Cultivation! Taiji Xuanqing Dao Mastered in One Night!

After Song Daren pulled Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan out of Shoujing Hall, they immediately let out sighs of relief as though they had narrowly escaped disaster.

Seeing this scene,

Ji Changfeng felt slightly surprised.

Was she really that terrifying?

Honestly.

A beauty on the level of Mistress Su Ru would probably have had countless people in his previous life crying and begging, "Big sis, hit me."

Sigh~

Senior Brother Daren.

You really didn't know how lucky you were...

Song Daren brought Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan to a quiet little courtyard.

Song Daren said with a smile, "Junior Brothers, Dazhu Peak may not have many people, but having fewer people has its advantages. For example, there are more than enough courtyards here for everyone to have one of their own."

Ji Changfeng nodded in agreement.

That was indeed true.

Just think of Shang Zhengliang, the Peak Master of Chaoyang Peak. He had more than four hundred disciples under him, so they probably had to squeeze several people into each courtyard for food, clothing, housing, and travel.

It would hardly be peaceful or comfortable.

Song Daren continued, "Junior Brothers, in a moment, each of you may choose a courtyard you like and settle in."

"Yes, Senior Brother." Ji Changfeng nodded.

Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly echoed his assent.

"Cough, cough..." Song Daren cleared his throat. His expression then turned stern, and he spoke in a rather solemn tone:

"Junior Brothers, I will now teach you the sect rules and precepts, as well as our sect's core Daoist art—Taiji Xuanqing Dao!"

"The foremost rule of our sect is to respect one's master and honor the Dao..."

Ji Changfeng listened attentively.

Beside him, Zhang Xiaofan also tried his best to memorize the sect rules and precepts Song Daren recited.

A few minutes later.

"Junior Brothers, Qingyun Sect has a total of twelve sect rules and twenty-four precepts. Have you remembered them all?" Song Daren asked.

"We have, Senior Brother," Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan answered in unison.

Whether they had truly remembered them or not, the sect rules and precepts were basically just things like slaying demons, exterminating evil, respecting one's master, and honoring the Dao.

What Ji Changfeng was looking forward to most now was Taiji Xuanqing Dao!

"Good." Song Daren nodded slightly and continued, "Next, I will teach you our sect's core cultivation art—Taiji Xuanqing Dao!"

As he said this, Song Daren's expression grew even more solemn.

"Junior Brothers, our sect's Daoist art is immensely profound, and those of the demonic and heterodox paths covet it greatly. You two must swear an oath that you will not pass our sect's Daoist art on to outsiders!"

Hearing this, Ji Changfeng immediately swore the oath without hesitation.

Zhang Xiaofan also made a venomous vow with a nervous expression.

"Good." Song Daren's expression softened slightly.

He then recited passages of exceedingly profound incantations. This was Qingyun Sect's core Daoist art—the first level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao!

Taiji Xuanqing Dao had three major realms.

They were the Jade Purity, Upper Clarity, and Supreme Purity Realms.

Each realm was further divided into nine levels.

Experts of both the righteous and demonic paths were generally in the Upper Clarity Realm, while some elite disciples were in the Jade Purity Realm.

As for the Grand Purity Realm?!

Legend had it that only Qingyun Sect's patriarch, True Master Qingye, had ever set foot in that domain.

Other than True Master Qingye,

no one afterward had ever entered the Grand Purity Realm.

Yet Ji Changfeng knew that Qingyun Sect's current leader, True Master Daoxuan, had actually entered the Grand Purity Realm long ago without anyone noticing.

He had become the foremost figure of the Daoist path.

Moreover, in little more than a decade, Yun Yilan, the Valley Master of Incense Valley, would also step into that realm.

But unfortunately, by then,

the entire Vast Divine Land would be on the verge of falling into crisis.

Song Daren recited the incantations for the first level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao three or four times in succession.

Then, he looked at Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan and asked, "Junior Brothers, have you remembered them?"

"I have." Ji Changfeng nodded lightly.

Zhang Xiaofan, on the other hand, said with some difficulty, "S-Senior Brother, I remembered them too."

In truth, Ji Changfeng had already committed the incantations for the first level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao completely to memory when Song Daren finished reciting them the first time.

If Song Daren had not still been present,

he would have wanted to begin cultivating immediately.

"Good." Song Daren stood up and said, "Since you have both remembered them, I won't disturb you any longer."

"It is already late. Rest well. Remember to get up early tomorrow morning for your daily training..."

The so-called daily training was actually cutting bamboo.

But the bamboo on Dazhu Peak was no ordinary bamboo. It was a special kind called Black-Joint Bamboo, and it was extremely hard.

Having newly initiated disciples cut this Black-Joint Bamboo

could temper their bodies.

After Song Daren left, Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan each chose a courtyard and moved in.

Zhang Xiaofan chose one near Shoujing Hall, while Ji Changfeng chose one farther away, where it would be even quieter...

Upon returning to his own small courtyard,

Ji Changfeng immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and excitedly began his first cultivation session.

He silently recited the incantations for the first level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao while assuming the five-centers-facing-heaven posture, quietly sensing the spiritual energy of legend.

Whoosh—

In just a short while,

Ji Changfeng experienced a peculiar sensation.

Somehow, he seemed to see the spiritual energy hidden in the air, and he tried his best to draw it toward himself...

In the end,

Ji Changfeng successfully absorbed a wisp of spiritual energy into his body.

He completed his first cultivation session.

You attempted to cultivate Taiji Xuanqing Dao for the first time, comprehended some of its flaws, and successfully improved Taiji Xuanqing Dao...

At that moment, his Heaven-Defying Comprehension triggered!

Ji Changfeng instantly understood certain things.

The first level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao has this many flaws?!

Ji Changfeng tried cultivating the improved version of Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

Whoosh—

The next moment,

even more spiritual energy surged into his body.

Ji Changfeng swiftly circulated the cultivation art. After cultivating through thirty-six consecutive Grand Heavenly Cycles, he completely transformed the spiritual energy within his body into his own magical power.

"Whew..."

Ji Changfeng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. A trace of surprise appeared in his eyes as he muttered to himself:

"Thirty-six Grand Heavenly Cycles?"

"So I've already mastered Taiji Xuanqing Dao and entered the first level of the Jade Purity Realm?!"

One night!

He had mastered Taiji Xuanqing Dao in one night!

What kind of concept was that?

If word got out, the entire Qingyun Sect would probably be shaken!

One had to know,

an ordinary person normally needed at least three months to master the first level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

An average genius would likely need one or two months.

Yet Ji Changfeng had spent only one night?

Not even a full night?

Ji Changfeng glanced at the sky, which had yet to brighten.

He continued cultivating.

Although he had already mastered the first level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao and could directly begin cultivating the second level, he did not have the subsequent cultivation art...

So he could only continue cultivating the first level.
