Infiltrating the world of cultivation

call out!

Wang Chao was teleported to an arena. After an incense stick's time, Wang Chao was speechless. Clearly, he had a bye!

"What about that dynasty with the five elemental roots?"

On the grand screen, everyone searched for the figure of the dynasty.

"There he is! Why is he lying down? Did he get lucky and get a bye?"

Someone spotted the dynasty's figure, pointed to a large curtain, and shouted out.

"This dynasty once achieved the feat of receiving a bye ten times during the Six Peaks Ceremony!"

Some people recognized the dynasty and dug up all his past secrets.

"He has only been in the inner sect for a little over a year, yet he has already reached the twelfth stage of Qi Refining?"

"Weren't the five elemental spiritual roots already in decline? Why is it happening so quickly?"

Some people were shocked because, under normal circumstances, after being trained by the sect, they could establish their foundation in five years. Those who could not establish their foundation were sent back to their hometowns.

At the Qi Refining stage, once you reach the resource points of the sects ahead, you'll just be cannon fodder. It's better to return to the Three Thousand Kingdoms, find some talented mortals, send them to the sects, and let them make some contributions.

In this way, if any of their descendants have children with spiritual roots, the sect will take care of them.

The Qinghui Sword Sect's mountain gate in the Great Han Empire was originally a seedling cultivation base. The reason why people with spiritual roots come to pay homage to the mountain every year is largely due to the contributions of those who were sent back to their hometowns.

"The five elemental spiritual roots have indeed declined. I heard that the dynasty's Qi cultivation level is only at the seventh stage of Qi Refining."

However, he cultivated both martial arts and Taoism, practicing a body-refining technique. Then, Senior Sister Qingyao placed him in the Lantian Cauldron to temper his physical body using ancient methods.

Unexpectedly, during that training session, an accident occurred, and the dynasty was dragged directly into the earth fire by a fire dragon.

I don't need to elaborate on the temperature of subterranean fire, do I? As a result, Wang Chao survived the ordeal, and his body-refining method was able to break through due to the misfortune.

He slept for half a year before waking up. If you also want to reach his level within a year, you can also go and experience the subterranean fire!

Some disciples who knew the inside story told others about it.

Upon hearing this, the others all shook their heads repeatedly. Body-refining methods are all self-torture methods. Why not follow the proper Golden Core Path and go to cultivate those body-refining methods?

They are not like the Dynasty, who possessed five elemental spiritual roots, making cultivation extremely difficult and requiring such self-torture methods.

Fixed mindsets can easily limit people. Just like on Earth, most people believe that business opportunities are already saturated and that the money-making projects are all occupied by the big shots.

I believe that if I were reborn ten years ago, I could also make a name for myself. But would you have the same mindset and perspective ten years ago?

You should know that when Pony Ma created Taobao, almost everyone thought he was a fraud and no one believed his claims.

So it's not that there are no business opportunities, but rather that people are unwilling to break away from traditional thinking.

When no one has ever done something before, no one knows what to expect. The first person to try it might become rich overnight, or they might suffer a terrible loss.

Opportunities and risks are twofold; how can one profit without taking on certain risks?

This is the principle behind why the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

Because the rich have start-up capital, they are not afraid of losing, while the poor worry that if they fail, they will lose everything.

But let's think about it: we're all alone now, we have nothing, so how much worse can things get?

Instead of hesitating and having many concerns, why not take a chance? You'll never know how strong you are until you try.

"Ten consecutive byes is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it? Could it be that he's related to the sect leader? I heard that the sect leader gave him 10,000 sect contribution points!"

That's ten thousand points! What does that mean? Even Senior Brother Chu Chaosheng probably doesn't have as many as him!

Although the ordeal the dynasty suffered at Lantian Peak was something most people couldn't endure, how do you explain ten consecutive bye-free periods? It's very illogical!

"Could it be that the sect leader had an illegitimate child due to his worldly affairs?"

Some people speculate that, after all, the dynasty might have gotten away with it through back channels, otherwise how could it have missed out on ten consecutive times?

Wang Chao knew nothing about what was happening outside the court. He had gone to the arena five times in a row and had been given a bye each time.

Even the acting peak master of Biyao Peak was alarmed. He was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator who had just suffered some injuries and was returning to the sect to recuperate and also to mentor his disciples.

However, in the past two years, Biyao Peak has been in decline and has no outstanding disciples. He forced Hu Tianqi to join the team, but he was not very capable.

Nangong Qingyu, who possesses dual spiritual roots, is very powerful, but she is still too young and needs to gain more experience for two more years.

A dynasty that has risen suddenly has the potential to become the leader, but the dynasty is based on five elemental roots, so even establishing a foundation would be difficult.

This put him in a difficult position. Who should he support? Weighing the pros and cons, should he support the dynasty and secure the top spot in this year's sect ceremony first?

Otherwise, if future disciples who join the Qinghui Sword Sect see that Biyao Peak is in decline, they will stop coming to Biyao Peak. Over time, this will lead to a shortage of successors and Biyao Peak gradually falling into obscurity.

After personally inspecting the Ten Directions Grand Array, the acting peak master of Biyao Peak had a very strange expression, because he also realized that no one had interfered with the operation of the grand array.

In other words, was it all just good luck for the dynasty?

"Peak Master, is Dynasty cheating? They've had eight consecutive byes. At this rate, won't they have to have a bye again until the finals?"

Is this unfair to the other participants in the selection process?

Some people in the crowd voiced their doubts.

It has to be said that some people are like that; when you are unknown, they ignore you, but once you rise to prominence, they swarm around you with all sorts of opinions.

"The selection process within my Biyao Peak is absolutely fair and without any manipulation."

The acting peak master of Biyao Peak initially didn't want to get involved, but seeing that the public opinion was shifting, he still spoke up to explain.

When the dynasty had been vacant for fifteen times, even the sect leader of the main peak was alarmed.

The sect leader and the acting peak masters of the other peaks inspected the great formation, but still couldn't find any problems.

This great formation has been operating for thousands of years. Even they can only stop its operation, but they cannot change its operating principle.

The acting peak master of the Four Symbols Peak was most proficient in the art of array formations and talismans; even he could not see any problems.

If the formation itself is fine, then the problem lies with the dynasty itself.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, this great formation is arranged according to the marks left in the world."

This five-elemental spiritual root hasn't appeared for a thousand years. It's very likely that the unique nature of his innate spiritual root caused the great formation to exclude him.

The master of the Four Symbols Peaks, after a long period of research, came to this conclusion.
