Elder Taizhen sat on the high platform, turning a deaf ear to the whispering Disciples below.
He simply continued to explain this Cultivation Technique on his own.
"The Heavenly Moat is the Galaxy; six turns and it flows endlessly..."
Unlike the surrounding Disciples who were uninterested, Jiang Yuechu, sitting at the very back, became interested.
Approaching the level of a Spirit Technique?
She had just entered the Chess Player stage and was worrying about not having suitable means at her disposal.
Although she held the title of a nominal Guest Elder, she was not so self-unaware as to think that the Jieqing Sect would hand over a true Spirit Technique to her right now.
Wouldn't this Cultivation Technique, which was the closest to a Spirit Technique, be just right?
It so happened that while she was thinking to herself, several Disciples in front turned their heads to look at her.
Seeing this Girl in Black Robes resting her chin on one hand, listening intently, some couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle secretly.
"Look at how seriously she is listening..."
Once these words were spoken, many Disciples turned their heads to look, their expressions revealing a hint of strangeness.
"Six-Turn Heavenly Moat". This Cultivation Technique was quite famous within the Jieqing Sect.
It was rumored to have immense power and myriad changes, and was hailed as the first technique beneath the Jieqing Spirit Technique.
But no matter how loud its reputation was, it couldn't hide an awkward fact.
This Cultivation Technique was too difficult to get started with.
Of the hundreds of Disciples present, the vast majority had gone to the Scripture Pavilion to admire the rubbings of this Cultivation Technique.
But very few could truly understand it, let alone get started.
And those truly talented Prodigies who could Cultivate the "Six-Turn Heavenly Moat" to completion... which one of them wasn't expected to be favored by the Elders of various peaks and taken in as a Personal Disciple?
Once they became a Personal Disciple, they naturally had the qualifications to practice the Sect's true supreme Spirit Techniques.
Who would waste a great deal of time struggling with this neither-here-nor-there Cultivation Technique?
As time went on, the "Six-Turn Heavenly Moat" became an extremely tasteless existence within the Jieqing Sect.
It was tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard.
But looking at Jiang Yuechu's current appearance, how could everyone not know the other's thoughts?
It was nothing more than a Loose Cultivator who had just arrived from the outside, not knowing the ins and outs of this Cultivation Technique.
Now that she had heard the shocking statement that it was comparable to a Spirit Technique, she was probably already surging with excitement, thinking she had stumbled upon some heaven-defying Opportunity.
There was no mockery intended... When they first entered the inner Sect and heard the name of this "Six-Turn Heavenly Moat" for the first time, who wasn't like this Girl in Black Robes today, surging with excitement, eyes shining?
It was just that seeing their former ignorant selves in her, they felt a bit emotional.
In the struggle of the Dao, one wrong step meant falling behind at every step.
If they had understood this principle back then, and spent the time wasted on this technique elsewhere, perhaps their current achievements would be even further than they were now...
Noticing everyone's gazes, Jiang Yuechu met the surrounding stares with some confusion.
What's wrong?
Is listening to a lecture properly considered being an oddity?
Jiang Yuechu frowned slightly.
Could it be that the Disciples of the Jieqing Sect, one of the Nine Great Dao Sects, were all a bunch of unlearned slackers?
Do they not study on a daily basis?
Seeing the Girl in Black Robes looking over with eyes full of confusion, a young Disciple sitting diagonally in front of her hesitated for a moment.
In the end, he couldn't help but turn his body slightly, lowered his voice, and whispered: "This Fellow Daoist... actually, this Cultivation Technique is fine to just listen to; you really don't need to remember it so seriously."
Jiang Yuechu raised an eyebrow and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Is there a trap in this Cultivation Technique?"
Seeing the girl engage in conversation, the Disciple blushed slightly and scratched his head sheepishly.
"Uh... it's not exactly a trap... it's just that this "Six-Turn Heavenly Moat", despite its loud reputation and being hailed as the first technique beneath the Jieqing Spirit Technique, in reality... no one Cultivates it."
