A Sudden Clear Wind Condenses Sword Intent, Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and Demonic Gods' Origins!
In the dojo.
Two figures were in the courtyard.
One sat cross-legged on a cushion, features flawless and peerless; the other knelt on the ground, bearing an extraordinary aura, both men of remarkable appearance.
Seeing Hongyun's inherently kind nature.
Qingyuan felt gratified inside, helped him up from the ground, and said, "Since you have taken me as your master, I will tell you who I am."
"I am the chief disciple under Sect Master Tongtian of Shangqing, the Senior Disciple Brother of the Jie Sect, Qingyuan. Now that you have entered my tutelage, you will be a third-generation disciple of the Xuan Sect in the future. You must know that when you walk the Primordial Wilderness, you must never commit heinous evils. Do not think an evil is small and do it. Otherwise, if you commit a monstrous sin, your master will clean house even if it costs me my life!"
"Do not think an evil is small and do it?"
Yun Zhongzi's eyes lit up, and he bowed to ask, "Master, I have always helped others regardless of whether the good was great or small. Why, when I am in trouble, is there no one to help me?"
"Because they are all your teachers."
"Ah? What does that mean?" Yun Zhongzi was somewhat puzzled.
"Hahahaha, didn't they teach you that wantonly offering kind-hearted help only brings you empty returns?"
Looking at Yun Zhongzi's contemplative expression, Qingyuan said solemnly, "Although you mean well in helping others, most people harbor intentions of using you rather than respect. They also envy you for obtaining the Primordial Violet Qi. How could they possibly help you?"
"In truth, society... I have seen many like you in the Primordial Wilderness. Fresh out of the gate, ahem, relying on your abilities to enter the Primordial Wilderness, thinking you can travel far and wide helping people to earn countless good names. Perhaps you have no intention of building a reputation, but you must understand that not everyone knows gratitude. They will envy you, hate you, resent you, loathe you!"
"When your momentum is strong, guests and friends come from all directions. But when you fall, it's a scene of the tree falling and the monkeys scattering!"
"Let me tell you the story of the Farmer and the Snake. Once upon a time, a bitter winter suddenly descended, freezing a venomous snake that hadn't had time to hibernate. A cultivator named the Farmer passed by and kindly treated it. But who would have thought that the moment the snake woke up, instead of repaying the kindness, it bit the Farmer back, poisoned him to death, took his belongings, and fled."
"In truth, kindness is not wrong. What is wrong is not placing it on the right person."
"Friends like that are true confidants."
"So, your master begs you, in the future, to restrain your kindness. Don't help just anyone. Instead, help those who are worth helping..."
Upon hearing these words.
Yun Zhongzi's mind roared like thunder.
He stood as dumb as a wooden chicken, as if struck by lightning, feeling only that something inside him had shattered.
Suddenly, a clear wind swept in, stirring his hair.
Yun Zhongzi's face flushed red, and he violently vomited a large pool of black blood.
On his face.
A look of complete, unobstructed release, and a faint, self-mocking smile at his past self.
"Disciple has understood. Thank you, Master, for imparting wisdom and resolving my doubts!"
Yun Zhongzi bowed again.
"En... Don't dwell too much on the past. It was just a bit of wind and frost."
Qingyuan said calmly, "Since you have entered my tutelage, I will now bestow upon you a method of cultivation."
Then.
Qingyuan bestowed the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art, the Azure Lotus Sword Technique, and a Mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure, the Azure Rainbow Sword, upon Yun Zhongzi.
Having received the methods.
Yun Zhongzi temporarily sank into sorting through the 'ppt' that Qingyuan had sent him.
At this moment.
The system's granting feedback took effect.
[Ding! Host has granted disciple Yun Zhongzi the Azure Lotus Sword Technique and the Mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure Azure Rainbow Sword. Critical hit feedback activated. Rewarding host with the <Chaos Purple Firmament Three Thousand Sword Techniques> and the Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Innate Two Principles Qiankun Sword! Host, please continue your efforts!!]
