I'm only one year old what the heck Is a overturning system

The next day.

Chen Yi finished grooming a bit earlier than usual and arrived outside Ning Xue's quarters, knocking on the door.

"Senior Sister, please teach me the Sword Edge Mountain's inherited cultivation techniques today."

Soon after, Ning Xue led him deep into Sword Edge Mountain, into an old-looking Taoist temple.

Chen Yi surveyed his surroundings.

He saw that the Taoist temple, barely larger than his family's Martial Arts Arena, had uneven stone-paved floors, with gaps where weeds sprouted.

Apart from the main hall, there was only one straw hut on the side, its door tightly shut and padlocked, appearing long uninhabited.

"Senior Sister, what is this place?"

"My master's residence."

Ning Xue stood outside the main hall and beckoned him, "Don't get close to that straw hut, be careful of being hurt by the Sword Intent."

Sword Intent?

Chen Yi's heart stirred slightly as he summoned a faint Sword Intent in front of his eyes, and looked again towards the straw hut.

In the next instant, an overwhelming Sword Intent, as if it could blot out the sun and sky, appeared before him.

The terrifying power made his hairs stand on end, and he instinctively dodged to the side, dispersing the Sword Intent in front of him.

"What was that!?"

Seeing his action, Ning Xue was momentarily stunned.

"Junior Brother, you, you can see the Sword Intent above the straw hut?"

"Um," Chen Yi hesitated but did not deny it, then asked, "Senior Sister, was that straw hut left by Master?"

Hearing his response, Ning Xue looked at him with a complex and indescribable expression.

Sword Intent…

Junior Brother Chen is probably not far from achieving great success in the Sword Dao.

"That's right, Master set up some measures here to prevent outsiders from intruding."

"Not only that hut, everything you see in the yard contains Master's Sword Intent."

Chen Yi recalled the overwhelming Sword Intent he saw before, and pondered, "Then Master's realm in the Sword Dao must be very high, right?"

"I don't know; Master never mentioned it."

Ning Xue shook her head, suppressing the complexity in her heart, and stepped into the main hall.

Chen Yi took another look at the straw hut.

He feared that their unknown master, Li Qingzhou, had a level of Sword Dao far beyond great achievement.

It seems he had underestimated the people of the sect!

Inside the main hall of the modest Taoist temple, although older, it appeared much cleaner than the outside, but the setting inside exuded a sense of profound antiquity.

Especially the ink painting directly opposite the door, the paper slightly yellowed, with one corner worn away.

The painting depicted the back of a woman standing proudly with a longsword at her waist atop a mountain.

In front of her, or rather, at a great distance, outlines of several demons were sketched.

And the name on the painting was at the worn corner, barely revealing two vigorous characters—"Demon Suppression."

Chen Yi took a longer look, his gaze falling on the altar below.

Behind the incense burner was a spirit tablet, with vermilion as the base and golden paint as the ink, bearing the words "Sword Immortal Mu Qing."

Was this the ancestor Mu Qing of Sword Edge Mountain mentioned by Senior Sister Ning before?

It seemed...

Chen Yi restrained the urge to probe with his Sword Intent.

Given the scene at the straw hut before, he no longer underestimated the Sword Dao heritage of Sword Edge Mountain.

It's better to ensure the painting does not contain the Sword Intent of the Female Sword Immortal.

Better keep it simple.

Chen Yi respectfully bowed to the portrait.

Please grant me great fortune and success, Ancestor!

While Chen Yi was making his prayer, Ning Xue took out two ancient-looking book scrolls from a brocaded box under the altar table.

Then she bowed three times towards the portrait before turning to Chen Yi, saying:

"There are two volumes of ultimate techniques in the Sword Dao Peak's heritage, one is Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique, and the other is Supreme Demon Vanquisher."

"All true disciples can choose one of these to cultivate."

Chen Yi looked at the book scrolls in her hand, their bamboo slips green as jade, bound with golden thread, ancient yet full of preciousness.

"Senior Sister, what's the difference between these two cultivation techniques?"

Ning Xue pointed to the meditation cushion in front of the altar table, indicating him to sit down and talk.

Then she started to explain the differences between Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique and Supreme Demon Vanquisher.

"The Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique was created by the ancestor through comprehending the Grand Void Path, integrating four of the eight skills—Qian, Kun, Shock Thunder, and Qian's opposite—into one. At high levels of cultivation, one can transform the True Yuan in the body into Profound Gang Qi."

