Chapter 206: Sunrise from Tang Valley
Before Yi Yun had the chance to properly learn the “Tai Ah Sacred Technique”, he had many preconceptions of the top cultivation technique of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. He was guessing what this set of cultivation techniques would be like, and today, he finally had the chance to see what it really was like.
But when Yi Yun saw the first volume of the “Tai Ah Sacred Technique”, he was extremely surprised.
The first volume of the “Tai Ah Sacred Technique” only had a few word formulas and some general principles. Other than that, there was only one picture.
This picture was the main focus of the first volume of the “Tai Ah Sacred Technique”.
Yi Yun stumbled because his preconceived notion of a cultivation technique was one that was full of text.
The higher the cultivation technique’s level, the more esoteric text there would be which needed one to understand the concept of the text.
But now, a picture was the first volume of a cultivation technique?

But now, a picture was the first volume of a cultivation technique?
This picture was that of the Sun.
When Yi Yun looked at it, he gradually developed a strange feeling. Although this was just a picture of the Sun, he felt that it emitted an infinite brilliance, as if it was as bright as the Sun in the sky!
This picture…
Yi Yun took in a light breath. He felt that the person who drew this picture had an unusual technique. He had drawing skills of the highest caliber. Every stroke contained an indescribable concept within it that evaded his understanding.
“No wonder the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ is loaned out at such an expensive price! This jade scroll is extremely precious. There’s no way for others to copy this picture of the Sun!”
“In the entire Tai Ah Divine City, there are probably only a few jade scroll copies of the first three volumes of the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’. And each jade scroll might have been drawn by a peerless sage in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom’s millions of years of existence. If one was not the best among the sages, one would not be able to draw this out. Even a current Elder from the Tai Ah Divine City might not have the ability to do this!”
“And this is only the first three volumes. The other volumes of the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ might even have fewer copies. The price would naturally be more expensive!’
Yi Yun was enlightened. The Tai Ah Divine Kingdom strictly regulated the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ due to two reasons. Firstly, the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ was a cornerstone of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, and was not to be spread out easily. Secondly, it was because there were too few jade scroll records of the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’. Since it was a precious resource, not everyone could be given the chance to cultivate it.
Only the best among the best could learn the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’!
Yi Yun carried on looking. Below the picture of the Sun was a paragraph of text. These were the general principles of the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’!
The general principles were in four-word stanzas, with a total of 27 stanzas, making up a total of 108 words!
“Sunrise from Tang Valley, Roaming across the World, Spreading Light Onto World, Brilliant Glorious Magnificent Luster, Ten Suns (arise) from Fusang (a mythological tree or a mysterious land to the East), Who Masters Pure Yang…”
Despite these words being unclear in meaning, there was a mysterious sense of charm reading it. It felt catchy and was smooth to recite.
Yi Yun read it more than ten times in a row. The more he read, the more thoughts he acquired!
He felt as if those words were coming to life. Each word contained within it a spiritual essence. Each stroke was like a sword, with unmatched sharpness!
It was really nicely written!
These words were like the picture of the Sun, and just its shape contained an indescribable concept within it that needed time for one to slowly understand.
Even a mortal calligrapher with excellent drawing skills had no way of producing such a charm.
Although Yi Yun could not understand the concept of the principles and the picture of the sun combined together, but just from reading the principles, Yi Yun felt his blood flow speeding up. It was as if a nice and warm energy was entering his bone marrow.
“Good drawing, good text and good calligraphy!”
