Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 306 I cultivate alongside the master?

Although Wu Zetian seems simple now, not even a celestial being, Di Xiao is certain that she possesses immense potential. He just doesn't know how to unleash that potential.

Of course, Emperor Xiao also thought of Wu Meiniang's ruthlessness, and couldn't help but feel wary.

After thinking it over, Di Xiao couldn't help but smile: "Why am I thinking so much? No matter how much potential or how ruthless Wu Zetian is in the Journey to the West world, she is just a maid in my Duke's mansion now. Moreover, without experiencing so much hardship, Wu Zetian may not become the ruthless empress of my memories."

"Moreover, with my talent, I will surely grow to surpass Wu Zetian and suppress her in the future. In that case, it would be better to cultivate Wu Zetian, so that she can become my subordinate or my woman in the future, which would be the best choice."

"Especially since Wu Zetian is extremely young now, if I nurture her with my will, I can raise a well-behaved and sensible Wu Zetian. Even if this process diminishes some of Wu Zetian's potential, making her less powerful than I remember, that will be enough."

Yes, Wu Zetian is like a blank sheet of paper now. Emperor Xiao can take this opportunity to shape her into his own image.

Di Xiao smiled, feeling a surge of amusement. After all, conquering a future empress was quite an accomplishment.

"For now, I'll focus on cultivation. After I finish cultivating, I'll consider how to nurture Wu Meiniang for a long time!" Di Xiao stretched his body and began to cultivate. This time, Di Xiao needed to digest and comprehend the inheritance he received from Tathagata, transforming it into his own.

With this in mind, Di Xiao also began to concentrate on comprehending the inheritance.

[Your extraordinary comprehension allows you to quickly comprehend the supernatural powers: Five Elements Sword Technique, Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, Five Elements Great Handprint...]

[From your many insights, you suddenly realize that while these Buddhist supernatural powers seem to bear many Buddhist traces, their essence and traces actually contain many methods of the Jie Sect. Although you haven't practiced the Jie Sect's methods, you have read its scriptures. You see the shadow of the Jie Sect's methods in these supernatural powers. Your mind is shaken, and you begin to eliminate the Buddhist traces from these Buddhist supernatural powers.]

Ultimately, you obtained the Jiejiao Divine Powers: the Great Five Elements Sword Technique, the Five Elements Heaven-Covering Seal, and the One-Handed Heaven-Covering Technique... Having comprehended so many Jiejiao Divine Powers, your eyes darted around, filled with countless emotions.

[Subsequently, you begin to comprehend the fundamental teachings of the Tathagata you have acquired: the Nirvana Sutra, the Body of Vairocana Buddha, and the Sutra of Many Treasures Buddha. These three methods of cultivation represent the fundamental teachings of the three incarnations of the Tathagata. However, as you comprehend them, you also discover that these three fundamental teachings contain traces of many methods from the Jie Sect, as well as some seemingly plausible but ultimately incorrect elements.]

[By relying on your enlightenment, you removed the parts containing Buddhist elements, thereby obtaining three cultivation methods: the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, the Great Sun Golden Crow Body, and the Lingbao Sutra!]

[The three cultivation methods are: the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, which is actually the cultivation method of the Phoenix Clan; the Great Sun Golden Crow Body, which is the body-refining method created by the ancient Emperor Jun; and the Spiritual Treasure Scripture, which is the cultivation method of the Jie Sect.]

With this realization, Di Xiao exclaimed, "Wow!"

Di Xiao frowned, tapping his fingers together. The three cultivation methods he sensed were quite peculiar: "What exactly is going on? How could Tathagata have specially imprinted such a unique inheritance on me? By simply removing parts of Buddhism, I obtained these entirely new cultivation methods. They not only include those of the Phoenix Clan and the Golden Crow Clan, but also those of the Jie Sect."

"Especially since it's too easy for me to edit. Although I have extraordinary comprehension and can easily discern the true meaning in the scriptures, the wisdom and cultivation of the Buddha, the cultivation method he created, even if it evolved from the methods of other races, would inevitably be perfectly integrated with the cultivation method and perfectly transformed into the Buddhist method. Editing it would be very difficult."

"But the method of inheritance I have now seems to be a newly integrated Buddhist method, or perhaps an nascent cultivation method. The true meaning of the scriptures is not fully integrated, so it can be deleted at will."

"But that's strange. Why did the Tathagata go to so much trouble to create these lineages? Could it be that he's using Buddhism as a front to transmit the teachings of the Intercepting Sect to me? Strange..."

Di Xiao couldn't understand it, but upon closer thought, he gasped in shock: "Could it be that Tathagata is secretly plotting to make me cultivate the methods of the Jie Sect, so that I might join the Jie Sect in the future? If this guess is true, wouldn't that mean that Tathagata is physically in Buddhism, but his heart is in the Jie Sect!"

Good heavens, Di Xiao felt as if he had discovered some enormous secret. Of course, these were just guesses. Who knew if a scheming person like Tathagata had a special purpose in doing this?

Di Xiao pondered for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an answer: "Forget it, what's the point of thinking so much? Let's cultivate!"

With these thoughts in mind, Di Xiao also began cultivating. He circulated the Myriad Paths Transformation Battle Scripture that he had created. He also cultivated the Great Sun Golden Crow Body to temper his physical body, while also comprehending other techniques and supernatural abilities.

Unfortunately, the inheritance that Di Xiao received from the Buddha was extremely complete and profound. Even with Di Xiao's current wisdom, it would be difficult for him to create new methods based on it. After all, Di Xiao's current accumulated knowledge is still too limited.

Di Xiao murmured to himself and continued his cultivation.

After years of cultivation, Di Xiao's cultivation level advanced further. He reached the Xuanxian realm, and was only one step away from the Jinxian realm.

After cultivating to this level, Di Xiao stopped and then left the secluded cultivation place.

"Congratulations, Master, on the completion of your seclusion! Your cultivation has greatly increased!" Wu Meiniang had been guarding the seclusion site, waiting for Di Xiao to emerge. Upon seeing Di Xiao, she showed him the utmost respect.

Di Xiao nodded, his body stirring with excitement. He looked at Wu Meiniang and smiled, "You're quite good. Taking advantage of the abundant spiritual energy here, you've cultivated the second level of the Defilement Severing Technique to perfection. It seems your aptitude is truly exceptional!"

"I am grateful for your kindness, Master, that I have achieved such cultivation!" Wu Meiniang naturally understood that watching over Di Xiao's cultivation was an opportunity for her.

"No need for formalities." Di Xiao smiled, his expression gradually becoming serious. "Mei Niang, you have good aptitude. From now on, you will cultivate with me."

"I'll cultivate alongside the master?"

Wu Meiniang was startled by the sudden words. Based on what she had seen and heard, she only thought of herself as an unloved concubine's daughter of a duke, bullied by her own brother, and eventually sent to the palace to become a maid.

Then, by chance, she encountered Di Xiao, a newly promoted Marquis of Wisdom, who was bestowed upon her by the palace, and came to the Marquis of Wisdom's residence. Subsequently, she was valued by the Marquis Di Xiao and became the head maid in the residence.

For this, Wu Meiniang felt incredibly lucky. But now, she was being arranged by Emperor Xiao to cultivate alongside him. This was truly an immense blessing.
