Chapter 66: Turning the Palm to Clouds and the Back to Rain (Part 2)

"Reporting to the Elder, the First Disciple did not teach me any new cultivation techniques. He only demonstrated the 'Biluo Heart Method' that I practiced when I first entered the sect and pointed out the flaws in the 'Moth Sword Technique' that I practiced," the disciple hurriedly said.

"Tell me the heart method that the First Disciple explained," the Great Elder Guitieshou said in a deep voice.

The disciple did not dare to delay and quickly recounted the heart method and the corrected techniques that Li Qiyi had explained to the Great Elder.

Hearing the disciple's account, Great Elder Guitieshou was visibly moved. In fact, not only was Great Elder Guitieshou moved, but the other elders and guardians present were also shocked and startled.

"Is this really the heart method that the First Disciple explained?" Great Elder Guitieshou could hardly believe it upon hearing the disciple's account.

"Reporting to the Elder, I dare not lie. It is absolutely true," the disciple said sincerely.

Guitieshou could not believe it and then randomly selected a few more disciples from the three hundred. The cultivation techniques and flaws in the techniques that these disciples described also shocked Guitieshou and the other elders and guardians present.

"Where is this a foundational heart method? This is a complete outline of the Great Dao!" Elder Qian, one of the six elders, said in disbelief.

Elder Wu also said in shock, "I have practiced Dao for over a thousand years and read the 'Biluo Heart Method' more than a hundred times, but I have never thought of understanding this heart method in such a way. Such an interpretation of the 'Biluo Heart Method' is likely its ultimate profundity, its true essence."

Elder Sun also supported Li Qiyi, saying, "If this is the evil path of the Demon Sect, then what we practice is the true evil path of the Demon Sect. No one in the world can interpret the foundational heart method with such profundity and grandeur!"

Elder Sun was not the first to witness Li Qiyi's miraculous abilities. Even hearing such an interpretation for the first time, he was still greatly moved. He supported Li Qiyi more than any other elder.

More elders and guardians were so shocked that they could hardly speak. The interpretation of the foundational heart method by Li Qiyi was extremely profound and unparalleled. The flaws in the techniques he pointed out were incisive. They had practiced Dao for hundreds, even thousands of years, and had not reached such a level. Today, they realized that even the most basic foundational heart method could be interpreted to such a level. Their previous insights were merely the surface of the foundational techniques.

"If I could have interpreted the 'Biluo Heart Method' to such a level back then, I would have been content to cultivate only this heart method for my entire life!" a guardian said, moved.

Guitieshou took a long time to recover. Everyone knew that Li Qiyi was an ordinary mortal, but he had interpreted the heart method to such a profound level, which no one could believe, even a genius might not have reached such a level! Such an interpretation was unparalleled.

"Is this really your interpretation?" Guitieshou found it hard to believe, looking at Li Qiyi with great emotion.

Li Qiyi smiled and said, "Reporting to the Elder, this is just a small insight, a minor understanding, not something profound."

Li Qiyi's words left Great Elder Guitieshou speechless. This was just a "small insight, a minor understanding," but to interpret the foundational heart method to such a level, the word "genius" was not enough to describe him; he could only be called a "prodigy"!

"Brother, it seems we have missed a genius. Qiyi's insight is extremely astonishing. Recently, I encountered some problems in my cultivation, and it was Qiyi who gave me valuable advice," Elder Sun said at this moment, supporting Li Qiyi and recounting his own experience.

Hearing Elder Sun's account, the guardians and elders present were all moved, finding it hard to believe.

"There used to be a rumor that constitution, lifespan, and destiny are not the only standards to measure a person. I never believed it before, thinking it was nonsense. But today, it seems the ancients did not deceive me," Elder Qian said, moved.

Elder Wu, one of the six elders, looked at Hall Master Zhou and said, "Hall Master Zhou, if this is the evil path of the Demon Sect, then there is no righteous path in the world. Even if you are confused, you shouldn't be confused to this extent."

"I..." The sudden reversal of the situation left Hall Master Zhou unprepared!

"This is not confusion; this is a conspiracy. For Hall Master Zhou, it doesn't matter what I taught; what matters is getting rid of me," Li Qiyi said at this moment, his voice low and solemn.

Guitieshou's gaze turned fierce, and his aura immediately intimidated Hall Master Zhou. He said in a deep voice, "Hall Master Zhou, what is going on here?" Just the interpretation of the foundational heart method by Li Qiyi was an invaluable asset to the declining Xianyan Ancient Sect. At this moment, Guitieshou was determined to protect Li Qiyi, realizing that Li Qiyi was as important as the marriage alliance.

"I, I, I..." Hall Master Zhou was momentarily speechless and glanced at Cao Xiong.

