Chapter 778: The Generous Zhunti
As a personal disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, Shen Gongbao is qualified to learn the various immortal techniques and Secret Techniques of the Chan Sect.
Even if he had never come into contact with the "Eight-Nine Profound Art," he could still go to Yuxu Palace to obtain the cultivation method.
Shen Gongbao smiled readily: "Fellow Daoist Yang is too polite. The 'Eight-Nine Profound Art' was passed down from the Dao Ancestor and is widely circulated throughout the Honghuang; it is not some unique, secret skill. If he were to ask, this poor Daoist would certainly offer it with both hands."
A mere "Eight-Nine Profound Art"—if it could help him befriend a Peak Golden Immortal like Yang Daoren, he would naturally not be stingy.
Yin Qi smiled: "Then this Great King will thank the National Teacher on behalf of National Teacher Yang. How about this: I will grant the National Teacher ten million points of Martial Hall merit, so that if there is anything needed, the National Teacher may go to the Martial Hall to exchange for it."
"Then I thank the Great King."
As Shen Gongbao spoke, he took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Yin Qi, saying: "Great King, this Jade Slip is the 'Eight-Nine Profound Art,' though it only contains the cultivation methods for the first six turns."
Yin Qi took the Jade Slip and frowned inwardly: "This Great King has heard that this 'Eight-Nine Profound Art' has nine turns, does it not?"
Shen Gongbao nodded and said: "This 'Eight-Nine Profound Art' indeed has nine turns: the first turn is Human Immortal, the second turn is Earth Immortal, the third turn is Heavenly Immortal, the fourth turn is Mysterious Immortal, the fifth turn is Golden Immortal, the sixth turn is Great Luo, the seventh turn is Quasi-Saint, the eighth turn is Saint, and the ninth turn is Pangu."
The peak of the sixth turn is the Peak Great Luo.
Anything further up is the seventh turn, the Quasi-Saint.
As far as this poor Daoist knows, the "Eight-Nine Profound Art" below the seventh turn is widely circulated throughout the Honghuang.
But the seventh turn and above are known only to the various Saints, as well as top-tier great supernatural beings like Zhenyuanzi, Minghe, and Kunpeng.
In the Scripture Library of Yuxu Palace, the "Eight-Nine Profound Art" also only goes up to the sixth turn.
If one wants the cultivation method for the seventh turn and above, one must apply to the Master."
"I see."
Yin Qi sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, when it comes to cultivation methods above the Quasi-Saint level, they are not so easily obtained.
Wait, hold on...
Yin Qi suddenly realized that he could ask Zhunti Daoren.
He is now the 'prospective' Vice Sect Leader of the future Fo sect; asking Zhunti Daoren for the complete "Eight-Nine Profound Art" is very reasonable, right?
Thinking of this, Yin Qi put away the Jade Slip and said: "National Teacher, National Teacher Yang has matters to attend to abroad; for the time being, please go to Sishui Pass to hold the fort. Before the Xiqi army arrives at the foot of Sishui Pass, National Teacher Yang will arrive."
"Yes, Great King."
Shen Gongbao agreed.
After Shen Gongbao left, Yin Qi took out the 'Yang Shen' Mobile Phone and sent a WeChat message to Zhunti Daoren:
Yang Shen: Sect Leader.
Zhunti: What is the matter?
Yang Shen: This disciple wishes to cultivate the "Eight-Nine Profound Art" to seek an opportunity to break through to Great Luo; may I ask the Sect Leader to bestow the complete cultivation method? In addition, this disciple is quite interested in Array Formation and Alchemy.
Zhunti: You may.
A moment later, three files were sent over.
Zhunti: This poor Daoist has already joined forces with my Senior Brother to transmit the refining methods for hundreds of millions of Mobile Phones to all parts of the Honghuang. When do you think it would be appropriate for us to change our name, and when should we start live streaming?
Yang Shen: Once the Sect Leader starts live streaming, the Three Pure Ones will certainly follow suit in a timely manner. Therefore, this disciple believes we can wait a few more years until Mobile Phones are more popularized. As for when to change the name, it is entirely up to the two Sect Leaders.
Zhunti: This poor Daoist has already popularized Mobile Phones within the sect. Starting tomorrow, all disciples will post videos on TikTok and discuss the Dao on the Great Dao Forum. You should put in more effort to see if there is anything that needs correction.
Yang Shen: Very well, Sect Leader.
After ending the chat, Yin Qi opened the three files, which were "Eight-Nine Profound Art," "Alchemy Compendium," and "Array Compendium." He first had the Immortal Spirit extract the information, and then had the Immortal Spirit instill it into his mind.
The complete "Eight-Nine Profound Art."
