Legend says the founding ancestor of the Qiyun Sect was True Person Qiyun.
He was a registered disciple of the Qingwei Morality Sect, one of the top major sects on the Central Continent.
After leaving his Master's Sect, he founded the Qiyun Sect.
In the early days of its founding, it even received financial support from the Qingwei Sect.
There was constant interaction in the early years as well.
Later on, because the distance was simply too far.
They gradually lost contact.
The Qiyun Sect's sect-guarding Cultivation Method: 《Qiyun Sword Art》 and 《Pill Cauldron Origin Nurturing Art》.
Both are sword arts and cultivation methods passed down from the same lineage as the Qingwei Morality Sect.
Among them, the 《Pill Cauldron Origin Nurturing Art》 was derived from the Qingwei Morality Sect's 《Great Dao Golden Elixir Scripture》.
Of course, it was a truncated and simplified version.
The complete version of the 《Great Dao Golden Elixir Scripture》 has three volumes and twelve chapters.
It contains all content from Qi Refining to Ascension.
It is a Scripture that reaches the heavens.
It ranks as one of the three great canonical Scriptures of the Qingwei Morality Sect.
As for the 《Qiyun Sword Art》.
It is also said to be a simplified version.
The original Sword Art was also an existence that was incredibly formidable.
We will not elaborate further here.
...
Du Tianle excitedly went up to the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion holding his Token.
One hour later.
He left the Scripture Pavilion extremely dejected.
Neither the 《Qiyun Sword Art》 nor the 《Pill Cauldron Origin Nurturing Art》 were there!
But thinking about it, that made sense.
How could something like this, a sect-guarding treasure, be placed on the second floor.
It should at least be placed on the third floor, which is guarded by a Golden Core Elder.
That's not right either.
It might not even be on the third floor.
Such items should be personally kept by the Sect Master or the Grand Elder.
However, it wasn't entirely without gain.
After rummaging through the numerous volumes on the second floor.
He recorded a total of three Cultivation Methods.
It wasn't that he didn't want to choose more.
In fact, Cultivation Methods are not a case of the more the better.
The one that suits you is the best.
Otherwise, in the path of immortal cultivation, there are as many divine arts and secret arts as stars in the sky.
If one were to cultivate them all, not only would they conflict with each other.
Even if one slaughtered all Demons, Monsters, Ghosts, and Ghouls, the Lifespan gained might not be enough...
One was a Body Tempering Cultivation Method—the 《Hundred Meridians Origin Refining Technique》.
Just recording this Cultivation Method cost ten years of Lifespan.
It could be said to be the most top-tier Cultivation Method on the second floor of the entire Scripture Pavilion.
Friends who have cultivated immortality know this.
If an Immortal Cultivator is viewed as a cannon.
The amount of True Essence Mana within the Sea of Qi is the amount of ammunition.
And the strength of the Meridians is the caliber.
The wider and tougher the Meridians, the more True Essence Mana can be outputted at once.
And the more formidable the attack power.
As for the circulation route of the Cultivation Method.
It is like the fire control system.
It is mainly responsible for functions like loading ammunition and aiming.
And the 《Hundred Meridians Origin Refining Technique》 not only increases Physical Body Strength.
It can also expand and reinforce the Meridians throughout the body.
Another one was the 《Basic Formations》.
The last one was the 《Basic Restrictions》.
The 《Basic Formations》 are very simple; they are the methods for setting up and breaking common Formation Arrays.
The 《Basic Restrictions》 are a bit more abstract.
The so-called Restriction, as the name suggests, means prohibition and control.
For example, Du Tianle's Gilded Light Splitting Sword has seven layers of Restrictions.
Only after Refining and Absorbing these seven layers of Restrictions can one completely master this top-tier Magic Tool Long Sword.
After he learns the art of Restrictions.
He can re-engrave Restrictions onto the Gilded Light Splitting Sword.
This way.
Even if it is seized by an enemy.
They would need to re-Refine and Absorb the Restrictions, making it unusable in a short time.
This is equivalent to adding several layers of a safety lock.
This avoids an awkward situation—
If your Flying Sword or Magic Treasure has no Restrictions.
