Many cultivators in the entire Blade Emperor City were paying attention to the Star Convention. Being the teacher of the convention, Dongbo Xue Ying was relatively busy. Even though the number of Primal Chaos giants who came to visit could be counted with one's fingers, there were too many 'genius cultivators'.
"I hope for Senior Dongbo to guide me." A black-robed old man respectfully said. There were still remnants of a savage ripple in the surroundings.
Dongbo Xue Ying sat there. He placed down the wine cup in his hand. The female attendant by the side immediately poured the wine for him stealthily. The fragrance of the wine permeated the air.
"Even though it is one's weakness that determines one's life and death during a battle." Dongbo Xue Ying chuckled, "It is right that you wish to make up for your weakness. But you are currently at the second level Star Pagoda strength and is still relatively weak. You should spend more effort on the techniques you specialize in and make them stronger."
"When you have an overwhelming advantage in a certain aspect, you can similarly suppress your opponents." Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"Yes, this junior understands." The black-robed old man answered.
The age of a cultivator could not be judged from his appearance. Just like when a Transcendent cultivated at a slower speed, causing his appearance to be older. But after becoming a Deity or World Deity, he would continue to rise. This was something that was very common.
This old man in front of him was indeed one of the genius cultivators participating in this convention. He had cultivated for just over 200 billion years, and was considered relatively young.
"Then is it possible for this junior to be chosen by senior?" The black-robed old man could not help but ask.
"You have cultivated for a relatively short period, and are a loose cultivator. Hence, you do not have a good teacher to guide you." Dongbo Xue Ying chuckled, "The only flaw is that your ranking this time is slightly lower. You are ranked at the 3,000th rank. If you could be in the top 1,000, your chances of being chosen would be much higher. Properly cultivate and make the best use of your time to break through in this 1,000 years. Even if I don't choose you, I believe other teachers would. Alright, go. "
"Yes."
The black-robed old man obediently bowed. He did not dare to be disrespectful and left.
"Elder, these cultivators frequently come to seek an audience with you. There is no need for elder to meet them immediately." "It's not a big deal to let them wait for half a day. I've heard that the teachers of other conventions often wait outside for several days if they want to seek guidance."
"These thousand years are very important to them. Most of them are quite talented, but they lack guidance. With guidance, there might be a change within a thousand years. If there's an obvious increase in their strength, they'll have a chance to be chosen. "Dongbo Xue Ying said." There's no need to waste their time. "
Without sufficient insight, it would be difficult for one to see through the other party's actual situation, and it would be even more difficult for one to give good guidance.
Even General Heaven Light, Five Luster Serpent Ancestor and Violet Slaughter Island Lord might not be able to match up to Dongbo Xue Ying's understanding of the Unity realm.
…
Years passed by.
Those talented cultivators were originally unconvinced with Dongbo Xue Ying in their hearts: 'We are also at the Unity realm. Even though he is stronger than us, he is still at the Unity realm. How can he be a teacher of the convention?'
But after the majority of them went to seek guidance, they discovered that Dongbo Xue Ying's attitude was clearly better, causing many of them to have a good impression of him. But there were also cultivators who were mumbling inwardly: 'Hmph, he is ultimately at the Unity realm. The other four teachers of the convention are all Primal Chaos realm giants. Their statuses are different, and it is natural for his attitude to be better.'
Cultivators had different personalities.
There were also some who were violent, twisted, and extremely selfish.
*****
In the blink of an eye, 300 years passed. Dongbo Xue Ying had a more detailed judgment of the potential of this batch of talented cultivators. But he would only choose at the final moment! Because at that time, the five teachers of the convention would provide him with a name list. If the name list of others overlapped with his, he would naturally choose someone else.
On this day, the sun was setting in the west.
Dongbo Xue Ying sat cross-legged by the side of the lake within his cavern-dwelling. He was meditating silently. In his mind, he was deducing the technique he wanted to fuse the Dao of Mirage and Dao of Slaughter together. With his pride, he still wanted to reach the seventh level strength at the Unity realm. Challenging the final limit at every level would be of great help to the accumulation of his foundation. One's comprehension ability was not fixed the moment one was born. Instead, it would change over time. If he could get through the seventh level at the Unity realm, it would be easy for him to step into the eighth level after reaching the Primal Chaos realm. The ninth level was not too far away either.
This was the improvement of one's comprehension ability.
Like Sword Master, why was he so heaven-defying? It was because he did not have any good guidance in his hometown cosmos. He had to rely on himself to comprehend. This was also forcing him to temper himself. After forcefully cultivating to the Primal Chaos realm, his foundation was incredibly thick. After entering the Great Void Heaven Temple, he read through many books and absorbed the wisdom of the seniors. Naturally, he broke through to the Cosmos God realm.
Currently, Dongbo Xue Ying had good guidance and many absolute arts. He even had the stone mirror and other treasures. Naturally, he would have higher expectations of himself!
Muddling along would only make him fade into the masses.
"Elder, Xing Huo Xun Yi seeks an audience." The protector came over and respectfully reported.
"Let him in." Dongbo Xue Ying ordered.
Very soon.
A golden-robed young man walked in. He was in high spirits and was entirely different from the first time they met.
"Greetings, Elder." Xing Huo Xun Yi bowed respectfully. He was filled with admiration and gratefulness from the bottom of his heart.
"I thought that after you left the previous time, you would come and seek my guidance. Who would have thought that you would be gone for 300 years this time." Dongbo Xue Ying chuckled.
"My father once said that if I were to ask my teacher for everything in cultivation, then in the future when my teacher could no longer guide me, I would have to rely on myself. By then, it would be hard for me to break through. Thus, even if I met with some problems, I would have to rely on myself to solve them. "Xing Huo Xun Yi said.
