Chapter 461: Chapter 11: Taoist Sect Breaks Rules Frequently to Transfer Powers, Guan Yi Must Kill This Person_2

The divination didn’t just foresee the future; it displayed more of what lay in the heart’s capacity.

Looking at Li Guanyi, he said, "Qian, fire, lake, revolution."

"What a ’rebel’ heart."

Originally, traveling from the sub-branch of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect to Zhenbei City wasn’t far, but for some reason, the journey that should have taken only a few days stretched nearly to a month.

The silver-haired girl simply drove the ox cart quietly.

The ox cart approached Zhenbei City in a subtle curved trajectory, spiraling closer.

With the discreet help of Shaking Light, seven to eight days were delayed to nearly a month.

They neared the Zhenbei Pass and did not deceive the Taoist Sect.

But the day the Taoist Sect said the path to Zhenbei Pass was to pass on the teaching, they didn’t specify how they’d approach Zhenbei Pass.

Shaking light seized this loophole.

In that month, the Taoist Sect taught Li Guanyi the "Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture."

With Qian Trigram leading, each subsequent transmission of a new martial arts maneuver required integration with the Qian Trigram. The more he mastered, the more complicated and exponentially larger the previous learning became.

Li Guanyi was proficient in martial arts and strategic tactics but not in mystical techniques or formations.

Given his foundation in mystical arts, even extending to a month, he could only master a single Qian trigram.

However, due to Shaking Light’s presence, the Taoist Sect was forced to break their rules repeatedly.

Every glance in that direction revealed the main instigator behind Li Guanyi’s rapid advances in his cultivation techniques.

The silver-haired girl just sat there quietly, her delicately non-human face expressionless, her eyes wide, even without expression, they seemed innocent, which only made the Taoist Sect sigh in helplessness.

About every five days, a new technique was transmitted.

Initially, they planned to pass on only one technique, just as when they met Zu Wenyuan on a rainy night years ago.

But they ended up forcefully transmitting a total of five Chapters.

Qian is Heaven, Li is fire, Dui is lake.

Lake and fire revolution.

Lake Heaven Guai.

That day, the old ox cart rumbled along. No matter how much the silver-haired girl tried to delay and keep the old ox making curved movements, the distance remained the same, and from afar, one could already catch a glimpse of the silhouette of Chen Country’s northern first Heroic City, Zhenbei City.

The city gates were extremely tall. Li Guanyi glanced and saw they were dozens of meters high, akin to cliffs and mountains. Standing below the massive gates, one felt as small as an ant, with gigantic mechanical cars and mechanical crossbows looming impressively overhead. Yet, the city gates remained ordinary in size, not overly large.

This pass had shattered many famous generals’ steel teeth.

It was the world’s foremost Heroic Pass.

It was one of the most outstanding creations of the Mo Family Mechanism Technique and was built over dozens of years and an immense cost in silver coins during Emperor Chen Wu’s era. Its design drawn up by a major kin of the Yin Yang Family, who had not yet parted ways with Emperor Chen Wu, was made a reality by the Mo School’s leading giant.

Stationed here, it subdued the north.

Extremely easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Upon seeing it, the Turkic Iron Futu sighed and directly turned his troops around.

With this Pass deterring the northern part, Chen Country’s northern border was as solid as rock.

This was also the direct cause of why Ying Country’s greatest general, the Grandmaster, once decided to take a light cavalry detour and launch a surprise attack on the capital of Chen Country. If one wanted to breach this city, it would only be at the cost of a crushing flesh and blood toll, which the Ying Country’s Grandmaster did not consider worth the expense.

The Taoist Sect looked up towards the distant city as Li Guanyi employed the Lake Heaven Guai technique.

This divination sequence was characterized by Lower Qian Upper Dui.

Qian as heaven symbolizes vigor; Dui as lake stands for joy. Lake’s spirit rises, becomes rain, waters the vast earth, nourishing all things—a method of swiftly healing wounds and restoring Qi, especially beneficial for Li Guanyi, who consumed a great deal of Qi in his martial practices.

It also allowed him to heal others with his own Inner Qi.

Li Guanyi performed it skillfully, and the Taoist Sect suddenly stopped him, saying, "Come here."

Li Guanyi leaped up and sat on the ox cart, asking, "Senior, what’s the matter?"

The Taoist Sect looked at the youth before him, his Qi Mechanism and Inner Qi still in the Second Layer Heaven, but his Inner Qi was at least twice as vigorous as before. Yet, even so, he did not attempt to break through his acupoints, just accumulating Inner Qi. The Taoist Sect said, "Our destined relationship ends here."

Li Guanyi was surprised.

He then simply clasped his hands, not mentioning that Zhenbei City was not yet reached.

He said nonchalantly, "There are no eternal banquets under heaven; thank you for these days, Senior!"

The Taoist Sect was surprised by his demeanor at that moment and then nodded, his tone light, "I’m going to visit the Academy, you two go to Zhenbei City, the world’s foremost Heroic Pass. Be careful. If fate wills it, you may visit the Academy, where opportunities await."

The Taoist Sect glanced at the Qilin lying there, fast asleep.

Li Guanyi said softly, "I was originally going to return the Grandmaster’s amulet to the Academy."

The young man held a pouch hanging from his waist, within which lay Zu Wenyuan’s amulet, symbolizing one of Taoist Sect’s twenty-four Sacrificial Wine Masters. He said, "I need to pass on the Grandmaster’s message back there. "

"So that the Taoist Sect and the six Palace Masters of the Academy know. "

"The efforts of my teacher are worthy of this life."

Li Guanyi paused, then asked, "Senior, are you also from the Academy?"

The silver-haired Taoist lowered his gaze, and after a long while, he answered,

"I once was."

He looked towards the southeast, his tranquil eyes sparking with a trace of anger. Li Guanyi fixed his gaze on his pupil and was slightly startled; it seemed like the Taoist’s eyes held a vision of skies, clouds, mountains, and within those mountains, there seemed to be a figure in green robes, approaching with measured steps.
