Chapter 306

Chi Caibo and Chi Zhengde were dumbfounded. Along the way, the little Taoist boy named Cang Wu clearly told them about the relationship between the Minor Chiliocosm and the Colossal World. He also explained in detail the recruitment of disciples in three years. These things were really incredible.

This was not the Immortal World? It was the Colossal World, and the place they came from was called the Minor Chiliocosm of Lei Mansion. The siblings couldn't accept it, but they soon understood. Wasn't this just another name for the mortal world and the Immortal World? In the Minor Chiliocosm, the Dharma was incomplete, so it was difficult to advance. Only after being guided to the Colossal World could one achieve higher achievements. Anyway, in the minds of Chi Caibo and Chi Zhengde, the Colossal World was equivalent to the Immortal World.

As for the recruitment of disciples, they were full of confidence. Being chosen by the unfathomable Senior Shi, Chi Caibo and Chi Zhengde didn't think they couldn't pass. Especially in three years, they were likely to advance to the Qi Gatherer Stage and could become an inner disciple of the sect in the Immortal World called "Penglai"!

"Senior Cang Wu, in the Immortal World, uh. How are the realms divided in the Colossal World? " Chi Caibo was very curious about this question, so she asked Cang Wu with a smile. Although he was only in the Out of Body Stage, as the Taoist boy of Senior Shi's master, he should call him senior. When she was in the Yunxiao Sect, she could only rely on her imagination to guess the realms after the Gold Core Stage. Now that she was in the Immortal World, she could figure out her possible goals in the future, which could be used as motivation and also prevent her from going astray during cultivation.

Cang Wu was very satisfied with Chi Caibo and Chi Zhengde's modest and polite performance. He was very willing to explain to them, "You all know that the Gold Core Stage is followed by the Yin Spirit Stage, and after that is the Primordial Spirit Stage. At this stage, one can be considered to have achieved immortality."

So there was another stage before immortality called the Yin Spirit Stage. Chi Zhengde nodded thoughtfully and continued to listen to Cang Wu's introduction.

"After the Primordial Spirit Stage, there will be a total of four Heavenly Tribulations. According to the cultivation level of the Perfected Ones, it would happen once every few hundred to several thousand years. However, there were some Essence Soul Perfected Ones who, through choosing the right environment, setting up arrays, or cultivating special techniques, could even delay the Heavenly Tribulation for ten to twenty thousand years. A Primordial Soul Venerable who had gone through the first Heavenly Tribulation was also known as a Yang Spirit Venerable because his Primordial Soul had been rid of Yin Qi and transformed into Pure Yang. As for what comes after that, I only know that there are three realms — Celestial Realm, Dao Integration, and Creation. As for the specifics, I'm not too sure. "Cang Wu was only at Leaving Aperture realm, so there were many manuals that he couldn't exchange for.

Following Cang Wu's words, Chi Caibo asked another question that she was very curious about and concerned about, "May I know what Senior Shi's current cultivation level is?"

Cang Wu knew that she was asking about Martial Uncle Shi, so he simply answered, "Martial Uncle Shi is in the Divine Soul Stage, but I don't know if he has reached the peak stage or not."

"Divine Soul realm!?" Chi Caibo didn't believe it at all. Although she came from a Lesser Chiliocosm and had shallow knowledge, she couldn't be fooled with such words! He had seen many Divine Soul Stage masters, so how could that Sky Piercing Sword be the technique of a Divine Soul Stage master? Could the feeling of becoming one with the world be a manifestation of someone at the Divine Soul Realm?

Cang Wu heard the disbelief in Chi Caibo's words, but he understood it from another perspective. He said proudly, "Yes, don't be fooled by Martial Uncle Shi's young age. He has been in the Divine Soul stage for more than thirty years. Other people at his age might not even have reached the consummation of the Qi Channeling stage. Six years for the Qi Drawing Realm, and 20 years for the Divine Soul Stage, these are the top cultivation speed in the sect. Maybe Martial Uncle Shi can reach the Gold Core Stage in 50 years. "

Chi Caibo was about to refute, but Chi Zhengde gently pulled her and signaled with his eyes not to pester her on this issue. So the two continued to ask Cang Wu about other things in the Cultivation World, until Cang Wu arranged for them to stay in a cave residence on Mizar Peak and then left.

"Little brother, why didn't you let me ask just now? How could Senior Shi be at the Divine Soul Stage?!" Chi Caibo was a little angry and puzzled. Cang Wu looked like a good person, so how could he deceive her with such a lie that could be seen through at a glance? No matter what, he had to make it more perfect. Could it be that he looked down on her intelligence?

Chi Zhengde shook his head and said, "From Senior Cang Wu's expression, attitude, and tone, it doesn't seem like he's lying."

"Do you also think that Senior Shi is at the Divine Soul Stage?!" Chi Caibo stared at her little brother.

Chi Zhengde also shook his head. "Based on Senior Shi's performance, how could he be at the Divine Soul Stage? Second sister, do you think that Senior Shi, who can show the realm of becoming one with the world, is only at the Divine Soul Stage? "

"Then what do you mean?" Chi Caibo was puzzled.

