Mythic Cultivation: My Tongtian can’t be this Cute

Chapter 23: Nine Revolution Arcane Art



Tongtian, Yuanshi, and Laozi waited outside of the Titan Tribe’s temple. They turned their heads when they saw the twelve titans come out. Tongtian narrowed her eyes when she sensed their aura, which had almost fully recovered.

"What do you want?" Zhurong brusquely asked.

Di Jiang frowned but didn't rebuke the Titan of Fire.

Tongtian smiled brightly as if Zhurong's rudeness made her happy. "We're here to help you."

Zhurong snorted, "What can you do to us? You're lucky the Demon Clan is here, or else we would target you!"

Tongtian's smile deepened. "The backlash from the Pangu Genesis Formation doesn't feel good, right?"

At the titan's silence, she continued. "We can help you refine twelve formation flags that can bear the pressure in your stead. In all of the Great Desolation, no one is more skilled at artificing than my Second Brother. After all, his inheritance came directly from Father God."

Upon hearing this, many of the titans gritted their teeth. The fact shamed them since they considered themselves the orthodox lineage of Pangu, just like the Three Purities.

"What is the price?" Di Jiang asked. He had to admit that there was no one more suitable than Jade Purity Yuanshi to refine the formation flags. Once Di Jiang spoke, none of the titans went against his decision.

"Six drops of blood essence from each of you," Tongtian stated.

"Why don't you just directly kill us then!" Qiangliang roared. Anger colored his eyes as he glared at Tongtian, who continued to smile as if she hadn't felt it.

"Three drops are needed to refine the flags. The other three is payment for our services," she said. "You didn't think we were doing this out of the goodness of our hearts, did you?"

Di Jiang frowned. "That's too much. You only need two at most. And giving so many will weaken us. What if Heavenly Court attacks us? Are you saying you will protect us?"

Tongtian inwardly rolled her eyes. Outwardly, she said, "You don't have to worry about that. It will take more than ten thousand years for Heavenly Court to recuperate their losses, and by then, the Dao Ancestor's third sermon will be around the corner. Di Jun would have to be an idiot to attack during then. Not to mention the Violet Manor lurking around. Well, I can lower it to five drops then."

"Make it three," Di Jiang said. "For you to refine formation flags, you would need to learn the Pangu Genesis Formation. We can't give it for free."

"Are you joking?" Tongtian asked. "You and I both know that the Pangu Genesis Formation is useless to anyone else but you. Knowing it and not knowing it is no different."

"But you will be different. You will have our blood essence, and it's not impossible for you to make something of it," Di Jiang said. Then he gave Tongtian a pointed look. "Isn't that right, inheritor of formations?"

"Three drops," he continued.

"Five drops," Tongtian said, not relenting.

"Then leave. If you can't accept three drops, then we don't have a deal," Di Jiang said.

Zhurong smiled viciously as he and the other titans brandished their abilities, and Tongtian's smile finally left her face.

Yuanshi stepped forward. "I told you, Third Sister, you shouldn't reason with these brutes. They can only understand with strength."

Three flowers appeared behind Yuanshi, and his Corpse flew out. Laozi followed Yuanshi's lead and his Corpse also appeared. Tongtian sighed, and her white-robed Evil Corpse appeared.

The three revealed Corpses had the cultivation at the Early Quasi-Saint Realm. Coupled with the Three Purities, the twelve titans were facing off against six Quasi-Saints. And unlike the Heavenly Court, they had two more people at the Intermediate Quasi-Saint Realm.

"What's the meaning of this?" Di Jiang demanded.

"Are you blind? It's exactly what it looks like," Yuanshi said.

"Besides, aren’t you the ones to show hostility first? You can't blame us for retaliating," Tongtian said. "Not to mention, when you formed the Pangu Genesis Formation, you tried to absorb us. I'm sure you don't need me to mention what would happen if you succeeded, right?"

Di Jiang stayed silent as he stared at the six Quasi-Saints in front of him. With each passing second, the Three Purities’ momentum continued to rise. They wouldn't need to be so fearful if they had been at their peak, but they had just recovered from the backlash of the Pangu Genesis Formation.

Finally, he sighed. "Alright, I agree, five drops. But the matter of trying to absorb you three will be put behind us. Deal?"

