Zhou Aotian, the sect master of the Transcendence Sect, arrived at his courtyard with his newly accepted disciple, Wushu Shengli.
To call it a courtyard was an understatement. It was literally a palace. And because of the spiritual Qi gathering array that was installed in the palace, the spiritual Qi in the sect master’s palace was ten times denser than the outside world.
With Wushu Shengli’s current cultivation base that was at Qi Refining 9th Stage, he could easily break through and attain Core Formation Realm after entering the spiritual Qi gathering array.
But Shengli didn’t do that as he want his foundation to be as stable as possible, or even further beyond that. Nevertheless, his body still greedily absorbed the surrounding spiritual Qi as it entered his Qi Sea, further improving the quality of his spiritual Qi.
Of course, all of that was caught by Zhou Aotian as he noticed that his disciple was absorbing a lot of spiritual Qi yet not progressing in cultivation base. If not for the fact that Zhou Aotian noticed that his disciple was suppressing his cultivation base, he would have mistaken it as his disciple having an unusual physique that made cultivation breakthroughs a lot more difficult.
There was a legend in the cultivation world where someone was stuck at Qi Refining Realm for two thousand years.
Zhou Aotian prayed that his disciple wasn’t similar to that cultivator in the above-mentioned legend. Otherwise, his disciple’s cultivation talent would become useless if he was stuck in Qi Refining Realm.
Not only that, Zhou Aotian noticed that the spiritual Qi in his disciple’s body was becoming purer and its quality was even above a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Of course, in terms of quantity, Shengli’s spiritual Qi couldn’t surpass a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
Even Zhou Aotian had yet to experience such an unusual occurrence in his experience when he was as young as Wushu Shengli. He could only reason it to Shengli’s above Heavenly Nine Stars cultivation talent.
After Zhou Aotian and Wushu Shengli arrived at the sect master’s courtyard, they went off the flying sword as Zhou Aotian returned the flying sword to his storage ring.
The sect master’s courtyard was located at a mountain peak with several smaller mountain peaks surrounding it. A large palace was erected on the tallest mountain peak while miniature palaces were also located on the smaller mountain peaks.
There were a total of 1 tall mountain peak and 6 small mountain peaks. The taller one was for the sect master’s residence while the rest of the mountain peaks was for the disciple of the sect master’s residence.
Zhou Aotian and Wushu Shengli were currently in the sect master courtyard as they stood atop the mountain peak while Wushu Shengli was glancing at the smaller mountain peaks with interest.
“I currently have three Lead Disciples excluding you. So aside from those three mountain peaks, you can choose any of the remaining three as your palace.”
Zhou Aotian pointed at the three mountain peaks that were occupied by Shengli’s senior brothers and sister. So including Wushu Shengli, Zhou Aotian currently has four Lead Disciples.
“Thank you, master! I will diligently cultivate and repay you in the future!”
Noticing his master’s generosity, Wushu Shengli wasn’t stingy with his praises. He wasn’t that prideful when it came to thanking those who gave him benefits.
“Now that I remember, you haven’t learned any cultivation techniques aside from what those outer disciples used, right?”
“Yes, master. I only learned the basics of the sect’s main cultivation techniques.”
As a former outer disciple, it was given that Wushu Shengli didn’t have any powerful cultivation techniques in his arsenal.
If he was given enough time, Shengli would have received some cultivation techniques from his Cultivation Sign-In System. But it just so happened that today was the first day that he had received his system, so he was helpless when it came to his lack of cultivation techniques.
“What path do you want to take, my disciple?”
With the demeanor of a cultivation master, Zhou Aotian placed both of his hands on his back while his face slightly tilted upwards.
“I want to take the Sword Path and Martial Path, master!”
Wushu Shengli immediately answered his master’s question with hope in his heart. He was well aware that his master would bestow him with powerful cultivation techniques regarding the cultivation path that he would take.
“Two cultivation paths? Although it’s not uncommon for cultivators to take more than one cultivation path, it would take twice the effort and time to achieve the same result of a one-path cultivator.”
“Of course, cultivators who cultivate more than one path have an advantage against cultivators who cultivate only one path. To possess the power to be invincible in the same realm, cultivating more than two paths is a must.”
“Nevertheless, are you certain that you will be diligent and hardworking enough to invest twice the effort in your cultivation?”
