221 – Suppressing Gu Xuan! Cultivation Soars!

In the blink of an eye, several decades have passed, and the Central Immortal Continent has become ever more lively. Yet, you remain silently focused on your cultivation, waiting for the right moment to challenge Gu Xuan again.

Not long after, Ji Bingyan sent word, and you went to the Ji family. When the Wang family discovered that the first prince of the Taiyi Emperor Palace had chosen to help the Ji family, their faces changed drastically. They didn’t even dare to consider fighting and directly chose to surrender.

Thus, you smoothly entered the secret realm. Although you have now broken through to the Great Saint level, you still brought Cai Yonglong along for safety. Additionally, this might also offer him an opportunity.

Soon, you delved into the cold pond and saw the Heavenly Frost Ice. This time, you felt no fear and directly attacked. Sensing your threat, the Heavenly Frost Ice erupted with terrifying cold energy, attempting to freeze you.

Faced with the cold energy, you smiled coldly and easily dissolved it. To you now, the Heavenly Frost Ice poses no threat. Next, you began trying to subdue it.

Though the Heavenly Frost Ice fiercely resisted, giving you a bit of a headache, you ultimately managed to suppress and seal it, absorbing it into your internal world. You plan to either absorb it later or trade it with the Ji family or another expert with ice abilities for some benefits.

After all, the Heavenly Frost Ice isn’t of much use to you. You are about to have the complete Spacetime Dao Body, making the benefitting from the Heavenly Frost Ice Physique feel unnecessary and unable to enhance your combat power.

Hence, trading it away is undoubtedly the best choice. As for gifting it to Ji Bingyan, you don’t owe her anything, and you wouldn’t part with such a precious item. Perhaps, when you become exceedingly powerful in the future, you might spare her a thought, but for now, your priority is yourself.

Next, you delved into the cold pond again and discovered the Origin of Time, subduing it. However, you didn’t intend to refine it there and then; you planned to return to the Taiyi Emperor Palace first.

After all, if you refined the Origin of Time there, you would undoubtedly face a tribulation upon leaving. At that point, your Great Saint cultivation would be exposed. Once revealed, challenging Gu Xuan without being able to show off would not be fun.

Although you did not face a tribulation, when the secret realm closed, Cai Yonglong passed the Saint Tribulation and successfully became a Saint. Cai Yonglong was overjoyed and deeply grateful to you. Though he didn’t know why you chose to take him for this opportunity over Lin Qinghe and Wan Yu, he didn’t ask, merely silently remembering this favor.

You returned to the Taiyi Emperor Palace, absorbing the Origin of Time in the palace’s secret place. Eventually, you successfully gained the perfect Spacetime Dao Body and began your tribulation.

The terrifying Heavenly Tribulation appeared, far more terrifying than the previous simulation. Now that you have reached the Great Saint level, you are much stronger than before. However, you weren’t afraid, eager for the tribulation to be as strong as possible.

As you faced the tribulation, many old monsters in the Taiyi Emperor Palace were alarmed, shocked that you had drawn such a terrifying tribulation. Soon, they saw through it and realized you had obtained the Origin of Time and formed the perfect Spacetime Dao Body.

This realization left the old monsters even more astonished, then overjoyed. Now you could be called a young emperor, with hope of surpassing Gu Xuan and vying for the opportunity to become immortal in the future.

Ultimately, you successfully passed the tribulation, perfecting the Spacetime Dao Body and becoming even stronger. You also used this tribulation to break through to the second level of the Great Saint realm.

Now, you laughed heartily, full of vigor, feeling that no peer could match you, not even Gu Xuan.

At this time, Yu Daohong came to congratulate you with a complicated expression. You chuckled and asked if Yu Daohong would like to become your disciple, promising to take him along during your quest for immortality.

Hearing your words, Yu Daohong’s face darkened and told you to get lost, then disappeared as a divine rainbow.

Seeing this, you shook your head slightly. That kid… He told you to get lost but ended up leaving himself; it was quite amusing.

