Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 967 - 941: Entrance Ceremony

The "Five Elements Derivation Art" is profoundly intricate. Tangyu studied it for an entire day, yet still found it too cryptic and difficult to start with. Furthermore, due to the omission of some mantras in the Five Elements Derivation Art, Tangyu found it even more incomprehensible.

Unable to make any progress, Tangyu temporarily gave up and instead began cultivating the Great Rift Vajra Technique.

This spell was rather easy to grasp; after some research, Tangyu was able to handle it proficiently.

The Great Rift Vajra Technique comprises nine styles. Each style is more formidable than the last, and ultimately, the nine styles can merge into one, achieving the Great Perfection. Reaching the state of nine styles as one in Great Perfection unleashes power that can even intimidate Golden Core Realm experts.

Within the entire Yanshan Sect, those who have cultivated the Great Rift Vajra Technique to Great Perfection number less than three.

The Great Rift Vajra Technique does not have fixed moves but includes methods of manipulating and wielding the power of the Golden Path, along with some mantras. It can be executed using a sword, fists, or even feet. In truth, a true cultivator does not need weapons to be distinguished. So-called weapons are merely mediums. Hands can serve as weapons, feet can serve as weapons. Even a blade of grass or a wooden twig can become a weapon.

At most, there are merely differences in power levels.

Good weapons can serve as aids.

Although this spell is not specifically a sword technique, Tangyu still preferred using a sword, so he directly employed a sword for cultivation and transformation, creating his own routines.

The Great Rift Vajra Technique is fierce, emphasizing great craft in simplicity, and the heavy sword without edge. It focuses on force, subduing ten thousand methods with force. There are no embellishments, only the most direct power.

This is starkly different from the Langya Sword Art, which focuses on the maxim, "In the world of swords, nothing is unbreakable if it is swift." It emphasizes speed, interpreting the power of the Golden Path with the word ’fast’. Yet, the Great Rift Vajra Technique expresses through the most direct method.

Therefore, the power of the Great Rift Vajra Technique is more ferocious. Once an attack is launched, it forces you to unleash your full potential. If your opponent is not defeated in that strike, then you are defeated.

Rumbling——

The sword in Tangyu’s hand smashed out with a might akin to the boundless might of the Great Dao. The heavy sword without edge subdues ten thousand methods with force, aiming for the Great Rift Vajra.

Upon releasing one sword strike, Tangyu even felt like he was moving in all directions. The momentum of this sword was so overwhelming, that its sheer power alone was sufficient to intimidate.

However, Tangyu remained dissatisfied, shaking his head: "Not enough, still lacking in artistic conception; one must use brute force, but it cannot be plainly brute force. Brute force must transform into finesse, seeming brute yet unbrute, borrowing the mighty power of the Golden Path, combining all, only then can it truly reach the realm of great craft in simplicity."

Repeated practice, followed by continuous denial; immersed in thoughtful research.

Tangyu had the deepest insight into the Golden Path, hence the cultivation felt very smooth and effortless.

Thus, Tangyu became entranced in the cultivation.

Time flew, and three days quietly passed by.

"Tangyu, someone claiming to be Senior Brother Liu has come looking for you with five others." A voice interrupted Tangyu’s cultivation.

Tangyu’s brows furrowed slightly. He was in the midst of an enjoyable training session when he was suddenly interrupted, which indeed felt a bit irritating.

Tangyu sheathed his sword: "Three days of continuous cultivation, I’ve finally yielded some modest gains. Although I haven’t completely cultivated the first layer of the Great Rift Vajra Technique, it’s almost there—about fifty percent proficiency. Combined with my Yin Yang Dao Foundation’s power, although the might of my sword force is far less than the ’Mindful Style’, it surpasses the Yin Yang Sword Art in the Tai Chi Sword Realm by quite a margin."

"The Mindful Style is my trump card, my ultimate move. From now on, the Great Rift Vajra Technique will be my combat means."

Putting away the sword, Tangyu then walked out and saw Luo Xiaobing at the door: "Let’s go."

Luo Xiaobing glanced at Tangyu, noticing that he seemed somewhat different from three days ago, which surprised her: could it be that Tangyu’s strength had advanced again in these three days?

Arriving at the Guest Reception Hall, Tangyu spotted Liu Chengbo from afar, standing there with five people behind him: "Haha, Senior Brother Liu, forgive the lack of welcome."

Liu Chengbo, seeing Tangyu arrive, also smiled and said: "Junior Brother Tangyu, you’re too polite; it’s I who interrupted your training. If it weren’t for the new disciple initiation ceremony about to take place, I wouldn’t have disturbed you."

"Oh, the new disciple initiation ceremony?" Tangyu was slightly taken aback, as it seemed he hadn’t heard about it.

Luo Xiaobing promptly said: "Yes, Tangyu. I received the news three days ago that the new disciple initiation ceremony will be held at noon today and everyone must attend."

