Chapter 1081: Return In Fulfillment (I)
He departed the island amid the respectful farewells of the Cui Family members. Cui Jueyin stood upon the heavenly light, faintly sorrowful, yet Li Ximing had no time for him. He kept reading and rereading Reversal Hundred-Formations Battleground Body, gaining a deeper understanding of the secret technique.
It was as if a fragment had been taken from Reversal, with eight out of ten words omitted. Though incomplete, it resonates with the Scripture of the Body Guarding Tiger Pass, and can still be cultivated, albeit with difficulty.
If another Immortal Foundation is used... applying it to the Heaven-Venerating Gate will most likely fail.
In his heart, he had already calculated, Reversal Hundred-Formations Battleground Body cannot be applied to the Heaven-Venerating Gate, but my family’s Reversal likely works with every Immortal Foundation. With these nine secret techniques in hand, Bright Yang alone grants nine different paths to cultivate any art! Even the imperial families of old would have no more than this!
Feeling awkward for having once complained about the secret techniques being too simplistic, he smiled wryly. He withdrew a jade slip from his robe, his expression solemn as though pondering a profound divine move.
Cui Jueyin dared not speak, wondering, What is this supposed to be?
The jade slip recorded Li Ximing’s comprehension of the Yang Origin secret technique, which was nearly a hundred thousand words. Compared to before, it was no longer grinding grain or boiling pastries; it had reached the point of teaching one how to swallow without choking.
Now, reading it again, he felt ashamed, cursing himself inwardly, My family’s Dao lineage was incomplete in those years. My cultivation in Bright Yang was scarcely superior to that of rogue cultivators. If this secret technique were placed within the family, I wouldn’t have dared sign my name... Future generations would see it and wonder how Zhaojing, the Li Family’s first Daoist Master, could write a hundred thousand words of foolish repetition.
He wanted to throw it away, yet felt like it would be a pity. So he scribbled the pseudonym ‘Daoist Master Gufeng’ at the signature line before tucking it back into his sleeve. When he saw Li Ximing’s newly composed expression, as if he had resolved upon something, Cui Jueyin sighed inwardly, How unfathomable are the thoughts of a Daoist Master... My family’s aid must have given him greater confidence.
With this small interlude over, Li Ximing finally began pondering the origins of the Radiant Essence Scripture.
