Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Path of Yin Yang Five Elements, Han Li the Daoist Friend

"Is this the Cyan Origin Sect?"

A young man dressed in white, in the prime of his youth, looked surprised at the mysterious, vast, ancient aura of the Sect, feeling a multitude of emotions.

He had lived in the Qingtian Realm for decades and was visiting this place for the first time.

The sight of ancient trees and soaring spiritual cranes within the Cyan Origin Sect showed him what a true Immortal Land looked like for the first time.

This spirited young man was, of course, the tree-man avatar of Qi Ping.

Because he wanted to join the Sect, Qi Ping didn’t appear in the intimidating manner of Bee Daoist.

This appearance was specifically crafted when the tree-man avatar was formed, so it bore no trace of his true self—this look was the natural face of the tree-man avatar.

"It truly lives up to the reputation of a sect with a heritage exceeding ten thousand years, such magnificent aura and flavor of time cannot be formed overnight!"

"I hope I can successfully join the Cyan Origin Sect this time and learn its cultivation knowledge, especially regarding the breakthrough to the Golden Core..."

This was the purpose of Qi Ping’s visit to the Cyan Origin Sect.

Since contracting the Profound Cyan Snake and gaining the Extraordinary Eye and Extraordinary Comprehension Talent, enhanced by the Three-Colored Spirit of the Three-Colored Deer and other Divine Soul Talents, his understanding of cultivation techniques and arrays had become unstoppable. In just fifteen years, he had comprehended almost all the magic and knowledge he had collected, albeit not mastering them all but was able to mostly perform them.

The water and fire types of cultivation techniques and magic had been cultivated by Qi Ping to perfection!

Now, not only has Qi Ping realized the True Meaning of Water and Fire and Water and Fire Fusion to a new level, but he also created and mastered the Foundation Establishment Technique "Water and Fire Immortal Technique"!

The strength and foundation of this cultivation technique far exceed those of the "Golden Flame Technique" Qi Ping initially practiced!

Achieving this extent was not only due to having a vast amount of cultivation techniques and knowledge as references but also largely attributed to the powerful talent of the Profound Cyan Snake!

Qi Ping could only say that the Profound Cyan Snake, capable of stealthily learning the laws of heaven and earth, had terrifyingly powerful talent. If used well, it could indeed be called a Divine Skill! Combined with the Nether Moon Soul Wood and other talents to enhance Divine Soul Comprehension, this achievement was reached.

In terms of arrays, Qi Ping completed the highly difficult fusion of the Six Paths Array! Although currently limited to a Water and Fire Array, the power should suffice to challenge an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator.

However, at this step, it was the limit of what Qi Ping could achieve.

In fifteen years, Qi Ping had essentially digested all the knowledge captured, finding it hard to comprehend anything profound from it anymore.

Although it seemed like quite a lot, and he had acquired the knowledge vaults of numerous families, most of it was inferior. Being able to reach this step and deduce the "Water and Fire Immortal Technique" was due to Qi Ping possessing various talents.

To continue forward, Qi Ping must obtain more precious knowledge.

Especially regarding the breakthrough to the Golden Core, Qi Ping had not acquired any specific knowledge, and his cultivation was gradually approaching Foundation Establishment Perfection. Now he must prepare for the Golden Core breakthrough.

And in the Qingtian Realm, the only channel is Cyan Origin Sect. Compared to Cyan Origin Sect, the ancillary forces of the Immortal Alliance that Qi Ping had destroyed were not even qualified to carry the shoes of Cyan Origin Sect.

The accumulation of Cyan Origin Sect over tens of thousands of years was undoubtedly enough to elevate Qi Ping’s knowledge foundation to a whole new level!

The Mysterious Black Market could purchase a small amount of critical Golden Core Techniques and Golden Core knowledge, but with limited Black Market Points, Qi Ping sought that vast knowledge foundation solely from the Cyan Origin Sect. Elsewhere, Qi Ping currently couldn’t control the tree-man avatar to travel such a long distance.

A vast knowledge foundation is the basis for Qi Ping to ensure his courageous advancement on the Path of Immortality, not degenerating into a human-shaped medicine.

So after using fifteen years to digest almost everything and make all preparations, Qi Ping manipulated the tree-man avatar to set foot in the Cyan Origin Sect.

Meanwhile, Qi Ping’s true self continued to study the Water and Fire Techniques and the power of Yin and Yang in the Natural Sanctuary, while monitoring the little Stone Spirit’s critical metamorphosis after devouring all the Ore Spiritual Artifacts.

