Act with a benevolent heart, perform chivalrous deeds, and uphold the righteous spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third rule: Respect the teacher and uphold the Dao, unity, and friendship\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Respecting the teacher and upholding the Dao is the foundation of the sect; unity and friendship are the source for revitalizing the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teacher imparts the Dao and resolves confusion; disciples should respect and follow them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among fellow disciples, help each other, progress hand in hand, and forge the sect's glory together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reciting these three sect rules slowly, Qi Xiu slightly tilted his head and gave Bai Qingfeng a thumbs-up, to which the latter responded with a helpless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he is the Supreme Sect Leader of the Primordial Sect and the founding ancestor of the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it's his first time handling the duties of a Sect Leader, and he is truly unfamiliar with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, many of the trivial matters within the sect are handled by Bai Qingfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He provided the core essence of these three sect rules, while Bai Qingfeng completed the specific refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the sect rules recited by Qi Xiu, Xiahou Shan's expression turned solemn, and he responded in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The words of the Sect Leader are engraved in the disciple's heart; if ever violated, the Dao Heart shall shatter and lead to demise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, your awareness is commendable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, there is one more thing you must understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our Primordial Method differs from other Daoist inheritances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dharma Gate practiced was personally created by me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, anyone practicing our Grand Primordial Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this life, can never surpass me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means in your lifetime, you can only learn from me, become me, but can never surpass me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would you still wish to tread such a Dao path?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a steady gaze fixed on Xiahou Shan, Qi Xiu revealed the greatest limitation of the Primordial Lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the \"Primordial True Scripture of Ten Thousand Generations\" involves borrowed cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the source of the Dharma Gate for all cultivators of the Primordial Lineage is him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This leads to the situation where, even if a disciple possesses talent and wisdom vastly surpassing his, they cannot surpass him as the origin ancestor and achieve a higher accomplishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am willing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Qi Xiu's surprise, Xiahou Shan, who he expected would deliberate and ponder, didn't hesitate at all, agreeing directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not going to reconsider?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Shan's straightforwardness made Qi Xiu feel that he hadn't thought it through carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect Leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Bai Qingfeng, standing beside Qi Xiu, suddenly spoke, smiling gently as he slowly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Becoming you, for people like us, is already the ultimate glory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon Bai Qingfeng's remark, Qi Xiu's expression changed abruptly, then he smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, indeed, I misunderstood myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunyuan Myriad Laws True Monarch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first True Monarch of the contemporary Human Race!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also, in the recorded history of the Human Race, the True Monarch with the most illustrious battle achievements!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primordial Spirit Realm, elusive and intangible, is unattainable for ninety-nine percent of cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, if one could become a True Monarch of the Dao Body like Qi Xiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would make any cultivator feel content in this lifetime!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xiahou Shan's determination set, Qi Xiu was also quite pleased with this successor possessing an Innate Taoist Body and a resolute Dao Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, following Bai Qingfeng, Xiahou Shan formally entered under his tutelage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bear with it a bit, it's not painful, but there will be some discomfort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having accepted Xiahou Shan, Qi Xiu then rose and approached him, placing a hand on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To enter the Primordial Method, one must dissolve their entire cultivation, and this statement was not meant to frighten Xiahou Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to him, the genuine [Primordial Chaos].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other cultivators practicing the Primordial Technique all must allow themselves to \"reset\" to zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disadvantage of borrowing methods for cultivation is that it may create conflict with the skills originally cultivated by the cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two forces meet, at worst it can seriously injure, at worst it can lead to death and the dissolution of one's Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also why Qi Xiu personally selected one hundred first generation disciples, as his intention was to choose a group of sincere souls, untainted by worldly affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, they can avoid the pain of transformation and shape their character and spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For cultivators like Xiahou Shan, who already possess cultivation and are not weak, Qi Xiu must personally eliminate the cultivation within their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have already left