Chapter 2095 A Hundred Thousand True Immortals (2)
“Sect Leader Zhang is trying to… enhance the concentration of spiritual energy in the air?”
“But… this is too extravagant, isn’t it?”
“Of course it is! How many Semi-Divinity realm cultivators do you there are on the Forsaken Continent? That being said, as the energy released by those Semi-Divinity realm cultivators has been refined before, it is much easier to absorb and assimilate!”
“That’s indeed the case. However, the gap between Pseudo Immortal realm to True Immortal realm is a relatively high hurdle to overcome. There’s a requirement on one’s talents in order to reach True Immortal realm, so not everyone will be able to make a breakthrough…”
“I guess you’re right. Without sufficient talent, it wouldn’t matter no matter how ample one’s cultivation resources are!”
After witnessing what had happened so far, the crowd widened their eyes in realization. They were finally able to grasp what Zhang Xuan was trying to do.
It was clear that he was trying to build a more favorable environment for these Pseudo Immortals to make a breakthrough to True Immortal realm!
To disintegrate the corpses of over a dozen Semi-Divinity realm cultivators and use their cultivation to cultivation to help everyone to make a breakthrough… This was an extravagance unseen before on the Forsaken Continent.
In fact, extravagance might be an understatement… Profligacy was a far more appropriate word!
In terms of strategic importance, a single Semi-Divinity realm cultivator, even when dead, far surpassed that of all of the Pseudo Immortals gathered beneath.
Furthermore, while it wasn’t a bad idea to raise the cultivation of these Pseudo Immortals through such a method, the problem was that it was likely to be an insufficient solution.
The Six Sects only devoted their cultivation resources to their most talented disciples was because it would be a waste to do otherwise. It was believed and proved time and time again that a cultivator could only go as far as the fundamental limitation brought about by one’s talents.
Even if a person were to come under the tutelage of a world-class coach, there would still be only a single gold medallist in the world.
Without talents, no matter how diligent or resourceful one was, there would be an invisible glass ceiling limiting how far one could go.
Of the 80,000 Heavenly Pseudo Immortals that were gathered here, it was unlikely that a tenth of them would eventually make a breakthrough in their entire
lifetime.
Thus, Zhang Xuan’s hopes were unlikely to be realized.
But again, it was probably a desperate measure. It was worth a try rather than to sit around and despair over it.
While the crowd was shaking their heads over the futility of the situation, Zhang Xuan sat down in the midst of the sky, and a golden glow shimmered around his body. In this very moment, he looked like a Buddha!
“Right now, I will be imparting to you the crux of reaching True Immortal realm.”
His voice echoed in the ears of every cultivator in the area, almost as if he was whispering right behind them.
Listening to Zhang Xuan’s lecture from below, Wu Chen narrowed his eyes, “This is… Kong shi’s Simple Words of Profound Wisdom?”
Given that the Young Master was a master teacher, there was no questioning his ability to impart knowledge to others. However, attempting to lecture 80,000 people at once was no easy feat. Every single cultivator had his own specific set of circumstances. So, when lecturing in large groups, the lecturer would have to make the content more generalized in order to remain relevant to everyone, but in the midst of doing so, it would make it harder for his words to resonate deeply with those listening.
For this reason, cultivators on the Master Teacher Continent preferred having 1-to-1 consultations with master teachers to resolve their problems.
Wu Chen had no idea whether Kong shi had lectured 80,000 people at once during his era, but this was definitely the first time he was witnessing such a grand sight.
Simple yet profound words dissolved amidst the spiritual energy and descended from the sky, surging into the bodies of each and every cultivator.
The crowd grew more and more excited as they savored every single word Zhang Xuan said. Agitation gripped their bodies as they trembled wildly.
Most aquatic creatures thought that the lecture would be meaningless to them as their physical constitution was vastly different from that of the humans. Yet, after listening for a short moment, they felt a shiver running down their spine as their pores and meridians opened wide to accept an influx of spiritual energy
What Zhang Xuan had lectured wasn’t a cultivation technique but a set of principles that deconstructed and deciphered the hurdle that stood between a Pseudo Immortal and a True Immortal.
It was an absolute logic of the world!
Through understanding and overcoming every single aspect of the hurdle, any lifeform would eventually be able to make a breakthrough to True Immortal realm.
Flowerclaws, this was the name of a certain crawfish amidst the crowd. Its name originated from the colorful pair of claws it was born with.
It had been several decades since Flowerclaws reached Heavenly Pseudo Immortal realm, but an accident had caused the foundation of its cultivation to stumble. Ever since then, it hadn’t been able to push its cultivation any further.
The person who had hurt it back then was a True Immortal realm disciple of the Six Sects. Back then, that darned fellow and his gang tried to capture it so as to braise it with spicy mala paste, but it managed to slip away. However, it had sustained severe injuries in the midst of doing so.
It lost a claw, and several of its meridians snapped. It was already a miracle
that it was able to maintain its current level of cultivation.
