Chapter 166: Chapter 130 The Difficulty of Achieving Daoist Mastery, Emptying the Mind

"I'm not lying to you, your Divine Skill is indeed exquisite. Even though I'm familiar with you, it still took me two careful looks to see through your transformation."

Chun Ye said with a smile, "If it were someone who isn't familiar with you, even a Mahayana would have a hard time recognizing that this demon is actually a human in disguise."

Yang Ji's face just began to show delight, but upon hearing Elder Chun Ye's next words, he couldn't help but be taken aback and said, "Does the elder mean... that actually, if a Mahayana takes a few more looks, they would still be able to see through my transformation?"

"Yes, Divine Skills after all are creations, and in this world there is no perfect transformation skill that can completely evade detection. Being exposed is just a matter of time."

"However, the time it takes is worth pondering. For someone of my status as a top Mahayana, and one who is acquainted with you, it took me almost three breaths of time. For those Mahayana Cultivators not familiar with you, the time needed will double."

"If they are on par with me, at the top of the Mahayana, then it would take twelve breaths to see through your transformation. For an average Mahayana, it would take twenty-one breaths."

Chun Ye said slowly.

"What about a Tribulation Immortal?" Yang Ji asked again.

"A Tribulation Immortal? If it's below three tribulations, then it should be similar to me, around three breaths. As for those above three tribulations, I'm not sure," Chun Ye replied.

"How about Nascent Soul Cultivators? Can they see through my transformation?" Yang Ji asked again.

"Normally, they should not be able to see through it, but if you fight with someone else, then they should also be able to discern your transformation. Similarly, if you use techniques in front of a Mahayana, they could probably see through your transformation in a single glance," Chun Ye said.

While speaking, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked at Yang Ji and asked, "Why? What are you asking these for? Are you perhaps scheming something?"

"I'm not scheming anything bad. It's just that decades ago I captured the son of a Demon Emperor and was worried about being targeted when going out, so I wanted to ask clearly," Yang Ji said with a laugh as he made an excuse. Discover hidden stories at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

"For the past few decades, everything at the Training Ground of the Heavenly Demons has been normal with no issues. The Heavenly Fiend Demon Emperor, after all, is a leader of a sect, a figure of the highest order, and he would not stoop to petty grievances with a disciple who isn't even an official successor. Such a person, even if in opposition, wouldn't be so small-minded.

If they wanted to take issue, they would do so openly with the Sect Master. Seeking you out in secret would mean lowering his status, wouldn't it?" Chun Ye said, shaking his head nonchalantly.

"If that's the case, then that's for the best," Yang Ji nodded.

"Right, next year is the Immortal Sword Sect's sword appraisal conference. Don't wander around this year; if you miss out on a good opportunity, don't blame me," Chun Ye suddenly said with a laugh.

"Next year?" Yang Ji nodded and smiled, "Then I will patiently wait for the task notification. If I really gain some advantage at the Immortal Sword Sect this time, I will definitely bring back two jars of good wine for you, elder."

"Hmm, at least you're considerate," Chun Ye said, nodding in satisfaction.

"Elder, I will take my leave now," Yang Ji said as he bowed.

"Go ahead!" Chun Ye waved his hand.

"If I'm not mistaken, he must be practicing the Thousand Transformations Technique of the Heavenly Demons, and unexpectedly he has comprehended it to perfection. His aptitude is really not bad." After Yang Ji left, a voice suddenly came from above the Dao Tower—it was the Artifact Spirit speaking.

Chun Ye said with a smile:

"Ordinary people would probably find it difficult to comprehend a single Great Divine Power to perfection in their lifetime, and once someone comprehends a Great Divine Power to perfection, it can be said that their understanding is quite outstanding."

"If there are three Great Divine Powers comprehended to perfection, then they can be called a genius. If there are more than five Great Divine Powers comprehended to perfection, then one can be declared an unparalleled genius."

"If one can fully comprehend a single Supreme Divine Power, then one can be called a monstrous genius. If one can fully comprehend five Supreme Divine Powers, then they can be deemed a Mahayana seed."

