In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

The Pure Yang Limitless Skill is the supreme martial art of Wudang. I hope that after you have mastered it, you will not pass it on to others.

"Yanfei thanks you, young master!"

Although the Wudang Pure Yang Limitless Skill is not a supreme divine skill, it is the most refined and profound esoteric art of Taoism.

Both Zhang Xiaoshan and Zhang Sanfeng attained enlightenment through this skill, making it one of the most mysterious martial arts in the Nine Provinces.

Unfortunately, apart from Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Xiaoshan, even Zhang Wuji, who cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, did not cultivate the Pure Yang Limitless Skill to the Dao Foundation stage.

It's not that Zhang Wuji failed to cultivate the Pure Yang Limitless Skill, but rather that he derived Pure Yang Purple Qi from the Pure Yang Limitless Skill.

It may seem similar to the swirling purple aura of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, but in reality, pure yang purple aura is the foundation for entering the Dao.

The Nine Yang Divine Skill is a Buddhist and Taoist divine skill!

"In this great upheaval in the Central Plains, the Yin-Yang School will also emerge."

Especially regarding the dragon pearl hidden within the Lishan Mausoleum and the empire's large-scale forging of the Twelve Golden Statues, the Yin-Yang School will inevitably intervene.

"Dragon Balls? 733 Yanfei knows that they are the most precious treasures of the Nine Provinces, but what are the Twelve Golden Men?"

Not only Yan Fei, but the other two women also looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with curiosity in their phoenix eyes.

"The Twelve Golden Men are a replica of the God of War."

The Demon God of Soldiers was forged from the remnants of fallen stars, but it is also imbued with immense demonic power, as you saw last time.

So the Dragon Emperor ordered Gongshu Chou and the Yin-Yang School to imitate the War God and prepare to forge twelve golden men using all the weapons in the world. However, this project was too huge and would take three years to complete.

That means there are only two years left!

"Two years? Now that the empire is about to undergo a major change, won't the twelve golden statues have to be postponed?"

"No, it should be said that it accelerated!"

Faced with the doubts of Yan Fei and the High Priest of Loulan, Bai Feifei couldn't help but explain:

"What you mean is that the empire is in crisis and needs an absolute weapon of destruction to deter all rivals. Therefore, the empire will not only not stop, but will accelerate the process regardless of the consequences!"

"I see!"

The two women suddenly realized that if they thought of the replicas of the twelve demon gods, then the Nine Provinces would surely be plunged into another bloodbath.

But the Yin-Yang School, with its ambitions, would never willingly hand over the twelve golden puppets to the empire after they were completed.

That may be the time when the Yin-Yang School rebels against the empire.

Similarly, once the Zhang family learned of this plan, they were not going to simply hand it over and allow this deadly weapon to be born.

Chapter 792 Breakthrough in the Tenth Level of Pure Yin Cultivation Technique

"The Nine Yin Divine Skill, though named Nine Yin, is actually based on the Taoist concept of 'the Jade Capital in Heaven, with twelve towers and five cities.' Therefore, the Nine Yin Divine Skill is divided into twelve levels and five major realms—"

Lesser Yin (postnatal), Greater Yin (prenatal), Pure Yin Foundation, Celestial and Human Primordial Spirit, Shattered Void.

Zhang Xiaoshan directly canceled the Nine Yin Realm in the middle.

Previously, there were very few top experts in the Nine Provinces, which is why Zhang Xiaoshan listed the three levels as a single realm.

However, if we were to truly categorize the major realms, the acquired, innate, celestial beings, primordial spirit, and shattered void would undoubtedly be more appropriate.

After all, there isn't much of a qualitative difference between the Lesser Yin and Nine Yin realms; both are acquired realms.

Hiss...

On the contrary, the High Priest of Loulan and Dongjun Yanfei gasped upon hearing the specific division of the Nine Yin Divine Skill, their beautiful eyes widening in shock as they looked at that proud figure.

Unexpectedly, besides the nine levels of the Nine Yin Divine Skill, there are three other realms, and these are realms above the Grandmaster level.

At the same time, I thought of the Heavenly Ranking that has been circulating in Kyushu recently, which is divided into ordinary Grandmasters who are not on the list, top Grandmasters on the Heavenly Gang Ranking, and supreme Grandmasters on the Heavenly Human Ranking.

Even the most supreme grandmaster is nothing more than a celestial being's primordial spirit!

The realm of shattering the void belongs to Zhang Xiaoshan and the previous Bad Commander.

