Dao Ancestor

Chu Huai Xu stared at the booklet, utterly baffled.

Unwilling to believe it, he flipped to another page.

As a result, this page also contained only two words:

--"Listen to Advice!"

Judging from the handwriting, the first and second pages had probably not been written by the same person.

Chu Huai Xu was completely dumbfounded.

"What the heck? The two of them are singing in harmony."

Chu Huai Xu continued flipping through the pages, only to find that there was nothing else.

"That's it?" He grew even more confused.

"Could this be the latest Aperture Opening Stage Cultivation Method, one that hardly anyone practices?" That was the only possibility he could think of.

The Dao Sect was enormous, with countless Outer Sect Disciples.

One had to understand that although the Dao Sect's requirements were strict, only one in ten thousand was a genius. Still, the population base of the East Continent Mirror Kingdom was no small matter.

With so many Registered Disciples, it was impossible that only this handful had chosen it, right?

"Is it because its name isn't as flashy as those other Cultivation Methods?" Chu Huai Xu wondered.

"That shouldn't be the reason either."

After all, that sword was in the Dao Sect!

The Dao Sect was rife with the practice of swordsmanship.

As long as a Cultivation Method had the character for sword in its name, there was no reason for it to be so unpopular.

Chu Huai Xu was genuinely afraid that he was the third white mouse.

"But no matter what, this Cultivation Method has the highest Match Rate with me, at 93%."

"The system has determined that there's nothing wrong with it, so there definitely isn't."

In any case, as far as he was concerned, so-called Cultivation Methods were nothing more than containers for Experience Points.

With that thought, Chu Huai Xu tossed the booklet aside and picked up the Jade slip.

As a veteran player, he had some understanding of the cultivation system of the Xuanhuang Realm.

In the past, the Aperture Opening Stage had not existed.

The human body had nine orifices, which were used to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

Some people were born with all Nine Orifices open, like that long-legged woman next door.

Some people were born with not even one orifice open, like Chu Huai Xu at present.

For a Heavenly Proud Daughter like Han Shuangjiang, her Aperture Opening Stage was practically just a formality.

It could be understood as some impurities having accumulated in her nine orifices. All she needed to do now was rely on a Cultivation Method to cleanse those impurities.

It would not take long for her to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Aperture Opening Stage and then begin breaking into the First Realm!

Many years ago, only people born with all Nine Orifices open could cultivate. Everyone directly began practicing from the First Realm.

Therefore, in that era, the threshold for cultivation was extremely high, and cultivators were very few in number.

That was, until the Dao Ancestor appeared out of nowhere!

The invincible Dao Ancestor of the mortal world discovered the secrets of the nine human orifices and refined the Aperture Opening Pill.

After swallowing an Aperture Opening Pill, one could open the originally blocked orifices.

The so-called Aperture Opening Stage Cultivation Methods were actually used to assist in absorbing the medicinal power.

Circulating the Cultivation Method made the medicine more effective and allowed it to be absorbed more quickly.

People honored him as the Dao Ancestor because he had refined the Aperture Opening Pill and created the Aperture Opening Stage.

Without him, many people would never have had the chance to become cultivators.

There was an Aperture Opening Pill in Chu Huai Xu's Storage Token right now. The Dao Sect directly distributed them free of charge to Registered Disciples.

"I have to admit, Great Sect benefits really are good," he thought.

"Some small sects even require their disciples to buy Aperture Opening Pills with their own money."

After taking out the Aperture Opening Pill, Chu Huai Xu swallowed it in one gulp. He then spread the Jade slip open and placed it in front of himself.

"Ding! Learn the Cultivation Method—'Sword Refining Art'?" He heard the System prompt sound.

Did that even need to be asked?

Learn!

"Then, let's begin cultivating!"

Inquiry Peak was the main peak of Mountain Beyond Mountain.

The Dao Sect's main hall stood at the summit of Inquiry Peak.

At this moment, there were six people inside the main hall.

Sixth Elder Li Chunsong was among them.

The person seated at the head on the Sect Leader's throne was none other than the current Dao Sect Sect Leader—Xiang Yan.

This man had none of the bearing of an immortal. He looked ferocious and hideously ugly, the sort who clearly was not to be trifled with. He was also bald.

Judging from his appearance, he was vastly different from the Dao Sect Sect Leader everyone imagined.

Four people were seated on either side of the main hall: First Elder Lu Pan, Fifth Elder Zhao Shuqi, Ninth Elder Nangong Yue, and Tenth Elder Chu Yinyin.

Sixth Elder Li Chunsong stood in the center of the main hall, rubbing his hands constantly. His face was flushed and his mood excited. He was in the throes of a gambling itch, wondering how he should set things up before having a wager with his fellow senior and junior disciples.