Shengli listened to his master’s concern and he couldn’t help but feel touched by his master’s genuine emotions.
He swore that he would become powerful and make his master proud! He would repay this gratitude in the future!
“Yes, master!”
Answering his master’s question, Shengli cupped his fist and slightly lowered his body towards his master, performing a bow.
“Rise, my disciple. Aside from public occasions, you don’t have to bow to me.”
After hearing his master’s words, Shengli straightened his posture and nodded at his master.
With a smile on his face, Zhou Aotian took out two books from his storage ring. One red cultivation book and one green cultivation book.
After taking out two cultivation techniques from his storage, Zhou Aotian gave them to his disciple, Wushu Shengli.
Thanking his master, Wushu Shengli unceremoniously received the two cultivation techniques from his master.
“The red cultivation book contains the Heavenly Transcendence Arts. It is a martial art that emphasizes the theme of transcending the limits of martial arts. This martial art doesn’t have an upper limit in terms of cultivation technique rank as it solely relied on your cultivation talent as well as body cultivation.”
“As for the green cultivation book, it contains the Divine Melodic Sword Art. It is a sword art that emphasizes the use of countless sword moves to create a melody that will confuse your opponent to the point that they wouldn’t know you have slashed them. With your handsome temperament, this sword technique suits you the best.”
After Shengli received the two cultivation techniques, Zhou Aotian briefly explained the contents of the two cultivation techniques.
‘To think that master is this kind! I won’t let my master down!’
After swearing once again in his heart that he would repay his master in the future, Wushu Shengli opened the two cultivation techniques.
Gripping the wooden sword in his right hand, Wushu Shengli’s appearance slowly became illusory as countless afterimages of his sword as well as himself appeared in the cultivation room.With every swing of his wooden sword, a faint melodic vibration was produced. Ten sword slashes were performed in a second, thereby creating a melody pertaining to that of an ethereal sword.If any of the outer disciples saw Shengli’s sword dance, they would have fallen into an illusion that would be no different from animals on a chopping board.The more he practiced the Divine Melodic Sword Art, the more he was surprised by its power. Wushu Shengli believed that the weakness of his Divine Melodic Sword Art was difficult to counter, which made it invincible amongst sword cultivators in the same realm!The weakness of the Divine Melodic Sword Art was the illusions and melody it produced. As long as a cultivator turned off their sense of sight as well as their sense of hearing, Wushu Shengli’s Divine Me
A young man with long purple-colored hair was currently sitting in a lotus position. While he was sitting on the floor, the surrounding spiritual Qi inside the cultivation room was converging toward him.The gathered spiritual Qi was absorbed into the Qi Sea of the young man. After several minutes worth of meditation, a gust of spiritual Qi was released from his body, indicating a successful breakthrough!The fluctuation of spiritual Qi inside the young man’s meridians was gradually becoming stable. Currently, the young man’s foundation was now stable after his successful cultivation breakthrough.The young man, Wushu Shengli, donned a smirk on his face. He was elated with the results of his cultivation breakthrough.“It took me a few hours to attain Golden Core 9th Stage! If master knew about it, he might cough out blood.”Wushu Shengli snickered at the thought of his master being shocked by his monstrous talent.Not only his master, but even those powerful cultivators would also dou
-Knock -Knock -KnockArriving at the door of his master’s room, Wushu Shengli knocked thrice and waited for his master’s response.“Come in, the door is open.”A soft creaking sound was produced when Shengli opened the door.After receiving his master’s permission to enter his room, Shengli immediately cupped his fist but didn’t bow to his master when he entered the room.His master had told him before to only bow when it was in a public setting. But for private meetings such as this, Shengli didn’t need to bow to his master.“Disciple greets master.”Shengli politely greeted his master, and as usual, he waited for his master’s response.He saw his master sitting on a futon while drinking tea from a jade-colored tea cup. Spiritual Qi was emanating from the tea, so from Shengli’s guess, it wasn’t an ordinary tea but a spiritual tea.‘As expected of master, he has good taste. That tea must be brewed by a cultivator who pursues the Tea Ceremony Path or even the Brewing Path.’‘If master
