THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
429: Eliminating Luck
Tao Yun fell silent. Right now, he had already entered Chu Jie's courtyard.
He sat down and thought about how to make her understand. “Is your relationship with a fellow citizen good?”
“That was good when we were kids, but.. when we met today, it seemed like there was some kind of distance between us,” Chu Jie said honestly.
“Then, when he gave you a gift, did he try to burden you?” Tao Yun asked.
"Of course not!" said Chu Jie immediately.
“Then, let me explain it to you, Young Brother Chu,” Tao Yun said. “Do you know which sect he comes from?”
“I heard it is a demon sect,” Chu Jie said.
“Yes, Heavenly Note Sect. It was an unknown sect in the southern region. It was a demon sect,” Tao Yun said. “Their strength is decent, but their sect has only been standing for decades since they flourished. On the contrary, our Bright Moon Sect is incomparable.”
“Then, in such a sect, how many spirit stones do outer sect disciples usually get?” said Tao Yun. “Sekte Heavenly Note is different from us. The disciples only became inner sect disciples after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm. Your fellow citizens reach the Foundation
The Realm Establishment recently. Probably about a year or two ago.”
“How many spirit stones did outer sect disciples obtain?” Chu Jie asked with concern.
The answer far exceeded his expectations.
Tao Yun stretched out a single slender finger. "One. The outer sect disciples there usually began their journey with one spirit stone. The number increased to twenty when they reached the early stages of the Natural Establishment Foundation. Even with twenty spirit stones a month, storing a hundred or six hundred spirit stones might take several years if he could skimp on his expenditure. Of course cultivators always need magic treasures, pills, and talismans to improve their cultivation, ”. “How many years do you think it took him to save six hundred spirit stones given the fact that he had just reached the Foundation Establishment Realm? How could he manage to save so many spirit stones?”
Chu Jie was stunned. He found it hard to believe. “I... I don't know.”
He stands. He wanted to find Chu Chuan but immediately sat back down. “I can't go. My master said I can only see it once. I have to wait until I manage to reach the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.”
He then looked towards Tao Yun. “Senior sister Tao, can you talk to her for me? I really don't know what to do.”
Jiang Hao walked around the Bright Moon Sect.
He wanted to find where the disciples of Clear Sky School were.
He wanted to see how strong Clear Sky School was. He was also curious whether Lui Xingchen would be recognized by the members of Clear Sky School. If they knew him, what would happen?
It had been almost two years since, and he had no idea about the condition of the remaining soul in his body. Without looking at Lui Xingchen, he could not judge the situation.
He spent the entire day wandering aimlessly and following Hong Yuye everywhere.
It was only at night that Hong Yuye left the Bright Moon Sect, and they returned to their inn.
“Do not disturb me for the next few days,” he said before returning to his room.
Jiang Hao did not mind. Tomorrow, he could continue selling his wares. He had extra time to make talismans and cultivate them. Currently, he had reached the middle stage of the Soul Ascension Realm. He could now learn the fourth form of the Heavenly Sword.
He could also try practicing Hong Mengs Heart Sutra technique as well. Over the next few days, Jiang Hao rarely went out of the house.
In addition to cleaning up the excess objects on him, he spent his time studying the fourth form of the Heavenly Sword and studying the other three forms he had learned before.
He also took out a nameless manual and studied it again. He gained new insights into the Light and Dust Technique.
The Bright Moon Sect was a very vast place, and he would definitely meet people he did not want to see again, such as Wan Xiu and his comrades.
On the third day selling his wares at the stall, they found him and asked if he remembered any other poems. Jiang Hao could only shake his head in defeat.
Then, they asked about his father, which made Jiang Hao feel uneasy. These senior cultivators had no sense of restraint. Jiang Hao always felt like he was being watched when he went out. He knew it was them.
To avoid it, he chose not to go out at all.
Fortunately, he had sold all of his items, so he only needed to concentrate on his cultivation.
It had been half a month, and he had mainly focused on understanding the techniques before, especially the nameless manuals. He felt he had gained a deeper understanding to control his strength.
However, compared to Xu Bai, he still had not reached his level. But there's no need to rush. He did it step by step.
In this half a month, Hong Yuye had still not come out of his room, and Jiang Hao was not sure what he was doing. On the other hand, he had managed to comprehend the fourth form of the Heavenly Sword.
This step is called “No Regrets.”
It's about advancing relentlessly and giving no room for retreat or fear.
The more fearless the user was, the greater the power unleashed by this attack.
However, using this move might result in temporary mental damage that might render the user unable to use his sword anymore.
If used without hesitation, this attack could become extremely powerful, but this was close to self-sacrifice.
Whether it was draining its user's power depended on the power unleashed by the attack. If it far exceeded the current power of the user, they might become powerless, but if used in moderation, it would not affect the user much.
“This step mainly depends on one's state of mind. It requires a mindset that risks your life to reach the greatest strength,” Jiang Hao read aloud.
However, he felt this move was no match for him.
He had never allowed himself to reach such a desperate situation.
Even in danger, he was always trying to save his strength and look for opportunities rather than face the situation head-on.
If there was no other alternative, he would use it, but he would try to avoid it as much as possible. It was less likely that he could use these moves effectively in ordinary situations.
'Maybe I can modify it and let Chu Chuan see it. Maybe it's more suitable for him.'
Chu Chuan was someone who grew stronger in every battle, and his path was not smooth at all. His unceasing state of mind was in accordance with this technique.
However, Jiang Hao had just learned this form of Heavenly Sword. Modifying it would be too challenging for him.
After storing his book, Jiang Hao headed down to eat.
At the table, there were people discussing something.
“Have you heard these rumors?” a middle-aged man whispered. Jiang Hao sipped his tea and listened to the rumors.
What rumors? a young man at the table asked.
“I heard that the reason why the Bright Moon Sect invited so many cultivators this time was for one purpose only,” the middle-aged man said carefully. He looked around before speaking again. “Said that they invited so many people to dispel the luck of those participating in the Dao Conference so that a genius disciple could achieve the Establishment of the Heavenly Dao Foundation.”
“Delivering luck? Really it?" ask a skeptical girl at the table.
"Where there is smoke there is fire. Moreover, the Bright Moon Sect had yet to respond to this rumor at all. Even if it is not true, it can still harm the luck of the cultivators, ” said the middle-aged man.
“The rumor must have been wrong. I mean... Why would the Bright Moon Sect do such a thing? The people from Clear Sky School, Mountain Sea Sword Sect, and Astronomical Academy are all here,” said a young man in disbelief.
“But could it be that they want to join forces to reap our good fortune?” the middle-aged man asked.
“I don't believe it,” said the young man.
Jiang Hao felt worried when he heard this. Rumors are starting to spread.
It's already started.
It might spread so quickly that it might affect the Dao Conference.
If it had reached that point, Shang An would have come.
He wondered how the Bright Moon Sect would handle this in the future.
