For a cultivator, cultivating multiple powers at once signified a split of one's focus. One needed to absorb multiple different energies and comprehend the battle techniques of different elements. Much more time would be required in comparison to those cultivating only a single power.

On top of that, someone cultivating several powers would have a much harder time to release his full strength. For example, when Xiang Shaoyun battled using the power of gold, he could only use the power from his gold star while his other stars would remain dormant.

Of course, he could always activate his stars one after another, but he wouldn't be unleas.h.i.+ng his full strength doing so. And if he only cultivated the power of gold, with all nine of his stars being gold stars, he would be able to use all nine stars at the same time. At that time, he would be able to easily battle those even nine stages above him.

That was why a nine-star physique was considered such a powerful physique. People like this had appeared before, and their achievements were clearly recorded in history books. As for those cultivating nine powers like Xiang Shaoyun, not a single case of success had been recorded before.

In other words, n.o.body believed that cultivating nine powers at the same time was a smart choice. In fact, they were of the opinion that this was simply messing around and was something that needed to stop. The stars of nine colors attracted by Xiang Shaoyun had allowed these grand guardians to know that he cultivated nine different powers.

Generally speaking, n.o.body would spend too much time worrying over someone who had already gotten started on his path of cultivation like this. But Xiang Shaoyun possessed an extremely rare physique, and he was still very young. He wasn't even 20 years old, and he would still have a bright future even if he reset his cultivation to zero and restarted from scratch.

That was the reason for the Dragon Phoenix Academy's princ.i.p.al to ask him that question. Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun's rejection caused the princ.i.p.al face to turn somewhat unsightly. All the grand guardians were also angered by Xiang Shaoyun's ignorance.

”Xiang Shaoyun, do you know the consequences of cultivating nine powers?” questioned the princ.i.p.al.

”Yes, but I insist on maintaining my path of cultivation,” said Xiang Shaoyun firmly.

He had long heard about the consequences from Devouring Ghost. However, he was unwilling to give up. When making the decision to cultivate nine powers, he had once thought of the numerous consequences that might arise. He had the confidence to defeat all the obstacles, creating the strongest battling physique in existence.

Of course, back then, part of the reason for his courage was his lack of knowledge. But even now, he still stuck firmly to his choice. That was because the nine-colored fog that had appeared in his astral cosmos sea had given him confidence and inspiration. The fog was why he thought his choice was correct. Just because others had never succeeded did not mean he wouldn't.

”b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Do you think this is child's play? This will decide your entire life! Only by cultivating a single power to the extremes with all nine stars will you achieve greatness,” berated the purple-haired old man.

”That's right! Child, stop being so naive! So long as you focus on the power of gold and remove all other powers, although your foundations and cultivation base will be damaged as a result, I can still help you fully recover within one year. In the future, you will have a bright future! You can't let your emotions affect your decisions!” persuaded the old man in a gold outfit.

”That's right, kid. Don't waste your talent. If you continue like this, it will be too late to change in the future,” advised the heroic middle-aged man.

It was obvious they wanted badly for Xiang Shaoyun to cultivate only one power and become their successor. Unfortunately, Xiang Shaoyun made a decision that disappointed all of them.

”Princ.i.p.al, grand guardians, thank you for the favor you're showing me. But I am no longer a child. I know what I want,” said Xiang Shaoyun stubbornly.
