Chapter 279 Preaching and Instruction (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking further subscriptions!)

"How could that be? Goddess Liu, you're overthinking it."

Upon hearing Liu Shen's words, Wu Xian was startled, but his expression remained innocent. He blinked a few times, trying to get away with it by being cute.

"My situation is a bit complicated. You might not believe it, but I've only been cultivating for less than three months. The reason I have my current strength is because a master taught me in my dream some time ago. When I woke up, I had divine power. I still don't understand how it happened."

These words are absolutely true; they came from the bottom of Wu Xian's heart.

Sharing the power of others in the mysterious space—isn't that just like having a master imparting knowledge in a dream?

Moreover, he truly knew nothing about the origins of the mysterious space. These were all the undeniable truths, only that Wu Xian had obscured them and not stated them directly.

[Preaching in a dream?]

Willow God's voice carried a hint of doubt and curiosity. The emerald green willow branch swirled around Wu Xian, its tip glowing with a green light, as if trying to touch Wu Xian's forehead.

Seeing this, Wu Xian frowned. He didn't like others probing his secrets. Even though he was confident that the shielding ability of the Light of the Mind could block Liu Shen's detection, he was still very unhappy and wondered whether he should take action to resist later.

Just then, the willow branch suddenly stopped and returned to the side of the Willow God, and then that neutral, gentle voice came again.

[To be able to perform the Enlightenment Technique within a dream without diminishing your potential in the slightest—among the people I know, only a handful can do this… In any case, this is an incredible opportunity; you must seize it, for it may lead to great achievements in the future.]

"Thank you for your guidance, Goddess Liu."

Wu Xian raised his hand in a respectful bow, his attitude extremely courteous.

This is a rare opportunity for him, but Liu Shen is undoubtedly qualified.

"Hmm... I observe that you and Shi Hao have reached your respective limits in the Blood Transformation Realm. It's time to prepare for breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm. Fortunately, you returned earlier than expected, so I can offer some guidance. If it had been any longer, I might have had to fall into slumber again."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Shi Hao and the other villagers were somewhat surprised. Only then did Shi Hao realize that Liu Shen's appearance was somewhat different from before.

Much of the charred bark of the old tree had peeled off, and several protrusions could be seen on the trunk, as if something was trying to crawl out.

"Lord Liu Shen, are you alright?"

An elder from Shicun asked tremblingly, his tone filled with worry, both for the Willow God and for the safety of Shicun.

Willow God is the current sacred spirit of Stone Village. It is powerful, but if something goes wrong, it may be coveted by other surrounding villages, and Stone Village's situation will become dangerous.

[It's alright, it's just a period of seclusion, which is a good thing for me. But you all need to be careful, because I won't be able to protect you for the next year.]

The willow branch twitched slightly, shifting a few inches closer to Wu Xian. [However, now that you're here, I can finally relax. I hope you can look after Stone Village while I'm in seclusion; I will repay you afterwards.]

"You're too kind, Liu Shen. I'm Hao Ge's younger brother, so I'm practically a member of Shi Village. Protecting my home is my duty."

Wu Xian answered with a smile, but he knew very well that Liu Shen's seclusion this time was a transformation, like a withered tree coming back to life, repairing the injuries she had suffered in the Upper Realm.

Once He successfully transforms, His strength will recover significantly. Conservatively speaking, he will be able to easily kill a Divine Fire Realm expert, and may even be much stronger than He is now.

Of course, this refers to Wu Xian in his normal state. If you combine all of Wu Xian's power with the Light of the Mind, then he could kill his opponent with just a few punches.

"Brother Xian! You're so kind!"

Shi Hao was moved by Wu Xian once again. He then clenched his little fist, looked at Liu Shen, and said loudly, "Liu Shen, please teach me to break through to the Cave Heaven Realm now. I also want to protect Shi Village and everyone else."

"Don't rush, Brother Hao. Go back to the village and take a bath first, then share the good stuff you got on the road with everyone. After you've rested and are fully refreshed, it's not too late to think about breaking through your cultivation level." Wu Xian stopped the hot-blooded Shi Hao and handed him a storage bag, saying this.

"Ah this..."

Shi Hao scratched his head. He had gotten used to listening to his smart younger brother's opinions these past few days, and suddenly found them to make a lot of sense.

After thanking Wu Xian, he bid farewell to Liu Shen and left with the villagers of Shi Village, laughing and joking. It was clear that Shi Village would be very lively today.

At the same time, Shi Hao invited Wu Xian to come to Shi Village to play and get closer to everyone, but Wu Xian said that he had something to say to Liu Shen, and only asked the Shi clan elder who came with them from the second ancestral land and his few loyal servants to go with him, and he would come later.

Are you planning to be open and honest with me?

Willow Goddess's voice carried a hint of playful laughter.

"There's nothing particularly frank about it; everything I said before was the truth!"

Wu Xian shrugged, looking helpless. Then he raised his hand and touched his forehead, drawing out a red and blue halo, which he then launched onto the lightning-struck wood of the Willow God.

Liu Shen did not stop her, allowing the light to enter her body, and began to carefully experience the information contained within it.

“This is something that a powerful figure I met in my dream taught me. I would like to ask God Liu to take a look and see if there are any problems with it.”

As Wu Xian said this, it could actually be considered a gift to Liu Shen.

The top experts in the Perfect World are all trying to create their own laws in order to break through the current constraints of the world and seize a chance to become an emperor.

The Willow Goddess was no exception; or rather, this was partly the reason why she was injured and forced to descend to the mortal realm. Now, having given her a large number of cultivation paths that did not belong to this world, it would undoubtedly have a certain promoting effect on her taking that step in the future.

Although this was a completely unnecessary thing to do, I couldn't miss the chance to make Liu Shen owe me, because given her personality, she would undoubtedly repay me double, so why wouldn't I take it?

Of course, Wu Xian didn't hand over everything. For example, the orthodox method of analyzing runes in cultivation was his most treasured possession. He wouldn't share it with anyone before creating a "new Bagua" regarding his future attainment of enlightenment in the Perfect World.

[Dual-wielding techniques, the Heavenly Talisman, the Six Treasuries of Immortal Thieves, Qi Refining, as well as spiritual power, genetic warriors, spiritual energy, the path of internal force... these are all cultivation systems completely different from this world, which I have never seen in the past million years.]

Willow Goddess's voice was filled with surprise.

[Were you not lying before? Was it really true that a mysterious person preached to you in your dream?]

"Of course, how could I possibly lie to you, Goddess Liu?"

Wu Xian said indignantly, looking very aggrieved.

Seeing his expression, the willow god's emerald green willow branch paused slightly, seemingly speechless.

But then, as if making a decision, He manipulated the willow branches to float in front of Wu Xian again, glowing with a soft green light.

"These things you gave me will be very helpful to me. After I finish teaching Shi Hao the method to break through to the Cave Heaven Realm, I will study them and go into seclusion."

In return, I will teach you several powerful magical techniques I possess, but please do not teach them to Shi Hao yet, lest they affect his future path.

[Also, because of you, my seclusion this time might be much longer than expected. Therefore, I will also teach you how to open the portal to the Void God Realm. After you and Shi Hao break through to the Cave Heaven Realm, you can go inside to train, which will be helpful for your future cultivation.]
