Very reasonable cultivation

"Hmm! Such speed! No wonder they arrived so early. However, whose senior or junior brother's disciple is this? How come we haven't heard of such methods? It seems we have to keep a close eye on this place to prevent others from breaking in again." The middle-aged elder muttered to himself as he looked at the direction where Tian Zhen and the other two left, then turned into a ball of light and left the place.

A hundred miles away, Tian Zhen and Da Zhuang set up camp, which was just a few square houses as temporary residence.

Dazhuang continued to practice his lightspeed engine ability, it seemed he had a special liking for it, while Tian Zhen was busy drawing blueprints and assembling some fun "toys" with parts.

Two nights later, Da Zhuang became arrogant and wanted to use the light speed engine to fight with him.

"Huh?" Tian Zhen was surprised. "What do you mean? I figured this thing out bit by bit. I know its advantages and disadvantages very well."

As expected, Tian Zhen threw him far away in a few hits, making him dizzy. If he hadn't woken up in time and restarted the light speed engine, he would have been beaten black and blue.

I don't know if this was all planned by Tian Zhen. But Da Zhuang still refused to accept it, and only after being pushed to the ground and rubbed did he realize the truth.

So he asked, "Why was the light speed engine I was using interrupted so easily by you?"

"The operation of the light speed engine requires the soul as a springboard. It can replenish essence from the outside world and then transform the soul, thus achieving a cycle, but the strength of your soul remains the same." Tian Zhen explained slowly.

"Will the light speed engine operated by a strong soul be even stronger?" Da Zhuang was still a little confused about this.

Tian Zhen chuckled, his figure floated up, slowly drifting towards the sky, and said with a smile: "Da Zhuang, if you want to know the difference between the light speed engines operated by the strong and weak souls, then take a look!"

That day, Dazhuang saw the second sun.

Although the light was fleeting, it attracted the attention of the middle-aged elder. He also came here in a moment. Below were the two little kids from last time, but there was nothing unusual around, except for the house made of blocks.

Then he came forward and asked, "Children, have you seen the flash here?"

Dazhuang couldn't open his eyes and was crying.

Only Tian Zhen could answer. Seeing that the middle-aged elder was so polite, Tian Zhen was not a person who would care about things, so he said, "I am dissatisfied with the elder. We are just practicing magic."

"Oh? What kind of magic can cause such a flash of light?" the middle-aged elder asked curiously.

Huh? Are you still going to dig deeper? Tian Zhen wasn't going to let him down. He simply perfunctorily controlled the universal storage device and fired a flare into the sky. A dot of light rose into the sky, and when it reached a certain height, it suddenly released a light so bright that it almost blinded the eyes. The surrounding area was instantly illuminated as bright as day.

The middle-aged elder narrowed his eyes. The light was quite dazzling, but it was not the same light he had seen before. It seemed that I had scolded him before, and this kid had a grudge against me.

"Okay, don't make too much noise here, and rest early." After saying that, the middle-aged elder turned into a ball of light and flew away from here.

This elder didn't seem so bad, and Tian Zhen had a different opinion of him.

Seeing the people leave, Da Zhuang finally calmed down, his eyes almost shining like Tian Zhen's, he asked excitedly: "Can I reach that level?"

"Hahaha, practice is the right thing!" Tian Zhen laughed heartily. Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, how does it compare to the past? Back then, Tian Zhen also envied Da Zhuang's talent, but now it was Da Zhuang who was lagging behind.

This proves that it's easier to follow your own path. Da Zhuang, on the other hand, learned from the book and cultivated similarly, but his own understanding was actually constrained. Tian Zhen couldn't help him, so he could only draw a circle and let Da Zhuang fill it according to his own understanding, just like asking him to learn the light speed engine.

The difference between the two is that the book draws a circle with cognition and then lets Dazhuang’s cognition fill in the circle of cognition, while Tian Zhen does the opposite, drawing a circle with the changes of the Great Dao and then letting Dazhuang’s cognition fill in the circle of change.

Anyway, Tian Zhen believed that he had found a way to connect everyone's cognition.

In the following time, Dazhuang was shining all over as he hit the red-hot metal. Circles of glowing energy particles spread out with every strike. It seemed that he was getting more and more excited, and no one knew what he could produce.

Tian Zhen first controlled several universal storage devices to walk around, and after confirming that they were safe, he deployed them around. Then he controlled one to go high up in the sky, looked at the two stone pillars, and observed secretly. However, Tian Zhen did nothing honestly, because he was really afraid of interfering with their operation. He still had to listen to the elders' words.

Just observe its movement trajectory and the inscriptions on the pillars. As for the inscriptions, copy them down and see what use they will have later. Even if you copy them in vain, you can keep them as a souvenir.

Within half a month, people arrived here one after another, and set up camp in other places and waited. Tian Zhen also took back the extra universal storage devices. The closer the time for the secret realm to open, the more people came.

Because there were so many people, Da Zhuang stopped working as a blacksmith because he was sued for disturbing others.

Not to mention what happened afterwards, he also met a few people he had seen before. The first one was Ye Ping, the swordsman who had fought with Da Zhuang.

He came here alone and it seemed that he had already established his foundation. As soon as he came, he saw Da Zhuang. There was nothing he could do because Tian Zhen's cube house was too conspicuous.

As soon as this guy came over, he asked, "Okay, Fellow Daoist Tian, can we go together?"

"Ah?" Tian Zhen and Da Zhuang.

Seeing that he was indeed alone and had fought with him before, Da Zhuang reluctantly agreed.

But if you say he is outgoing, he will find a tree to lean against and remain silent. If you say he is friendly, he will dare to hang out with people he has met once. It's really contradictory.

In order not to appear to be discriminating or favoring one over the other, Tian Zhen also built a temporary cube house for him.

That night, the second person he had seen also arrived. It was Yu Ling'er, who was learning magic with Tian Zhen, and her senior sister. Tian Zhen wanted to pretend not to see them, but he didn't expect the little girl to come over dragging her senior sister.

"Mr. Tian!" He started shouting before he even landed on the ground.

"Ah?" Tian Zhen and Da Zhuang.

Yu Ling'er was the one who was truly outgoing and approachable, dragging her senior sister along to introduce herself to them. Her senior sister couldn't outdo her, so she had to offer an awkward yet polite smile and bow, saying, "Hello, my name is Su Yunxi, Yu Ling'er's senior sister. I'm sorry to bother you."

"You're welcome. My name is Tian Zhen." Tian Zhen replied.

"My name is Tian Li." Da Zhuang also returned the greeting.

"Ye Ping." He just nodded while holding the sword.

"Haha~ Your name is Tian Zhen, your name is Tian Li, you two are brothers! But you two don't look alike?" Yu Ling'er seemed to have discovered something, but was a little entangled.

Tian Zhen had no choice but to say: "We are from the same village!"

Yu Ling'er suddenly realized.

The third person he saw was the little girl playing the piano, but fortunately, she just nodded at him from a distance and followed her senior sisters.

Su Yunxi, who was older than them, told them that only those below the Golden Core stage could enter the secret realm. While there were many opportunities within the secret realm, there were also many dangers, so sticking together could reduce the risk...

She was talking incessantly, and she had her own little calculations in mind. For some reason, my junior sister trusted this seemingly slick boy so much. The big fool looked honest. The swordsman was taciturn and stayed alone, but he listened carefully to our conversation. He was a person who liked to act alone. Well, no matter what, we still have to be careful.
