Chapter 527
As Senior Sister Zhao spoke, the figure of Ji Changxi, the former head of the Grand Dao Sect, suddenly appeared before Li Fan, recounting his story to him.
“We were still too young back then, thinking that we had hidden ourselves well enough. But we never imagined that true experts could see through our cultivation techniques with just a drop of blood.”
“The Xuantian Sect's techniques are divided into four levels: (Xuan) Mysterious, (Tian) Heaven, (Di) Earth, and (Huang) Yellow, from the highest to the lowest. The four techniques we obtained from that ruin were all of the highest 'Mysterious' level.”
“Not only were they mysterious and divine, but they were also on par with the true teachings of the Grand Dao Sect. Furthermore, there was something even more enticing about them, something that even moved the heart of Ji Changxi, the head of the Grand Dao Sect.”
“It was said that the Xuantian Sect's techniques all originated from the sect’s ultimate treasure, the Xuantian Mirror. Those who cultivated to a high level could even establish a connection with this treasure.”
“Though at the time, Ji Changxi wanted nothing more than to capture us on the spot and thoroughly interrogate us. However, he knew that the Xuantian Sect’s techniques carried their own secrecy measures. Even if others tried to forcibly pry into them, all they would obtain would be distorted and incorrect versions of the techniques.”
“To learn the real techniques, they had to be willingly written down by the cultivator. Besides, at that time, his cultivation level was only at the late Dao Integration stage, not much stronger than mine. Forcing the issue wouldn’t guarantee success.”
“So, he decided to play the long game, setting a trap.”
Suddenly, Ji Changxi sneered, “On one hand, he deliberately sent us out to perform various tasks, suppressing our cultivation growth. Meanwhile, he used his position as sect head to access resources and elevate his own cultivation.”
