Chương 68: Entering the Sect

The little girl stopped Yu Yun Jun and said softly, "Aunt, you did not choose the wrong person. My junior brother has a heart of gold. It seems like this Holy Jail Sect are a bunch of rotten eggs to have forced my junior brother into killing so many people.”

Pei Zi Yun had yet to officially join the sect, and this little girl Chu Xia was already defending him like she would do for a junior brother.

Yu Yun Jun sighed and looked at Pei Zi Yun.

She had been gathering reports of him these past few days to get a full and thorough understanding of Pei Zi Yun. His innate gift was extraordinary. He had killed three bandits for his childhood sweetheart before becoming an Elementary Scholar. After which he devised a strategy for the patrol officers and himself to annihilate the Black Wind Sect stronghold. Afterwhich he attained High Scholar before returning back to kill Li Wen Jing. Shortly after, he killed Zhang Jie Yu in his own village.

As for the feeling she had that Pei Zi Yun was hiding something, there was no proof to that. For many things as long as there’s an outcome, everything would reveal itself in due course and cannot be hidden.

‘To be so firm and decisive in killing, and yet, to have such a soft side, could it all be an act? I will never know.’ Yu Yun Jun pinched the little girl’s cheeks, "You are so clever.”

“He he” The little girl squirmed around and tilted her head to one side.

“Teacher, shall we go directly to the prefecture?” Pei Zi Yun asked respectfully.

“We shall go directly, there’s a boat waiting for us.” Yu Yun Jun raised her hands to touch the leaves that brought dew along with it. She then said, "It was not convenient for me to scry your skills yesterday. Now let me see that how far you’ve managed to cultivate.”

“Teacher, please have your way.” His tone was prideful, as if he knew that he had done well, and yet, his words were modest and humble. Yu Yun Jun looked at him, before stretching a finger and touching his forehead. At once a bright glow of energy shone out from within him. After sometime, her expression showed one of surprise, followed by happiness. She then said, "You’ve managed to gain access, and cultivated up to the 5th level, that level emphasizes on internal strength.”

Pei Zi Yun raised his eyebrows, as his eyes gave off a contented and satisfied look. He then asked, "Can you tell me more?”

He already knew the answers, but he couldn’t say that he knew and thus had to ask.

Yu Yun Jun started touching her lips before she raised her head and said, "The first few steps of cultivation starts with the physical body. The 1st and 2nd steps are related to health. The 3rd and 4th steps are related to proper breathing techniques.”

“These are all normal, mortal steps that even a regular martial artist is able to attain.”

“However the inner strength step cannot be attained by just anybody. The internal organs are very fine and delicate and require very careful steps in order to cultivate internal strengths. In fact, it’s extremely difficult to cleanse one’s meridians and break and regrow bones just to reach this step. Once a mistake has been made, it will not be visible, yet it will have several side effects. I’ve taken a look at your inner strength, and it shocked me. I realized that your inner strength building was flawless. How did you cultivate like this?”

What she meant was, although there was a manual to follow, the steps within the manual were fixed and concrete, how could he have achieved a flawless cultivation, if he hadn’t deviated?

If it weren’t for the fact that he was born pure, and had been under the watchful eyes of Zhao Ning for many years, and had no traces of other techniques, she wouldn’t dare to believe it herself. She then heard Pei Zi Yun reply, "Teacher, I have no idea, I just followed the manual as it is.”

Yu Yun Jun had no words to say for a long time. Could he really be gifted?

She then continued what she had been saying, "Regardless, inner strength is the starting point and the threshold to becoming an immortal. It can also be said, that once this threshold is broken, everything from this point on will accumulate towards your immortalisation.”

She then said in detail, "Inner strength can cause your internal organs to develop and heal faster. A person’s lifespan will increase as a result of inner strength as well. Once the inner strength is at its maximum, you can then proceed to the 7th and 8th steps, and produce extraordinary strength.”

“For the 9th and 10th steps, a person learns to control this strength, and is able to be extremely firm and extremely flexible. He would then be able to live up to 120 years old, and has crossed the boundaries of being a human immortal!”

