Chapter 12 - Mysterious Silk

　　Yi Garden, in the Yi Tian Pavilion. At this moment, nine people were gathering, and these nine people were Sect Master Xuan Yu Zhenren, and the four courtyard masters. The remaining four people were disciples of the four courtyards, one from each courtyard. They were Li Hongfei from the Qian courtyard, Zhang Aoxue from the Kun courtyard, Lu Yun from the Yang courtyard, and Lin Yunfeng from the Yin courtyard. 　　As soon as Realist Xuan Yu came back this morning, he learned about yesterday's events from Realist Qian Yuan, so he immediately called the four heads of the four courtyards of Yi Yuan, as well as the four most outstanding disciples. Among these people, among them, that Li Hongfei was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, quite handsome, with divine light contained in his eyes, and his cultivation level was very astonishing. Li Hongfei's mouth hanging a hint of lonely cold smile, appearing cold and arrogant exceptionally, for that Lu Yun and Lin Yunfeng did not even look at a glance, his eyes have been gazing at Zhang Ao Xue, the expression is very residence proud. 　　Looking at a few people, Xuan Yu real person opened his mouth: "Unexpectedly yesterday I left, this thing happened, perhaps it is really the will of heaven. I went to the Confucian Garden yesterday to have a lie down, and talked about it with Hao Yun Jushi. From the current situation of our two gardens, it seems that we still have to work hard this time, or else we are afraid that it will not be so easy for us to win the martial arts competition a year later. In addition, Mr. Hao Yun also revealed a message, according to the news from the Taoist Garden, the sky has changed recently, the Big Dipper seven stars began to reverse, there will be a calamity on earth, everyone should be vigilant. From us, what happened yesterday has also begun to hint that a great chaos is coming, and we have to be careful to prevent offenses. Now if you have any comments to make with your ideas, just bring them up and discuss them together." 　　Master Jing Yue said softly, "I wonder if Senior Brother could learn about the situation of the disciples under the disciples of the other several courtyards this time when he traveled to the Confucian Garden. What are the more formidable opponents that we will be facing a year from now? In addition the sword that Ao Xue obtained this time, I would also like to ask senior brother to take a closer look at it and see if he can tell us its origin." 　　Realist Xuan Yu said, "With regards to the news that I got from Resident Hao Yun yesterday, this time around, there are quite a few outstanding teenage experts in each of the six courtyards. Among them, it is said that there are three very outstanding talents in the Heavenly Sword Courtyard, the most famous one is named Jian Wuchen, and it is said that he has already practiced the Heavenly Sword Courtyard's finest 'Heavenly Sword Nine Techniques' to the eighth technique, and it is thought that in a year's time, I'm afraid that it will be a great success, which is extremely rare in the world. As for the Bodhi Zen Academy, it was said that two teenage masters had also emerged, all of them mysterious and incomparable, harboring the supreme skills of the Buddhist Sect. 　　As for the Taoist Garden, the Confucian Garden and the Phoenix Academy, they have all produced two or three very outstanding talents, so this time the martial arts conference will be very severe. It will not be easy for us to fight for a place in the conference. Among these five academies, besides Jian Wuchen of the Heavenly Sword Academy, Benyi of the Bodhi Zen Academy, Wuhui of the Taoist Garden, Bitian of the Confucian Garden, and Cangyue of the Phoenix Academy are all very famous young masters. Their cultivation is not at all inferior to those experts who have cultivated for a hundred years, so we have to be careful. 　　As for the divine sword in Ao Xue's hand, I only took one look at it and knew the origin of that sword. That sword is said to be exactly in a thousand years ago, at that time, a name of the dragon fairy left behind the divine weapon, named purple shadow. It was said to be magical and incomparable, known as one of the three great divine swords in the world, side by side with the other 'Whistling Moon Divine Sword'. In terms of the cultivation world, it was the most legendary divine sword. In the cultivation world, this pair of swords was called the Shadow Moon Twin Swords. Ao Xue can get this sword, it is also considered a supreme fate, so he should work hard in the future. As for the rest of you, it doesn't matter if you don't have a divine sword, the cultivation world emphasizes your own cultivation, so as long as you work hard, you can reach the highest realm as well. Now from the Six Courts Martial Arts Conference, there is still one year to go, in this year, you guys have to focus on your respective cultivation, so that you can fight for the glory of Yi Garden in the future." 　　