Chapter 37
🕑 Added 2024-01-19 13:05:32 +0000 UTCOver the years, Lin Yuan has been a lone wanderer.
Nevertheless, he gets along well with Qingping.
Mainly because Qingping often comes over to chat with Lin Yuan, whether there's anything going on or not.
Incidentally, he talks about various news on Longhu Mountain.
Apart from Qingping, Elder Changqing visits Lin Yuan every once in a while.
For Elder Changqing, Lin Yuan is no different from his own offspring.
Regardless of whether Lin Yuan becomes a Celestial Master or not, Elder Changqing's attitude remains unchanged.
In Elder Changqing's heart, there has always been a sense of guilt towards Lin Yuan.
If he had arrived in time back then, Zhang Family might not have met such an end.
And Lin Yuan wouldn't have lived a frugal life on Longhu Mountain from a young age.
"A few days ago, the sect leader asked the four of us to go down the mountain for training."
Qingping casually mentioned.
The 'four of us' he referred to are the four disciples who received the Celestial Master's sword during the Sword Mound journey.
Although they can't compare to Lin Yuan, chosen by the True Martial Sword.
But now, they are also the hope of the Tian Shi Sect.
As for why they go down the mountain one by one, it is to prevent extreme events.
For example, if all four of them were to die at the same time.
With Lin Yuan, the Celestial Master's seed, taking a 'deviating path,' if all four Celestial Phenomenon Realm seeds were to die, Longhu Mountain would be at least fifty years in turmoil.
"Go down the mountain?"
Lin Yuan was slightly curious.
Having been aware in this world for eighteen years, Lin Yuan had only been outside on the day he was born.
The rest of the time, he stayed on Longhu Mountain.
"Senior Shanfeng, you are the Celestial Master's seed, different from us, you can't go down the mountain."
Seeing this, Qingping immediately felt a bit uneasy.
Now, he was no longer an ignorant little disciple.
He knew the importance of the Celestial Master's seed to the Tian Shi Sect.
Only disciples recognized by the True Martial Sword can become the Celestial Master's seed.
And each Celestial Master's seed always has the True Martial Sword by their side.
If Lin Yuan were to go down the mountain, it would mean the True Martial Sword would go down with him.
In case of an accident leading to the loss of the True Martial Sword, it would be an unprecedented blow to the Tian Shi Sect.
The current sect leader of this generation would probably be infuriated to the point of spitting blood.
While the deviation of Lin Yuan, the Celestial Master's seed, is indeed serious, it doesn't shake the foundation of the Tian Shi Sect.
At worst, after Lin Yuan dies of old age, the True Martial Sword will return to the Sword Mound, and the Tian Shi Sect will still have hope for the birth of the next Celestial Master.
But if the True Martial Sword is lost, then it would truly be an irreversible disaster.
Qingping could fully anticipate that if Lin Yuan were to sneak out because of him, Daoist Cangqing might want to flay him alive.
"Just kidding."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
He's not a real eighteen-year-old youth.
Considering all the time, Lin Yuan's actual age is probably over fifty.
Add to that his unrivaled insight; he doesn't really need so-called training outside the mountain.
For Lin Yuan, Longhu Mountain is the best place; everything he needs is available, and it's extremely safe.
How could he possibly think about going down the mountain?
"That's good."
Qingping let out a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Senior Shanfeng."
"I've been feeling strange in my recent cultivation."
After chatting for a while, Qingping brought up the topic of cultivation again.
Lin Yuan casually asked a few questions and roughly figured out the reason.
"You're wrong."
"Your state of mind is wrong."
"You are on the path of the Sun's Infinite Extremity."
"The Sun's Infinite Extremity, utmost strength and yang, out-and-out perseverance. Throughout the history of our Tian Shi Sect, thirty-six Celestial Masters, most of them followed the path of the Sun's Infinite Extremity, including the strongest, the first-generation Celestial Master."
"What is the Sun's Infinite Extremity? Utmost strength and yang, forging ahead without hesitation."
Lin Yuan hit the nail on the head, slowly speaking.
It's not that those who follow the path of the Sun's Infinite Extremity are reckless.
It's about having a mindset of unwavering determination, acting decisively.
"So that's how it is."
Qingping suddenly realized.
Indeed, he was quite excited about the matter of going down the mountain for training, wanting to explore the outside world and fearing encountering danger.
Now, after Lin Yuan's reminder, his mindset suddenly became clear.
Hum.
Qingping felt the Qi flowing smoothly within his body, and a hot airflow surged through his limbs and bones incessantly.
"Third grade."
After a moment, Qingping opened his eyes, looking excited.
Taking advantage of Lin Yuan's reminder, he actually directly broke through from the fourth grade to the third grade.
It's important to note that in this world, the levels of cultivation are divided into nine grades.
The ninth grade is the lowest, and the first grade is the highest.
The third grade is already among the top three grades; even on Longhu Mountain, it can be considered a powerful cultivator.
"Thank you, Senior Shanfeng, for your guidance."
Qingping bowed deeply to Lin Yuan.
He knew in his heart that if it weren't for Lin Yuan's words, not only might he not have broken through to the third grade, but his cultivation might have even regressed.