Tangyu nodded: "Oh, there’s still time, no rush." As he said this, his gaze fell on the five people standing behind Liu Chengbo—four men and one woman. They appeared to be in their early twenties. Judging from the aura they emanated, it was clear that all five were in the first layer of the Mystic Law Realm. By rights, their talents were not considered poor, perhaps even quite commendable.

This time they couldn’t become disciples of the Yanshan Sect, but there’s a bright hope for them in five years.

The five also looked at Tangyu with a bit of curiosity.

Liu Chengbo said: "Junior Brother Tangyu, these five are the more outstanding disciples of our Liu Family. From now on, let them follow you. If they don’t listen to you, feel free to deal with them as you see fit, I will not say a word." After speaking, Liu Chengbo glanced at the five and said: "Hurry up and greet Young Master Tang."

The five instantly paid their respects respectfully: "Greetings, Young Master Tang."

Tangyu said, "No need for formalities. Since you are Liu Shidi’s family, I will naturally look out for you where I can. However, my temper may not be the best, so if there is something that truly displeases me, I won’t be polite with you. Liu Shixiong, I respect you, but some words are better said now. It’s not good if disagreements arise later."

Since Tangyu was not familiar with the five people brought by Liu Chengbo, he needed to be serious when necessary, otherwise, it might be difficult to manage them later.

Accepting these five servants shouldn’t lead to a situation where he had to show them displeasure later; Tangyu wouldn’t accept that.

Liu Chengbo smiled and nodded, "Naturally, if they do anything that displeases you, Shidi Tangyu, feel free to punish them without regard for me. I absolutely won’t interfere."

"Alright, since Shixiong Liu has said so, I won’t hold back then." Tangyu nodded.

Liu Chengbo said, "Alright, I’ll leave them to you. Everything will trouble you, Shidi Tangyu. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first."

"Alright, Shixiong Liu, take care. Luo Xiaobing, please see Shixiong Liu off for me," Tangyu said.

After sending off Liu Chengbo, Tangyu addressed the five people, "I may be serious at times, but I’m usually quite easy-going. As long as you don’t do anything to make me very angry, I will be lenient with you, and there’s no need to be overly restrained. Now, introduce yourselves."

Upon hearing Tangyu’s words, the five felt inwardly relieved. If they had indeed followed a strict master, the future would have been tough.

The main thing is, they came here with a mission from the family and with high expectations.

"My name is Liu Chengxi."

"My name is Liu Chenghai."

"My name is Liu Chengfei."

"My name is Liu Chengfu."

"My name is Liu Danyin."

The names of these five were rather easy to remember. Repeating them once, Tangyu memorized them all.

Tangyu said, "Alright, later get to know each other with Luo Xiaobing and Guangtou Qiang, then choose where you wish to live. Day to day, you should get along well, and I don’t want to see any disputes among you, understood?"

The five nodded, indicating their understanding.

Luo Xiaobing returned, and Guangtou Qiang came over with a somewhat wooden-faced young man, who was a bit shy, glancing at everyone before finally stopping on Tangyu.

Guangtou Qiang said, "Boss, he’s Hua Shixiong’s younger brother."

Hua Shixiong’s disciple immediately bowed respectfully to Tangyu, saying, "Hua Yu greets Young Master Tang."

Tangyu nodded, "Get acquainted with each other first." After speaking, Tangyu left the hall and headed towards Disciple Peak, as it was nearly time to attend the disciple initiation ceremony.

At Disciple Peak, the summit of the central peak was directly flattened, forming a massive open space. Apart from a pagoda, there were no other structures at the summit. This was the martial square of the disciples, where many important events of the Yanshan Sect were held. It’s also the disciples’ favorite spot.

Here they can spar and train, among other things.

The initiation ceremony for new disciples was also held here.

Today the summit was evidently bustling, with some old disciples busy with various tasks, and many new disciples had arrived at the square early. A few elders stood on a high platform, along with many older disciples who came to observe the ceremony.

The initiation ceremony, not extremely grand, was nonetheless a rare gala for the Yanshan Sect.

"Look, Tangyu is here."

"So, that’s Tangyu, the Sect Master’s rumored direct disciple, and that’s how he looks."

"Tsk, the demeanor of a Sect Master’s direct disciple is truly different. We arrived here early, yet he remains unhurried."

Tangyu frowned slightly, not pleased with hearing these sarcastic remarks. Those who said such things were the old hands.

Old disciples, full of their own status, always thought they were more qualified than the newcomers, and some might tout their seniority.

Tangyu ignored these voices and entered the ranks of the new disciples. On the side of the new disciples, gazes fell onto Tangyu; Yao Jiguang, the Four Elites of Yang City, Ye Liu, and others looked at Tangyu with somewhat peculiar expressions.

They had always been hailed as the top talents, but unexpectedly, Tangyu stole the show in the end. It’s clear they weren’t genuinely convinced of this outcome.

Geniuses have their pride, and they eagerly sought the title of Sect Master’s direct disciple. To have Tangyu take it away without even the final competition left them feeling unfair and discontented.