Chi Zhengde smiled confidently and said, "Since both of them are true, it means that Senior Shi has concealed his cultivation in front of Senior Cang Wu and the others. I heard that many senior masters often hide their cultivation and train in the mortal world like ordinary people. Senior Shi should be one of them. Didn't Senior Shi warn us not to tell others about him showing the realm of becoming one with the world? "

"Yes! Yes! Yes! How could I have forgotten about it? Also, maybe Senior Shi is cultivating some supreme immortal technique and needs to walk through all the realms of cultivation from the beginning. Didn't Senior Cang Wu just say that Senior Shi spent six years in the Qi Drawing Realm and twenty years in the Divine Soul Stage? This just shows that Senior Shi has a solid foundation! "Chi Caibo's train of thought began to diverge.

Chi Zhengde nodded. "That's right. Although he has to walk through all the realms from the beginning, his insight, knowledge, and cultivation are definitely still there. It's not difficult for him to show the realm of becoming one with the world. Second sister, what realm do you think Senior Shi's true cultivation is at? "

"Little brother, you're so stupid. Didn't Senior Cang Wu mention a realm called the Celestial Being? The realm of becoming one with the world … if it's not the Celestial Being, what is it? "Chi Caibo said proudly.

"Yes. That's true. "

…

Shi Xuan didn't know that two of his admirers had made up the story about the Oneness of Heaven and Men, making the whole thing more or less reasonable. Although there were many loopholes, they believed it without a doubt. At this time, Shi Xuan had just walked into his cave residence. Qing Feng and Ming Yue, the two Taoist children, came to greet him and handed Shi Xuan the messages left by others in the cave residence over the years. Among them were Voice-Leaving Talismans, jade slips, letters, and even invitations. Meanwhile, the black dragon Ao Gu was leisurely basking in the sun outside the cave residence.

Two of the Voice-Leaving Talismans were left by Zhou Dielan. She returned to the sect after her travels 14 years ago and came to visit Shi Xuan. In the end, she met Shi Xuan who had entered the Spirit Space to cultivate, so she left a Voice-Leaving Talisman. At that time, she had reached the advanced level of the Qi Drawing Realm. After another five years, after completing many Karma points and advancing to the Consummation of the Qi Drawing Realm, she decided to follow in Yu Ruoshui's footsteps and return home to enjoy a happy life with her family. At the same time, she was looking for an opportunity to break through to the Spirit Realm. But at that time, Shi Xuan was still in the Spirit Space, so she left another Voice-Leaving Talisman and invited Shi Xuan to visit Alkaid Island when he was free.

The other Voice-Leaving Talismans were left by fellow disciples who came to Shi Xuan to discuss Taoism. Whether Shi Xuan admitted it or not, in the eyes of other disciples, he was an out-and-out cultivation genius and a master of swordsmanship. Therefore, many inner disciples, including several inherited disciples, wanted to exchange cultivation experiences with Shi Xuan so that they could benefit from each other.

That Jade Slip was sent by someone two years ago by Yu Ruoshui. It roughly recorded her life at home these years, her understanding of it, her experience in cultivation, and some puzzles. It could also be regarded as an exchange of cultivation experiences with Shi Xuan and confirmation of each other's path. According to her, after 17 years of cultivation at home, she had already touched the threshold of the Spirit Realm. Maybe in another ten years or so, she would be able to break through.

As for those letters and invitations, they were a bit messy. Some were written by rogue cultivators and disciples of other sects who admired him and wanted to challenge him. Some invited him to participate in a small gathering of several masters of swordsmanship, and some begged him to participate in a Sword Conference. However, without exception, the time they set had long passed. He didn't know whether the image of him being arrogant, condescending, or deceiving, and not daring to accept challenges had begun to spread among the cultivators.

Seeing this, Shi Xuan could only smile and shake his head. If he accepted someone's challenge, then where would he have the time to cultivate? But, if the other party really did have real skills, then he didn't mind increasing his fighting experience and also comprehending the Dao Laws. It was just that among these letters and invitations, Shi Xuan didn't see any of the strongest Divine Soul masters or those who had already cultivated the Thunderous Sword Energy. Therefore, even if Shi Xuan hadn't gone into seclusion at the time, he still wouldn't have paid attention to them.

After resting for a day, Shi Xuan flew towards Dubhe Peak. He planned to go to the External Affairs Hall and entrust their deacon in the Western Wilderness to help him pay attention to whether or not some materials would appear in the underground auction. This was because Shi Xuan didn't want to blindly search for materials after arriving in the Western Wilderness or foolishly wait for the materials he wanted to appear in the auction. It was a waste of time and it was inefficient. For this reason, Shi Xuan had prepared a list of materials that were all heavenly treasures. Of course, many of them were things that Shi Xuan didn't need, so he didn't want to confuse others.

"Junior Brother Shi, it's been a long time." As soon as Shi Xuan landed on Dubhe Peak, he heard a familiar and peaceful voice. It was Xie Fangwei, who was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe. He didn't wear a crown, but a dark brown wooden hairpin was inserted into his hair. He looked refreshed, and compared with the past, his aura seemed more profound.

Shi Xuan laughed and cupped his hands. "I just came out of seclusion yesterday, so I haven't had the time to congratulate Senior Brother Xie for achieving the Upper Grade Jindan."

Xie Fangwei's attitude was the same as before. He didn't put on airs just because he was now a Jindan Grandmaster. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Shi. I will accept your congratulations. Otherwise, I will be sorry for the torment and struggle when I was in the Divine Soul Stage. Now looking back, I really don't know how I survived." His tone was full of emotion.
