Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 183 True Monarch Mingwu: I underestimated my disciple before (Seeking monthly votes)

"Shh..."

The next second, a jade bottle the size of two fingers appeared out of thin air in Yang Feng's hand.

Yang Feng opened the jade bottle, and immediately the water-attribute spiritual energy that filled the surrounding world rushed towards the jade bottle.

Without hesitation, Yang Feng immediately drank the Ninefold Azure Water in the jade bottle in one gulp.

A sweet taste flowed down Yang Feng's throat and into his abdomen, and Yang Feng felt a wave of comfort throughout his body.

Several hours later, after his body had fully absorbed and digested the energy contained in the Ninefold Azure Water, Yang Feng clearly felt that his body was more compatible with the water-based spiritual energy that filled the world.

Yang Feng then opened the system panel and took a look.

He saw that his water-attribute spiritual root had increased from water 79 to water 85.

"Now, of my five elemental spiritual roots, only the affinity of the metal spiritual root is not yet above 80..."

Yang Feng glanced at his other spiritual root attributes and thought to himself.

He then looked down at the other data on the system panel.

His physical cultivation level has reached the third stage of the third rank (mana: 96.5/100).

I'm not far from breaking through to the third-order, fourth-stage level.

Yang Feng estimated that, based on the current cultivation speed and progress, he would be able to break through to the third stage, fourth level in at most another six months.

In addition, there is the "Demon Blood Body Refining Technique, Third Stage". After several years of research and study, my current experience points have reached the mastery level: 788368/800000.

Yang Feng estimated that it would only take two or three months at most for him to break through to the Great Perfection realm.

Once he has mastered the "Demon Blood Body Refining Technique, Third Stage" and raised his physical cultivation to the third stage, fourth level, then...

At that time, he will be able to obtain two more fourth-grade low-level natural treasures from the system.

Perhaps, it will further improve his spiritual root aptitude.

As for his spiritual cultivation, Yang Feng looked at his current progress and estimated that at the current pace, it would take at least three or four more years to break through to the third stage, fourth level.

…………

A few days later, it was time for Master to give a sermon again.

Yang Feng rode the Golden Crowned Eagle and arrived at the Heavenly Palace's preaching ceremony early in the morning.

Good morning, senior sister...

Before long, Zhao Qingting arrived, and Yang Feng greeted her.

"Good morning, junior brother..."

"Oh, Junior Brother, your cultivation has broken through to the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm?"

Zhao Qingting smiled and replied to Yang Feng, but when she sensed that the magical power emanating from Yang Feng was much stronger than before, reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng thought of his senior sister, who had broken through to the Immortal Golden Core Realm twenty years earlier than him, and whose current cultivation level was still at the third level of the Golden Core Realm. He nodded apologetically.

"Junior brother, your cultivation has improved too fast..."

"I remember you achieved the Immortal Golden Core, it's only been thirty years since then, right?"

Zhao Qingting thought that it had been fifty years since she broke through to the Immortal Golden Core Realm, and she still hadn't raised her magical power cultivation to the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm.

As it turned out, his junior brother surpassed him in magical power cultivation in just thirty years.

This made her look at Yang Feng with new respect, while also making her feel a little envious.

"Hmm, perhaps it's because I've devoted most of my time and energy to improving my magical cultivation over the years, which is why I've progressed relatively quickly..."

Seeing his senior sister looking at him with envy, Yang Feng was worried that she would be upset if she saw that he had surpassed her, so he could only explain to himself.

"Hey, you don't need to explain any further."

"I know my junior brother is more talented than me in every aspect, and it's only a matter of time before he surpasses me..."

Zhao Qingting and Yang Feng had known each other for quite some time.

Thinking that she had broken through to the Immortal Golden Core Realm twenty years earlier than Yang Feng, she realized that Yang Feng's progress in comprehending the true meaning of the Great Dao had almost caught up with her over the years.

She had long realized that her junior brother was far more talented than her in every aspect.

She just didn't expect that not only was the other party's comprehension of the true meaning of the Great Dao much faster than hers, but now even their magical power cultivation had surpassed hers.

This forced her to reassess Yang Feng's talent for cultivation.

Zhao Qingting had always been confident in her talent for cultivation since she was a child.

He believed that his talent in cultivation was among the rarest in the entire Xia Kingdom.

