Chapter 4: The Nine Revolutions of Power, Three thods of Cultivation
Laozi and the others remained in seclusion, and Xuan Qing was also imrsed in the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong.
After so contemplation, Xuan Qing said, “Zi Yun… help analyze the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong.”
“Alright. Beginning Avenue Analysis. The ‘Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong’ is a thod of body refinent that incorporates the Great Dao of Force and evolves alongside it. However, this thod is heavily flawed, particularly in lacking a core technique for cultivating the Great Dao of Force. As a result, while it can strengthen the physical body to an extraordinary degree, it cannot condense the Great Dao of Force within it. Relying solely on this technique has both advantages and disadvantages.
“The Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong is divided into nine revolutions, each consisting of nine stages, for a total of eighty-one stages. Every stage requires the tempering of the physical body. By operating its incomplete core technique, the energy within the body is transford into pure Nine Revolutions energy. This energy contains the rhythm of the Way of Force and may also be called the Energy of Force. Through it, the body is gradually refined—bones tempered, muscles strengthened. Completing a single refinent signifies advancent to the next stage. Nine refinents complete one revolution. Each breakthrough marks a tamorphosis, fundantally altering the physical body. However, every tamorphosis demands imnse energy.
“The greatest flaw of the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong lies in the transformation process of the Energy of Force, which remains severely crippled. Thus, the conversion rate is extrely slow and requires a massive amount of energy. Cultivating this technique necessitates vast resources and ti. Furthermore, with each revolution, the energy required increases exponentially. This is why the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong is considered a technique that is nearly impossible to master…”
Zi Yun’s ticulous analysis revealed many hidden secrets of the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong, providing Xuan Qing with a detailed understanding of its strengths and weaknesses.
After absorbing the information, Xuan Qing’s expression shifted slightly. “So this is the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong? Even with a broken core technique, it remains an incredibly powerful thod of refinent. More importantly, it requires no innate talent—only enough ti and resources to strengthen the body. Zi Yun… pass the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong to .”
“Understood. I will first transmit the First Revolution to you.” Zi Yun did not hesitate before transferring the initial techniques to Xuan Qing.
Every insight, potential danger, and cultivation process was relayed systematically. As long as Xuan Qing followed the instructions, there would be little room for error.
He contemplated for a mont, then murmured, “Interesting… this Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong, does it truly originate from the Great Dao of Force? Why does it seem so simple?”
“The Great Dao is simple. A technique that appears straightforward may conceal profound wisdom.” Zi Yun’s voice carried a hint of realization.
Xuan Qing nodded. “That is true. However, the core technique remains incomplete. I wonder when this thod can be fully restored.”
“To achieve that, you must seek additional divine abilities aligned with the Great Dao of Force. The more I imprint upon the Great Dao of Force, the more I can refine and perfect the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong, allowing you to cultivate at an accelerated pace.” Zi Yun’s tone was filled with confidence.
Xuan Qing understood Zi Yun’s nature well. She possessed divine abilities capable of analyzing and optimizing various cultivation techniques and abilities through the Great Dao itself.
After briefly pondering the matter, he settled into cultivation, preparing to absorb the dicinal properties lingering in his body. As he operated the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong, the dicine within him was gradually transford into Force Energy, which then refined his physical body. The conversion process was arduous, and the amount of energy produced each ti was minuscule.
There was no denying that the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong lived up to its reputation. While easy to practice, reaching the highest level was an imnse challenge. The sheer amount of resources and ti required was staggering.
…
In the blink of an eye, thousands of years passed in seclusion. Xuan Qing had reached the Second Revolution of the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong.
Having completed eighteen stages, his body had undergone multiple refinents. Each cycle had transford him further, making his physical form imnsely powerful. However, he could not ignore the exorbitant consumption of resources. The dicinal properties he had accumulated were nearly depleted. Despite thousands of years of effort, he had only reached the second revolution. The difficulty of this technique was undeniable.
“Worthy of its na, the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong… I have only reached the second revolution, yet my physical body has already undergone a qualitative change.” He sighed, torn between satisfaction at his newfound strength and frustration at the staggering cost of cultivation.
Though Xuan Qing’s form appeared unchanged, the power he now possessed was truly fearso.
One day, as he prepared to continue his cultivation and fully exhaust the remaining dicinal properties, he was interrupted. Suddenly, the air around him trembled with Taoist rhythms, and Laozi’s voice resonated through the space.
“Master…” Xuan Qing’s eyes lit up in surprise. Without hesitation, he turned and made his way toward Laozi’s place of seclusion. Though he possessed the ability to fly, he refrained from doing so within the sacred grounds of Kunlun.
Soon, he arrived before his master. Laozi, the First Heavenly Father, and Tongtian had erged from their ditation, surrounded by an aura of profound Daoist resonance, as if awakening from deep enlightennt.
Laozi smiled gently at Xuan Qing, his eyes filled with warmth. “Disciple… this ti, your master and uncles have spent our seclusion in deep contemplation, creating a cultivation thod suited for you.”
Yuan Shi Tian Zun and Tongtian also regarded him with approval, stroking their beards. Xuan Qing was their only junior, and they had dedicated great effort to crafting a thod tailored to his growth. They understood the imnse benefits of practicing a technique that harmonized with one’s nature, and their care for him was evident.
Deeply moved, Xuan Qing bowed. “Xuan Qing thanks Master and Uncles for their efforts.”
Laozi flicked his duster and smiled. “Very well. It is ti to pass down your cultivation thod.”
The First Heavenly Father nodded. “Before that, we must first discuss the three fundantal paths of cultivation.”
“Indeed,” Tongtian added, his voice thoughtful. “The path of cultivation consists of three thods: practicing the Dharma, using the Dharma, and realizing the Dharma. These three form the foundation of all cultivation.”
Xuan Qing furrowed his brow. “Practicing, using, and realizing the Dharma? I do not fully understand.”
Laozi chuckled. “Disciple… within the current floodplain, all cultivation thods and divine abilities originate from the Chaos Demon Gods. Yet, the Chaos Demon Gods derived their techniques from the Great Dao itself. Thus, all cultivation techniques are transformations of the Great Dao, resulting in three primary approaches.
“Practicing the Dharma refers to the cultivation techniques themselves—thods derived from the Great Dao that allow one to refine the Yuanshen, strengthen the body, and cultivate mana. The Great Dao is vast, and different approaches give rise to nurous cultivation systems. Simply put, this is the process of cultivating.
“Using the Dharma pertains to abilities—techniques derived from various Daos, encompassing flight, combat, healing, and more. These divine abilities are learned and utilized in battle. This is the practical application of cultivation.
“Realizing the Dharma is the core of cultivation—the comprehension of the Great Dao itself. True cultivation is a path toward understanding. The deeper one’s realization, the higher the realm they may attain, and the more profound the abilities they can create. A higher enlightennt leads to greater mastery over one’s future.
“These three thods together form the complete path of cultivation. The technique we have created for you emphasizes both practicing and realizing the Dharma, ensuring a foundation for an expansive future.”
Xuan Qing absorbed the wisdom in silence, contemplating the depth of his master’s words.
After a mont, he nodded. “Master… I understand.”
