章節 8: Choosing Cultivation Technique 1
Only Fang Meng remained in the hall when Fang Wang stepped forward to pay his respects to him.
"From where did you learn the Immortal Law?" Fang Meng asked, a kind and gentle smile gracing his face.
Fang Wang replied, "Grandfather, it was Zhou Xue who taught me. She has the guidance of a senior cultivator behind her. Earlier, I had heard her mention that the Fang Residence was in danger of destruction, so I sought her out, and she taught me the Ariel Sword Art, which convinced me of her words."
Establishing the image of a genius, Fang Wang aimed to solidify his newfound reputation. It was a perfect explanation for his sudden skills.
Fang Meng was momentarily stunned, gripping his cane tightly. Struggling to contain his excitement, he asked, "She said the Fang Residence was in danger of destruction, and it's only been seven days. Did you have prior knowledge of this matter, or have you only practiced for seven days?"
Fang Wang feigned hesitation before answering, "I practiced for seven days."
"Good! Good! Very good!"
Fang Meng was overwhelmed with excitement, trembling with joy. He even stood up to embrace Fang Wang, who quickly walked over to him.
"The Fang Family has a successor; we can break through this deadly situation!"
Fang Meng cried tears of joy, his old tears streaming down. Fang Wang, alarmed, had never seen his grandfather cry before.
Later, Fang Meng began to recount the past.
As a founding hero of the Great Qi Dynasty, Fang Meng possessed more knowledge than the average citizen, including information about the Cultivation World. Though cultivators were still somewhat ethereal beings to him, he was aware of their existence.
He urged Fang Wang to cultivate diligently.
Fang Meng even considered betrothing Zhou Xue to Fang Wang, thinking it would stabilize Fang Wang's path to cultivation. However, Fang Wang declined politely.
Such a notion was laughable. Zhou Xue, being a reincarnated and demonic cultivator, would not prioritize love. If she were to sever emotional ties for longevity, it would be problematic.
Moreover, having lived a second life, Fang Wang was not interested in a lifelong commitment. He desired unencumbered freedom and ease.
Before encountering cultivators, he had planned to wander the world. Now that he had discovered the path of cultivation, his desire only grew stronger. In this life, he aimed to traverse every mountain and river, witness the world's splendor, and seek the method to eternal life. He could not allow anyone to hold him back.
That night, Fang Wang and his grandfather spoke for a long time.
...
The next day at noon, while the Fang Residence was enveloped in sorrow, Southern Hills City fell into turmoil. The attack on the Fang Residence, with its significant death toll, had left the citizens under the Fang Family's protection in fear and sparked much gossip.
Fang Wang went to visit Zhou Xue.
The two maids guarding Zhou Xue's room greeted him and informed him that Zhou Xue had instructed that he could enter directly. After last night's battle, their relationship had shifted in the eyes of the Fang Residence, with some even suggesting marriage.
Fang Wang entered, closing the door behind him and sitting beside Zhou Xue's bed. She lay there, her face pale and body wrapped in bandages, appearing gravely injured. Upon hearing his footsteps, she opened her eyes and looked at him.
Instead of greeting her, Fang Wang got straight to the point, "Is it possible to take a Fang Family Disciple with us on the path to immortality? We have offended the imperial power, and even if the current commotion fades, might we face future retribution?"
Zhou Xue closed her eyes, then replied softly, "The threshold for Cultivation is extremely high; not everyone who wishes to cultivate can do so. However, I do plan to select disciples with potential this month."
Curious, Fang Wang asked, "Where are we going? Can you tell me about the way of Cultivation and the Earth Origin Spirit Treasure you mentioned?"
Zhou Xue explained, "The Cultivation World of Great Qi has Nine Great Sects, hidden deep within mountains and wondrous realms. We'll head to the Great Abyss Gate, which ranks in the top five among them and has a profound foundation. I have a way to get you into the sect."
Fang Wang listened intently, eager to learn more about Great Abyss Gate and the possibilities it offered. He was determined to practice the most profound techniques and surpass his peers, keeping up with Zhou Xue, and even aiming to exceed her.
Zhou Xue continued, "As for the Terra Genesis Soul Relic, we first need to discuss Cultivation realms. Above Qi Cultivation is the Soul Sculpting Realm. One needs to craft their own Soul Essense Relic to step into this realm. Treasures are ranked from Golden Genesis, Nocturnal Genesis, Terra Genesis and Celestial Genesis, with sub-ranks in each. I'll explain more later."
Fang Wang contemplated the potential rank of his own treasure.
After chatting for a while, Fang Wang made his request, "Could you teach me some Cultivation Techniques so I can start cultivating Spiritual Power while you recover? That way, I won't embarrass myself when we join Great Abyss Gate."
Zhou Xue agreed, saying, "Alright, I'll teach you the basic Qi Gathering Method. Your comprehension will determine if you get more advanced techniques later."
"Wait, could you teach me some more advanced Cultivation methods?" Fang Wang tentatively asked.
The basic Qi Gathering Method seemed too inferior for him.
Zhou Xue initially frowned, preparing to lecture him, but then she recalled the Sword Control Technique Fang Wang had used the previous night. His technique had already exceeded the capabilities of a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, demonstrating his exceptional talent and deserving of advanced instruction.
"Very well. Since you saved me, I'll offer you a choice of techniques. I can only give you three options.
The first is the Spring Autumn Art, an ancient technique created by a renowned cultivator from Great Qi a thousand years ago. It is known for extending lifespan and pursuing longevity. Mastering it could allow you to live for three thousand years.
The second is the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, which I obtained from an ancient secret realm. This technique allows you to absorb others' Spiritual Power, but it will shorten your lifespan and is prone to causing Heart Demons. It's a challenging path, but with my guidance, your progress would be accelerated.
The third is the Solaris Scripture, the most profound Cultivation Technique I found in the mortal world. I never fully mastered it before ascending, and its true power remains unknown to me. Even as a Mahayana Realm cultivator, I nearly died trying to master it."
Zhou Xue finished speaking with a smile, eager to see which technique Fang Wang would choose.