Dongbo Xue Ying revealed a smile.
For instance, when the Great Void Heaven Temple taught disciples, the seniors would write down their comprehensions and place them in the Myriad Elephant Palace, allowing the juniors to read and comprehend by themselves. The path they walked would all depend on the disciples themselves. Asking their teacher for help whenever they met with a problem would indeed not have a bright future.
"Junior has some gains in cultivating the Dao of Mirage. Elder, please guide me." Xing Huo Xun Yi pointed slightly with his finger.
An illusory world appeared by the side. Then, the illusory world descended into reality, causing the surrounding heaven and earth energy to surge. Furthermore, it rapidly shrunk into a ball.
Dongbo Xue Ying's pupils shrank. He could not help but say: "World Prison?"
"You've cultivated the World Prison? Your Dao of Mirage has reached the Origin Birth realm? "Dongbo Xue Ying was shocked.
How long had it been!
Just 300 years.
Xing Huo Xun Yi revealed a smile and nodded: "After junior returned, I started researching the laws and profound mysteries system, the 'Dao of Mirage'. With the absolute art senior gave me, in addition to my deep accumulation in the illusory realm, I've reached the Unity realm in the ancient cultivation lineage. Furthermore, my father gave me a cultivation aid, which allowed me to cultivate to this stage. "
"But 300 years …" Dongbo Xue Ying still did not dare to believe it.
"Oh, I've been cultivating in the Tower of Time in Blade Imperial City. In reality, I've already cultivated for three million years." Xing Huo Xun Yi said.
Only then did Dongbo Xue Ying understand.
That should be enough.
For someone who had never cultivated the Dao of Mirage, even if he had deep accumulation in the ancient cultivation of illusory realms, the laws and profound mysteries system would allow him to grasp the Mirage more thoroughly. Even if he had reached the 'Void Origin Birth realm', it was still an inconceivable matter in a short 300 years.
If it was three million years, that would be more or less the case.
…
Dongbo Xue Ying felt that it was more or less the case. If this were to spread to the outside world, it would still shock many cultivators. Because cultivating the 'ancient cultivation illusory realm' in the Dao of Mirage was easy because the ancient cultivation illusory realm itself did not require a deep understanding of the illusory realm. On the other hand — cultivating the ancient cultivation illusory realm before cultivating the Dao of Mirage would make it hard for the cultivator to have a huge breakthrough in the Dao of Mirage.
Three million years. Dongbo Xue Ying felt that it was normal because his cultivation speed was extremely fast. Compared to him, Dongbo Xue Ying, Xing Huo Xun Yi had cultivation aid and ancient cultivation aid. He felt that it was still acceptable for him to reach this stage in three million years.
But compared to the cultivators in the outside world, it was shocking.
After all, it had only been a few million years …
And his strength had reached the third level Star Pagoda from the second level Star Pagoda realm!
"Grasping the 'World Prison' with the Dao of Mirage at the Origin Birth realm is extremely difficult." Xing Huo Xun Yi said, "I've comprehended many structures of the illusory realm world within the Boundary Stone in the past. That's how I barely managed to do it. But the second style, 'Illusory Annihilation', requires the cultivator to reach the Unity realm in the Dao of Mirage. But I feel that it is much more difficult. There are many perplexities that I can't comprehend no matter what. "
Dongbo Xue Ying chuckled.
He still thought that this brat could reach the Unity realm in the Dao of Mirage with just that bit of ancient cultivation experience!
"Speak." Dongbo Xue Ying said.
Xing Huo Xun Yi nodded. He then continued practicing and asking questions. Many illusory worlds appeared around him.
Dongbo Xue Ying casually guided Xing Huo Xun Yi as he listened. Every single time, Xing Huo Xun Yi would point out the essence of what he was not good at. He could only rely on his experience and the books he read in the Myriad Elephant Palace Hall to guide him. As for the Dao of Mirage, Dao of Slaughter, Dao of Ripple, and the void that he specialized in, Dongbo Xue Ying had it at his fingertips.
Xing Huo Xun Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that. He was so excited that he was beaming with joy. After all, some of the things that had troubled him for a long time had been explained clearly by Dongbo Xue Ying using some ingenious methods. Dongbo Xue Ying had even pointed out many directions for him.
This time, the guidance continued for a total of ten days.
Beside the lake.
Dongbo Xue Ying was still sitting cross-legged there. The night had passed, and the sun had risen.
"Many thanks for elder's guidance." Xing Huo Xun Yi was grateful and respectful.
"Your comprehension is not bad." Dongbo Xue Ying smiled. No wonder this Xing Huo Xun Yi could improve so quickly in the ancient cultivation illusory realm. He was indeed someone with extremely high comprehension. He was definitely the one with the highest comprehension amongst all the genius cultivators that Dongbo Xue Ying had guided.
"Then can this junior take elder as my master now?" Xing Huo Xun Yi could not help but ask.
"It's still early. Let's talk about it after the Star Convention ends." Dongbo Xue Ying said.
Xing Huo Xun Yi was slightly disappointed.
But he still said respectfully: "This junior will go back and cultivate first. During the past ten days of elder's guidance, this junior has to go back and cultivate properly."
"Go." Dongbo Xue Ying said.
Xing Huo Xun Yi obediently bowed and left.
And as Dongbo Xue Ying watched as Xing Huo Xun Yi left, he thought: 'He currently has the strength of a third level Star Pagoda expert. In the future, he should be able to improve further. Amongst the cultivators of the Star Convention, his comprehension ability is definitely one of the best. I should be able to leave a spot for him in my name list.'
He was quite fond of Xing Huo Xun Yi because the other party specialized in the Dao of Mirage that he, Dongbo Xue Ying, was most proud of.
It was not easy to meet a talent that was suitable to inherit his absolute art.
