Profound Yin Art

Zhang Yang hurried to the Scripture Repository with Situ Mingyue.

He was eager to see the Scripture Repository's other true face and discover what cultivation arts lay within.

Upon entering the Scripture Repository, he activated the Sect Master Token with spiritual energy on the first floor.

As he poured spiritual energy into the Sect Master Token, it emitted ripples that stirred a reaction from the Scripture Repository. The Scripture Repository was like a woman shedding her outer garments, revealing its true appearance beneath, with countless hidden ravines concealed within.

Zhang Yang entered those areas of the Scripture Repository that had never before been accessible, picking up Jade Slips one after another to inspect the information within.

Situ Mingyue, following behind him, hesitated briefly before entering those spaces as well.

However, although she saw many secret manuals, she did not reach out to touch any of them.

She understood clearly that, though both she and Zhang Yang were disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, they were utterly different.

Without question, Zhang Yang was being groomed as the next School Leader.

The fact that she had been allowed inside to look at these secrets was already a favor from Azure Cloud Master. If she presumptuously examined their contents and displeased him, the outcome would likely be extremely grim.

Especially after witnessing Azure Cloud Master's other face, she truly did not dare take this nominal master of hers lightly.

The cultivation arts in the hidden spaces vastly outnumbered those openly displayed.

Zhang Yang browsed the Jade Slips one by one and quickly found the cultivation art he wanted.

"This is the Profound Yin Art you wanted!" Zhang Yang handed the Jade Slip to Situ Mingyue. "But Master has already explained the problems with the Profound Yin Art. You'd better think it through carefully."

"What is there to think about? Isn't it just a matter of the Dao Foundation?" Situ Mingyue did not care in the slightest as she accepted the Jade Slip. "Master said you were to teach me how to make my Dao Foundation more solid, so don't you dare brush it off."

Zhang Yang said irritably, "Master said that cultivating the Profound Yin Art to the end will bring enormous trouble. And don't end up becoming someone else's cultivation furnace."

"Pah!" Situ Mingyue snorted coldly. "With Master here, who would dare?"

Zhang Yang shook his head. "I can't be bothered with you. Hurry up and memorize the Foundation Establishment Realm portion. I'll go find the Golden Core Realm section."

As for how to make one's Dao Foundation solid?

Do not break through. Just absorb spiritual energy with all your might.

Situ Mingyue hurriedly memorized the Foundation Establishment Realm content. A short while later, she returned the Jade Slip to Zhang Yang.

"Senior Brother, hurry and take me to find the Golden Core Realm section."

She had already reviewed the Foundation Establishment Realm content, and its cultivation method was completely different from her current art. She tried circulating it once, and even her Golden Core trembled violently. Clearly, the Profound Yin Art suited her best.

At that moment, she was eagerly anticipating the Golden Core Realm cultivation art.

Judging from the current situation, as long as she cultivated seriously, reaching the Nascent Soul Realm should be as easy as turning over her hand.

Zhang Yang put away the Jade Slip and led Situ Mingyue to the second floor of the Scripture Repository. He activated the Sect Master Token again, and the second floor of the Scripture Repository gained many more spaces, along with many more Jade Slips.

"These cultivation arts really are much more formidable than the ones we saw before." Zhang Yang felt somewhat excited. I need to memorize them all. Later, I can try cultivating them too.

He was, after all, a "Blank Golden Core," without any fixed Proto-Dao Form. Naturally, cultivating other arts would not be a problem.

Moreover, he felt that perhaps by cultivating these powerful arts, he might be able to form his Proto-Dao Form ahead of time. That would be a tremendous breakthrough.

Before long, he found the Golden Core Realm portion of the Profound Yin Art and handed the Jade Slip to Situ Mingyue.

After Situ Mingyue had memorized the contents, the two finally left the Scripture Repository.

"Senior Brother, thank you. I need to go cultivate!" Situ Mingyue said goodbye and left.

Having obtained the cultivation art best suited for her, she naturally had to begin cultivating it immediately.