A dark shade of black covered the sky while specks of shimmering light adorned it. A huge circular plate shone brightly above the sky in contrast to the dark sky.The cold breeze traveled across the plains as it blew the sword-like grasses and jade-like leaves. The leaves danced as they fell on the ground as it was accompanied by the howling of birds that could be heard while slight silence permeated the atmosphere.It was already nighttime.Wushu Shengli was admiring the starry sky and the night scenery above the terrace of his Cultivation Palace. He had already agreed to live in his cultivation palace and since it was situated above a mountain, the cold breeze caressed his milky white skin.His purple hair fluttered across the air while his jade-green eyes glanced at the landscape outside his cultivation palace.“To think I have transmigrated into a cultivation world. It doesn’t seem that bad.”Shengli admired the scenery while reminiscing about his past life. It felt too sudden for
-Yawn~ A soft and soothing yawn came out from Wushu Shengli’s mouth. After rubbing his slightly sleepy eyes, he got up from his bed and immediately took a bath. After taking a bath, Wushu Shengli wore his lead disciple cultivation robe and went outside to experience the warm breeze. Since his cultivation palace was built on top of a mountain, he could observe the Transcendence Sect’s yards from afar. Whether it was the outer yard or the inner yard, it was visible within Shengli’s Qi Sense. -Ding! [Sign-in Complete! Host receives God-grade Unparalleled Appearance!] “This…” After entering the terrace of his cultivation palace, Shengli didn’t forget to use his daily sign-in. But, even he was speechless by the reward that he had received. ‘Is my luck that great or bad?’ ‘I didn’t expect that I can get a God-grade sign-in reward but why is it regarding my appearance and not an artifact or cultivation physique?’ To be honest, Shengli was already confident that his appearance was h
Taking out the 7th Grade Sword that his master had given him, Wushu Shengli used it to travel the sky.Only cultivators at Core Formation Realm could use the sword-flying technique. Although, there were instances where Qi Refining Realm cultivators could use their spiritual Qi to use the sword flying technique.As for those that could fly, only cultivators at the Virtuoso Realm could use their spiritual Qi fly without the use of a sword or any artifact.After arriving above the inner courtyard, Wushu Shengli descended to the inner elder’s yard. Elder Sword was the main elder in the inner courtyard so after seeing Shengli, he gave Shengli the permit to enter the inner courtyard.Usually, it wasn’t that needed to see an elder to receive their permit for entering another yard. But the Transcendence Sect was currently on the move on eradicating spies from other sects and forces so it was implemented before.After receiving Elder Sword’s permit, Shengli strolled around the inner courtyard
When Wushu Shengli arrived several meters away from the crowd and used his Qi sense to oversee the commotion that occurred, he was infuriated at what he had seen.There, he had seen his brother Luo Tian being bullied by a bunch of weaklings. From his predecessor’s memories, he knew that Luo Tian was a trustworthy brother. Their relationship was no different from being sworn brothers.And even if Shengli’s personality wasn’t affected by his predecessor or the former Shengli’s memories, it still gave him the impression that Luo Tian was worthy of his trust.Otherwise, why would he visit the inner sect courtyard to grant Luo Tian the Nine Heavenly Stars talent?Shengli knew that in a cruel world like the cultivation world where even blood-related siblings would betray and kill each other for the sake of power, having a trustworthy ally was a luxury.Even ungrateful disciples would betray their master for the sake of their master’s secret manuals. So having Luo Tian as his sworn brother m
After giving Da Zei and the onlookers a warning, Wushu Shengli no longer cared about them as his attention shifted towards Luo Tian.Wushu Shengli walked toward Luo Tian and after arriving in front of him, he extended his hand to Luo Tian.“Brother Tian, I have already dealt with them.”Gripping Shengli’s hand and using it as a support, Luo Tian lifted himself from the ground with difficulty Da Zei’s previous beating injured Luo Tian’s body but not too seriously. Otherwise, Da Zei wouldn’t be crippled of his cultivation base but already six feet under.Luo Tian stood with wobbly legs but thanks to Shengli supporting him, he didn’t lose balance. Not only was Luo Tian injured, but even his clothes were dirtied and no longer looked presentable.“Thank you, brother Shengli.”After receiving Luo Tian’s thanks, Shengli only nodded in response as he was busy taking out something from his storage ring.Taking out a pill bottle from his storage ring, he gave it to Luo Tian.“No need to thank
