Chapter 372: Nine Seals (1/2)

The people from the Wang Xiaoyun group were stunned. Why would he seem so ecstatic when his cultivation base was dropping? Was there something they had not understood?

His cultivation base did not just drop to the Ordinary Saint layer; it kept dwindling until he was once more a Heavenly Knight.

When he finally opened his eyes again, nine seals were placed on his chest, suppressing his cultivation. To be able to advance in the future would be many times more complicated than it had been up until now, but the results would also be much more shocking.

No one at his level would be able to beat him; even level jumping battles were not hard to him.

Xue Wei smiled satisfied as he felt the Qi dragons and Qi feathers within his veins had gained a significant undulation of strength. Although they were now supposed to be weaker, he felt stronger than before. Not as feeble.

”What happened to you?” Wang Xiaoyun had also seen the transformation he had undergone, and she was curious as to why he would be so pleased with his decrease in strength.

”I had rushed to the Earth Saint rank,” he said honestly. ”When I joined the Ascended's Realm, I was nothing more than a Heavenly Knight. Within the short while we have been here, I was promoted to an Earth Saint.

”While the strength is very welcome, the problem is that my foundation had become unstable. Now I have sealed my foundation, and while my cultivation base has regressed, my strength has soared.

”Now I have the sturdiest of foundations, all the impurities of the pills I have consumed throughout the years have also been dispelled. I am feeling much more powerful than ever before.”

Hearing his explanation, everyone felt relieved. They had already seen his strength in battle, so for him to say that he was now stronger than before made them feel safe.

Bai Tianyi also nodded his head in approval. It was definitely what he had wanted to see. Although it was great to advance fast, it was nothing if your foundation was unstable.

There were different risks with an unstable foundation. First of all, one's attacks would be a lot less effective compared to others at the same rank. Secondly, it might collapse at any moment, and if this happened, one would either be unable to advance in the future; some might even become a cripple.

Bai Tianyi had admitted that Xue Wei was his master, and as the master of him, the most amazing sword spirit in the entire world, he was not willing to see his master succumb to an unstable foundation.

He was also proud when he saw that Xue Wei had not just used one or two seals, but had engraved the full nine seals that he could carve.
