Chapter 23 - Absolute Trust (1/2)

"A few of the Xin Huo inheritors that I once taught were beaten to death by the female gods. If I managed to learn this method, then I would not need to worry about my next inheritors for being beaten to death while making love." shouted the excited Xin Huo.

Hooking up with girls? Judging at Xin Huo's words, could it actually be that Senior Martial Sister Tao and Senior Martial Sister Yu are here for me?

Zhong Yue was stunned, and he walked toward the two pretty young girls.

The two girls were a little bit nervous when they saw him walking toward them. Tao Daier quickly blustered, "Zhong Shan Clan member, we did not come here specifically to look for you and definitely not to sing for you. This is not your property. Anyone could come here freely! We were here first, so it was you who in fact came looking for us first!"

Zhong Yue laughed and replied, "Yes, it was me who came looking for you. Please feel free to do what you want to do."

Yu Feiyan could not hold back anymore, and she asked, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, we came here to consult you about the training state in between life and death. Would you please teach me the method?"

"You want to train in the same way as well?"

Zhong Yue considered it and shook his head, "This training method is very dangerous even for me, and it would be even more dangerous for you. If you jumped off the cliff, there will be a ninety-nine percent probability that you would lose your life, and the odds would remain the same every time you jump!"

His words were not an exaggeration at all. As one leveraged the moment of life and death to trigger this state of extremity, it would never be as simple as merely jumping off a cliff. This was because, in order to enter the state of extremity, one would have to cultivate to improve their prowess. While in cultivation, one would not be able to awaken so quickly and thus would not be able to be conscious of their surroundings at all!

And while falling at high speed, if one were unable to wake up in time, the only end would be that person would only be death!

Even Zhong Yue himself could not wake up in time every time as well. His survival was completely contingent on Xin Huo waking him up every time in his psyche ocean when his soul was asleep while cultivating which therefore minimized the risk significantly!

Although there were always risks when he jumped down, he still managed to survive unharmed time after time again only because of Xin Huo.

But Yu Feiyan would never have the same luxury as there was no one like Xin Huo to help her. If she trained alone in the same manner, she would definitely die as she could not wake up in time. It would still be dangerous even if Tao Daier were floating in mid-air trying to wake her soul up in time as there would only be a small window of time from her stupor—death would, therefore, be the only outcome if she failed to wake Yu Feiyan up in time.

It would be a difficult task to wake someone's soul up that was still cultivating within the psyche ocean. The only feasible method was to wake the person up using the caller's soul. If Tao Daier made a mistake in the process, Yu Feiyan would definitely die!

"If you let Junior Martial Sister Tao help, you could actually reduce the risk by a certain percentage, but the risk is still very high. Senior Martial Sister Yu, I can teach you the method, but it is ultimately up to you if you want to train with this method."

Zhong Yue then told her the ways of training while treading between the boundary of life and death and how to suppress her fear. He then said, "Senior martial sisters, I need to train now, pardon me."

He then carried the rock and then jumped off the cliff.

Tao Daier hesitated and asked, "Senior Martial Sister, are you really going to go through with it?"

Yu Feiyan was also very hesitant, although Zhong Yue told her the method and the ways, he also pointed out the risks. Therefore, she also understood the immense danger inherent in this training method!

Even with the help of Tao-Tao, the chances are that I might still die! Besides, what if Tao-Tao made a mistake….

After a long time of hesitation, Yu Feiyan lamented, "I guess I won't try this training method. This desperate training method is akin to gambling with your life all in order to become a Qi Practitioner. Besides, to me, becoming a Qi Practitioner is just a matter of time, why should I risk my life just to expedite it?"

Tao Daier felt relieved as well and affirmed, "Senior Martial Sister, you are right."

Yu Feiyan then smiled confidently and said proudly, "Even after risking his life in training, Zhong Yue is still not a Qi Practitioner. Other than that, even if I took the more orthodox path to train, I am still the best in the female house."

Zhong Yue waited at the bottom of the cliff for a moment, and he did not see Yu Feiyan jumping off the cliff. He was thinking that if Yu Feiyan jumped down and failed, he could still be able to save her from getting herself killed.

After all, Yu Feiyan was not an ill-hearted girl at all. It could be perceived as her trying her best to save Zhong Yue yesterday.

"Brat Yue, not everyone has the same idiotic bravery as yours, and not all of them have the same luck like yours to have someone like me!"

Xin Huo said proudly, "The girl looked like she is a determined girl, but she is not like you at all. Although she has a congenial relationship with the other girl, she still does not trust her enough to leave her life in her hands. If she jumped off the cliff, the anxiousness she would feel from worrying about whether the other girl would wake her up in time would pose as a fatal distraction while cultivating. This would cause her to stop halfway and save herself before the other girl could do anything. Just on account of that, she would not be able to train in the same method. You, however, have absolute trust in me and can entrust your life to me. You could even jump off a cliff on my word, and because of that, you are able to improve at such a rapid speed as you could easily focus on your cultivation."

Zhong Yue flipped the thought around in his mind a few times and realized that what Xin Huo said was indeed true. He could jump without hesitation when Xin Huo asked him to jump without thinking of the outcome of the possibility that Xin Huo failed to wake him up in time.