Next, you plan to consolidate your power before challenging Gu Xuan and defeating him. Though you felt it would be more secure if Emperor Tianyu found the diviner and located the Dark Time Emperor’s Scripture, allowing you to master it before the challenge, Emperor Tianyu’s whereabouts in this simulation are unknown, leaving you puzzled and abandoning this thought.

However, you weren’t worried. If you were still defeated by Gu Xuan, it would be too disgraceful; you might as well give up.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed. During these months, Wan Yu became a Saint, and Little Demon Wang reached the half-step Saint level. They chose to embark on the Taiyi Heavenly Path together. Eventually, both reached the twelfth step, becoming the new prince and princess of the Taiyi Emperor Palace.

This made everyone in the Taiyi Emperor Palace emotional. Your disciples are as formidable as their master, achieving royal status at such a young age. Among your peers, only you possess disciples of princely stature.

As people marveled, they were unaware that Lin Qinghe, to avoid causing trouble for the Taiyi Emperor Palace and you, had been cultivating quietly, with no intention of stepping onto the Taiyi Heavenly Path to become a princess. Otherwise, with Lin Qinghe’s current potential and strength, becoming the fourth or even the third prince would have been a breeze.

【Next, after you settle your cultivation, you choose to exit seclusion and challenge Gu Xuan.】

【This invitation to battle causes a sensation across the entire Central Immortal Continent, with many cultivators eagerly awaiting Gu Xuan’s response and the potential battle between you two.】

【Soon, Gu Xuan accepts your challenge, planning to fight you on the peak of Purple Moon Mountain in half a month. Instantly, a large number of cultivators begin heading towards the peak of Purple Moon Mountain, including some from outside the Central Immortal Continent.】

【Amidst this attention, there is someone who is very displeased. That person is Shi Yuyan. She feels you are too arrogant, directly ignoring her to challenge Gu Xuan, which is a blatant sign of disrespect towards her.】

【After all, you are only fifth on the Saint King List, and you merely possess an incomplete Spacetime Dao Body. Your victory over Yu Daohong and your current position are largely due to your advantage of dual space-time laws. Given your current self, your chances of winning against her would not be high.】

【Additionally, Shi Yuyan is puzzled as to why the aloof and proud Gu Xuan would accept your challenge.】

【Therefore, while you wait for Gu Xuan’s arrival, Shi Yuyan chooses to directly challenge you, declaring that to fight Gu Xuan, you must first defeat her.】

【You look at Shi Yuyan without saying much and immediately unleash your half-step Great Saint cultivation while activating your Spacetime Divine Ability along with the effect of Multiple Symphony.】

【Facing your relentless attack, Shi Yuyan cannot withstand it and would be killed instantly by you. This shocks her greatly; she didn’t expect you to be so powerful, filling her with the same sense of helplessness and despair as when she fought Gu Xuan.】

【Ultimately, Shi Yuyan’s protector saves her, leaving her face red with embarrassment. She didn’t expect to be so pitifully weak, unable to even withstand a single strike from you. Remembering her earlier words, she feels thoroughly humiliated.】

【Many top talents are also extremely shocked, marveling at your immense strength, thinking perhaps you could truly fight Gu Xuan from the Eternal Life Gu family. The old monsters are even more amazed, secretly scoffing at the depths the Taiyi Emperor Palace has hidden you.】

“This woman is just asking for trouble… At my current level, how can you compare?”

Wang Ping muttered to himself as he looked at the text simulation.

But, considering you are the second on the Saint King List, I won’t hold it against you. When I grow stronger in the future, I’ll take you as my disciple and properly ‘teach’ you in cultivation.

As Wang Ping muttered, the simulation continued.