Master Jing Yue's face was delighted at his words, on the contrary, Zhang Ao Xue's face was calm and didn't have much expression. The three teenagers on the side all looked at Ao Xue's incomparably beautiful jade face with different expressions in their eyes. Lu Yun had a strange light in his eyes, thinking that he should probably look for a weapon. On the other hand, Li Hongfei's eyes revealed a hint of burning heat, seemingly revealing a hint of adoration within. 　　Xuan Yin Zhen Zhen spoke at this time, ''Senior brother, yesterday, in order to seal that cold pool, I had performed the Soul Shocking Technique, temporarily sealing the place. Now that senior brother is back, when do you plan to cast the spell again to seal the place properly? This matter is different from the ordinary, and one needs to be careful so that unnecessary things don't happen in the future." 　　Next to him, Ziyang Zhenran spoke, "This matter was not permitted by senior brother as it was a matter of great importance at the time, it was decided by the four of us on an ad hoc basis, so I hope that senior brother will forgive us. At the same time this time, it is not advisable to leak it out so as not to cause unrest among the people, that would be extremely unfavorable to us as well." 　　The Xuan Yu Zhenren pondered for a while and softly said, "This time, you guys handled the matter very correctly, how could I blame you? As for this matter, it is indeed inadvisable to divulge it, we must take care of this matter immediately. At the same time, Senior Brother Xuan Yin will immediately rush to Shunan tomorrow to deal with the frequent appearance of ghosts and spirits there, and make sure that this matter is dealt with properly and not allowed to expand. The human world is about to be in great chaos, at this critical moment, we must always be vigilant, and improve our cultivation at all times, in order to cope with the sudden catastrophe. Now does everyone have anything else to do, if not go back individually and intensify your cultivation in order to improve your own cultivation." 　　Realist Qian Yuan opened his mouth and asked, "One year from now, how many people from our Yi Garden will be there, to participate in that Six Courts Martial Arts Conference? Thinking about the past, it has already been fifty years, every single competition in these five sessions has always ended with our Yi Garden's defeat at the end of the list, I believe that this time will not be like the past. Fifty years, ah, what a fast time!" The crowd sniffed in silence, yes, fifty years, what a fast time. These fifty years had been the shame of Yi Garden, the time that made Yi Garden's heart ache for it ah. 　　Realist Xuan Yu sighed softly and said, "This time, send four people to participate, there is no need to go too many. It's useless to have more people, what matters is how their cultivation is. I hope that for the four disciples standing here today, one year from now you will all have changed in another way, and your respective cultivation will have risen by a stage before you can hope to fight against the experts from the other five courtyards, and compete for the glory of our Yi Garden. Work hard, I hope you won't let me down, now the four of you go down first." 　　After exiting the Yi Tian Pavilion, Lu Yun looked at Li Hong Fei and said softly, "Hello Senior Brother Li, I am Lu Yun who is new for a year, I hope that Senior Brother will take care of me in the future." Li Hongfei nodded slightly and did not reply, looking extremely conceited, he glanced at Zhang Aoxue and turned to leave. 　　Seeing him leave, Lin Yunfeng said unconvincingly, "What's there to be proud of, it's just a few more years of practicing. Lu Yun, don't pay any attention to him, you've achieved so much in a year's time, what's so hard about waiting a few years to catch up to him. He's not proud of anything, he's just pretending to be indifferent, I don't even want to pay attention to him. What's the big deal, to put it bluntly, when it comes to catching demons and ghosts, he, ah, is far worse than me." 　　Lu Yun laughed, "You ah, is impulsive, senior brother maybe character is so only, wait for the future we meet more time, after familiarization is not like this. We'd better go back individually and cultivate well, I hope this year can still be refined. Ao Xue senior sister take care, next time I hope there will be another opportunity to work together to cut down the demons and eliminate the devils." 　　