No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?

Qingzhou.

At a crimson altar.

Daoist Xu Xuan and Xia Qian were still nowhere to be found and there was a large, pitch-black cocoon in their place.

The large cocoon was suspended in the void with lotus flower patterns appearing on it vaguely. It seemed to be a black lotus.

In the black cocoon, Daoist Xu Xuan knew that he had already failed.

As he incorporated Xia Qian into his body, Xia Qian transformed into a black lotus, making Daoist Xu Xuan’s efforts go in vain as he couldn’t cause any harm to the black lotus at all.

He even ended up being devoured and digested by the black lotus.

Daoist Xu Xuan was powerless and could only let everything about himself, his cultivation level, his Dharmic powers, and his memories, turn into nutrients for the black lotus.

At this moment, a smiling Daoist Tai Hua surfaced in his mind.

It was the smile Daoist Tai Hua had when his divination showed “Ominous”.

At that time, he was puzzled.

He wondered why Daoist Tai Hua could smile even after his divination showed ominous signs.

Now, he finally understood.

It was because the divination was not for Daoist Tai Hua himself, but for Daoist Xu Xuan.

Time passed bit by bit.

The lotus flower vein on the big black cocoon gradually became dim as it stopped glowing.

At this moment, there were some sounds.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The large cocoon began to shatter.

Boom!

Xia Qian stepped out of the large cocoon, looking much different from before. Now, there was a significant resemblance between him and Daoist Xu Xuan.

At the same time, there was a black lotus mark in the middle of his forehead between his brows, which was emitting a terrifying, hair-raising aura.

“Is this your obsession? You became my nutrients and a part of my body. Once I’m revived, your dream of becoming an immortal will be fulfilled too.”

Xia Qian spoke while touching his face with his palm.

That was the situation that arose after Xia Qian had completely absorbed Daoist Xu Xuan as nutrients.

“Even though I’m already at the Mahayana realm now, I still don’t have a 100% chance of winning against Su Changyu.”

“The only way to kill Su Changyu is to complete the revival.”

Xia Qian felt the Sword Qi surging in his body and he muttered with a calm expression.

He had gotten rid of most of the Sword Qi that Su Changyu had left in his body.

If it wasn’t for that Sword Qi, his strength would have been at least another 20% higher this time.

However, it was only normal to gain some and lose some in life. He could roughly gauge Su Changyu’s strength based on the Sword Qi.

‘I can make a trip to the Fiendcelestial Cult and use them to gather the four great cults. At the same time, I can also get twice the result with half the effort using the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner, Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram, and Ten Thousand Fiend Banner.”

While thinking to himself, Xia Qian vanished above the altar.

In the Dragon Palace of the East Ocean.

Dragon Transformation Pool.

Nine Golden Cores were rotating rapidly above the nine-colored lotus flower in Ye Ping’s dantian.

With the energy of the Dragon Transformation Pool, Ye Ping broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

After such a long time, he finally comprehended the cultivation method of the Nascent Soul Great Do and managed to metamorphose after turning the nine Golden Cores into one.

The nine Golden Cores fused and emitted endless light. Finally, a purple infant effigy appeared, surrounded by wisps of mysterious aura.

At this moment, Ye Ping stepped into the Nascent Soul realm.

However, his Nascent Soul was not perfect yet because it was still metamorphosing.

The purple effigy sat on the nine-colored lotus platform, seemingly swallowing and absorbing the power in the Dragon Transformation Pool. The golden liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool was depleted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The mysterious aura around the purple Nascent Soul was getting richer and richer before eventually turning into the Qi of the Great Dao.

The nine-colored lotus platform he sat on also began to change into a Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams.

It was exactly the same as the Nascent Soul perfection method that Su Changyu told him about.

The Great Dao Nascent Soul.

At the same time, Ye Ping’s physical body was also improving and metamorphosing during this process.

Every inch of skin, flesh and blood of his body, as well as his internal organs, were all glistening and being raised to a higher notch.