【Next, Gu Xuan from the Eternal Life Gu family arrives. Your battle intent soaring, you immediately launch an attack, which Gu Xuan takes calmly. You are not surprised by this and still do not plan to use your true cultivation, instead intending to first battle Gu Xuan with equal cultivation.】

【In response to your all-out attack, Gu Xuan becomes slightly serious and unleashes remarkable combat power, easily suppressing you. Even with your unreserved use of the golden talent: Multiple Symphony, occasionally triggering a double symphony, you cannot gain the upper hand.】

【This forces you to marvel at Gu Xuan’s immense strength. The spectators are also astonished by Gu Xuan’s power. As the first on the Saint King List, his reputation is well deserved. They believe you are destined to lose this battle, seeing as Gu Xuan clearly holds many hidden cards yet to be revealed.】

【In the midst of everyone thinking you are sure to lose, you no longer hold back and utilize your true cultivation. Although you could use the talents of divine ability nullification and damage nullification to catch Gu Xuan off guard and win flexibly, you prefer to keep these two hidden advantages and suppress Gu Xuan with your cultivation instead for greater satisfaction.】

【As you reveal your true cultivation, everyone is shocked. Whether they are top talents or old monsters, none expected your cultivation to have reached the Great Saint level, and not just recently but reaching the Great Saint Second Level.】

【With such cultivation, you are undoubtedly unparalleled among your peers. For a moment, everyone feels Gu Xuan might lose. Although such a loss would not be shameful, it is still a loss. Of course, they do not consider you using your higher cultivation to be disgraceful either. After all, among peers, a higher cultivation is also a result of one’s personal cultivation efforts. No one has stipulated that peer-level battles must involve equal cultivation.】

【As everyone feels emotional, the old monsters from the Taiyi Emperor Palace smirk, finding the reactions of other cultivators to be very satisfying.】

【Even Gu Xuan’s expression changes, not expecting your cultivation to have reached the second level of the Great Saint. Because of this, he no longer hides his strength, unleashing his true combat power. Instantly, celestial phenomena emerge, shocking countless cultivators.】

【Gu Xuan possesses a dual imperial bloodline and an immortal bone no less than the Great Thunder Immortal Physique. Although this talent is startling, it is not unexpected, as the Gu family has always been mysterious, with dual emperors coexisting, and producing such bloodlines is normal. It would be strange if the Gu family heir, Gu Xuan, did not have such monstrous talent.】

【What further stuns the old monsters is that the scripture Gu Xuan cultivates is clearly not an Emperor’s scripture but an Immortal scripture. As Gu Xuan makes his move, ethereal celestial sounds accompany him, and the celestial phenomena become increasingly terrifying, unleashing unimaginably powerful forces.】

【Although you are surprised by Gu Xuan practicing an Immortal scripture, you are not shocked. After all, you had already speculated about this beforehand; now it was merely confirmed. You laugh heartily, saying that even with an Immortal scripture, the gap in cultivation is so vast that you can easily break through it.】

In the midst of speaking, you unleashed a terrifying power, simultaneously using the Devour Space Emperor’s Scripture and Dao Palace’s Emperor Scripture, along with Spacetime Divine Ability, to suppress everything.

The terrifying divine abilities clashed together. Even though Gu Xuan had practiced the Immortal Scripture, he was easily suppressed by you, coughing up blood and sustaining significant injuries.

This result made everyone sigh. The Immortal Scripture, though powerful, could not be deeply comprehended by Gu Xuan, who was only at the half-step Great Saint level. Even if the comprehension wasn’t deep, it was enough to unleash terrifying might. Even the anomalies ranked around fifteenth on the Saint King List would be overpowered and slain by Gu Xuan if they reached the Great Saint level.

But you are different. After all, you are a prodigy far surpassing other anomalies, so powerful that even Shi Yuyan, who is second on the Saint King List, couldn’t withstand a single move from you. Furthermore, your cultivation isn’t just at the initial Great Saint level but at the second tier of Great Saint.

Therefore, even though Gu Xuan had practiced the Immortal Scripture, the result was that he was easily suppressed by you without any exceptions. For Gu Xuan to surpass you now, he would also need to break through to the Great Saint level. In that case, the small gap in cultivation wouldn’t matter for Gu Xuan, who has practiced the Immortal Scripture.

Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Xuan calmly wiped away the blood from his lips and admitted his defeat. However, he didn’t threaten you; he just turned around and left.