the Shenxiao Sect, although the Eastern Sect Leader is benevolent and did not abolish your Thunder Magic, it ultimately cannot stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I will eliminate the cultivation within your body, and although you will temporarily become a mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with your aptitude of an Innate Taoist Body, once you start practicing the Grand Primordial Technique, your cultivation progress will be faster than your cultivation of Thunder Magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Qi Xiu's five fingers on his right hand began to emit a vast colorful intent upon pressing against Xiahou Shan's forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Primordial Qi surged into Xiahou Shan's body from his Heavenly Spirit Acupoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Shan felt as if a mighty torrent had surged into his body, sweeping away all the cultivation he had painstakingly nurtured, and an indescribable weakness and fatigue gradually grew within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile outside, at this moment Xiahou Shan's seven apertures were all spewing colorful intent outwards, and the purest Thunder Light was forcefully expelled from his entire body through forty-eight million pores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process of transformation was not long; in less than a quarter of an hour, Qi Xiu released his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Shan, seemingly drained of all his strength, struggled to hold himself upright, with steam rising from his entire body as if he had just crawled out of boiling water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the biggest change was the cloud pattern birthmark on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This birthmark, transformed from an Innate Dao Pattern, as Xiahou Shan's cultivation gradually progressed, had already turned pale red; upon achieving the Dao Body, this mark would completely disappear, allowing him to perfectly master the intricacies of an Innate Taoist Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that his cultivation has been transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After decades of hard work, Xiahou Shan returned to square one overnight, his pale red birthmark reverting to its original bright red, strikingly conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xiahou Shan, who was strongly enduring discomfort, his body slightly trembling, Qi Xiu shook his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the reason he previously hesitated to accept the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although transforming cultivation does not inflict pain on the flesh, the sensation of gradually stripping away one's cultivation feels like continuously being disconnected from one's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The growing and increasingly intense sense of emptiness can create a completely different mental discomfort than physical pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If unbearable, it may even cause irreversible mental trauma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this child seems to be enduring... Noticing Xiahou Shan's gradually calming expression, Qi Xiu nodded slightly, then retrieved the \"Primordial True Scripture\" from his chest and handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the 'Primordial True Scripture' of our sect; go back and study it first. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask your senior disciple Qingfeng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving the True Scripture volume handed over by Qi Xiu, a hint of joy unconsciously surfaced on Xiahou Shan's weak, pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, go back and rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting Bai Qingfeng take the weak Xiahou Shan to rest, Qi Xiu remained alone in the Sect Master Hall; moments later, he slowly formed a spell with his fingers and lightly exhaled a mouthful of colorful cloud mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, External Incarnations emerged from the cloud mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear fellow Daoists, the task of searching for first generation disciples now rests on your shoulders.\" Raising his hand, he cupped his hand to the External Incarnations and spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need for courtesy, fellow Daoist; we are of the same origin, and we will naturally devote ourselves fully to finding suitable candidates as soon as possible.\" With a gentle reply, the hundred External Incarnations transformed into rainbows and vanished in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silence that stirs the heart spreads across the vast darkness of the Outside the Domain starry sky, which feels like an endless abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive, somber Shadow Realm, like a black hole devouring all light, is rapidly closing in on the Tianyuan Main Realm at a speed that instills fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Shadow World seems like a cosmic nightmare, its contours blurred and eerie, emitting a darkness that makes souls tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless beings nestled within this Shadow World hide in the darkness, revealing only their pairs of blood-red eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These blood-red eyes flicker with the glows of greed and madness, like the burning flames of hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fixate on the distant Tianyuan Main Realm, filled with longing and desire for the new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every gaze is akin to a sharp blade, seemingly aiming to slice the Tianyuan Main Realm into fragments and ravenously consume everything within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starlight around the Shadow World appears twisted by its darkness, the light of the stars seeming so weak and powerless by comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Calamity commenced, with the Heavenly Dao self-bound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lacking the protection of the Heavenly Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first All Heavens Alien Species!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has descended!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1572,"2026-06-06T02:28:33.654Z",1,"novelbin.me","56937bb744e38545d8faff8762d952bc0fd5d7477540797256eab4da22ca6361","slaying-demons-starting-with-upgrading-my-callig-chapter-822","slaying-demons-starting-with-upgrading-my-callig-chapter-820",834,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fslaying-demons-starting-with-upgrading-my-callig-cover.jpg"]