"The person Junior Uncle told me to fetch has already been brought back." Li Chunsong cleared his throat and spoke.

Tenth Elder Chu Yinyin immediately asked, "What person?"

It was rather strange. All the Dao Sect's upper-level figures looked middle-aged, yet this Tenth Elder, Chu Yinyin, still looked like a young girl in the bloom of youth, appearing only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her body did not even look fully developed.

In reality, she was already thirty-two.

This was related to her Cultivation Method and her Spirit Fetus.

Li Chunsong turned his head and glanced at her before speaking bluntly. "It concerns matters above the Seventh Realm. You're only at the Sixth Realm, so don't ask."

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed along with him.

Chu Yinyin furrowed her brows and angrily slapped the small table beside her chair.

"What do you mean, you gambling addict? Are you looking down on me?"

Li Chunsong immediately put on a fawning smile. "How would I dare, Junior Sister? But Junior Uncle has classified this matter as the sect's highest-level secret. You know the Sect rule. Only those above the Seventh Realm are qualified to know."

"You're using the Sect rule to pressure me?" Chu Yinyin still refused to let it go.

Li Chunsong had no choice but to seek help. He looked toward First Elder Lu Pan. "Senior Brother, you're the Enforcement Elder. Say something."

Lu Pan, whose bearing was solemn and dignified, raised his head. His forehead wrinkles were especially deep, as if they had been carved in with a knife.

"According to the Sect rule, that is indeed the case," he answered seriously.

"Oh, so that's how it is! You've all joined forces to bully me!" Chu Yinyin rose directly to her feet.

Dao Sect Sect Leader Xiang Yan raised his hand and pressed it down slightly, signaling for her to calm down.

This bald man was not only extremely ugly; his voice was also unpleasant to hear, with a tone like that of a screaming chicken.

"Junior Sister, you've indeed been too indolent in the past. Your talent is clearly the most outstanding among all of us. Master and the uncles have both said that the end of your cultivation path will definitely be farther than ours, but you simply refuse to cultivate properly."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yinyin lowered her head and glanced at her own body. She became even more displeased. "Why should I cultivate? Just look at what I've cultivated into!"

She swept her gaze across everyone and said furiously, "If you won't tell me, then don't! I don't even want to hear it anymore! I'm leaving!"

She strode quickly to the entrance of the main hall, then stopped. She turned around and looked back.

"You really aren't going to tell me?"

The group of senior brothers and sisters said nothing. They merely looked at her with identical smiles.

Only then did Chu Yinyin angrily leave the main hall. This time, she really was gone.

Ninth Elder Nangong Yue was a gentle-looking woman. She was not especially beautiful, but she had a full, weighty bosom.

She shook her head and laughed. "Junior Sister really is something. She's already so old, yet why does her temper sometimes resemble her appearance? She never seems to grow up."

"She's always been like this. She hasn't changed at all." Fifth Elder Zhao Shuqi spread his hands.

"Her unusual Cultivation Method is one reason, but the main reason is that this is simply her nature," First Elder Lu Pan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he could not help letting out a soft exclamation. "Huh? Why is she still eavesdropping outside?"

As the Enforcement Elder, he was in charge of the Sect rules.

He waved his large hand and released a Sound-Sealing Array, completely isolating the sounds inside the main hall from the outside.

"Now she's really gone." Lu Pan extended his divine sense outside and smiled faintly.

Sect Leader Xiang Yan cleared his throat and spoke in his terribly unpleasant voice. "All right, let's discuss serious business."

Sixth Elder Li Chunsong knew it was his turn to speak.

"Following Uncle's instructions, I brought back two people from Biyou Meadow on Wumeng Mountain."

"The man is called Chu Huai Xu, and the woman is called Han Shuangjiang."

"This Han Shuangjiang is extraordinary. Guess what her Spirit Fetus is." He began playing coy.

Everyone said nothing. They simply stared at him in silence.

"You're all really no fun!" Li Chunsong complained.

"Her Spirit Fetus is as famous as the Dao Ancestor's Pure Yang Physique! She has the Profound Yin Physique!"

Everyone was shocked. "What?!"

The Profound Yin Physique—it was actually the Profound Yin Physique!

Ninth Elder Nangong Yue crossed her arms over her chest, her ample flesh pressing against her arms. "Do you think that if it has the Profound Yin Physique, there's a chance she can gain its recognition?"

Everyone was slightly stunned. "It?"

However, everyone quickly reacted and understood exactly what Nangong Yue meant by it.

It was a sword.

A sword left behind by the Dao Ancestor.
