On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 268: How much progress do you want me to achieve?

This time, the room was several times bigger than the first floor.

In the center of the room stood a large golden cauldron adorned with intricate carvings showing nine dragons coming out of the top.

The cauldron stood at 5 meters high and spanned 10 meters wide.

Beside the golden cauldron stood Xu Zhiyuan and a cross-legged Yin Yun, the latter with her eyes closed. She was focused on refining a pill, since she had a small cauldron in front of her and a fire burning underneath.

Sweat glistened on her face as she carefully added ingredients to the cauldron, her brow furrowed in concentration.

Her expression revealed that concocting pills was a challenging task.

'Nine Dragons Divine Refinement Cauldron!'

Wu Ye's voice suddenly echoed in Chen Tian's mind as she shouted, sending a chill down his spine.

Chen Tian was startled by her sudden shout, causing him to jump in surprise.

"Is something wrong?" Duan Shu asked, noticing his sudden jump and pale expression.

Chen Tian promptly shook his head, attempting to dispel the lingering unease in his mind. "No, I'm fine," he replied, forcing a smile.

Duan Shu raised an eyebrow, her expression betraying disbelief, yet she decided not to delve deeper into the issue.

'What's wrong with you?' Chen Tian questioned Wu Ye, frustration evident in his voice.

From the time Chen Tian arrived at the sect, Wu Ye only briefly talked to him, and she never tried to use her Divine Sense in the sect since there are experts like Duan Shu and Xu Zhiyuan or stronger.

Even if she was a Dao Ancestor Realm Expert, which was one Realm higher than both of them, she still couldn't take any risks of someone discovering her until she recovered her strength.

Today, Wu Ye chose to simply observe without interfering, but upon seeing the cauldron in the room, she couldn't resist letting out a scream.

A shiver ran down her spine as she recognized the artifact.

The cauldron before her was 'The Nine Dragons Divine Refinement Cauldron.'

'Chen Tian! This cauldron is no ordinary one!' Wu Ye exclaimed, a warning that instantly alerted Chen Tian to its importance.

He wasn't sure what Wu Ye was talking about, since he didn't have any knowledge when it came to Alchemy or Artifact Refinement.

"Little kid, I see you've grown quite well in the past few months I've been away." Xu Zhiyuan approached both Duan Shu and Chen Tian after seeing them enter the room.

"What? Did you forget how to greet your master?" Xu Zhiyuan smirked as he looked at Chen Tian.

Chen Tian rolled his eyes at Xu Zhiyuan; he wanted to criticize the old man, but decided to hold his tongue.

From the day he and Su Bingxin entered the sect, Xu Zhiyuan had yet to act as their master or teach them anything, not like Chen Tian needed someone to teach him.

He was now more curious about the cauldron that Wu Ye had just mentioned.

"This disciple greets Master," Chen Tian greeted Xu Zhiyuan, bowing slightly, but it was clear that he was not happy.

Xu Zhiyuan chuckled, patting Chen Tian on the back, "Okay, young scoundrel, always so quick to get pissed off. But enough about that, let's talk."

"You guys talk, and when you finish, join us. I will go see my disciple," Duan Shu said as she walked away, leaving Chen Tian and Xu Zhiyuan to continue their conversation.

"Your strength is already at the 2nd Stage of the Foundation Realm, kid, how do you even cultivate? Even your partner isn't worse than you!" Xu Zhiyuan chuckled.

"Both of you should take it slow, as rushing cultivation without a solid foundation can lead to disaster. It's important to build a strong base before advancing further," Xu Zhiyuan continued.

He was thrilled after seeing that Chen Tian and Su Bingxin's cultivation rise quickly, but he was still worried about their foundation and wanted to check things out first.

"Quickly give me your hand, I will check your foundation first before we proceed any further," Xu Zhiyuan said as he gestured for Chen Tian to give him his hand.

Xu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and began to channel his spiritual energy, feeling for any inconsistencies or weaknesses in Chen Tian's foundation.

It wasn't hard to check someone's foundation; Xu Zhiyuan only had to examine Chen Tian's Spiritual Qi inside his body to determine its stability and strength.

Someone with a weak foundation entering the Foundation Establishment Realm may still be stronger than a typical Meridian Opening Realm cultivator. However, if they were to battle a genius Meridian Opening Realm cultivator, the weaknesses in their foundation would become apparent.

After a few moments, Xu Zhiyuan opened his eyes with a shocked expression.

"H-How the heck!"

"Your foundation is…" Xu Zhiyuan stammered, unable to hide his astonishment. "I've never seen anything like this before."

Chen Tian's foundation wasn't just good; it was extraordinary. The spiritual Qi within his body was not only stable but also incredibly powerful, far surpassing what was expected for a 2nd Stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator.

With a solid foundation like this, Chen Tian would undoubtedly be able to defeat someone in the 6th Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Xu Zhiyuan could only marvel at the sheer talent and potential that Chen Tian possessed.

The difference between the 3rd and 4th stages was akin to a major barrier separating the early and middle stages, representing a significant leap in power and ability that few could surpass.

"What is the level of your Sword aura?" Xu Zhiyuan asked; the last time they met, Chen Tian could use the first level of Sword Aura perfectly, and now 5 months have passed.

If Chen Tian mastered the second level, Xu Zhiyuan wouldn't be surprised, but if it's beyond that, it would truly be a remarkable achievement. Xu Zhiyuan wouldn't know how to react.

Chen Tian didn't respond to Xu Zhiyuan's question immediately. Chen Tian's expression was thoughtful as he considered his answer.

Initially, he considered claiming that he had mastered the second level, a common achievement. However, he altered his response to avoid giving the impression that he required advice from Xu Zhiyuan.

He already had a clear idea about Xu Zhiyuan's character, and it wouldn't be bad to show him his abilities.

"How much progress do you want me to achieve?" Instead, Chen Tian looked at Xu Zhiyuan and asked with a confident smile.

Xu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Chen Tian's question.

Sensing a hint of confidence in Chen Tian's voice, Xu Zhiyuan wondered if Chen Tian had indeed surpassed the second level. Discover hidden tales at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

Xu Zhiyuan then froze in shock, his jaw dropping at the unexpected thoughts in his mind.

"No way! You…"

He looked at Chen Tian as if he were looking at a monster in human skin. The thought of Chen Tian mastering more than the second level in five months