"Continue."
The Disciple heard this, so he simply gathered his courage and explained: "This Cultivation Technique is extremely difficult to start. Even if ordinary Disciples spend hundreds of years, they might not even touch the threshold."
He sighed, his expression carrying a bit of the sentimentality of someone who had been through it: "Elder Taizhen is good at everything, but he just loves to recommend that Disciples Cultivate this technique... but he doesn't think about it, if one truly has talent, they might as well wait to become a Personal Disciple and go Cultivate a Spirit Technique; who would do this thankless, foolish task?"
"Oh..."
Jiang Yuechu nodded thoughtfully.
She had thought there was some trap hidden in this Cultivation Technique.
She didn't expect it to be just this?
What a joke.
Since Jiang Yuechu started cultivating, did she really rely on her own Comprehension Ability to struggle through it?
As long as she could get the Complete Manual of the Cultivation Technique.
When the time came, she would just pour some Dao Cultivation into it; no matter what the threshold was, wouldn't it be a matter of course?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuechu shook her head, her expression still indifferent.
"I know, thank you."
After saying this, she turned her head back, rested her chin on one hand, and continued to stare at Elder Taizhen on the high platform, listening with relish.
The young Disciple who had warned her stood frozen in place.
Looking at the girl's appearance, how could he not know what she meant?
He immediately felt that he couldn't hold his face up.
He had kindly advised her to save her from taking a detour.
As a result, she just gave a perfunctory reply and turned a deaf ear to it.
"Hey..."
The Disciple frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Why are you so unwilling to listen to advice..."
Before he could finish, another Disciple beside him reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
He shook his head slightly, glanced at Jiang Yuechu, and whispered to stop him: "Forget it, why waste your breath... When she hits the wall herself and wastes decades of time on this "Six-Turn Heavenly Moat", she will naturally know how serious it is."
A female Disciple beside her covered her mouth and giggled: "She is a Guest Elder after all; perhaps she really has extraordinary talent and can master this divine technique."
As soon as the words fell, a burst of low laughter came from around them.
Jiang Yuechu, however, couldn't be bothered to pay attention, quietly watching Elder Taizhen on the high platform, recording the essence of the "Six-Turn Heavenly Moat" formula into her heart without missing a word.
"..."
Seeing that the Girl in Black Robes had no reaction, everyone felt it was boring.
Coupled with the fact that they didn't want to listen to Elder Taizhen's lecture, they simply gathered in twos and threes and began to discuss Jiang Yuechu's identity in low voices.
"Speaking of which, how many years has it been since our Jieqing Sect had a nominal Guest Elder?"
A Disciple with a fair complexion lowered his voice, "What is this woman's background anyway?"
"Could it be that she really is gifted and has a unique bone structure... and was spotted by some Elder traveling outside and brought back to the Sect as an exception?"
"Pfft."
Someone immediately retorted: "If she really had that kind of talent, she would have been taken in as a Personal Disciple directly."
As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Yuechu, his tone sour, "Why would she need to be a Guest Elder in name only?"
This remark caused many people to nod secretly.
The whispers at the back of the hall naturally could not be hidden from Elder Taizhen on the high platform.
The old man's preaching voice paused slightly.
His brows furrowed.
Just as he was about to speak out and reprimand them.
Suddenly.
His gaze crossed over the many figures and looked toward the very back of the hall with astonishment.
The Disciples who had been whispering in the hall also noticed the anomaly and turned their heads in unison.
Immediately after.
Everyone was stunned on the spot.
The girl in white robes was still sitting cross-legged, her posture casual.
But around the girl.
The galaxy hung upside down, and the Heavenly Moat flowed.
The atmosphere was magnificent, and the Dao rhyme was a Heavenly Accomplishment.
The first technique beneath the Jieqing Spirit Technique.
"Six-Turn Heavenly Moat", supreme.
Completed!