It was in his hands.
Yin Qi's consciousness quickly integrated all the information.
The seventh turn of the "Eight-Nine Profound Art," in addition to refining the physical body, focuses on cultivating the seven chakras: the Crown Chakra, Brow Chakra, Throat Chakra, Heart Chakra, Navel Chakra, Sacral Chakra, and Root Chakra; these seven chakras are where the seven souls reside.
And the seven souls are the foundation of the physical body. As for the eighth turn, which is the Saint realm, it involves cultivating the Purple Mansion, also known as the Mud-Pill Palace, where the divine soul resides.
The final ninth turn has no specific cultivation method; it only has one sentence: that is, to open up a world within Chaos; if successful, one becomes Pangu, and if one dies, one's body transforms into a world.
Nine turns, nine turns—this is an extreme number, an extreme number that cannot be reached.
After all, even the Hongjun Daozu who created the "Eight-Nine Profound Art" could not reach the realm of Pangu.
Although he has merged with the Heavenly Dao, in essence, he is still at the Saint realm.
As a Saint, although Zhunti Daoren is not skilled in Alchemy and Array Formation, that is only when compared to the Three Pure Ones.
Whether it is the "Alchemy Compendium" or the "Array Compendium," the content is incomparably rich, and the Inheritance is very complete; the "Alchemy Compendium" even contains Great Luo-level Pills.
However, peerless Divine Pills like the Eight-Turn Golden Pill are not in the "Alchemy Compendium."
As for Quasi-Saint-level Pills.
Looking across the Honghuang, perhaps only Laozi knows how to refine them.
Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... shu.... com....!
The "Array Compendium" Inheritance is equally complete, with complex content, including even the incomplete Zhou Tian Star Formation and the incomplete Du Tian Shensha Array, as well as the Western unique skill, the Sumeru Array.
The Honghuang has four great supreme arrays: the Zhou Tian Star Formation, the Du Tian Shensha Array, the Immortal Execution Sword Array, and the Twofold Micro-Dust Array.
Although the Sumeru Array cannot compare to these four supreme arrays, it is second only to them.
The incomplete Zhou Tian Star Formation and Du Tian Shensha Array were both secretly learned by Zhunti Daoren.
Logically speaking, Zhunti Daoren should not easily pass on such bottom-of-the-box Array Formation Secret Techniques to others.
But Zhunti Daoren is too confident, confident that even if Yin Qi had ulterior motives, he could still be subdued.
Furthermore, Yin Qi has been offering strategies for the Western Sect, and his understanding of Buddhist principles is second only to him and his Senior Brother, so he naturally assumed that Yin Qi truly yearns for the Western Sect; otherwise, it would be impossible to study Buddhist principles so diligently.
For his own people, Zhunti Daoren is still very generous.
"A good person indeed."
Yin Qi praised.
It is just a pity that he will ultimately have to let Zhunti Daoren down.
He certainly cannot become the future co-leader of Buddhism; his fate in "Yang Shen" will eventually be the same as in "Shrouding the Heavens"—faking his death to escape like a cicada shedding its skin.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Yin Qi left behind a Clone and tore through space to arrive at Wuyi Mountain.
Erxian Ridge.
The Top of the peak.
Having successfully passed through the Innate Great Array, Yin Qi entered the tea garden.
After an interval of eight years, the hundreds of tea trees had once again sprouted a new batch of buds, and even the Enlightenment Tea Tree had grown quite a few new Leaf. Yin Qi harvested all the new tea and preserved it well in jade boxes.
Afterwards, he broke off a branch from the Enlightenment Tea Tree and planted it in his Inner Heaven and Earth.
In less than an hour, it transformed from a small branch into an Enlightenment Tea Tree over twenty meters tall; every Leaf looked as if it were naturally carved, with textures upon them resembling the weaving of the Great Dao, emitting a truly enchanting fragrance.
Yin Qi was delighted, and subsequently broke off branches from the other hundreds of tea trees, planting a tea garden in his Inner Heaven and Earth with the Enlightenment Tea Tree at its center.
"In the future, when I go to Wuzhuang Temple, I will find a way to get a branch of the Ginseng Fruit. And Flat Peach seeds. Right, I should ask Xuanxuan; she might still have Flat Peach seeds on her."
"Even if she doesn't, I can find a way to get them from the Heavenly Court."
Yin Qi suddenly realized.
The number of Innate Spiritual Root is limited, so even if one has Flat Peach seeds, it is impossible to grow a Flat Peach tree.
However, one could still grow top-tier Immortal Peach.
Like the Immortal Peach of Qingluan Douque, which were grown from Flat Peach seeds. (End of chapter)
