Chapter 1130: The Origin of the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art

The news obtained from Spirit-Zhe Divine King stirred Ye Yuan's heart as well.

He had never imagined that he would become the center of the covert struggle between the human and demon races.

Nor had he ever thought that someone could truly peer into the Heavenly Dao and scheme everything.

"Who exactly is this great power you speak of? With your strength, do you still have to bow to another?" Ye Yuan asked with a frown.

From Teng Yun's words, Ye Yuan could sense his deep respect for that so-called great power.

Ye Yuan considered himself quite familiar with the Divine Realm, yet he had never heard of such an existence among humans!

According to common knowledge, the Ten Divine Kings were already the pinnacle humans could achieve.

What kind of person could command such respect from a powerhouse like Spirit-Zhe Divine King?

Teng Yun shook his head and said, "He said we would meet when fate allows, but the time is not yet right. As for how strong he is, I cannot say. However... my current achievements are all thanks to him!"

Teng Yun's words shocked Ye Yuan deeply.

If he could single-handedly foster a powerhouse like Spirit-Zhe Divine King, how formidable must his own strength be?

Ye Yuan frowned and said, "If he truly possesses such power, why doesn't he step forward himself?"

Teng Yun replied, "He has his own difficulties! His strength may not be that great, but his prophetic ability is unmatched! It was he who told me about the emergence of the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art and urged me to seize it. Without his guidance, how could I, a mere Dao Profound First Layer martial artist back then, have obtained such a heaven-defying technique?"

This was truly a mysterious existence, like an invisible hand manipulating the course of the entire Divine Realm.

Even a heaven-defying technique like the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art could be accurately predicted by him.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan couldn't help but sigh—what a fearsome existence this was.

However, the demon race's existence seemed no less formidable.

Under his schemes, Demon God Garuda and Mother Demon Flower had successively emerged.

In this regard, the human great power seemed to have fallen behind.

Judging by the current direction of the Divine Realm, the demon race clearly held the upper hand!

Thinking this way, that demon race existence seemed even more powerful!

"Then, did you come to rescue me this time because that person calculated it?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

Teng Yun did not deny it and nodded, "Yes! A month ago, I suddenly received his message to come near the Holy City. I never expected you to be hunted by Zhuge Qingxuan!"

Ye Yuan sighed deeply and said, "I originally planned to destroy the Yu Hun Sect's legacy, but I didn't expect Zhuge Qingxuan to return at this time! However, even though I didn't succeed this time, they have suffered heavy losses!"

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, even the composed Teng Yun gasped.

Destroying the Holy City's legacy—even he wouldn't dare to think of such a thing. This kid actually did it!

When he heard Ye Yuan say he had killed five Void Profound experts from the Holy City and annihilated a Divine King from the Purple Gold Hall, he was utterly stunned.

At his level, few things could stir his emotions.

But Ye Yuan's actions were undoubtedly a bombshell, shocking him deeply.

After a long while, Teng Yun sighed, "You kid really are a freak! But this deed was brilliantly done!"

The two exchanged glances and burst into hearty laughter.

Although Ye Yuan's actions could not destroy the Holy City's foundation, they were certainly enough to give them a hard time.

Divine Kings were not a big deal, but every Void Profound expert was extremely precious.

Ye Yuan's indiscriminate slaughter had effectively cut off half of the Holy City's strength.

"Since you already know about Yu Hun Sect, you must also know about the Ancient Taiyi Sect, right?" Teng Yun asked.

Ye Yuan nodded, indicating he knew.

"Then do you know where the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art originates?" Teng Yun asked again.

Ye Yuan was taken aback—could the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art have a significant origin?

Thinking back, it seemed plausible!

If it didn't have a great origin, how could Teng Yun match Zhuge Qingxuan blow for blow?

Ye Yuan suddenly recalled Tian Li mentioning that a million years ago, there were three Return to Void Divine Realm powerhouses: the strongest was Jue Tian, followed by Zuo Zong.

As for the third, Tian Li did not mention him, but he was clearly an extremely fearsome existence.

Could it be that the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art was his inheritance?

"Could it be that the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art is the inherited technique of the Ancient Nine Yang True Sect?" Ye Yuan asked in surprise.

Teng Yun smiled and said, "Correct! A million years ago, very little information about the sects remains today. But this Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art, along with the Yu Hun Sect's Brahma Heaven Heart Sutra and the Taiyi Sect's Hao Tian Sword Art, were known as the three supreme techniques of that era! A million years ago, the Nine Yang True Sect's sect master Jiang Chen cultivated it to the eighth layer, achieving unparalleled power!"

Ye Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art to have such a profound origin! Senior Jiang Chen assisted Senior Jue Tian in defeating the demon race yet remained behind the scenes—truly admirable! As for Zuo Zong, he left behind a legacy that plagued the world for a million years—a disgrace to humanity!"

Teng Yun nodded in agreement, "Cultivating the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art, the person I respect most in my life is Senior Jiang Chen! Ji Qingyun, you entered the Dao through the sword, but it seems you haven't cultivated the Hao Tian Sword Art. I will now impart the lower half of the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art to you. If you can gain insights from it, you can also forge your own path!"

Ye Yuan's gaze sharpened, "Are you really willing to part with it?"

Teng Yun laughed, "What's there to be unwilling about? If it can help repel the demon race, even if it means giving up this life of mine, what does it matter?"

Ye Yuan felt a surge of respect for Teng Yun.

Divine techniques were priceless, let alone one like the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art that could lead to the Return to Void Divine Realm.

Teng Yun offered it without even blinking, showing that he not only inherited the Nine Yang True Sect's techniques but also its character.

It seemed that this technique's choice of inheritor was not arbitrary.

Heaven's will was at work!

...

Divine inscriptions slowly flowed into Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, and the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art within him began to circulate automatically.

Everything fell into place naturally!

Ye Yuan had not yet fully cultivated the upper half of the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art, so his understanding of these divine inscriptions was shallow.

But some previously obscure points now became clear.

Driven by this divine law, Ye Yuan's cultivation level began to loosen.

Seeing Ye Yuan's remarkable comprehension, Teng Yun was also astonished.

He had spent five hundred years in seclusion to cultivate the upper half of the Spirit-Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art to the ninth layer's perfection.

Yet Ye Yuan had been cultivating this technique for only about twenty years and was already nearing great perfection!