“For the 10th step, the gates of heavens are opened to this person, and he can walk along the Dao and becomes master of Yin. At this stage he shall be referred to as Dao Master,”

Yu Yun Jun finished speaking and remained silent for some time, "You've already started cultivating inner strength, and have done well in this regard. I've accumulated some techniques, I can impart some to you. As for opening the gates of heavens, we can speak about this another time.”

“Yes!”

They stepped into their own ox-cart and headed toward their destination, but they could still talk to each other since they were sitting alongside each other. Yu Yun Jun then said, "You’ve cultivated a pure and clean Qi, when we reach the monastery, your senior uncle will be very happy to see you.”

Pei Zi Yun smiled. With experience from the original owner’s memories, if he was unable to cultivate a pure and clean Qi, it would be the joke of the century.

After that conversation, they both remained quiet and listened to the sound of the wind. Pei Zi Yun felt a sense of satisfaction and joy well up within his heart. This time, he had managed to enter Free Cloud Sect five years before the original owner. From here on, he’d managed to alter his fate.

They both had nothing to say at this point as the ox-cart hurried along the way. Only the little girl was singing and humming, asking many questions. Whenever she stopped humming, she would grab Pei Zi Yun and ask him anything that came into her mind.

The little girl Chu Xia, was his senior sister and was very experienced in his previous life. Pei Zi Yun forced a laugh and dealt with her endless stream of questions. They were rushing towards their destination until they reached a pier, where they boarded a boat and headed straight for the prefecture.

Zhou Prefecture, Green Cloud Monastery

They arrived at a lake, situated on the west side of the monastery. Pei Zi Yun walked in the direction of the monastery. The sun had just risen and a group of people had just woken up, lighted up their lanterns and headed out to sea to begin their day, catching fish.

When they were near the monastery, they could see many Daoists doing their assigned work.

*Muttering Incantations*

Pei Zi Yun walked past and heard these familiar Daoist incantations. Yu Yun Jun smiled and said, "This is a morning class. A Daoist cannot cultivate when it’s quiet, as they have to chant incantations. Even outside of the sect, they have their orders to follow. These Daoist cannot even be counted as disciple. Their responsibilities involve sweeping the area, and cleaning it.”

Pei Zi Yun nodded his head when a bell rang all of a sudden. The sound of the bell was dense and loud, bringing a certain sinking feeling.

Green Cloud Monastery was situated in the north, yet faced the south. From the middle, left and right were three different paths leading to the monastery. There was another entrance to the back as well, and thus had four ways to enter the monastery. In front of the monastery, were two huge trees that were approximately 100 years old. They were so thick that two people could hug them and still not touch each other. They were about 10 meters tall and caused their shadow casted on the ground to be huge. At this time there were many visitors exiting the monastery.

Once they entered the monastery, Pei Zi Yun sighed. Although the original owner had been here before, it was in fact his first time here. The main hall was majestic looking at first glance. There were adjacent halls to its left and right, and were filled with numerous paintings.

Although it was still very early, there were many visitor who had come to visit and burn incense.

Yu Yun Jun followed the little girl, Chu Xia. Chu Xia’s eyes were round and wide open. It was hard to tell what she was thinking of.

The three of them walked on as Yu Yun Jun introduced Pei Zi Yun to his new surroundings, "This monastery was build during the previous dynasty. It’s been 300 years since its been first opened. Pei Zi Yun, do you know why Daoist cultivators must not be caught up with the wealth and riches of this world?”

Pei Zi Yun had been asked the same question in his previous life during his visit here and thus he knew the answer, but chose not to give the full answer, "Teacher, in order to support the sect and ensure that it flourishes, we need to have land and wealth. If we get too caught up with the wealth it might hinder our cultivation”

“Aunty, it’s not like you’re unaware of how intelligent my junior brother is. He became a Top Scorer at fifteen. He’s so young he still can grow taller.” Chu Xia said indignantly as she looked at her aunt.

“That’s correct, Green Cloud Monastery is the exterior of Free Cloud Sect. The outer disciples begin their Daoist experiences here, which explains the importance of riches and land to the sect. We are Daoist cultivators, and while we should not be blinded by riches, we should not be poor as well, as poverty wields little influence.”

