Chapter 489: Teachings - 489
Although Zhu Yi had Zhou Fan to teach him, Zhou Fan's guidance was limited due to not having a body. Zhu Yi could still see him do things, but there was no feeling. It was simply an imitation.
With the help of the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, Zhu Yi would be able to train faster with the sword, especially since Zhou Fan would still be helping him.
In addition, the Sect Master could provide him with many Spirit Stones. There was only one more thing that Zhu Yi needed.
He asked the Sect Master of the Sword Sect. "I need to fight Chaos Beasts. Can I do that here?"
He had only arrived recently and did not know much about this world.
"I suppose you can. Do you want to fight a nascent soul realm Chaos Beast?" The Sect Master responded.
"I want to fight as many of them as you can give me." Zhu Yi said.
"How does five at a time sound? Can you handle that?"
"I can. That works for me." Zhu Yi responded.
The Sect Master nodded. "Wait about five hundred years. Chaos Beasts arrive on our world once every thousand years."
Zhu Yi nodded and asked a question. "What is the strongest Chaos Beast that comes here?"
"A lesser dao creation realm Chaos Beast. It's never fun to fight. Luckily, all the intelligent ones are at the frontlines." The Sect Master said.
Zhu Yi recalled what the old man from the frost sect had said about Chaos Beasts and asked yet another question.
"Can you handle that Chaos Beast alone?"
The Sect Master shook his head. "I can barely survive alone. If we're lucky, every inner world realm cultivator of this world combined can defeat it. Sometimes, the overseer must intervene."
He did not know who or what an overseer was, but Zhu Yi decided to refrain from asking any other questions. He would learn in the future.
"Do you need to rest or are you ready to start training?" The Sect Master asked.
Zhu Yi was prepared. "I am ready."
The Sect master grabbed a branch from a tree within the courtyard. His sheath was empty.
"First show me what you know."
Zhu Yi nodded and unsheathed his sword. He first used the formless sword. The sword wave was so common it was not worth mentioning.
Zhu Yi smoothly used the formless sword a thousand times before sheathing it. The Sect Master was already amazed.
"What kind of advanced technique is this? I've rarely seen anything so incredible in all of my life!" The Sect Master exclaimed.
"I found it after falling into a hole." Zhu Yi explained.
"Incredible. That should be your strongest technique right?"
Although the Sect Master could see the formless swords, it was only because Zhu Yi's cultivation was so low. If Zhu Yi was even at the realm below his, it would be nearly impossible for him to sense them at all.
"Not quite. This one is called, "Breaking through all things."
Zhu Yi focused and held his sword. He used breaking through all things and slashed down. An unstoppable power shot out of his sword and struck the air in front of him. Although there was nothing to hit, the sword technique was clearly displayed.
This time, the Sect Master didn't even speak. Although its complexity was not high to the Sect Master due to his high realm, it was still an unfathomably strong sword technique to him.
"Where did you get this one?" He asked seriously.
"The same hole." Zhu Yi responded. He didn't know what else to say.
The Sect Master took out a talisman and spoke into it. "Go into the mortal world that birthed Chen Jie and search it in its entirety. If the celestial ice sect has anything to say about it, tell them that it is not a request, but a command."
After saying that, the Sect Master put away the talisman.
"Sorry about that. If techniques like that are on that world, then who knows what else we could find. I can help you train in either of the techniques for now. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much in the future."
It seemed that the Sect Master was thoroughly shocked.
"I want to train in the Breaking Through All Things technique." Zhu Yi said.
The Sect Master nodded and showed him using the technique. It was a mere imitation of the technique, but Zhu Yi could feel something when the Sect Master did it.
To Zhou Fan, the sect master was quite sloppy. However, he could at least give Zhu Yi a little bit of help. Only when he recovered more would he be able to help Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi learned from the Sect Master for nearly a year straight before he stopped training the sword. Although he had progressed faster due to the Sect Master, most of the credit went to Zhou Fan.
While the Sect Master taught Zhu Yi in the real world, Zhou Fan stood next to him and explained what the Sect Master was doing wrong.
It was quite comical to Zhu Yi, but he never laughed.
He respected the Sect Master.
After the year passed, Zhu Yi was ready to cultivate. He had only two requests for the Sect Master. Not to spy on him, and to provide spirit stones. The sect master gladly accepted. The next day, Zhu Yi was given a thousand top grade spirit stones. He was also told that he could ask for more at any time.
In addition to the thousand top grade spirit stones used for cultivating, he was allowed to buy anything around the Sword Sect for free.
Although he was not the Sect Master's disciple, he was the Sect Master's student. News seemed to get out that the Sect Master of the Sword Sect had accepted a student.
Besides participating in the competition in the future, the Sect Master only had one more request for Zhu Yi. Every now and then he needed to beat up some people that were jealous.
Zhu Yi agreed to this request. It was good to fight and not lose his edge.
Chapter 490: Fighting Chaos Beasts - 490
With the Sect Masters agreement that he would not spy on Zhu Yi, he could cultivate in the time bubble without worrying. Zhu Yi set up the time bubble and the array and began to cultivate. The time bubble affected time by ten times.
