Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

The Tongtian Sect Leader's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the Primordial Realm, and the [Empty Clarity Sword Path] is a method that can temper one's Dao heart.

When the mind is clear and tranquil, the way of the sword is unstoppable, and one can even anticipate the enemy's moves in the dark.

However, Xuan Yin felt that this supreme method of swordsmanship was not suitable for him.

There's no other reason than this!

He was born with a keen mind and exceptional intelligence. He was always meticulous in his planning and never acted without a care in the world.

In his view, if one's sword strike misses, one should immediately flee thousands of miles away, rather than staying in one place to fight the enemy to the death.

"Teacher, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!"

Xuan Yin shook his head. When the Tongtian Sect Leader preached, although he was able to grasp the basics of this method directly through the true meaning of the Great Dao, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything in this method given his temperament.

Ordinary beings have too many distracting thoughts, which is not conducive to cultivation. However, he was born with a mind that was exquisitely clear, so he could find a glimmer of inspiration among many distracting thoughts, and thus find the method that best suited him among many methods, just like how he created his own supernatural powers by drawing on the wisdom of his predecessors.

The Master of Tongtian probably passed on this method to him so that he could refine his Dao heart and eliminate distracting thoughts, but he did not intend to follow the path of a clear and empty Dao heart.

"Perhaps we can make some changes!"

Xuan Yin always felt that the best method was the one that suited his own temperament, so he immediately conceived the idea of ​​modifying the [Empty Sword Dao] method.

"If one's mind is impure, one's sword intent will be weak. I have too many distracting thoughts, making me unsuitable for the path of breaking through all techniques with a single sword strike. I should practice the method of splitting sword light!"

"Of course, as a disciple of the Jie Sect, possessing a deadly sword technique is still very important; ideally, it should be able to annihilate the opponent's primordial spirit in one strike!"

"Besides, if the first strike misses, immediately retreat; the technique of sword escape is also very important!"

Before long, Xuan Yin modified the [Empty Sword Dao] according to his own personality, and summarized the three methods that best suited him.

【Zhaoxing Sword Technique】

This technique is the art of sword light differentiation, taking advantage of the infinite nature of the celestial being's other self. As many other self incarnations there are, that's how many sword lights can be differentiated.

According to Xuan Yin's calculations, once this divine power is fully mastered, it can transform into trillions of starlight, completely annihilating the opponent's imprints across the myriad realms.

Of course, with Xuan Yin's current resources, he can only generate 108,000 sword lights.

【Mayfly Sword Technique】

This technique is a sword escape method evolved by Xuan Yin using supernatural powers such as the Golden Light of Earth, the Divine Light of Primordial Magnetics, the ability to control size, and the ability to see through walls.

The magnetic field rotates, breaking through the void, and the body transforms into a rainbow, like a divine arrow piercing the sun. When the sword is raised and leaps, it is as swift as a meteor or lightning. When one is unable to win, one can also transform into dust and instantly escape, or fall into the endless river of time and space like a mayfly.

As for the third method, it is the [Primordial Magnetic Divine Light Sword] that Xuan Yin previously deduced, which can borrow the power of the Earthly Origin Dao Fruit in times of crisis.

However, in Xuan Yin's vision, the principle of cause and effect should also be incorporated. If he doesn't draw his sword, all is well; but if he does, he will make it unavoidable.

It can even trace back to cause and effect, and kill the opponent's past, present and future selves.

Unfortunately, he has not yet mastered the Dao of Cause and Effect. Although he can unleash an extremely destructive attack, he cannot make it unavoidable for anyone.

Since the time was not right, he did not force it, but instead began to study weapon crafting and talisman making.

He still has quite a lot of materials!

Before long, Xuan Yin used the nine dragon bones he collected from the Weak Water, the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold he harvested from Yan Mountain, and the Phoenix True Fire Origin, along with the art of weapon forging, to create a Dragon-Subduing Cauldron.

This Dragon-Subduing Cauldron is made primarily of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, and its core Phoenix True Fire is nourished by the immortal golden essence contained within the nine dragon bones.

With the phoenix as the main element and the dragon as the secondary element, it was imbued with twenty-four restrictions upon completion, making it a respectable piece among mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures.

