Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 16 Cultivating the Second Stage of the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique

"Peak of the Profound Immortal realm, hmm, very good. Just one step away from breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm. It seems my good disciple hasn't been slacking off." Bi Xiao looked at Su Shao Chen's aura of a peak Profound Immortal realm and nodded in satisfaction.

His disciple's recent trip to the human realm caused quite a stir; he even heard his disciple's voice on the Three Immortal Islands.

Moreover, he gained merit simply by traveling among humans! This is something that even the second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect might not be able to do!

"My good disciple has been in seclusion on Three Immortal Island for some time now, striving to break through to the Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible. There are not many years left until the Master gives his sermon. If you can break through to the Golden Immortal realm and go to listen to the sermon, you will benefit greatly from it," Bixiao said, looking at the rich literary and Daoist laws emanating from her good disciple.

"Yes, disciple is preparing to break through to the Golden Immortal realm upon returning this time. May I ask when the next lecture will be given by Grandmaster?" Su Shao Chen also asked.

"The cult leader will preach about two thousand years from now," Bixiao said after a brief moment of thought.

Normally, the cult leader sometimes gives a lecture once every 10,000 years, and sometimes once every 5,000 years. In addition, the primordial world has been turbulent in recent years, so the cult leader basically gives a lecture once every 5,000 years...

"Yes, Master. Your disciple has now reached the peak of the Profound Immortal realm. I wonder if I can cultivate the Divine Art of Protecting the Sect of the Profound Sect?" Su Shao Chen asked Master Bi Xiao.

After all, Master Yunxiao was in seclusion, so he could only tell Master Bixiao about his desire to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

"Of course you can, my good disciple. Do you want to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts?" Bixiao asked her disciple with some curiosity.

Su Shao Chen nodded. The Eight-Nine Arcane Technique is a systematic physical cultivation method, mysterious and unpredictable. It was derived by a sage from the Nine Revolutions Arcane Technique of the Witch Clan, so it is naturally extremely mysterious. Moreover, in terms of physical cultivation, it is second only to the Witch Clan's cultivation method.

Bixiao nodded after hearing this and did not ask any further questions. Although the threshold for the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts was high, her disciple's comprehension and aptitude were both extraordinary, so he was naturally able to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

Thinking of this, Bixiao said, "Then I will go to Jin'ao Island and bring back the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts for my disciple."

"Thank you, Master!" Su Shao Chen bowed respectfully upon hearing this.

"Then this time, my good disciple, you must tell me a few more stories!" Bixiao said in a silvery voice.

"Alright, whatever you say, Master. I'll talk for as long as you want this time," Su Shao Chen assured his master with a smile.

The stories in his mind were countless, both refined and popular, literary and martial...

Several months later, Master Bixiao brought back the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

Su Shao Chen put away the jade talisman of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and began to tell Master Bi Xiao the story of Xiao Huo Huo.

After hearing that his good disciple was telling him a new story, Bixiao listened even more attentively.

Even Yuanyuan, who was lying in her little nest, crawled out and sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, listening to her owner tell stories.

"Battle Through the Heavens, Wu Tancheng, Xiao Family, Third Stage of Dou Qi..."

"So Xiao Huohuo picked up the marriage certificate, wrote a letter of divorce, and angrily shouted, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river...'"

"Since we made a promise back then, I naturally have to keep it. It's not for any reason other than to impress her, but simply so that when I arrive, I can say, 'Your taste is pretty bad!'"

……

"In the name of Emperor Yan, Xiao Huohuo, I hereby grant amnesty to all fires under heaven, that they may obey my commands!"

And so, two and a half years later, when Su Shao Chen finished telling Xiao Huo Huo's story, it was already time.

Master Bixiao was still enjoying the story; Xiao Huohuo's inspiring and passionate story was so captivating that she wanted to hear it all again and again…

However, considering that his beloved disciple needed to go into seclusion for cultivation, he gave Su Shao Chen some instructions and then disappeared outside the Seven Curves Palace.

