893: Chapter 889: The History of Xuan Yun Technique 893: Chapter 889: The History of Xuan Yun Technique “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”…
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and Sima Yun were already locked in combat.
Within mere moments, they exchanged four moves, each unleashing an explosive sound.
The clash of their Inner Strength caused the entire mountainside to start trembling.
“What on earth are those two doing?
Why can’t I see their movements at all?”
“Their speed has reached such an astonishing level.
Is this even humanly possible?”
“Too fast!
Simply too fast!!”
…
Among the disciples of Tianmen, whether they were Outer Sect Disciples or Inner Sect Disciples, all gasped in amazement.
Though they prided themselves as martial experts, none of them could see the actions of either Ye Tian or Sima Yun!
Unable to even catch a glimpse, let alone defeat them…
Of everyone present, only the four elders of the Ye family could barely discern Ye Tian and Sima Yun’s silhouettes, but even then, it was just vague shadows — far from being truly “clear.”
“That brat Ye Tian, it seems his strength has risen another level.
The Carefree Pill truly is a remarkable thing!”
“Indeed!
Ye Tian is formidable, but Sima Yun is equally formidable!
This guy’s martial skills have improved by leaps and bounds after mastering the final stage of Wind Flow Strength — it’s simply indescribable!”
“But if Ye Tian and Sima Yun are unleashing this much power and speed at the very start, won’t this battle end quickly?”
“You’re wrong, Ye Zhicang!
From what I see, neither of them has gone all out.
Those moves just now were nothing more than warmups for them!”
The Ye family elders offered various opinions on the battle between Ye Tian and Sima Yun.
Initially, Ye Zhicang hesitated to believe this.
But after Ye Zhirong pointed it out, he realized that the techniques displayed by Ye Tian and Sima Yun were indeed just warmups.
Neither of them had truly used their full strength…
“Bang!” “Bang!”…
Ye Tian and Sima Yun exchanged two more moves before each retreated a step.
Finally, the gathered crowd could clearly see the figures of these two unparalleled warriors.
“Huh?”
A look of astonishment appeared on Sima Yun’s face.
“I thought I was on the cusp of being invincible, yet I didn’t expect to be matched evenly in combat with you!
Ye Tian, you are the first among my opponents to achieve this!”
Sima Yun sighed, as indeed, after mastering the final move of Wind Flow Strength and absorbing the Sect Leader Wu Weizi’s power, his strength had skyrocketed!
Even when faced against the combined efforts of Ye family elders and numerous disciples of Tianmen, Sima Yun felt not the slightest fear and effortlessly defeated them all.
It was no wonder he carried a certain arrogance.
But to Sima Yun’s surprise, Ye Tian fought him to a standstill with ease.
This realization struck Sima Yun deeply!
“Could it be that you also consumed the Carefree Pill?”
Sima Yun asked directly.
Ye Tian, naturally unwilling to conceal anything, chuckled and said, “You’ve taken it, so why wouldn’t I?”
“Hmph!
Not a disciple of Tianmen, yet you managed to consume the Carefree Pill to enhance your power.
Ye Tian, it seems fortune truly favors you!”
Sima Yun sneered, knowing full well that the Carefree Pill was a secret elixir of Tianmen.
Even Inner Sect Disciples rarely had the opportunity to consume it — let alone Ye Tian, an outsider!
Back when Sima Yun sought to enhance his own strength, he had to beg Sect Leader Wu Weizi repeatedly before finally receiving a single Carefree Pill.
After consuming it, his inner pathways felt significantly smoother, his old internal injuries healed, and most importantly, his power surged several-fold — a testament to the potency of the pill!
This extraordinary increase in strength later allowed Sima Yun to subjugate mighty figures like Ye Zhihuan; something the former Sima Yun could never have accomplished!
“The same goes for you, Sima Yun.
Your strength has also exceeded my expectations!”
Ye Tian remarked in admiration.
Despite suffering heavy injuries in his battle with Wu Weizi, the Carefree Pill had remarkable healing and power-boosting effects.
After consuming it, Ye Tian clearly felt his abilities improve significantly.
Yet, when he clashed with Sima Yun, he still found himself unable to decisively defeat him.
Sima Yun’s strength also earned Ye Tian’s respect.
“Exceeded your expectations?
Ye Tian, don’t preach from a moral high ground — such arrogance only serves to anger me greatly!”
Clearly displeased, Sima Yun coldly retorted.
“…”
Ye Tian chose not to respond further to Sima Yun’s words.
He calmly began channeling his Inner Strength, sensing that from Sima Yun’s expression, the man was about to get serious.
