NOVPUB"Junior Brother Wang, you being a Golden Core, but with such a shaky foundation, it is truly not acceptable,"
Atop Tianji Peak.
A black-clad young girl, with eyes completely white, bathed in lightning, slowly descended from the sky.
The whiteness in her eyes gradually receded, and the lightning also slowly retracted into her body.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing a bit of joy she couldn’t hide.
Opposite her, Wang Ba, looking disheveled and slightly charred, showed a look of sincere admiration on his face:
"It’s because Senior Sister Ruan is too formidable, not to hide from you, I too have once dominated my peers, known in the West Sea Country as unrivaled in magical combat, often smugly satisfied with myself, seeing all cultivators beneath my notice, until today’s sparring with Senior Sister. Even though my mana is far above yours, I was still one move short, only now do I understand that there are always people better than oneself, and skies beyond our skies... The key point is that Senior Sister is only at Perfect Foundation Establishment, if you were to step into Golden Core, it would be unimaginable..."
"Oh, no, cough, you’re giving me too much praise, Junior Brother,"
Listening to Wang Ba’s somewhat exaggerated flattery, Ruan Ziyin, despite trying hard to hold it back, couldn’t help but smile more openly.
Yet, worried about crushing the morale of her disciple from Wanfa Peak, she quickly offered comfort in return:
"You are also quite remarkable, Junior Brother, ’unrivaled in magical combat,’ hmm... it’s not entirely an overstatement."
"Right, I heard from Master that in our Dharma Lineage, you can practice many Cultivation Methods. Perhaps you haven’t practiced enough. I will go and ask Master to teach you our Tianji Peak’s ’Dragon-Tiger Yuankan Method.’
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.
There was no need to wait any longer, your Master had already taught it to me.
However, such words could not be said aloud, otherwise, they would lose their meaning.
He hurriedly put on an expression of surprise and delight:
"Really, really? I must thank you, Senior Sister!"
"No problem, no problem, hehe, stay here, don’t move, I’ll go call Master over right now," Ruan Ziyin said, patting her chest confidently.
Wang Ba nodded slightly.
Soon, the girl was leading a unibrowed elder, Ding Chun, flying over.
Wang Ba could vaguely hear the black-clad girl’s voice:
"... Master, please agree to it, this Junior Brother Wang is a good person, just teach him!"
Unibrowed elder Ding Chun’s face stiffened slightly as he nodded, bringing out the girl’s joyful cheer. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Ding Chun said with a hint of impatience:
"Alright, I have other matters to discuss with him, you go back first."
The black-clad girl nodded, turned, and walked away, but quickly turned back, seriously saying, "Master, please don’t refuse to teach him!"
"I’ll teach, teach, teach! Go practice quickly!"
Ding Chun waved his hand.
Finally, the black-clad girl flew away.
Despite the impatience in his tone, the look Ding Chun had when gazing at the black-clad girl was filled with affection and approval.
Not until she was out of sight did the elder turn his attention back to Wang Ba.
A smile appeared on his face:
"Nephew, you performed well just now. You’ve worked hard."
"Uncle Master Ding is too kind... But will this be useful?" Wang Ba quickly gave his thanks, then asked hesitantly.
Ding Chun nodded lightly:
"The way of Thunder seeks relentless progress. She was previously defeated in a war of attrition by a junior from Shenxiu Peak, her spirits crushed, causing a mental block, hence she hesitated to Solidify her Pill. Now that she’s defeated you, a Golden Core, her confidence is restored, and I assume it won’t be long before she begins Cultivation in earnest."
Having said that, perhaps because of Wang Ba’s previous cooperation, their relationship seemed to grow closer, he shook his head with a sigh:
"Alas, I was foolish, at such an old age, to still take on a disciple. Never again will I accept disciples, regardless of their talent, it’s too much of a worry, too trying..."
Wang Ba found it somewhat amusing but could also sympathize with the elder’s feelings.
In the Cultivation World, the relationship between master and disciple is often like that of parent and child.
For their children, they naturally break their hearts.
Like now, like Master Yao Wudi...
Thinking of Yao Wudi, a sense of longing inadvertently arose in Wang Ba’s heart.
A hurried meeting in Juhai City of West Sea Country and not even having time for a proper conversation.
After that, he didn’t even have the opportunity to meet him again, as Yao Wudi had to enter seclusion to consolidate his realm.
As his thoughts wandered.
Ding Chun suddenly spoke:
"The ’Dragon-Tiger Yuankan Method’ is a practice of the Thunder Law, and naturally, it’s most suitable to practice atop Tianji Peak."
"However, you cannot practice here."
Wang Ba was taken aback by this statement.
And Ding Chun continued earnestly:
"Strictly speaking, you’re only allowed to cultivate on Tianji Peak to the stage of Perfect Foundation Establishment."
"After that, you can no longer utilize the power of Thunder from this place to cultivate."
"Not just you, in fact, the same applies to the disciples of Tianji Peak."
Wang Ba was very surprised.
"Perfect Foundation Establishment? Uncle Master Ding, what is the reason for this?"
It was one thing for an outsider like him to have such constraints, but even the disciples of Tianji Peak couldn’t use it—that’s like guarding a mountain of gold but eating only plain buns.
Ding Chun, somewhat helplessly, explained:
"Do you know why many cultivators come to Tianji Peak to Cross their Tribulation?"
Wang Ba shook his head slightly.
"It’s quite simple. It is because many predecessors have cultivated the Thunder Law on this peak, and thus the peak has been influenced, gradually accumulating a vast power of Thunder, to the extent that Tianji Peak itself has been affected and has gradually developed the ability to weaken a small part of the Thunder Tribulation’s might."
"Once this effect was discovered, it attracted many cultivators of the Sect to come here for Crossing Tribulation, and the Thunder from their Tribulations was absorbed by Tianji Peak, making the effect even more pronounced."