Yuan Yuan was still in a daze. It was as if, from its perspective, a beast that had been crippled for three years had been subjected to endless scorn and the annulment of its engagement. After angrily shouting "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," it began to gradually become the Iron-Eating Beast Flame Emperor, wielding endless strange fires and achieving the status of Flame Emperor...

Su Shao Chen frowned slightly as he looked at Yuan Yuan, this silly girl, because Yuan Yuan would occasionally let out a smug smile and even drool a lot.

She was still muttering, "Don't think I, Yuanyuan, care much about you, you so-called genius iron-eating beast. This contract isn't a contract to dissolve the engagement; it's a certificate of divorce from the iron-eating beast clan!"

When Su Shao Chen heard Yuan Yuan's awkward and speechless words, his face darkened, and he went up and gave the silly bear a big slap.

Yuan Yuan, who was lost in her daydream, was suddenly brought back to reality. Her clear yet foolish eyes looked at her owner with a somewhat innocent expression.

"Why are you hitting me? I'm so ambitious, I want to become the Flame Emperor of the Iron-Eating Beast Clan. What if you make me stupid..." Of course, Yuan Yuan only dared to say this in her heart.

He immediately stopped drooling and showed Su Shao Chen his aura as a mid-level Celestial Immortal, as if he were asking for praise.

"You're only at the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm. Keep up the good work. If you neglect your cultivation, you won't be able to eat any bamboo in the future!" Su Shao Chen said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Yuanyuan reacted as if she had received terrible news, and quickly scurried back to her little nest to begin her cultivation.

"This stupid bear..." Su Shao Chen was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After telling his master a good story and giving Yuanyuan some pointers on cultivation, Su Shao Chen also began his secluded cultivation.

This time, the task of seclusion is quite heavy. Not only do I need to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique, but I also need to refine the Mysterious Nether Ink given to me by the Ancestor of Literature in order to set up the Four Directions Literary Star Array when I undergo tribulation, and continue to refine the acquired high-grade spiritual treasure Hunyuan Cover.

Time flies when you're in seclusion. Su Shao Chen picked up the jade talisman and began to study the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, as a protective art of the Xuanmen sect, is divided into nine stages.

The first rank corresponds to a Celestial Immortal, the second rank to a True Immortal, the third rank to a Mysterious Immortal, and the fourth rank to a Golden Immortal.

The fifth stage corresponds to the Taiyi Golden Immortal, the sixth stage corresponds to the Daluo Golden Immortal, the seventh stage corresponds to the initial stage of Quasi-Saint, the eighth stage corresponds to the intermediate stage of Quasi-Saint, and the ninth stage corresponds to the advanced stage of Quasi-Saint.

There's nothing beyond that, since the sage level is simplified to the late quasi-sage stage, which is sufficient.

Moreover, even if a sage wanted to deduce the cultivation method for the sage realm, whether he could actually do it was another matter entirely, and whether the Heavenly Dao would allow it was uncertain...

But it's enough for Su Shao Chen right now, and he won't even run out of it in a short time!

The time spent in seclusion passed in the blink of an eye. A hundred years later, Su Shao Chen stopped comprehending the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

At this moment, his physical strength was several times stronger than before he cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. Su Shao Chen even had the feeling that he could now defeat two of his former selves!

In one hundred years, Su Shao Chen had cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to the second stage of perfection, and his physical body had reached the peak of True Immortal!

This speed of cultivation and his comprehension surprised even Su Shao Chen himself. He even wondered if he hadn't had any cheat codes since he transmigrated to the prehistoric world, and had simply put all his points into comprehension...

During his year of seclusion, not only did he master the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, but his original peak-level literary cultivation of the Profound Immortal realm also deepened. If he were to go into seclusion again, he would likely be able to transcend the Golden Immortal tribulation naturally.

Because he was not yet ready to undergo the tribulation, Su Shao Chen awoke from his comprehension and began to continue refining the restrictions within the Hunyuan Cover.