As she spoke, she led him to the main hall. There were idols of different deities standing around the main hall. Just as Yu Yun Jun opened her mouth to speak, Chu Xia interrupted her, "This I know. Junior brother, let me explain it to you. The idols in this hall are all immortals that were officials and scholars.”

“The believers will all enter the main hall and seek secular blessings and protection. It’s been said that doing this was very effective, although these were just the words of ordinary people.” The little girl, Chu Xia spoke like a little bird, chirping away confidently and merrily.

Pei Zi Yun was very familiar with this, since the original owner had a deep impression and memory of these affairs.

“The middle hall has two Dao Sovereign statues.”

“The last hall was filled with statues of Ancient Founders.”

Behind that last hall were the living quarters of all the disciples within the outer circle of the sect. Memories of being here flooded his mind, as he looked ahead.

“I’m finally here.” Pei Zi Yun entered and noticed he was in a courtyard filled with bricks and gingko trees lined the yard. Everything looked extremely familiar to him. Right at this moment, a middle aged Daoist came walked over. He had an aura that made him seem extremely wise and safely. When Pei Zi Yun looked up, he realized that it was Zhao Ning. He hurriedly walked over and saluted him, "Student pays his respects to teacher.”

“Good, good. Pei Zi Yun, the last time I permitted my junior brother to hand you the manual. I can see that you have no disappointed me. You’ve practised it well. And your academic endeavors have been very successful. You managed to acquire consecutive titles from Elementary Scholar to Top Scorer. You are indeed my good student.” Zhao Ning said as soon as he saw Pei Zi Yun.

Yu Yun Jun smiled and said, "Alright brother Zhao. Let’s go in and talk. I’ve brought Pei Zi Yun here today so that he can officially join the sect. I’ve already accepted him as my disciple, and thus he is your junior nephew. Didn’t you say you’ve prepared something?”

“Respects to Senior Uncle. I’ve not seen Senior Uncle for some time now, and he looks very handsome today.”

Zhao Ning turned around and saw that it was the little girl, Chu Xia speaking. He then laughed, " I’m old enough to know there’s no free lunch in this world, and your compliments will come at a cost. What’s so good about your senior uncle?”

He then said, "You’ve sent a letter ahead of your arrive. The monastery had made preparations some time ago. The people who are supposed to be here are already here.”

As he said this, two young men entered.

The first person who walked in was his senior brother Song Zhi, and another young master who was tall and walked in a dignified demeanor. This noble young master had a Qi aura that far surpassed any regular Daoist’s aura.

Pei Zi Yun recognized him. He was Ji Bei Hou’s 3rd young master.

When he saw Song Zhi, Pei Zi Yun’s fury started to build up within him once more. However, this time he came prepared and suppressed it.

“Respects to Senior Uncle, Senior Aunt, Little Sister.” Song Zhi greeted everyone.

“This is your big senior brother Song Zhi and another senior brother Wei Ang.” Zhao Ning introduced them to each other. Pei Zi Yun shivered as he looked into the eyes of Song Zhi.

When they were introduced, Song Zhi was referred to as big senior brother. This was because Song Zhi was already the big senior brother of the outer sect disciples, and he was about to be the successor of an Inner Disciple.

Song Zhi didn’t know what Pei Zi Yun was thinking. They had met once before. He then turned around and spoke to Zhao Ning, "Senior uncle Zhao. The initiation rites for my fellow brother has been prepared. All my junior brother needs to do is to take a shower. After that he will be able to proceed.”

Zhao Ning smiled, "Since the preparations have been concluded, and you are the big senior brother, please bring your new junior brother to the shower, where he has to wear his Daoist robes. I shall wait with your senior uncle in the main hall.”

“Yes!” The both of them bowed in unison. Song Zhi led the way and brought Pei Zi Yun to the courtyard at the back, where hot water had been prepared for his shower, and a new set of robes were prepared.

After Pei Zi Yun had taken his shower and changed into his fresh clothes, Song Zhi was waiting outside and complimented, "What a good looking heroic Daoist.”

He then led Pei Zi Yun into the last hall. Pei Zi Yun then met up with Yu Yun Jun and Chu Xia. He noticed that they too had changed into fresh robes. Chu Xia was blinking repeatedly and smiling at Pei Zi Yun.

