Could they be old acquaintances?
Upon reflection, Master Ling addressed Uncle Da Zhang as his senior, which seed less like they were old acquaintances. Moreover, when the Old Master ntioned the word "senior," he exhibited trendous respect, resembling an admirer speaking of their idol with a certain look of reverence.
With this in mind, Leng Xuan felt quite puzzled. However, Elder Ling was asking a question, so it wasn’t appropriate not to answer. He simply said, "Perhaps."
"Perhaps?" Ling Tian paused, clearly not quite understanding the aning behind Leng Xuan’s words.
Leng Xuan replied with a wry smile, "He’s never told his real na."
Ling Tian let out a long "oh," realizing that he had also used a false na upon arriving in this world. Perhaps that senior didn’t want others to know his true identity either? Feeling slightly disappointed, he sighed and turned to Leng Xuan, "Are you very curious as to how I guessed that the senior who passed the Defying Heaven Art to you is nad Zhang?"
Leng Xuan smiled faintly and said, "If it’s too difficult for Old Master, there’s no need to speak of it."
Ling Tian replied, "It’s nothing really, what secrets could there be between you and ? Ha-ha, you guessed correctly earlier, I indeed co from the Cultivation World. The Elder Zhang I ntioned earlier, although he does not belong to the Cultivation World, did spend so ti there. To my knowledge, no one else in this world has cultivated the Defying Heaven Art besides him."
"He doesn’t belong to the Cultivation World?" Leng Xuan’s curiosity was piqued as he asked, "Could it be that he is originally from this world?"
"This..." Ling Tian appeared to be in a difficult position, hesitated for a mont, and then responded, "If you get the chance, it’s better to ask him yourself. Since he hasn’t told you yet, there must be a profound reason, and it wouldn’t be right for to divulge too much." It seed that even Old Master Ling was sowhat wary of Uncle Da Zhang.
With Old Master saying as much, Leng Xuan didn’t feel it was proper to inquire further. Curiosity about Uncle Da Zhang grew inside him. Touching his nose and giving a bitter smile, he said, "Alright then. By the way, Old Master, what I wanted to talk to you about was that my cultivation of the Defying Heaven Art had reached a bottleneck two years ago, and I’ve been unable to break through. I thought that after healing you, my cultivation level would regress by several years, but after fully recovering last night, I realized that my cultivation level is still at that bottleneck, only with a bit less True Qi than before. Do you know why that might be?"
Ling Tian let out a long "oh," looking puzzled as he said, "Your situation is indeed very rare. However, the Defying Heaven Art you cultivate is profound and the finest among the heavenly cultivation thods, certainly beyond my comprehension. Nevertheless, based on my past experience, your condition might not be determined by the strength of your True Qi for advancing through realms."
Leng Xuan felt thoroughly confused and replied with a wry smile, "Old Master, I don’t quite understand what you an."
Ling Tian nodded and explained, "Let put it this way. In the world I ca from, there were so evil sects that would use the fresh blood, vital essence, or souls of living beings to enhance their own realms. Another thod involves directly absorbing the Malevolent Qi of heaven and earth to strengthen oneself, and the final thod is Sudden Enlightennt."
"Sudden Enlightennt?" Leng Xuan felt a sense of disgust when he heard about the previous cultivation thods, but this last one sparked his curiosity.
"Correct, Sudden Enlightennt!" Ling Tian continued, "So spells, when cultivated to a certain level, beco nearly impossible to advance. In our world, many rookie Cultivators face this scenario. In the beginning stages of cultivation, once they encounter a bottleneck, most people need a decade or even decades to break through, and so never manage to in their lifeti. I think you might be in the sa situation. At tis like this, it’s critical to maintain a proper mindset, find the breakthrough point, and shift so of your thoughts; otherwise, it’s like drilling into a dead end, and one day, you could end up being consud by your own pursuit and fall into a state of madness!"
