Under the pitch-black night sky, there were two shadows facing each other from afar. One of them could not be seen clearly, as a hazy Qi enveloped him and isolated him. The other was the young Yang Wu. He stared at the hazy figure, hoping to see his appearance clearly.
"Brat, stop looking. This is just a will clone of mine. With your strength, you can't see my appearance clearly. Don't waste your energy." The hazy figure said faintly.
"Brat thanks senior for saving my life." Yang Wu came back to his senses and bowed to the hazy figure.
"What senior? Call me master. From now on, you are my disciple. No one in this world can bully you anymore." The hazy figure said with a huge tone.
"Senior, are you joking? How can this brat be your disciple? "Yang Wu said nervously.
To be able to injure Fen Tianxiong with just a wave of Qi, one could imagine how strong he was. It was not bad to have such a master protecting him, but he did not even know who the other party was, so how could he casually acknowledge him as his master?
"Brat, don't be unsatisfied. If it wasn't for this old man's mind wandering and accidentally discovering that you had the ability to kill a little warrior of the Earth Sea Realm at such a young age, this old man wouldn't have been tempted by your talent. Now, even if you don't want to, you have to. This old man won't be here for long, so let's talk about it after the ceremony." After the hazy figure said that, he extended a hand towards Yang Wu, and an invisible force enveloped Yang Wu. Yang Wu's body was uncontrollably controlled, and he knelt down heavily. His head was forcefully pressed towards the ground by the force.
"Senior, you can't do this." Yang Wu struggled.
Bang!
One kowtow.
"Senior, can we discuss this properly? It's not good to be so rough."
Bang!
Two kowtows.
"Senior, if you continue to be like this, I will scold you. Bullying others is not something an old man should do."
Bang!
Three kowtows.
"Senior, can you remove your power and let me do the ceremony myself?"
Bang bang!
No matter what Yang Wu said, it was useless. The nine kowtows were unavoidable.
"Alright, the ceremony is over. From now on, you will be the registered disciple of the First Palace Guardian Elder of the Heavenly Palace. Whether you can become this old man's true disciple, you still need to improve your strength as soon as possible. Reach the Earth Sea Realm before the age of 20, and the Heavenly Fish Realm before the age of 25. If you can't reach today's ceremony, then this old man will waste it. If you can do it, then this old man will come to find you and formally invite you into the Heavenly Palace and become its disciple."
"Master will teach you some comprehension methods for these two realms. Whether or not you can absorb them will depend on your own comprehension and ability." After the hazy shadow explained, a wisp of power flew into the space between Yang Wu's eyebrows.
It was also at this time that the hazy shadow quietly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
As for Yang Wu, there was an inexplicable comprehension of the last two realms in his mind. These comprehensions were not something he could comprehend all at once. Instead, as his strength increased, he would gradually understand the profoundness within. Then, he would find a suitable path for himself and break through in one fell swoop.
Yang Wu regained his freedom. He looked at the ground that had caved in from his kowtows, then touched his forehead and muttered, "This captain isn't dreaming, right?"
Little Hei's voice rang out, "It really isn't a dream. That old man really does have some skills. He's just pretending to be mysterious."
"Then what realm is he at? How does he compare to a Heaven Demon?" Yang Wu asked Little Hei.
"He is indeed stronger than a Heaven Demon. In the Human Realm, he should be one of the strongest existences." Little Hei concluded.
"Wow, no wonder he's so arrogant. It seems that I have a very awesome master." Yang Wu said excitedly.
"Don't make a fuss about nothing. As long as you cultivate the Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula to the Great Accomplishment Stage, you will be many times stronger than him." Little Hei replied. After a pause, it said, "Recently, have you noticed that the power you absorb is not increasing, but decreasing?"
Yang Wu was slightly stunned, then replied, "It seems to be the case. I have just broken through to the High General Level, and my realm has only just stabilized. It is reasonable that my improvement is not as obvious as before, right?"
Yang Wu had also noticed this problem long ago. He felt that it might be because he had suddenly improved too quickly, which led to this situation. However, Little Hei's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
"Of course it is not reasonable. What kind of immortal art is the Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula? It is so powerful that it would not cause your improvement to stagnate." Little Hei replied.
"Then what is going on? Could it be that I am not cultivating properly? "
"That is not the case. Instead, it is time for you to find the next type of Profound Essence Energy. Only by gathering all nine types of Profound Essence Energy can the Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula advance. Only then will you be able to step into the next realm. If you cannot find the next type of Profound Essence Energy, you will be stuck in this realm for the rest of your life, unable to advance even an inch!"
"That can't be. It shouldn't be that serious."
"Do you think that I will frighten you on this matter?"
"That is not the case. I just feel that it is a little strange. Then, Little Hei, do you think that I should change to another immortal art? That way, there will be no such restriction, right?"
"Once you cultivate the Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula, you will not be able to change to another one. So, you should accept your fate."
