Chapter 787: Chapter 737: Firm Belief
“Yes, I am currently trying to focus on cultivating the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill and wish to form the Golden Core,” Pang Hong confessed.
As Pei Xuanjing’s disciple, currently the freshly promoted top powerhouse’s only disciple, the resources he receives for his cultivation are beyond comparison even to the most elite forces borne out of supreme clans.
Pang Hong was initially an ordinary man, or rather a dull-witted mortal. However, his greatest fortune was encountering Pei Xuanjing. With such a mentor, his prospects surpassed many others.
Starting his practices as a mortal martial artist, Pang Hong’s aptitudes improved when he broke through the Mortal Realm at the Third-grade level, changing his fate. Although it fell short compared to the exceptional individuals, it was above average.
If that was all there was to it, even if Pang Hong had broken through the Spirit Realm, his original aptitude wouldn’t have allowed him to advance much further.
But he had a good mentor. When Pang Hong broke through to the Spirit Realm, his mentor did everything possible to improve his aptitude. As Pei Xuanjing’s strength increased, he poured immense efforts into nurturing his disciple, thus affording him an aptitude unexcelled among some geniuses.
After all, enhancing one’s cultivation aptitude is extremely difficult, even for the strongest. If it wasn’t for the fact that Pei Xuanjing only had one disciple, he wouldn’t have expended so much effort on this.
What truly caused Pang Hong’s aptitude to transform was the time he entered the Longevity World for cultivation when Pei Xuanjing opened up the Small Thousand World.
Generally, when people enter the Longevity World for cultivation, they can only reach enlightenment through their abilities, gaining some opportunities from the Longevity World. However, when Pang Hong entered, Pei Xuanjing personally helped him undergo transformation, even sacrificing some of the World Origin of the Longevity World to greatly elevate Pang Hong’s aptitude to the top.
It can be said that after Pei Xuanjing’s hard work training him, now that Pang Hong has stepped into the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm, his path has been unobstructed, and the Spirit Realm Eightfold is also a possibility. As for the Nine Realms of Spirit, the Strongest Realm, Pei Xuanjing could do nothing to help. It was all up to his own fate now.
Even so, with his luck and opportunities, if word got out, countless cultivators would be envious, wishing they could be in his stead. Even the top geniuses of the top forces, who receive extensive training from their sect, would not receive such a cost-no-object advancement. After all, they have other competitors with whom they must share.
Even the prodigies among the top forces, who haven’t yet truly stepped into the Eightfold Spirit Realm, dare not claim they could easily reach this step.
However, for Pang Hong, his goal was not that. If this was his previous situation, with his aptitude, he could only go this far, and he would not have great ambitions.
But now that his aptitude is sufficient to support him in going to higher places, Pang Hong naturally doesn’t want to stand still.
“Previously, I couldn’t keep up with my mentor’s pace, and could only silently watch his back, doing what I could to help him. But now that I have this chance to reach the peak, I need to seize it and not let this opportunity pass,” Pang Hong thought.
To him, from the moment he was accepted by Pei Xuanjing, he was determined to repay his mentor, doing all he could to lighten his mentor’s worries.
He originally thought that with his aptitude, he could reach where he was today; he couldn’t fight side by side with his mentor to face enemies, but he could handle some other matters to relieve his mentor’s worries.
Now that he has the chance to reach the peak, he definitely wants to follow in the footsteps of his mentor Pei Xuanjing, never to rest.
With such thoughts in his mind, he made a decision: to change his cultivation to the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill, to embark on the path of the Golden Core Dao, to become even stronger, to do more for his mentor.
Because he has been trying to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill and form the Golden Core over the years, his cultivation has slowed down, and he has not yet reached the level that Pei Xuanjing anticipated.
This is quite understandable. After all, he is not Pei Xuanjing, without the aid of a simulator. Even though Pei Xuanjing’s Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill has been perfected and the process of exploration has been skipped, it is still not easy to focus on cultivating the Golden Core Dao.
The Golden Core Dao is now a major path in heaven and earth, especially after Pei Xuanjing, the strongest powerhouse, pursued the Golden Core Dao, drawing the pursuit of countless people.
However, even though Pei Xuanjing has generously made the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill available to all cultivators in the Taoist Academy’s contribution system to attempt cultivation, over these years, there have been very few practitioners who have made any advances.
The balance of essence, energy, and spirit, the interdependence and joint progress, indeed provide strong combat power, but they also make the practice incredibly slow. Even if many cultivators from the Taoist School have a solid foundation, attempting to focus on it is very difficult.
Nevertheless, although this delayed his cultivation and Pei Xuanjing misunderstood him as not devoting himself to practice, Pang Hong made no attempt to explain.
“Oh, why do this?”, sighed Pei Xuanjing, shaking his head.
The power of the Golden Core Dao goes without saying, but this potent Dao is difficult to cultivate. He himself went through countless attempts and errors initially. Even if he had the aid of a simulator, even with enough theory to form a Golden Core would be difficult, let alone Pang Hong.
Pang Hong originally cultivated the orthodox direct inheritance method of the Shenxiao Sect, which was derived from all the martial arts books Pei Xuanjing obtained from the Shenxiao Sect. Although it only reaches the eighth level of the Spirit Realm, if Pang Hong could reach this step in the future and refine the Innate Divine Thunder with the help of Pei Xuanjing, he might have the chance to step into the strongest realm.
It can be said that Pei Xuanjing has already paved the way for Pang Hong, and this path is much easier than cultivating the Golden Core Dao.
“But I still want to cultivate the Golden Core Dao,” Pang Hong insisted.
He understood his master’s intention, but as a direct disciple of his master, he wanted to follow his master’s path and inherit his master’s mantle.
“Very well, let me let you try, if you fail, just give up!” Pei Xuanjing thought for a moment and said.
His disciple was so determined, how could he stop him? After all, what he simply thinks is good for him may not be the best.
No matter what, let him try, even if he fails, with Pei Xuanjing around, it won’t affect anything and there’s plenty of opportunity for compensation.
“Thank you, master, for allowing me,” Pang Hong said excitedly.
Pei Xuanjing smiled and said, “Well, since that’s the case, you should delegate your duties to others first, and follow me to a place where it’s most conducive to your cultivation.”
He was thinking about the Small Thousand World he opened up. In that world, his control would greatly exceed what he has now, and he would be able to help him. Even if it fails, there is a chance to make up for it.
“I understand,” Pang Hong nodded in agreement.
Next, Pang Hong immediately handed over some of his duties and followed Pei Xuanjing into the Longevity World.
