Chapter 383 383: Chaos Blue Underworld Sword Scripture
In reality, Dingguang Xian had such thoughts only because he had misunderstood Tongtian Jiaozu.
At this point, Qingyi hadn't actually been taught any cultivation method by Tongtian Jiaozu. Of course, since Qingyi already possessed the Chaos Blue Underworld Sword Scripture, he didn't need to learn any other methods.
The Chaos Blue Underworld Sword Scripture was the most suitable method for Qingyi; what fits best is the best.
As for the Shangqing Xuanyuan True Scripture studied by Dingguang Xian and other second-generation disciples, it wasn't "bad" at all, as Dingguang Xian imagined.
One must realize this was a cultivation method taught by the Saint Tongtian Jiaozu to the second-generation disciples under his wing.
If you compared it internally within Jiejiao, then yes... every second-generation disciple had it.
But if you took it out to the Great Desolation continent and compared it with the cultivation methods of the ten thousand other races?
It was absolutely a peak-level cultivation method in the Great Desolation that could lead directly to the Great Dao!
More importantly, the compatibility of this peak-level method was truly maximized.
Regardless of your race or talent, anyone could learn the Shangqing Xuanyuan True Scripture. Even if your talent was poor, as long as you practiced diligently, you would always see results.
This was the method created by the Leader of Jiejiao, the Shangqing Saint, which contained the true essence of Jiejiao's teachings.
"The Great Dao has no beginning and the heavens lay out forty-nine; all things have a silver lining. Jiejiao upholds education without discrimination; anyone with a heart for the Dao may enter the teachings to grasp that one chance of life for all living beings."
Not only that, those with extraordinary talent could even use the Shangqing Xuanyuan True Scripture to understand a set of cultivation methods tailored specifically to their own path.
The four main official disciples of Jiejiao were all examples of this.
If not for the fear of offending a Saint, there's no telling how many powerful figures in the Great Desolation would have attacked Jiejiao disciples just for this scripture!
...
Tongtian Jiaozu's Dao recitation continued.
As time flowed, another three hundred years passed in a flash, and the sharp aura around Taoist Qingyi's body grew even stronger.
By now, Dingguang Xian felt as if he were sitting on a bed of needles. Never mind comprehending the Dao; every second spent in this place felt like pure torture...
There was no other reason; the truth was that this guy Qingyi was progressing far too fast!
Simply by listening to the Dao for four hundred years, his realm had continuously climbed from a fresh Heaven Immortal to the Perfection stage of the True Immortal realm.
This level had already caught up to him...
Pity poor Dingguang Xian, who had listened to his Master's recitation for over four hundred years, yet his own realm had hardly advanced.
This was all Taoist Qingyi's fault!
...
In fact, besides Dingguang Xian, several others were also being affected to some degree.
Fairy Qiongxiao, Lingya Xian, and Qiushou Xian were no different from Dingguang Xian; the four of them no longer had any way to focus their minds to comprehend the Dao.
Right then, Tongtian Jiaozu, who had been reciting, let out a resigned sigh.
"Qiongxiao, Lingya, Qiushou, Dingguang—the four of you, out! Return to your respective caves to cultivate."
"We respectfully obey Master's command!" The four of them rose from their mats and bowed to Tongtian Jiaozu before walking toward the exit of Biyou Palace together.
However, before Qiongxiao stood up, she shot a sharp glare at Qingyi, who had just snapped out of his state of comprehension.
Lingya, Qiushou, and Dingguang were fuming with anger, but in front of Tongtian Jiaozu, they didn't dare show even a sliver of it.
There was no choice. Taoist Qingyi was an official disciple and clearly a priority for their Master... the three of them weren't as bold as Qiongxiao.
Watching their retreating backs, Qingyi could only scratch his head helplessly. He didn't pay much mind to Qiongxiao's hostility.
He knew these four were being affected by him, but there was nothing he could do! Currently, he had no way to control the sharp aura that naturally radiated from his body.
For the sake of these cheap younger siblings, he couldn't exactly stop his own comprehension and cultivation while a Saint was reciting for him, right?
Although the Chaos Blue Underworld Sword Scripture was a method he created himself, unfortunately, when it was completed, the Heavenly Dao of the Great Desolation sensed the birth of the Sword Dao and automatically patched its flaws and raised its level...
Coupled with the fact that Qingyi hadn't been practicing the scripture for long, his aura couldn't be fully hidden yet—which was only human nature.
On this point alone, Dingguang Xian hadn't guessed wrong; the method Taoist Qingyi was practicing was indeed far stronger than his own.
...
While he didn't care about Qiongxiao's hostility, as someone who had just joined Jiejiao, Qingyi didn't want to cause conflict with his juniors.
Moreover, the Three Sanxiao Fairies and Zhao Gongming were always a package deal; offending one meant drawing the ire of all four. As a newcomer, Qingyi wanted to avoid that.
While Qiongxiao and the others were still near the door, Qingyi thought for a moment, then looked at Tongtian Jiaozu and spoke.
"Master, it is because I am unskilled in my studies that I am affecting my juniors. While I cultivate, could Master cover my aura slightly so that Junior Sister Qiongxiao and the others can return to finish listening to the Dao?"
As soon as Qingyi spoke, Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Bixiao, the four main disciples, and the remaining Attendant Immortals all looked at Qingyi with grateful eyes.
With just one sentence, Qingyi had instantly gained everyone's favor.
After all, besides those four, the others were also feeling the influence to some degree. If Master stepped in, they could all comprehend the Dao more clearly.
Furthermore, the Jiejiao disciples were still quite united at this stage, so they naturally hoped Qiongxiao and the others could come back.
As for Qiongxiao and the rest, who hadn't even left the palace gates yet, they stopped in their tracks upon hearing Qingyi's words, turning back to look at Tongtian Jiaozu with hope in their eyes.
This was no joke! This was a recitation from a Saint!
Did they think Tongtian Jiaozu was just sitting around with nothing to do?
Even though the four of them were among the elite Jiejiao disciples, it was rare for Tongtian Jiaozu to give them such specialized instruction.
Look at the four main official disciples; they had already reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, yet they were still listening with absolute focus.
But to their disappointment, Tongtian Jiaozu simply shook his head.
"Qiongxiao, did the sharp aura around Qingyi make it impossible for you to enter a state of comprehension?"
"But the cultivation of Pilu and Jinguang isn't any higher than yours, is it? Why can they still endure?"
"Besides, I am right here. What is there to worry about? In the end, it is because your heart for the Dao is not firm enough."
After saying this, Tongtian Jiaozu flicked his sleeve, sending Qiongxiao and the other three flying back to their respective caves. He then spoke.
"The rest of you, continue listening. Do not be moved by external things. Qingyi, you need to further settle yourself; do not enter the Xuan Immortal level until you can hide your own aura."
Qingyi and the gathered Jiejiao disciples responded, "We respectfully obey Master's teachings..."