"Then what should I do? How do I know where the next type of Profound Essence Energy is?"
"That is why I said that you should prepare to leave this place as soon as possible. Even if you have to travel all over the world, you must find the other types of Profound Essence Energy."
… …
Yang Wu was a little flustered.
If he was stuck in the General Realm for the rest of his life, then his Yang Clan would never be able to rise again, and he would never be able to clear his name.
"Do I really have to blindly search for Profound Essence Energy like this? This is undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack. It will be difficult to find another type even if I grow old," Yang Wu said gloomily.
Last time, he had obtained the Precelestial Profound Essence Energy by luck. He did not think that he would be able to find such a good thing again.
"You don't have to worry too much. Since the Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula exists and requires nine different types of Profound Essence Energy, then it will give you a hint at a critical moment, allowing you to find the next type of Profound Essence Energy. What you need to do now is to cultivate this realm to perfection as soon as possible. Perhaps that hint will appear at that time," Little Hei comforted him.
Yang Wu thought for a moment and nodded. "You are right. That should be the case." After a pause, he said, "Let's not worry about this for now. Let's return to the army first. I cannot be a deserter. Let's deal with a bunch of trivial matters first, then think of a way to find the next type of Profound Essence Energy."
After saying this, he called Cheap Bone over and brought Little Hei back to the army.
Now, he did not have too many worries. With such a cheap master in front of so many generals, he believed that no one would be foolish enough to come looking for trouble in the future.
… …
"You good-for-nothings, hurry up and find me a pill to reattach my severed arm. I don't want to be a cripple. Also, chop up that bastard who severed my arm and feed him to the dogs." In a tent, the Fifth Prince had already woken up. He roared at the people around him as if he had gone mad.
The Fifth Prince was a martial arts genius who had been preparing to enter the Transcendent Realm. Now that he had lost an arm, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him. It was possible that his life would be ruined because of this, so it would be strange if he was in a good mood.
Apart from Li Gonggong and his companions, there were also a few important members of the army waiting on him.
The important members of the army were scolded badly by the Fifth Prince. One by one, they left the tent dejectedly. It was really not their turn to wait on this kind of master.
"Your Highness, please calm down. This servant has already asked Fen Tianxiong to immediately find a way to reattach the bone. He has already confirmed that there is someone in the army who can refine the 'Bone Connecting Pill'. It will definitely be able to restore Your Highness' arm to its original state." Li Gonggong bowed and said.
"Really?" The Fifth Prince asked with a hopeful look.
"Fen Tianxiong shouldn't be lying." Li Gonggong said.
"I have also heard that the Bone Connecting Pill can reattach a severed limb. It shouldn't be fake." Lin Qiqi said from the side.
"Good, good. Immediately call Fen Tianxiong over. I want the Bone Connecting Pill." The Fifth Prince said impatiently.
"This old servant will call him over now." Li Gonggong said respectfully.
"Oh right, what happened to that bastard who severed my arm? Did Fen Tianxiong execute him?" The Fifth Prince asked.
"Uh … That he didn't." Li Gonggong said hesitantly.
"What? What does Fen Tianxiong mean? Could it be that he is looking down on this prince?" The Fifth Prince said angrily.
Fen Tianxiong was one of the top ten kings of the Da Xia Empire. He was also a commander of a region and was ranked as a second-ranked general. Even the current emperor had to be courteous to him. If Fen Tianxiong heard the Fifth Prince shouting like this, his expression would not look too good.
"The person who injured Your Highness has some status. He is the son of Lieutenant General Cao Jianda. Cao Jianda has already taught his son a lesson. During the day, he even brought his son to apologize to Your Highness. At that time, Your Highness was still unconscious." Li Gonggong replied.
"I don't care whose son he is. Whoever severed my arm will die!" The Fifth Prince said with a strong sense of viciousness.
He was too agitated and affected his wound, causing him to roll around on the bed in pain.
Lin Qiqi and the other companions persuaded the Fifth Prince to calm down, while Li Gonggong went to invite Fen Tianxiong.
Not long after, Fen Tianxiong arrived. Along with him was Cao Jianda and Cao Qinggong, who was beaten black and blue.
"Bastard, hurry up and kneel down and beg for forgiveness from His Highness the Fifth Prince!" Cao Jianda shouted at his son.
Cao Qinggong's eyes flashed with unwillingness, but he still knelt down and said, "Cao Qinggong greets Your Highness the Fifth Prince. Qinggong accidentally injured Your Highness the Fifth Prince and deserves to die. Please forgive me, Your Highness the Fifth Prince."
"I don't want to see you. Take him out and execute him." The Fifth Prince roared angrily.
At this time, Cao Jianda suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed his son's arm.
Ah!
Cao Qinggong did not expect his father to be so cruel and merciless. He cut off his arm when he was unprepared, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, if you are still unwilling to forgive him, I will cut off another arm. I only beg Your Highness to spare his life." Cao Jianda knelt down and said. He felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