"Next, the High Priest wants to break through to the Grandmaster realm:"

First, it requires ten levels of mental cultivation techniques; second, it requires the assistance of Zhang's Pure Yang Divine Skill, using Pure Yang to drive the ten levels of mental cultivation techniques and condense Pure Yin Qi.

This is a Taoist method of combined cultivation, which is why the Nine Yin Divine Skill has always been a unique skill that only the women of the Zhang family can practice. Only by first cultivating the Pure Yang Divine Skill to the tenth level can one use the Pure Yang Purple Qi to allow the Nine Yin Divine Skill to enter the tenth level and reach the ultimate realm of creation and harmony between heaven and man.

Otherwise, without a great opportunity, one simply cannot reach the tenth level with the Nine Yin Divine Skill alone.

This is a secret that Zhang only discovered within ten years: the Nine Yin Divine Skill is merely an auxiliary technique of the Pure Yang Divine Skill!

The Pure Yin Realm? Compared to the Pure Yang Daoist lineage, it is even more ethereal and elusive.

Upon hearing this, the High Priestess of Loulan blushed instantly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

She did not object to cultivating together with Zhang Xiaoshan. Ever since Zhang Xiaoshan entered the Loulan Ancient Clan, she had seen his shadow.

Just like Zhang Xiaoshan was attracted by her talent and beauty.

Similarly, the High Priest of Loulan also valued Zhang Xiaoshan's ability to protect Loulan and help it achieve glory.

She now needs to cultivate together with Zhang Xiaoshan to break through to the Grandmaster level; she has no other choice.

Whether it was to protect Loulan or because of a sliver of unrealistic fantasy in her heart, she could not refuse.

A hint of disappointment appeared in Dongjun Yanfei's heart.

Not to mention that she is not suitable to cultivate the Nine Yin Divine Skill, even the Pure Yang Divine Skill is a unique skill that only the direct descendants of the Zhang family can cultivate.

In comparison, the Pure Yang Limitless Skill is merely the foundational internal skill of the Pure Yang Divine Skill.

"I wonder what other preparations Aino will make?"

"No need. The tenth level is just to form a pure yang and pure yin cycle with the Pure Yang Divine Art, thereby helping you break through the tenth level and condense pure yin true qi."

Ultimately, it is about the harmony of Yin and Yang, reaching the ultimate state of being between heaven and man.

Therefore, after cultivating the Nine Yin Divine Skill to the peak of the ninth level, at least 30% of Daoist partners with a pure Yin body can directly break through to the pure Yin realm, and those with high aptitude can reach 50%.

"And the High Priestess possesses the qualities of an ancient witch; the chances are at least 80%."

Eighty percent?

Upon hearing this, Dongjun looked at the High Priest with envy.

It's important to understand that the gap between the peerless realm and the grandmaster realm isn't something that can be bridged simply through cultivation.

Like Zhao Gao, Ding Peng, Chen Sheng, Zen Master Juexin... each of them possessed profound internal strength and was a powerful figure at the half-step Grandmaster level. However, without the opportunity for a sudden enlightenment during life and death, they would basically be stuck at the peerless peak level for their entire lives.

Those experts in Kyushu who broke through to the Grandmaster realm were all people with great opportunities.

Gui Yanluo originally did not have the aptitude to break through to the Grandmaster level, but the ancient sword spirit transferred his power and he was given the Tathagata Palm. It took him a long time to comprehend and break through to the Grandmaster level!

Not to mention other people.

"Feifei, during this period you and Lord Dongjun will be in charge of the overall situation in Loulan."

Anyone who attempts to trespass into Loulan will be killed without mercy!

"Don't worry, young master, Feifei will definitely not allow anyone to break in and disturb the High Priest's breakthrough!"

Bai Feifei knew that she couldn't allow others to interfere with her breakthrough to the Grandmaster level.

If the breakthrough is thwarted, the hatred towards the High Priest of Loulan will be akin to the murder of one's father.

As protectors, the two women naturally knew the importance of the upcoming breakthrough, and the warning of "no mercy" was not an exaggeration at all!

···

"Son!"

The beauty is shy, charming and alluring.

As she prepared for the upcoming training, the High Priest of Loulan blushed, her face turning a rosy hue that extended down her neck, and her bright eyes sparkled with spring-like allure.

She is now in her prime, no longer a young girl.

"Don't be nervous. Next, we need to use true qi to form a cycle and complete the circulation of the ten-fold mental technique within your body."

As for breaking through the Pure Yin realm?

