I cultivate the Chaos Technique

Standing atop the Heavenly Peak of the Lingyun Sword Sect, Zhang Yifan was greeted by a magnificent and mysterious scene. Before the mountain gate, a biting mountain wind, carrying a rich spiritual energy, rushed towards him, as if proclaiming the majesty and glory of this ancient sacred land. Surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, the entire mountaintop seemed shrouded in a veil, resembling a fairyland. From the towering ancient trees to the rugged rocks, everything exuded an indescribable aura of mystery.

At this moment, Zhang Yifan's emotions were as complex and surging as the scenery before him. He felt both the joy and excitement of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and the nervousness and unease of soon becoming a disciple of Xuan Kongzi. Years of training and life-or-death trials had finally led him to successfully break through the Foundation Establishment stage, taking a significant step on his cultivation path. Now, he would, according to the promise of the Supreme Elder Xuan Kongzi, formally become a disciple of this legendary and unfathomable elder. At this moment, Zhang Yifan understood that his cultivation path was about to usher in a new beginning, a new stage full of opportunities and challenges.

Xuan Kongzi, the most mysterious Supreme Elder of the Lingyun Sword Sect, has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from the legendary Deity Transformation realm. Xuan Kongzi rarely appears in the sect, but his reputation is legendary, known throughout the entire cultivation world. As early as the Golden Core stage, Xuan Kongzi had already risen to fame. With his unparalleled talent and extraordinary perseverance, he broke through to the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages, and now he has reached the peak of the Great Perfection of the Deity Transformation realm. Being Xuan Kongzi's disciple is an honor coveted by countless disciples of the Lingyun Sword Sect; to become his disciple signifies supreme glory and endless possibilities for the future.

Zhang Yifan took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement. He straightened his clothes and strode towards the magnificent mountain gate. The disciples guarding the gate nodded slightly and stepped aside to make way for him, clearly knowing that he was about to formally become a disciple of Xuan Kongzi, this unfathomable elder.

Passing through the mountain gate, Zhang Yifan ascended the winding stone steps towards Xuan Kongzi's residence. The clouds and mist atop Tianfeng Peak gradually dissipated with his steps, opening up a wider vista. The view from the summit suddenly became breathtaking; a simple thatched hut stood quietly amidst the clouds, seemingly one with the world. Before the hut stood several cultivators of varying temperaments—Xuan Kongzi's disciples, among the top experts of the Lingyun Sword Sect.

A sense of tension and awe welled up in Zhang Yifan's heart. He understood that he was about to become the junior brother of these senior brothers and sisters, each of whom held an extremely high position and strength within the Lingyun Sword Sect. The responsibility and pressure on his shoulders became exceptionally heavy at this moment.

A tall, handsome young cultivator stepped forward first. He had a calm demeanor and exuded a mature aura that gave off an invisible sense of pressure. The young man smiled slightly, his tone gentle yet authoritative: "You must be Zhang Yifan? I am your senior brother, named Ling Yunfeng, the peak master of the eighth-level peak."

He had long heard of this senior brother. Lingyun Peak was the strongest among the nine peak masters of Lingyun Sword Sect, with a cultivation level reaching the early stage of Nascent Soul. It should be noted that even the sect master of Lingyun Sword Sect was only at the Great Perfection of Golden Core.

Zhang Yifan quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said respectfully, "Greetings, Senior Brother."

Ling Yunfeng nodded, his tone slightly encouraging: "No need for formalities. Today is an important day for you to become a disciple of our master. We, your senior brothers and sisters, have come here especially to welcome you."

Behind Ling Yunfeng stood a tall, slender woman with a cold and aloof demeanor. Her eyes held a hint of detachment, as if she were not adept at expressing her emotions. Ling Yunfeng pointed to the woman and continued, "This is your second senior sister, Lin Qingzhu, the peak master of Qingzhu Peak. Don't let her cold appearance fool you; she cares deeply about her fellow disciples. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask her for guidance."

Lin Qingzhu nodded slightly, her voice cool and indifferent: "Greetings, Junior Brother."

Zhang Yifan dared not be negligent and quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Second Senior Sister."

