Studying the Hunyuan Scripture

Chapter 267 Studying the Hunyuan Scripture

“I withstood forty-three bolts of heavenly lightning, one more than Zhao Zhen.”

Shen Yue took a deep breath and said seriously that although Li Qingqiu was even more pretentious than him, he had to make this matter clear and not let it be buried.

Li Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and looked Shen Yue up and down, increasingly feeling that this old man was no ordinary person.

Judging from his personal profile, Shen Yue is not as good as Zhao Zhen. He started cultivating immortality later, but once he started, his momentum was the strongest.

Li Qingqiu exclaimed sincerely, "Shen Yue, you are truly amazing. You are indeed the second best person in the sect that I have always considered. I have always felt that you are my only rival."

Shen Yue was overjoyed to hear these words, but he remained expressionless. He scoffed, "You've probably said that to many people."

"Not everyone can bear these words. Think about it carefully, if I said these words to others, how many people would believe me?"

Li Qingqiu countered with a serious expression, his eyes fixed on Shen Yue.

Shen Yue's lips curled up, but he still restrained himself and said, "I'm not a little kid, I won't be fooled by you. The reason I'm telling you these things today is to let you know that if the sect has any important missions in the future, you can consider me. It's time for this old bone of mine to get moving."

So proactive?

Li Qingqiu's intuition told him that Shen Yue was aiming for the Ten True Monarchs.

The selection of the Ten True Lords is not only based on strength, but also on their contributions to the sect.

Of course, even if he saw through this, he couldn't say it. This was a basic quality of a sect leader, and he couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of his disciples for making positive contributions.

Li Qingqiu pondered and said, "I just sent my third junior brother down the mountain to exterminate ghosts and monsters a while ago. There are no major tasks for you to do for the time being. If you want to do something, why not focus on cultivating the disciples of the Sword Sect?"

Upon hearing that Jiang Zhaoxia had come down the mountain, Shen Yue raised an eyebrow and immediately replied, "Alright, then I will teach the Sword Sect disciples well and strive to make them stronger than the Eighth Hall disciples."

After saying this, he stood up, bowed to Li Qingqiu, and then turned and left.

"I haven't even had my tea yet!"

"I'm not drinking anymore. I'll drink it next time I come."

Watching Shen Yue's retreating figure, Li Qingqiu pouted. "Would I like to have tea again next time I come?"
Nobody would give you that kind of attention!
Once the stone door to the cave closed again, a smile appeared on Li Qingqiu's face.

The sect gaining another cultivator at the Spirit Consciousness Realm is a great joy.

Although Qingxiao Sect is not in immediate danger, Ghost King Ridge and the demon lands further north remain potential threats. We cannot wait until a formidable enemy is at hand before forcing the sect's disciples to become stronger.

Li Qingqiu hopes that the Ten True Monarchs in ten years will all be at the Spirit Consciousness Realm, and that the Spirit Consciousness Realm will become the core combat force of the Qingxiao Sect.

……

Shen Yue's successful tribulation and entry into the Spiritual Consciousness Realm shook the sect and inspired all the disciples.

Speaking of Shen Yue, he is also a legendary figure. His story can inspire disciples. When he joined Qingxiao Sect, he was already quite old. It was thought that he would be constantly surpassed by the disciples of Qingxiao Sect, but this was not the case. He actually showed a faster cultivation speed than young geniuses.

While the disciples were amazed by Shen Yue's remarkable abilities, they were also looking forward to seeing who would be the next Spirit Consciousness Realm cultivator.

In late autumn, the Taikun Mountains are covered in withered yellow leaves, presenting a different kind of beauty.

On the cliff.

Li Qingqiu was practicing his swordplay on the edge of the cliff, while Jinlang was practicing his knife skills at his feet.

Yun Cai, the three Xiao brothers, Hu Yan, Li Shouzhen, and Li Shoumin were all meditating and practicing their skills on the hillside behind them.

