Xue Ying returned to his cavern-dwelling after submitting in his name register to Heart Imitation Palace Master. Just as he sat down and took out a flask of precious wine, before even pouring it, the protector entered and said: “Elder, Inquisitive Sky Hall Master is here to visit you.”
“Inquisitive Sky Hall Master?” Xue Ying was surprised. He immediately stood up. After taking a few steps, he arrived at the main entrance of the cavern-dwelling.
“Inquisitive Sky Hall Master can just send down someone to tell me if you are planning to look for me. I’ll definitely rush over.” Just as Xue Ying wanted to say a few more words, he noticed that there was currently no sliver of a smile on the black-skinned face of Inquisitive Sky Hall Master. He was calmly and coldly looking at Xue Ying. He headed directly: “Let us talk more inside.”
Xue Ying was slightly stunned. It seemed that Inquisitive Sky Hall Master was acting weirdly today.
Following Inquisitive Sky Hall Master in, Xue Ying was still enthusiastically saying: “Even though the mission of selecting the talented cultivators for the Star Convention seem easy, I did not dare rest on my laurels. After all, it is publicized, and the matter has to be done beautifully. Now that the name register is fixed, I feel more relaxed now. I was just about to drink a wine brewed using the ‘Barley Maple Leaf’ from the era of primitive Ancient Sacred World when hall master came. Does hall master want to accompany me to drink a few cups?”
“Now that the matter has been executed beautifully, you are relaxed?” Inquisitive Sky Hall Master stopped and turned around to look at Xue Ying.
Xue Ying was stunned.
“You feel that this is done really beautifully?” Inquisitive Sky Hall Master asked again.
“Because the previous four teachers of the convention handed in their name register first, I can’t select the cultivators they have chosen. That is why I had to adjust the selected names a few times, though the cultivators I have chosen are not bad.” Xue Ying answered.
“Not bad?”
Inquisitive Sky Hall Master nodded, “Then how do you see Xing Hou Xun Yi?”
“He is excellent, the best cultivator I have chosen in my name register.” Xue Ying looked at the expression on Inquisitive Sky Hall Master and was enlightened at that moment. He chuckled, “Haha, hall master is furious because I selected that Xing Huo Xun Yi? Are you worried that I do not care about my reputation and wants to curry favor from Monarch Xing Huo? How am I such a person? Hall master should feel rest assured. You aren’t a teacher of the convention so you would not know how frightening the improvement was with Xing Huo Xun Yi during this 1,000 years of time.”
“Frightening?” Inquisitive Sky Hall Master was startled. He could see how Xue Ying had a card up his sleeves. The initial fury soon turned into suspicion, “How much improvement can he make? He has been cultivating under such stellar condition for the past 500 billion years–he has all kinds of precious materials and guidance from experts. Now in this 1,000 years, how much improvement can he make?”
It was not just Inquisitive Sky Hall Master thinking about this. Many other Primal Chaos giants were also pondering over this after looking at the list.
Cultivation required one to slowly accumulate. Even if Xue Ying were outstanding, once he reached the fifth level Star Pagoda strength, he had to train slowly and cultivate for a long time before eventually stepping into the sixth level once his heart realm reached the ‘My Heart as the World’ realm!
These talented cultivators had cultivated for a few tens of billions of years at the minimum, and the longest had even cultivated for more than a trillion years.
Over such a long period… 1,000 years was not worth mentioning!
Like Xing Huo Xun Yi and others with a huge background, they had resources and guidance. So this 1,000 years would not allow them to improve a lot.
Only those loose cultivator who had to grope blindly during cultivation with difficulties would be able to drastically improve after obtaining guidance from existences like General Hatchet Palace Master. Xue Ying was also the strongest Unity realm expert in the two great sacred worlds, so his advice was similarly precious!
Usually, only loose cultivators would have a drastic improvement during this 1,000 years.
General Hatchet Palace Master, Violet Slaughter Island Master, General Heaven Light, Five Luster Serpent Ancestor, and the others did not think that Xing Huo Xun Yi would have a huge improvement. Ultimately, one had to build a strong foundation before he could improve further. Unless Xing Huo Xun Yi had encountered many difficulties in the past with his cultivation? Did he not have the guidance of peak experts? No! The father of Xing Huo Xun Yi was a ninth level Star Pagoda existence. Relying on the relationship with his father, he could easily invite other Primal Chaos giants for help, so his cultivation conditions would be much better than even seeking the help of the five teachers of the convention.
“His improvement is extremely huge.” Xue Ying chuckled, “The other four teachers of the convention should know it right?”
“General Heaven Light has sent a message to me. It might sound good on the surface, but he is ridiculing me.” Inquisitive Sky Hall Master shook his head, “If that Xing Huo Xun Yi really has a huge improvement, he should not have gone to find General Heaven Light for help.”
Xue Ying was stunned momentarily.
“Wait a moment.”
Xue Ying immediately transmitted a message over to Monarch Xing Huo. As Monarch Xing Huo intended to befriend him, the two had naturally exchanged their communication imprints.
“Monarch, Xing Huo Xun Yi has never sought the help of other teachers of the convention?” Xue Ying transmitted and asked.
“Haha, Elder Dong Bo, I saw the name register you submitted. The other four teachers of the convention have never selected my son, with only you choosing him. I had even asked this son of mine, and he said that since the other four teachers do not understand the Dao of Mirage, there is no need to waste his time.” Monarch Xing Huo transmitted back. Indeed, Xing Huo Xun Yi was unlike the other loose cultivators. His horizons were set really high, and he did not find seeking the guidance of other four teachers of the convention as an excellent opportunity for him. He was even too lazy to do so.
During the past 1,000 years, Xing Huo Xun Yi concentrated entirely on the Dao of Mirage! And the person with the highest attainment in the Dao of Mirage under the laws and profound mysteries system in the five great sacred worlds was none other than Xue Ying! The moment Xue Ying’s Dao of Mirage reached the Primal Chaos realm, he would be the only one in history who had done so.
No wonder. After all, there were only a total of 20 cultivators who reached the Primal Chaos realm in the laws and profound mysteries system. The Dao of Mirage belonged to the slightly ‘less popular’ Dao in the laws and profound mysteries system, unlike the Dao of Slaughter which was more commonly seen.
“You saved my son and this huge favor… haha, this favor will be etched in my heart.” Monarch Xing Huo transmitted back without going into details.
