Free Web NovelChapter 405: Chapter 213: Master of the Ten-Directional Jungle, Suppressing a True Immortal with a Flip of the Hand
"Ah?" Xuan Qing said. "Master, I’ve already joined Cyan Cloud Temple. How can I switch allegiances and study under someone else? Wouldn’t that be a betrayal of my master and my lineage?"
Yun Yin let out a bitter laugh.
"Right now, Cyan Cloud Temple is just the two of us, master and disciple. What’s this talk of betrayal? As long as you can become a True Immortal, you’ll naturally have the chance to restore Cyan Cloud Temple’s glory in the future."
"In this day and age, everything else is meaningless. Only strength is the foundation upon which one can stand."
"Besides, it’s not even certain this senior will accept you. *Sigh*... Come on. No matter what, we have to give it a try."
He said no more.
He immediately led Xuan Qing and hurried toward the ruined temple.
At that moment.
「Inside the ruined temple.」
RUMBLE—
Wang Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground as thunderous, world-shaking rumbles echoed from within his body.
A primordial power, as if capable of splitting the heavens and sundering the earth, surged from his body.
It caused the surrounding space to twist and distort continuously.
The commotion lasted a full fifteen minutes before it finally began to subside.
Wang Xiao slowly opened his eyes, a Divine Light that seemed to perceive all things welling within them.
’It works, just as I thought. It seems recovering my strength from now on will be much smoother.’
Wang Xiao looked inward and discovered that his Grotto Heaven, previously dormant, had been activated.
A portion of it had now been opened.
Its scope wasn’t large, only a few miles across.
Compared to the hundred million miles of his Grotto Heaven in the Real World, this was a world of difference.
However.
With this portion of the Grotto Heaven, the speed at which he could recover his strength would increase dramatically.
He no longer needed to follow a rigid, step-by-step Cultivation process as before!
’A Grotto Heaven is the evolution of a Purple Mansion and an Inner World, catalyzed by a Dao Fruit.’
’Just now, after I refined those malevolent spirits, I directly opened my Purple Mansion and Inner World, which in turn naturally activated my Grotto Heaven. This has let me skip many intermediate steps in the Cultivation process.’
’It seems that the higher one’s Realm, the less necessary it is to follow the original, conventional methods to recover one’s strength.’
Wang Xiao’s expression grew thoughtful.
His current standing was so high that he had a much deeper grasp of the fundamentals.
Therefore, the specific steps of Cultivation were no longer so important to him!
He just needed to find the method that suited him best.
Of course.
This method of restoring one’s strength was only applicable to Wang Xiao.
It would be impossible for anyone else to do the same!
’Although I’ve now opened a Grotto Heaven, which is equivalent to a Quasi-Saint in this world, its area is too small. In a real fight, I’d definitely be no match for an actual Quasi-Saint. My combat power is at most at the level of a True Immortal to a Golden Immortal.’
Wang Xiao mused.
He already knew that a True Immortal was equivalent to a Tier Six Life form that had mastered at least one Divine Technique.
A Golden Immortal was equivalent to a Tier Six Life form that had mastered at least three Divine Techniques.
Of course.
This was just a rough division of Realms. Actual combat power depended on one’s Cultivation Technique and the power of the Divine Techniques one had mastered!
For example, if a True Immortal mastered one of the Original Divine Techniques, their power would be enough to rival a Golden Immortal.
He didn’t dwell on it.
Wang Xiao looked toward the temple entrance and said faintly,
"You two may come in."
TAP TAP TAP!
Soon.
Yun Yin led Xuan Qing, and they cautiously stepped into the ruined temple.
They had seen Wang Xiao cultivating earlier, so they had waited obediently outside the temple, not daring to disturb him.
"Greetings, Senior."
"Greetings, Senior."
Yun Yin and Xuan Qing bowed respectfully to Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao nodded slightly.
"Thank you both for your help. I don’t like being indebted to anyone, so I can grant you one reasonable request."
Hearing this, Yun Yin’s face lit up with joy.
’It seems this senior isn’t a cold and ruthless person.’
After a moment’s thought, he spoke.
"Senior, this disciple of mine has decent talent for Cultivation. However, due to a lack of resources, he has never been able to achieve Dao Entry."
"I hope that Senior can help my disciple achieve Dao Entry and perhaps offer him some guidance."
He didn’t directly ask Wang Xiao to take Xuan Qing as a disciple.
He knew that the higher a person’s Cultivation, the more cautious they were about accepting disciples.
It was unlikely that such a powerful figure would accept a Cultivator who hadn’t even achieved Dao Entry as a disciple over such a small favor.
Wang Xiao’s gaze fell upon Xuan Qing. He could indeed see that the young man’s innate constitution was extraordinary; he was a promising seedling for Cultivation.
However, he might not be suited for cultivating Wang Xiao’s own brand of Martial Arts.
In contrast, Yun Yin, despite his age, had sturdy bones and an outstanding physique. He was well-suited for practicing Martial Arts.
Unfortunately.
He had spent his life cultivating a Daoist Technique he was ill-suited for, which was why he had reached old age with so little to show for his efforts.
"Helping your disciple achieve Dao Entry is simple enough!"
The Grotto Heaven Power in Wang Xiao’s body surged as he lightly tapped a finger between Xuan Qing’s brows.
VMMMM!
In that instant.
Xuan Qing felt a vast and majestic power surge through him.
Suddenly, the world—Heaven and Earth—snapped into focus, appearing before his eyes with a newfound clarity.
At the same time.
He felt the stream of energy within his sea of qi grow immensely powerful, transforming into a purer form of energy.
This was Magical Power!
In that moment, he had successfully achieved Dao Entry.
"He... he achieved Dao Entry? Just like that?!"
Yun Yin, of course, also sensed the change in Xuan Qing. His eyes narrowed.
Moreover.
He could tell this wasn’t just a simple Dao Entry.
This pure fluctuation of Magical Power was something only possessed by those at the Third Layer of Dao Entry!
In other words.
Xuan Qing’s Cultivation had surpassed his own in a single instant!
"Done."
Wang Xiao retracted his arm.
He knew that achieving Dao Entry in this world was simply a matter of opening a sea of qi, similar to a Dantian.
With his current power, helping someone do such a thing was a trivial matter.
He had not only helped Xuan Qing open his sea of qi, but had even opened his Mud Ball Palace as well.