"This type of Gang Qi can not only protect oneself but also integrates Shock Thunder Skill, which gives it extremely strong destructive power."

Chen Yi thought to himself that this was indeed a comprehensive cultivation technique.

As for the Grand Void Eight Skills mentioned by Ning Xue, he was quite familiar with them.

Talking about the source, it was the Sect Master's daughter, Xiao Xuanzhen, who cultivated the Grand Void Eight Skills.

Although Xiao Xuanzhen's cultivation of the Grand Void Eight Skills was not yet perfect, Chen Yi could imagine the power that could be displayed when all eight skills were completed and unified.

This could be seen from the formidable power of the five fires of True Essence that Xiao Xuanzhen forcefully merged that day.

Ning Xue noticed he was silent and continued, "The origin of Supreme Demon Vanquisher is uncertain, even Master is not clear about it, only knowing that it was a trophy won by the ancestor on a battlefield."

"As its name suggests, the technique possesses powers to restrain demons and dispel evil, somewhat similar to the pure Yang lineage of Shiyan Mountain."

Specialized for killing demons?

Chen Yi looked at the two volumes of cultivation technique in her hand, pondering for a moment, then asked, "Senior Sister, what's your recommendation?"

He had slain countless demons in the achieved realm of Sword Dao, aware that solely Sword Dao was sufficient to defeat enemies.

For him, or perhaps for other Sword Cultivators, additional techniques could only be icing on the cake.

"This one."

Ning Xue unhesitatingly handed over the scroll in her right hand, saying, "Both Master and I cultivate the Supreme Demon Vanquisher."

Chen Yi was slightly surprised, "Master too?"

With the overwhelming Sword Intent cultivated earlier, he assumed Li Qingzhou was a purely dedicated Sword Cultivator.

Unexpectedly, he would also choose a technique specializing in subduing demons.

"That's right."

Ning Xue nodded, pushing the Supreme Demon Vanquisher forward slightly.

"Master said, demons and evil beings have tricky abilities. Although the Sword Dao can kill them, one must also be prepared."

"However, the Supreme Demon Vanquisher has this convenience but also has clear weaknesses."

Ning Xue paused, adding, "After reaching the fifth grade of the Core Formation Realm, when fighting others, one would have fewer options."

"Whether it's the cultivation technique, the matching Supreme Demon Vanquisher Sword Technique, the Demon Suppression Seal, the Clearing World Seal, the Demon Suppressing Formation, etc., they are all only effective against demons."

Hearing this, Chen Yi gained a clear understanding of the two sets of cultivation techniques.

After pondering for a moment, he pushed the Supreme Demon Vanquisher Technique back and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, I would like to choose the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique."

To deal with demons and evil spirits, even without the protection of the Supreme Demon Vanquisher Technique, he was still confident that he could annihilate them solely with his Sword Dao.

This was because his Sword Intent was "Slaughter", which was a domineering Sword Intent with supreme might.

Moreover, in that period of battling demons for a hundred years, he had already fully comprehended his own Sword Dao.

There were two most important points in it.

First, the swordsmanship need not be flamboyant or complicated; a swift, accurate, and fierce strike at the weak points of the demons was enough.

Second, the "Slaughter" Sword Intent posed a threat to demons and evil spirits comparable to pure Yang.

Even during that experience, Chen Yi had repeatedly struck fear and dread into them.

Therefore, for him, the Supreme Demon Vanquisher Technique was as useless as chicken ribs; it was better to choose the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique that offered more comprehensive improvement.

In this way, once his realm advanced and his Sword Dao further progressed, whether facing humans or demons as enemies, he would be able to break through with one strike.

"Have you decided?"

"Yes."

Upon receiving Chen Yi's affirmative answer, Ning Xue put away the Supreme Demon Vanquisher Technique and handed over the scroll of the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique.

"You cannot take the cultivation technique out of this Taoist temple; you should memorize its content here."

"If there's anything unclear, I um..."

Seeing her hesitation, Chen Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

Could it be?

The promised teaching of the cultivation technique, was it specifically referring to the Supreme Demon Vanquisher Technique?

Unfortunately,

Chen Yi had guessed the truth.

Ning Xue had never learned the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique, and knew very little about its true meaning.

Her suggestion was that after entering the initial phase of the cultivation technique, either wait for the return of the senior sister from Sword Edge Mountain or seek help from practitioners of the Grand Void Path, and not to practice blindly on his own.

