Chapter 1209: Daoist Innate Primordial Qi

Qin Mu's expression changed slightly. He immediately altered his move, transforming it into the Calamity Slaying Sword, killing the Ancient God of the Heavenly Gang constellation and forcefully breaking through the Ancient God of the Earthly Kui constellation, preventing the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend from encircling him.

At this moment, many more stars appeared across the sky. The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Grand Array transformed into the Grand Array of the Circumstellar Constellation Deities, an inescapable net sweeping towards him!

Qin Mu unleashed a Calamity Responsive Sword in all directions, striking the Circumstellar Constellation Deities!

His sword art was exceptionally powerful.

In terms of cultivation, he was undoubtedly the most profound individual from the Yan Kang reforms; no one could compare to him. Even Lin Xuan Dao Master's sword art, though incredibly refined, and his numerology, though profoundly advanced, could hardly contend with Qin Mu's magical power.

His magical power far surpassed Lin Xuan's!

However, the instant the Circumstellar Constellation Deities were shattered, countless stars converged. With a thunderous roar, innumerable stars were pressed together, transforming into Calamity Stars!

Calamity Stars are incredibly heavy, among the densest stars in the universe. These anomalous stars rotate at an astonishing speed, often emitting terrifying rays of light, like sword beams, that annihilate everything in their path!

Lin Xuan's sword light flickered as over a dozen Calamity Stars spun frantically around Qin Mu, each unleashing astonishing sword beams that simultaneously struck him!

Qin Mu swung his sword to parry, and a continuous series of clanging explosions erupted as he forcefully shattered all dozen Calamity Stars!

Yet, the next moment, Lin Xuan Dao Master's sword tip moved, and the shattered Calamity Stars coalesced, suddenly transforming into a great abyss that devoured everything, sucking Qin Mu inside with a *whoosh*!

It felt like the end of the universe, like a black hole, devouring and dissolving everything in its path!

"The Great Abyss of Guixu! Your numerology can even manifest the grand dao divine abilities of Guixu?"

Qin Mu's voice echoed from within the abyss. The power of his sword domain fully erupted, causing the Great Abyss of Guixu, formed by Lin Xuan Dao Master's sword light, to collapse and disintegrate. Qin Mu was on the verge of breaking free.

Lin Xuan Dao Master held his sword in his right hand, performing a sword incantation with his left. He then ran his left hand along the sword's body towards the tip, saying in a deep voice, "Ten Thousand Daos Return to One, Primordial Qi!"

He thrust his sword forward just as Qin Mu broke free from the Great Abyss of Guixu.

Qin Mu had no time to swing his sword. He held his sword behind his back with his right hand, while his left hand formed a sword incantation and was held upright at his brow, his voice deep and resonant: "Divine Treasure, Open!"

Lin Xuan Dao Master's sword moved incredibly fast, striking the tip of Qin Mu's left middle finger with a *ding* sound. A drop of blood flowed from his fingertip, sliding down the blade.

Simultaneously, Qin Mu's Divine Treasure domain erupted. Ten thousand daos roared and surged outwards, unleashing an incredibly terrifying burst of power!

Qin Mu's sword incantations on both hands met the tip of Lin Xuan Dao Master's sword, then he pushed the incantations forward.

His Celestial Palaces roared. Ancestral Court, Xuandu, Youdu, Yuandu, Four Extremities Heaven, and the Myriad Heavens and Worlds—countless grand daos resounded in unison, surging with his sword incantation. This immense power launched Lin Xuan Dao Master, along with his Dao Sword, high into the air.

The sword light surrounding Lin Xuan Dao Master shattered and disintegrated, and the Primordial Qi within his sword body likewise broke layer by layer!

*Bang, bang, bang!* A series of explosive sounds erupted as Lin Xuan's daoist robe tore open all over his body. He was sent flying backward, along with his sword, and slammed into a cliff face with a resounding *boom*.

Fortunately, Qin Mu withdrew his power in time, preventing severe injury. However, the force of the blow still caused blood to spurt from Lin Xuan's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. His daoist robe was riddled with holes, leaving him barely clothed.

Qin Mu was startled. He quickly stepped forward, about to check Lin Xuan's injuries, when suddenly Lin Xuan Dao Master sprang up with a roll. He abandoned his Dao Sword, tossing it far away, and began gesticulating wildly, running around gleefully, ecstatic, shouting, "I injured him!"

Qin Mu was dumbfounded.

He then saw Lin Xuan Dao Master, still in his tattered, revealing daoist robe, with blood smeared from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, joyfully exclaiming, "I made him bleed! I wounded him with my sword! Hahahaha! The almighty Cult Master Qin, injured by my sword, injured by the sword of my Dao Sect!"