“Pay your respects to the Dao Sovereigns.”

“Pay your respects to the Ancient Founders.”

“Pay your respects to your Teacher.”

The ritual was very simple and was over in no time, and yet it was extremely important and symbolic. Yu Yu Jun sat in front of Pei Zi Yun. Now that she had officially received him as her disciple, she said, "Pay your respects to your senior uncle.”

Pei Zi Yun went up to Zhao Ning and said, "Disciple pays his respects to Senior Uncle.”

Zhao Ning smiled and nodded his head. He then extended an arm to help Pei Zi Yun up, "You do not have to be too courteous, get up. Congratulations to Fellow Sister for acquiring a new disciple. I have prepared a gift.”

As Zhao Ning said this, a young Daoist boy came over and brought a box. He then opened it and took out a sword, "This is a little something from your senior uncle.”

“Thank you Senior Uncle.”

The little girl was seated at the side fidgeting. Yu Yun Jun then smiled and said to Pei Zi Yun, "Come over here. This is my gift to you. A Dao Plate and a manual of Dao Arts. Keep it well. This manual is the Free Cloud Daoist Manual (Upper Volume). There are big and small Dao Arts within, with a total of 23 different techniques. However, cultivating it requires a certain degree of fate and capabilities. Of 100 people that cultivate, maybe only one would be able to cultivate most of these skills. Whichever skill you managed to cultivate up till will be entirely dependent on you then.”

“Thank you teacher!” All of a sudden, he felt as though he had been hit by something. He looked around and saw a small sparrow, its body was white in color and its beak was red. It chirped a few times before flying off.

That feeling lasted for a fraction of a second, and caused Pei Zi Yun some shock. Before his eyes appeared a white plum blossom. It bore with it a faint white glow around it.

“Now that this mission had been completed, I wonder what benefits will I get?” A warm feeling enveloped his body.

“After the conclusion of this ceremony, you will be a disciple of the sect. I hope you’ll cultivate diligently and not slack off.” Zhao Ning said.

Pei Zi Yun paused for awhile before replying, "I will remember Senior Uncle’s words.”


Chương 69: Retrieve

When the rituals were over, it was almost noon. Lunch wasn’t the most sumptuous, but it was definitely healthy and nutritious. They had mushrooms, beans, boiled cabbages, beancurd and soup. After Pei Zi Yun had finished his bowl of rice, he started eating the dishes. When he looked up, he saw that Zhao Ning and Yu Yun Jun had stopped eating. He then placed his chopsticks down.

“Your journey was long, and you must be tired. Return to your quarters to get some rest!” Yu Yun Jun said kindly, and everyone around smiled. It was the same for them the first time, who wouldn't be so excited to be here and cultivate Dao Arts that they forgot to rest?

“Yes, this disciple will then retire to his quarters.” Pei Zi Yun said as someone stood up and led the way to the outer disciples’ dormitory.

Although it was referred to as a dormitory, it was in fact a neat and spacious room. There was a mattress at the side and a quilt to go along. Although there was a bookshelf by the wall, it wasn’t a huge one, it was a small one. He walked up to the shelf and took a look at the books, which provided basic insights into life within the Dao and history on the monastery.

“Everything you see here is for the perusal of the outer disciples.”

Next to the window was a wooden table, with inkstone and paper on it. Pei Zi Yun took a seat on the chair next to the table and started fiddling with the inkstone. He then said in a hushed voice, "System!”

A white Plum Blossom appeared before his eyes, expanding rapidly before turning into an information interface. It was almost transparent as it floated around, emitting a faint white light.

“Mission: Defend yourself against the bandits, enter Free Cloud Sect Completed! (Yet to be extracted.)”

“Extract!”

A transparent Plum Blossom floated up before resting on his forehead "Woosh” Pei Zi Yun trembled as a ton of information, knowledge and experience flooded his mind. His vision became a whirl.

When he finally regained his composure, he was shocked to see the sun almost setting.

“It has taken me hours to absorb all the information, knowledge and experience.” Pei Zi Yun stood up and took two steps forward. He was extremely confused and perplexed, "Original owner, you’ve planned this out very well.”