Not too long ago, the Three Kings rallied all of them together at Starchaser Island. It was thinking that this was the opportune moment to cut that darned disciple into multiple slices and cook him in curry…
But before it could even find that fellow, the master of Three Kings suddenly began on a lecture.
It didn’t pay any heed to the lecture initially as it knew that there was no way it would be able to further its cultivation given its current state. But after listening for a while, its shell suddenly began glowing crimson as spiritual energy surged into its body. Before it knew it, its cultivation was rising like crazy!
Hong long! True Immortal realm!
“I made a breakthrough…” Flowerclaws broke down in tears. “I won’t have to live in fear of getting captured and being made its spicy mala crawfish anymore!”
With its cultivation reaching True Immortal realm, it finally had the ability to protect itself.
“Since he’s the master of the Three Kings, he’s also the master of Flowerclaws as well. From this day onward, I shall pledge my loyalty to him. Even if he tries to kill me and braise me with onion, I’ll accept my fate…”
The little crawfish looked at the figure floating in the sky as it made up its mind.
The same scene was happening amongst the other aquatic creatures too.
Flower clams, scallops, oysters, razor shells… All of them managed to make a breakthrough too.
“I am hungryyyyyy…” Little Chick murmured as it looked at the aquatic creatures with saliva dripping from its lips. “Amazing…”
In less than an hour, more than half of those who were at Heavenly Pseudo Immortal realm previously had already made a breakthrough. Han Jianqiu and the others were shocked beyond words.
This ability to induce improvement in other cultivators was truly terrifying.
A single lecture actually allowed more than 40,000 Heavenly Pseudo Immortals to make a breakthrough to True Immortal realm…
This was a feat that they would dare not imagine to be possible, but it was really happening right before their eyes.
Seeing that he had finally reached the required amount, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Forcefully enduring his current exhaustion, he passed down an order.
“Alright, gather all of those who have managed to make a breakthrough together with the other True Immortals. Wu Chen, prepare the altar. We’ll be holding the ritual soon!”
The zhenqi of Semi-Divinity realm cultivators was extremely pure, such that even absorbing a sliver of it was enough for a Heavenly Pseudo Immortal to make a breakthrough. Furthermore, he had used over a dozen Semi-Divinity realm corpses for this and further refined and mediated the energy released through the formation…
Given the extent Zhang Xuan had gone to for this, it would be difficult for the Heavenly Pseudo Immortals to not make a breakthrough!
Of course, Zhang Xuan’s impartation also played a vital role as well. Even if those Heavenly Pseudo Immortals had accumulated sufficient energy, it would still take most of them at least several years to make a breakthrough.
The lecture reduced this lengthy duration to just a mere hour. More importantly, he had also won the loyalty of these 40,000 cultivators through this as well.
Zhang Xuan quickly immersed his cultivation into the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn to recover from his previous exertion.
Nevertheless, it still took him a few minutes to recover.
Within this period of time, Han Jianqiu and the others had finished gathering all of the True Immortal realm cultivators, and Wu Chen had also finished preparing the altar for the ritual too.
“Let’s begin!”
Even though all preparations were complete, Zhang Xuan was in no rush to carry out the ritual. Instead, still floating in midair, he began carrying out another lecture.
“What I want to talk about now is the way to practice battle techniques…”
If he wished to unite the hearts of everyone together, he would have to first win their respect.
Regarding that, he could think of no other ways than to impart his knowledge to them. If he could win their earnest gratitude, they would likely be more willing to help him cleanse the Aura of Divinity of its corruption.
“The way to practice battle techniques?”
Having witnessed the miracle Zhang Xuan had pulled off earlier, the crowd immediately pricked up their ears upon hearing his words. Anticipation and excitement could be felt in the atmosphere.
“The key to battle techniques lie in…”
Seeing that he had managed to gather everyone’s attention, Zhang Xuan smiled a little before beginning on his lecture.
Every single word he spoke seemed to linger in the surroundings, filling the air with a peculiar yet natural vibe. It was the feeling of resonance with the world, the harmony with nature and one’s surroundings.
“Don’t you think that it’s too late to only start raising your fighting prowess
now?”
A dissonant voice suddenly broke the atmosphere.
The sky shivered as a silhouette warped into existence before everyone’s eyes.
It was a person dressed in a flowing robe. He had a tall stature, and there was a hint of benevolence between his eyebrows.
“You…” Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes. He halted his lecture and stood up.
The person before him was no other than the man who had vanished after stealing the Aura of Divinity from him, Kong shi!
Kong shi’s aura seemed to have vanished completely, or to be more exact, he had managed to conceal it entirely within him, making it impossible to gauge the depth of his cultivation. However, his eyes still remained sharp as ever, inducing a feeling of helplessness in those facing him.
There could only be a single possibility behind this… Kong shi had managed to reach the level of the gods!
Crawfishes are extremely popular in China, though they can also be extremely resilient at times…