The unity of Yin and Yang allows you to refine pure Yin energy from the pure Yin origin within your body. This is why, even if you haven't broken through to the Pure Yin realm, you have at least a 30% chance of breaking through to the Pure Yin realm.

However, women who can cultivate the Nine Yin Divine Skill to the peak of the ninth level must possess superior talent and a constitution leaning towards Yin.

“Aino understands!”

Without top-tier aptitude or some special divine skills, even if an ordinary person obtains a unique skill, it is difficult to achieve anything significant.

A woman who can cultivate the Nine Yin Divine Skill to the ninth level must be of exceptional talent.

Moreover, she has always remained a virgin!

Therefore, such conditions are always one in a million.

"Alright, sit cross-legged, with your five centers facing the sky, and let your true qi circulate according to the pure yang and pure yin mental techniques."

Upon hearing this, the high priest dared not delay.

Setting aside her girlish shyness, she placed her slender, delicate hands on his long, fair hands.

In an instant, as if drawn by magnetism, the pure Yang Qi and the extremely cold Qi attracted each other and began to circulate involuntarily within their bodies, without Zhang Xiaoshan and the High Priest needing to control them with their minds.

The true qi of the Pure Yang Divine Skill (Zhao Haohao) and the Nine Yin Divine Skill originates from the same source.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan's true qi can split into pure yin true qi, it is ultimately dominated by pure yang; it's just a reversal of the cultivation method.

Most importantly, the high priest possesses a pure yin essence within his body, which is the reason for the mutual attraction between yin and yang.

This is the true pure Yin essence, a naturally born spiritual body.

Compared to the primordial yin energy of ordinary women, this pure yin essence can refine Zhang Xiaoshan's pure yang true qi, further enhancing the quality of Zhang Xiaoshan's already extremely high pure yang true qi by three points.

Although a three-point improvement is small, at Zhang Xiaoshan's level, the improvement in strength is more than 30%.

This would at least save him three years of arduous training.

However, compared to the benefits Zhang Xiaoshan gained, the High Priest would undoubtedly receive far greater rewards, even comparable to the Xuan Nu's improvement.

The Mysterious Woman is the icy energy of two thousand years; quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

The High Priest, on the other hand, underwent a qualitative change, refining his own primordial energy to a level comparable to the ultimate realm of celestial beings.

Chapter 793 The Great Cycle of Yin and Yang: The Way of the Demonic Blade

Purple mist wafts, icy blue chill permeates the air!

At this moment, two streams of pure Yang and extremely cold true Qi enveloped Zhang Xiaoshan and the High Priest, circulating within their bodies in an endless, cyclical manner, much like the Tai Chi symbol.

In contrast, Zhang Xiaoshan was already very familiar with it and was in a completely ordinary state.

The high priest then entered a state of divine transcendence, a state of mental detachment.

In particular, the Great Circulation of the Tenfold Pure Yin Heart Method, which seems to grant sudden enlightenment, is more than ten times faster than the previous cultivation speed.

This is because the pure Yang Qi drives the High Priest's Nine Yin Divine Skill. The difference between the two is too great. It is entirely because Zhang Xiaoshan's pure Yang Qi feeds back into the High Priest's pure Yin Qi, making it refined and pure, reaching a higher level of quality.

However, they both originate from the same source and complement each other.

Otherwise, like snow melting in the spring, the coldest true qi would not be tempered by Zhang Xiaoshan's pure yang true qi; instead, it would simply melt away.

In an instant, the icy blue aura surrounding the high priest grew stronger and stronger, resembling a nebula twinkling with starlight.

Those were icy blue frost crystals formed when the icy blue cold air condensed to a certain degree.

This also means that the true qi within the high priest's body is becoming increasingly refined and pure, reaching the critical point where it can condense mystic ice, and he can step into the mystic yin realm at any time.

But this thin threshold is an insurmountable barrier for many unparalleled masters.

Moreover, most of them never break through to the next level, even until their death.

Time passed little by little, and after 108 cycles, the great cycle of Yin and Yang finally stopped.

At this moment, the High Priest had already memorized the tenth level of the mental cultivation method, and his mind had been sublimated, awakening from the realm of creation and transformation. His pair of bright blue starry eyes were dazzling and captivating.

But a hint of disappointment flashed deep in her eyes; she ultimately failed to break through the bottleneck of the Grandmaster level.

With two thousand years of profound knowledge and being a Grandmaster herself, Xuan Nu broke through ten realms in one fell swoop through a great cycle of Yin and Yang True Qi.

The Loulan High Priest was different; the most difficult part was creating something from nothing.
