Everyone's Questions

Azure Clouds' "Taiji Mystic Purity Dao" did not itself manifest this sort of attribute; it was only by relying on attribute-bearing magic treasures that there were so-called different attack effects.

It had been the same before. Without borrowing any magic treasure at all, Zhang Xiaofan had been able to display the Buddhist-attribute "Taiji Seal," which truly left plenty of room for people's imaginations to run wild.

"Look!" Luo Yunji raised one hand, stretched his palm toward the water in the basin, and lifted it through the air. A stream of water immediately shot up into the air, stopping above his fingertip and hovering there in a suspended sphere.

Song Daren stared wide-eyed at the floating mass of water, and then he saw the water ball condense little by little from the inside into ice.

"Then it gets cold, doesn't it!" Luo Yunji wore an expression that said, "It's that simple!" as he tossed the ice ball from his fingers to Song Daren.

As the youngest disciple of Big Bamboo Peak, Luo Yunji's monstrous talent was something everyone up and down Big Bamboo Peak acknowledged—but even monstrous talent ought to have a limit, right?

Did he have to be this stimulating!

The fact before his eyes was something Azure Clouds' "Taiji Mystic Purity Dao" was completely incapable of doing!

Song Daren did not say a word. Holding the ice ball, he turned and ran.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yunji watched Song Daren's retreating figure, scratched his head, and turned to Zhang Xiaofan in puzzlement as he asked.

Zhang Xiaofan had not figured it out either. He slowly shook his head, his face full of question marks.

Since he could not understand it, he did not keep dwelling on it.

Luo Yunji lowered his head and continued massaging Zhang Xiaofan's sprained foot.

"Master! This... how are we supposed to explain this?" Song Daren handed the ice ball in his hands to Tian Buyi, his face still showing panic and curiosity.

"What can this prove?!" Tian Buyi looked puzzled. That rotten little brat had actually gone and found him more trouble again!

"This is an immortal art unique to Dragon Head Peak!" Song Daren reminded him worriedly.

If Dragon Head Peak pursued the matter, they really would not have an easy time explaining it! Because even Master and Mistress did not know this move!

"This... how about I go talk to your sect leader martial uncle again?" Tian Buyi muttered somewhat unwillingly.

"If Sect Leader Martial Uncle mediates, that would be the best possible outcome!" Song Daren let out a breath of relief after hearing this.

"I think it would be best to resolve the matter all at once!" He Dazhi, at the side, rubbed his temple and offered the suggestion.

"Resolve it all at once?" Tian Buyi looked toward his fourth disciple, somewhat unable to understand.

"Based on the cultivation methods Junior Brother has displayed several times, I have a bold guess!" He Dazhi rubbed his temple, pondered for a moment, then continued, "Our sect's 'Taiji Mystic Purity Dao,' once it reaches the fifth level, allows one to comprehend all sorts of techniques."

"Comprehending them is one thing, but cultivation methods are another. Cultivation methods all use the 'Taiji Mystic Purity Dao' as their foundation to be studied and displayed. It could be said that these techniques are all based on the 'Taiji Mystic Purity Dao,' yet they can also exist independently. These techniques that the various branches of Azure Clouds have collected and created over the generations—if other sects obtained them, they could also display similar attack effects."

Hearing this, Tian Buyi nodded. He seemed to know what Fourth was trying to express.

He Dazhi continued, "But the 'Taiji Mystic Purity Dao' improved by Junior Brother doesn't seem to be like that." When he reached this point, he paused. Not only the several senior and junior brothers present, even Tian Buyi looked toward He Dazhi with great curiosity.

"Sigh!" Seeing everyone's curious-baby gazes, He Dazhi felt a bit of a headache coming on. "Master! Have none of you ever thought about it?"

"Thought about what?" Sixth asked, his face full of puzzlement.

