Hong Huang: I am the cowherd

Chapter 16 Tongtian is Shocked by Su Chen’s Breakthrough

After the disciple initiation ceremony, Duo Bao, the Three Immortal Fairies, and Wu Dang Sheng Mu all gathered around excitedly.

“Junior Brother!”

“Junior Brother!”

Seeing the genuine warmth in their eyes, Su Chen smiled and returned the greeting.

“I greet my Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters!”

“Hehe, Su Chen, does this mean I should start calling you Senior Brother now?”

Kui Niu laughed heartily, clearly in a great mood.

Within the Jie Sect, true disciples were the core members, followed by personal attendants and named disciples. Even though Su Chen had joined later than the named disciples, they still had to address him as Senior Brother.

This distinction between true disciples and named disciples was something no one dared to violate. Although Jie Sect’s rules weren’t strict, this particular tradition was always observed.

“Old friend, I’d still rather have you call me ‘Su Chen, brat.’ It feels more natural that way!”

“Alright!”

Kui Niu laughed in agreement, clearly pleased. Seeing Su Chen blending in so easily with the disciples, Tongtian Sect Leader smiled faintly before speaking.

“Su Chen, I have some things to discuss with you. Come with me.”

“Yes, Master!”

Very soon Su Chen followed Tongtian to Biyou Palace. The palace interior was simple, with little more than a few meditation cushions and minimal decoration.

“Sit.”

Su Chen sat cross-legged on a cushion, wondering what Tongtian wanted to talk about.

“Su Chen, the technique you cultivate isn’t Eight-Nine Mystical Art, but rather Nine Revolutions Mystical Art, correct?”

Swish!

Hearing Tongtian’s words, Su Chen’s heart trembled slightly—then quickly settled down. After all, Tongtian was a Heavenly Dao Saint, one of the Three Pure Ones, formed from Pangu’s primordial spirit.

For someone like him, seeing through Su Chen’s cultivation method would be effortless.

“Master, it is true,” Su Chen admitted. “Before I arrived at Jin’ao Island, I had a strange dream in which I received a golden drop of blood and a cultivation method.”

Regarding the system’s existence, Su Chen would never tell anyone. However, since Tongtian had already noticed something unusual, remaining completely silent would only arouse suspicion.

Thus, giving a half-truth was the best approach.

“As I suspected!”

Hearing Su Chen’s explanation, Tongtian’s eyes gleamed with a faint light, his expression filled with excitement.

Clearly Su Chen was exactly what Tongtian had theorized—‘the One Who Escaped the Great Dao’s Calculations’!

Otherwise, how could he have ‘dreamed’ of receiving Pangu’s divine blood and the Nine Revolutions Mystical Art?

“Su Chen, since you have obtained such a great fortune, I am truly happy for you,” Tongtian said.

“However, Pangu’s techniques include not only the Nine Revolutions Mystical Art, which strengthens the physical body, but also the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art, which refines the primordial spirit.

If you cultivate both together, the results will be beyond imagination!”

As one of Pangu’s Three Pure Ones, Tongtian had always longed to cultivate these techniques—But he lacked Pangu’s bloodline, so even if he obtained the techniques, he could not practice them.

But now—Su Chen had inherited Pangu’s divine blood. If he cultivated both the Nine Revolutions Mystical Art and the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art together—His future achievements would be limitless.

After all, The Nine Revolutions Mystical Art allowed one to achieve Sainthood through the body, While the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art allowed one to achieve Sainthood through the soul.

If the two were combined, what kind of heaven-defying potential would Su Chen unlock?

Could he even become an existence comparable to Pangu himself?

At this thought, Tongtian’s excitement grew uncontrollable.

“As your Master, I will personally teach you the true Nine Revolutions Primordial Art and the full set of Thirty-Six Divine Powers.

As for our Jie Sect’s core technique, the Shangqing Immortal Scripture—it was originally derived from the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art.

You only need to study it, but you don’t need to practice it.”

With that, Tongtian waved his hand, and a radiant sphere of light entered Su Chen’s mind. Inside were the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art, the Shangqing Immortal Scripture, and the Thirty-Six Divine Powers.

“Thank you, Master!”

Although Tongtian didn’t realize that Su Chen’s true cultivation method was actually Pangu’s Supreme Daoist Scripture, Hongmeng Nine Revolutions—Su Chen was still touched by his generosity.

After all, The Nine Revolutions Primordial Art was a sacred technique of the Three Pure Ones. Even the true disciples of Jie Sect were not freely given access to it.

Instead, they were only taught derivative techniques like the Shangqing Immortal Scripture, the Taiqing Immortal Scripture, or the Yuqing Immortal Scripture. This proved just how highly Tongtian valued him.

“There’s no need for gratitude,” Tongtian said with a faint smile.

“Your cultivation is still low for now, so you must not venture out recklessly.

The Primordial World is still filled with dangers. Once you grow stronger, then you can go and explore.”

“Yes, Master!”

Su Chen understood perfectly. The Primordial World was a place where Golden Immortals were nothing special, and Great Luo Golden Immortals were everywhere.

Until he had sufficient strength, there was no reason to go out searching for the Chaos Orb.

“Good!”

Seeing Su Chen’s wisdom and caution, Tongtian nodded in approval.

“Now, I shall explain the true path of cultivation and help you lay a solid foundation.

“After all even with Pangu’s divine blood, if your foundation is not properly established, your future path will become difficult and dangerous.”

At this moment Tongtian Sect Leader himself began to personally teach the Dao to Su Chen. In all of history, Su Chen was the only one to receive such an honor.

“The Great Dao manifests as fifty, yet the Heavenly Way permits only forty-nine.”

As Tongtian spoke, the entire Biyou Palace became filled with an overwhelming aura of Daoist enlightenment. It was as if Su Chen had been submerged in a vast ocean of Dao itself.

Swish!

Very soon, Su Chen’s eyes closed, and he entered a deep state of enlightenment.

“As expected, Su Chen is extraordinary—truly ‘the One Who Escaped the Great Dao’s Calculations’!”

Seeing how quickly Su Chen entered enlightenment, Tongtian’s satisfaction grew immensely. So he continued his lecture, helping Su Chen establish a perfect foundation.

Boom!

Not long after a massive surge of energy erupted as Su Chen broke through to the True Immortal realm. Tongtian was somewhat surprised—but he could still accept it.

After all, Su Chen was the One Who Escaped the Great Dao’s Calculations. With Pangu’s divine blood tempering his body, how could he be compared to ordinary beings?

However, Fifty years later, as Tongtian continued lecturing, Su Chen suddenly broke through again from True Immortal to Golden Immortal. And at that moment Tongtian was truly stunned.

“Fifty years! And he broke through from early-stage Heavenly Immortal… all the way to Golden Immortal!”

This level of breakthrough speed was completely absurd!

Even before the Lich Cataclysm, when the laws of Heaven and Earth were less restrictive, such insane talent had never existed!

Let alone the fact that—Su Chen was just a postnatal human!