"No need to thank me."
Lin Yuan waved his hand, indifferent.
At his current level, guiding a cultivator who hasn't even reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm is nothing more than child's play.
In the True Martial Hall.
Daoist Cangqing rubbed his forehead, a hint of fatigue flashing in his expression.
With the continuous disturbances from the Demon Sect outside, and the fact that the Tian Shi Sect can't deal with them alone, they have to unite with other righteous forces to suppress them.
Coupled with the fact that the leader of the Demon Sect received the inheritance of the Original Demon Sect, it boosted the morale of the demonic forces.
As a result, every clash between the righteous and demonic forces ended with the defeat of the righteous side.
The various pressures make Daoist Cangqing feel a bit breathless.
"It seems that the leader of the Demon Sect is indeed a remnant of the Original Demon Sect. When the previous Celestial Master traveled the world, he discovered traces of the Original Demon Sect, but couldn't find the source."
"At that time, he thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that the remnants of the Original Demon Sect existed at that time."
"Over the years, the Demon Sect has been secretly supported by the remnants of the Original Demon Sect."
The chubby real person beside him spoke.
As the ancestral land of the Daoist sect and the foremost sect in the world, Longhu Mountain and, in particular, the Tian Shi Sect, naturally have excellent intelligence capabilities. They quickly figured out the details of the Demon Sect.
"It's too late to say these now."
Daoist Cangqing shook his head. The most important thing now is how to continue suppressing the Demon Sect.
Just at this moment, a figure rushed in from outside.
It was Qingping.
"Master, I have reached the third grade."
Qingping's tone was light, sharing this good news.
As the Celestial Phenomenon Realm seed of the Tian Shi Sect, Qingping and the other three disciples have always been directly taught by Daoist Cangqing.
Whenever any of them makes progress in cultivation, they are required to inform Daoist Cangqing immediately.
"Third grade?"
"So fast?"
Daoist Cangqing, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows slightly.
It's not that he doesn't want Qingping to break through, but he is worried that Qingping used some shortcut.
According to the cultivation speed of disciples who obtained the Celestial Master's sword in previous generations, it would take at least fifteen to twenty years to advance to the third grade.
And Qingping, since the beginning of his cultivation, hasn't even reached ten years.
His cultivation speed is obviously abnormal.
"The foundation is solid, I don't see any problems." The chubby real person stepped forward, carefully observing Qingping for a while before concluding.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Cangqing finally relaxed his brows.
"Qingping, what's going on with your cultivation speed?"
Daoist Cangqing still felt somewhat surprised.
"Master, it's Senior Shanfeng who guided me. That's why I broke through so quickly." Qingping truthfully replied.
Before this, although Qingping often received guidance from Lin Yuan, compared to the other three disciples, his cultivation speed was only slightly faster, still within normal limits.
Therefore, Daoist Cangqing did not inquire further, only thinking that it was Qingping's own effort.
However, this time, jumping from the fourth grade to the third grade normally takes five to eight years.
Qingping's effortless breakthrough naturally caught Daoist Cangqing's attention.
"Is it Senior Shanfeng who guided you?"
Daoist Cangqing's tone sounded somewhat astonished.
A few casual pieces of guidance that could allow Qingping to advance to the third grade indicated that his strength should be far beyond the third grade. It's something that even most Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts might not achieve.
"Yes, these years Senior Shanfeng has been guiding me. He's amazing; every word he says enlightens me, and then my strength improves."
Qingping's words undoubtedly struck like thunder in the ears of Daoist Cangqing and other Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts.
Every word he says.
Enlightens people.
And then strength improves.
These three sentences may seem ordinary, but in the ears of Daoist Cangqing and other experts, it signaled something unusual.
To achieve such a scene, one must have a profound understanding of the essence of cultivation and the essence of power.
And this, unexpectedly, came from Lin Yuan, who had already been completely abandoned by Daoist Cangqing?
"I also feel that Senior Shanfeng is very strong. Seeing Senior Shanfeng is like seeing the master."
Seeing Daoist Cangqing silent, Qingping gathered courage and spoke.
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell silent once again.
Similar to Daoist Cangqing?
Daoist Cangqing is a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert, isn't he?
Could it be that Lin Yuan is also a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert?
Entering the Celestial Phenomenon Realm before the age of twenty, there has never been such a case in the history of Celestial Masters.
"Could it be that Shanfeng is truly an unprecedented genius?"
The chubby real person's expression was shocked, muttering to himself.
"Genius."
Daoist Cangqing fell into silence.
Soon, a bitter expression appeared on his face.
If what Qingping said is true, then Lin Yuan is truly a genius.
A genius surpassing everyone's imagination.
However, even if he's a genius, what difference does it make? Practicing both the Yin and Yang Infinite Paths, the limit is the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and it's impossible to reach the heights of the past Celestial Masters.
Because the power of Yin and Yang within the body bursts at the moment of becoming a Celestial Master.
"So young, yet possessing such an understanding of the essence of power. In our Tian Shi Sect..."
The chubby real person paused halfway through his words.
At this moment, a deeply pained thought surged in his heart.
Such a genius.
Why choose to deviate from the right path?