This surprised everyone. They didn’t expect such calmness from Gu Xuan. You also felt that Gu Xuan’s calmness was excessive, making you think he might be hiding something profound.

“Using cultivation to suppress others, it’s indeed satisfying. No matter what level of anomaly you are, as long as your talent and foundation don’t far exceed mine, defeating me is nothing but a pipe dream.”

Wang Ping looked at the simulation content with a smile on his face.

How high was Gu Xuan’s image in the previous simulations? Gu Xuan being number one, while others fought for second place.

But now, after he broke through to the Great Saint level, he easily took Gu Xuan down, rendering many of his techniques useless.

This is the advantage brought by higher cultivation.

“Indeed, based on a solid foundation, quickly improving one’s cultivation is the right path. What kind of competition among prodigies is it when my cultivation is one or two great realms ahead of yours? What can you fight me with? If I attain the Dao Emperor status years ahead of you, all those prodigies would only be worthy of grooming in my eyes.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered, his lips slightly upward as he muttered with great expectation for the future.

“However, rapidly improving one’s cultivation by using the seven-colored talent: Growing Stronger by Accepting Disciples to reach the perfection of the Great Saint level is not that hard. But the difficult part is the half-step Supreme and Supreme levels, which require not only prodigious disciples but also enlightenment in the Dao. Without enlightenment, accepting disciples is useless.”

After a pause, Wang Ping sighed again.

However, he needn’t worry. His growth speed was already fast enough. Unless Gu Xuan had some cheat or the mysterious Eternal Life Gu family used some precious resources to forcefully nurture him, it would be tough for Gu Xuan to catch up.

While Wang Ping was deep in thought, the simulation continued.

From then on, you also chose to leave, with no intention of staying further. Since both you and Gu Xuan had left, the remaining prodigies had no intention to fight either. Given your and Gu Xuan’s strength, any further battles among them would make them appear weak and quite embarrassing.

Soon, news of you breaking through to the Great Saint level and defeating Gu Xuan, who was ranked first on the Saint King List, spread across the Central Immortal Continent. Although many believed that under the same conditions, Gu Xuan was still the strongest, your victory over Gu Xuan was a fact, cementing you as the first among his generation in this era.

Although your title as the first of your generation was largely due to your higher cultivation, and it was believed that once Gu Xuan and others also broke through to the Great Saint level, your advantage would disappear, causing you to lose your top position among peers, at this moment, no one could refute your position.

However, because of your breakthrough to the Great Saint level, your ranking on the Saint King List vanished, and Yu Daohong returned to the fifth place, making him feel extremely conflicted.

This situation motivated many prodigies to strive for a quick breakthrough to the Great Saint level. Otherwise, no matter how strong their combat power was at the same level, they would still be crushed if their cultivation fell behind, which would be very frustrating.

It could be said that because of you, the prodigies on the Saint King List began to compete even more fiercely.

You weren’t particularly concerned about these developments. After defeating Gu Xuan, your next steps were very clear – to continue accepting disciples, quickly improve your cultivation, and maintain your advantage.

In your mind, there is naturally still information about the remaining wild anomaly. However, the situation with this wild anomaly is quite troublesome, and finding him will also be troublesome.

The reason for this is that he has been self-sealed for too long. During his self-sealing, his force was completely destroyed, and he has been wandering ever since.

Rumor has it that he will appear thirty years later. At this point in time, it is completely impossible to know where he is wandering or where he will appear.

Besides, his cultivation is already very high. He will have the cultivation level of a Saint when he appears. With your current cultivation, it will be very difficult to take him as a disciple.

However, you don’t care about these details. Even if in this simulation you cannot find him or take him as a disciple, as long as you establish a good relationship with him and find out where he will appear, it will be easier next time.

Moreover, even if next time you still cannot take him as a disciple, as long as your cultivation reaches the Supreme level, it will be very easy to take him as a disciple later, and you will still gain something. It will not be a loss no matter how you look at it.

Thus, while you send your followers to find the whereabouts of this anomaly, you also set your sights on the remnant soul of the previous generation of the Devouring Immortal Demon Body. After all, in her previous life, she had reached the level of killing an Old Emperor. If you could take her as a disciple, your cultivation would definitely improve greatly.