With ten times more Qi, Zhu Yi cultivated a hundred times faster than others.
When 200 years passed outside and 2,000 inside, Zhu Yi reached the 2nd level of the soul formation realm.
When 300 years passed in the outside world and 3,000 inside, Zhu Yu heard a knock on his door.
500 years had passed. It was time to fight Chaos Beasts. Zhu Yi stopped the time bubble and stood up.
Although his cultivation speed would seem slow for someone with unknown meridians, he could say anything to explain himself. Most likely, the sect master wouldn't end up asking questions.
Zhu Yi stepped outside and met the Sect Master. The Sect Master noticed his cultivation level, but didn't say anything. Everything would be better after fighting Chaos Beasts.
The Sect Master took out a giant sword. "We'll fly on this."
Zhu Yi nodded and stepped on the sword. They flew out of the Sect Master's residence and eventually flew above the Sword Sect.
All around, there were countless flying swords.
"The Sword Sect sends out every member to fight the Chaos Beasts every time."
Zhu Yi could guess why based on what he heard from Elder Chit.
The Sect Master held out his hand, and the now empty Sword Sect rumbled. It shrank and within a few seconds entered the Sect Master's sheath.
"Let's go." He said, his voice reaching everyone of the Sword Sect.
The flying swords of everyone in the sect suddenly glowed. They seemed to be connected by nearly invisible lines. As the sect master moved at an incredible speed, so did all of the other flying swords.
This was the reason that flying swords were the main method of transportation in the Sword Sect.
Zhu Yi could not comprehend his current speed on the Sect Masters sword, but he had gotten used to this.
Before he knew it, every member of the Sword Sect was in a large field. Similarly flying were other people away from the sword sect. There were many different colors and designs, but four colors stood out the most. Red, brown, blue, and green.
While all the other sects flew below, the members of the Sword Sect and the four elemental sects stood the highest.
Although the Sword Sect was not the only universal sect that had branches all around, only the sword sect had a branch in the four element gathering world.
There was no conversation at all in the surroundings. Everyone was silently waiting. Zhu Yi felt many gazes from both the Sword Sect and the other sects.
Still, nobody talked. After an entire day of waiting, the Sect master, the leaders of the four elemental sect, and a few others looked up.
"You're on your own. Elder Chit will make sure that you get your five at a time." The Sect Master said.
He flew up, leaving his flying sword behind. At the same time, a few others did as well. A few moments later, more and more people flew up.
In the end, the strongest people left on the planet were those at the void traversing realm.
Then, space cracked and Chaos Beasts began to pour out. Zhu Yi attacked five. Elder Chit was in space fighting and if he could fight five without an issue, then Elder Chit would not need to assist him.
Zhu Yi led five nascent soul realm Chaos Beasts away. The strongest here were soul formation realm Chaos Beasts. The void traversing realm cultivators were here to deal with them.
When they were far enough away from any others, Zhu Yi began to attack. There was no issue at all. Unless he was mobbed by thousands of self-destructing nascent soul realm Chaos Beasts, he would be completely fine. He only limited himself because Zhou Fan needed time to absorb the mist.
Five quickly died, and Zhu Yi meditated to recover. Zhou Fan absorbed the mist.
After five minutes, Zhu Yi saw five more nascent soul realm Chaos Beasts coming towards him, courtesy of Elder Chit.
Zhu Yi attacked and soon killed all five.
This time, as Zhou Fan absorbed the mist, he began to break through a recovery threshold.
Zhu Yi held his hand up. Elder Chit would not send any more. Regardless, he had done his share on the battlefield.
After a brief period of time, Zhu Yi felt a warm feeling.
Zhou Fan spoke. "You now have god rank meridians."
Zhu Yi was overjoyed. Still, he had a question.
"Wouldn't it make sense if God rank meridians were good enough for someone to reach the god realm? Why are they called God rank meridians?"
Zhu Yi's question was not unique. There was an extremely simple answer that all cultivators seemed to overlook.
"The person who named them had no idea what the future realms would be. He simply named the meridians something that sounded better than emperor. God was the next step."
Zhu Yi nodded. "The person who named them must have lived long ago."
"Indeed. He's commonly known as the Origin God. You'll learn about him in the future."
At mention of this, Zhu Yi looked at Zhou Fan. "I still can't tell how strong you were when you were alive. Even the Sect Master could not detect you. How strong were you exactly?"
Zhou Fan wasn't sure how to answer. He hadn't even named the realm he had reached at that time.
"You'll find out about that as well I assume."
When Zhu Yi saw a statue of the Origin God, he would understand. Zhu Yi nodded.
Since Zhou Fan was done, he decided to join the fight once again. More of the mist wouldn't hurt.
Since Elder Chit was no longer paying attention to him, Zhu Yi went to the main battlefield and attracted five more Nascent soul realm Chaos Beast towards him. After killing them, Zhou Fan absorbed the mist and the fight on the world was over.
In the sky, however, the fight was ongoing. It was hard to see it up there, but Zhu Yi saw flashes of light.
As he watched, someone approached him.