"If one can fully comprehend a single Immortal Technique, then they can be called a True Immortal seed. As for the Junior Immortal King, a single Immortal Technique is just the starting point, such individuals have no upper limits to their understanding and possess boundless potential."

"I can sense that the boy, Yang Ji, emits the aura of many Divine Skills, and many of them have already reached completion. Such understanding indeed qualifies him as a true disciple, making him an unparalleled genius, nearly rivaling that of a monstrous prodigy."

Elder Chun Ye spoke with considerable admiration before suddenly shifting his tone, "If he can completely master his powerful Divine Techniques along with accumulating some additional foundation, then he will have enough to become a true disciple. The question is where his limits lie and whether he can become a Dao Child!"

"Every Dao Child wields earth-shattering might, wishing to overcome the Dao Calamity and obtain the Origin of the Great Dao. The Divine Skills he holds are far from sufficient; only by mastering several complete Supreme Divine Powers, or even Immortal Techniques, will he have that sliver of chance."

"The Divinity Transformation Realm lasts but three thousand years; to comprehend three or more Supreme Divine Powers within these mere three thousand years is an extreme test of one's understanding and luck."

"Having understanding is one thing, but without destiny, it's all for naught, as after all, ordinary people wishing to obtain the Supreme Divine Powers must first become true disciples."

"Some disciples, in order to accumulate enough foundation to become a true disciple, will often wait until the end of their Nascent Soul Realm before breaking through, thereby wasting more than a thousand years."

"A thousand years later, even upon becoming a true disciple, there will be only about two thousand years left to comprehend the Supreme Divine Powers. Two thousand years is actually quite limited. Unless one has the aptitude of a Junior Immortal King, achieving Dao Child status has become very difficult."

"At present, the only Supreme Dao Level Formation Yang Ji possesses is the Three Immortals Array. If he can comprehend it fully and achieve the status of a true disciple, that should be enough, but to rely solely on a Supreme Formation to become a Dao Child, there's not a chance in the world."

"His understanding is good, but his foundation is still too weak. Each of the ten Dao Children of our sect boasts incredible fortune, each mastering several Supreme Divine Powers, and even possessing several Immortal Techniques. Their starting point is already the end point for others.

Yang Ji may possess great understanding, but without great destiny and great opportunities, he has no hope of becoming a Dao Child,"

reflected Elder Chun Ye.

"Indeed, achieving Dao Child status is incredibly difficult, even harder than becoming an immortal. However, this is after all the seed of an Immortal King, and if it weren't difficult, Immortal Kings would be everywhere," the voice from the Dao Tower sounded again.

"After all, Yang Ji is someone who clashes with the destiny of the Heavenly Demon, so he is likely to have great destiny. It's just a matter of seeing what his subsequent karma and fortune will bring," said Elder Chun Ye casually.

...

One year later, he would set off for the Immortal Sword Sect!

In that year, Yang Ji did not plan to enter deep seclusion, but rather sat cross-legged, calm and collected.

He perched atop the pinnacle of Dao Peak, sat on a sheer cliff face, facing the morning glow, feeling the tranquility of sunrise. At this moment, his spirit was incredibly peaceful.

Radiant rays from the dawn scattered across the vast earth, with auspicious colors flowing over distant mountaintops. Yang Ji emptied himself.

His constant cultivation had kept his mind tense; now, he completely relaxed, opening his heart, letting his thoughts wander through the void, traveling through mountains and seas, soaring through the Nine Heavens Palaces, casting aside all thoughts of cultivation.

In this moment, Yang Ji became utterly ethereal as his thoughts drifted, as if merging with the heavens and earth, fully relaxed.

This sitting lasted a year!

(Wrote two chapters, deleted one. Suddenly had a better storyline in mind, so I won't release the deleted chapter just to pad the word count. Three chapters will be provided tomorrow. As Yang Ji grows stronger, the world will gradually unfold. The story will get more exciting, and I am confident in writing it well. Stay tuned.)
