In the sa year, Niu Ganshan, who was on the verge of being expelled, finally broke through the Qi Refining Realm and beca the 776th Foundation Establishnt Cultivator of the sa rank.
After reaching Foundation Establishnt, Niu Ganshan, according to the Taoist Academy’s tradition, moved out of Foundation Establishnt City, and an abode opened by predecessors beca his future place of cultivation.
...
One day in mid-September.
On the grand Dao platform at the top of Scripture Collection Peak, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged in the air, slowly reviewing the Record Jade Scroll in his hand.
"Yang Fla Skill... borrowed by 1,009 people. Practiced by 271 individuals, with 107 reaching the Perfect Realm, the list is as follows: Zheng Chong, 17 years in the academy, Second Level of Foundation Establishnt..."
"Five Elents Rubbing Thunder Skill... borrowed by 4,900... 2,510 reaching Perfect Realm... Chen Jue, 20 years in the academy, Third Level of Foundation Establishnt..."
"Star God Ten Thoughts Technique... borrowed by 38,000... 99 reaching Perfect Realm... Zhang Fengxian, 4 years in the academy..."
"Martial God Strength... borrowed by 36... perfect achievers... none!"
"Water and Fire Twin Birth Skill... borrowed by 702... 3 reaching Perfect Realm... Niu Ganshan, 22 years in the academy..."
A dozen years ago, Zhao Sheng left several special spells that even those in the Qi Refining Realm could cultivate in Scripture Collection Peak.
On the surface, they were First-tier Magic, but in reality, they were the introductory parts of Zhao Sheng’s inheritance.
The purpose of spreading this inheritance was to gather the wisdom of all beings to broaden his own cultivation path.
Now, after over a decade, the number and identities of those who have read and cultivated these special spells are all recorded in this scroll.
After a mont, Zhao Sheng put away the Jade Scroll, his expression calm as water, showing no hint of joy or anger.
A breath later, a subtle and invisible Divine Thought enveloped the entire Scripture Collection Peak. The dozen or so people reading ancient books inside all looked up and around, quickly becoming filled with surprise and joy.
Soon after, a cloud of fiery red mist floated to the grand Dao platform at the peak. As the mist dispersed, it revealed a peerlessly beautiful woman, with heroic spirit between her brows and an extraordinary temperant, known as the "Nirvana Immortal" Zhang Fengxian.
"Disciple Fengxian, greets Master!" At the sight of the immortal-like figure’s back, Zhang Fengxian imdiately stepped forward and knelt.
At this mont, Zhao Sheng had already assud the appearance of an elderly Taoist with the essence of immortality.
"Rise, disciple," Zhao Sheng turned around and smiled slightly, "I summoned you here; can you guess the reason?"
The ga of guessing between master and disciple had occurred many tis.
Though Zhang Fengxian didn’t fully understand her master’s quirky taste, she still needed to correctly guess her master’s intention, because if she guessed right, her master, in a happy mood, would grant her one or two small wishes.
This had beco a "customary practice" between master and disciple, and no one would break the rules.
After thinking for a mont, Zhang Fengxian said, "Could it be that among the spells I practiced, there is one that is Master’s proud work? That’s why you summoned here."
Hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s smile remained unchanged, but his heart was secretly impressed: "As expected, she guessed right again. After all, she’s a Demoted Immortal reborn! Her Innate Spiritual Perception is truly too keen, almost bordering on precognition!"
After a thought, he restrained his smile and said solemnly, "Fenger, wise and unparalleled, indeed guessed it right! Yes, I intentionally placed the Star God Ten Thoughts Technique on the first floor of the Scripture Cave to leave an inheritance Magic Skill. Unexpectedly, you, my disciple, with discerning eyes, chose this Magic Skill.
It seems such is the will of heaven!
Fenger, I have a Star God Thousand Heart Technique, this skill is very mysterious, after achieving Great Success, one can have a Divine Split with a thousand thoughts, and yet the splits operate flawlessly. However, the cultivation process is fraught with dangers, easily leading to Divine Soul Split and falling into the path of a Fallen Demon.
If you are willing to cultivate this skill, I will teach it to you today. If not, I do not insist."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fengxian nodded without hesitation and said, "I am willing, please master grant the skill!"
"Good, if so, here is the Cultivation Technique Jade Scroll, take it!"
Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, then took out a milky white Jade Scroll from his sleeve and tossed it into the disciple’s arms.
Zhang Fengxian bowed again, "Thank you, master, for the granted skill!"
Zhao Sheng waved his long sleeve, turned his back, and said faintly, "This matter is concluded; you may go down the mountain now!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fengxian did not leave but instead uncharacteristically showed a bit of daughterly charm, and playfully said, "Master, you... cheated!"
Haha!
Zhao Sheng laughed heartily, turned back around while laughing: "Master is old, forgetful. Tell , what do you want this ti?"
Zhang Fengxian blinked her big eyes and boldly made a request: "I’ve set my eyes on that Danxia Mountain, can Master grant it to as a Dao Field for cultivation?"
As the Dean of the Taoist Academy, Zhao Sheng naturally couldn’t refuse his disciple’s wish. After all, it’s just a spirit peak in the inner layer, rely a matter of words.
Very well!
Within a couple of days, an order from the Dean ca down, causing the Foundation Establishnt and Golden Core disciples on Danxia Mountain to move out overnight, and since then, the spirit peak beca Zhang Fengxian’s personal Dao Field.
Not long after Zhang Fengxian left, content, another dozen or so people ascended the grand Dao platform, and Zhao Sheng offered each of them a choice.
As he expected, everyone chose the subsequent cultivation technique inheritance.
But the one that Zhao Sheng valued the most was Niu Ganshan, who chose to cultivate the Water and Fire Annihilation Divine Light.
In the absence of a subsequent cultivation technique, this person had vaguely sensed, from the allegorical phrase at the end, that beneath the appearance of water and fire clashing, there seed to be an indescribable latent power.
