Chapter 50: The Third Charat Day [2] (2/2)

Ju Feng stammered when he saw the expression of his master.

”Its alright, Ju Feng. The important thing is for you to be strong in all aspects, if it takes time, so be it. Be sure to have all what it takes to prevent burns and heat before walking into an inferno. All the aspects must be strong for you to truly walk without watching your back or slipping. If not, you'll simply die. It's the simple truth.”

Master Zhou Lin stared at Ju Feng keenly before suddenly smiling.

”Ju Feng, just yesterday you joined the inner sect and you underwent your Zhuji tribulations same day. I have to tell you, I'm really proud of you. I do hope it's a beginning of good things for you, all you have to do is continue working harder and get stronger. We will try our best to make sure you have the best support you need.”

Master Zhou Lin walked to the side of the clearing, with his furrowed eyes seemingly set on the future.

”Lightning is a powerful cosmic element, Ju Feng. Like lightening, all elements are universal affinities and they were not things to be wielded by a mortal or immortal body. They could only be manifested in traces or sparks through a physical body. A true nascent soul could manifest these element to a certain degree. But for the elements to be fully manifested, it must be channelled through something connected to the soul of a cultivator and also to the elements in the universe. A medium between the two.”

He paused for a moment which seemed forever.

”A weapon! A weapon is connected to the soul of a cultivator and when it's made with materials of the same element affinity as the cultivator? A weld. The only thing that can provide a full manifestation of elements. That's why cultivators pay more attention to their weapons. The make of a weapon, the composition of a weapon can easily determine the outcome of a battle.”

He turned his head to the side and looked at Ju Feng.

”I tell you the truth, Ju Feng. To a cultivator, weapon means everything. A divine weapon will not look at your body technique before cutting you into pieces unless you have a divine body which might withstand it. A fire element divine weapon in the hand of a Ningchi cultivator will cut you into two talk-less of incinerating you into nothingness despite you having higher level. Do you know why?”

Master Zhou Lin slowly walked back to where Ju Feng was still standing and sighed softly.

”Because of the weapon's divinity. Even if the Ningchi cultivator don't have the level to use its fire element against you, it will still cut you into many pieces if you meet it head-on.”

He flicked his hand and manifested his weapon. A glaive.

”This is Mujithar. I spent hundreds of thousands of years gathering the materials. It's about not being in a rush as you make decisions on your weapon. Your weapon is part of your soul, part of your existence. Take your time. In the mean time, you can check the market, there are minor weapons you can get to be using. It makes you familiar with all these.”

The weapon disappeared and master Zhou Lin turned towards the mountains.

”You can go now, I will see you later.”

”Yes, master. Master please can I ask for something?”

”Mhm. Go ahead.”

”Master, I want to be in seclusion to meditate a bit since I just advanced to Zhuji.”

”Hm. Thoughtful of you. Yes, you can. You have the time needed. See you later then.”

”Thank you master, thank you.”

He told Yan and the other disciples quietly before heading towards his hillock. He would wait for a moment before making his way to the door without suspicion.

Time to see his home world.
