"... Junior Brother, you didn't sleep last night?"
"Senior Brother, did you fall asleep?"
"Hehe, who could fall asleep?"
Spirit Sword Mountain, Pink House, Spirit Pool Peak. The disciples of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect couldn't sleep all night. Facing the morning sun, they sighed incessantly.
With the physical strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if they didn't sleep for three days and three nights, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, being entangled all night long was mentally and spiritually tiring.
The defeat at the banquet made the Ten Thousand Arts Sect lose face, but the real entanglement was in the post-match summary meeting.
According to the custom of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, after a match, regardless of victory or defeat, they had to make a summary and analyze the gains and losses. This time, they participated in the competition with great ambition, but they lost miserably. Naturally, they had to carefully analyze the reason behind it.
Under the leadership of Yuan Chaonian and the other two Elders, Zhan Ziye and the others carried out a profound analysis, but the conclusion was very disappointing … The several of them had nothing to say about their loss.
Because the Lingjian School didn't use cheating outside the rules to win. Everything was on the table, there was no under-the-table manipulation. Moreover, this rule, on the whole, was more favorable to the Ten Thousand Arts Sect. Although Wang Lu played a lot of tricks in the competition, but … the Ten Thousand Arts Sect disciples who boasted of their superior intelligence were actually fooled by other people's wisdom, which was really disgraceful. As for the last shocking spurt, it was indeed a bit shameless. Compared to accusing Wang Lu of being shameless, perhaps more people would laugh at the person who spurted it. That was definitely a stain in his life. After the match, Zhao Jiangyuan had the urge to commit suicide!
Actually, the only thing that could be questioned in the competition was the amazing harvest of Wang Lu's eleven consecutive lucky draws. However, after Yuan Chaonian explained it to the disciples, they could only accept it with peace of mind.
"For a brilliant cultivator, luck is not so elusive. Once a cultivator has the luck, they can use a special method to transform that luck into luck in a short period of time. Our sect also has a related method … however, I don't recommend you to study it. First, our Ten Thousand Arts Sect has always had no affinity with providence, and second, the effectiveness of the providence transformation is very poor. Even if you have ten million providence in your body, it's nothing more than a miracle of winning a lottery draw in an unimportant competition. "
Alright, Wang Lu was blessed with providence and knew how to transform providence, so the disciples naturally had nothing to say.
As for Liu Li? Yes, if it weren't for Wang Lu's interference, Zhao Jiangyuan's nutrition points should be higher than hers. But then again, that was the result of Zhao Jiangyuan risking his life. Liu Li, on the other hand, was unhurried from the beginning to the end. Let alone risking her life, it was hard to say whether she had used her true ability or not! Enlightened Sword Heart, Pure Sword Body, this was a real ability!
Thinking of the legend of the twelve Xudan Stage cultivators two years ago, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect felt a trace of haze about the future of this trip. Their Big Brother Zhan Ziye was indeed very powerful. His aptitude was excellent, his perception was amazing, and his understanding of methods was far superior to cultivators of the same level, not something that the barbarians of the Lingjian School could compare with. However, no matter how arrogant the Ten Thousand Arts Sect was, they had to admit that in the Nine Regions, there were many examples of barbarians defeating scholars through brute force — Liu Li defeating Zhao Jiangyuan in the Big Appetite Competition was exactly such a case. Obviously, the latter had a better digestion method, so each of his dishes could give him more nutrition points than Liu Li. However, in the end, he still lost to her terrifying digestive ability. And how could their Big Brother Zhan Ziye lose to Liu Li's unreasonable Enlightened Sword Heart?
"But … I always feel that there's something wrong with that Liu Li's brain." One of the participants, Zhao Jiangyuan, frowned and said. Seeing his fellow disciples looking at him, he hastily added, "I don't mean to belittle her, but I always feel that she's stupid. Do you remember, after Wang Lu unbuttoned her clothes, she didn't respond at all and just continued to eat!"
Zhan Ziye and the others recalled that it was indeed so; they couldn't help but frown.
"No way, if she's really stupid, how could she be regarded as a Successor Disciple by the Lingjian School? Even if it's a barbarian sect, they wouldn't … "
At this time, as the Master, Yuan Chaonian opened his mouth to explain, "Because that's the effect of Enlightened Sword Heart. Liu Li is not stupid, but her way of thinking is different from ordinary people … Well, from an intuitive point of view, she's indeed stupid, but anyone who underestimates Enlightened Sword Heart will usually pay a tragic price — this is not literary rhetoric, but an objective comment based on comprehensive statistical data."
Seeing that the morale of the disciples was somewhat shaken, Yuan Chaonian said, "But, we don't need to be discouraged. Do you guys remember our belief?"
The several disciples looked at each other and then said in unison, "Knowledge is power!"
"Yes, knowledge is power! The cultivators of the Lingjian School are indeed powerful, but we have knowledge and wisdom, which is more powerful than any magical power or cultivation base, enough to ensure that we are invincible. Today, everyone has a rest. Starting tomorrow, we will let the Lingjian School experience the power of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect. "
In the face of the disciples' puzzlement, Yuan Chaonian smiled. "This time, I brought the Gate of All Living Things."