Zhang Ao Xue glanced at the two of them and faintly whispered, "I hope, the two senior brothers take care and work harder. With your current cultivation level, compared to senior brother Li, there is still a big distance, in the future you will understand." After saying that, he turned around and drifted away. 　　Time, for people who cultivate, is a lot faster than normal people. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and during these three months, Lu Yun had been cultivating diligently under the supervision of Realist Ziyang. Three months down the line, Lu Yun's "Twelve Secrets of Yi Tian" had already entered the tenth secret, and the Split Flame Heavenly Deity Sword Skill was already able to utilize ten layers of power. This made Ziyang Zhenran overjoyed, and he had been praising him and valuing him very highly, putting all his thoughts on him. 　　And in these three months, Shu Nan has been non-stop appearing, a large number of ghosts and Yin souls, Xuan Yin real person has gone three times, but still can only temporarily suppress a moment. As soon as he left, those ghosts and spirits appeared again on a large scale, causing Yi Yuan a great headache. It wasn't until the last time that Xuan Yu Zhen Zhen intervened that the passageway where the ghosts and spirits appeared was closed, temporarily stopping the matter. 　　In addition, from the world of cultivation, also frequently rumors about the infestation of demons and evil, it seems that things have been very serious. At this time, the head of the six academies of the Heavenly Sword Academy, has already summoned the world of cultivation world, to everyone to raise vigilance, pay attention to that at any time the mutation. Many famous figures in the cultivation world have gone to the places infested with demons and evils to do their best to stop the phenomenon of rampant demons. 　　In the Yi Garden, inside the Yang Courtyard, the Ziyang Realist looked at Lu Yun and said with a smile on his face, "Your achievements have surpassed my master's imagination, it is truly amazing. Regarding your progress in the past three months, Master did not tell anyone, I wanted to surprise them at that time and let them know that our Yang Courtyard is not easy to deal with. Now that your sword technique has been finalized, you only need to intensify your cultivation of the technique, and the rest of the time is up to you. If you have any needs, you can tell Master, and if you can do it, Master will definitely fulfill your heart's desire." 　　Lu Yun looked at Ziyang Zhenren and said with a faint smile, "I remember that last time in that Yin Soul Forest, Master Xuan Yin had performed the 'Yi Tian Soul Shocking Technique' once, which was very magical. I wonder if Master can perform that technique? I am very curious about that, I once heard senior sister Ao Xue say that our Yi Garden has four secret techniques, I wonder if master can tell me something about that?" 　　When Ziyang Zhenren heard this, his face was slightly ugly, looking at the sky he sighed slightly and said, "Since you want to know, there is no harm in telling you. In the Yi Garden, there are indeed four major secret techniques, each house has one secret technique. And Fluttershy is the only one that has a secret skill from our Yang Courtyard, which no one has ever succeeded in cultivating in the past thousand years. Therefore, among the four courtyards of Yi Garden, it would not be an exaggeration to say that our Yang Courtyard is the weakest one. All along, the Yang Courtyard hasn't produced any outstanding talents, which is why, the Yang Courtyard has always ranked last in the Qian Kun Yin Yang." 　　Lu Yun asked with a surprised look on his face, "I wonder why that is? Could it be that our Yang Courtyard's secret techniques, spells are incomplete, or something else. Why else, has no one ever succeeded in cultivating it?" 　　Ziyang Zhenren sighed slightly and said, "After so many years, you are the only most outstanding person in our Yang Academy. Since you're interested, then I'll let you take a look at that spell. I hope you can gain something and change the history of our Yang Academy, where no one has been able to practice the secret technique. Let's go, you'll understand once you see it." After saying that, he led Lu Yun into his room. 　　Inside the room, Ziyang Zhenren carefully took out a jade box, only the size of a palm, from the inner room. Gently opening that jade box, Lu Yun carefully looked at what was inside, surprisingly, it was just a piece of dark red silk with countless patterns and words drawn on it, but unfortunately, it was not really visible. 　　