Elder Hall.
Li Yun had already been led into the front hall by Gu Xiaoxian.
"Little fellow, your strength is quite formidable. If I'm not mistaken, your Stance Training should have comprehended more than three True Meanings, right?"
As the saying goes, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.
Gu Xiaoxian was already over seventy years old and was a powerful Martial Artist himself. When Li Yun publicly displayed his Stance Training, he had already noticed some clues.
At this point, it was pointless for Li Yun to continue hiding anything.
So he admitted it frankly.
"Replying to Elder, it is indeed more than three types."
"Then how many types exactly? Don't worry, everything you say here today, as long as you don't want it leaked, it won't be leaked."
Gu Xiaoxian thought Li Yun wanted to hide his strength.
There was nothing surprising about this. Heavenly Martial Sect recruited so many disciples every year, and there were always some more mature individuals who didn't want to be too high-profile and preferred to keep a low profile.
And this was also one of the effective ways to avoid trouble.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't deliberately expose it, but the Basic Stance Training was different because it involved the Inheritance of the The Twelve Palaces of Tianfu.
Li Yun also roughly guessed some things and after thinking for a moment, said, "Actually, this disciple's Basic Stance Training has been completely cultivated, and all twelve types of True Meaning have been fully comprehended."
"What? Is that true?"
Gu Xiaoxian was overjoyed.
Although he had made a judgment about Li Yun's hidden strength, he didn't expect it to be this outrageous, almost exceeding his imagination.
Li Yun didn't speak.
At this time, speaking was meaningless.
He directly took action, performing all twelve Stance Trainings meticulously in front of Gu Xiaoxian, fully activating all twelve types of True Meaning.
He only concealed the fact that the Stance Training could also merge into Primordial Chaos Stance, and the twelve types of True Meaning could merge into Primordial Chaos True Intent.
Gu Xiaoxian was ecstatic.
He quickly pulled Li Yun to sit down.
"Good boy, truly remarkable!"
"Now there's something I hope you can consider..."
Then.
Gu Xiaoxian explained the existence of the The Twelve Palaces of Tianfu. Regarding this, Li Yun had already heard about it from Zhang Ruohan, so he naturally wasn't surprised.
But Gu Xiaoxian proposed a request.
That was he hoped Li Yun could make a trip to the Heavenly Palace Twelve Palaces Ruins before advancing to the Strength Refinement Realm, to obtain the Inheritance of the The Twelve Palaces of Tianfu as much as possible.
For this, Elder Gu was willing to provide all convenience for Li Yun.
However, after Li Yun obtained the Inheritance of the The Twelve Palaces of Tianfu, he would need to make a copy to be stored in the Heavenly Martial Sect's Martial Repository, in order to increase the foundation of the Heavenly Martial Sect's Martial Repository.
Li Yun weighed the gains and losses slightly and readily agreed.
In fact, there was nothing to consider.
According to Elder Gu, advancing to the Strength Refinement Realm was a very crucial stage, because at this Realm, one would inevitably cultivation Inner Force.
Inner Force was the foundation for transforming into True Qi, and True Qi was the core for reversing the Innate state from the Acquired state.
Martial Dao cultivation was actually a process of continuous evolution and sublimation along a single path.
Therefore, Inner Force was very crucial.
And Inner Force also had distinctions in quality. Based on different individual Physiques and cultivating Inner Force with different levels of cultivation methods, it could roughly be divided into nine qualities, with the ninth grade being the lowest and the first grade being the highest.
However, the best cultivation method for cultivating Inner Force currently stored in the Heavenly Martial Sect's Martial Repository was called the Six Methods Returning to Primordial, which could at most cultivation four-grade Inner Force.
Among the nine qualities of Inner Force, this could be considered the Peak of the middle three grades.
Compared to some ordinary small Sects, it was actually much better. In Eastern Cloud Continent, most Martial Dao Sects only had cultivation methods for cultivating the lower three grades of Inner Force.
