275 Unsinkable Fortress (2/2)

Big Sister was a straightforward person—when she decided to do something, there would not be too many considerations. Within the sword tomb, she and Wang Lu had several times exchanged moves, but the victory and defeat couldn’t be clearly decided yet. As soon as her purple mansion was healed, she immediately wanted to settle the outcome. Unfortunately, Wang Lu was still busy with the committee work and had no time to deal with this. At this time, seeing that Wang Lu had a leisure time, Zhu Shiyao could no longer restrain herself.

For this challenge, Wang Lu readily accepted it. Although the Stellar Divine Eyes of Big Sister was indeed formidable, his Broken Sword World was not a small matter either. As the biggest winner in that ancient sword tomb, he already has enough confidence.

However, when the fight finally happened, the result was somewhat unexpected. Wang Lu did win, but it was because of the mistake of his opponent. During the crucial point in the match, Zhu Shiyao’s sword appeared slightly shaken, which Wang Lu immediately grasped as his opportunity to win the fight. Later on, when asked, it was actually because of the rapid progress of the cultivation base of her primordial spirit which made it unstable. She was so eager for the fight that she didn’t care that her condition was still not that good. The only thing she did was to ask her Master to seal her primordial spirit so that she could only display sixty to seventy percent of her ability. However, during the fierce fight, her fighting intent surged up, and she accidentally broke her Master’s seal. Immediately, her primordial spirit shook, which revealed her flaw, leading to a regrettable lost.

Thus, the prestige of this victory has to take a hit. Since the primordial spirit of the opponent could only display sixty to seventy percent efficacy, it was like having an unfair advantage. However, the blame was squarely on Zhu Shiyao’s side… In short, Wang Lu knew that his progress was indeed not small, but if he slacked even a little bit, the others would catch up and even surpass him. Zhu Shiyao and Liu Li, their strength continued to progress by leaps and bounds, the future was bright for them.

However, for him, it was as if he was standing at the crossroads, the future was still hazy.

The biggest harvest in the exploration of ancient sword tomb was the group of immortal tombs. However, as an individual, his harvest was mainly the Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword inherited from the Sword Demon. Whether teaching him this method because Sword Demon wanted to possess him or something else, the method itself was not a problem. Moreover, rarer still… when leaving the sword tomb, it did not lose its efficacy because of the change in the surrounding spiritual energy.

This was a divine sword art that could pass through the ages, and its high value was without a doubt. It was not too much to call it a true immortal level sword art. However, on the other hand, directly before his eyes, he saw his Master demonstrating the awe-inspiring power of Non-Phase Method; the four in nine divine tribulations that rendered the elders of the four super sects helpless was easily passed through by her. Even Sword Demon himself was full of praise of Non-Phase Method, and Sword Demon only said that it was not suitable for him.

But now it seemed like, if he succeeded in practicing Non-Phase Method, he eventually could even shoulder the four in nine divine tribulations with ease.

”Therefore, you have come to seek my advice?”

On top of Non-Phase Peak, Wang Wu has been rendered speechless by his disciple’s inquisitiveness.

”You have the nerve to ask me this matter? I have wholeheartedly spent great effort in teaching you immortal cultivation for more than ten years, yet in an instant you become fickle, falling head over heels at that something something heaven splitting sword, now you shamelessly seek my opinion!?”

Wang Lu was silent for a while. ”This shows that I still have feelings for you.”

”Pei! Feeling your ass! It’s obvious that you’re having an affair!”

Wang Lu thought for a moment and decided to cut to the chase. ”Recently, Wisdom Sect’s financial situation is quite strained, and because they’ve already taken a lot of debt from Mysterious Sky Mansion, the money in circulation is basically nonexistent.”

His master’s fierce stance immediately softened. ”Oh, then never mind. If you want to learn Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword, then by all means. After all, I created the Non-Phase Method in an extreme condition, so the limitation is big. You are extraordinarily talented, so it’s good that you have your own ideas.”

Wang Lu said, ”Master, don’t you have a little bit interest in understanding it? After all, this is an immortal level cultivation method.”

”Tsk, so what if it’s immortal level method? Are they that rare? In Spirit Sword Sect, we already have our own immortal level method, like Stellar Sword Method and Brilliant Sword Heart. Moreover, when a cultivator reaches a certain level, there’s no need to covet other people’s cultivation method. No matter if it’s immortal level or what, the one that is the most suitable is always the best. But since you haven’t reached Jindan yet, not to mention forming your own way, there’s no harm in extensive dabbling. However, I suggest you not to hurry to reach Jindan.”

Wang Lu nodded. ”I also thought so.”

Inside the sword tomb, Wang Lu has absorbed parts of the sea of misery left behind by Sword Demon. Because of this, Wang Lu could definitely advance his progress to reach Jindan in just three to five years. However, the achievement of Jindan was not trivial. For most of the cultivators in Nine Regions, even at the end of their life, it was still an unreachable dream. For those who were gifted, it was also a point where they have to make a decision that would seal their fate. Reaching Jindan Stage meant the initial link with the world’s main path would be established, forming one’s own path. Later on, even reaching Yuanying, Deity, and so on, the cultivator could not separate itself from the path established at Jindan Stage.

Wang Wu’s double golden cores seemed shocking, but it was like a loyal minister that could never be loyal to two masters at the same time; after all, a cultivator could not walk simultaneously on two paths. It inevitably has an enormous side effect, such as her inability to reach Yuanying stage.

Wang Wu didn’t intend for her disciple to repeat her mistake, therefore, forming a link with the main path at Jindan Stage must not fail.

”Combining Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword and Non-Phase Method to form a unique set of immortal cultivation method is indeed a really good idea. But whether it’s the right way or not, it’s still to be determined later. Although your Senior Sister didn’t experience as much as you, the benefit that she obtained is no less than you. She can also practice Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword, moreover, with her Sword Spirit Root, it would be easier for her to digest it. Her primordial spirit continued to advance by leaps and bounds that it will soon condense out an entity. Since this and her strength goes hand in hand, it means… in addition to your years of toiling on the mountain, you better take time for experiential learning. Hmm, right now, aren’t you guys looking for the key? This is a rare experiential learning since it’s basically a publicly funded experiential learning.”

Wang Wu said and lightly sipped her tea.

”Don’t worry, we’ll eventually find it.”