Even though she is now just a remnant soul, you believe you would still gain greatly.

You learn about the past of the previous generation of the Devouring Immortal Demon Body and start to coax her, stating that if she sincerely acknowledges you as her master, you could make her live another life, even helping her regain her memory.

Hearing your words, the remnant soul of the previous generation of the Devouring Immortal Demon Body’s face turns dark and tells you to get lost. You are not bothered by this; you know that it will take some effort to win this woman over. Although it is difficult to take her as a disciple now, as long as you improve your cultivation and give her hope, and approach it strategically, she will eventually be moved.

After this, you plan to continue your closed-door cultivation to further improve your cultivation. However, you soon remember something you overlooked. It is difficult to take disciples all over the Large Universe without inconveniencing Emperor Tianyu. You could wander the Small Universe instead.

Besides, in the First Minor Universe, there is a naturally born Saint. Although at this point, the naturally born Saint has long disappeared, possibly dead or alive amidst the struggle between two quasi-emperors, you think it is still necessary to gather information.

Thus, you call upon a quasi-emperor from the Taiyi Emperor Palace to take you to the First Minor Universe. Given your status as the First Emperor’s son, the quasi-emperor of the Taiyi Emperor Palace naturally would not refuse and gives you enough respect.

Soon, you are taken across the universe by this quasi-emperor and brought to the First Minor Universe.

Upon arriving in the First Minor Universe, you do not immediately gather information but start taking disciples.

As the Large Universe gradually enters a golden era, the Small Universe is naturally no exception. Therefore, many self-sealed geniuses and older cultivators come out of seclusion.

Thus, it is not difficult for you to take some disciples who have the potential of Saints, Saint Kings, and Great Saints. However, something disappointing happens. While you still reap some rewards from taking disciples with Saint potential, the gains are very small.

According to your estimates, to break through from the second level of the Great Saint to the third level, you would need to take over 100,000 disciples with Saint potential; even these geniuses might not help you cross the minor bottleneck from the second to the third level.

As for disciples with Saint King potential, they are indeed stronger than those with Saint potential, offering more cultivation improvement, but you would still need to take thousands of them to break through a minor realm.

Only by taking disciples with Great Saint potential, will your improvement be substantial. Probably, taking one hundred disciples with Great Saint potential would advance you a minor realm.

This makes you fall into deep thought, as this is different from the improvement rates you had when you were a Saint and Saint King. After analyzing, you conclude that with your current high level of cultivation, much higher talent, and stronger foundation, more people are needed.

You feel somewhat regretful, thinking that rapidly improving your cultivation through sheer numbers is very troublesome. While feasible, it is not as cost-effective as taking truly talented geniuses as disciples.

Unless you possess a talent that can genuinely test abilities and easily scan these people, and then create a large force to bring them in, sheer numbers have a low cost-effectiveness.

Moreover, you notice that the quasi-emperor who came with you is also looking extremely displeased. After all, whether in the Lower Realm or the Upper Realm, taking disciples is a very serious matter.

Upon arriving in the First Minor Universe, you take disciples wantonly, even poaching from others. It would be understandable if you were taking in anomalies, but you take in many ordinary beings, which he cannot tolerate.

After all, it makes you look like you’re playing around, which completely disgraces your identity as the First Emperor’s son and makes even Emperor Tianyu lose face. After all, not everyone is qualified to be a disciple of Emperor Tianyu.

“As expected, it turned out this way… However, the situation is a bit better than I imagined. Accepting common disciples still allows me to accumulate cultivation, just less so.”

Wang Ping looked at the content of the text simulation, his eyes flickering.

“However, with the Ten Great Universes being so vast, there are countless ordinary talents with the potential to become Saints. Even if there is no corresponding screening talent, making the efficiency slow, it can still be accumulated through simulations.”

“Of course, this is just how I operate when my cultivation is weak. The real high efficiency is not about finding talents one by one that can screen talents or establishing a sect to accept disciples. The real method is to spread the teachings!”