[Chaos Purple Firmament Three Thousand Sword Daos: Contains the supreme sword dao of the myriad realms of the universe, the ultimate method of the Great Way of the Sword!!]
[Innate Two Principles Qiankun Sword: Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Contains the momentum of Yin-Yang and Qiankun. The Twin Swords conceal three thousand measures of Drowning Water and Violet Heavenly Fire within. Those who enter the formation find it hard to escape death!]
Seeing such generous rewards from the disciple-recruiting system.
Qingyuan was overjoyed inside.
But it also confirmed some of his conjectures.
"As I thought!"
"Using rewards granted by the system to bestow upon disciples does not trigger critical hit feedback. Only by using items that belong to me to bestow them will I receive rewards."
Regarding this.
Qingyuan was not concerned.
In the future, he only needed to secure his position as the Senior Disciple Brother of the Jie Sect. Why worry about having no disciples to take or no resources to give?
He would only grow stronger and stronger!
Yun Zhongzi snapped out of the methods transmitted by Qingyuan, a look of gratitude on his face: "Thank you, Master, for bestowing such methods. Your disciple will surely cultivate diligently and not disappoint your deep affection!"
Although he knew of his past memories.
But they were all fragmented, like flowers glimpsed from a galloping horse.
The techniques of the past had long since vanished without a trace.
He hadn't expected a Xuanxian to offer him any good techniques—the Azure Lotus Sword Technique and the Mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure were already that.
Who could have known that the other would bestow upon him the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art, a heaven-defying technique of the Primordial Wilderness!
This art—even Hongyun of old had never been permitted to peruse it!!
Forget it. Let's not speak of the past.
What does the past count for?
Nothing but a bit of wind and frost!!
"Mm, you may go down and cultivate for now. I grant you this half-drop of Three Lights Divine Water to return and consolidate your Primordial Spirit, and recover well."
Qingyuan split the Three Lights Divine Water granted by the system in two.
He bestowed it upon Yun Zhongzi.
Then he pushed the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, which floated in the air, over. "Take the gourd back."
Yun Zhongzi was stunned, and said in disbelief, "Master, this... this gourd, you're giving it to me?"
No wonder Yun Zhongzi was shocked.
This Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd was a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, containing Chaos Red Sand within. When the red sand was arrayed into the Red Sand Formation, it could slaughter any living being that entered. Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, upon being tainted by the red sand, would have their Primordial Spirit eroded, their body dying and their Dao vanishing!!
It was fiercely murderous beyond measure!
I fear that even a Quasi-Saint with some reputation would fight for it without regard for face.
But a mere Xuanxian... was returning his gourd?
Afraid that Qingyuan didn't know the gourd's power, Yun Zhongzi quickly explained the divine ability of the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd.
But Qingyuan shook his head and said, "This is your dharma treasure. If I were to embezzle even this, how could I have the face to be your master?"
"Go back and rest."
Qingyuan was not tempted, nor did he want to covet his disciple's treasure.
To him, treasures would only grow more numerous in the future, never fewer. On the contrary, the stronger his disciple became, the stronger he himself would be!
Besides, one single innate spiritual treasure wouldn't make him rich—why create a rift with his disciple over it?
Unexpectedly.
The system chimed again.
[Ding! Host has granted disciple Yun Zhongzi the High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd. Critical hit reward activated: Host receives the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Nine-Nine Chaos Divine Firmament Spiritual Treasure Gourd!]
[Nine-Nine Chaos Divine Firmament Spiritual Treasure Gourd: Contains Chaos Divine Thunder within. When the divine thunder is unleashed, it destroys heaven and earth, collapses Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, shatters the worlds of countless Ganges sands and universes. Even a Hunyuan would not dare to take it lightly!!]
"A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
Qingyuan was shaken inwardly.
Fortunately, the years of 'suffering humiliation' within the Sect of Interception had long forged his deep composure, and his expression did not change.
Yun Zhongzi knew nothing of this.
He respectfully kowtowed three times before turning and leaving.