At this moment, his Ancient Godfiend Body had also reached the late stage of the Great Godfiend body.

However, Ye Ping had also digested every single drop of the liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool.

“Eldest Senior Brother told me to improve my cultivation level, and not only has he given me the Nascent Soul realm perfection method, he also gave me the Essence Soul realm perfection method.”

“This means that Eldest Senior Brother wants me to cultivate to the Essence Soul realm before leaving, but now that the Dragon Transformation Pool has been depleted, how am I supposed to do that?”

Ye Ping got up from the Dragon Transformation Pool and frowned while muttering to himself under his breath.

He was bewildered.

‘Eldest Senior Brother could obviously tell that the energy in this Dragon Transformation Pool will not be sufficient to support me until I break through the Essence Soul realm.’

However, Su Changyu nevertheless told him about the methods to perfect the Nascent Soul and Essence Soul realms.

At this point, Ye Ping looked at the treasures in the hall and came to a sudden realization.

“I get it, I understand it now.”

Ye Ping had excitement written all over his face.

‘I’ve been living in the presence of so many treasures, but I still had no idea.’

Apart from the Dragon Transformation Pool, there were many other treasures in this hall that were of infinite value.

He also had a supreme Dharmic Dao.

Omnipotent Wealth.

With the Heavenly Dao altar, anything of value could be used as a sacrifice to the heavens in exchange for what he wanted.

Ye Ping immediately looked at the treasures in the hall while thinking about the Heavenly Dao Altar.

An old and ancient altar appeared.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Ping put the treasures in the hall onto the Heavenly Dao Altar.

At the same time, in the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Wang Zhuoyu returned to the Qingyun Dao Sect, only to see that Gu Jianxian and Da Xu were the only ones around. He then asked them about the situation.

Da Xu then told Wang Zhuoyu everything that happened to the Qingyun Dao Sect and Daoist Tai Hua.

Wang Zhuoyu immediately fell silent while his eyes turned red, at a complete loss for words.

He didn’t expect that to be the reason that he was sent away from the Qingyun Dao Sect through the Teleportation Array that day.

His initial joy turned into misery.

Soon after, Xue Zhuan and Lin Bei also returned to the Qingyun Dao Sect and found out about this matter.

They were also orphans who were raised by Daoist Tai Hua.

The Qingyun Dao Sect might just be a small sect where the living conditions were mediocre.

However, Daoist Tai Hua treated each of them very well and he was just like their father.

Now that they learned the news, they couldn’t help but be devastated and burst into tears of misery.

Afterwards, some people from the Heavenly Supervisory came to inform them that the great tribulation was about to occur, and they invited them to go to the Heavenly Supervisory where they could seek shelter.

However, the three of them turned down the invitation.

Su Changyu had now become a Supreme Sword Immortal, but he had to leave the Qingyun Dao Sect because of something important.

Xiao Muxue was rarely present in the sect to begin with. They had also found out that Xiao Muxue was a big shot of the Heavenly Supervisory and could not return to the sect.

Under such circumstances, the Qingyun Dao Sect would probably cease if they left to seek refuge at the Heavenly Supervisory too.

They chose to turn down the invitation.

In the headquarters of the Heavenly Supervisory.

Xiao Muxue looked at the sky quietly.

It had been a month.

During this period of time, the Heavenly Supervisory and the five dynasties had been searching for clues of Xia Qian in the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, they hadn’t obtained any clues.

At the same time, Xiao Muxue sent some people to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, but she still did not find any information about Su Changyu and Ye Ping.

Everything was peaceful at this moment.

She knew that this was the calm before the storm.

At this moment, a figure slowly appeared.

Upon sight of the figure, Xiao Muxue asked eagerly, “Do you have news?”

“According to the news, the Demon Seed was found to have appeared in the Fiendcelestial Cult and taken away the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner, the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram, and the All-Immortal Devourer!”

The figure immediately reported.