“When I achieve the Supreme level and the Quasi-Emperor stage, as long as I spread the Supreme techniques and Divine Abilities I create, and then set a condition, I can easily boost my cultivation while lying down, accumulating little by little, or occasionally picking up some benefits. After all, although the majority of those who can make it to the major rankings are from powerful forces, there will still be some among the common people.”

Wang Ping’s eyes shone brightly, as he thought of methods that even the simulated Wang Ping had not considered.

As long as he sets the restriction that anyone who wishes to cultivate this technique must sincerely take him as their master, the entire Upper Realm will be stirred up.

Although the Supreme-level techniques and Divine Abilities might not interest the major forces, how many cultivators in the Upper Realm practice Supreme-level techniques and Divine Abilities?
The Supreme arts may not be considered much to those at the Emperor’s level, but for ordinary cultivators and even the Holy Lands, they are significant opportunities.

Take the Great Origin Ancient Star, for example. Even in this special ancient star, apart from the extraordinary Dao Palace, none of the other forces can produce Supreme arts, let alone Great Saint arts.

If there were free Supreme arts to learn, would they not learn it?
Not to mention these forces, even those with Supreme-level guardians would still be tempted.

After all, it would be foolish to refuse a new Supreme art for free.
The most crucial point is, if even ordinary cultivators practice the Supreme arts, and they don’t, they would be left behind.

Then, where would the advantage of Supreme forces lie?

“Uh, thinking about it this way, if I really spread the teachings, I might end up being hated by those major forces. In the future, it would make it difficult for disciples and significant figures of major forces to defeat rogue cultivators, and it would also diminish the sense of superiority among the disciples and elders of these major forces.”

Wang Ping’s expression turned particularly subtle at this point.

“Forget it, who cares. As long as I can gain benefits, the rest doesn’t matter. Besides, this is just a simulation, I don’t have to do it like this in reality. That would attract too much hatred. When that time comes, even Taiyi Emperor Palace might not be able to hold up.”

Wang Ping shook his head again and mumbled.

Immediately, Wang Ping chose to actively enter an immersive simulation state, planning to use the First Minor Universe to try out if this method would work.

Although the current Wang Ping has only created his own Great Saint art and is still some distance from creating a Supreme art, his Great Saint art is not comparable to ordinary Great Saint arts, enough to drive many people crazy.

As for why not spread Emperor’s scriptures, it’s because Emperor’s scriptures are not something Wang Ping can modify or add restrictions to at will.

Not to mention the Emperor’s scriptures, even the numerous Quasi-Emperor arts and Supreme arts of Taiyi Emperor Palace have safeguards, all laid out by the founders to prevent the leakage of their legacies.

So, if he wants to spread teachings, he can only rely on himself.

“System, continue to fast forward.”

After briefly entering the immersive simulation state to alter the rigid disciple-recruitment thoughts of the simulated Wang Ping, Wang Ping once again entered the text simulation state.

In an instant, the text continued to appear.

【When you changed your mind, the quasi-emperor of Taiyi Emperor Palace also reminded you to pay attention to your image and not to take in ordinary talents as disciples everywhere.】

【In response, you chuckled lightly and made a promise. Then, you didn’t choose to take in disciples everywhere but decided to go into seclusion to refine your secret technique and impose restrictions.】

【Before going into seclusion, you also asked the quasi-emperor and your Supreme Dao Protectors to leave your side. After all, with them around, many things would be inconvenient for you to do and would easily expose too many secrets.】

【Seeing you asking them to leave, both the quasi-emperor and your Supreme Dao Protectors frowned, having some difficulty understanding your thoughts, and thus, they were reluctant to leave. Because you are the First Emperor Son of the Taiyi Emperor Palace, letting you be alone in the First Minor Universe is indeed too dangerous. If something happens to you, they wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility.】

【Seeing the two unwilling to leave, you felt a bit of a headache and could only let them stay in the First Minor Universe. However, you still didn’t let them stay by your side. This way, if something happens to you, you can seek their help at the first moment, and they wouldn’t pry too much into your secrets.】

