Chapter 49: Chapter 48: The Daoist Method is Natural, Bai Yunzi’s Surprise_1

But, even at the Condense Spirit level, Li Daoran’s combat power has greatly improved.

With the power of the Fifth Realm, he now possesses the strength of a typical Great Cultivator of the Six Realms!

If he can eventually achieve Unity of Heaven and Man, stepping into the Heavenly Fate level...

Then his combat power will be far more than just on par with the Six Realms.

It’s undoubtedly strong!

Unfortunately, perhaps this difference in level is a hurdle that Li Daoran may never overcome in his lifetime!

Since its establishment, Tianshui Sect has only ever had a single elder who reached the Heavenly Fate level, the seventh realm predecessor who was once a ’Daoist soldier’.

That Seventh Realm predecessor has long since disappeared into the annals of time, his traces nowhere to be found.

Su Qingfeng, who reached the ’Pure Heart’ level at such a young age, stands a solid chance of advancing to the third level ’Condense Spirit’ with more cultivation in the future.

He may even reach the Heavenly Fate level, which is the root of everyone’s envy.

However, once everyone recalled Su Qingfeng’s extraordinary past, they immediately came to understand.

Innate qi sensitivity, mystical understanding at ten, enlightenment in a single day, and completion of the Daoist body.

If such a genius couldn’t make such significant progress, that would truly be strange.

"Draw the sword!"

Next, Su Qingfeng demonstrated his cultivation in swordsmanship.

A beautiful longsword was unsheathed and swiveled around him several times in the wind.

Around him, multiple sword shadows emerged one after another.

This is a symbol of entry-level mastery.

The result stirred another wave of awe from the crowd below.

"Done, not bad, next person," Bai Yunzi nodded. He was very pleased with Su Qingfeng’s performance.

One by one, the disciples took their turns on stage.

Everyone showcased their cultivation results, some good, some bad, they were all unique.

As Bai Yunzi promised, he provided genuine feedback to every disciple, which made them quickly express their gratitude.

Soon, it was Li Ziwan’s turn.

Li Ziwan’s tear-stained face has not yet dried. Normally a strong woman with a bewitching charm, now all that was seen were traces of her tears.

Pity was visible at a glance!

Li Ziwan’s test results were really good.

Her understanding of the Purple Sun Heart Scripture has reached the advanced stage of the first level ’Perceive Mysteries’. Although there was a gap between her and Su Qingfeng, it wasn’t much.

Her own cultivation had also broken through the first realm and reached the later stage.

In the Sect’s ten authentic successions, her position is truly deserved!

Therefore, after Li Ziwan’s test, she received waves of admiration and compliments from the disciples below.

Surrounded by stars, just like the moon.

Only in this state did Li Ziwan once again feel like her old self, or in other words, regained her confidence.

Thus, with renewed confidence, she arrogantly shot a glance at Mao Ruxue in the crowd below.

However, it was just that one glance.

After what had just happened, she dared not look at Mao Ruxue much anymore.

"Next up, Mao Ruxue."

As time passed, Bai Yunzi finally called out to Mao Ruxue.

"Oh, Elder Bai, I’m coming right up."

Upon being called, Mao Ruxue quickly stood and made her way to the stage.

"Are you Mao Ruxue?"

When Mao Ruxue stepped up, Bai Yunzi asked curiously.

"Mmm."

"Yes, Elder. That’s me." Mao Ruxue nodded.

Upon hearing Mao Ruxue’s words, Bai Yunzi said with a bow:

"Since you are younger sister Mao, you can call me Elder Brother Bai from now on."

Bai Yunzi looked extremely serious.

Even though Daoist Gateway Mountain has already declined, if Mao Ruxue has chosen to join it and is a disciple of the same generation as they are, it is proper for them to address each other as brothers and sisters. This will never change.

"Yes, Elder Brother Bai." Mao Ruxue nodded, responding with the same salute.

As she responded with the salute, Mao Ruxue also took a casual glance at Li Zhiwan in the audience.

This immediately infuriated Li Zhiwan to the point of teeth-gritting frustration.

But she was helpless.

If she had known earlier, she would have also followed to join Daozang Mountain!

On the stage.

"However, Elder Brother Bai, there is something I think I have to tell you first." Mao Ruxue suddenly said.

"No problem, just say it, Sister." Bai Yunzi asked, curious.

Mao Ruxue said with some trepidation:

"That is, everything you said earlier, I think I didn’t understand it at all."

"Will this pose any problem?"

"No need to worry, Sister, you can simply demonstrate it as you usually practice." Bai Yunzi replied.

"Alright."

Seeing Bai Yunzi nod, the tension in Mao Ruxue’s heart finally eased.

After all, not paying serious attention during class is quite disrespectful to the teacher.

After putting her worries aside, Mao Ruxue walked to the center of the stage and started to recite the ’Purple Sun Heart Scripture’ in the way she usually practiced it, based on her memory.

The first position: Hands towards the sky, drawing the spirit into the body!

The second position: Look left, right, and gather the spirit at the crown!

The third position: Five stresses and seven discomforts, spirit travels through eight limbs!

The fourth position: Hundred Yin converge at the acupuncture point, reversing Yin and Yang!

The fifth position: Clench fists, enraged, blending Buddhism into Dao!

The ’memory’ referred to by Mao Ruxue was naturally the cultivation technique recorded in the manuscript that Chen Chang’an gave her.

There was no other way. She had been practicing this way for the past two months, and it had become a muscle memory for her now.

Five stresses and seven discomforts, spirit travels through eight limbs, Hundred Yin converge at the acupuncture point, reversing Yin and Yang... These are random.

Thus, a strange scene unfolded on the stage.

While Mao Ruxue cultivated, she twisted her body into various positions.

It seemed that instead of cultivating, she was dancing.

"Heh, I said that kind of place has no prospects."

"Mao Ruxue, Mao Ruxue, look now, you have successfully ruined yourself, right?"

Seeing this, the disciples below the stage looked puzzled, not understanding what kind of trick this ’Uncle Master’ Mao Ruxue was playing.

Among them, Li Zhiwan, who had a grudge against Mao Ruxue, could hardly conceal her delight.

"Hm? What is she doing?"

Among the disciples present, if anyone was not confused, it would only be the likes of Su Qingfeng sitting in the front row.

Unlike the other disciples, Su Qingfeng and his companions clearly saw the uniqueness of Mao Ruxue.

Though she was haphazardly assuming various positions, a close look would reveal that her movements were following a certain pattern.

One by one, they subtly aligned with the numbers of nature.

’Natural’, Dao is natural, this is the highest ideal that many cultivators pursue in their lifetime.

Not only Su Qingfeng and others were puzzled, Bai Yunzi on the stage was also caught in doubt.

As a great cultivator at the Dharma Aspect of the fourth realm, he could see more than Su Qingfeng and others.

He could clearly see that with each repetition of Mao Ruxue’s movements, two faint auras circulated around her.

One was the pure Yin Qi of the Daoist Gate, the other was the pure Buddha Qi of Buddhism.

What puzzled Bai Yunzi even more was.

The two principles: Dao and Buddha, under Mao Ruxue’s cultivation, surprisingly fused together!

And, if he wasn’t mistaken, when Sister Mao cultivated, her ’Purple Sun Heart Scripture’ was at the third realm of ’Condense Spirit’ level?!

How... how is this possible?!

Bai Yunzi’s eyebrows were furrowed.

Despite witnessing many things in his half-life, he had never seen such a scenario before.