Zhang Yang returned to Azure Cloud Peak and found Qin Yushu already seated in meditation.

"Master, he is..."

Azure Cloud Master nodded with a smile. "He is not bad. He has begun comprehending the Dao. Once he finishes, he should be able to enter the Primordial Spirit Realm."

He had displayed the mysteries of the Void Transformation Realm so plainly. If Qin Yushu still could not comprehend it, then this was all he would ever amount to in this life.

"Master, he..." Zhang Yang glanced at Qin Yushu but did not continue.

Azure Cloud Master understood and nodded. "Just say it. He cannot hear anything right now. I set up a restriction to prevent any accidents from disturbing his comprehension of the Dao."

Zhang Yang asked, "What if he receives your benefits but refuses to do things for us? What if one day he grows powerful and develops other thoughts about the Azure Cloud Sect..."

Azure Cloud Master smiled faintly. "From now on, the higher his realm becomes, the more he will fear me. As long as I remain in the Azure Cloud Sect, he will not dare harbor any thoughts toward it."

"Then I'm relieved."

"About your junior sister..."

Azure Cloud Master started to speak, then stopped again.

Zhang Yang asked in surprise, "What happened to Junior Sister?"

Azure Cloud Master shook his head. "There is nothing for you to do here. Go cultivate quickly. Your realm is what matters most."

There were some matters he had not figured out himself, so he did not say anything further.

Zhang Yang felt that Azure Cloud Master was acting somewhat strange today, but he did not dwell on it and took his leave.

There were indeed still many matters throughout the Azure Cloud Sect waiting for him to handle.

Qin Yushu finally woke after half a day of meditation. He respectfully kowtowed three times to Azure Cloud Master. "Many thanks for your guidance, Senior."

To be honest, he felt that even his own master had never transmitted the Dao to him with such earnestness. Of course, his master was also incapable of transmitting the Dao as Azure Cloud Master had.

This search for the Dao had yielded him far too much. Reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm was now certain.

Azure Cloud Master nodded slightly, accepting Qin Yushu's grand salute. "I have already heard from Zhang Yang that you have been helping them. From now on, help them properly and put your heart into it."

"Rest assured, Senior. This junior will certainly not disappoint your kindness," Qin Yushu replied sincerely.

Azure Cloud Master sighed. "What I mean is, if you help them wholeheartedly, you will certainly obtain enormous benefits in the Future. The successor I personally selected was not chosen casually. His achievements will certainly surpass mine in the Future."

Qin Yushu was somewhat shocked. He truly had not expected Azure Cloud Master to evaluate Zhang Yang so highly.

From the earlier transmission of the Dao, he had gained a direct understanding of Azure Cloud Master's strength and revered him as though he were a god.

Yet Azure Cloud Master said Zhang Yang would surpass him. Just how terrifying was Zhang Yang?

"Rest assured, Senior. Whether it is your grace in transmitting the Dao or Zhang Yang's grace in recommending me, I will remember both in my heart," Qin Yushu declared again.

Azure Cloud Master waved his hand. "Go!"

He had Qin Yushu leave.

Qin Yushu saluted once more and withdrew.

After leaving Azure Cloud Peak, he found Zhang Yang and said, "I'm returning to Qingyun Market to contemplate the mysteries of the Primordial Spirit Realm. However, I will not enter seclusion. If you need me for anything, just come find me."

"Thank you, Senior," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Qin Yushu also smiled. "I am of the same generation as your martial uncles, and this time I have received your favor and your master's guidance. There is no need for us to be so distant. I am quite a few years older than you. If you are willing, you may call me Uncle. If not, that is fine as well."

Zhang Yang went along with it. "Uncle Qin, what are you saying? You will become a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator sooner or later. If I don't take this chance to draw closer to you now, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity later."

"Haha!" Qin Yushu laughed heartily. "That may indeed be true for others, but for you, it may instead be I who am reaching above my station. All right, I'll return to Qingyun Market first."

"Take care, Uncle Qin!"

Zhang Yang watched Qin Yushu descend Azure Cloud Sect.