The Daoists of the Dao Sect exchanged bewildered glances.

They watched as their revered Sect Master ran wildly, dashing all over the mountain, cheering incessantly, seemingly utterly delighted.

However, the Sect Master's daoist robe barely concealed his body; his bare backside was clearly visible from behind.

Many female Daoist nuns hastily covered their faces, unable to bear the sight, peeking instead through their fingers.

Qin Mu's face flushed. He went to intercept Lin Xuan: "Daoist brother, you merely pricked my fingertip, while I nearly beat you to death. By all rights, I won, yet you're cheering as if you defeated me..."

Lin Xuan Dao Master put his hands on his hips, declaring righteously, "Injuring you means I won! Xu Shenghua is so powerful, and Immortal Wang Muran is so formidable, yet neither of them ever hurt you. Only I did! I'm better than them!"

Qin Mu mumbled, "But I'm still stronger, so why are you so happy..."

Lin Xuan Dao Master was inexplicably excited: "I injured Heavenly Venerate Mu! No one else could do it, only I could! Xu Shenghua couldn't either, he's female, and I'm male!"

Qin Mu coughed, reminding him, "You're barely clothed right now..."

"I was born naked, what's there to fear?" Lin Xuan Dao Master still couldn't suppress his excitement.

Qin Mu sighed. Lin Xuan Dao Master must have been so shocked and stimulated that he'd lost his mind.

"Did Xu Shenghua hit him so hard?"

Qin Mu felt a slight resentment towards Xu Shenghua, thinking, "After all, she's a female Hegemon Body. How unlike me? I always act with proper measure..."

Lin Xuan Dao Master continued his frenzied excitement for a while, dashing wildly all over the mountain. Finally, an elderly Daoist brought a robe and helped their Sect Master put it on.

Only then did Lin Xuan calm down, his face slightly flushed. He quickly returned to his usual composed demeanor, once again looking like the unperturbed Dao Master of the Dao Sect. He apologized, "I lost my composure just now. Please don't take offense, Cult Master Qin."

Qin Mu chuckled, "The Daoists on the mountain were almost scared out of their wits by you."

Lin Xuan Dao Master laughed, "That's just how my Dao Sect is—full of genuine emotion and natural disposition, not bound by trivialities."

Qin Mu knew he was trying to save face but didn't expose him. He said, "I'd like to study here with you for a while. Please enlighten me, Daoist brother."

Lin Xuan Dao Master's smile was hard to suppress. He laughed, "How could I refuse?"

The Daoists of the Dao Sect had not yet fully recovered from their Dao Master's earlier unrestrained shouts. Lin Xuan Dao Master then let out a stern admonishment, "As Daoists, while it's important to remain unperturbed by favor or disgrace, genuine emotion and natural disposition are the true self, the true person! Since your cultivation is lacking, each of you will face the wall for three days!"

The Daoists accepted their orders and obediently went to face the wall.

Meanwhile, their Sect Master still couldn't hide his excitement. As he walked forward, he quietly mumbled, "I injured him, I made him bleed, hehe... I wounded Heavenly Venerate Mu! *Ahem, ahem*, Cult Master Qin, please follow me!"

Qin Mu stayed at the Dao Sect for over ten days, studying Lin Xuan Dao Master's Grand Numerology Dao Domain. However, his primary objective was Lin Xuan's Primordial Qi!

Primordial Qi is the grand dao of the ancient God Heavenly Emperor, extraordinarily profound. Apart from the Ten Heavenly Venerates, the only one who had seen the Heavenly Emperor's true body was the Dao Ancestor of the Dao Sect.

The Dao Ancestor had taught Lin Xuan, which was why Lin Xuan's Primordial Qi was so potent. His final strike had even wounded Qin Mu.

If Qin Mu hadn't unleashed his Divine Treasure domain at that critical moment, it wouldn't have been merely a pricked fingertip; he might have been severely injured by Lin Xuan!

The Dao Ancestor structured Primordial Qi using macroscopic numerology, while Lin Xuan supplemented it with microscopic numerology. This could be considered the Daoist technique currently closest to the true Primordial Qi.

Qin Mu studied very diligently, asking questions whenever he didn't understand.

Lin Xuan Dao Master also took this opportunity to consult Qin Mu on many things, so Qin Mu imparted to him the new Spirit Embryo cultivation system he had developed.

Lin Xuan was dumbfounded, too shocked to speak for a long time. After a considerable pause, he finally came to his senses. After pondering for a moment, he said, "This cultivation method and system of yours can currently only be cultivated by you. I cannot learn it."

Qin Mu asked in surprise, "Why?"
