On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

If a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator dies, the sect will not be greatly affected. With enough resources and time, these types of cultivators can always be replaced, and new ones will continually join the sect.

The sect's strength comes from training and recruiting new cultivators to fill gaps left by those who have passed away.

With a steady supply of resources, the sect can ensure that it remains strong and resilient even in the face of adversity.

Of course, when it comes to Dao Stage Powerhouse, the sect will need to take extra precautions as their loss would be much more impactful.

These cultivators are not easily replaced, and their strength and impact are crucial to the sect's success.

If the sect loses one Dao Stage cultivator, they won't sit idly and just watch.

However, if Xu Zhiyuan expects him to become a Core disciple within 5 years, it's not an impossible goal to reach.

"Hah~ at first, I wasn't going to ask you both to participate, but..." Xu Zhiyuan answered with a sigh.

Chen Tian understood Xu Zhiyuan's thoughts and knew that probably Xu Zhiyuan believed that he and Su Bingxin weren't ready since their cultivation was too low.

As for why he didn't think to choose to use the same method as the other core disciple, like Yin Yun, probably he thought that Chen Tian and Su Bingxin didn't have a good foundation.

Unlike Yin Yun and the other core disciples, they have been in the sect for much longer and have had more time to train and refine their skills.

In five years, their foundation will also be solid enough for the sect to start feeding them treasures and resources to help them advance in their cultivation.

Eventually, all that changed after Xu Zhiyuan returned to the sect and probably discovered Chen Tian and Su Bingxin cultivation levels, realizing that he had originally mistakenly underestimated both of their talents.

After witnessing Chen Tian's 10th level Sword Aura, Xu Zhiyuan's mind was now filled with thoughts about letting Chen Tian participate in the upcoming events.

No, he had to make sure that Chen Tian participated.

If Xu Zhiyuan wanted Chen Tian and Su Bingxin to become Core disciples, both of them needed to challenge other disciples in the rankings, which would take too much time.

The only way was for…

Taking the other party rank!

Chen Tian's eyes lit up as he grasped Xu Zhiyuan's plan.

There was another way for a lower disciple to rise in rank fast without the need to compete with every rank above him.

Lower-ranking disciples can't challenge higher-ranking disciples directly, but that doesn't mean that top disciples can't challenge lower-ranking ones.

Of course, it was rare for such a thing to happen, since a top-ranked disciple wouldn't gain anything even if he challenged a lower-ranked disciple and won.

Because Lian Feng was considered to be among the strongest disciples in the sect, he had always been arrogant and looked down upon those below him.

His challenge was only so he could prove his dominance and superiority, not because he had anything to gain from it, he just wanted to showcase his power and assert his status within the sect.

What better way than to challenge someone as weak as Chen Tian, whom Lian Feng thought was only a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator.

"If I win, I will obtain his rank!" Chen Tian was taken aback by Xu Zhiyuan's plan.

If he could get in the top 100, he could start challenging the top without wasting his time on those low-level cultivators.

"Kids, we can talk about this later, your match is already starting soon," Xu Zhiyuan said, his eyes filled with determination as he looked at Chen Tian and Su Bingxin.

Upon hearing Xu Zhiyuan's words, Chen Tian glanced at his disciple token and noted that the match was set to begin at 4 PM.

It was already 4:05; he was already 5 minutes late for his match.

Chen Tian quickly stood up, as he wanted to leave the room and head to the arena where his match was taking place.

"Don't worry, I will take you there myself, with me, you won't be late," Xu Zhiyuan said, which Chen Tian didn't refuse. As a Dao Emperor Expert, it wouldn't take him seconds before he reached the arena.

Chen Tian thanked Xu Zhiyuan and was about to leave, but they were quickly stopped by Duan Shu.

"Chen Tian, your spiritual Qi isn't fully recovered yet, take this."

Duan Shu handed him a grade 3 Spiritual recovery Pill to expedite the recovery process.

Chen Tian thanked Duan Shu and took the pill, feeling the effects almost immediately.

His spiritual Qi was naturally recovering while he was conversing with Xu Zhiyuan and Duan Shu.

His spiritual Qi had already recovered to 60%; by the time he entered the arena, it would likely reach 80%, sufficient to handle someone like Lian Feng.

"Husband, good luck in your match. I will be watching and cheering you on," Su Bingxin said with a smile on her face.

Chen Tian couldn't help but feel his heart warm up at his wife's words of encouragement.

He couldn't resist the urge to give his wife a quick kiss before heading out.

Regardless of his surroundings, he leaned in to kiss Su Bingxin softly, savoring the sweet and tender taste of her lips.

Su Bingxin's eyes widened in surprise, yet she melted into the kiss, wrapping her arms around her husband.

Her face was beet red with embarrassment since she knew that Xu Zhiyuan and Duan Shu were watching.

She wanted to get away at first, but she couldn't help but feel a rush of love for her husband at that moment, and it's been a while since both of them had shared such a tender moment.

As Chen Tian left with Xu Zhiyuan, Duan Shu also decided that she wanted to watch, so she took Su Bingxin along.

After knowing Chen Tian, Duan Shu realized that she started going out frequently; if it was in the past, she would stay in her Pill pavilion and wouldn't care about what was happening outside.
