All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

"Newcomers, I have summoned you here today for one purpose only—to impart the sect's fundamental cultivation method, the Azure Cloud Technique."

The outer sect elder's voice softened slightly, but still carried the sect's authority.

"You have just entered the Qingyun Sect and have not yet learned the sect's internal cultivation method, so you are unable to systematically cultivate spiritual power."

"This Azure Cloud Technique is the foundation of your path to immortality."

"The Azure Cloud Technique?!"

The new disciples gasped in surprise, their faces filled with delight and anticipation.

They had long heard that the Qingyun Sect's basic cultivation method, the Qingyun Technique, although an entry-level method, contained the core spiritual energy circulation method of the Qingyun Sect.

Successful cultivation not only solidifies one's foundation but also lays the groundwork for cultivating higher-level techniques in the future.

A glint of light flashed in Shi Si's eyes.

His cultivation level is currently low, and he possesses a dark spiritual root, so he needs a proper cultivation method to regulate the flow of spiritual energy.

The appearance of the Azure Cloud Technique was undoubtedly a timely help.

Shen Jianxin and Lin Nannan also stared expectantly at the outer sect elder at the top of the stone tablet.

I was afraid of missing a single word.

The Grand Elder of the Outer Sect raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said solemnly, "The Azure Cloud Technique is the foundation of our Azure Cloud Sect, and it is divided into nine levels."

"New disciples should first cultivate the first three levels. Once their foundation is solid and their cultivation has broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, they can go to the Hall of Affairs to receive the subsequent cultivation methods."

"This cultivation method emphasizes the condensation and circulation of spiritual energy, combining strength and gentleness, and is suitable for the vast majority of spiritual roots."

"Even special spiritual roots such as Shadow and Netherworld can be cultivated, but the way they operate needs to be slightly adjusted."

"Avoid being impatient for quick results, or you will easily go astray and become possessed by evil spirits."

At this point, the Grand Elder of the Outer Sect deliberately glanced at Shi Si.

There was no disgust or rejection in his eyes, only a hint of reminder.

This warmed Shi Si's heart slightly—this was the first time since he joined the sect that he had felt that the sect elders did not treat him differently because of his shadow spiritual root.

"Next, I will transmit the mental cultivation techniques of the first three levels of the Azure Cloud Technique into your sea of ​​consciousness."

As soon as the outer sect elder finished speaking, he quickly formed hand seals, and golden light surged around his body.

Countless golden characters flew from his hands, like stars in the sky, drifting towards the new disciples present.

Each golden character contains the profound meaning of the Azure Cloud Technique.

It gently landed on the new disciple's brow and instantly merged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Shi Si felt a heat between his brows, and countless obscure yet easy-to-understand mantras flooded his mind like a tide.

It is clearly imprinted deep in my memory, without the slightest deviation.

Shen Jianxin and Lin Nannan also closed their eyes and silently sensed the Qingyun Technique incantation in their sea of ​​consciousness.

A focused expression appeared on his face, as if afraid of missing any detail.

The other new disciples also closed their eyes and immersed themselves in the mental cultivation method of the Azure Cloud Technique.

Their expressions varied: some were surprised, some were focused, and some were somewhat bewildered.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the golden characters merged into the new disciple's sea of ​​consciousness.

The outer sect elder withdrew his spiritual power, his expression still solemn: "The incantation has been passed on. After you return, you must devote yourselves to cultivation."

"The secret realm will open in three days. Only those with a solid foundation can seize opportunities and protect themselves within it."

"Remember, the path to immortality is long and arduous. Only by being down-to-earth and diligently cultivating can you achieve something."

"Do not be impatient for quick results, and even more so, do not misuse spiritual power or do anything that would damage the sect's reputation!"

"This disciple will heed the elder's teachings!"

All the new disciples bowed in unison, their voices loud and clear, echoing throughout the square, their expressions full of respect.

The Grand Elder of the Outer Sect nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, "Alright, everyone disperse."

"Seize the time to cultivate, and do not let down the sect's expectations."

As the words fell, the figure of the Grand Elder of the Outer Sect gradually disappeared from the top of the stone tablet.

Several outer sect stewards also left.

The new disciples in the square stood up one after another and discussed the Azure Cloud Technique in twos and threes.

The excitement and anticipation on his face gradually faded.

Shi Si and the other two slowly stood up. Lin Nannan's face was full of excitement as she whispered, "Great! We finally have a sect's cultivation method."

"From now on, we can cultivate systematically, and we won't have to blindly fumble around like before!"

Shen Jianxin nodded, his eyes resolute: "The Azure Cloud Technique is the foundation. We must make the most of these three days to cultivate it."

"Strive to master the first three levels to solidify your foundation, so that you can cope with various dangers in the secret realm."

"It also helps to better guard against retaliation from Zhao Hu and his men."

Shi Si closed his eyes, and the incantation of the Azure Cloud Technique reappeared in his mind.

A faint wisp of spiritual energy swirled around his fingertips, circulating slowly according to the incantation.

The spiritual power of the Shadow Spiritual Power and the spiritual power of the Azure Cloud Determination Technique intertwined, and although there was a slight obscurity, it was able to operate smoothly.

This put his mind at ease.

"The Azure Cloud Technique is indeed suitable for all spiritual roots. With just a slight adjustment to its operation, the Shadow Spiritual Power can also be perfectly matched."

Shi Si opened his eyes, a hint of understanding in his gaze.

"These three days, let's cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the third level of Qi Refining before the secret realm opens."

"This way, we can be more confident in dealing with Zhao Hu and his group."

"Okay!" Shen Jianxin and Lin Nannan responded in unison, their eyes filled with determination.

The three turned and walked towards their residence.

Along the way, Shi Si walked while mentally rehearsing the method of circulating spiritual energy in the Qingyun Technique.

Shen Jianxin was pondering how to combine the Qingyun Technique with his own swordsmanship.

Lin Nannan was also silently reciting the mantra, her expression focused.

Unbeknownst to them, Zhao Hu's figure reappeared under the shade of the trees outside the square.

He watched the three figures disappear into the distance, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips.

He whispered to the handyman disciple beside him, "It seems these three lads have also inherited the Azure Cloud Technique, but it's useless!"

"Three days later, in the secret realm, I will still make them die without a burial place."

"And while you're at it, steal the Azure Cloud Decree Technique from them too!"

A dozen or so servant disciples echoed him, their eyes filled with greed and malice.

"Tiger is right! A brat with an evil spiritual root doesn't deserve to cultivate the sect's cultivation method."

"At that time, we will not only kill them, but also ruin their reputations!"

Zhao Hu sneered and turned to walk towards the servant disciples' quarters: "Let's go, let's go back and cultivate too."

"I'll strive to break through my cultivation level in these three days, and then, in the secret realm, I'll take them down in one fell swoop!"

Sunlight streamed down the mountain path, casting a warm glow, as the figures of Shi Si and his two companions gradually disappeared into the distance.

His heart was filled with anticipation for cultivation, a longing for the opportunities in the secret realm, and he was also fully prepared for the impending crisis.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hu and his associates were secretly intensifying their plans for revenge.

A contest revolving around mental techniques, opportunities, and revenge is quietly escalating.

The secret realm three days from now is destined to be engulfed in a bloodbath.