With the enrichment of Qi Ping’s knowledge foundation, he discovered that the Yin Yang power is subtly present within the Five Elements. If he could comprehend the true meaning of Yin Yang, further engrave the Yin Yang foundation, and form the Yin Yang Pill, then complete with the Golden Core to supplement earth and wood constitutions, and finally achieve the Yin Yang Five Elements body, cultivating the Path of Yin Yang Five Elements.

If successful, the future path of immortality would be smooth sailing!

However, whether this path can be achieved remains uncertain for Qi Ping, which is another reason for his visit to the Cyan Origin Sect—to find answers regarding the Yin Yang Five Elements!

Apart from that, Qi Ping also aims to spend the five million Spirit Stones he possesses to acquire items of genuine value for his current cultivation.

...

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask what brings you to the Cyan Origin Sect?"

Upon Qi Ping’s arrival at the Cyan Origin Sect’s gate, a Foundation Establishment Stage disciple of the Cyan Origin Sect stepped over the Qi Refining Stage disciples guarding the gate to greet him, clasping his hands in courtesy and inquiring about Qi Ping’s purpose.

During this, there was no incident of looking down on Qi Ping with arrogance. Instead, he was treated with the warmth of a spring breeze, reflecting the demeanor of a great Immortal Sect.

In fact, Qi Ping generally had a good impression of Cyan Origin Sect disciples, as when Qi Ping was still a lowly bee farmer, it was these disciples handling many matters of demon extermination and righteousness, which contributed to the peace of the Qingtian Realm during peaceful times.

"Hello, my name is Lin Ya, and I came to apply for entry into your esteemed sect..." Qi Ping, in turn, clasped his hands in ritual, stating his purpose.

"Applying to join the Cyan Origin Sect?" Upon hearing this, a tinge of surprise appeared on the face of the disciple receiving Qi Ping.

"It’s currently not the time for the sect to recruit disciples, joining right now requires much higher qualifications, but..."

The Cyan Origin Sect disciple, after scanning Qi Ping briefly, continued with relief:

"But upon observing that Fellow Daoist Ya, though young, has already reached late-stage Foundation Establishment, your talent seems extraordinary. If you can pass the test, there’s indeed a chance... Fellow Daoist Ya, please follow me!"

"I entrust my matters to you, may I ask your name?"

"Fellow Daoist Ya can call me Han Li..."

The courtesy from Han Li had its reason: Cyan Origin Sect had an existing rule that when encountering potential talents for discipleship, they must be treated with courtesy.

Subsequently, Qi Ping followed Han Li into the Cyan Origin Sect’s mountain gate, entering a majestic great hall.

This process was much smoother than Qi Ping imagined, without any troublesome inquiries.

"The Cyan Origin Sect’s outward manner of treating others is indeed impeccable..."

The current impression of the Cyan Origin Sect also made Qi Ping involuntarily nod in approval.

If he could join the Cyan Origin Sect by relying on his talents, it would be the best for Qi Ping, as using the token given by the Silver-faced Golden Core cultivator would basically expose his Bee Daoist identity, potentially leading to unforeseen risks and constraints.

Practicing in Cyan Origin Sect as an ordinary disciple would allow him to better learn knowledge and trade items, while slowly understanding the actual nature of the Cyan Origin Sect from within.

Under the management of Han Li, a mid-stage Foundation Establishment disciple, the test commenced quickly, and Qi Ping soon understood why he was not subjected to any inquiries.

The entrance test of the Cyan Origin Sect involved two aspects: a qualification test and a Heart-Questioning Mirror test. Only those who passed both the qualification and mindset tests could join the sect.

Soon, Han Li led Qi Ping to an area in front of a crystal stone emanating a mysterious aura.

The literature Qi Ping read had mentioned this as a qualification testing crystal which could evaluate a person’s cultivation qualification and Divine Soul qualification.

"Fellow Daoist Ya, you just need to place your hand on the testing crystal!"

"Alright!"

Qi Ping nodded and without any hesitation placed his hand on the testing crystal. Fortunately, it was merely a tree-man avatar, and if an anomaly were to cause its self-destruction or explosion, he would simply use the token given by the Silver-faced Golden Core cultivator to join the Cyan Origin Sect.

As Qi Ping’s palm made contact with the testing crystal, four shockingly intense beams of light erupted from the testing crystal!
