Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and the Nine Revolutions Yuan Art were too far beyond Li Xiuyuan's reach; he didn't have enough points to exchange for them.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is a method for attaining enlightenment through physical means; it is said that this is what Sun Wukong practiced.

Besides, the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is the cultivation method of the God of War Yang Jian, so it's definitely not an option right now.

Li Xiuyuan asked, "System, do you have any cheap and powerful body-refining methods that suit me?"

There's no way around it; when you're poor, you have to be careful with your money, whether it's for good deeds or bad deeds.

"Ding, Master, according to your request, there are three cultivation techniques available for you to choose from."

"Blood Demon True Form - 5000"

"Devouring Heaven Technique - 8000"

"Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue - 10000"

what!

Li Xiuyuan was surprised. This Blood Demon True Body used blood energy to refine the body, destined to kill countless living beings. The Devouring Heaven Technique was to devour rare and precious materials to strengthen itself. The final Zhou Tian Xing Chen Technique was to use the Zhou Tian Xing Chen as a template to open up flesh orifices in the body.

First, we can rule out the Blood Demon's true form, as it would be too ugly in that state. Moreover, it would involve killing countless living beings and plundering their blood essence, and being situated between Buddha and demon would make it easy for it to be discovered.

Although the Devouring Heaven Technique is impressive, if there were truly that many rare and precious materials, he wouldn't be at this level; he would have already entered the Human Immortal realm.

Finally, the Great Zhou Tian Star Technique suited Li Xiuyuan's tastes, as it opened up fleshly orifices within the human body, possessing immense power.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and then said, "Purchase the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for spending 10000 merit points to exchange for an incomplete version of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue."

"What? An incomplete version of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue? System, are you sure you're not trying to scam me?"

"This system is honest and trustworthy, and it won't cheat you. It's worth the price."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan checked the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue in his mind and then understood why it was so expensive.

First, the ancestral aperture is opened in the space between the eyebrows, and then 365 fleshy apertures are gradually opened.

Once the physical orifices are fully opened, the 365 orifices need to be illuminated by light to fill every orifice throughout the body.

Finally, with the boundless power of his physical orifices, he was completely comparable to an immortal.

This method completely simulates the ancient Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array of the demon race, allowing one to become an unparalleled powerhouse through an alternative path within the human body.

Unfortunately, the person who created this technique was killed before he could create a follow-up technique, so this technique is an incomplete version.

Moreover, no one has ever practiced it, otherwise it wouldn't be so cheap.

Upon seeing the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, "No wonder it's an incomplete version; it only has two layers. But for the time being, it should be enough."

Chapter 71 The Human Body's Treasure Trove

Moreover, in Li Xiuyuan's mind, the most suitable body-refining techniques are the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong and the Eight-Nine Revolutions Gong. These are methods for achieving physical sainthood. After he has perfected the two levels of the Starry Sky Technique, he can start cultivating.

After choosing the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Technique, Li Xiuyuan could continue his next step of body refinement. With that thought in mind, he went to the top of Tianshan Mountain to cultivate.

The wind soars into the clouds, sometimes howling like thunder, sometimes raging like a raging storm, sometimes swirling like snowflakes, ever-changing and dazzling, making it even more magnificent.

After Li Xiuyuan sat down cross-legged, he focused his mind on the method of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue (周天星辰诀), which uses the ancient Heavenly Court's Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array to refine the body through a different method, treating the body as an array.

Li Xiuyuan focused his mind on cultivation, and golden light shone on his forehead. The first acupoint he focused on was the ancestral acupoint between his eyebrows. The human body is a vast universe.

The meridians are like the Milky Way, and the acupoints are like stars, radiating light that is sometimes bright and sometimes dim. The ancestral acupoint between the eyebrows is the master of all stars, the star god of the universe, who governs everything.

Heaven has inexhaustible treasures, and so does humanity. Indeed, the human body is a great treasure trove!

hum!

After a long while, Li Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had spent the whole day trying to open the door to enlightenment in the space between his eyebrows, and the main star was finally formed.

Even with Li Xiuyuan's powerful physique, he felt dizzy after opening this acupoint.

Even for a master of external martial arts, achieving enlightenment is nearly impossible, simply because an insufficiently strong physical body would suffer a backlash.

Li Xiuyuan gained insights into his body's reactions, the purpose of each acupoint, and the consequences of stimulating them.

It appeared before his eyes in an instant. If he were asked to create some ordinary martial arts techniques, he could do it immediately. In the world of martial arts, it would be no less powerful than the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

Furthermore, Li Xiuyuan could control everything about himself, including the beating of his heart, the changes in his pulse, and the breathing of his large and small intestines. This ability to control the most subtle aspects of himself was truly mesmerizing.

This is not about having great strength, but about having absolute control over oneself!

call!

Li Xiuyuan stood up and felt that his physical body had become even stronger. He could now contend with a master of the primordial spirit realm with just his physical body, which was equivalent to the initial stage.