This led Chen Yi to realize that Senior Sister Zhan Hongxiu from Sword Edge Mountain also practiced the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique.

And her cultivation technique had already reached Great Success, with her cultivation realm having reached the fourth-grade Spirit Aperture Realm.

As for seeking help from the Grand Void Path that Ning Xue mentioned, Chen Yi first thought of Lu Youxiang, the recently returned Deputy Sect Master of the sect.

This might provide some assistance for him.

But that would also wait until he had initially entered the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique.

Entering the initial state wasn't too difficult for Chen Yi.

At least the introductory chapter of the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique was easily understandable for him, and he practiced the new technique over the next few days.

During those initial days, he could clearly feel changes in his True Yuan within his body.

It was as if an invisible hammer was constantly refining his True Yuan, removing impurities, making it more solid and purer.

Following that, as the refined True Yuan circulated through the meridians prescribed by the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique, gradually an indescribable substance began to emerge.

Much like a stream melting in early spring, though not turbulent and overwhelming, it was full of vitality.

Circulating once through the Zhou Tian showed no significant change, but after two circulations, the speed of the True Yuan circulation increased, reaching its maximum at three circulations.

Four Zhou Tian…

As Chen Yi became more proficient in the introductory chapter of the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique, his True Yuan became thicker and more severe.

After more than ten days, he suddenly discovered a faint blue luminescence at his Dantian, realizing that he had entered the beginner level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique.

Simultaneously, his cultivation realm also reached the middle stage of the eighth-grade Nayuan Realm.

Chen Yi couldn't continue his cultivation and started to check his status.

[Name: Chen Yi]

[Age: 33]

[Cultivation: Eighth Grade Nayuan Realm (Middle Stage)]

[Talent: Late Bloomer—The older the bone age, the faster the cultivation speed.]

[Basic Skills: Complete—Every drop of water forms a river, eventually becoming a great tool.]

[Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique: Beginner—True Yuan transforms into Gang Qi.]

[Sword Dao: Great Success—A hundred years of battle, Sword Intent reaches ultimate purity. One sword strikes, ten thousand bones wither!]

[Rebellion Points: 5/100]

"This Nine Revolutionsystatechange:""s speed is indeed incomparable to the basic skills."

While pleased, Chen Yi didn't forget to do a test.

With the Gang Qi in his body summoned, it condensed on the palm of his hand, creating a visible faint luminescence.

He casually slapped it onto a giant rock next to the Martial Arts Arena, leaving a deep handprint without any noise or resistance.

The rock didn't offer him any resistance at all.

"This power is really… quite weak."

Chen Yi's smile disappeared, and he twitched his mouth.

The Gang Qi of True Yuan, although seemingly powerful, was lackluster compared to the sharp Sword Qi, not to mention his "Slaughter" Sword Intent.

However, after several trials, the Gang Qi wasn't completely useless.

At least when circulated, its defensive power on his body was more than five times stronger than that of True Yuan.

This fits well with what Ning Xue described as "protecting oneself", which somewhat consoled Chen Yi.

…

During the more than ten days when Chen Yi was cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique, the chill on Sword Edge Mountain intensified.

A late winter snowstorm covered the entire Grand Void Sect in pure white, giving it a stunning appearance from afar.

In such weather.

Ning Xue and several other senior brothers and sisters were somewhat better off, relying on their advanced cultivation, they could maintain precise sword movements against the cold wind.

However, Hua Youxiang, Li Mingyue, and Lu Youxiang, due to their inadequate talents, not only could not receive the secret cultivation technique from Sword Edge Mountain but also had not reached the eighth-grade Nayuan Realm in their cultivation progress.

It was especially hard for them.

With no other choice, Chen Yi had to accompany them outside the side hall, setting up a spacious wooden house specifically for practicing swordsmanship.

Watching Hua Youxiang and the others' figures dancing with swords, Chen Yi suddenly realized that this scene seemed familiar.

Upon careful recollection, he remembered.

That year when Zhou Wanyi was pregnant and Chen Yuan moved to Fanghua Garden, Xia Wanwan had also set up a pavilion outside their quarters for them.

The difference was that one was to avoid cold and the other to avoid heat.

"I wonder how the elder brother is doing now."

However, Chen Yi didn't linger in his reminiscence for too long; an unexpected letter interrupted his thoughts.

"Tonight at midnight, in the forest below the mountain, a subordinate has important matters to report."