He flew to a remote corner of Serene Peak, built a courtyard like Qingyuan's, and entered secluded cultivation to recover.
Seeing Yun Zhongzi leave.
Qingyuan stared at the pool of black blood on the ground and sighed inwardly, "Suddenly, a clear wind condenses into sword qi, straightly cutting down youthful ambition. I hope that in the future, Yun Zhongzi won't be such a goody-two-shoes anymore. Otherwise, as a Disciple of the Sect of Interception, he might be schemed to death by the Chan Sect without even knowing it."
"The remnant soul of Hongyun came to Kunlun Mountains, likely drawn by the Great Dao Spiritual Charm of the Primordial Wilderness's foremost holy land. Over the long ages, it devoured spiritual clouds and gave birth to intelligence, and was thus taken in by my uncle, Venerable Yuanshi, becoming the True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue of the Chan Sect, Yun Zhongzi—free from calamity and suffering in the mortal tribulation, at ease and carefree."
"I wonder what mood that uncle of mine will be in when he finds out a junior snatched his prize..."
"Forget it. Don't think too much."
"I also need to hasten my cultivation, or else Duobao will come to slay me too..."
Suddenly.
Qingyuan laid down layers of formations.
He claimed the rewards granted by the system: the High-grade Innate Demon God Origin and the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.
Boom!
He felt his body tremble.
A terrifying, vast vitality erupted within him, coiling like dragons and serpents to revolve the cosmos, frantically reshaping his flesh and soul. An indescribable mystery and creation, like spring rain silent and fine, yet also like thunder splitting apart.
Qingyuan felt his ears ring and his sight fade, losing all consciousness.
When he awoke again.
He found that his original form had transformed into a Twenty-Four Petaled Innate Green Lotus, with creation, vitality... and all kinds of laws and Dao rhythms swirling around him like stars.
At this moment—
He felt the difference in Heaven and Earth.
All the obscure and cryptic teachings of the past became clear in an instant. Observing the Primordial Wilderness, he could now perceive the manifestation of various laws. The Innate Spiritual Energy and Dao Rhyme of Heaven and Earth surged toward him like a tidal wave.
Even if he did not actively cultivate, Lazing around in his Dojo, he could still smoothly and unimpededly reach the realm above Golden Immortal.
After that, stepping into Taiyi and Daluo would be effortless, with no bottlenecks or tribulations in his way.
But with his previous Acquired Origin, he would likely have spent his entire life struggling to even touch the threshold of Golden Immortal, achieving nothing!
"No wonder Origin is so important in the Primordial Wilderness. Compared to before, it's like the gap between dust and stars—unreachable, forever unable to intersect!"
Qingyuan was deeply shaken.
Feeling the vast Innate Spiritual Energy and Great Dao Spiritual Essence surging around him like ocean waves, He casually took a few breaths, Which surpassed years of bitter Secluded Cultivation from before!
"An Upper Grade Innate Demon God Origin, a twenty-four-pin Lotus Platform as my true body, has allowed me to comprehend Creation and Life—laws so difficult to grasp. My true body's innate talents also make me immune to all evils, endlessly regenerative, and imperishable in Creation. If I cultivate with the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, I will likely advance a thousand miles in a single day."
"If I can forge an indestructible body, who in the same realm can slay me?"
"No wonder Innate Divine Beings can gallop across the Primordial Wilderness, becoming the one-in-a-billion overlords. The innate talents and divine abilities they are born with are simply too strong—greater than the gap between dust and the sun."
Qingyuan sighed.
A White Sword and a Black Sword appeared in his hands, each six feet long, engraved with exquisite and intricate divine patterns.
The White Sword was covered in Ziwei Stars, with complex fire patterns like sunset clouds spreading across the blade. The Black Sword was inscribed with an endless Black Sea, its waves surging and crashing against the shore. As the two swords appeared, Heaven and Earth Lost Color, the sun and moon trembled, and even the cosmos twisted, Yin and Yang wavering...
