Chapter 9: Chapter 9: The Sect’s First Teachings
As Chan Li and Xie Yun settled into the hidden realm, the atmosphere buzzed with spiritual energy. The untouched land was a cultivator's paradise dense forests brimming with rare herbs, waterfalls flowing with liquid spiritual essence, and towering peaks where the wind carried the whispers of ancient Dao.
This place was perfect for the Heavenly Mystical Sect.
But before the sect could rise, Xie Yun needed to learn the path of cultivation.
Understanding Tai Chi Cultivation
Chan Li sat cross-legged before Xie Yun, his expression calm and unreadable.
"Your body is unique, containing both divine and demonic energy. If you tried to cultivate using the methods of the outside world, you would have been torn apart."
Xie Yun shuddered, remembering the painful surges of energy that had tormented him since birth.
"But I have created a method suited just for you Tai Chi Cultivation."
He lifted his hand, and two energies manifested a radiant white light and a deep black mist. They swirled in his palm, intertwining perfectly, neither overpowering the other.
"Tai Chi is balance. Light and dark, divine and demonic when merged, they create something beyond both. If you can master this, no one in this world will be able to match you."
Xie Yun's eyes widened.
"Master… will I truly be able to cultivate?"
"Sit. Breathe. Follow my guidance."
Opening the First Meridian
Xie Yun obeyed, crossing his legs as Chan Li guided him through the Tai Chi Breathing Technique.
At first, Xie Yun struggled the demonic energy in his body resisted control, lashing out like an untamed beast. The divine energy flared in response, threatening to destroy him from within.
But Chan Li's voice remained steady.
"Do not reject either energy. Accept them. Guide them like flowing water."
Xie Yun gritted his teeth and focused. He imagined the two energies dancing rather than fighting opposing forces in harmony rather than chaos.
Then BOOM!
A powerful shockwave erupted from his body. The ground trembled. Nearby trees swayed.
And for the first time in his life… Xie Yun felt peace.
His body no longer burned. His meridians, once blocked, were now clear.
His cultivation had officially begun.
"You have taken the first step." Chan Li said, a rare trace of approval in his voice.
Xie Yun opened his eyes, filled with determination.
"Master… I will not fail you!"
Chan Li smirked.
"Good. Because we have much work to do."
The First Steps of the Heavenly Mystical Sect
With Xie Yun now on the path of cultivation, the true building of the sect could begin.
More disciples. More knowledge. More power.
And soon… the world would know that the Heavenly Mystical Sect had risen.