Yuanshi snorted and stored his Corpse. Tongtian nodded after she stored her Evil Corpse.

"But we will only give three drops of blood essence each now. After you refine the formation flags, we can slowly exchange them," Di Jiang said.

Tongtian agreed in place of Yuanshi and Laozi. With the deal hammered out, the twelve titans returned to Pangu Temple. After squeezing out three drops of blood essence each, they exited and handed it to the Three Purities.

With the blood essences in hand, the Three Purities returned to Kunlun Mountain. Tongtian didn't plan on returning to Fangzhang Immortal Island for now. With how weakened Heavenly Court was at the moment, they couldn't destroy the alliance of ten thousand immortals, which meant that she couldn't grab the Kunlun Mirror amidst the turmoil.

Inside Three Purity Hall of Three Purity Palace, the three of them counted their earnings, thirty-six drops of blood floating in front of them.

"I call them brutes, and they don't believe it," Yuanshi said with a laugh with none of his usual sternness. "I only needed a single drop from each of them to refine the formation flags for them."

"It can't be blamed on them. They don't possess a spirit, so they can only estimate," Laozi said, but he was obviously in a good mood as he stroked his long white beard.

"Alright, alright," Tongtian said. "I just need three drops of Di Jiang's and Jiuyin's blood. Since they gave us three, I'll take two of each for now and take the last two after they hand over the rest. You can split the rest."

"I’m afraid not, Third Sister," Yuanshi said. "You're the one who came up with the idea, so you have to take more."

"No, no, I feel that you put in more work since you are the one refining the formation flags. If anything, you should take more," Tongtian said.

"That's not right, you should take more," Yuanshi insisted.

Before Yuanshi and Tongtian could argue more, Laozi interjected. "We'll split it into three equal parts. We are all siblings, what's a few drops of blood between us?"

"But—" Tongtian wanted to continue, but Yuanshi interrupted her.

"That's right, we're siblings. Don't forget, we still owe you for the Ninth-Ranked White Lotuses of Purification," Yuanshi finished.

"Alright," Tongtian relented, but she had a smile that couldn't be wiped off her face. Aside from Di Jiang's and Jieyin's blood, she took one from Houtu, Rushou, Zhurong, Gongong, and Jumang.

After splitting the blood essences, the three didn't leave and stayed to create a method to cultivate their flesh. After personally seeing the Pangu Genesis Formation and with the titans' blood essence, they advanced very quickly.

And thus, the Nine Revolution Arcane Art was created. Although you couldn't cultivate a body equaled to a titan's, it could rival a giant's.

The first revolution correlated to the realm before Earth Immortal.

The second revolution correlated to the Earth Immortal Realm.

The third revolution correlated to the Sky Immortal Realm.

The fourth revolution correlated to the Profound Immortal Realm.

The fifth revolution correlated to the Golden Immortal Realm.

The sixth revolution correlated to the Great Unity Realm.

The seventh revolution correlated to the Great Firmament Realm.

The eighth revolution should correlate to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

The ninth revolution should correlate to the Primordial Origin Realm. At this level, the cultivator should attain a body akin to a chaos fiendgod’s.

Of course, the last two were purely theoretical at this point. Not even the sixth and seventh revolutions had been fully created, only conceptualized.

Still, it was enough for now. The Nine Revolution Arcane Art was only meant to be auxiliary. The priority was still cultivating the law.

Tongtian, Yuanshi, and Laozi returned to their respective halls, Supreme Purity Hall for her. There, Tongtian took out a drop of silver and gold blood essences, Jiuyin's and Di Jiang's.

She took out the Qiankun Cauldron borrowed from Yuanshi and dropped them inside. Tongtian began to merge the two drop essences. It took her much longer to merge them than she expected, over a thousand years, but she was satisfied.

She saved the other rest for later and stared at that silver-gold drop of blood essence. She could feel the Law of Time emanating from the drop of blood essence, but she could also feel something entangled with it, the Law of Space.

"Time is venerated; space is king. Then, what about spacetime?"

Tongtian opened her mouth and swallowed the drop of silver-gold blood essence. She began to circulate the Nine Revolution Arcane Art.

First Revolution.

Second Revolution.

Third Revolution.

Fourth Revolution.

Fifth Revolution!

