Chapter 419 - Birth of Xuan Yuan (1/2)
What appeared before their eyes were the Swords Gate sculptures, one after another. The first one was 16 feet tall, and by just briefly looking at it, the elders could immediately visualize a Swords Gate appearing inside of their psyche ocean. It felt like as if their souls were trying to leap out of their bodies!
The second Swords Gate was bigger and more complex, giving a sensation as if Sword Qi was to burst out from within!
The third Swords Gate contained more totem patterns that changed continuously, and many skills loomed in and out of the jade surface!
The fourth Swords Gate was more grandiose than the others; it felt like if the door were opened, then the Yuan Shen secret realms would open as well!
The fifth Swords Gate appeared to be more dazzling in rays, containing the arts to coalesce the Yuan Shen and mortal body into one!
The sixth Swords Gate then contained an inner core inside of the doors!
These six sculptures of Swords Gate were stacked behind one another, the next one larger than the last while containing more profound arts within. Even the totem patterns gradually turned increasingly complex, slowly enhancing the visualization skills of the cultivators!
While those totem patterns engraved on the sculptures were also abstruse, when it came to the sixth Swords Gate sculpture, there were already tens of thousands of kinds of totem patterns in it!
One had to know that even the Lei Hu Clan's greatest technique only had over a hundred different types of lightning totem patterns!
The totem patterns on Zhong Yue's sixth Swords Gate sculpture, on the other hand, numbered in the tens of thousands!
There weren't only the sword totem patterns. Totem patterns of all the elements and various races interweaved to form a marvelous array of engravings on the Swords Gate sculpture!
Jun Sixie even noticed the concept of the Great Boundless Sword Qi within it!
"This…"
The elders and Jun Sixie were greatly shocked; the totem patterns on the Swords Gate sculptures were incredibly abstruse and seemed to burst with vitality. The patterns they formed alone could inspire a myriad of ideas and concepts to the cultivators. Not only that, but every kind of celestial totem pattern could be combined into a powerful skill!
But what most caught their eyes were the demon totem patterns!
The celestial and demon were nemeses that could not stand on the same ground together. For all intents and purposes, human cultivation techniques could be classified as celestial cultivation techniques, and yet, Zhong Yue was able to incorporate the demon totem patterns into such celestial cultivation techniques!
Even Jun Sixie was stunned, she then recollected her thoughts to quickly realize the value and importance of this cultivation technique.
This cultivation technique that Zhong Yue had created for the Swords Gate started with an introduction to the cultivation world. This introductory chapter was also a hundred times superior to the one from the [Swords Gate Visualization Art] that they had always used!
This cultivation technique was way easier for one to become a Qi Practitioner, or to put in other words — as long as the cultivator was not completely useless, they would be able to become a Qi Practitioner with this technique!
The visualization art in the second Swords Gate sculpture was even more abstruse, suited for nourishing the spirits, while the third was good for doing the same for the Yuan Shen. The fourth was meant to open the secret realms, and the fifth was aimed to coalesce the atman and mortal body into one. And finally, the sixth one contained the art to condense and nourish the inner core!
Even if the cultivator didn't have any remarkable talents, they would still be able to cultivate to the level of Inner Core as long as they closely followed the cultivation technique!
Even after they had cultivated to the level of Inner Core through the cultivation technique, they still wouldn't be able to fully understand the whole cultivation technique. Jun Sixie deduced that only the Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners would be able to understand the cultivation technique in its entirety.
If this were really the case, then could it still be considered a cultivation technique for Swords Gate to nurture more Qi Practitioners?
This was no different to willingly giving out a god-level cultivation technique to the Swords Gate!
"Headmaster and the elders, how are these six visualization arts?"
Zhong Yue walked over and said, "I'm still an Inner Core Qi Practitioner, I have yet to create the visualization art for Heavenly Dharma Practitioners. However, once I've entered that stage, I will then be able to expand on what I have here."
The elders moved around the Swords Gate sculptures and heaped endless praises of amazement at him all the while. At the same time, they couldn't help but ponder on if a mere Inner Core Qi Practitioner really could have created such a profound cultivation technique.
A mere Inner Core Qi Practitioner that had done what no other Qi Practitioners, including all of the headmasters, could do. If it were a god who had done it, they wouldn't be so shocked, but Zhong Yue was just an Inner Core Qi Practitioner.
Little did they know that Zhong Yue had fused the cultivation techniques of the many races to develop his [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] . In terms of the attainments, he was already a level above ordinary gods!
Furthermore, this wasn't the first time he did something like this. In the demon land, he had cleared the bloodline seals for the Chi Clan's Chi You, allowing the latter to cultivate both celestial and demon cultivation arts.
"I'm thinking about whether I should also include the method to reverse-open the five secret realms in the Awakening level visualization art."
Zhong Yue stood before the Swords Gate sculpture that contained the Awakening visualization art and mulled over the thought, "But it is very dangerous, a slight moment of distraction can result in death, the success rate is too low."
It was because he had gone through the experience himself that he intimately understood the risks that came with reverse-opening the five secret realms. Even with the third divine eye, the probability of success was too low. And without it, it was nearly impossible.
"No need!"
Jun Sixie said decisively, "The new cultivation technique is meant to cultivate the Swords Gate disciples, not take their lives. However, junior martial brother, you can still leave the method to do so behind so that the headmasters can offer it to the particularly outstanding disciples!"
Zhong Yue nodded and smiled, "That would be best, headmaster."