“Ye Tian, earlier when you fought me, you seemed to use Tianmen’s Xuan Yun Technique, didn’t you?”
Sima Yun suddenly asked.
Startled, Ye Tian hadn’t expected Sima Yun to inquire about such things amidst their duel.
Still, since his use of Xuan Yun Technique was no secret, Ye Tian had no qualms admitting it.
“Indeed!
It is the Xuan Yun Technique — I happened upon it by sheer luck!”
As for how he obtained the Xuan Yun Technique, Ye Tian offered no further explanation to Sima Yun.
To Ye Tian, Xuan Yun Technique was the first cultivation method he used to harness the force of nature, and it remained his most critical technique!
After all, all of Ye Tian’s other powers relied on the Xuan Yun Technique’s Power of the Clouds as their foundation.
To unleash Xuan Yun Technique was to summon the entirety of his strength!
“So it is indeed the Xuan Yun Technique!”
Sima Yun sighed, his gaze lingering on Ye Tian…
“Ye Tian, do you know what secret I discovered in the Lang Huan Cave?”
“A secret?
What secret?”
It was odd that Sima Yun chose not to continue attacking but instead fixated on chatting.
This puzzled Ye Tian somewhat.
“Hehehe~~~ Truth be told, in addition to mastering the final move of Wind Flow Strength in Lang Huan Cave, I obtained something else!”
Sima Yun chuckled smugly, his laughter sending chills down everyone’s spine…
“What did you obtain?”
Only Ye Tian remained calm, conversing steadily with Sima Yun.
Since Sima Yun had opened the topic, he no longer held back.
“It’s something truly marvelous!
In Lang Huan Cave, I found the long-lost Xuan Yun Technique preserved within Tianmen’s forbidden grounds!”
“What!?”
Ye Tian was stunned.
According to Sima Yun, the supposedly lost technique had never been lost but rather safeguarded in Tianmen’s restricted area, beyond the knowledge of disciples.
“Moreover, that record of Xuan Yun Technique contained historical revelations about it!”
Sima Yun spoke eloquently while everyone, including Ye Tian, listened intently — their curiosity piqued regarding the technique’s history.
“Wind Flow Strength and Xuan Yun Technique were both Tianmen’s secret techniques.
Both granted immense power upon cultivation!
However, disputes arose between disciples of Wind Flow Strength and Xuan Yun Technique due to the differing methods.
The schism widened, eventually leading to violent conflict within the sect.
In the end, disciples of Wind Flow Strength nearly annihilated those cultivating Xuan Yun Technique, thus leaving no practitioners of Xuan Yun Technique within Tianmen.
As Xuan Yun Technique neared extinction, the remaining disciples went to great lengths to preserve it — concealing the technique in Tianmen’s forbidden grounds being one such measure.
Ye Tian, though I don’t know how you learned the Xuan Yun Technique, it’s evident you encountered one of those ‘alternate preservation methods’!”
“…”
Ye Tian didn’t dispute Sima Yun’s words, for they aligned with how he obtained the Xuan Yun Technique — a consequence of Tianmen’s inner turmoil.
Who would’ve thought Tianmen disciples would infuse the power of Xuan Yun Technique into river stones, gifting them to an archaeologist?
Had Ye Tian not acquired such a stone, dropped it into a fish tank, and discerned the movement patterns of the fish, it’s unlikely anyone would’ve uncovered the Xuan Yun Technique’s essence…
Seeing Ye Tian unmoved by his remarks, Sima Yun continued, “Indeed, that history is bygone.
Bringing it up now is pointless.
However, the Xuan Yun Technique record also reveals one crucial insight!”
Judging by Sima Yun’s smug expression, Ye Tian could tell this man had stumbled upon a method to further amplify his power!
“Another crucial insight?
What is it?”
Ye Tian asked curiously, while Sima Yun extended his hand.
“What do you think?”
Sima Yun’s cryptic response carried a mocking tone.
Suddenly, clouds of mist began forming in Sima Yun’s palm.
Ye Tian recognized it immediately.
It was none other than the Power of the Clouds!
This clarified one thing — Sima Yun had indeed mastered the Xuan Yun Technique preserved in Lang Huan Cave!
“So what if it’s Xuan Yun Technique!
Sima Yun, even if you mastered it and absorbed the Power of the Clouds, I doubt you can adapt it to real combat so quickly.”
Ye Tian spoke indifferently, but Sima Yun shook his head.
“You’re wrong, Ye Tian!
The most critical insight recorded in the Xuan Yun Technique isn’t merely its cultivation method—it’s a single phrase: ‘Wind and Cloud Combined, Maha Infinity!'”