Lin Qingzhu didn't say much, only glancing indifferently at Zhang Yifan before returning to her original spot. Her indifference wasn't arrogance, but rather a natural expression of her personality. As one of the geniuses of the Lingyun Sword Sect, Lin Qingzhu displayed extraordinary swordsmanship talent from a young age, and had now reached the late Golden Core stage. Her swordsmanship enjoyed a high reputation both within and outside the sect, especially her unique Green Bamboo Sword Technique, which was as graceful as the wind and as sharp as lightning. She had once fought ten opponents single-handedly in the sect's grand competition, achieving instant fame. Lin Qingzhu's prestige among the disciples of Green Bamboo Peak was extremely high; she was regarded as a goddess in their hearts.

Ling Yunfeng continued, "This is my third senior brother, Han Wenhao. He is proficient in formations and talismans, and has a straightforward personality."

Han Wenhao smiled, patted Zhang Yifan on the shoulder, and said in a friendly tone, "From now on, we're fellow disciples. If you need any help, just come to me."

Feeling Han Wenhao's enthusiasm, Zhang Yifan relaxed a little and quickly said, "Thank you, Third Senior Brother."

Han Wenhao is the most skilled disciple of Xuan Kongzi in array formations and talismans, immersing himself in the study of various array mysteries and talismanic arts. His straightforward and sincere personality makes him well-liked by his fellow disciples. Within the Lingyun Sword Sect, Han Wenhao is renowned as a "talisman and array prodigy," having single-handedly set up multiple arrays to successfully repel a surprise attack, rendering a great service to the sect. His talismanic skills are unparalleled; he excels at creating various offensive and defensive runes, resulting in a sky full of flying talismans with astonishing power during battle.

Then, Ling Yunfeng introduced the other senior brothers and sisters to Zhang Yifan one by one: "This is the fourth senior brother Zhao Qingshan. He is skilled in alchemy and has a gentle personality; this is the fifth senior sister Li Mengyao. She is proficient in the art of beast taming and has a lively and cheerful personality; this is the sixth senior sister Fang Xue. Although her cultivation level is not high, she has extremely high talent in swordsmanship and a tenacious personality."

Zhao Qingshan appeared to be a gentle and refined middle-aged man, always dressed in a blue robe, giving off a friendly aura. He was highly skilled in alchemy, having concocted numerous precious elixirs for the sect, and was a recognized master alchemist both within and outside the sect. Zhao Qingshan was mild-mannered and always humble and polite in his interactions, thus enjoying excellent relationships both inside and outside the sect. Zhang Yifan had heard that Zhao Qingshan had once suffered a backlash from the alchemical fire during an alchemy session, nearly suffering a qi deviation, but thanks to his extraordinary perseverance and dedication to the art of alchemy, he survived. Not only was he unharmed, but he also broke through a bottleneck in his cultivation during that experience, becoming a legendary figure both within and outside the sect.

Li Mengyao is a cheerful and lively woman skilled in beast taming, possessing a deep bond with various spirit beasts. She is always surrounded by a diverse group of spirit beasts, who work seamlessly with her, making them incredibly powerful in battle. Although Li Mengyao appears delicate and cute, she is exceptionally fierce in combat. She once single-handedly tamed a legendary Flame Lion King, astonishing the entire sect. Li Mengyao's beast taming is not merely simple subjugation, but a profound connection and seamless cooperation, a crucial reason for her remarkable achievements in this art.

Fang Xue is one of Xuan Kongzi's youngest disciples. Although her cultivation level is not as high as her senior brothers and sisters, her talent in swordsmanship is exceptional, often surprising others. From a young age, she has had a deep interest in swordsmanship, possessing extraordinary talent and high comprehension. Currently, her cultivation has reached the early Golden Core stage, but her swordsmanship is already remarkable. Among the younger generation of the Lingyun Sword Sect, Fang Xue has a considerable reputation. Legend has it that during a training exercise, she defeated a late Foundation Establishment cultivator with only early Foundation Establishment cultivation, a battle that made her famous within the sect. She is resilient, indomitable, and always pursues the ultimate in swordsmanship, giving people an aura of invincibility.

Zhang Yifan bowed to each of his senior brothers and sisters, secretly admiring their strength and cultivation. He knew that becoming Xuan Kongzi's disciple meant he was standing at a new starting point, a path destined to be bumpy. Facing these outstanding senior brothers and sisters, Zhang Yifan found his direction in life.
