"Uncle Fu!" Xiao Yun looked at the white-haired old man in front of him and respectfully saluted.
Uncle Fu quickly stepped aside and smiled bitterly, saying, "Young Master, please don't trouble this old servant."
Xiao Yun felt a bit helpless. After all, he was a kind-hearted young man who respected the elderly. Judging by the other party's age, he could probably be his ancestor, so he naturally had to show respect.
However, in the world of cultivation, the hierarchical system was incredibly strict.
Xiao Yun could only do his best to adapt and said, "Please guide me, Uncle Fu, to familiarize myself with Emperor Peak."
This would be his future residence, so he needed to get familiar with it. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to find a toilet when he needed to relieve himself.
The place was so beautiful, and he couldn't just defecate by the roadside. That would be highly uncivilized.
"Young Master, please don't be polite. It is my duty." Uncle Fu smiled and said, his eyes filled with joy. After so many years, the old master had finally taken an apprentice, and not just any apprentice but the divine child of their Chaos Holy Land. This was truly an unparalleled genius.
Immediately, Uncle Fu respectfully led Xiao Yun to tour the entire Emperor Peak.
Along the way, they saw that the palaces were all empty. Xiao Yun couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Uncle Fu, why are there so many palaces built here, but no one lives in them?"
Uncle Fu sighed upon hearing this and said with deep emotion, "In the past, the old master was known as the strongest son of the Chaos Holy Land, and countless people followed him. That's why so many palaces were built here. However, over the years, those followers either died of old age or left the master, leaving only me."
Xiao Yun suddenly realized. Emperor Tian was already nine hundred years old, so most likely, his followers had either died or surpassed him in cultivation and could no longer follow him.
Continuing to explore Emperor Peak with Uncle Fu, Xiao Yun also saw many celestial birds and spirit beasts, as well as some golden rice, adding vitality to the peak.
Uncle Fu introduced, "Young Master, since you haven't undergone fasting yet, these celestial birds, spirit beasts, and spirit rice will be your food in the future."
Xiao Yun's eyes lit up at the mention of this. These were all precious things. Joining the Chaos Holy Land was truly wonderful.
You see, it was difficult to find such exotic treasures in the outside world.
Moreover, although these celestial birds and spirit beasts seemed obedient now, their actual strength was formidable. One hundred current Xiao Yuns combined wouldn't be a match for them.
Therefore, Xiao Yun hadn't been able to enjoy such delicacies in recent years, but now he could finally indulge himself.
...
Emperor Peak is huge, and by evening, Xiao Yun finally finished exploring it. He followed Fu Bo back to the Heavenly Hall.
Upon entering the Heavenly Hall, Xiao Yun saw his benevolent master, Emperor Tian , tinkering with a bronze cauldron that was as tall as three people. At that moment, Emperor Tian was releasing three types of True Fire to refine the cauldron.
A refreshing aroma wafted from the cauldron, invigorating Xiao Yun's spirit.
"Disciple!" Emperor Tian smiled upon seeing Xiao Yun's return. "This is the Foundation Building Elixir I prepared for you. It contains the accumulated celestial treasures and even the blood of a dragon. It will undoubtedly allow you to cultivate a powerful body."
Fu Bo, standing by the side, explained to Xiao Yun, "Young Master, the first realm of cultivation is 'Body Refinement.' For us cultivators, the physical body is crucial. Only with a strong body can you have smooth progress in your cultivation journey."
Xiao Yun nodded with a hint of understanding.
Emperor Tian , with a solemn expression, spoke earnestly, "Disciple, as the saying goes, a thousand-story tower rises from a flat ground. The foundation of cultivators is vital, and the first realm, 'Body Refinement,' is the time to establish that foundation. The stronger and more solid your foundation, the limitless your achievements will be in the future."
Xiao Yun nodded in full understanding this time. Just like a tall building, if the foundation is unstable, it may collapse even with a minor earthquake. Therefore, the foundation is crucial.
"Fu, come and help me refine!" Emperor Tian beckoned Fu Bo and entrusted him with the task of refining the cauldron. He himself took Xiao Yun and sat cross-legged on a nearby cushion.
By now, the sky had completely darkened, and countless stars sparkled in the night, projecting starlight that adorned the entire Emperor Peak with a beautiful and hazy glow.
Emperor Tian looked at Xiao Yun, who was seated across from him, with a serious expression. "Disciple, I will now impart to you the 'Chaos Scripture.' However, you must first swear that you will never divulge the 'Chaos Scripture' without the permission of the Saint Lord."
Xiao Yun nodded and understood that this technique was the highest treasure of the Chaos Sect and must not be leaked.
Immediately, Xiao Yun made a solemn oath.
After seeing Xiao Yun's oath, Emperor Tian smiled faintly and pointed a finger at Xiao Yun's brow. "Disciple, focus your mind and comprehend the 'Chaos Scripture' seriously."
Xiao Yun closed his eyes hastily and, worried that his talent and aptitude might be insufficient, immediately used 'Sudden Enlightenment.'
"The universe holds profound truths that are difficult to perceive. All things are not truly all things but part of a unified whole..." The verses of the Chaos Scripture appeared vividly in Xiao Yun's mind, just like when he first comprehended the 'Chaos Induction.'
Moreover, while in the state of sudden enlightenment, Xiao Yun's thinking became extremely clear. In the process of comprehending the 'Chaos Scripture,' inspirations constantly emerged in his mind. Whenever he encountered difficulties, he immediately felt a sense of enlightenment.
It could be said that in this state of sudden enlightenment, Xiao Yun was in perfect harmony with the Great Dao of Chaos. Therefore, he encountered no difficulties in comprehending this scripture; it was as easy as eating and drinking.
On the side, Emperor Tian smiled as he watched Xiao Yun, who had closed his eyes. Fu Bo, who was refining the cauldron, was nervous and stared at Xiao Yun.
"Don't worry, with Xiao Yun's aptitude, he should be able to comprehend the first level of the 'Chaos Scripture' within three days," Emperor Tian said with a confident smile, noticing Fu Bo's anxiety.
Fu Bo whispered, "Master, it took you seven days to comprehend the first level of the 'Chaos Scripture.' That was already the fastest record. If the Young Master cannot surpass that, it means he won't be able to surpass you in the future."
Emperor Tian replied with self-assurance, "Rest assured, Xiao Yun made the Chaos Bell chime nine times. Therefore, he should be able to comprehend the first level of the 'Chaos Scripture' within three days."
However, at that moment, the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly surged and converged towards Xiao Yun, as if numerous rivers were flowing towards him as he sat in meditation.
In an instant, Xiao Yun's whole body was enveloped in spiritual energy, and his body floated in mid-air, emitting white radiance.
"How is this possible?" Emperor Tian 's eyes widened in astonishment, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Xiao Yun.
Fu Bo, on the other hand, gasped and couldn't believe his eyes. "Body Refinement through Spirit Infusion! Young Master has comprehended the first level of the 'Chaos Scripture'? My goodness, how long has it been? Just a few minutes!"
"Even the most talent man can't reach him" Emperor Tian 's eyes gleamed as he stared at Xiao Yun in mid-air, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