But the Peak of the middle three grades was still just the middle three grades, so how could it compare to the power of the upper three grades?
Why was reversing the Innate state from the Acquired state so difficult?
Why was the probability so low?
A large part of the reason was that the quality of the initial Inner Force was not high enough, leading to insufficient quality and quantity of True Qi transformed later.
If one could cultivation the upper three grades of Inner Force, the situation would be completely different.
To be frank, with the upper three grades of Inner Force, even if one only cultivated three-grade Inner Force, the subsequent transformation into True Qi would far surpass that of the middle three grades, and the success rate of reversing the Innate state from the Acquired state would be as high as seventy percent!
Not to mention two-grade Inner Force and one-grade Inner Force, Inner Force of this level of quality would inevitably create greater opportunities for reversing the Innate state from the Acquired state.
The true core Inheritance of the The Twelve Palaces of Tianfu - Heavenly Palace Divine Art - included the method for cultivating the upper three grades of Inner Force, and more importantly, this method was actually based on the twelve types of True Meaning from the Basic Twelve Stances.
Even the Heavenly Martial Sect's current strongest cultivation method for Inner Force, the Six Methods Returning to Primordial, was actually derived from the Heavenly Palace Divine Art. The two were actually in the same lineage.
Therefore, if Li Yun could truly obtain that Heavenly Palace Divine Art in the Heavenly Palace Twelve Palaces Ruins, it would not only be of great benefit to himself but also to the Heavenly Martial Sect.
It could be said to be a win-win situation!
Thinking it through from beginning to end, there was really no reason to refuse to go.
And after receiving Li Yun's affirmative reply, Gu Xiaoxian was also very happy. The look in his eyes when he looked at Li Yun was clearly different, more amiable and more appreciative.
That kind of recognition had far surpassed the recognition of a typical Ren Division Chief Disciple.
And the journey to the Heavenly Palace Twelve Palaces Ruins was not short, at least eight hundred kilometers.
Gu Xiaoxian needed to ensure Li Yun's safety and also needed to make some preparations beforehand, so he let Li Yun return first. At the latest in five days, after sufficient preparations were made, Gu Xiaoxian would personally take Li Yun there.
After leaving the Elder Hall, Li Yun went directly to Azure Cloud Residence.
As soon as they met, Zhang Cong said cheerfully, "How is it? When are you going to the Heavenly Palace Twelve Palaces Ruins?"
"Uncle Zhang, you guessed it?"
"Does this need you to guess? When you displayed your Stance Training in the Elder Hall, besides those few disciples who were still in the dark, how many people couldn't tell that your Stance Training True Meaning was more than three types?"
"Among the Outer Sect Disciples, it's rare to encounter someone with such achievements in Stance Training. Elder Gu has been thinking about obtaining the Heavenly Palace Divine Art to supplement the deficiencies in the Martial Repository's foundation for years, and that's even more well-known."
"He specifically kept you behind. If it wasn't for this matter, then there would be a ghost. And you're not stupid. This is a rare and excellent opportunity for you to enter the Heavenly Palace Twelve Palaces Ruins. How could you miss it?"
"In my opinion, you and Elder Gu must have hit it off immediately!"
Zhang Cong said with a smile, looking as if he was confident and everything was already within expectation.
"To be honest, your luck is really good."
"If you can truly bring back the core Inheritance of the The Twelve Palaces of Tianfu, then you will have made a great contribution to the Heavenly Martial Sect. Right now you are just an Outer Sect Disciple, and this kind of contribution seems useless, but when you become a True Disciple in the future, this contribution will be enough to become an advantageous edge in competing for the Sect's emissary position!"
"You must seize this opportunity!"
"I believe your future is definitely not limited to the Heavenly Martial Sect, or even Eastern Cloud Continent... But before you go out, the Heavenly Martial Sect will definitely be able to provide you with a significant boost!"
