Hu Haiwang was also dumbfounded.

He knew how terrifying his senior brother's Danpeng power was. Even though Chen Yuan had cultivated the Reverse Life Triple Level, ordinary flame power could not break through his defense.

But the fire of the Danpeng is completely different.

"Has this young master gone mad?"

Xu Daoqian was also startled when he saw this.

He naturally knew how powerful his Danpeng was.

After all, this is a six-line divination technique that only direct disciples of the Shuzi Sect can learn.

As the saying goes, "My parents gave me life, but my teachers taught me," this proverb profoundly illustrates the indispensable role of the teacher-student relationship in traditional culture.

The master not only imparts knowledge, but also serves as an important link connecting cultural lineages.

If one is just an ordinary disciple, it is naturally impossible to learn the more exquisite methods within the sect. How so?

There should also be distinctions among disciples.

There are practically no disciples like the Left Master of the Sanyi Sect who personally teach all of them.

After all, Master Zuo is respected as a true man. He has little prejudice. The Sanyi Sect does not discriminate based on background when accepting disciples and teaches without discrimination.

However, other portals are still different.

Those who study the Way, also known as disciples who have taken refuge, or simply students, do not formally become apprentices but only need to pay a certain tuition fee to study under a master. Of course, there are also special circumstances where a master accepts disciples for free. However, when speaking to others, disciples who study the Way must not claim that their teacher is their master, but can only refer to him as their teacher. The master's responsibility towards disciples is only to "teach," and he does not bear any other obligations or responsibilities.

Entering disciples, also known as inner disciples, signify that a student has formally joined the master's school. Unlike formal apprentices, they must undergo a formal apprenticeship ceremony and pay the corresponding apprenticeship fees. When speaking to outsiders, entering disciples can proudly refer to their instructors as "Master." The Master not only has the responsibility of "teaching" but also bears multiple responsibilities including nurturing, guiding, and caring for the entering disciples. The term "entry disciple," literally interpreted, refers to those who have crossed the threshold and become members of the school. However, they are not allowed to freely enter the "inner chamber," that is, the Master's private domain.

The "worldly disciples" level represents a further advancement compared to the "entry-level disciples." They have not only passed their master's tests and successfully entered the "inner chamber," but also, under their master's meticulous guidance, gradually grasp the essence of the sect.

Those who stand out among the many new disciples gain the master's favor and recognition, thus entering the "inner chamber." They are fortunate enough to acquire the master's unique skills and secrets, which are often unattainable by other disciples. In the future, they are expected to become the master's direct disciples, shouldering the important responsibility of passing on the sect's legacy.

The direct disciples, also known as "personally taught disciples," are those who are personally taught by their master and are cultivated as future successors with high hopes.

Liu Deshui, Feng Ping, Hu Haiwang, and Xu Daoqian in front of them can all be considered direct disciples because they have extremely high aptitude and can learn advanced techniques from the sect in advance.

"If this kid were to die from the sheer power of my Danpeng, I would have a guilty conscience. But I can't take it back now!"

Xu Daoqian looked depressed.

How can there be such a madman in the world?

boom!

However, in the next moment, the Flaming Phoenix suddenly shattered, and countless golden lightning bolts surged around Chen Yuan's body, becoming even more turbulent under the blessing of the inverted eight directions.

Countless flames exploded in mid-air, and Chen Yuan's towering body actually tore open the giant Danpeng.

"Eh? How is that possible?"

Upon seeing this, Xu Daoqian was immediately dumbfounded.

My own Danpeng was torn to pieces?

Is this kid a monster?

What's the situation outside?

Xu Xia and Hao Wencai, who were sitting inside the Sanguan Temple, also heard the commotion outside. They ran outside and were stunned by what they saw.

Who is this person?

Xu Xia looked shocked.

"One of them seems to be Xu Daoqian from the Shuzi Sect!"

Hao Wencai was also utterly shocked.

That was the secret technique of the Shuzi Sect—the Fire and Wind Cauldron Hexagram: Danpeng, right? It was actually split open by someone's bare body.

Moreover, the person who split the roc apart was surging with lightning power; he was a disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

That's not right.

The Celestial Master's Mansion's Five Thunder Orthodox Method is divided into two types: one is the Yin Five Thunder, which is practiced by those who have lost their virginity, and the other is the Yang Five Thunder, which is practiced by those who have not lost their virginity.

I have never seen golden lightning.

When the five energies converge into one, the method practiced is called the Five Thunder Orthodox Method. In the initial stages, the five energies of Yin and Yang each have their own strength and weakness, making it difficult for them to rise simultaneously. One aspect must be dominant. Those whose bodies are not yet broken have complete spirit and sufficient energy, with abundant Yang energy. Therefore, among the five energies, the heart fire leading the metal lung energy will be the first to rise. This is the origin of the Yang Five Thunders, also known as the Crimson Palace Thunder.

Those who have lost their virginity have already depleted their vital energy. Following the original methods, the yang energy in their heart and lungs cannot be generated quickly enough, making it difficult to cultivate thunder magic. However, the predecessors of the Celestial Master's Mansion changed their approach, prioritizing the kidney water and liver wood energy, allowing yin energy to rise first, and then refining it after the yang energy has replenished. This is the origin of Yin Five Thunders, also known as Water Organ Thunder. In this way, even those who have lost their virginity have the opportunity to cultivate thunder magic.