"The Gate of All Living Things!? Master, are you going to … "
"Yes, we have lost two times in a row in the welcoming ceremony and the banquet. If we want to save the situation, we have to come up with something decisive. I know that a lot of people like to criticize our Ten Thousand Arts Sect for having only theory and knowledge, but we can't solve the actual problem. Some people even ridicule us as nerds and waste. Then, we will respond to them with real achievements! "

A day later, the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, led by the Spirit Sword Sect Elders, visited the Small Clear Sky Peak. As the most important experiential learning place of the Lingjian School, the Small Clear Sky Peak attracted the great interest of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect. The layout and design here were indeed ingenious. However, after the visit, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect gave an almost mocking evaluation.
"As a playground, it's indeed not bad."
Elder Liu Xian, who led the way, didn't get angry. Instead, he replied with a smile, "This is indeed just a playground for the disciples. The real experiential learning is in the mortal world."
Hearing this, Yuan Chaonian disagreed. "Experiential learning in the mortal world? This is an old method from thousands of years ago. It has no efficiency and no guarantee. The mortal world is vast and boundless. Putting a disciple in it at will and expecting him to gain something in a short period of time is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. The growth of the disciple must be through something that has a great impact, not through mediocrity in the mortal world. "
Elder Liu Xian also agreed. "Unfortunately, a great event can't happen at any time, it can only be encountered by chance."
Yuan Chaonian said, "That's not necessarily true."
"I wonder what Elder Yuan wants to say?"
Yuan Chaonian smiled. He was waiting for you to say this.
—
A moment later, on the Cloud Wave Boat, the Gate of All Living Things appeared in front of them.
"This is an experiential learning thing for the disciples of my Ten Thousand Arts Sect." Yuan Chaonian stood in front of the magnificent stone gate and explained its effect to Liu Xian, Fang He, and the other Elders of Spirit Sword Sect, as well as several accompanying disciples of Spirit Sword Sect.
"The Gate of All Living Things, behind the gate is the appearance of all living things in the world. Of course, in essence, this is a delicate, complex, and large-scale illusion treasure. It can allow the disciples of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect to be immersed in an illusion that has been set up in advance, allowing them to experience the various appearances of the mortal world, and it's difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. "
In the Lingjian School, the one with the highest level of illusion cultivation was the Ninth Elder Hua Yun. Upon hearing Yuan Chaonian's introduction of the magical effect of the Gate of All Living Things, she couldn't help but be surprised. "Immortal treasure?"
"Yes, immortal treasure." Yuan Chaonian nodded with a slightly proud look. Although the person in charge of the refining of this immortal treasure was his Sect Leader, who had the cultivation base of Unity Stage, as well as a group of Master Tool Refiners, as the main creator, he had the greatest credit! And the Gate of All Living Things was undoubtedly one of his rare masterpieces in his life!
"As long as there is the Gate of All Living Things, it can easily let the disciples experience all kinds of rare and precious events, whether it's a natural disaster or a luxurious life. Compared to the senseless experiential learning, the efficiency is several times or even dozens of times higher. At present, it hasn't been fully popularized in our Ten Thousand Arts Sect, but the prospect can be foreseen. "
Upon hearing this, Hua Yun just slightly nodded. Obviously, her mind was focused on the Gate of All Living Things, not on its derivative meaning. As for the other Elders of Spirit Sword Sect, they didn't seem to be interested in it.
This made Yuan Chaonian slightly uncomfortable. "Good or bad, it's an immortal treasure. Although your Lingjian School certainly has it … it's still an immortal treasure. Moreover, it's different from those immortal swords and immortal seals that can only be used for fighting. This is a treasure used to train disciples, to train talents for the entire Immortal Cultivation World. Its significance is extraordinary, can't you guys give me some reaction? "
Just as he was thinking, his reaction came.
"Isn't this just a toy?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chaonian, a dignified Deity Stage Elder, almost fainted from anger. Especially when the other side was just a high-level Qi Cultivating Stage disciple!
However, when he took a closer look, he found out that the person was Wang Lu, who was in the limelight the other day. Yuan Chaonian instead calmed down. If it was someone else, that would be fine. However, although this Wang Lu was a disciple, his conduct was quite profound and unfathomable, so he absolutely could not be underestimated.
However, the anger in his heart was hard to quell. Yuan Chaonian's tone was quite unkind. "Why don't you tell me why it's a toy?"
The anger of a Deity Stage cultivator was easily ignored by Wang Lu. He smiled and said, "Fake is fake. No matter how real the illusion is, it can't be more real than reality. You can simulate the five senses, but you can't simulate the cause and effect of the world, let alone the world's main path … Therefore, it's just a top-notch game console."
Yuan Chaonian's complexion turned gloomy. He was burning with anger, not because the other side was disrespectful, but because the other side had pointed out the only flaw of the Gate of All Living Things.
In an illusion, it is impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion. The Gate of All Living Things can create everything, but it can't create the cause and effect of the world. The illusion inside the gate is only infinitely close to reality, but it can never truly reach reality. A disciple's experiential learning inside the gate and real experiential learning are indeed different. However, he always insisted that this little difference was far from being able to compare to the several times increase in efficiency.
"Aiya, you don't believe me?" Wang Lu smiled and said, "That's simple, let's give it a try. The difference between a game and reality, as a professional adventurer, I will personally show you. There's no need for an electric shock, just try it! "
Facing Wang Lu's eager smile, Yuan Chaonian, who was originally full of confidence in the Gate of All Living Things, unexpectedly felt his heart tremble. An ominous premonition, like a dark cloud, covered his heart.