Ziyang Zhenren handed that silk to Lu Yun and spoke, "What's written on it is the secret skill of this sect - the Five Thunders Positive Heaven Technique! For so many years, other than being able to see the five characters of the Five Thunders Positive Heavenly Skill clearly, the rest of the things are blurry and incomparable, no matter how you look at it you can't see it clearly, so for thousands of years, no one has ever succeeded in practicing it. After so many years, no one has ever solved the mystery hidden on this silk, I hope you can gain something. Take it back and look at it yourself, just remember not to lose it, and return it to your master three months later." 　　Lu Yun looked at his hand, the magical silk that kept changing colors, his heart slightly pondered. He remembered that before he came here, his master had mentioned this "Five Thunders Positive Heavenly Skill", saying that it was the world's most masculine magic skill, and could restrain all the evil demons in the world, which was very magical. Now, it seemed that it was indeed a hidden mystery that could not be deciphered by ordinary people. 　　Lu Yun softly said, "Thank you Master, disciple will go back first and take a look, hopefully I can find a hint to help Master crack this silk mystery." After saying that, he got up and left. 　　Returning to his room, Lu Yun closed the doors and windows tightly, and alone, he slowly took out the magical silk and carefully explored it. The light flowed on this silk, and a layer of mysterious aura vaguely concealed what was going on, making it impossible to really see. Lu Yun slightly held the silk and tried to input the true essence of the Yi Tian Technique inside to see if there was any result. With the input of true essence, the silk slowly emitted a greenish-colored light, but unfortunately, the patterns and words on it still could not be seen clearly. 　　Lu Yun retracted his true essence, the silk returned to its original state, really strange and incomparable. After thinking for a while, only this time, Lu Yun began to input the Taoist "Tai Xuan Heaven Splitting Dao" true essence, and carefully watched the silk change, but unfortunately, although the color is a little different, but the result is the same, nothing can be seen clearly. Then, Lu Yun once again input the Buddhist, Confucian, Devil Sect and Ghost Sect's techniques, but unfortunately, it was still the same, there was no progress. This made Lu Yun a little alarmed, he is now a person set six door skills in one, but also take the silk has no way, it seems that this is really mysterious, no wonder for more than a thousand years, Yi Garden has been unable to crack the mystery of this silk. 　　Quietly lying on the bed, Lu Yun's eyes, suddenly flashed a black glow, very evil. At this moment, Lu Yun was still unwilling to give up, and finally decided to utilize the Demon Sect's "Heart's Desire Without Trace" technique, wanting to use his thought waves to detect the secret of the silk. Lu Yun instantly sent out seven Divine Waves of Thoughts, each with a different frequency, from the lowest of 240 per instant, to the highest of 18,000 per instant, divided into seven different segments and explored at different frequencies. 　　Lu Yun only felt that six of the seven Idea God Waves he sent out were instantly reflected back. The only one that was still exploring at a high speed was the one to the idea that was sent out 18,000 times per instant. Lu Yun was delighted, yet shocked, knowing that this method worked, but he had to also raise the frequency of his Idea God Wave before he could do so. Unexpectedly, on this silk, there was a layer of extremely high-frequency Idea Waves, which was firmly isolating it from the world, no wonder that he couldn't see clearly, the patterns and words on it. 　　Quieting his mind, Lu Yun sat cross-legged with the five mountains facing the sky. Lu Yun instantly will that frequency, raise to twenty-four thousand times per instantaneous breath, in his heart thought that this one should be able to detect some news. But to his surprise, although there was a little progress this time, he was still unable to break through the defense of that layer of thought waves and enter inside. Lu Yun's face changed slightly, and his defiance caused him to, once again, raise the frequency to, 36,000 times per instant, but the result was still the same. In the end, Lu Yun had been raising the frequency of the idea wave to 108,000 times per instantaneous breath, before he could barely enter the inside of that layer of idea wave, and saw some patterns and words, but unfortunately, Lu Yun couldn't support it anymore after only supporting it for a little while, and had to give up. 　　