"This lightning technique seems rather special!"

Chen Yuan had just borrowed the power of lightning from the Great Sage of the Heavenly Gang, but suddenly he had a sudden realization.

There seems to be some connection between the Mind Monkey and Thunder Magic.

Besides, he had long since mastered his inner demons.

The heart and lungs correspond to the fire element (申), and the yang energy of the heart and lungs can be seen as a monkey being tempered by fire. The monkey's leaps and bounds correspond to the heart, hence the term "mind monkey." The ancients believed that the more experiences one had, the stronger one's mind would become, thus calling the mind monkey a wanderer. The mind monkey's cultivation reaches "emptiness" (空), which is perfection; the mind monkey's goal is "awakening to emptiness" (悟空). However, the yang energy of the heart and lungs has an nemesis in the human body: the yin energy of the liver and kidneys. The liver and kidneys correspond to the water element (亥), and the yin energy of the liver and kidneys can be seen as a pig submerged in water. This pig is in charge of the seven emotions and six desires, being greedy, slippery, lustful, and lewd. Without restraint, it poses a great threat to the mind monkey. Therefore, its training method differs from that of the mind monkey; it requires adherence to precepts, hence the name "Eight Precepts" (八戒).

However, human desires are not entirely without merit. One must understand what is permissible and what is not. The pig's goal is "enlightenment." The monkey and the pig are opposites; after cultivating one, one must not disturb the other, otherwise, the kidney water will run rampant, disturbing the yang energy, and the heart fire will ignite, causing the yin energy to spiral out of control, resulting in the loss of all previous efforts. The spleen's energy belongs to the earth element in the Five Elements theory. It harmonizes the heart yang and kidney yin, hence the name Sha Wujing (Sandy). It is responsible for mediating conflicts between yin and yang. Therefore, the spleen's energy is not restless; it is obedient and lacks personality, requiring cultivation to achieve "stillness."

Therefore, Yang Five Thunders can be called Thunder of the Heart and Lungs, while Yin Five Thunders can be called Thunder of the Kidneys and Water.

Chapter 366 Am I Famous? (First Update)

"Huh? This kid seems to have entered a state of enlightenment!"

Xu Daoqian was also surprised to see what was happening before him.

This young master is far too formidable; just sparring with him has actually led to further improvement.

Moreover, this kid actually tore his Danpeng apart just now. One has to admire how terrifying this guy's strength is.

Despite being so much younger than him, he already possessed such profound life cultivation and skill.

"Brother Chen truly lives up to his name."

Hu Haiwang also pushed up his glasses, looking at him with admiration.

It's true what they say, comparisons are odious.

Thinking that his current cultivation level was no match for Chen Yuan's, Chen Yuan actually entered a state of enlightenment again.

"No way?"

Liu Deshui was also dumbfounded.

"Are you, sir, Senior Brother Xu Daoqian of the Shuzi Sect? I am Xu Xia of the Yixian School, and Hao Wencai of the Ziran Sect!"

At this moment, Xu Xia and Hao Wencai also came over and bowed.

"Xu Xia, Hao Wencai?"

Chen Yuan also snapped out of his state of enlightenment and looked at Hao Wencai and Xu Xia with surprise.

Damn it!

Thirty-Six Thieves again?

These two guys are relatively low-key among the Thirty-Six Thieves, and they don't get much attention in the comics.

"Hehe, it's me. So it's Brother Xu Xia and Brother Hao Wencai. You two were invited by Brother Lu Sheng to help out, right?"

Xu Daoqian chuckled.

Lu Sheng had told him about this, but he hadn't told him about Chen Yuan's situation.

"Exactly!"

The two exchanged a glance and then nodded.

"So you are a disciple of the Yixian School and the Natural School. I am Hu Haiwang of the Art School!"

Hu Haiwang also gave a slight bow.

"I am Liu Deshui of the Yanwu Hall!"

Liu Deshui also looked at the two curiously, not knowing why he felt a strange fondness for them.

"My name is Chen Yuan!"

Chen Yuan also cupped his hands in greeting.

Theoretically speaking, he could indeed be considered a rogue cultivator.

After all, although Old Man Wang taught him how to reverse the eight directions, the two did not go through a formal apprenticeship ceremony, so in terms of status, Old Man Wang was not his master.

The same goes for the Left Gate Master. Although he passed on the secret of reversing his birth, the two can only be considered to be elder and junior.

"What? You're Chen Yuan!?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xia and Hao Wencai were immediately shocked.

No wonder he just directly confronted Xu Daoqian's Danpeng; it turns out this person is the legendary Chen Yuan.

"No wonder!"

Xu Xia nodded in agreement.

No wonder this guy in front of me is so intimidating; he actually managed to fight Senior Brother Xu Daoqian to such an extent. It seems he really is the one from the rumors.

That's truly remarkable.

I've heard that even the disciple surnamed Mao from the Celestial Master's Mansion lost to this man by half a move. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed unfathomable.

Am I famous?

Chen Yuan scratched his head.

It seems he's quite famous now.

"Brother Yuan, aren't you famous yet?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Deshui's chubby face twitched, and he rolled his eyes.

Chen Yuan is extremely famous now.

The events at the Lu family's birthday banquet have already spread far and wide throughout the martial arts world.

"Ahem, now that Brother Xu Xia and Brother Hao Wencai have come over, Brother Chen, let's end our sparring here!"