However, over the years, after witnessing Yang Feng's progress in various aspects,

She realized that she was far inferior to Yang Feng...

This forced her to admit that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

"Greetings, Master."

Just then, Mingwu Zhenjun entered the preaching hall.

Upon seeing this, Yang Feng and Zhao Qingting quickly bowed and greeted them.

"Ah."

Mingwu Zhenjun nodded to Yang Feng and the other person, and glanced at Yang Feng, discovering that Yang Feng's magical power cultivation had broken through to the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm.

He then secretly used his detection technique to sense Yang Feng's physical and spiritual cultivation.

It was discovered that Yang Feng's physical and spiritual cultivation were not far from breaking through to the third-order, fourth-stage level.

"I remember that my ninth disciple broke through to the Immortal Golden Core Realm only about thirty years ago."

Normally, True Lord Mingwu would not deliberately check his disciples' cultivation levels.

Today, seeing that Yang Feng's magical power had broken through to the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm, he curiously examined it carefully.

Unexpectedly, his disciple had raised his cultivation in the three aspects of Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm and the third stage of the third rank in just thirty years.

Mingwu Zhenjun recalled his own cultivation speed at this stage when he was young.

He realized that his cultivation speed at the time was not as fast as that of his disciple.

Especially when he sensed Yang Feng's spiritual cultivation, it seemed that he was not far from breaking through to the third stage, fourth level.

This surprised and took him by surprise.

It should be understood that the cultivation of the soul is much slower than the cultivation of magic power or physical strength.

After all, magical power and physical strength can be accelerated by relying on spiritual root aptitude and the grade of the precious body.

As for improving one's spiritual cultivation, besides spending a lot of time on arduous training, the only other way is to find a way to improve one's proficiency in the cultivation techniques.

"It seems I underestimated my apprentice's talent before."

Mingwu Zhenjun realized that Yang Feng had made tremendous progress in his understanding of the true meaning of the Great Dao under his guidance over the years.

He originally thought that Yang Feng had spent most of his time comprehending the true meaning of the Great Dao over the years.

To his surprise, the other party not only grasped the true meaning of the Great Dao, but also made such rapid progress in cultivation.

"Wow, such a promising talent. If we nurture him properly, his future achievements might not be any less than mine..."

"Unfortunately, I only have about thirty years left to live."

"I suppose I won't live to see the day when my disciple achieves the Nascent Soul stage."

Mingwu Zhenjun thought to himself that he had waited for more than a thousand years and finally found a disciple whose talent was no less than his own.

However, he knew his lifespan was running out, and he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Over the years, he has cultivated his character and tried every possible method to prolong his lifespan.

However, the lifespan of cultivators is finite.

His cultivation will stop at the mid-Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime, and his lifespan will be limited to around 1,300 years.

He is over 1,330 years old this year.

Even though he had once consumed a fourth-tier longevity fruit, which extended his lifespan by a hundred years.

According to his theoretical lifespan, he could live another sixty or seventy years.

In his early years, in order to make further progress in his cultivation, he entered a secret realm to compete with others for resources, and the battle damaged his foundation.

This caused him to lose several decades of his lifespan.

Over the years, even though he has taken a lot of high-level secret medicines, he has been unable to make up for it and he is powerless to do anything about it.

Now all we can do is wait for our lifespan to end, for our bodies to die and our spirits to dissipate.

"Alas, I wonder if my three disciples will be able to protect the vast Xia Kingdom that I have painstakingly built over hundreds of years after I die."

Mingwu Zhenjun thought about the current situation between Xia Kingdom and several neighboring countries, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

As the leader of a nation, he has devoted a great deal of effort to the development and growth of the Xia Kingdom over the past few centuries.

Therefore, he also had a very deep affection for the entire Xia Kingdom.

He did not want the Xia Kingdom to be divided and annexed by other countries after his death.

Moreover, after hundreds of years of reproduction and development, he also has many descendants in the Xia Kingdom.

If the Xia Kingdom is annexed by several neighboring countries in the future, his family will certainly not escape unscathed.

However, faced with the current situation, in recent years he has tried every means to cultivate another Nascent Soul Realm cultivator for the Xia Kingdom before his lifespan ends, in order to stabilize the situation of the Xia Kingdom.