Looking at himself covered in sweat and soaked through his clothes, Lu Yun was so tired that he didn't want to move. How could he not have imagined that on top of this silk, there was such a layer of incredibly high frequency thought waves. It made him unable to support himself even after he tried his best to enter it for just a moment. It seemed that he still had to work hard on his own cultivation. Originally, Lu Yun was already very satisfied with his current cultivation level, but when he tried it at this time, he was still far from it. At this time, Lu Yun had already begun to enter the ninth realm of the ten realms of cultivation - the primary stage of indestructibility. To say that his cultivation level was already extremely astonishing, it was only stronger than that of the Ziyang Realist, so it should be pretty good. After all, he was still so young and had such a cultivation level, it was extremely rare in the entire cultivation world and had never been seen before. 　　Slowly running his energy to recover his depleted True Essence, only to see Lu Yun's body surrounded by countless multicolored auras that instantly converged and were swarming towards him at a rapid pace. If that scene had been seen by anyone, they would have been astonished beyond measure. In fact, this was Lu Yun's family heirloom mastery - Heaven and Earth Wuji. There were nine levels of Heaven and Earth Wuji, and the fifth level was the "Ten Thousand Yuan Returns to One" realm. The biggest feature of this realm was that when recovering true essence, one could directly absorb the hidden heaven and earth aura in the air, instantly recovering lost true essence at a speed that no other technique could match. 　　At this time, Lu Yun had already started to enter the seventh level of the "Heaven and Earth Without Limit" realm, "Heaven and Earth with Spring", and his cultivation level was extremely high. At this moment, the various colors of light around him were instantly absorbed by him, and the surrounding aura instantly disappeared into his body. And Lu Yun quickly recovered, once again looking at the magical silk in his hand. 　　From here on out, Lu Yun cultivated his various techniques while raising his Idea Divine Wave in order to try and solve the mystery of the silk. Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and at this time, Lu Yun had already solved the silk's mystery and obtained the heart secret of the "Five Thunders Heavenly Secret" hidden inside. At the same time, his Idea Divine Wave had also taken a qualitative leap. Now, he could already send out a fluctuation frequency of 248,000 times per instant to detect everything. This made his Spiritual Sense, which had increased by four times at once, a very rare occurrence. 　　Lu Yun returned the silk to the Ziyang Realist and said softly, "This object is mysterious and cannot be unlocked in a short period of time. Disciples in March, have already found a little trace of it, but unfortunately, the ability is limited, no is unable to do anything about it." 　　Ziyang Zhenran's face was delighted at his words and asked in surprise, "What did you say? You have discovered some clues? What is it, quickly tell me." The Violet Sun Realist looked extremely excited, perhaps because he was too happy. 　　Lu Yun softly said, "Disciple discovered that this layer of flowing light above this silk is actually a layer of True Element, or rather a layer, extremely difficult to break through, of high-speed rotating airflow waves. As long as you can break through this air flow wave, you can detect the patterns and words inside, and thus learn the above techniques. This layer of airflow waves, in fact, is extremely likely to be that an ancestor left behind the prohibition, extremely difficult to crack. Leave this to the forbidden ancestors, I'm afraid is a bit of Tao ascension immortal, otherwise its forbidden will not be so overbearing and difficult to solve. This is my humble opinion, and I'm not sure it's right." 　　Zi Yang heard this and his face revealed an expression of deep thought. After a while, he could only be heard murmuring, "It turns out that we have been mistaken all along, we have always thought that as long as we input our own true essence into it, this ever-changing light will slowly become clear, so that we can see the patterns and words on it clearly, but I can't imagine that we have understood it incorrectly. It turns out that what we have to do is how to break through this layer of light and make it disappear from this, that way we can see the patterns and words on it." 　　