Heavenly Union Several days have passed since the battle, yet the fervor surrounding it has not waned; instead, it has intensified! This marks the first move by Manichaeism following the siege of Bright Summit by the Six Major Sects, and this single action has sent shockwaves throughout the realm. The Heavenly Pool Twelve Fiends were all killed, and Xiong Ba, who had just ascended to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, was captured, leaving his fate uncertain. The momentum of Heavenly Union came to a sudden halt, and even their mountain gate has become a branch of Manichaeism.
In a room filled with ancient charm, fragrant incense wafted through the air, and wine warmed over a stove. Two middle-aged men dressed as scholars sat facing each other. One of them sighed, "The former glory of Manichaeism has returned."
"Ha ha, Master of the Tower, you have lost this bet," replied the other, shaking his feather fan and smiling gently. "I told you long ago that the disciples of Manichaeism are talented and that their return was not to be underestimated. A force that has lasted for hundreds of years cannot simply fade away without a sound. Moreover, the origins of Manichaeism are quite significant..."
The man across from him paused for a moment as if recalling something. "Old Qi, are you referring to the Persian Sect?"
This middle-aged man was none other than Xiang Dongliu, the renowned master of Fengman Tower, while the 'Old Qi' he mentioned was undoubtedly Qi Yuantai, the deputy master of Fengman Tower.
Qi Yuantai nodded, took a sip of wine, and said thoughtfully, "In recent years, the Persian Sect has been revered as the state religion by the Persian Kingdom, significantly increasing its power. They may very well be considering absorbing Manichaeism."
Xiang Dongliu chuckled for a while before saying it was interesting. He then placed his black piece down and remarked, "One is a dragon crossing the river, and the other is a tiger sitting on the ground; their struggle will surely reveal who prevails."
"My deputy master, how about we place another bet?"
"No betting!" Qi Yuantai waved his hands repeatedly and then added with a grin, "Master, you should think carefully about where to rank that new leader of Manichaeism on the Storm Rankings."
"Hmm, let's place them fifth; perhaps Manichaeism will even be grateful to me," Xiang Dongliu laughed.
Qi Yuantai smirked slightly and said, "You're putting the new leader of Manichaeism on a hot seat; if you do this, those top-tier forces in their lineage might not sit still."
Xiang Dongliu nodded noncommittally and then shook his head gently. Who could blame him? A martial arts master at the age of fifteen or sixteen was unheard of, except for figures like Bodhidharma from a thousand years ago and the Creator of the Dao from the Dao Sect. However, this martial world seemed too quiet. The older generation had mostly retreated into seclusion, while the younger generation had yet to fully mature and stand on their own. It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for this world to experience a bit of turbulence.
Bright Summit Great Hall. Jiang Han sat in the main seat, flipping through several thick notebooks before slowly closing them and saying to Wei Yixiao, "Well done! You deserve a reward!" He then took out a thin book from a box and handed it to him, saying, "Take this. Train well and elevate your skills as soon as possible."
Wei Yixiao's martial arts were even inferior to Yang Xiao's; he was still only at the Innate Sixth Level and hadn't even reached the later stages of Innate. If it weren't for his impressive lightness skill, he probably wouldn't be able to hold his position among the Four Great Dharma Kings of Manichaeism. In the eyes of many, the title of Azure Wing Bat King Wei Yixiao among the Four Great Dharma Kings seemed somewhat undeserved.
Although Yang Xiao was also initially at Innate Eightfold, that was because he had spent years transferring internal energy to Jiang Han during the cold moon days, which delayed his own cultivation progress. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen so far behind Fan Yao, the former Light Right Envoy and Scripture Repository keeper. It should be noted that Fan Yao was a peak master at Innate Ninth Level!
However, ever since Yang Xiao laid down his burdens, his cultivation progress had improved significantly. With ample support from elixirs and medicinal herbs, he was now just one step away from breaking into Innate Ninth Level.
Wei Yixiao trembled as he received the book, his eyes fixated on the large characters on the cover, nearly unable to move. "Three Parts Return to Original Qi"! A low-level heavenly martial art! Moreover, this was just the initial version; it was said that Xiong Ba had upgraded and perfected this martial art to an incredible level. He himself relied on this martial art to rise rapidly.
If it weren't for the imprisonment of Fan Yao and members of the Six Major Sects that prompted the leader to take action personally, Xiong Ba's future would have been far greater than anyone could imagine!
Wei Yixiao's martial arts talent is not bad, but due to a mishap in his early practice of the Cultivation Method, he is prone to going astray. Over the years, this has caused him considerable delays in his cultivation.
If he were to obtain the Three Parts Return to Original Qi Cultivation Method, with diligent practice, his Yin Sha physique might not only not hinder his progress but could instead become a unique strength of his own.
"Thud!"
Wei Yixiao knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, Master!"
This is a blessing akin to being reborn!
For others, this Cultivation Method might just be a precious Earth-Level Advanced Martial Arts technique, but for him, it represents a new beginning.
Jiang Han quickly smiled and said, "Get up quickly!"
He remembers that Wei Yixiao is actually a mischievous old child who loves to tease people. However, when he was younger, only this guy was willing to spend time with him and play together. Even though Wei Yixiao took pleasure in making the original owner cry, he had a peculiar sense of humor.
Jiang Han tossed him the token he had at his waist and said, "This time for First Eliminate Kunlun and then destroy Heavenly Union. The foundation of my Manichaeism has changed significantly. I have decided to grant each high-ranking member above the altar an opportunity to enter the third level of the Scripture Repository to select a martial art. You go and convey my master's order!"