Pei Zi Yun had initially thought that he completely understood the intentions of the original owner. Only now had he realized that the original owner had withheld plenty of information from him. In the past, he only understood a small portion of what was happening, and thought it was the entire picture. Now however, all the details came flooding into him.

‘All these information and knowledge. It seems like Paradise is a place which absorb and accumulated Qi from the Earth. However, the Qi on Earth is limited. How could it absorb the Qi without interrupting the flow?’

‘When the outer disciples build more monasteries, the amount of incense received increases exponentially. This is how Qi is being replaced.’

‘However, if we were to solely rely on Paradise for Qi, in a few generations, we would inevitably kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.’ (TN : Chinese proverbs )

‘The purpose of the outer disciples is to accumulate materials for the sect elders. The inner disciples roles are to refine and cultivate the Dao. Once this is done, the inner disciples will be able to open the gates of heavens and become Yin Masters.’

‘If Paradise didn’t exist, it would be hard to become an Earth Immortal. Furthermore, the contents within Paradise are limited as well. There are a fixed and limited number of Earth immortals that can be cultivated within a sect. For our Free Cloud Sect, we can only have a maximum of five Earth Immortals in every generation.’

(TN: Generation is used to determine people of the same level eg: senior brothers and sisters are within the same generation)

‘However, the outer disciples are very important too. It can even be said that when it comes to the contributions to the sect, the outer disciple’s contributions are more important. In order for a disciple to reach the honorary disciple position, he would have to establish a great amount of contributions. This was why Song Zhi spent countless years accumulating his contributions to the sect. This outer big senior brother had already taken the first step into becoming an honorary disciple.’

(TN: An honorary disciple was one was groomed to become a Sect Leader of his generation, and will become Leader in future.)

‘However contribution alone is not enough to ensure that one becomes an honorary disciple.’

‘Not only must they cultivate to great heights, but they must keep their cultivation and Dao pure and clean. The reason behind this is because Paradise only accepts cultivators who are pure and true to one’s own destiny. Deviating away from this course by learning other forms of Dao Arts would hinder this. Free Cloud Sect’s core Dao is Resonance.’

‘If a person were corrupt his cultivation, even if he became very strong and powerful, he wouldn’t have the required fate to enter Paradise.’

‘The original owner had cultivated other techniques and was thus considered impure. Hence even with his trump card, he was still ranked outside of the sect’s nucleus. The original owner only discovered this much later. Thankfully the original owner did not deceive me. All the techniques that he had left for me in my memories were pure and true to my own nature. Thus when I received all these details from the original owner, I was already on the road to achieve a perfect cultivation.’

Pei Zi Yun looked at his abilities and a string of words formed before his eyes.

“Free Cloud Sect Sword Technique: Advanced”

“Free Cloud Daoist Manual: Level 5”

Techniques: 31 Variations – Intermediate”

Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and Master were the ranks to climb in terms of proficiency. In this short time, Pei Zi Yun had acquired all the experience and knowledge and thus his proficiency level had increased quite a fair bit. He could feel the strength and power within his veins, and he felt extremely comfortable. The original owner had absorbed many Dao Techniques by using the Plum Blossom, and Pei Zi Yun had inherited those techniques from his memories. Regardless of whether Pei Zi Yun inherited the techniques, or absorbed it directly from the legacies, it would be subjected to the aging of time. However, just like that Pei Zi Yun had saved five years of time.

“He he!” Pei Zi Yun went for dinner within the great hall before returning to his dormitory to study.

Pei Zi Yun did not speak to anyone the entire night. Early morning the next day, he left his dormitory and walked onto the open field. This was where the outer disciples were training. Pei Zi Yun glanced down at the vast land before him. He saw many disciples wearing their Daoist robes and practising various techniques. There were fist techniques and kicking techniques. This was the morning routine and it was extremely lively.

Pei Zi Yun looked for a space to fit himself into, and drew his new sword to get a feel for it. Without thinking twice, he imbued the sword with some of his inner Qi. The Qi was as thin as a strand of hair, and it delved into the blade of the sword. Pei Zi Yun then jabbed the sword forward.

“Chi!”

The sound of the sword splitting the air could be heard.