While practicing his swordsmanship, Li Qingqiu pondered the Three Immortal Swords.

This supernatural power helped him slay the Great Demon Luo, which pleased him greatly. He decided to continue pushing forward, as he, possessing the [Thousand Refinements] destiny, would not waste his efforts.

Sudden.

Yun Cai came up behind Li Qingqiu and said, "Sect Master, I have something I would like to ask you."

Li Qingqiu said without turning his head, "You speak."

“I’ve discovered that while the Hunyuan Scripture doesn’t have any particularly strong aspects, it can encompass various types of Yuan Qi, and the Yuan Qi cultivated from the Hunyuan Scripture is the purest. The cultivation methods I created myself cannot compare to the Hunyuan Scripture.” Yun Cai said, frowning as she spoke.

When practicing the Hunyuan Scripture, you won't feel anything very obvious, but once you practice other techniques, you'll notice a significant difference.

"Nonsense, how could the cultivation techniques I teach you be inferior? The Hunyuan Scripture is the foundation of the Qingxiao Sect, and this will never change, no matter how much time passes."

Li Qingqiu casually replied that in his heart, the Hunyuan Scripture was the most perfect cultivation method.

The Hunyuan Scripture does not come with any spells or special energy in its early stages, but it can lay the most solid foundation.

Furthermore, he discovered that it seemed that no matter how poor one's aptitude was, as long as one continued to cultivate the Hunyuan Scripture, one could always cultivate primordial energy. This was terrifying, and he believed that the immortal cultivation sects in the Azure Dragon Domain did not have such a technique.

The original name of the Hunyuan Scripture is not these three characters, but the Taiqing Hunyuan Scripture.

As one's cultivation level continues to rise, the Taiqing Hunyuan Scripture becomes increasingly complex. For example, every time Li Qingqiu breaks through a minor realm, he has to spend time digesting the new level of the mental cultivation method.

"Could the Hunyuan Scripture be the most powerful cultivation technique?" Yun Cai pressed.

"Perhaps. But how does knowing this affect you? Aren't you cultivating the Hunyuan Scripture?" Li Qingqiu countered.

“I plan to study the Hunyuan Scripture. Perhaps I can comprehend magic through this technique. Sect Master, what do you think?” Yun Cai asked earnestly.

As she has cultivated for so long, she has gradually discovered that her comprehension is extraordinary. Perhaps when she first started, her comprehension was not as good as other geniuses, but as long as she perseveres, her gains are unmatched by others.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqiu stopped what he was doing.

Should the "Thousand Hammers and Hundred Refinements" technique be applied to the Hunyuan Scripture?
Li Qingqiu glanced at Yun Cai and felt that this girl had found a path with immeasurable potential. "You can give it a try," Li Qingqiu said softly with a smile.

Yun Cai nodded, raised her hand in greeting, and then went back to continue practicing her skills.

Next year will be the second martial arts tournament, and all the young disciples of the sect are holding their breath, Yun Cai being one of them.

Yun Cai is now at the seventh level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm. In the first Battle Tournament, she would have had a chance to compete with Xu Ning. However, in the second tournament, Li Qingqiu is unsure how far she can go.

Currently, the sect has twenty disciples who have reached the seventh level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm. Many of them are geniuses cultivated by aristocratic families with concentrated resources, and their competitiveness should not be underestimated.

In addition, five disciples have reached the eighth level, and these five will undoubtedly be a force to be reckoned with in the martial arts tournament.

Thinking of this, Li Qingqiu also began to look forward to next year's magical duel.

at the same time.

On the cliff behind the Sword Sect, Shen Yue was instructing Jian Du on his cultivation.

Jian Du sat on the edge of the cliff, his sword intent emanating spontaneously, his black hair fluttering in the wind.