However, no other good solutions could be found.

After all, as he has gotten older over the years, his strength is no longer what it used to be.

Even if he wanted to take Nascent Soul cultivators from other nearby countries down with him before his lifespan was nearing its end, it would be difficult for him to do so.

After all, over the years, Nascent Soul cultivators from several nearby countries have known that his lifespan is nearing its end.

Although they have been sending their own country's low-level cultivators to harass and plunder some border immortal cities that border the Xia Kingdom.

However, due to his prestige, no Nascent Soul cultivator from any country dared to send a large number of Core Formation cultivators to attack and plunder their Xia Kingdom's border immortal cities.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators from several nearby countries have not dared to leave their own capital city, Immortal City, for the past one or two hundred years, for fear that he would seize the opportunity to drag them down with him.

In this situation, the Nascent Soul cultivators from several nearby countries were hiding in their own capital cities, protected by national protective formations. Even if True Monarch Mingwu wanted to kill them, he would not find an opportunity.

Therefore, True Monarch Mingwu had no choice but to find another way and planned to spend more effort to see if he could cultivate another Nascent Soul cultivator before his lifespan came to an end.

However, over the years, he has taken in several disciples who have achieved the Golden Core of Immortality.

He provided careful instruction, but the results were mediocre and far from meeting his expectations.

Although, he taught a disciple who reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, in his view, this one Nascent Soul Realm disciple alone was clearly insufficient to defend the vast territory he had painstakingly built over the past thousand years.

Unless he can cultivate another Nascent Soul cultivator before his lifespan ends.

Or perhaps his third disciple, True Monarch Beihan, could break through to the mid-Nascent Soul Realm before his lifespan ends.

However, so many years have passed.

Now, with only thirty-odd years left to live, he has still not been able to cultivate a second Nascent Soul cultivator.

As for his third disciple, True Monarch Beihan, he is now past his prime and has no hope of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm in this lifetime.

Especially when he thought about how his third disciple, True Lord Beihan, was now almost eight hundred years old.

According to the lifespan limit of a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The other party now only has a lifespan of a little over two hundred years left.

This made him feel even more helpless.

He was even a little worried that after his death, the Nascent Soul cultivators from several nearby countries might join forces to deal with his third disciple.

After all, their Xia Kingdom had grown and prospered under his leadership for over a thousand years, accumulating a great deal of precious resources.

His third apprentice is now quite old and has passed his prime.

Once the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from several nearby countries join forces...

Even if his three disciples were to retreat to the Immortal City of Kyoto and be protected by the national protective formation, they might not be able to hold out for long, given their strength.

Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario predicted by Mingwu Zhenjun.

After all, according to Mingwu Zhenjun's understanding, the Nascent Soul cultivators from the nearby countries were not of one mind.

Among them were one or two Nascent Soul cultivators, who were quite old and whose strength was no longer at its peak, and dared not easily leave their capital.

What if they were schemed against by Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from other countries, causing them to lose their lives?

Or, if they are seriously injured, their lifespan is greatly reduced, which is not worthwhile.

As long as the nearby countries don't join forces to deal with his third disciple, True Lord Beihan.

Mingwu Zhenjun believed that with the strength of his three disciples, as long as they were willing to give up those border immortal cities of their Xia Kingdom and only retain some immortal city territories near the capital immortal city, they could still allow their Xia Kingdom to survive for another two hundred years.

As for whether the Xia Kingdom will perish more than two hundred years later, after his three disciples pass away.

That depends on whether their Xia Kingdom can produce a new Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in the next two hundred years.

Originally, Mingwu Zhenjun had given up hope because he had seen that the disciples he had taken in over the past few hundred years were not doing well in their understanding of the true meaning of the Great Dao.

However, in recent decades, after taking Yang Feng as his disciple.

Seeing the progress Yang Feng had made in the true meaning of the Great Dao, as well as in his cultivation of the Dharma, body, and spirit in just thirty years, filled him with hope.

Unfortunately, he only had about thirty years left to live.

However, he will never see the day when his disciple reaches the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Hey……"

Thinking of this, True Lord Mingwu couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

He sighed inwardly, wishing Yang Feng had been born a few hundred years earlier.

That way, with his dedicated guidance, his disciple might go even further than him in the path of cultivation.