If Li Xiuyuan were to condense another 365 acupoints, even a master at the Great Perfection of the Primordial Spirit stage could be easily suppressed.

However, it is by no means easy to condense 365 acupoints. The reason why he condensed them so quickly just now was because of his profound accumulation.

After a brief period of practicing the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue, Li Xiuyuan once again took out the Dragon Vein from the system space. In the end, this was the foundation of that Dragon Vein's transformation, containing a vast amount of essence.

Moreover, it possesses the spirituality of a dragon. If Li Xiuyuan wants to integrate his Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and Subduing Dragon Divine Leg into the ultimate techniques of a martial arts sect, this dragon vein can help him comprehend the true nature of a dragon.

Li Xiuyuan used his mind to comprehend it. The dragon could be big or small, could rise or hide: when it was big, it could stir up clouds and mist, when it was small, it could hide its form; when it rose, it could soar through the universe, when it hid, it could lurk within the waves.

Li Xiuyuan possesses a demonic dragon, which, although mutated, still contains a trace of the aura of a true dragon. In addition, the dragon vein allows him to gain subtle insights and create a true dragon-subduing technique.

Even in a world where gods and immortals roam freely, it possesses immense power.

…………

In just half a month, Li Xiuyuan's strength increased by 30%. Not only did he condense ten acupoints in the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue, but he also made some progress in the Sixteen Deadly Swords.

Furthermore, the Dragon Subduing Palm Technique and the Dragon Subduing Divine Leg Technique will gradually merge into one, but they are not yet fully developed!

Time flies. After the establishment of the Demonic Sect, it invited various sects from Fengyun to attend the ceremony, including Wudang Sect, Emei Sect, Kuxin Temple, Qingcheng Sect, etc.

The Wudang Sect in this world was founded by the True Martial Emperor. The one in the Storm Riders is just a branch. In the vast Earthly Immortal Realm, there are at least a hundred, if not two hundred, Wudang Sects like this.

As for the Emei Sect and the Kuxin Temple, they are related to Buddhism. In addition, the other sects, large and small, also have considerable origins.

However, worldly struggles are inevitable, and the founders of those sects would not shamelessly use Xiao Fan to deal with juniors.

If anyone is to blame, it's only because their disciples are too disappointing. Li Xiuyuan was unaware of this, and even if he were, he wouldn't be afraid of anyone.

…………

Many sects came to witness the ceremony, even though they knew Li Xiuyuan had ill intentions. They still came to avoid trouble from the Demonic Sect afterward, especially the small sects without powerful backers.

Even people from the Buddhist sects specially dispatched experts to come. Even though Buddhism and demons are irreconcilable enemies, they had no choice but to do so for survival. Don't you see? Even Xiong Ba of the World Society submitted to the Demon Lord.

Rumble!

A drumbeat rang out, and Li Xiuyuan appeared in the main hall of the World's Number One Pavilion under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Leaving aside the carved dragons and jade pillars and the luxurious atmosphere, all the prominent figures from the eight major sects had gathered here.

Li Xiuyuan walked straight to the side of the throne and said calmly, "I am the Demon Lord Wutian! Today I establish the Demon Sect. Thank you all for coming to witness this ceremony."

As he spoke, he sat on the throne and looked down at the assembled heroes below.

The others responded, "No, no!"

"This is something we should do."

"That's right, that's right!"

"It is an immense honor for us to be here today, as the Demon Lord establishes the Demonic Sect!"

…………

A chorus of applause rang out, and the crowd saw a young man in black appear. He had straight, shiny black hair, sharply angled, handsome eyebrows, and a complexion like wheat.

They might have been a little dismissive, but upon hearing that it was the Demon Lord, they immediately put away their contempt. After all, even the mighty Xiong Ba, who was unmatched in the world of martial arts, was still defeated by the Demon Lord.

Moreover, Xiong Ba alone was enough to suppress all the major sects to the point of being unable to raise their heads, let alone the Demon Lord.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand, his voice falling silent. He smiled slightly and said, "My Demonic Sect is newly established, and everyone should give it their full support in the future."

He thought to himself, "As expected, strength is paramount. If you are strong enough, those people will obey and fear you."

Chapter 72 The Lone Sword Saint

"It's natural!"

"Anyone who opposes the Demonic Sect is opposing my Qingcheng Sect."

"Not bad!"

…………

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand again and said, "Gentlemen, our Demonic Sect is newly established and is in dire need of people. Why don't you join the Demonic Sect? I will not treat you lightly."

As he spoke, his cold eyes swept over the crowd below the prince.

hum!

As soon as these words were uttered, people from various sects began to discuss them, and in an instant, the main hall became as lively as a marketplace.

snort!

Xiong Ba let out a heavy, cold snort, and everyone was taken aback when they saw him standing in front of the door.

Only then did they remember the power of the Demon Lord. Even Xiong Ba had been subdued and made a gatekeeper. How could they dare to have any objections?

"We are willing to surrender!"

"Greetings, Demon Lord!"