Zi Yang Zhen Zhen suddenly looked up and said, "Lu Yun, thank you for this insight, you go down and cultivate first, I'll go and find Master Sect Leader." After saying that, he rushed out of the room and headed towards the Yi Tian Pavilion. 　　Lu Yun looked at Ziyang Zhenren's distant back and smiled faintly as he flipped the palm of his right hand, and in an instant, a ball of lightning that flashed with electric light appeared in the center of his hand, flashing with an eye-catching luster. With a slight flip of his palm, that ball of thunder instantly disappeared without a trace, Lu Yun smiled bashfully and slowly walked out. 　　After exiting the room, Lu Yun glanced at the surrounding area which was deserted, he couldn't help but smile faintly, his body instantly transformed into a green light and appeared in the clouds, quietly standing thousands of feet above the Yi Garden. The first time he stood above the void like this, Lu Yun had a marvelous feeling in his heart, as if the heavens and the earth were under his feet. With a show of his hands, Lu Yun stopped in the middle of the clouds, looking at the white sea of clouds around him, he couldn't help but let out a soft whistle, extremely low but extremely distant. 　　Only to see Lu Yun's body instantly erupt in a ball of light, first a five-colored glow, followed by a seven-colored haze that instantly appeared on his body. At this moment, Lu Yun was like a ball of light emitting seven-colored light, very beautiful and mysterious. The surrounding white clouds were also dyed with a layer of seven-colored haze in an instant, very beautiful. Unfortunately, it was extremely short-lived and disappeared in just a moment. 　　Lu Yun was in the clouds, looking at the beauty of the surroundings, his heart was overjoyed. Looking slightly at the Yi Garden below, Lu Yun first had a frank smile in his eyes, but soon revealed a contemplative expression as he carefully surveyed the Yi Garden. Looking down from here, one could see many things that could not normally be seen, so it was only at this moment that Lu Yun realized a secret of the Yi Garden, that he had not discovered in the past. 　　Looking down from here, Lu Yun saw the overall layout of the Yi Garden clearly, that was something he had not noticed before at all. The entire Yi Garden was shrouded in a cloud of five-colored haze, that five-colored haze that was invisible to the eyes of a normal person. However, Lu Yun's cultivation was profound and had improved greatly from when he first arrived, so that haze appeared extraordinarily clear at this moment. 　　What surprised Lu Yun the most wasn't the haze, as Yi Garden was one of the most famous six courtyards in the world of cultivation, and it was only natural for it to have formations placed around its location. What really surprised Lu Yun was that hidden underneath the haze, which was extremely difficult to detect even for cultivators, was the trace of aura. It was only at this moment that Lu Yun truly understood why the Yi Garden had been located here for thousands of years. Because this Yi Garden's establishment, is a spiritual vein location, although the aura is somewhat dispersed and weak, but it is rare in the world. 　　At this moment, Lu Yun remembered his ancestor's words that day. He remembered that his ancestor had said that there were a total of nine great spiritual veins in the world, except for the first three spiritual veins that were the most concentrated and dense. The remaining six spiritual veins are like the Yangtze River and Yellow River, with countless branches, spread between the major spiritual mountains and waters. And this easy garden garden place, is a spiritual vein on the main trunk. No wonder for so many years, easy garden can every period of time, there are a lot of outstanding talents. Thinking about it, I'm afraid that the other five of the six courtyards in the world all had the same situation, being hidden on the side of a spiritual vein. 　　Slightly raising his head, Lu Yun looked at the heavens, a trace of perseverance flowing from his eyes, and a hint of a proud smile, displayed on that handsome face. With his hands slightly behind his back, Lu Yun stood quietly amongst the white clouds and kept looking at the sky, at this moment, he seemed to be provoking the sky. That slender figure, that cold and arrogant demeanor, was slowly showing his determination to fight against the heavens. 　　Lu Yun, a young man who was determined to fight against the heavens, stood quietly between heaven and earth just like that. The surrounding clouds were misty, the haze flashed, and a ray of sunlight shone on Lu Yun's body, but it reflected seven different kinds of light, which was very beautiful. Unfortunately, this beautiful moment was not seen by anyone.
