Chapter 920 The Road Ahead
In the quiet room, the master and the disciple sat opposite each other.
“I didn’t expect the situation in the upper realm to be so much more complicated than that in the lower realm.
Your teacher couldn't help you at all, and instead held you back, causing you a lot of hardship over the years."
Obviously, the method of breaking the curse provided by Xuan Zhongtian was correct. After Ling Taichu woke up, his consciousness returned to normal.
But perhaps he had been sleeping for too long and his condition had not fully recovered.
Therefore, he didn't speak much, but just adjusted himself while quietly listening to Fang Xiao telling him what had happened over the years.
From the existence of the small world in front of him, to being dragged to the Demon Realm by Xuan Zhongtian, to escaping and entering the realm battlefield, and now sneaking into the Tianhuang Realm.
Even though Ling Taichu had remarkable insights, he was still shocked by the mysterious adventures and extremely dangerous crises during this period.
The little kid in the past has now become a great cultivator who has reached the Lianxu stage.
And the people Fang Xiao is dealing with now are at least the top-level masters in the realm of refining emptiness, and even the great beings like the Mahayana are involved.
Although Ling Taichu had predicted that Fang Xiao would have a bright future, he had to admit that Fang Xiao's strength, knowledge, and growth rate far exceeded his expectations.
I originally thought that my disciple was a monster.
However, he didn't expect that the monster was only at the threshold of seeing Fang Xiao.
"Master, why do you say that? Fighting against the heavens, the earth, and people is an endless joy. This is the principle you taught me.
What's more, since I am determined to climb to the top of the immortal path, everything I see along the way is scenery, and everyone I meet is a witness. Why bother?
It’s just a little bit of wind and frost.”
Fang Xiao's face showed determination. He had gained and lost along the way, but he never regretted his choices, nor did he have any doubts about his path.
Even if there is suffering, we can still find joy in it.
No matter whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, as long as it dares to come, Fang Xiao will take it on.
What doesn't defeat him will eventually make him successful.
"You are indeed a natural swordsman. It's my fault that I have narrowed my horizons and underestimated you."
"Hehe, Master's vision has never been narrow, otherwise how could he have quietly broken through to the realm of 'Sword Creates All Laws'.
I am merely taking advantage of the Hunyuan Sword Body. If we talk about natural sword cultivators, it must be Master."
When he originally came to the lower world, Fang Xiao only thought that Ling Taichu's swordsmanship was at the level of breaking all laws with his sword.
Now, whether in swordsmanship or cultivation, he has far surpassed his master, so naturally he can be discovered easily.
You should know that the sword creates all kinds of things, which even many sword practitioners in the Void Refinement stage may not be able to do, but Ling Taichu did it when he was in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation stage.
Ling Taichu was not proud of this, but just shook his head helplessly.
"My boy, this is just a result of my accumulated experience. It's nothing."
Fang Xiao naturally understood that although Ling Taichu had extraordinary comprehension, he did not have the physique for swordsmanship. To achieve such an achievement, in addition to his sincere heart for swordsmanship, daily efforts were also indispensable.
Then he skipped this topic and asked about Ling Taichu's future path of cultivation.
“Disciple remembers that Master’s cultivation method had no further development after reaching the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
Although the higher you go, the less you rely on martial arts, and more emphasis is placed on controlling the power of the Tao.
But at least in the Lianxu stage and even the Fusion stage, one still needs some guidance from the techniques."
"I wonder if Master intends to explore the future on his own, or switch to practicing other techniques.
If we talk about the path that suits you, it is the path of wood or sword. Specializing in one or practicing both has its advantages and disadvantages.
Master now only needs to practice step by step to reach the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Advancing to the Void Refinement Realm is only a matter of time, so we need to make plans early.
If you plan to change your cultivation method, I will try my best to find a suitable method for you."
But at this point, Fang Xiao himself couldn't help but pause.
Speaking of martial arts, isn't he currently going to obtain the sword cultivation inheritance from Tianjian Mountain?
Although he didn't know the specific content of this inherited martial arts technique, it was enough for him to be able to challenge the world with his sword and be known as invincible among his peers.
And if he could get it, it would be perfect to let Ling Taichu switch to practicing this technique.
After all, before entering the realm of refining emptiness, the three paths of essence, energy and spirit were not so clearly distinguished.
After refining the void, one just has to choose one of the three paths of essence, energy and spirit, and refine it into the Dao track or the projection of the Dao track.
There is no distinction between the three paths, and all of them can help one overcome tribulations and hopefully ascend to become an immortal.
Therefore, Ling Taichu, who has not yet advanced to the Lianxu stage, is fully qualified to change to the path of martial arts.
It’s just a pity for Jianmu Dharma Image.
Even if it can be preserved after condensing the martial soul, without the subsequent support of the power of the Dao, its power will be greatly reduced, and it will gradually fail to keep up and become a vassal, and will eventually be completely abandoned.
"This matter is of great importance, and I, the Master, will need some time to consider it.
Fortunately, I have just recently been promoted to the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. It will take quite some time to reach the peak, but there is no need to rush."
"Master, don't worry about this. I've just thought of a good inheritance, and I should be able to get it soon.
Whether or not you can change your cultivation at that time depends entirely on Master’s will.
For now, you can just cultivate peacefully in this little world."
Fang Xiao has absolute confidence in obtaining the inheritance of Tianjian Mountain, but he doesn't know whether there will be any restrictions, and it cannot be passed on to others at will, or whether it is simply not suitable for Ling Taichu to practice.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to tell Yu Ling Taichu about it before he got it.
If it is really not suitable, then it will depend on what Ling Taichu chooses.
If you still want to switch to practicing other skills, Fang Xiao will also try his best to collect them outside.
And if you want to create your own martial arts, the Nine Revolutions Hunyuan Tiangong, which embodies the essence of swordsmanship, is the most suitable reference blueprint.
Ling Taichu did not refuse Fang Xiao's offer for reasons of self-esteem or face.
Fang Xiao was able to catch up and surpass his master. The gap between the two will only get bigger and bigger in the future. If he can't adjust his mindset, he will probably be so inferior that he won't even dare to see his master in the future.
Afterwards, Ling Taichu was taken away from the big star of "Earthly Immortal Realm" by Fang Xiao.
Of course, he did not leave the small world, but came to the auxiliary star that contained spiritual energy.
You must know that the 'Earthly Immortal Realm' contains the energy of all sources.
Although Fang Xiao has not found any drawbacks after verifying it himself, he feels that this may be related to his own Hunyuan attributes.
At least for now, he didn't dare let his master rashly absorb this power.
It would be safer to continue using Reiki.
As for the cultivation resources Ling Taichu needs, whether it is spiritual wine or spiritual pills, Fang Xiao can supply them in unlimited quantities.
I believe that before arriving at the Yao clan’s territory in Dongyuan Domain, I will be able to help Ling Taichu cultivate to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
By then, even if you choose to switch to martial arts, it should be of some help.