"Seventh Junior Brother has the Buddhist-attribute 'Taiji Seal.' Junior Brother's not only has Buddhist, but also that blue-attribute 'Taiji Seal.' At the time, I didn't sense Junior Brother using any other cultivation method." He Dazhi slowly spoke with his brows tightly furrowed.

"What can that prove? We were all there at the time!" Fifth was still full of doubt.

"That proves Junior Brother's 'Taiji Mystic Purity Dao' is a cultivation method capable of cultivating 'attributes of heaven and earth,' and not by relying on magic treasures!" He Dazhi's words directly stunned everyone in the room stupid!

"What's the difference?" Song Daren scratched his head, somewhat awkwardly sweeping a glance over his master, mistress, and the other junior brothers. Seeing that the others all looked equally muddled, completely dizzy from He Dazhi's words, he felt better.

Fourth thought for a moment and answered, "It seems Junior Brother's improved cultivation method can rely on the cultivation method itself to cultivate the attributes that only magic treasures used to have! In the past, our cultivation methods all had to borrow magic treasures to display attack effects with attributes of heaven and earth, like Dragon Head Peak's Frost Immortal Art. They rely on ice-type magic treasures to have that sort of attack effect!"

"This... this means..." Sixth was so excited he stammered and could not get out a complete sentence.

"Junior Brother's cultivation method is stronger, and better!" He Dazhi nodded firmly. "Moreover, it seems that after each person cultivates it, the attributes the cultivation method displays are different!" When He Dazhi said this, he finally also untangled the doubt that had been troubling him all along.

"Different? What do you mean? Fourth! Explain yourself clearly!" Tian Buyi had an astonishing guess in his heart, and he needed to verify it.

"I don't know whether Junior Brother knows but didn't tell us, or if he simply hasn't realized it at all. Take me, for example!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and stood before everyone. With a lift of his right hand into empty air, a Taiji Seal of one green and one white color appeared before them.

"Isn't this just a perfectly normal 'Taiji Seal'!" Sixth watched for quite a while and still did not see any difference.

"It's still different! The green is a little paler than the original color." Fourth reminded him.

"So what?" Sixth still did not understand.

Fourth felt a headache coming on. How was there not a single one of them willing to use their brains and think!

"Is it an attribute? Fourth, what attribute is this one of yours?" Lu Daxin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came to a realization. As he spoke, he also raised his right hand, and a "Taiji Seal" of one green and one gold color appeared before him.

"Buddhist attribute?" Fifth stared somewhat dumbfounded at the "Taiji Seal" before him.

"No! It doesn't have that peaceful aura of the Buddhist sect." After looking at it, Tian Buyi shook his head.

"It should be the metal attribute among the five elements of heaven and earth!" He Dazhi replied after looking.

"So that's how it is! At first I thought the cultivation method Junior Brother gave us was supposed to be like this. But the 'Taiji Seal' I displayed felt different from Seventh Junior Brother's, so I thought I hadn't practiced it properly." Lu Daxin laughed "haha," embarrassed, and waved away his "Taiji Seal."

"Fourth, if your guess is right, then what's your attribute?" Fifth asked curiously.

"That's exactly what I find strange. I have absolutely no idea what attribute I am." He Dazhi spread his hands somewhat helplessly.

"Why not ask Junior Brother?" Du Bishu looked around at everyone and asked in confusion.

There was someone ready-made who could answer the question, so why bitterly search for the answer themselves?

"I hadn't seen Junior Brother much before. Aside from mealtimes, he vanished for the rest of the day. I also went to the back mountain where they practice to look, but I searched the entire back mountain and still couldn't find him or Seventh Junior Brother." He Dazhi sighed.

"That's impossible! Don't they take that path to the back mountain every day?" Song Daren frowned. Something was strange!

"Just call that little brat over and ask him, then we'll know!" Tian Buyi cut everyone off.

"Junior Brother is treating Seventh Junior Brother's injury. If we go call him, he might..." Song Daren looked toward Tian Buyi with a headache.

Junior Brother throwing a fit, or getting angry, was a very headache-inducing matter for them.
