Chapter 96 - Dispelling Doubts (2/2)

The long-haired man answered each disciple’s questions about their cultivation. Be it about Godfiend body cultivation, weapon techniques, mental willpower, and even the troubles one encountered when challenging the Nine Mystical Caves; he could answer them all.

Halfway through, King Calm Sea’s fifth son—Xue Feng—stood up and asked, “Master, I still can’t pass the Nine Mystical Caves, and I feel like I’m still far from success. Master, please give me a clear answer. When will I be able to pass the Nine Mystical Caves?” He had been on the mountain for ten years, but he was unable to leave the mountain. He was somewhat anxious. He also wanted to fight demon monarchs with his fellow disciples.

He was very powerful, much stronger than many of the Godfiends that had descended the mountain. However, he could not pass the Nine Mystical Caves!

“If your strength increases like it was in the past, you can leave the mountain in three years,” said the long-haired man. “If you have a major breakthrough, it’s possible to leave the mountain within half a year.”

“I understand,” replied Xue Feng as he sat down cross-legged.

In recent decades, he was Archean Mountain’s most dazzling disciple. As King Calm Sea’s most outstanding son, his strength was extraordinary. The family had groomed him with all their might. The number of natural treasures he had consumed far exceeded his siblings. His Godfiend foundation was five times more robust than an ordinary genius’s. He had become a transcendent-grade Godfiend at age 15, and he had also mastered an ultimate move from the Black Metal Sutra. He had achieved the Sword Soul at 22 years of age.

It made the other disciples look up to him. Jiang State’s Xiao Yunyue could barely compete with him.

Archean Mountain’s requirements to allow him to descend the mountain were extremely stringent. The Nine Mystical Caves test was also extremely difficult. They didn’t allow him to leave the mountain easily. If he did not have the ability to protect himself, he would probably be assassinated by the demons once he left the mountain.

…

The question-and-answer session lasted for nearly six hours.

The Supremacy’s lecturing happened three times a month at the Grotto-Heaven Pavilion. It happened on the 5th, 15th, and 25th of every month.

Therefore, disciples didn’t have many troubles over a span of ten days. It just took a long time because nearly 70% of 200 plus disciples asked questions.

“Since nobody has any more questions,” the long-haired man smiled as his gaze swept across the new disciples and said, “I’ll talk about what the new disciples are most concerned about since they are here today. Many of you chose transcendent-grade Godfiend formulas. Give them a try first! If you see any hope in three years, you can persevere! If there’s a slim chance after three years, give up cultivating the Godfiend Body early.

“For the first three years, one cannot cultivate a Godfiend body for more than four hours a day. One should spend more time on weapon techniques and saber techniques. If one is sufficiently skilled with their weapon, they can still fight an enemy one realm higher. One must not stop cultivating their weapon techniques for a single day.

“As for the weapon techniques, how should one choose?

“The best ultimate techniques of our human race come from the Black Metal Sutras. There are sixty-two Black Metal Sutras on Archean Mountain,” said the long-haired man. “However, one needs to become a Great Solar Godfiend and condense an Essence Soul before they can accept the Black Metal Sutra legacies.

“Before this, there’s no way to receive an intent legacy. All one can do is read the text, diagrams, and other descriptions. The Black Metal Sutra legacies are ten times more difficult to cultivate without intent guidance.

“The ultimate techniques within the Black Metal Sutras are divided into three types—Heaven, Earth, and Man. The latter can be read for reference, but the former two are very profound. You’ll study them your entire lives. As there is an intent legacy, cultivating Heaven-level Godfiend arts will be much easier than the Black Metal Sutras. If one cultivates a Heaven-level Godfiend art to perfection, its strength will match a Black Metal Sutra ultimate technique.

“Amongst Heaven-level Godfiend ultimate techniques…”

…

The Supremacy explained everything one needed to know with great detail. It was much clearer than what Meng Chuan and the others had learned after reading the books in the library cave.

Many people gained a clearer understanding of Godfiend cultivation.

“Let’s end the lecture today. You are dismissed.” The long-haired man stood up and left.

“Safe travels, Master.” said the disciples respectfully.

Many disciples began to head out in groups.

“Meng Chuan, come to the Grotto-Heaven Pavilion in two hours.” A voice sounded in Meng Chuan’s ears.