Of course, with Xuan Yin's cultivation level, although his skill in weapon crafting was high, his cultivation level was insufficient, so he was not capable of crafting a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

We also have to thank Yan Lin for adding fuel to the fire at the crucial moment.

Subsequently, Xuan Yin used the Fulong Cauldron and other materials such as Taiyin Cold Water and Primordial Soil to refine several talismans containing Taiyin power.

He wanted to continue his research, but the water unicorn Xuan Shuang reminded him that a guest had arrived outside the cave and had been waiting for more than three thousand years!

"Who?"

Xuan Yin opened the cave, but saw no one there, only a gentle breeze blowing in.

In a moment, the gentle breeze transformed into a phantom with eight heads, eight legs, and eight tails—it was none other than Tianwu, the Ancestral Witch of the Wind who loved to spread rumors!

Of course, the phantom before them was not Tianwu himself, but an incarnation of his essence blood.

He's just a minor cultivator at the True Immortal realm; he's not worth a personal visit from an Ancestral Witch.

"Young friend, it's been a long time!"

Tianwu, in his avatar, said with a grin, "Your idea is indeed interesting. When the opportunity arises, let's give Dijun a big one together!"

idea?

Xuan Yin was startled upon hearing this: "You're not really spreading rumors that Di Jun made his fortune selling hooks, are you?"

"Why not?"

Tianwu, in his guise, sneered, "I've long disliked that Dijun guy! Young friend, your thoughts resonate perfectly with mine!"

Seeing Xuan Yin's nervous expression, he added, "Don't worry! I'm the one who spread the rumors; Di Jun can't possibly be implicating you!"

"The person who came to see you this time is actually my second brother. He wants to meet you and specifically asked me to invite you to the Pangu Temple of our Witch Clan!"

Xuan Yin was taken aback upon hearing this.

Tianwu's second brother, isn't that Zhujiuyin, the second-ranked Time Ancestral Witch among the Twelve Ancestral Witches?

Why would he bother with a true immortal like himself?

"this……"

He desperately wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist the allure of the Pangu Temple. After a moment's hesitation, he immediately cupped his hands in the direction of the Shangqing Hall and said, "Master, the Ancestral Witch Zhujiuyin wishes for me to make a trip to the Pangu Temple. This journey will likely take quite some time, so please grant me your permission!"

In the primordial world, the most mysterious place is none other than the Pangu Temple of the Wu tribe, which is said to have an inexplicable connection with the great god Pangu.

He naturally wanted to go.

Go!

A majestic Daoist voice resounded from the void, and Xuan Yin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the Tongtian Sect Leader has spoken and openly stated his attitude, then my trip to the Witch Clan should not be fraught with any troubles.

This is the benefit of having a sage's endorsement.

However, Xuan Yin was still somewhat nervous. He knew that Zhu Jiuyin, the Time Ancestral Witch, wanted to see him, mostly because of the karma from Wang Shu last time.

"Let's go then!"

Without hesitation, Tianwu's avatar transformed into a gentle breeze, tightly enveloping Xuan Yin. By the time Xuan Yin reacted, they were already hundreds of millions of miles away, and could even see Mount Buzhou!

"As expected of the Ancestral Witch of Wind, such speed! Below the level of a Saint, there are probably few cultivators who can rival the speed of the Ancestral Witch of Heavenly Wu!"

Xuan Yin immediately flattered him.

Upon hearing this, Tianwu's avatar immediately laughed and said, "Want to learn? I can teach you! But you'll have to help me think of a few rumors suitable for Dijun!"

"Forehead!"

Xuan Yin didn't know how to respond. Why did such a ancestral witch like you like to eavesdrop and spread rumors? This is not in line with the style of your witch clan.

Suddenly, a zither melody drifted over, like the celestial music of the Great Dao, echoing between heaven and earth, giving Xuan Yin a new understanding of the Samadhi True Fire.

But the closer they got to Buzhou Mountain, the more passionate the music became, and the hotter the surrounding space became, as if someone were using supernatural powers.

Tianwu couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is my sixth brother, Zhurong, the Ancestral God of Fire. What he likes most is to exchange musical ideas with other cultivators!"

"what?"

Xuan Yin was taken aback.

Exchanging musical ideas and cultivating one's character—is this still the Fire Ancestral Witch he remembers?

Doesn't the art style seem a bit off?
