On Dazhu Peak, I cultivated myself into a demonic master!

Chapter 1 Only today do I realize who I am!
Dazhu Peak, bamboo forest on the back mountain.

The bamboo here is quite unique, with deep black nodes and an incredibly hard texture.

Ordinary swords and knives cannot even leave a mark on it.

At this moment, a boy who looked to be about thirteen years old was among them.

The boy's name was Chen Xiao. He was tall and handsome, with a resolute look in his eyes that was beyond his years.

He gripped the longsword tightly, took a deep breath, and his arm muscles tensed instantly.

Immediately, the longsword was raised high and then swiftly slashed down!
"Kacha!"

There was a crisp sound.

The black bamboo in front of him immediately fell down.

The cut is extremely smooth.

However, Chen Xiao did not stop there.

With a light touch of the toes, the figure moved swiftly through the bamboo forest.

His longsword flashed in the light and shadow.

Each clash between the sword blade and the bamboo was accompanied by a crisp sound.

In an instant, more than a dozen sturdy black bamboo stalks fell down in an orderly fashion.

"Brother Xiao, your swordsmanship is getting better and better!"

A series of light footsteps came from afar.

A girl in red walked into the bamboo forest and exclaimed in admiration upon seeing the neatly arranged black bamboo fragments on the ground.

Chen Xiao turned to look at the girl.

The person who came was Tian Ling'er, the daughter of Master Tian Buyi.

Tian Ling'er seemed to have dressed up specially today; her face was delicate and lovely, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, revealing two shallow dimples.

She has a beautiful smile.

Her jet-black, lustrous hair slid down her rounded shoulders and reached her slender waist.

Her hands were behind her back, and a hint of playfulness lingered in her eyes.

Faced with Tian Ling'er's praise, a hint of dejection flashed across Chen Xiao's face.

He sighed softly, sheathed his longsword, and said helplessly, "What's the use of having excellent swordsmanship if my master still refuses to teach me magic?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, a hint of loneliness flashing in his eyes, and his feet unconsciously kicked at the bamboo joints on the ground.

Chen Xiao was originally a time traveler.

His parents were both from Changshengtang.

However, fate played a cruel trick on him. Less than a month after he was born, his parents were hunted down by the Hall of Longevity.

The poor boy became an orphan while still an infant.

Having escaped the pursuit of Changsheng Hall, he was discovered by Tian Buyi and Cangsong.

Cangsong was ruthless at the time, believing that Chen Xiao was a remnant of the demonic sect and wanted to eliminate him completely to prevent future troubles.

However, Tian Buyi intervened and stopped Cangsong, and brought the premature Chen Xiao back to Qingyun Mountain, taking him as his disciple.

However, after learning of this, Sect Leader Dao Xuan, concerned that Chen Xiao was a remnant of the Demon Clan, specifically instructed Tian Buyi not to teach him the Qingyun Daoist techniques.

This ban, like shackles, locked Chen Xiao's path to immortality.

For thirteen years, Chen Xiao had longed to learn Taoist magic every day, but all he got was the daily task of cutting bamboo in the back mountain.

He drew his sword countless times in this bamboo forest every day, through the changing seasons, without ever stopping.

Over time, his swordsmanship became increasingly refined, reaching an astonishing level.

However, no matter how skilled he was in swordsmanship, he was still a useless person in the world of Jade Dynasty because he didn't know any magic.

Chen Xiao harbored a deep-seated hatred for his parents' blood feud; how could he be content to live a mediocre life like this?
Previously, in order to learn the cultivation techniques, he had tried many times to get his senior brothers drunk and trick them into revealing the secrets of the techniques.

But they all failed.

Some time ago, Chen Xiao was almost in despair and even had the idea of ​​leaving Qingyun Mountain and going outside to join a demonic sect.

In his view, as long as he could learn magic and avenge his parents, he would not hesitate to join a demonic cult.

"Brother Xiao, don't be sad. My father must have had his reasons for doing this..."

Seeing Chen Xiao so dejected, Tian Ling'er felt very sorry for him.

She walked to Chen Xiao's side, reached out, and gently tugged at his sleeve. "I understand, but I'm not reconciled..."

Chen Xiao nodded slowly, offering no further explanation.

There were some things he couldn't tell Tian Ling'er.

Tian Buyi never imagined that the premature baby from back then would have memories.

He clearly remembered the blood feud between his parents.

If I don’t take revenge for this, I swear I won’t be a human being!
"Brother Xiao..."

Tian Ling'er looked at Chen Xiao, hesitant to speak.

She seemed to be going through a fierce internal struggle.

After hesitating for a long time, a determined look appeared in Tian Ling'er's eyes.

She pulled a slip of paper from her pocket.

"This is the third level of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao technique of my Qingyun Sect..."

Tian Ling'er bit her lip slightly.

Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of being overheard.

"Taiji Xuanqing Dao?"

Upon hearing these words, a look of surprise flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes.

This is the Taoist method he has been dreaming of!

"Ling'er, I love you to death..."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Chen Xiao put his arm around Tian Ling'er's slender waist without thinking and gently kissed her forehead.

He then eagerly took the note from Tian Ling'er and examined it closely with great anticipation.

Tian Ling'er's cheeks turned bright red instantly after being kissed by Chen Xiao.

She lowered her head slightly, her hands nervously twisting the hem of her clothes, feeling both shy and sweet.

She and Chen Xiao were childhood sweethearts and grew up together.

In her heart, Chen Xiao was both handsome and gentle, almost the perfect Daoist partner for her future.

However, she was always puzzled. Mingxiao was determined to pursue the Dao and his conditions in all aspects were better than hers.

But why would his father refuse to teach him Taoist arts no matter what?
In fact, the most taboo thing for disciples of the Qingyun Sect is to steal the master's teachings.

Moreover, Tian Buyi had specifically summoned his disciples and solemnly emphasized that no one was allowed to privately teach Chen Xiao the Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

However, Tian Ling'er cared too much about Chen Xiao.

Seeing Chen Xiao so frustrated because he couldn't learn the Taoist arts, she felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, making her extremely uncomfortable.

That's why she made this decision, even at the risk of being scolded by her father.

"Brother Xiao, you should focus on your cultivation, but please don't let my dad find out, or he'll kill me!"

Tian Ling'er glanced shyly at Chen Xiao and whispered a few words of advice.

"Don't worry, Ling'er."

Chen Xiao responded without even looking up.

Seeing Chen Xiao so focused, Tian Ling'er smiled knowingly and then turned and left the bamboo forest.

Here, Chen Xiao held the slip of paper tightly in his hand, his eyes never leaving the obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation on it.

It was as if the whole world consisted only of him and the Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

What he needs to do now is to imprint every single character deeply into his mind.

In fact, the methods of Taiji Xuanqing Dao only have these three levels.

To improve in the future, one will have to rely more on their own cultivation and aptitude.

For Chen Xiao, it's more important to write it down now.

We can gradually understand this in the future.

Just as Chen Xiao had memorized the entire incantation and sat down to try cultivating it,

A wisp of spiritual energy was slowly drawn into his body, and as it entered, it seemed to rush straight to the top of his head, causing Chen Xiao a sharp pain.