"By the time the martial arts tournament begins, your cultivation will at most reach the eighth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm. This does not guarantee that you will win first place. The only thing you can trust is your sword intent. Your sword intent is unique. It is a power you were born with. It still has many untapped strengths. You need to think carefully now about how to bring your sword intent to its fullest potential."

Shen Yue stood behind Jian Du and spoke softly, his hands behind his back, exuding the aura of a sword god.

Although Jian Du is Jiang Zhaoxia's disciple, he is also the number one genius of the Sword Sect. Shen Yue hopes that he can bring glory to the Sword Sect in the Tournament of Combat. If he wants to bring glory, a top ten ranking is not enough.

Although Jian Du did not answer, his sword intent was clearly stronger.

Following Shen Yue's guidance, he established a closer connection with his own sword intent, attempting to allow his consciousness to enter the sword intent itself.

Not only Jian Du, but also Yuan Li, Ji Ya, Zhang Ping, Lu Qing, Han Lang, Gu Changping, Zhu Xunyang and others are actively preparing for the battle.

Apart from the top three from the previous tournament, all the previous top ten disciples wanted to prove themselves again.

Their presence also put pressure on the geniuses who had never participated in the martial arts tournament, after all, the difference in years of cultivation was not negligible.

Days passed.

As autumn fades into winter, Qingxiao Sect is about to embark on a major event.

Emperor Liu Jing will offer sacrifices to Heaven halfway up Qingxiao Mountain and simultaneously establish the new era name of the dynasty. This will be a momentous event of the world. Xunxian Town at the foot of the mountain has become crowded, with noble families and high-ranking officials from all over the country flocking there to witness this moment that will be recorded in history.

Li Qingqiu did not interfere in this matter, but let Zhang Yuchun liaise with people in the court. This was exactly what he liked, as he could experience the wonderful taste of power.

Snow-covered landscape.

Bai Yutian stood at the edge of the woods, gazing at the martial arts arena in the distance. Two disciples were engaged in a fierce battle on the arena, with two or three hundred spectators gathered below.

"That's amazing..."

Bai Yutian stared wide-eyed at the two disciples' spells, his mouth unconsciously agape.

These two disciples weren't particularly famous, but the strength they displayed amazed Bai Yutian. He felt that everyone in Fengxia Mountain combined wouldn't be a match for them.

"This Qingxiao Sect is indeed extraordinary. These disciples not only absorb Qi, but also cultivate magic. They can even use magic artifacts. It's hard to imagine that Qingxiao Sect has embarked on the path of cultivation in less than twenty years."

The voice of the Black Hand rang in Bai Yutian's ears, filled with emotion.

"Xiao Hei, I've noticed that your opinion of Qingxiao Sect is getting higher and higher."

Bai Yutian chuckled softly, his tone full of teasing.

“I came here precisely because I was curious about the Qingxiao Sect,” Black Hand replied.

So what exactly is your purpose?

Bai Yutian couldn't help but ask again. Black Hand was too mysterious. From his appearance, he looked like a demon or monster, but after spending time with him, he felt that Black Hand was a normal person.

Perhaps there were unavoidable reasons that led to its current predicament.

"The less you know, the better it is for you. Your sect leader is proficient in ghost magic and may be able to search your soul and probe your memories. If you know my origins, you will be guilty and unable to clear your name."

Black Hand replied casually, his tone slightly languid.

Bai Yutian curled his lip, thinking that Black Hand was right, so he turned his attention back to the martial arts arena.

Just as he was about to leave after the duel ended, he heard a cry of surprise.

"Senior Sister Yun Cai is here!"

Clouds!

She is a top genius personally cultivated by the sect leader, and it is said that she has never been defeated in the same realm.

Bai Yutian became intensely curious about the clouds and followed them with his gaze.

Soon, his gaze settled on Yun Cai, watching her walk onto the stage.

Sudden.

Yun Cai turned her head and actually focused her gaze on Bai Yutian. Their eyes met across the distance, causing his heart to tremble.
