Free Web NovelChapter 465: Chapter 207: The Treacherous Jianghu, Infinite Evolution
Guo Wei cautioned.
Chu Lingguang nodded in understanding. He thought back on his journey and the opponents he had faced—whether it was Yan Chengdu, Emperor Yue Xuan, or Chen Jin, Xia Tianzhong, Xu Kanghui, Long Xin, and the others—all of them had been honorable and forthright people.
But this was all on the premise that they had not yet clashed in the political arena. Everyone still maintained a pure heart. Once they entered different factions in the future and friction arose between them, this relationship might not last.
Even Mr. Du, who admired him so much, did so because he saw him as someone worth cultivating. Once greater interests were at stake, their relationship could no longer remain as pure as before.
Chu Lingguang understood Guo Wei’s warning: he had to be wary of not only hostile forces but also the people around him. With the Provincial Examination’s Martial Arts Examination fast approaching, once he passed and entered the Court, no matter what official position he started with, the people around him could no longer be as pure as before.
He not only had to be on his guard, but also know how to hide his true abilities.
"Master, I will remember your teachings."
Chu Lingguang said.
Guo Wei nodded, then began to explain the differences in Elixir Field Power to Chu Lingguang.
"As long as a power is awakened in the Dantian, no matter who it is, that power can evolve. Some people have a lower starting point, while others have a higher one. Your Little Red Horse in your Dantian can command the Wind and Wave Power, so your starting point is clearly far higher than most."
"Elixir Field Power is diverse and varied, but it can be divided into three main categories."
"The first category is common instruments, like Yan Zhen’s saber."
"The second category is living creatures, like your Little Red Horse and my White Tiger."
"The third category is miscellaneous and rather general. The severed, bloody hand of your big brother, Mo Shan, is a third-category power."
"There’s no hierarchy among these three categories. Every power can evolve infinitely. The more it evolves, the stronger its foundation becomes, and the further one can go in their cultivation."
"My White Tiger has already evolved three times."
"At first, it was just a Tiger’s Roar Illusion. Then, it achieved Bones Taking Form. Now, it possesses Tiger’s Soul Power. If it can evolve again, it will gain the Momentum of a Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain and might even help me break through to the Life and Death Realm."
ROAR!
As he was explaining, Guo Wei summoned the White Tiger again.
Tiger’s Roar Illusion was when the White Tiger’s phantom would flash by, unable to fully materialize; one could only feel its deafening roar.
Bones Taking Form was when the White Tiger’s figure could materialize on the surface of his body for an extended period, erupting with the Root Bone Power of a Tiger King.
Tiger’s Soul Power was when a new power was born within the White Tiger, flowing like fresh blood, allowing it to unleash the power of both flesh and bone. Aside from being a phantom in form, the power it possessed was just like that of a true Tiger King.
As for the fourth level, the Momentum of a Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain, it would allow the White Tiger Power to separate from his body and work in tandem with its master. It could channel its own power back into Guo Wei, and Guo Wei could, in turn, control it to wreak havoc.
However, every evolution for a power within the Dantian was incredibly difficult.
Above the fourth level was a fifth, and above the fifth was a sixth. Just as Guo Wei had said, it could evolve infinitely.
Even Guo Wei couldn’t say for sure to what extent it could evolve.
But he had said that reaching the fourth level would help him break through to the Life and Death Realm, which showed just how important Elixir Field Power was to a True Martial Realm expert.
Chu Lingguang was completely shocked.
He summoned the Little Red Horse again.
The phantom of the Little Red Horse flashed past.
He asked, "Master, in that case, what level is my Elixir Field Power at?"
The Little Red Horse could control the Wind and Wave Power. Chu Lingguang couldn’t believe it was only at the first level.
However, this question stumped Guo Wei.
Guo Wei thought for a moment before saying, "Everyone’s Elixir Field Power is different. I have never seen anyone who, after awakening a Living Creature Power, could immediately control a Potential Power."
"And what’s more, it looks exactly like your Little Red Horse. Besides being a bit bigger, there’s no visible difference."
Guo Wei was completely baffled by this.
Logically, even if his White Tiger Power reached the fourth level and could separate from his body, it still wouldn’t be able to grasp a Potential Power. For the White Tiger to master a Potential Power, it would probably have to evolve even further—and he couldn’t say to what level.
"Then how should I cultivate in the future?"
Chu Lingguang never thought that he would one day be able to stump Guo Wei.
"In the path of cultivation, all changes stem from the same root: communicate, awaken, and integrate."
Guo Wei said with profound gravity.
"My White Tiger Power had its evolutionary techniques recorded because predecessors had awakened it before. But your Little Red Horse appeared together with the Wind and Wave Power and can even command it... I have never seen or heard of such a thing. Perhaps only an expert from Yuanchu Mountain could answer this for you. If you meet Teacher Yun Hong in the future, you can ask him."
Guo Wei said, looking ashamed.
He’d never imagined he would be stumped by a question from a disciple who hadn’t even taken the Provincial Examination yet.
"Yes, I understand. Communicate, awaken, and integrate!"
Chu Lingguang committed these three elements to memory.
"Master, can you tell me about the other kinds of Elixir Field Power you’ve seen?"
Chu Lingguang was full of curiosity about this.
"Of course," Guo Wei said, holding nothing back. "Take your Senior Brother Shaorong, for example. The power he awakened is an instrument—a Black Cauldron. It just recently entered the third level."
"The third level?"
Chu Lingguang was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected Yang Shaorong to be so strong. ’As expected of my Senior Brother.’
But Guo Wei explained, "Shaorong’s talent actually wasn’t outstanding at first. When he took the Provincial Examination’s Martial Arts Examination, he hadn’t even Opened his Dantian and Qi Sea. Despite that, he easily opened a six-layered Dharma Aspect, and his use of Primitive Power far surpassed ordinary people. It was only during the Imperial Examination that he Opened his Dantian and Qi Sea. In fact, he obtained his power from his Dantian before his Qi Sea even reached Perfection. With that power, he pushed his body’s defenses to the absolute limit of the Qi Sea, consecutively defeated three disciples of the Wei Family, and ultimately distinguished himself in the Imperial Examination."