Tongtian smiled, but it wasn't the increase in her bodily strength that made her happy. She had incorporated the spacetime blood essence into her body, and although she didn't gain any innate abilities like the titans, her sense for the Law of Time increased, however slight it was.

In addition, she finally sensed the Law of Space that eluded her for years. Once she mastered both of them, she would merge them into the Law of Spacetime.

Tongtian’s smile took a self-deprecating manner. "I haven't even mastered the Law of Time yet or embarked on the Law of Space. Why am I getting ahead of myself?"

During the time she was cultivating the Nine Revolution Arcane Art, Laozi had severed his second Corpse. Three Thousand years later, or a thousand years ago for her, Yuanshi also severed his second Corpse.

Tongtian left the Supreme Purity Hall to find Laozi. She wanted the Ninth-Ranked Red Lotus of Karma. Laozi had focused on nurturing the red lotus first before nurturing the green lotus seeds.vOnce she received the Ninth-Ranked Red Lotus of Karma, Tongtian returned to Supreme Purity Hall. She focused on reaching her optimum state. Once reached, she said. "SEVER!"

Three magnolia flowers appeared behind her above a silver river. On her right, a humanoid figure formed and flew into the Ninth-Rank Red Lotus of Karma.

The good thoughts she used to sever her Good Corpse were the emotions that came from being the orthodox lineage of Pangu. It was not wrong to take pride in one's lineage, but excessive pride would turn into arrogance.

For some, it might be their evil thoughts, but for Tongtian, it was her good thoughts.

A third pressure emanated from Kunlun Mountain again. It soon reached thirty thousand li, sixty thousand li, and finally stopped at ninety-thousand li. By this point, the denizens of the Great Desolation were no longer surprised by the Three Purities' abnormal cultivation speed.

Back inside the Supreme Purity Hall, the Ninth-Rank Red Lotus of Karma released a red light and transformed. When the transformation was over, the red lotus transformed into a man with fifty percent resemblance to Tongtian.

The man wore red robes and had excessive beauty. It wasn't beauty that made him feminine, but a sort of handsomeness that transcended any form of description. Between his brows was an arrogance, open and unashamed.

Tongtian waved her hand and stored her Good Corpse. There were only a few thousand years left before the Dao Ancestor's third sermon. Until then, Tongtian focused on comprehending the Law of Time and the Law of Space.


Kong Xuan meditated under the Five Element Tree. While under the connate spiritual root, Kong Xuan's lips constantly moved as he gained insights into the five elements. Finally, he opened his eyes. Five colored lights emitted from his pupils before they dimmed.

After he joined Violet Manor, Dong Wanggong wanted to slice off a branch for Kong Xuan to refine into an innate spiritual artifact. He wanted to hook Kong Xuan in immediately after feeling the disparity between the Heavenly Court and Titan Tribe compared to Violet Manor. However, Kong Xuan stopped him as he still needed to comprehend under the complete Five Element Tree.

Dong Wanggong had completely misunderstood Kong Xuan's thoughts, thinking that he was considering the overall future of Violet Manor. So, he gave Kong Xuan two low-grade innate spiritual artifacts and one middle-grade innate spiritual artifact.

Kong Xuan snorted as he recalled this. Did Dong Wanggong really think his charisma was that impressive?

Nothing more than a pawn for Hongjun's schemes. Still, Dong Wanggong had his uses.

Kong Xuan stood up and flew towards an essence-filled cave on Penglai Immortal Island. All-in-all, it actually surpassed his former residence near the Undying Volcano in the South. Once inside, he began to optimize his condition.

It was time to enter the Quasi-Saint Realm.

He reached his peak condition a hundred years later. Three flowers and five differently colored clouds appeared behind him. His qi separated into five balls of light, and each entered a cloud.

After a certain amount of time, the balls of light emerged from the clouds; each had been stained by the cloud's color. They shifted and entered another cloud. When they came out, they had two colors. The process repeated until each ball glowed five colors.

All five balls of light merged and entered Kong Xuan's body. His body released a five-colored aura, and along with it was tremendous pressure. The pressure exceeded one thousand li, two thousand li, three thousand li, five thousand li, ten thousand li, fifteen thousand li, twenty thousand li, and finally stopped at thirty thousand li.

Kong Xuan had finally entered the Quasi-Saint Realm.