“Indeed! Pei Zi Yun realized that the feeling he got while wielding this sword was extremely different from other times. It was almost as if his inner Qi, moves, speed had all reached a high level of proficiency. It was almost as if he had cultivated these techniques for several decades.

“Again!”

“Chi!” This time, he felt a sense of proficiency that came with years of practice. Pei Zi Yun thought, "Having acquired experience and knowledge, the level of my techniques had risen considerably. I wonder if this will show in my practice?”

Just as he was thinking this, a flash of light gleamed in his eyes. Pei Zi Yun looked at the words that formed, "Free Cloud Sect Sword Technique : Advanced Level Completion 0.1%”

“Ever since I’ve acquired another additional petal, even though it was transparent, I can now start working on my advanced sword techniques?” Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, "It looks like as the amount of authority I receive increases, so will my skills and technique levels.”

“I wonder how powerful the initially completed Plum Flower was, and how many completed techniques were available for my use?”

“Ai, this aspect is blurred out. The original owner is keeping this from me again.” Initially, he didn’t experience anything like this and thus was unaware that the original owner was hiding things from him, and only releasing information a little at a time, on a need to know basis. Pei Zi Yun confirmed this, by thinking of that question again. The answer came back to him in the form of blurred out words.

“In the previous life the original owner had opened the gates of heavens and entered Free Cloud Sect through Zhao Ning. However, since his Dao Techniques were impure, he couldn't enter the nucleus or core of the sect.”

“This time, however, is different.” Pei Zi Yun was on the field. Seeing that nobody was observing him, he stopped practicing.

Song Zhi had reminded him yesterday that today he had to partake in a tea ceremony with his teacher. Should he have any questions then, he should ask his teacher. This was the instructions given to him by his teacher. Free Cloud Sect had a rich history and thus learning was of utmost importance. This was the difference between a sect member and a rogue cultivator.

“I’m almost going to be late. I shall leave now!”

Pei Zi Yun walked hurriedly to the last hall and saw Yu Yun Jun seated down. This time however, she wasn’t sitting atop the highest seat. There was nobody seated on the highest seat however. And Zhao Ning was sitting beside her.

Song Zhi stood by the side, as the little girl Chu Xia was boiling the tea. Serving tea for your teacher was a part of the induction ritual, and the main point of this was to pay respects and ask for guidance after the first day.

Pei Zi Yun went over to Chu Xia to take the teapot. He then poured it into a tea cup, and respectfully served the tea to his teacher before bowing to her.

Yu Yun Jun received the tea, and sniffed it once. She then used the lid of the teacup to fan the tea several times before blowing on it. She then asked, "You’ve already received the Free Cloud Dao manual yesterday, how’s the studying coming along? Are there any doubts you might wish to bring up?”

She smiled as she asked.

Hearing Yu Yun Jun’s words, Pei Zi Yun was thinking hard and fast in his head. Since he had the memories of the original owner, and the Plum Flower as his trump card, he thus understood everything. However, if he failed to hide it appropriately, and cultivated rapidly, he would raise some eyebrows and people might suspect that he had an innate treasure such as this. Then people would covet this prized gift. Now was a good time to start letting them think that he was gifted and was born talented. Then, he would not need to worry about anyone suspecting in the future.

Furthermore, he had been pure since birth, and he was within one of the biggest and most powerful sects around, he did not need to hide the fact that he was gifted. In fact, the stronger and more brilliant the was, the better. What’s more, he was the only disciple of Yu Yun Jun. Zhao Ning had already chosen Zhang Yun. Since positions were limited, should Pei Zi Yun be taken in under Zhao Ning, he would always remain number 2, unless Zhao Ning abandoned Zhang Yun.

This was the reason why he readily agreed to be Yu Yun Jun’s disciple in this life - different from the original owner. ‘I’m not even that close to Zhao Ning, and will not be his chosen disciple, what do I have to rely on?’

He then made up his mind as to what to do, "Wise teacher, when I returned to my dormitory to study last night, I started studying the manual and had finished reading it. I have no questions or doubts about it at all. It’s only that there are some highly sophisticated techniques, that I haven’t reached maximum proficiency. But I will soon.

Yu Yun Jun was only casually asking, and what she heard astonished her. Even Zhao Ning was laughing and trying not to spit his tea out. He looked at Pei Zi Yun doubtfully, and found it hard to believe.

