True Qi..."

Hearing the black-cloaked man's words, Yi Yun was secretly alarmed. One in five might not sound like an exaggerated ratio, but don't forget, those who have the opportunity to cultivate the <Tai'a Sacred Law> are already the cream of the crop. And even among such a group, four out of five will fail!

"You lot are all people I have high hopes for, and among the new recruits of the past two years, you are the first to have the opportunity to learn the <Tai'a Sacred Law>. I ask that you all gather your Radiant Sun True Qi and not disappoint me!" (To be continued~^~)
