Eight-Nine Arcane Arts

"Yep, it's me." A voice rang out from the starlight, brimming with secret delight.

Immediately afterward, Weaver Girl sprang straight out of the cluster of starlight and landed in front of Jiang Zhe, like a cheerful little rabbit.

"Why have you come again?" Looking at the girl before him, who seemed to be smiling forever, Jiang Zhe felt a headache coming on.

Was the boundary between heaven and earth really so vague? Could immortals and gods come down whenever they wanted?

"Heh heh heh, of course I came to settle the karma between us." As Weaver Girl spoke, she tossed two jade slips to Jiang Zhe.

"What are these?" The moment he saw the jade slips, Jiang Zhe's expression tightened, and he could scarcely conceal the excitement in his eyes.

"Didn't you say you needed a cultivation technique? Huh? How did the magic power in your body increase so quickly? It was only spiritual power just a moment ago, so how did you get through a lightning tribulation? The Thunder Department didn't even turn out just now." Weaver Girl's eyes widened as she stared at the change in Jiang Zhe in disbelief.

When they first met, Jiang Zhe had been handsome, but he had lacked that transcendent, otherworldly air.

Now, however, he was completely different. Not only did his body contain pure magic power, but he also seemed more noble in appearance.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the immortal and she was a country bumpkin.

Jiang Zhe clearly had no intention of answering Weaver Girl's question. Instead, he turned the conversation to the two jade slips in his hands.

"What techniques did you find for me?" As Jiang Zhe spoke, he poured magic power into one of them. The large characters "Fire Virtue Star Lord's insights" instantly appeared before his eyes.

"It's my older cousin's Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. I heard it was pretty impressive, and it took me ages to find it." When Jiang Zhe heard the words "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," he was so startled he nearly dropped the jade slip in his hand.

You could find this thing too?

It's more than just impressive!

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is a method for attaining physical sainthood.

An indestructible body, physical sainthood.

It was Yang Jian's primary cultivation technique! Moreover, eight multiplied by nine made seventy-two, so it came with seventy-two transformations.

At the same time, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts cultivated both nature and life, tempering the primordial spirit while cultivating the physical body. As such, one could simply ignore certain illusions and possession attempts.

It even nurtured a divine ability: Dharma Heaven and Earth!

This technique could be cultivated all the way to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

You could find this too?

Could it be that someone has set you up?

Jiang Zhe looked at Weaver Girl with a complicated expression, then could not help glancing up at the sky.

Could some grand old lord up there be watching me all the time?

Beneath the night sky, the stars shone.

At Jiang Zhe's current realm, he could not see what lay above the sky at all.

Looking at the other jade slip, Jiang Zhe felt a stirring in his heart.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts-such a great opportunity lay before him, and Jiang Zhe really could not bear to give it up.

Most importantly, the vast amount of magic power he had accumulated in his body had yet to be fully refined and put to use, precisely because he lacked a cultivation technique!

And this technique was a perfect match for him. The strength of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts lay in its cultivation of the physical body and primordial spirit; its only weakness was the soul.

But! Jiang Zhe's soul had fused with the primordial chaos creation divine lightning. As divine lightning with healing abilities, the primordial chaos creation divine lightning was a perfect match for a technique like the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, which specialized in cultivating the physical body.

What was more, cultivating the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts would greatly increase the body's ability to heal itself. Combined, the two would make him almost as good as immortal.

"Well? I have a good eye, don't I? I wasn't originally planning to pick Fire Virtue Star Lord's fire-using technique, but I saw the energy of flames in that battle on the back mountain, so I guessed you might have the ability to attack with fire. After thinking about it, I figured this would suit you too." Weaver Girl now explained the other jade slip.

"Did you pick these out yourself?" Jiang Zhe put the two jade slips away, then looked at Weaver Girl seriously.

"Ahem, who are you looking down on? Of course I picked them out myself. I spent almost three whole incense sticks' worth of time searching through a sea of books before I found the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. As for Fire Virtue Star Lord's fire control, it just happened to float in front of me by chance. I was wondering what would be best to bring you, but since it floated over, that meant it was fated."

"So I brought both of them to you," Weaver Girl said confidently. Then, seeing Jiang Zhe's serious expression, she suddenly began to look uneasy. "What's wrong? Don't you like them?"

"No, I like them very much. Thank you." Jiang Zhe nodded earnestly. After hearing Weaver Girl's answer, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Weaver Girl was probably the youngest of the Jade Emperor's seven daughters, not someone formed from the Weaver Girl Star.

For her to take the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts out from under the Jade Emperor's nose, she must have had his tacit approval, right?

Jiang Zhe looked up again. In a daze, he seemed to see a pair of eyes, like stars, watching him.

"Huh? What's that star next to yours?" The star-like eyes watching him were an illusion, but Jiang Zhe blinked and discovered that, at some point, a new star had appeared beside the Weaver Girl Star that had been guiding him all along.

"I don't know. Ever since I went back up after my bath, that star's kept drifting over. It's annoying as hell, and I can't chase it away." Weaver Girl pouted, sounding quite displeased. But the star only circled her Weaver Girl Star and did nothing else, so she didn't really mind.

"Speaking of which, weren't you going to Mount Hua? How did you end up on Flower-Fruit Mountain?" Coming back to her senses, Weaver Girl looked around and couldn't help sniffing the air. The fresh fragrance of the mortal world's air was something she could not experience in the Heavenly Court.