When Zhao Ning himself had entered the sect, he had spent more than a month trying to figure out the manual. And here was Pei Zi Yun, who claimed to have finished it in a single night. He had some suspicions as to whether Pei Zi Yun was just boasting.

Yu Yun Jun paused for sometime to think, and wondered if what her disciple said could be true. She then smiled and said, "Since you’ve already understood it, why don’t you recite the entire first page of the Free Cloud Daoist Manual.”

Pei Zi Yun was full of confidence, having read and understood this countless of times in the previous life. He took a step forward, paused for a second, and started reciting it, "Through the Dao Arts, heaven and earth will be combined….”

Pei Zi Yun recited the entire page word for word, flawlessly. Yu Yun Jun and Zhao Ning’s faces changed, as if they did not dare to believe it. Song Zhi, who was standing by the side, was pinching his fingers together in anticipation. When he had first studied the book, it took him a whole five months before he could learn the manual. And this Pei Zi Yun had only spent one night in the dormitory. With such a genius around, how should he as a big senior brother have any face to command authority?

When Yu Yun Jun finished hearing him recite the first page, she thought for sometime, and wondered if it could just be a coincidence that he had memorized the first page. She then said, "Recite the 7th page.”

“Yes!” Pei Zi Yun then started reciting the 7th page, without missing a single word, and without making a single mistake. Yu Yun Jun was astonished, and did not bother concealing it.

Song Zhi looked at Pei Zi Yun, and thought for sometime. He then stepped forward and said, "Since you’ve already finished learning the entire manual, I wonder if you can actually demonstrate the skills of these manuals.”

Pei Zi Yun smiled respectfully and said, "Since I’ve finished learning it, of course I can demonstrate.”

Song Zhi stretched out a hand, and retrieved a dagger from his robes. He then ran the dagger through his inner forearm and opened a huge gash, "Since junior brother is so confident, please demonstrate the Sweet Dew Technique.”

The Sweet Dew Technique could be used to treat injuries, and was one of the most commonly used techniques within this sect. Although the amount of energy required to use this technique was very little, it required a great deal of understanding before the energy could be summoned and controlled. Pei Zi Yun smiled, and waved his hand over the open wound. There was a flash of light as it started to work its way around the gash. The wound healed gradually before their eyes.

Song Zhi found this hard to believe, and he ran his hands over where the gash had been and realized that it had been completely healed. His face was crestfallen, "Impossible. You must’ve learnt other Dao techniques from before this?”

Learning other Dao techniques before joining the sect suggested that Pei Zi Yun had learnt foreign techniques and joined the sect after, this implied that he was impure. It was not a small accusation. In fact, it was a grave one. Once an accusation like this had been confirmed, it destroyed all chances a person has of entering the nucleus of the sect.

Pei Zi Yun looked up at Song Zhi. The original owner had indeed learnt other Dao Techniques before joining the sect, but he himself did not. Before he could defend himself, the little girl Chu Xia looked at Song Zhi and said, "My junior brother is a genius and was gifted since birth. How can he have cultivated other techniques when he had always been with senior uncle Zhao. Unless you are casting doubts on senior uncle Zhao?”

Once she said this, Song Zhi’s face fell. Zhao Ning had heard Song Zhi’s words as well and his face remained cold, "I personally watched Pei Zi Yun grow up. Whatever you said about bringing other techniques into the sect, never bring it up again.”

The tone in his voice was firm and unwavering. It would be a joke if the person he watched grow up turned out to be a spy or a traitor.

Zhao Ning turned around and smiled at Pei Zi Yun, "How far have you progressed in your Hundred Beasts movements? Why don’t you demonstrate for us.”

He had heard how Pei Zi Yun had defeated Zhang Jie Yu, and even managed to kill him. He had thought that it was an overstatement. Seeing his power of comprehension while reciting the manual, he was astounded. Could this person really be a genius?

“Yes, after you Senior Uncle.” Pei Zi Yun looked at how Zhao Ning defended himself, and was about to call out a mistake in his move. He then remembered that he had just joined the sect, and was a disciple of Yu Yun Jun and not Zhao Ning. He then held his mouth.