Seeing the situation turn against him, Cao Xiong immediately said in a deep voice, "Hall Master Zhou is dull, unable to see the profundity of the cultivation techniques! He deserves punishment, but this traitor is a rebel, killing three hall masters, Guardian Hu, and Jian'er. This cannot be forgiven!"

For Cao Xiong, today was a double loss. Not only did he fail to kill Li Qiyi, but his two disciples were also killed, especially He Yingjian, who was to inherit his legacy. The death of such a valued disciple made his heart bleed.

Li Qiyi said calmly, "If I had truly plotted rebellion, I would deserve death. Unfortunately, I was framed. First, Hall Master Zhou accused me of bringing the evil path of the Demon Sect into the Xianyan Ancient Sect without any evidence. Then, Guardian Hu suddenly led a group of enforcement disciples to kill me on the spot, without giving me a chance to defend myself. This is clearly a conspiracy..."

"Isn't this too coincidental? Isn't this to put me to death? How did Elder Cao and Old Dong come together? You two arrived before the other elders and guardians, and without any evidence, you tried to kill me. This is clearly to silence me. Elder Cao, are you colluding with the Holy Sky Sect? Betraying the sect and colluding with outsiders is a capital offense, a disgrace for eternity!"

Li Qiyi spoke confidently, leaving the disciples of Xishigou stunned. The First Disciple easily reversed the situation, showing such strategic prowess that it was terrifying, a wisdom as vast as the sea!

As a witness to the entire event, Li Shuangyan was even more moved. Li Qiyi's slaughter of the three hall masters and Guardian Hu was done without hesitation, and now he spoke confidently, easily reversing the situation. This was truly turning the palm to clouds and the back to rain. Moreover, he remained calm and composed throughout, making such a situation seem trivial to him, which left Li Shuangyan in awe.

At this moment, Li Shuangyan realized that Li Qiyi was not just mysterious; today, she truly witnessed his ability to manipulate others, which was like killing without spilling blood.

Even Tu Buyu, who had been silent, could not help but have a flicker in his eyes. He had lived for thousands of years, and today, he was moved by Li Qiyi's actions.

In fact, such small schemes were nothing to Li Qiyi. In the past, he had manipulated the world, which was a much greater feat!

"Rebel, you are still boasting at the brink of death..." Cao Xiong was so angry that he trembled. This plot was his own design, but now it had been turned against him, leaving him at a loss!

"Brother Cao, this matter is full of doubts. It is too hasty to call Qiyi a traitor," Great Elder Guitieshou said coldly. He least wanted to see Cao Xiong and Dong Shenglong working together, but now the answer was clear.

Not just Great Elder Guitieshou, but the other elders and guardians were also inclined to support Li Qiyi, lacking evidence to speak lightly.

"Brother, you can't really believe this rebel's words?" Cao Xiong was so angry that he spat blood. His carefully laid plans were in vain, and his two disciples were dead!

"This matter is full of doubts," Guitieshou said coldly. Without evidence, he could not accuse Cao Xiong of colluding with Dong Shenglong, but he was already very dissatisfied.

"Fine, fine, Guardian Hu and the others died in vain!" Cao Xiong said fiercely. At this moment, he played another card, saying in a deep voice, "Even if Hall Master Zhou is confused, this rebel's treachery is a fact. This rebel has stolen the 'Kunpeng Six Transformations'!"

"Stolen the 'Kunpeng Six Transformations'!" The guardians and elders present were all moved.

Great Elder Guitieshou's face also tightened, staring at Li Qiyi. The 'Kunpeng Six Transformations' was a core imperial technique of the Xianyan Ancient Sect and the only complete imperial technique left by the sect. This matter was significant and could not be taken lightly.

"Is this true?" Guitieshou stared at Li Qiyi, his voice deep. Mentioning the 'Kunpeng Six Transformations,' even Guitieshou had to be cautious.

"What is the 'Kunpeng Six Transformations'?" Li Qiyi said innocently.

"Elder, don't be deceived by him," Hall Master Zhou said loudly, seeing a chance to turn the situation around. "I saw him use the 'Heavenly Transformation' to escape from He Sheng's Thirty-Six Heavenly Sword Formation, it is absolutely true!"

"Is this what you are talking about?" At this moment, a Kunpeng rose from Li Qiyi's destiny palace, a fist-sized Kunpeng that was incredibly lifelike. As the Kunpeng rose, runes floated, and with its gentle movements, the star rivers shifted, as if placing one in another starry sky. Each transformation of the Kunpeng was profoundly mysterious, even the elders could not comprehend it!

Today, there were some matters, so the update is finished. Yesterday, I made a mistake, thinking it was Sunday. I will continue with three updates today, please support with your votes.