And it is seized by an enemy during battle.
And they use it to attack you.
Wouldn't that make you a treasure-delivering attendant, a great transport captain?
...
Excluding the one hundred and ten years of Lifespan used in the Artifact Refining Room today.
There are now 745 years remaining.
This requires Du Tianle to make a choice.
Should he continue cultivating the 《Five Elements Foundation Establishment Essentials》 to raise his Realm.
Or should he infuse his Lifespan into the newly acquired 《Hundred Meridians Origin Refining Technique》.
To enhance his Physical Body Strength and solidify his Foundation.
After careful consideration for a while.
Du Tianle decided to take the second path: continue solidifying his Foundation.
Foundation Establishment is different from Core Formation.
Core Formation requires enduring the Thunder Tribulation!
And the higher the quality of the Golden Core condensed, the stronger the Thunder Tribulation will be.
If the Core is of First Grade, or even Supreme Grade.
The Thunder Tribulation one must face is terrifying.
If the Foundation is unstable, it is very easy to end up utterly annihilated.
Thinking of this, Du Tianle sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.
【Deduction Begins!】
【First Year, you feel your Physical Body Strength is insufficient and begin a new round of tempering.】
【Fortunately, you have experience cultivating the 《Jiazi Body Forging Art》, so you are not completely clueless.】
...
【Twentieth Year, as you temper and refine, your body becomes increasingly powerful.】
【Just as you feel immense joy, all the Meridians in your body shatter inch by inch!】
【Pain that pierces the soul assaults you, but you grit your teeth and persevere.】
...
【Thirtieth Year, nourished by Spiritual Qi, your Meridians finally recover.】
【Compared to before they shattered, they seem even wider and tougher.】
【You know this is the cultivation method of the 《Hundred Meridians Origin Refining Technique》.】
【Rebirth through destruction, strengthening through rebirth!】
...
【Thirty-first Year, the just-recovered Meridians shatter inch by inch once again!】
...
【Fortieth Year, your Meridians recover again.】
...
【Hundredth Year, after repeated torment, the cultivation finally enters the right track.】
【《Hundred Meridians Origin Refining Technique》, Entry Level!】
...
【Two Hundredth Year, the Physical Body becomes stronger, and the Meridians become wider and tougher.】
【《Hundred Meridians Origin Refining Technique》, Minor Accomplishment!】
...
【Three Hundredth Year, you advance a step further from a high vantage point.】
【《Hundred Meridians Origin Refining Technique》, Major Accomplishment!】
...
【Four Hundredth Year, True Essence surges violently through the Meridians, like ten thousand horses galloping!】
【《Hundred Meridians Origin Refining Technique》, Perfection!】
【You are immersed in the joy of your Physical Body continuously strengthening and are unwilling to stop.】
...
【Five Hundredth Year, you are still in Secluded Cultivation.】
【The long years make you a bit dazed.】
【Even the teachers whose memories were stored in a folder in your previous life have become a bit blurry.】
...
【Six Hundredth Year, you finally reach the end.】
【You weep with joy, and slowly recall the looks and smiles of your teachers.】
【《Hundred Meridians Origin Refining Technique》, Extreme Realm!】
...
【The 《Hundred Meridians Origin Refining Technique》 has reached the Extreme Realm and cannot absorb more Lifespan.】
【Your Physical Body Strength has been greatly enhanced!】
【Your Meridians have been comprehensively strengthened!】
【Your Remaining Lifespan: 145 years.】
...
Du Tianle opened his eyes, sensing the changes throughout his body.
Then he suddenly clenched his fist.
The air that couldn't escape in time was compressed to its limit.
It emitted bursts of explosive sound.
Then, with a casual wave.
The air movement acted like a sharp blade, easily slicing the chair next to him in half.
With such a simple wave.
It carried a force of tens of thousands of catties.
If he unleashed his full power, it would be even more unimaginable.
Terrifying to this extent!
However, this was not the most important thing.
The changes inside his body were even more astonishing.
His originally not-so-wide Meridians had been expanded by more than threefold.
The flow of True Essence no longer had the congested and painful feeling it once did.
The advantage brought by his immensely abundant True Essence.
Could finally be fully displayed.