【In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and you successfully added many restrictions to your self-created technique. Then, you took action and started teaching the technique on your ancient star.】

【When you were propagating the technique on the ancient star, many cultivators were somewhat surprised and a bit skeptical. However, when someone sincerely took you as a master and truly obtained the cultivation method of the Great Saint’s technique, the news quickly spread, making both major families and Holy Lands ecstatic, and they began practicing your Great Saint’s technique one after another.】

【Eventually, you found that under this method, your cultivation began to grow. Even those old relics with the cultivation of Saints and Saint Kings were willing to sincerely take you as a master.】

【After all, to them, it wasn’t a big deal not seeing you in person; kneeling and paying homage from afar was not a disgrace, especially since nobody saw it. Even if someone did see it, so what? Such a powerful Great Saint’s technique was simply too enticing; losing a bit of face was nothing.】

【Feeling your increasing cultivation, you were quite satisfied. Although this level was still far from breaking through to the third level of Great Saint, this was just one ancient star. With the technique quickly spreading in the First Minor Universe, small amounts accumulating, you would eventually reap a great harvest.】

【Soon, you took action again, rapidly traveling to different ancient stars, spreading your technique. You even found the speed at which you were spreading too slow and began hiring other cultivators to help spread the technique.】

【As a result, like a spark that could ignite a prairie fire, your Great Saint’s technique began to spread quickly across major ancient stars. At this rate, it would eventually spread to the central region of the First Minor Universe.】

【Indeed, although the First Minor Universe is much smaller than the Large Universe, it also has a central region.】

【It must be said that compared to the Central Immortal Continent of the Large Universe, the central regions of the Nine Minor Universes each have their own characteristics. To be accurate, they exhibit nine major attributes: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, and Darkness.】

【The central regions of the Nine Minor Universes are suitable for cultivators of corresponding attributes. Hence, they are considered cultivation Holy Lands for those attributes, and even cultivators from the Large Universe specifically travel to the corresponding attribute’s central region in the Minor Universe for cultivation.】

【However, although you were spreading the technique, for the time being, you had no intention of heading to the central region of the First Minor Universe. After all, there were many large forces there, making it inconvenient to act. You preferred to spread the technique on weaker ancient stars and adopt a strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside.】

【In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. Your cultivation made a tremendous leap, directly soaring from the second level of the Great Saint to the peak of the third level.】

【Just when you thought you had hit a bottleneck, needing to take in a high-quality talent to break through the bottleneck, or relying on yourself to break through, your cultivation made another breakthrough, directly soaring from the peak of the third level to the fifth level of Great Saint.】

【This greatly surprised you, speculating that you might have accidentally transmitted the technique to a wild lone cultivator with very high talent, leading to your cultivation soaring two small realms.】

【In the blink of an eye, three years had passed again, and your cultivation made another great leap, directly rising from the fifth level of the Great Saint to the peak of the sixth level.】

【However, upon reaching the peak of the sixth level, your cultivation got stuck and did not continue to improve. This made you contemplative, guessing that breaking through from the peak of the sixth level to the seventh level of the Great Saint was indeed a significant bottleneck that required a highly talented individual to help you break through.】

【Of course, you did not solely rely on the hope of accidentally transmitting the technique to a highly talented wild genius again but began to go into seclusion, attempting to break through the bottleneck with your own power.】

【Otherwise, if you keep relying on finding talents to break through, your own cultivation willpower would weaken. Not to mention, continuously searching, the probability of finding one yourself is very low. After all, finding them yourself is far slower than spreading the technique.】

【Unable to even spread the technique, finding them yourself is even more unreliable. Thus, relying on yourself was more prudent. With this in mind, you temporarily slowed down the spread of the technique, to avoid wasting too many talented disciple resources.】

【In the blink of an eye, nearly thirty years passed, and you were frantically breaking through. Eventually, relying solely on your own strength, you successfully broke through to the seventh level of the Great Saint. With your breakthrough, your combat power soared again, feeling extremely pleased.】