“Ten Thousand Fiend Banner, the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram, and the All-Immortal Devourer.”

Xiao Muxue was shocked to hear those words.

There were three major immortal artifacts in the Fiendcelestial Cult, namely the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner, the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram, and the All-Immortal Devourer. Legend had it that they were produced by the first-generation sect master of the Fiendcelestial Cult who had created them after refining all the fiends in the world.

However, as a senior executive of the Heavenly Supervisory, Xiao Muxue naturally knew of the secrets.

The first-generation leader of the Fiendcelestial Cult was the Fiendcelestial and those three treasures were Dharma treasures of the Fiendcelestial.

However, they were destroyed together with the Fiendcelestial by the powerhouses of the world.

For numerous years, the Fiendcelestial Cult had been refining the replicas of those three immortal artifacts and created semi-finished products.

If those three treasures landed in Xia Qian’s hands, the consequences would be very serious.

At this moment, Xiao Muxue felt some fluctuations as she looked in the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty.

There were countless hideous Heavenly Fiends on the ancient diagram, which was appearing in the sky above the Great Xia Dynasty. They started spreading rapidly, covering the sun and engulfing the Ten Nations.

“It’s the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram!”

Even though it was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, Xiao Muxue could tell at a glance that it was the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram.

“It’s Xia Qian, he is trying to envelop the entire Ten Nations with the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram and turn it into a region of fiends using the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner. At the same time, he wants to sacrifice countless living beings to complete his own revival!”

Xiao Muxue guessed Xia Qian’s purpose and her face was a little sullen.

As the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram appeared, a layer of black clouds seemed to have appeared in the sky above the Ten Nations too, making everyone feel anxious and uneasy.

Many powerhouses were astonished to see the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram.

The sudden appearance of the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram was very terrifying.

Many people fled quickly in a bid to leave the Ten Nations, but the heaven and earth here had already been locked while the Teleportation Array had already lost its effects too.

“Gather all powerhouses and head straight to the Great Xia Dynasty!”

“Xia Qian must be the reason that the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram appeared today. We must break the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram and kill Xia Qian as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Xia Qian revives, there will be endless trouble.”

Xiao Muxue did not hesitate to make her decision.

At the same time…

Su Changyu rode the Qilin to a divine mountain.

It was called the Longevity Mountain where traces of immortals appeared two decades ago, and rumors about an immortal appearing in the mountain began to spread.

“I can go there on my own now. Aotian, go back and look for Lingrou. Bring this letter to her.”

Su Changyu got off the Qilin, looked in the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty, and instructed.

“Yes.”

Hearing Su Changyu’s words, Gu Aotian didn’t say anything else and simply left to look for Chen Lingrou with the letter.

Afterwards, Su Changyu entered the Longevity Mountain.

When he arrived at the depths of the Longevity Mountain, he saw a Green Lotus that stood tall, which was very similar to the Green Lotus in Su Changyu’s essence soul.

Two decades ago, the rumors that spread about the birth of an immortal in the Longevity Mountain were untrue.

Rather, the heaven and earth vitality was in the Longevity Mountain.

The Green Lotus was created with the chance of life of heaven and earth.

After obtaining the willpower of heaven and earth from the Immortal Slayer King, Su Changyu knew that in the battle between Yin and Yang, the black lotus was stronger than the green lotus. Lotus seeds were about to appear in the black lotus.

The Green Lotus lacked nutrients in the first place and two lotus seeds were still being bred.

Faced with this situation, Su Changyu chose to give one of the lotus seeds of the Green Lotus to Ye Ping and came back here to use the Green Lotus transformed from the vitality of Heaven and Earth to strengthen his Green Lotus.

Su Changyu immediately walked towards the Green Lotus.

His essence soul and luck were on the jade stone. The Green Lotus began to sway and he started drawing the vitality of the Green Lotus in front of him.

The lotus seed on the green lotus on his essence soul platform was also getting more and more solid.
